I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1038, Section 1033: Monster Attack
Marne said with some surprise:
"So you didn't hide any schemes or tricks inside?"

The girl revealed a look of pride in her work:

"Of course, although I still have a mischievous nature, tormenting wishers is a rather boring thing to me. Only a fairy without talent would stop there."

"Instead of doing something that anyone can do, I prefer to achieve my wishes in some unconventional way. Don't you think my approach is much more interesting than theirs?"

Marx and Engels said thoughtfully:

“Indeed, what you’re doing is much more challenging and imaginative than torturing wishers.”

Upon hearing this, the girl proudly said:

"Of course, I'm not that kind of vulgar fairy, but don't get me wrong, I'm not doing these things just out of kindness, it's just that I have different pursuits than them."

Marx and Engels also realized something:
"But if such things get out, wouldn't they inevitably attract greedy humans? You not only seem to be more talented than your peers, but also more 'valuable'."

The girl looked at Marx and Engels with some surprise:

“That’s right, you’ve thought it through very clearly. But I’m still alive, aren’t I? So your greed is actually a minor matter. After all, although you like to lie, you are also easily manipulated.”

Marx and Engels asked curiously:
"So, is this shipment also related to your reputation?"

The fairy girl thought for a moment and said:
"In other words, everything in the world is interconnected..."

Hearing her obviously vague answer, Mar and Eng immediately changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, do you have a name? I didn't even know you fairies had names?"

The girl seemed quite interested when she heard the question:

“Good question. To be honest, names are completely different for fairies and you, because we don’t have parents like you animals do, so no one will name us.”

"But we still have to call each other by our names, so gradually the fairies formed this custom. We would choose our favorite nickname as our name. However, most of the time a fairy may only have one nickname, so they can only accept their current name for the time being."

"And once they have their original name, although they can still change it, it's difficult for humans and fairies to come up with another nickname for you once you have one."

"So in most cases, fairies have to live their whole lives with their original nickname, as for me..."

"You can call me Xiaoti."

She once again evaded her question, which was quite reasonable for a fairy, since a creature that cannot lie must have mastered the art of speaking.

Marx and Engels said quite naturally:

"Xiao Ti? Is there anything you like...?"

Just as he was about to continue digging into the fairy's secrets, some traces suddenly reappeared in the distant sky.

In fact, the world before Marne's eyes was completely shrouded in darkness, but in the sky that was completely composed of darkness, there seemed to be some darker patches than the surroundings, and even the area around them appeared to be slightly bright.

“Shadow Ravens,” the fairy girl lowered her body slightly, “these creatures mainly eat flying insects, but they don’t mind eating firmer meat. You should be able to handle them, right?” Ma En asked:

"Is there anything I should be aware of?"

Upon hearing this somewhat ominous question, the girl immediately moved closer to Mar and Eng:

"They move through the shadows, which is why there are so many Shadow Ravens in the Dark Dimension. When they live here, their abilities are basically equivalent to moving through space."

As she spoke, the dark shadow in the distance had already disappeared into the darkness. When it reappeared, it had changed direction and was heading this way, only a few hundred meters away from them.

Ma En skillfully created layers of psychic protective shields around himself and created many net-like objects in the air to ensure that anyone who teleported near him would fall into the net.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been able to exert his spiritual power for so long that such a simple operation gave Mar and Eng a familiar and reassuring feeling, even if the return of this power was just a temporary illusion.

puff.

The two shadow crows flying at the front flashed to his front and back respectively, and both fell into the layers of fishing nets he had prepared in advance. The psychic net tightened quickly the moment it caught them.

A piercing howl echoed through the sky, and bright red blood dripped down their feathers. Upon seeing this, the shadow crows in the distance immediately slowed down and scattered in all directions.

But they didn't leave. Instead, they continued to watch him intently, as if the setback of their companions didn't make them realize how troublesome they were. And what happened next was indeed the case.

Despite being entangled by telekinesis, the two shadow crows immediately teleported away after calming down. Although they were left with serious wounds, they were not in any real danger.

In their brief encounter, Ma En could also confirm that their physical constitution was at the IV level. Although it might not be particularly strong among those of the same level, his own mental strength was currently only at the mid-level of the IV.

It's not easy to kill them quickly with just mental power, and these Shadow Ravens have clearly realized something and have begun to circle around themselves from a greater distance, constantly flashing.

Instead of attacking, they circled around like vultures, seemingly waiting for them to reveal a weakness. Clearly, these creatures also possess relatively complex intelligence.

If there were weapons, such as fishing net threads, instead of relying solely on mental power to create such an attack, then that move should have already killed those two shadow crows.

Unfortunately, he didn't have anything that looked like a weapon on him. At least, he didn't find anything like it during the first few checks he did when he entered the dream. Perhaps he was actually carrying weapons, but he just couldn't find them right now, just like he didn't know how to change his appearance.

But he wasn't completely empty-handed.

Ma En reached into his robes and then made a slight assessment of the object's texture.

Then he took out the card from the arcade and, to Xiaoti's surprise, threw it in front of him. In just a few seconds, the small black card disappeared from their sight.

The shadow crows in the distance seemed to have noticed his movements, but they quickly shifted their attention and began flapping their wings and flashing away to other places, as tentacles made of mental energy were attacking them.

Snapped.

A shadowy raven, now dead, suddenly fell to the ground.
