I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

After she uttered the word, Marne immediately replied:
"Sitting next to you is a person with a white paper on his face. Except for the smiling face on the paper, I can't distinguish and recognize other characteristics of him as a human being. I can only see that he is there. .”

Cao Yan's expression became serious:

"There is no smiling person in my dream, are you sure this is not some hallucination you saw."

Mann replied:
"No, I know very well that he is real, and I also know that there is a person with the same ability in Victor Sanatorium."

Cao Yan also felt that he was not talking nonsense, and his spirit seemed to be fine:
"But I haven't seen or heard of this person, and I can't see the guy you claim to be here now, which means that I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter, but this makes it even more frustrating. I am puzzled...

"Then why am I here?"

She is actually not interested in Marne's questions. When she was still capable, countless poor people who were trapped by various curses or encounters entered her dreams to seek answers, and she also worked hard to answer them. doubts, and provided as much help as possible.

But when she completely lost her power and only her waking consciousness was left in the dream, after hearing the rumors and spending a lot of resources to complete the ceremony, the people who came to her dream with their last hope could only get silence and despair.

She has witnessed countless happiness and tragedies with her own eyes. Even when her power was strong, the dreamer might not be able to get a satisfactory answer. If it was before, she would not have been in the mood to pay attention to Mann's doubts. In fact, she answered the question only because Boring, but the current situation is also very special to her.

Marne didn't seem to enter here through a ritual, and it's not worth doing that in this day and age, and he had had intersection and contact with himself in reality before, as if something else had led him here.

The question is, what caused him to see himself?
Is it Shen Xiao? She can indeed establish a dream ceremony in advance and guide it into it. Although Ma En claims that the machine is definitely not a magical ceremony, he may not be able to understand the ritual of Guramar, but this is not reasonable.

It is useless for him to appear here. She no longer has any magic power, and has lost the knowledge that can affect the world, let alone the wisdom to solve problems. Even if Ma En explained the dilemma he faced, she could not give any useful suggestions.

It's more like accidentally straying into his own dream, which is more in line with the current situation. This is just a coincidence, without any deep reason, otherwise I must be able to do something about his confusion.

At this time, Mann asked again:
"You said this is your dream, but you can't see his existence at all, and I have seen the other people who appeared. Normally, people who enter your dream will bring these things?"

Cao Yan blinked:

"Although my memory of this spell is already a little fuzzy, you reminded me that this scene doesn't just seem to be pieced together from the materials of my memory, it's more like you and my memory. in common.

...

"Normally, my dream would be more bizarre, and the materials that make it up will be all kinds of scenes in my long years, but this time it is this activity room that appears in front of me. We will only be here Because this is our common memory.

"It's really amazing. I've never encountered this kind of thing before. You know, although I haven't always provided help through dreams, it's been quite a long time for you. This is obviously not a pure coincidence , otherwise I would have encountered it long ago.

"That is to say, there is a reason for our encounter, but now you and I have no way of knowing what the reason is. No matter how you look at it, I can't have any influence on the problems you are facing. Is it possible...

"Is there anything you can do to help me?"

Mann asked curiously:
"Do you want to be freed from this curse?"

Cao Yan was a little surprised by his question, and he said it as if he had a way to deal with the curse that trapped him.

"Do you really know how strong this thing is?" She asked with some doubts, "Shen Xiao may already be the strongest human being you know, but even if she said this, I wouldn't feel that she It's really possible.

"Actually, Shen Xiao can break this curse in theory. Her power characteristics determine her potential. The prophecy can lead her to find the answer, but she still can't destroy this magic. Do you know why?

"Because she's too weak."

Ma En raised his eyebrows slightly, he had never heard anyone comment on Shen Xiao like that.

Cao Yan said:

"Yes, I'm not looking down on her. Shenxiao is very strong and talented. I don't know if she can be regarded as the strongest human being in this era, but I can guarantee that as long as she doesn't die, she is destined to reach that stage. Go, she will make the legend and history of your era.

"But she is still too weak compared to me in the past. I am the ruler of the Gurama Empire who cast this spell, and the second strongest magician among living humans in that era. In principle, it is impossible to destroy it.

"Shen Xiao can see a way to break it by force, but her soul and head can't hold that much information.

"This spell has carried me a long time, and it will carry me a hundred times as long.

"In fact, I don't want to die just like that. I said that I have considered suicide, but those are the moments when my emotions are extremely extreme and low. When I calm down, I will not end my life.

"The liberation I want is not to stop reincarnation, but to get back my power, knowledge and memory. This is theoretically possible, but I'm afraid this is not something that any creature in your era can challenge, even Shen Xiao. Same.

"I cast this spell on myself, you should realize how greedy and arrogant I am when you hear it, I refused death in my wisdom and strength, and did it for my future self Decide.

"I will choose to believe in the wisest self."

Mann replied:
"If you say that, then I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help you."

...

This also made the two of them fall into contemplation at the same time. If so, why did they appear here? Although the effect of this meeting may not be directly caused by Shen Xiao, it may also be the result of her deliberate guidance.

This doesn't answer the question of why they "could" meet, but it might answer the question of why they should.

Ma En's original thought was that Shen Xiao wanted to use Cao Yan to retrieve her memory, but according to her, the reincarnation of the king of Gurama seems to have almost no abnormal power at all, and he can't even see it. The Smiley Man exists, and she also feels that she has no way to help him.

Cao Yan's thinking was slightly different from his, and she also suspected that it was guided by Shen Xiao, and she felt that the purpose of Shen Xiao's doing this was probably not for this moment, but to lay some foreshadowing, through this time Meet and change the world in the distant future.

Time is Shenxiao's best ally. Any small change in the present can have an amazing impact through the passage of time. The prophets of the Gurama Empire have also taught her this truth very well. They often look to the future.

But ignoring the present is also the mistake they are most likely to make. "Now" is far closer to them than "past" and "future", and it is also something that can really hurt them, but they don't care about the most dangerous "now".

She suspects that Shenxiao's trap may be the reason. The farsightedness of the prophets is destined to make mistakes that normal people would not make.

But in fact, that may not be a mistake for the prophets. When she feels sorry for those prophets, it is because of their tragedies at the moment, but she cannot see the unfulfilled achievements like them.

It is precisely because of this that her ultimate attitude towards these prophets is not to think and ponder, not to relate to the things in their eyes, and only deal with them when their impact really emerges.

And now she doesn't have the last trouble. Now she can't do anything at all. She can only accept happiness or tragedy. If she and Man can't decide anything in the end, then she will just pretend that she didn't see him. Live the same and continue to live.

She couldn't die anyway.

At this time, Ma En chose to look at Xu Wen and asked:

"Can you introduce him to me?"

Even though they said so much, the smiling man still didn't react at all. Like Cao Yan, he never looked at Ma En, and kept still after he walked in, as if he was not a living thing at all.

When Xu Wen heard this, he continued:

"he is……,……………………………………………………,…………,……………………………………."

Ma En looked at Cao Yan.

Cao Yan also "heard" Xu Wen's answer. When the character in the dream was about to say the name of that thing, the words and words he spit out became blurred and difficult to understand and accept. It is very clear that he did speak.

Feeling this, Cao Yan said:

"I think the meeting between you and me is definitely not a coincidence or an accident, but now we seem to be unable to answer this question. The advice I can give you is to be patient and remember what we said this time...

...

"I believe that when the time is right, this meeting will reveal its true meaning.

"This is also what the prophets like to do. When they want to reveal the future to you, they often don't intend to make you understand immediately. You can only understand what they mean when you are destined.

"This is also my remaining valuable experience."

Speaking of this, Cao Yan thought for a while, and then said:

"Although I can't really help you, I can still provide you with some interesting letters..."

Just when she said this, the smiling person who had been standing still finally moved.

He suddenly stretched out his right hand and pushed Cao Yan beside him. Ma En immediately tried to stop his action through his mind, but only moved other objects around him that shouldn't be affected, as if his mind ignored the smiling man .

His hand touched Cao Yan's body.

The magic king of Gurama disappeared without a trace.

The smiling man turned his head to look at Marne, and then something happened that was completely unexpected by Marne.

The smile on the paper moved:

"You are really tenacious, and you used the undead and... to get here."

Ma En stared at the mouth drawn with a black pen, and said with a heavy heart:
"The Unrememberable?"

The smiley man replied:

“Wrong answer, ……………………………………………………….”

After finishing this blank sentence, he smiled at Marne again:
"Look, I said what you wanted to know, but you couldn't hear it at all, I can understand why you did it, I..., so stop trying to do such stupid things, you are destined to have nothing arrive.

"Do you really think you can recall the past? If you really cared about your past, you shouldn't have..., it's a better choice for you, I really... …”

Man raised his eyebrows and said:

"I can't fully hear your words, but it seems that you are not my enemy."

The smiley man replied:

"It depends on what you want to do. If you want to get back your memory, then I am your enemy, I am..., but if you accept the advice I have given you over and over again, turn around and leave here, I will It's still..."

Mann asked puzzledly:
"So are you the embodiment of the power of the Unmemorable, are you my imagination of the erasure of memory?

"Are you a living thing?"

The black smiling face on the paper trembled, and at the same time there was a giggle:
"What am I? Don't ask that question, it just makes you look stupid.

"You have challenged a powerful enemy, so you should pay the price. You have already got what you want, so naturally you have to pay the corresponding thing. I think all the memories of your previous life are a very reasonable price, and it is not negotiable."

Mann said:

"I have already arrived here, and I firmly believe that I can come back. Since you are in my memory, I should know what kind of power I have, although I still don't know what you are and what you want to do...

"But I'm basically sure that you can't hurt me by yourself.

"No matter what you are, you can't stop me."

The smiling face on the paper sank for a few seconds, as if it was about to get angry, but immediately turned into a smiling face again:
"You're right, I can't do anything to you, but you can't move forward as long as I'm around.

"You did exceed my expectations, and you actually went deep into this place, but I can still expel you, and even erase the traces of your being here, just as we have been doing."

It's just a "trivial" price to pay.

When he said this, Ma En directly attacked again through Nianli, but just like he just blocked his expulsion of Cao Yan, Nianli couldn't realize its existence at all, and directly passed through the hole he was acting on behind him. things.

The smiling man looked at him and said:
"You made a mistake in the past, so now you have to pay the price,  …

"Man, you shouldn't..."

Then darkness came.

The blankness completely submerged him like snow.

With the sound of mechanical operation, the mind-strengthening device suddenly ejected Marne. He staggered and almost fell to the ground before he was fully awake, but he immediately stabilized his body with his thoughts. .

As strong as before.
