I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1100, page 1095: Time Feels Like a Year
A hazy, thunderous roar, like mist, jolted the groggy Marne awake. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately saw the source of the sound—a gigantic waterfall that resembled a magnificent city wall.

It resembles a towering mountain range or a giant Great Wall built by giants. When Marne saw the top of the waterfall, he was already gazing at the sky itself, and the sides of the waterfall were also endless.

A strange sense of insignificance instantly overwhelmed him, as if he had been shrunk to the size of an insect; otherwise, the scene before him would be impossible to explain.

The ancient pines standing on the boulders looked like potted plants in front of the waterfall, and Maren couldn't accurately judge their true size.

He immediately realized that this scene was unusual, not only because it was impossible for it to form naturally in the post-fault world, but also because this feeling could have a special effect on martial artists.

That's why he's here right now.

Marne forced himself to pull away from the feeling that surrounded him, then readjusted his senses to the scene before him, and began to look for any signs of other humans around him.

But after only a few glances, he sensed something was wrong.

Moss-covered boulders, trees growing on the rocks...

However, there was no sign of any animals. Not only were there no birds in the distant sky, but there were also no traces of insects around him.

Maren closed his eyes and patiently felt his body.

My spirit is completely empty.

He didn't sense the presence of spiritual power, whereas last time he could at least sense a mid-level IV spiritual power.

However, his body was unusually energetic.

Ma En jumped up lightly.

Despite not exerting any force, he instantly jumped to a height of several hundred meters, and the whole world around him rapidly sank, with everything on the ground shrinking rapidly.

But the waterfall remains magnificent.

Marne landed gently on the spot.

This body has reached a level he has never achieved before. Although it should still be at the level of acquired skills, it has a sense of harmony that he cannot describe. In fact, Maren vaguely felt that this might be the most perfect state.

Because he himself had never reached such a level, he could not make an accurate judgment, but it was clearly a powerful state that he had never reached before.

But the question is, why has his mental strength disappeared?

Is it because this is a memory? But if that's the case, why was he able to use his mental powers last time? Could this be someone else's memory, and he accidentally entered another scene?

And where exactly is this place? What is this waterfall?
"Is anyone there?" Marn shouted at the top of his lungs. "We need to put down what we're doing for a moment. I have something important to discuss with you that concerns the very survival of the world. Can you hear me?"

The only response he received was the roar of the waterfall.

"Divine Fist? Wang Sheng? Hua Lengyun? Xiao Ti?" He was still not giving up. "Heavenly Demon, Cao Yan, Divine Eye?"

But no matter what name he called out, the world remained silent. If it weren't for the sound of the waterfall, the whole world might have fallen into a terrible stillness.

There wasn't even a breeze.

Marne gazed thoughtfully at the waterfall.

From our current perspective, this waterfall isn't so high that jumping hundreds of meters wouldn't change its height, meaning it contains some kind of power.

This place feels like some kind of illusion or independent space, and this waterfall is probably the most important symbol of this space. Even if I jump up, I can't touch it, probably because of some kind of sealing power.

But why is he here?
Unless Qin Lan tampered with the hypnosis, he should have entered memories related to martial arts, and it should be about studying under a top-notch teacher.

It's possible that he doesn't actually have that kind of memory, or it's possible that this is where his memories of learning martial arts are.

He just hasn't fully realized his current situation yet. Perhaps this scene is a special martial arts training environment created by his master that can provide him with some help.

He just hasn't figured it out yet.

If this is the case, considering that no one is responding to you, there are a few possibilities: either there is no one around for the time being, or no one is observing you.

Or perhaps the other party heard your call but doesn't intend to show themselves.

Thinking of this, Ma En tried shouting a few more times, mentioning the end of the world, reality distortion, and other alarmist topics, but still no one responded to him.

Despite receiving no response, Maren did not feel discouraged or confused, but instead turned his attention back to his body.

His current abundant physical strength might be enough to solve his problem.

Maren sat cross-legged right there and focused all his energy into his body, beginning to circulate his incredibly proficient Immortal Technique.

But as soon as he began to circulate his energy, he felt strong resistance. Clearly, this body had never used such martial arts before. As a cultivation method, the Undying Technique is not something that can be achieved simply by knowing it.

As if he had a stitch, he was quickly choked out of his meditative state.

Maren calmed himself down a bit and then started circulating the Undying Technique again, but this time he was much more careful than before, trying his best not to disturb this unsuitable body.

Although it was still running with some stumbles, this time he did not immediately withdraw from meditation, but instead barely began to operate the Undying Law, and soon arrived at the eve of the sprouting area.

However, unlike in reality, there is no reality-distorting force here that shaped the new world. In other words, there is no soil for him to survive here, and even if he sprouts, he doesn't know where to take root.

He was surrounded by air, with nowhere to go.

But this feeling didn't last long, because Ma En soon discovered new ground—this body that was somewhat unfamiliar to him, a body with the acquired realm that contained powerful energy.

Moreover, he himself did not know how to use this power. Although he could use this body to exert the physical qualities he had acquired, it was completely incomparable to his true martial arts power.

At this moment, this body bears some resemblance to the new world itself.

Ma En quickly immersed himself in exploring it, but the process was not smooth. Without the help and guidance of the Heavenly Demon, he soon encountered countless problems in his cultivation.

However, since there was no danger in the outside world, and the flow of time in his consciousness differed from that in reality, based on past experience, even if several days had passed in the dream, only a few moments might have passed in reality.

Moreover, if she falls asleep for too long, Qin Lan will wake her up.

Therefore, he stopped thinking about it and began to patiently re-cultivate the Undying Technique, trying to adjust its details to find a foothold for it. Although this was the first time he had adjusted his martial arts on his own, after learning so many martial arts techniques and principles, it was not impossible, and it was not difficult in martial arts theory either.

If the Heavenly Demon had built a planet-destroying cannon, then what he was doing now was simply adjusting the direction of the cannon's muzzle and trying his best not to damage the cannon itself in the process.

Time flew by as he immersed himself in martial arts. Several days, or even more than ten days, passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, the sun did not set, and he was so engrossed in the application and modification of martial arts that he did not pay much attention to how much time had passed.

In fact, he didn't even know when it happened...

But the indestructible law had already taken root in his body.

By the time Marne realized what was happening, the seedling was already unfurling its moist leaves.

"Hoo." He exhaled slowly, like a plant photosynthesizing.

Although he had only just reached the Acquired Realm, and he could feel that his root system was not stable and the speed at which he absorbed nutrients was far slower than normal.

But no matter what, this body has mastered the indestructible technique of the acquired realm.

Moreover, he could sense that the body was rich in nutrients, and he could not feel any signs of depletion of nutrients in the short term.

After mastering the Immortal Law, he felt he had a stronger control over his body. Although his body was no longer as harmonious and even looked a bit tattered, he felt better about it.

Because although this body was originally exceptionally harmonious, it was so harmonious that it didn't seem like his own, but rather like external nature itself, completely beyond his control. Of course...

This is because it doesn't belong to its current self.

Although it is somewhat rudimentary now, it is completely under his control. Those near-natural states have begun to settle downwards, transforming into the soil at the very bottom of his body, no longer appearing so dazzling.

After mastering the Immortal Technique once again, Ma En shouted a few more times towards the sky.

But there has still been no response.

Seeing this, Ma En did not remain idle, but began to do what he had originally wanted to do: he started to explore the world using the waterfall itself as a coordinate.

He walked towards the waterfall for several days, but the waterfall still seemed so far away, which made Marne feel that the waterfall might be even bigger than he had imagined.

Of course, he quickly dispelled this misconception.

Rather than actual physical distance, this phenomenon is more likely caused by some kind of abnormal force.

Realizing this, Ma En began wandering in other directions, hoping to get away from the huge waterfall or find something.

But things were no better than when he was heading towards the waterfall.

None of the directions brought about any change.

Moreover, during this time, he also became completely certain that this world was not normal. This place was definitely not a place that could be seen everywhere before the fault line, because no matter which way he went, he could not change the perceived distance to the waterfall.

Moreover, even if he went very far, he still couldn't leave the area.

The surrounding environment remained exactly as he had initially seen it; the entire ecosystem and climate had not changed, as if he were truly a small insect trapped in some kind of terrarium.

The further Ma En walked, the more he felt that this place was a man-made scene. Even if it was some kind of independent, unusual space, the artificial traces here were a bit too obvious.

Although he wasn't moving at full speed, he was now a post-natal martial artist, and he even felt that if he were in the world after the fault line, the distance he had traveled in the past few days would be enough to circle this planet several times.

During this period of exploration, Ma En did not give up on the Immortal Law. Although the Immortal Law could become stronger on its own after taking root, he would still take the time to make some adjustments to ensure that it ran as smoothly as possible.

And so another unknown amount of time passed.

In fact, Maren could clearly sense that it had only been a few days, but he also suspected that the real situation might be quite different from his judgment, because in these few days he had finally managed to run the Immortal Law to a relatively smooth level.

But can he really do that in such a short time?
He had never tried anything like this before, but the speed always made him feel a little suspicious.

Maren had a vague feeling that he might really be trapped here, and that this place seemed to have some kind of strange influence on him now.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he gave up the idea of ​​retreating.

There may be some potential risks involved, but this level of risk is necessary, and he has now completed his initial plan.

After the immortality method gradually became smooth, Marne casually found a boulder to stand on.

Then, he raised his head.

The terrifying waterfall's top resembled a white line piercing the sky, its white waters pouring down like the blood of the heavens onto the entire world, or like a white curtain obscuring the real world.

Looking at this strange sight, Ma En recalled the martial arts that the Heavenly Demon had taught him.

Then, he raised his hand towards the waterfall itself.

Capture the god.

Nothing happened; his movements were clearly not up to standard.

But Marx and Engels had a feeling about it.

Although his performance this time was still far from perfect, it was the best he had ever done.

Sure enough, the martial arts cultivation and memory environment within his body significantly helped him in his martial arts practice.

Realizing this, Ma En seized the opportunity and began to cultivate here day and night. According to what the Heavenly Demon said, with his talent, it might take him several years to learn this martial art.

In reality, this is of course impossible. He will never have such a time, and he will probably encounter unavoidable danger in two or three months.

But it's different here. Whether in Qin Lan's office or when he used the mind-reversing drug at the Control Bureau, the time he spent in his memories was much longer than in reality.

Although the former's proportion was not as high as the latter's, it was still enough for him to concentrate on his cultivation for a while.

Marne raised his hand again.
