I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1154, page 1149: The Serial Killer
He can now focus all his energy on finding the containment object, and if he can successfully retrieve the Fallen Feather and the Death of God this time, he can begin preparations to go underground.

The question is, what is the relationship between this dream and the falling feathers?
Encountering Qin Lan in a dream isn't unusual, since she was once Shenxiao's sister. The real issue is that this small team led by Qin Lan is about to investigate Shenxiao's intentions.

Maren once suspected that the masked Shenxiao and Qin Luan, the Federation Iron Fist, were two different entities, but later contact proved that the Federation Iron Fist was not as others thought, only good at hand-to-hand combat.

At least during our last meeting, she already possessed the ability to predict the future.

Of course, there may be a timeline issue here, but Qin Luan looked quite young at the time, so Ma En is more inclined to believe that she had been hiding her abilities from the beginning.

Shenxiao might be her second identity.

Even with these deductions, they didn't offer any concrete help in his search for Luo Yu. Based solely on this information, he found it difficult to deduce any connection between it and Luo Yu, but that didn't really matter.

Anyway, he still has his all-powerful watch.

After a brief introduction, the group remained silent for a moment. Qin Lan took out her phone as if reading some information, while San Yan closed her eyes to rest, and Luan Jian followed suit and began to meditate.

But this silence didn't last long, because soon Luan Jian couldn't hold back any longer. He quietly opened his left eye and glanced at Qin Lan, then opened both eyes and looked at Ma En:

Have you participated in missions like this before?

Marx and Engels pointed to their heads:

I'm not sure.

Seeing that he was willing to answer, the boy immediately became interested:
"Do you know what kind of person Shenxiao is that we're investigating? I heard she's a super serial killer who has killed many high-ranking federal politicians."

“Actually, if she only killed federal politicians, I don’t think it would be a big problem. After all, we martial artists have often taken action against federal politicians before. But this girl seems to be a bit crazy. She will come and kill anyone, no matter who they are. She has killed many respected seniors in our martial arts world. Did you know that?”

Although he didn't leave much room for pauses in his speech, and didn't seem to genuinely expect Maren to answer, he paused at this point and gave him a questioning look.

Mar and Eng frowned:

"I think I've heard of it before."

Faced with his ambiguous answer, Luan Jian showed no reaction. He didn't give Ma En time to explain his thoughts and immediately continued:
"Moreover, she killed all sorts of people, from federal politicians, martial arts masters, demons from hell, legendary fairies, prison members, and even ordinary people with no abilities."

"To be honest, it was like she was killing randomly without any purpose, like a serial killer with some kind of weird fetish. We couldn't deduce the killer from the victims or their social relationships..."

Marx and Engels interrupted the other person thoughtfully:
"Because their motives for killing are quite private, unless you understand their quirks, you would definitely think they are killing randomly. If their quirks are height, gender or something, it's easier to deduce."

"But if it's something that normal people wouldn't notice, then it might be difficult for ordinary people to find out the real motive of these killers. But if Shenxiao is in a similar situation, then it's easy to explain..."

"She probably has some kind of 'quirk' similar to a serial killer, which is why we thought she was killing randomly, but it's very likely that her motive is just hard to detect." "Wow," the boy said, stunned. "What you said makes so much sense. How come I didn't think of that?"

Ma En's eyebrows twitched slightly. He hadn't expected the other party to show such a surprised expression. Wasn't this very speculation something Luan Jian had just said? He had only summarized it briefly.

For him, such a deduction was not difficult to arrive at, since he already had the answer. Her random killings might be strange to others, but it was different for the prophet.

She was probably just killing people who "deserved to die".

If her purpose in killing was to save the world, then it would be almost impossible to deduce a pattern from these deaths, so everyone would think she was killing randomly.

Ma En didn't know if any prophets could have sensed this before the fault occurred, but even if they had, they might not have told non-prophets, not because Shenxiao might be saving the world.

Instead, Shenxiao is likely to take corresponding preventative measures, such as killing all the leakers. With such preparation, no prophet will easily reveal the secret.

Even if a few prophets were truly confident enough to do so, they would probably help to cover it up, since no one in the world could understand Shenxiao's actions better than them.

As he said this, Qin Lan and San Yan also looked over, clearly having noticed the assumption that Ma En had just made.

“That makes a lot of sense,” Qin Lan calmly assessed. “I even think it’s very likely the truth. It seems there’s a reason they sent you to participate in the investigation. Our next plan can proceed based on your assumptions.”

“It’s just a possibility.” Three-Eyed seemed somewhat unconvinced. “Anyone can easily figure out something this simple. The real difficulty lies in what her so-called quirk is.”

"If we don't understand this, we can't make any progress at all, and this isn't something that can be figured out in a few words; it requires a sufficient sample of data for analysis."

Hearing his words, Qin Lan also spoke up somewhat preemptively:

"Hmm, what you said makes sense. Let's assess the situation once we get there."

Although she spoke in a natural tone, Ma En sensed a hint of coaxing a child in her voice. Neither San Yan nor Luan Jian were clearly very mature.

Not to mention the Three-Eyed One who always wants to prove himself, the boy known as Chaotic Sword looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, and considering his identity as a martial artist, he might even be younger.

Of course, martial artists certainly have ways to maintain their youthful appearance, but clearly this is not the case for Luan Jian; at least his mentality matches his current appearance.

This also suggests that the Federation before the fault line was still not a good thing, which further confirms his conjecture about what Shenxiao did; perhaps her killings were part of saving the world.

Marx and Engels suddenly noticed a detail:
"By the way, you just mentioned that she killed a demon from hell..."

"Did she kill an angel?"

I only slept for four hours yesterday, I feel dizzy.
