I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 880, Section 875: The Ghost Catcher
Looking at Marne, who had transformed into a mental giant, the woman silently shut her mouth. She clearly realized that she had chosen the wrong prey. She knew very well that there were many people with abilities in this world, but most of them would also fall into her trap.

Only those with psychic abilities can be completely unafraid of her, especially those with psychic abilities of this level.

She whispered fearfully:

"I'm just a wandering ghost, I have no idea who you are?"

Marx and Engels looked thoughtful:
Were you a psychic before?

The female ghost shook her head timidly:
"No, I'm just an ordinary person..."

Marx and Engels suddenly realized a problem at that moment:
"You said you're just an ordinary wandering ghost, which means people become ghosts after they die? Is this kind of thing common in your understanding?"

My memories are starting to become slightly unstable, and the mind-reversing medicine is starting to wear off faster.

The female ghost looked at the giant with some doubt, but still nodded:

"Yes, but I've eaten all the other wandering ghosts in the vicinity. If you want to find other ghosts, I can show you the way."

Marx and Engels then asked:

"So no one tried to stop you from killing? How many people have you killed in total? Don't lie, or I'll chop your head off."

A surge of malice and hatred welled up uncontrollably in the female ghost's eyes again. She twisted her body, trying to break free from Ma En's control, but after realizing that she still couldn't escape, fear once again took hold of her heart.

She curled up again:
"I don't remember how many I killed, but I killed several guys who tried to capture me, and I managed to hide from others."

Marx and Engels then questioned him further:
"Who is it that wants to capture you?"

A ghostly green light flashed in the female ghost's eyes:
“There were monks, Taoists, and people from the Federation. I didn’t recognize the others. There was a guy from the Western Federation with a few hunting dogs, but I gutted them all.”

As she spoke, the female ghost seemed to recall a happy moment, and a smile appeared on her face.

The instability of memory is becoming increasingly apparent.

Marx and Engels brought her before them:

"So what made you a ghost?"

The female ghost's expression suddenly became incredibly terrifying and ferocious. Maren couldn't understand how she could make such a wide range of expressions with that rotten face.

"That little bitch! Acid! She actually dared to throw it on me! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill her!"

As she continued to repeat her incantation-like words, the female ghost began to struggle and writhe. Ma En immediately sent her strong signals of calm, trying to calm her increasingly frantic mind.

The cold water slowed her struggling movements slightly, but it did not completely calm her emotions. She continued to repeat the curses as if she were insane.

Ma'en tried to bring her mental power slightly closer to her head.

Then he felt an intense, chaotic hatred, and even before entering it, he could sense that the creature's mind was already shattered; it had a mental structure completely different from that of humans.

This seems to have something in common with the Yin-Yang Twins of that time.

This is why Marx and Engels repeatedly asked these questions.

Because he suddenly realized that although the Yin-Yang Twins claimed to be some kind of ghost or monster, in reality such things should only exist in legends, and at least no other ghosts exist.

If many ghosts existed in the past, it suggests that this was some kind of martial art, likely an experiment in the realm of the supernatural in the past, but which has since disappeared. Furthermore, ghosts are different from other types of monsters or other anomalous creatures.

Because they are products of human death, this means that if there is a mechanism in this world where humans become ghosts when they die under certain circumstances—such as dying with hatred.

Logically, as long as this mechanism is working, new monsters will continue to be generated.

This means that this mechanism was abolished before the fault line appeared, and almost all other ghosts disappeared before the fault line appeared. At least the only known survivors should be the Yin-Yang Twins.

These two ghosts didn't really resemble the legendary ghosts, or rather, they didn't quite match Maren's subconscious feelings about these creatures; in this respect, they were far inferior to the female ghost in front of him.

The close alignment between the female ghost and the legend suggests that these legends are likely not baseless rumors, but rather precise descriptions of these special creatures, only slightly deviated from their original meaning due to the emergence of a fault line.

This leads to a very important question.

If the ghosts and the mechanisms that generate them are destroyed, or if they enter a state of self-forgetfulness, then how did the Yin-Yang Twins overcome the rift?
That's right, they were probably much stronger in the past than they are now, but they were definitely weaker than Shenxiao.

He had already experienced Shenxiao's strength. Although that might not have been Shenxiao's ultimate form, she was probably not in her early stages at that time. The Yin-Yang Twins probably wouldn't be particularly strong in the end.

The senior brother, who was clearly rank VI, and the current strongest five members of the Terror Five did not survive the gap.

The situation with the Yin-Yang Twins is probably much more complicated than he imagined.

While Maren was pondering, the female ghost finally calmed down and returned to the cold "reality" of being captured by Maren, ceasing her attempts to struggle once more.

Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels then asked:

Have you ever heard of the Yin-Yang Twins?

The female ghost looked puzzled.

"what?"

Maren then said:

“They are your kind, siblings the same age as a boy and a girl. Haven’t you seen them before?”

The female ghost shook her head:

"I haven't heard of them, but I don't know much about other ghosts either. I might have heard of the most famous ghost kings, but I only know the names of a few ghost kings."

"True Demon, Heavenly Emperor, Green Maiden..."

Seeing that she couldn't say anything either, Mar and Eng turned to ask:
"Also, where is this place? Did you create this?"

My memory jolted violently a few times.

If he had only used a single drug, his memory would probably have collapsed by the time he got to this point. But thanks to the use of multiple drugs, he was able to delve deeper into this question.

The woman said with some surprise:
"Don't you know? This is the realm of no light. As long as you sincerely submit to the Lord of Darkness, you can receive His protection to enter this place. And ghosts like us can also freely come and go from this place."

Marx and Engels asked:

"Do you know the name of this Lord of Darkness? Is it Karina or something...?"

The female ghost suddenly showed a look of terror.
