I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 1156, Section 1151: "The Invincible"

Her attire was almost identical to what it was back then: a dark red monster head and a classic oriental robe, making her look like a half-transformed monster. Moreover, she appeared without any warning whatsoever.

Even Ma En wondered if she had just been daydreaming, and she had teleported here during that non-existent "daydreaming gap," without even the speedster Qin Lan reacting.

Almost simultaneously with her appearance, she pried open the cabinet door.

boom!
Blood splattered out like tomato sauce. When Ma En could see the scene clearly again, Shen Xiao's right fist was completely stained red, and her gaze fell on the group of them.

Faced with such a living monster, Qin Lan's expression was somewhat distorted. Ma En could see a hint of inexplicable fear and worry in her eyes, but it didn't seem like she was worried about her own life.

She glanced at her enemy across the way only twice before casting her gaze at Ma En and his group, her eyes seemingly concealing extremely complex emotions. And it was at the very moment that gaze appeared…

Six figures appeared simultaneously from different directions, and the atmosphere in the entire space instantly became incredibly heavy. Even before seeing them, Ma En sensed the aura of two innate martial artists; one had his hands empty, and the other had a long staff draped over his shoulder.

The other creatures were clearly not ordinary humans either. The most conspicuous was a rather complex-looking robot, an old man holding a staff, a strong tiger-man, and a burning figure.

Although he couldn't see his face, Maren immediately recognized him.

Serane.

As they appeared, the world around them underwent various changes. The sun, which had been hanging obliquely in the sky, appeared directly overhead, looking several times larger than before. Complex magical patterns began to appear in mid-air, and the air around the two warriors distorted.

"Surrender!" a stern warning emanated from the robot's chest. "It's not too late to surrender now."

Moreover, as he spoke, a blue light surged from his body, flowing into the space around him and rapidly spreading outwards. The surrounding scenery quickly became as if filtered through a blue lens, completely immersed in what he released.

“You can’t escape,” said the old man holding the staff. “We have already laid a trap, and your appearance was expected, but we still intend to give you one last chance.”

"As long as you confess your true purpose and surrender to us, we will let you live, and we might even offer you a job..."

While they were talking to Shenxiao, Ma En was also rapidly turning his eyes, trying to find clues and traces of Luo Yu, but not only was it completely out of sight, but his watch also showed that it was not around him. Obviously, it was not on the people who were surrounding him either.

Could it be that Xiaoti has made a mistake?
Looking at the scene before him, Ma En felt that he didn't have much time left to stay here. If he was killed in the dream, he would be severely corrupted and wouldn't be able to come back without resting for a few days.

Even if Shenxiao doesn't indiscriminately kill innocent people, he might still be killed by the aftermath caused by others.

"I'm sorry." Qin Lan noticed his eyes and thought he was panicking. "I did think they might do that. You can find a safe place to hide for a while."

"But this place has been completely sealed off. We can't escape until this is over. Not only can we not use teleportation, but we can't escape by any other means of movement."

Both Three-Eyed and Chaotic Swords looked somewhat flustered, with the former even asking directly:
"What do you mean? What do you mean you thought they might do that?"

Qin Lan looked at Shenxiao floating in the air:

"The Federation really wants to catch this guy. I don't think they can really remain completely indifferent. And it's impossible for our newly formed investigation team to actually capture Shenxiao, so I've been thinking about this for a long time..."

"Perhaps we are just bait."

This also answered Ma En's doubts. If they were just bait, then the team's somewhat unreliable nature was understandable.

"...What? Speechless?" Seran also spoke up, "When you laid a hand on my people, you should have realized this day would come. Do you really think no one in this world can stop you?"

"Today..." a hoarse voice came from beneath the monster mask, "I will kill four."

Boom!

The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.

The whole world crumbled before Marne's eyes. Something terrible happened. Shenxiao's figure disappeared from where he had just been, and all six figures except the mage vanished.

The battle was taking place right in front of him, but he couldn't see anything.

The entire earth trembled like a wounded beast, and the sky, filtered through a blue lens, began to twist and spin, as if they were not on land, but in a terrifying whirlpool in the ocean.

Seeing this, he immediately used his mental power to lift himself up and then prepared to fly away into the distance, but before he could fly very far, he felt himself being hit by something.

But he did not resist, because the sudden and rapid change in his surroundings made him realize that he was being pushed by something.

When he stopped again, the situation around him was much better than before. Although the ground was still shaking violently, the vortex in the sky was obviously much farther away than before.

And he saw the figures of Chaotic Sword and Three-Eyed again.

The boy's face was deathly pale, and there was fresh blood on his clothes. The three-eyed man's entire lower body had disappeared, and the cut surface exposed the internal mechanical structure.

Qin Lan was holding him:
"Darent just roared, and we'll all die if we stay where we are. Sorry."

The reason she apologized was because of the speed at which the attack had just occurred. Although Ma En did not show any signs of fatigue at the moment, he could feel that his body was in turmoil and he had even suffered serious internal injuries.

If he hadn't mastered the Immortal Law, he might be lying here resting right now.

Qin Lan continued to explain:
"This is already on the edge of the blockade zone. You can try to hide, but to be honest, it won't make much of a difference. This size of battlefield is too small for them."

"All we can do now is leave it to fate. Although I can try to get you out of the aftermath, even I might not be fast enough in this situation."

"I'm afraid I can't save all of you..."

Suddenly, she showed a look of horror and turned to look in the direction she came from, but as soon as she showed that expression, she seemed to be frozen in place.

The burning fireball stopped in front of them like a falling meteorite.

That was Seran's figure, and Shenxiao was currently grabbing his face with his right hand, seemingly trying to press him down into the ground. This was the first time Ma'en had seen Shenxiao clearly in the midst of the battle.

But this wasn't because Shenxiao's movements had slowed down; rather, it was because she and Qin Lan, like statues, were frozen in mid-air. Not only her, but also Serane, Luanjian, and Sanyan were all frozen in mid-air.

Even in the distant, distorted sky, two black dots that Marne had just been unable to see reappeared. Flying pebbles, trembling earth, and rising flames…

They were all frozen in place.

Then, something appeared before his eyes. The way it appeared made Ma En feel extremely uncomfortable and strange. Although it appeared out of thin air, Ma En instinctively did not think it was teleportation.

Even Marne didn't realize that it was him standing in front of him.

This feeling is somewhat similar to when Shenxiao appeared, but it is countless times stronger than that time.

It was more like they had appeared in front of each other.

The thing looked very strange. It had a basic human shape, but it was made of colorful light, and its body was constantly flowing, but the way it flowed was also unsettling.

He appeared right between Shenxiao and Seran, and he ignored the arrogant King of Gods, facing Shenxiao directly. Clearly, he had come for her.

But after looking at him for a moment, the guy turned around and looked at himself.

"What are you doing here?" he asked again.

At this moment, Marx suddenly remembered that he had heard those words the instant Shenxiao appeared. This feeling instantly plunged him into a severe dizziness, because he clearly remembered hearing his question, yet he clearly did not remember hearing his question...

That guy was already there.

Marx and Engels remembered it again.

This guy was right next to Shenxiao at the time.

The memory of fighting made Maren feel dizzy. This feeling was unlike a mind invasion, and it was unlike any other cognitive harm he had ever encountered. He had no idea what he remembered...

These memories intruded into his consciousness like uninvited guests.

"What's wrong with you?" the other person asked again. "And weren't you on the ground? Wait, let me ask her what happened..."

Although he seemed to have only heard the other person say those words once, Ma En felt that he had remembered several identical questions in his mind, as if his memory was playing out multiple times.

Suddenly, the watch flashed a yellow light.

Wait, there should still be a lot left on the progress bar... Really? According to the time...

"I see." The colorful light emanating from the creature suddenly dimmed slightly, then it floated directly in front of Marne. "It's alright, you've explained it clearly enough, no need to say anything more..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, the conversation is over. You might be a little disoriented right now, since you seem to be in a bad state. I don't know what's going on either. Can you jump through time?"
"But don't worry, you've already told me everything, and Divine Eye has also told me what to do. She's found the things for you, and she asked me to tell you..."

"according to……"

At this point, the other person paused slightly, looking a little awkward, but continued speaking:
"According to Xiao Ti's arrangement, you should find the Death of God next time. What do you need that thing for? But you may have to be a little prepared, because the enemy has already begun to counterattack."

"Also, Divine Eye told you not to worry about her situation. She just fell to the other side of the world. What? When did you go to the other side? Is it sometime in the future? Okay, okay, let's not waste time. Divine Eye said she fell to the other side of the world and needs to take care of some other things there."

"I really don't understand what these prophets are doing, and we clearly have all the time in the world. If I wanted, we could stay here until the end of the world. I really don't understand what she's in such a hurry for..."

"Take it, she delivered the things."

After saying this, Marx and Eng realized that they had already gripped the feather tightly.

When did it happen……

"Goodbye, I still have to take her back." With that, Eternal waved to him naturally and turned to look at Shenxiao again. As he did so, Ma En felt everything around him moving away from him, and the world became blurry. "Their time is running out."

Snapped.

He felt as if he had been thrown out, and landed heavily back on the sofa in reality.

"What happened?" Qin Lan asked, looking at him.

"Hey, hey, can you hear me?" Eternal stood next to Shenxiao and greeted him.

It was only then that Ma En remembered that when Shenxiao appeared, the other party was standing next to her and greeting her. Even though he had left the dream, this memory was still formed in his mind.

It wasn't his memory that was disordered.

It's time.

“It’s nothing,” Ma En waved his hand, “but I need to rest for a while.”

That guy's identity is obviously Eternal. After all, apart from this time-manipulation user, there shouldn't be anyone else who could freeze Shenxiao and the other powerful figures around him at the same time, let alone the time distortion he experienced in his brain.

Moreover, the tone of his voice was quite intriguing.

At first, or rather, at last, when he greeted himself, his tone was as if he had run into an acquaintance on the street.

Ok?
Just as Ma En was trying to understand what had just happened, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps. Upon seeing this, Ma En immediately used the Control Bureau to send a message to Qin Lan, telling her to prepare herself mentally.

Snapped!
Qin Lan's office door was suddenly pushed open, and then he saw the counterbalancer leading several priests in. The ones who came in the fastest pushed Qin Lan down and dragged her out without saying a word.

The balancer stepped forward, looking solemnly at the bewildered patient:
“We found that your attending physician had many violations, and we also discovered that your condition was more serious than we thought. I don’t know if you are aware of this, but she falsified and concealed your condition.”

"Now we have to transfer you to the underground ward. I hope you won't resist. If you're okay, you'll be out soon. And if you are truly possessed, we will cure you."

"Did you understand?"

Marx and Engels nodded, looking completely ignorant.
"what?"
