I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1107, Section 1102: Reunion (Seeking monthly votes for perfect attendance)

Just as Maren had imagined in his dream, his capture of the gods did indeed have many problems that were difficult to detect. Fortunately, most of these problems could be solved with the guidance of the Heavenly Demon, and the few problems that required years to repair would not have any particularly serious impact.

After all, he had already mastered the God-Capturing Technique and had successfully used it on Serane. Now, as long as he remembered the state of mind when he made the move, he could easily reproduce the attack on Serane.

As he resolved many of the "obvious" details, Ma En became increasingly confident in capturing Serane. In fact, if he didn't need to find the right mindset to use the God-Capturing Technique, he could have waited until the Heavenly Demon resolved these issues before making his move, which would have made the surprise attack more likely to succeed.

Of course, Serane might realize something by then, but that won't affect the final outcome. After all, he's still trapped in his own mind, or in other words, trapped in the Control Bureau.

All he needs to do is regain control of the Bureau of Control and his spiritual power.

Marx and Engels have already paved the way in this regard.

Soon, it was the afternoon of the following day, the time he had arranged to meet Qin Lan.

After finishing his training, he slowly opened his eyes, then got up and walked towards the door, heading straight to Qin Lan's office to keep his appointment.

As he placed his hand on the doorknob, he sensed something ominous.

“It was just a whim,” Tianyao reminded him. “Martial artists trust their intuition. Sometimes your body knows more than you think, but not everyone can hear it.”

Marne naturally pushed open the door.

A little girl was sitting on a bench directly opposite his room door.

He pretended not to see her and turned to walk away.

The best way to deal with Alice now is to keep your distance from her and not give her any opportunity to exert influence. The more unpredictable she is, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for you.

Seeing him like this, Alice immediately jumped off the chair and followed behind him.

However, she didn't immediately come up to him or say anything. She just followed him seemingly naturally, without making any attempt to hide her behavior of stalking him.

Sensing her "following" him, Ma En immediately increased his speed and began to weave through the crowd at a speed and agility that was almost the limit for a normal adult.

At that speed, he obviously couldn't shake Alice off, but an ordinary human girl certainly couldn't keep up with him.

But the girl's footsteps remained close behind him, no matter how much he dodged or hid, they never moved away, as if she were not human at all, but some kind of inescapable ghost.

Seeing this, Ma En didn't go straight to the office, but instead started circling around the entire hospital, as if he wanted to shake her off first.

After walking for more than ten minutes, it was as if Alice had given up. The footsteps behind him gradually grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely.

But his body could clearly feel that something was still following him.

Ma En wandered around the hospital for a few more minutes, then trudged back to Qin Lan's office through a small path, and then pushed open the door as if he could no longer sense her presence.

The moment the door opened, Qin Lan looked up at him, but upon seeing Ma En's eyes, she immediately realized that something seemed amiss, a feeling that made her feel somewhat uneasy.

Are she and Maren really that in sync?
Just as she was wondering if she had misunderstood, Marne said in a somewhat nervous tone:
"Dr. Qin, I think I've encountered a demon."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan didn't question his sudden change of tone, but immediately understood his meaning and cooperatively displayed a worried expression:
"What's wrong?"

Marne walked over and sat down opposite her:
"Do you remember the Alice I mentioned last time? I had some doubts then, but now I'm more certain of my thoughts."

"Didn't she only recently come up from underground to the surface? This actually means she was very dangerous before, and might have been possessed by a demon, right?"

Qin Lan quietly placed the document in her hand under her book and nodded solemnly.

“That’s right, but she should be cured by now…”

Marx and Engels said with a worried expression:
“When we last met, she was saying some strange things to me, and I felt something was wrong. But at the time, I thought she just hadn’t been cured yet. But today, I can’t even imagine what I’m seeing today.”

"When I came out to find you, I saw her standing opposite my door, and when I got up, I heard her follow me."

"She was like some kind of demon trying to scare me, sticking close behind me. I tried with all my might to get rid of her, but I don't know how a little girl like her could do it..."

"She was like a ghost, always following me. No matter where I went, her footsteps never disappeared. I even wondered if I was hallucinating."

"But I think it's more likely that she has a problem. Maybe she wasn't cured at all, and she just deceived the doctors to escape underground."

"Either I'm crazy, or she's a devil."

Qin Lan tapped the table with her pen:
"This is a very serious accusation, and to be honest, I can't make a judgment based on it, but the devil's business does need to be handled carefully, and we must not overlook any potential risks."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"That's what I think too. Actually, I don't know what's going on with her either. Maybe she's just a very agile child, or maybe I misheard her footsteps, but it's always better to be careful."

“I hope you can find some pastors to keep an eye on her, or you can go directly to Pastor Chen. If she can’t get away for the time being, you can ask her to call her friends to help.”

"Moreover, I think she might be plotting something against me. Perhaps she has some connection with the devil who killed my wife back then. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why she would immediately target me."

Hearing this, Qin Lan nodded, but still asked with slight hesitation:

“I can certainly do that, but are you sure you really want to do it? This is no small matter. If they find out there’s no devil there, they might suspect you have some kind of problem.”

As she said this, her hand was already on the phone.

Clearly, her question this time meant something completely different from her words, but it sent a similar signal.

Is it really going to be a fight?
Marx and Engels nodded:

"Yes, I wish someone could watch over her."

Qin Lan picked up the phone and dialed Chen Yun's number.

The call was answered very quickly.

"Pastor Chen, there's something I want to tell you..."

Following the description Maren had just given her, she briefly recounted the situation to Chen Yun, and then made the second request Maren had just made—to find some friends to watch over Alice.

"It's settled." Qin Lan nodded to Ma En. "She agreed. Pastor Chen seems very busy, but it looks like she's having someone close to her handle this..."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"That's enough, she's already gone."

Shortly after the call connected, Alice's presence truly vanished, as if she had suddenly been tainted by something unclean, showing no sign of wanting to linger.

"What happened?" Qin Lan finally regained her composure.

Marne said, "The situation is very similar to what I said; there's something wrong with Alice."

Qin Lan continued:

"But she can't be the only one who's a devil, otherwise you wouldn't need to deal with her. And the church probably isn't exactly your friend."

Marx and Engels nodded:

“She’s not just a devil, she’s definitely got her eye on me. I don’t know if the church can handle her, but I hope this will make her behave a little.”

“You need to be careful these days. The church will probably notice her soon, but if possible, you should also be careful when you are alone.”

Qin Lan nodded, then shook her head:
"I don't know how I could accept this so easily. I hope this thing won't secretly grab me while you're away."

Marx and Engels asked:

"How long do you think it will take for Chen Yun's friends to arrive?"

Qin Lan thought for a moment:
"A few minutes."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"Then there shouldn't be any problem, because she's not that strong, at least not right now."

The fact that Alice was so easily sensed by his martial arts suggests that she is not in danger at the moment, but the fact that she was able to escape underground and gain autonomy also shows that she is definitely not that simple.

"Did you find anything?" Ma En then asked.

Qin Lan pulled out the documents she had just been hiding:

"That's all. To be honest, I didn't find as much information as you just told me."

Mar and Eng took the document and began to look through it.

Most of the content is meaningless, especially the parts from a long time ago. It is basically a rewrite of Alice's real past. Similarly, it mentions the "personality" Lilith. Kania is also a key person in her treatment plan, and Gran is referred to as a kind of devil. This devil disappeared after committing such evil deeds against her.

This is also the situation that Maren is most worried about. If "Gulan" is residing in her body at this moment, it would be quite dangerous. In fact, he has never really defeated this dangerous opponent.

Of course, if the one controlling her is indeed Guran, it's probably not the original one. It could be a terrifying monster created by Alice through the power of reality distortion, so it might not be that difficult to deal with.

But as he looked at it, Mar and Eng dismissed their doubts.

Because in a hidden corner of this document, he found the second document he had requested—the known distribution of wards throughout the entire underground structure.

Next door to her lived a mentally ill woman named Karina.

He was wicked, arrogant, and not very smart.

His impression of Karina immediately and subtly overlapped with that of Alice now.

This kind of reckless and arrogant person, who enjoys tormenting others' minds and takes pride in it, perfectly corresponds to many of Alice's behaviors, such as following behind her for more than ten minutes.

This also explains why she was in Alice's mind.

As a deity, it wouldn't be difficult for her to enter the human mind, and as a dark goddess who enjoys tormenting others in various ways, it's even more normal for her to enter Alice's fragile mind.

Furthermore, although she was tricked by the Cherubim, she was certainly not completely distorted by the new world. She must have retained a considerable amount of memories and power, which is why she was able to find herself.

She wanted to use her own power.

However, she probably didn't realize that she might be fully conscious, and that her judgment was influenced by the rumors of her amnesia, which was clearly not the outcome that Cherubim and she had expected.

Her memories were preserved by something she didn't understand.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be foolish enough to try to take advantage of herself in this way.

Moreover, it seems that Karina is quite aware of her own power, and she will soon realize that her situation is not so simple, and will quickly take other corresponding actions.

He also needed to regain enough power before then to ensure that he would not be threatened by her.

Because Karina is not only a threat to him in terms of power, but also one of the few members of the New World who would have such thoughts, a point that was already evident in the Old World.

After spending more than ten minutes here, Mar and Eng were finally ready to begin the hypnotherapy:
"Today, I want to reclaim the source of my power and take back what is rightfully mine, as well as what I once built."

"And both of these things may require the help of my late wife."

Qin Lan nodded:

“Your conditions are a bit complicated, and I can only try my best to meet them. If the effect is not good, we can try to simplify the conditions and then proceed with the hypnosis.”

Marx and Engels nodded:

"Try it this way first, and adjust it if there are any problems."

After repeatedly confirming the hypnotic target, he lay back down in the original chair, and then Qin Lan began the hypnosis as usual:

"Relax, we're back at...the pond now..."

The words melted into Ma En's consciousness almost instantly, and he fell effortlessly into the old dream created by Qin Lan, returning to the time before he first woke up.

"Hello?" A gentle yet deep female voice sounded in his ear, with a hint of teasing in it. "Are you asleep?"

Ma En opened his eyes.

The black mirror reflects another black mirror.

When he opened his eyes, he didn't see the familiar face of Xiaoti, nor any woman's face, but rather a slightly cold, black, curved mirror and a slightly bulky uniform below it.

It was the spacesuit that the magician had once entered, and which he had also seen in his dreams.

But the one on the other side doesn't seem to be the magician who escaped the fault line.

He himself was also wearing the same spacesuit.

“Little Ti?” Ma En asked tentatively.

The other side fell into a deathly silence.
