I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Cao Yan opened her eyes.

The cold sunlight streamed in from the window onto her bed, and the pristine white ceiling was tinged with streaks of gold. A drowsiness she hadn't felt in ages quickly dissipated from her mind, and the haziness and confusion faded away.

This feeling was similar to how she felt each time she was resurrected.

It had been a long time since she had slept so well.

Then, the memories from her dream flooded her mind, completely waking Cao Yan up.

That other half of the world was not only real, but she had indeed met a certain cultivator. If she wasn't mistaken, he should have existed in that era, and…

He was still alive.

Just like the rumors said, that civilization's "magic technology" was more advanced, involving every method they could imagine. Simply learning that civilization's magic could extend one's lifespan.

Their mastery of "magic" was so profound that they could naturally attain immortality.

Unlike the mages of the Rama Empire, who needed to additionally learn reincarnation spells, life spells, or necromancy to prolong their lives, or rely on things like the Fountain of Youth.

Furthermore, if she understood correctly, this life-extension technology should be extremely advanced, likely without any of the flaws of common life-extension techniques, and with various benefits for the body.

It was precisely because of such a highly developed magical civilization that they could master resurrection technology.

Although they also had some resurrection spells in the Rama era, she couldn't remember how to use them, and those spells often had various limitations and weren't perfect.

If anyone had perfect resurrection technology, it would definitely be the cultivation civilization.

Judging from that young man's reaction, her assessment shouldn't be wrong.

Although many aspects of him were extremely suspicious, such as the oath without any proof and the sudden proposal to deal with逍遥子, Cao Yan didn't care at all.

In any case, she had plenty of opportunities to try.

Getting out of bed, she changed her clothes.

She walked to the cabinet, squatted down, and began tidying up the clutter.

Cao Yan was preparing to leave the hospital.

Regardless of whether there were conspiracies or tricks involved, she intended to try to deal with that evil cultivator, and she already had several feasible ideas. Even if she had lost most of her power, it wouldn't affect her actions.

She swept aside the soft clothing on the cabinet, carefully reaching for the photo frame at the bottom, gently wiping the dust off the frame with a towel.

The well-preserved photo became clearer and clearer.

A giant Ferris wheel stood behind them, with many blurred figures coming and going. Standing in the far left front was a young girl with dark brown skin, her face beaming with a happy, radiant smile.

As if she would be this happy for the rest of her life.

And beside her stood a blurred figure.

Cao Yan frowned slightly, reaching out to wipe the photo frame again.

Still blurry.

Impossible, nothing could contaminate this photo. How could his figure become blurred? She clearly remembered this photo…

Then, Cao Yan immediately realized a terrible fact.

She suddenly couldn't remember what the photo looked like.

She couldn't even remember when she went to the amusement park with him. Thinking further, intense fear and panic completely overwhelmed Cao Yan's mind.

She couldn't even remember his face. Thinking carefully…

She hadn't said his name in a long time.

Suppressing the panic, she looked down at the photo. This time, Cao Yan forced herself to focus on the people behind them. Almost all of the passersby were blurred, with only a few appearing normal.

Faceless and shapeless, like ghosts who had already died.

She suddenly raised her head.

When did she get hospitalized?

No, she didn't remember.

Cao Yan quickly stood up, directly packing all her belongings. She had to leave the hospital now and contact Ma En according to her original plan.

Among all the people she thought of asking to help find 逍遥子, Ma En was originally at the top of the list.

Originally, she wanted Ma En to help her find 逍遥子. Strictly speaking, he owed her a favor, not to mention that after waking up this time, she brought back a piece of news that he would likely be very interested in.

By observing the dream, she could be sure that Ma En didn't know about this, after all, he didn't seem to know the true appearance of those creatures she had seen, nor did he understand how dreams worked.

But with the knowledge she possessed, it was easy to judge an important thing…

An extremely easily overlooked thing.

But now she had to ask properly how Ma En entered this hospital, and then see if she could use this news or other rewards to get his help…

…Ma En?

Cao Yan's movements paused, then she straightened up and turned her head to look towards the doorway.

At some point, the door to the ward had been opened, and a strange, bloated figure stood there, instantly alerting Cao Yan, because he seemed to have been standing there for a long time.

In the instant a thought flashed through her mind.

This figure was wearing some kind of completely sealed professional clothing.

What he was wearing looked a bit like a hazmat suit, but it was much wider. The whole thing was white, and the position of the head was completely different from an ordinary hazmat suit, it was a near-spherical helmet.

The front of the helmet had a black curved mirror, and the other party's eyes seemed to be hidden behind the black mirror.

"Who are you?" Cao Yan looked at him with sharp eyes.

"You, just, wanted, to, tell…" The intermittent muffled voice sounded like it was coming from a coffin, "…Ma En, what?"

Seeing this, Cao Yan didn't waste any more words, directly making a hand gesture with cold eyes.

Although she didn't remember much knowledge, she could still manage to tidy up the room.

With her movements, complex magic arrays lit up on all the walls, and a suffocatingly terrifying aura instantly descended, several powerful and deadly spells instantly descending on the white figure.

But just as the spells landed, regular patterns appeared on the surface of the white uniform…

Silence.

None of the magic took effect.

Cao Yan's eyes were fixed on those patterns, immediately realizing that the situation was not good, because with her extensive knowledge, she immediately realized where she had seen patterns arranged in this way.

It was the shape of dragon scales.

Any power that dragons do not understand cannot penetrate their dragon scales. This creature is almost the most terrifying mage killer.

Seeing this, the bloated white figure also raised its hand, seemingly wanting to do something to her.

Cao Yan made another gesture.

A death spell descended on her body. As her body turned to dust, everything in front of her gradually crumbled before her eyes, and then she fell into the deepest darkness.

In her perception, it was almost the next moment.

Fresh air suddenly flooded her lungs, reigniting her rusty body like gasoline. Then, she used her hands to prop up this tattered body that had just died and struggled to stand up.

What exactly is that guy?

…Me?

As the thought flashed through her mind, Cao Yan also saw the white figure appearing out of nowhere in front of her.
