I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1055, Section 1050: Reunion

"Dr. Qin, could you please listen to my thoughts?"

Ma En looked at Qin Lan, who was focused on preparing for work, and asked again.

Qin Lan glanced up at him with some impatience:
“I’ve already said that the treatment process should be led by the doctor. I know you have a lot of ideas, but patients’ ideas are often wildly imaginative. If I really follow your requirements, I won’t need treatment.”

Marx and Engels still insisted that:

“My request is not demanding. I just hope that you can use hypnosis to get closer to the present memory from the past. Although the last hypnosis session went smoothly, I always felt that it was a bit too far away.”

"Anyway, we're not in a hurry. It wouldn't hurt to try a different scenario this time."

Ma En could sense that Qin Lan clearly had her own ideas, and that she didn't just want to treat him; she seemed more like a mad scientist researching her own theories.

It is precisely for this reason that she has a certain obsession and stubbornness with the so-called "treatment".

Qin Lan looked at Ma En with displeasure:

"Are you the doctor or am I? Didn't you say you would cooperate with my treatment?"

Mar and Eng said with an innocent expression:
“I understand Dr. Qin’s thinking, and in principle I should cooperate with your treatment. My suggestion was a bit too willful, but I am also mentally ill, although I don’t know why I should do this…”

“But I can feel that I want to recover more recent memories. This is not something that can be reasoned with. I hope that Dr. Qin can also understand my thoughts as a mental patient.”

Looking at Ma En's expression, Qin Lan also sensed that he was not easy to deal with. Although his tone was never particularly forceful, it subtly revealed a certain unshakeable will.

To be honest, her request was somewhat unreasonable, since this type of treatment is specifically designed to take into account the patient's various emotions, which is an important part of her job, although...

Qin Lan sighed and finally gave in:

"Alright, let's do it your way and bring the hints closer to the point, but we still have to take it slowly. If anything goes wrong this time, you'll have to treat according to my pace."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"no problem."

Qin Lan got up and adjusted the lights in the room slightly to make the atmosphere more suitable for therapy.

"You once mentioned to me that your relationship with her didn't progress very smoothly, and it even took many years to establish a relationship. However, it's not that either of you pursued the other for a long time."

"To be more precise, you developed those feelings for each other after you had known each other for a long time. Before that, you were just work partners and friends for a long period of time."

"To be honest, I don't know if you're telling the truth, because you said that you didn't have any feelings for her for a long time. This is not a very common situation in relationships that develop into romantic relationships, especially since you two seem to be quite familiar with each other."

"But this familiarity and deep understanding of each other did not lead to a relationship, and you said that she probably didn't have any feelings for you at the time either. How do you feel about this statement?"

Maren pondered and said:

"This sounds quite reasonable to me, at least I can hardly imagine myself experiencing a traditional relationship, although it may also be because I am not actually that age anymore."

"If you told me that I would also fall passionately in love when I was young, I wouldn't be unable to accept it, but I'm afraid I would find it difficult to have similar thoughts now."

Qin Lan looked at him with some surprise; she had been hoping that Ma En would slip up on this matter.

"Since you think so too, it's very likely that the situation was indeed as you said, that you and she really went through a long period of time without any feelings for each other. Then we can find a relatively recent example. "Actually, I don't know the exact time, but I can confirm that this happened at this stage, when you and she were still work partners, and you were working together to solve a problem."

"This incident likely occurred at the beach, but let's move away from the beach for now..."

Her voice began to become increasingly muffled and intermittent.

"...Let's go back to the forest and that calming little pond, relax, feel your breath, and with each breath you'll feel your body become more relaxed..."

The darkness, like a hunting dog, suddenly attacked him, and Qin Lan's voice was completely drowned out by the seawater.

The salty sea breeze blew open his eyelids.

The setting sun, as red as a giant apple, lay on the horizon, bathing the distant horizon where the sky and sea met in a pale red hue, almost merging them together.

"What's wrong, are you engrossed in watching?" A somewhat familiar girl's voice sounded behind him.

Ma En turned around and looked behind him.

Xiao Ti was standing behind him in her swimsuit, and Ma En immediately noticed that she seemed to be a little older than when they last met, and the height difference between them had also increased considerably.

Clearly, some time has passed since their initial encounter.

"What's wrong?" Xiaoti asked, puzzled.

Marx and Engels cleared their throats and then asked:

What are we doing here?

The fairy explained with some confusion:

"There aren't any psychics around here. Is something wrong with your brain? The reality distortion power on your body isn't knotted either. Wait, something's strange..."

“Your power…” She frowned and circled Marne twice, “This sense of disparity, unless some impossible reality warper has attacked you…”

"Marne, this isn't the real world, is it?"

Marx and Engels nodded:

"These are my memories, and you should be dead by now. I have lost my memories of you. If I'm not mistaken, there is a memory gap in the near future. The cause of this gap is a guy I call the Unmemorable One, but the real reason is to prevent some kind of apocalypse from coming."

"After the fault line, the Cherubim distorted the world again in some way, which weakened the gap in my memories of you, so that I can see you here."

"Can you understand?"

The fairy nodded:

"Of course, I'm not stupid, Marne."

Although it had only been a few days since they last met, this Xiaoti was vastly different from the last one. Her attitude towards him was obviously much better, after all, it wasn't their first time meeting.

Sensing this, Mar and Eng spoke up directly:
"Although I don't know your current situation, I need your help, is that alright?"

The fairy girl said without hesitation:
"Of course, why are you being so polite?"
