Ning Changkong only spoke after they had walked out of Building 4:
"That guy must be an alien."

Marx and Engels naturally continued walking back:

"And we know his name and identity."

She looked up at Marne and nodded as if praising a primary school student:
"You did a good job, you're a competent follower now."

Marx and Engels asked:

"So what should we do next? Now that we know his name and identity, how should we proceed? You said before that we need to know his identity..."

The girl interrupted him nonchalantly, then said somewhat perfunctorily:
"You can rest now. The things I need to deal with are beyond the help of my subordinates. I will ask if I need you. Now you can go back."

She paused here, her eyes seeming to say that it was time for them to part ways.

"That's it?" Marne asked, puzzled.

She nodded firmly:

"that's it."

Although she remained as capricious as ever, Ma En said nothing. Her behavior, while resembling that of a mentally ill patient who didn't follow the rules, also seemed like that of a prophet who had taken a shortcut.

Because we know where the shortcut is, we don't need to act logically.

Ma En nodded, and seeing that she seemed to still be standing there, he turned around and went back to the hospital.

However, this brief exploration proved that his judgment was correct. He was not drawn into any inescapable trouble, and he even obtained some intelligence.

If his speculation is correct, the aliens should be associated with a great enemy, and this Victor is likely the "servant of the great enemy" that the Divine Eye had mentioned in the past, and also the being he needs to be wary of.

Although his most pressing enemy now is the seal from Heaven, Maren has not forgotten that the Divine Eye guided him to this future precisely because of the question of the great enemy.

In this apocalyptic situation, he had no choice but to face it, especially since in most cases now, perhaps only the Divine Eye and Divine Fist could offer some help.

And he probably has to rely more on himself.

As Marne walked through the gloomy path and stepped onto the steps of the doorway, he had a strange feeling of returning from the world of the dead to the mortal world, and the path behind him seemed to be a bridge between the two worlds.

He skillfully stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for his sixth-floor apartment.

Clang.

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing an unusually quiet corridor.

Marne looked surprised and walked out cautiously. There were only a few figures sitting on chairs in the corridors on both sides, and there were no priests or medical staff in his field of vision.

There were far fewer patients at this density than usual.

Seeing this, he walked toward the nearest figure, but as he got a little closer, he noticed a more familiar figure sitting further away. It was a young girl with an ordinary face, and she was holding an ice pack in her hand, applying it to her slightly swollen face.

Marne walked up to her:
"Bliss?"

The girl looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:

"I got beaten up, Marne."

She spoke in a very familiar tone, completely ignoring Maren's amnesia.

Maren sat down beside her as if they were old friends:

"What happened? Did someone attack you? And why are they all gone?"

Bliss shook her head:

"No, not really. I was accidentally injured. Didn't you hear the noise just now?"

“I just went downstairs,” Marne asked, puzzled. “What happened?”

"Ouch!" The girl touched her face with an ice pack. "Actually, I didn't see the scene with my own eyes. I was just bumped into by the evacuation crowd. But I heard that a mentally ill person went crazy."

Marx and Engels asked curiously:
"A mentally unstable person going insane?"

The mentally ill patient, Jile, nodded:
"I didn't see the scene either, but it seemed like a lot of pastors were rushing over there, and there were constant sounds of commotion until it just calmed down a bit."

Marx and Engels thought for a moment, then asked:

"Why don't we go and see what's going on? Anyway, it's quiet now."

He could go see it himself, but having a companion is always a good thing. At least it will make him look a little more normal. Even if someone sees them, their first thought will be how serious Jile's injuries are, not why they turned back.

Jile hesitated for a moment; it was clear she didn't want to move around with her injuries, but she finally said:
"Okay, but we need to be careful."

Hearing this, Ma En breathed a sigh of relief. Her reaction was quite normal, which made him feel familiar and at ease after spending some time with Ning Changkong.

Although she is actually crazy, she is considered quite normal here, especially compared to Ning Changkong and Shadow, who are also former abnormal powerhouses. Jile is almost a completely ordinary person.

"By the way, are you out of your mind?" she said belatedly as she stood up. "Don't you remember our relationship?"

Marx and Engels nodded:

"We're friends, right?"

Bliss smiled:
"That's right, and we're very good friends. We're practically inseparable brothers. Oh, right, since you've forgotten, I still have to emphasize that I'm a boy. Don't get that wrong."

"And it's not that I feel trapped in a girl's body or anything, I'm a man, and I don't know why guys all over the world can't understand this. This really bothers me."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"I understand now, perhaps there is something wrong with this world from the start."

Upon hearing this, Jile looked startled, glancing nervously around before turning back to Marx and Engels with a serious expression.

"You can't say things like that. I know you have some mental issues, but if the pastor hears you, it could cause trouble. They might suspect you're possessed by a demon."

"This is a world created by the returnees." Ma En nodded and said gratefully:
"Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."

He didn't know the underlying principles, but it seemed that after the arrival of the new world, the Prince of Elysium's situation had become more "normal" than before.

While this might not be a good change for the "devil" Prince of Elysium, she certainly doesn't resemble the seductive devil she once was, nor even the haughty fairy she is now.

If I had to say, it would probably be closer to the result of balancing these two states.

Jile raised his hand and punched Mar and Eng on the shoulder:

"Don't be so polite, we're old friends. By the way, how are you feeling? Is your brain still acting like this because of what happened in the past?"

Marx and Engels' tone then became more natural:

"Qin Lan examined me and said there shouldn't be any major problems, but it might not get better for a while. Fortunately, it won't affect my life too much. Anyway, my past situation isn't really worth remembering."

Jile quickly shook his head:

"That's not how it is. You used to tell me a lot about the past. At least in my opinion, your life is quite memorable. Even if you leave some things behind, it doesn't mean you should abandon them."

Marx and Engels asked, feigning curiosity:
"So you've heard about my deceased wife? What kind of person was she, in my eyes?"

The girl looked up and pondered:

“You’ve told many stories, and you always have a smile on your face when you tell them. Although not every story is perfect, I can feel how much she loves you.”

"And the fact that you always tell the same kind of story says something..."

As she spoke, the figures of many pastors gradually appeared in front of them, and nurses and patients continued to move towards them. Several of the nurses glanced at him.

But none of them stopped him, which seemed to indicate that the situation had calmed down.

After walking for a while, Ma En saw a very familiar figure from behind.

Chen Yun, dressed in a priest's robe, was standing in the middle of the corridor, and she was radiating a faint golden light.

Marne stepped forward and called out:
"Pastor Chen, what happened here?"

Chen Yun turned around in surprise, his gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Yun and Jile a few times before he feigned a natural expression of concern:

"Why are you here?"

Marne pointed behind her:
"I heard some noise, it sounded like there was a patient attack?"

Chen Yun nodded:

“That’s right, and it’s not an ordinary attack. A demon has entered his body, and even angels have been attracted by the commotion. This is no small matter, so you must not get involved.”

Marx and Engels looked surprised and asked with concern:
"Were the devil and the patient caught?"

Chen Yun nodded:

"The devil has been banished by the angels, and the patient's condition has stabilized somewhat, but there are still significant problems. We found on him the books and tools that the devil used to bewitch mortals."

"He has now been taken into custody and imprisoned underground. Priests and angels are now personally performing the remaining exorcism rituals for him."

Marx and Engels asked, feigning curiosity:
"Did you see that patient? Is he male or female? What kind of person is he? Does he look strange after being possessed?"

Faced with the various questions raised by Marx and Engels, Chen Yun smiled:
"Although he was possessed by a demon, he didn't look like a terrifying monster. He looked like an ordinary old man, except that he might be unusually strong."

"Actually, these kinds of unusual details are the evidence of the devil's presence. Mortals who are truly possessed will not have particularly strange characteristics, because devils are not stupid. They are quite cunning and very good at hiding their tracks in front of us. Otherwise, the devil that entered your body back then would not have not been found by now."

Although he had expected it, Ma En was still quite disappointed to hear this answer. It was clear that the patient who had been caught was Shen Quan. Ma En did not know how he had been targeted by angels and the church, but he probably hadn't actually committed any acts of violence against others, nor was he likely possessed by a demon.

If we really have to say what attracted Heaven's attention, it's probably the martial arts he gave out, or other problems that this action ultimately caused, such as making the Divine Fist realize that there's something wrong with this world itself.

Judging from his mental state at the time, he shouldn't have gone out of his way to cause trouble on the eve of restoring his martial arts skills. At least he didn't seem to have gone mad; in fact, he was much more normal than someone in a state of bliss.

Whatever Heaven found, the good news is that he wasn't taken away along with them. Judging from Chen Yun's current reaction, he probably hasn't entered Heaven's field of vision yet, which is probably why God's Eye wanted to take him away.

I must have avoided something.

Marx and Engels nodded to Chen Yun:
"I never expected to find something like this right next to us. Luckily, I wasn't nearby at the time, otherwise I might have been attacked by this madman."

The true devil, Bliss, nodded:
"Yeah, that was terrifying. I didn't even see the guy before my face got swollen from the impact."

Chen Yun looked at Jile and smiled:
"Don't worry, the Lord will still take care of you. Although this incident is very critical, no one has actually suffered any irreparable damage. Xiao Le, the injury on your face may even be the most serious one in this incident."

"No matter how cunning and evil the devil may be, we will stop him."

“Ma En hasn’t been doing well lately, so I’ll have to trouble you to take good care of him, Xiao Le.”

Her tone of voice was clearly familiar with Bliss, and this detached manner reminded Ma En of the situation when he first met Chen Yun after the fault line. Perhaps the instincts in his body had not yet been erased by the new world, and she still spoke like his older sister.

Bliss proudly puffed out its chest:
"Don't worry, Sister Chen, Ma En will definitely be fine if I leave him to me. If that madman really comes in front of us, I can unleash my full power and beat him down."

As she spoke, she mimicked a few punches and kicks.

Seeing this, Chen Yun also revealed a doting look as if he were looking at an adorable child, and raised his hand to pat Jile's head:
"Okay, then he'll be in your care."

After saying that, she looked at Mar and Engels and said in a serious tone:
"Although this kind of thing doesn't happen often, if you encounter a similar situation again, don't go to the place where the devil is just to watch the excitement. This time we were lucky to take down the devil quickly, and with me here, there won't be any problems. But if the situation were slightly different, your behavior would be very dangerous."

Towards the end, her words unconsciously became stern.

Upon hearing this, Marx and Engels smiled:
"Hearing you say that, I always feel like you're my older sister."

Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure:
"Although I didn't watch you grow up, all mortals are the lambs of the Lord. As pastors, we have a responsibility to guide you, and it's not only when the devil appears that we shouldn't get involved."

"No matter what, you need to be careful in the future. I know you just had a brain fart, so I won't say much this time, but you have to be careful next time, okay?"

Seemingly having been exposed by Marx and Engels' words, Chen Yun's tone no longer carried any harshness.

Things returned to normal.
