I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 902, Section 897

Next, Ma En handed over a collection of popular science books, which included excerpts from several popular science books that he considered valuable, and at the end, he also included a small amount of content from "Martial Arts".

“These are excerpts from several books I found,” he explained.

Li Hongyu took the book and continued to read it.

This time, after only two glances, her expression became serious, even more so than when she was looking at the Heavenly Hand. Her reading speed also slowed down noticeably.

“Not simple…” she murmured.

It took her a long time to turn to the second page, but after looking at it for several minutes, she opened the book again and began to read the contents once more.

"That's amazing." She exclaimed unconsciously, then looked up at Ma En, "Do you know who wrote this book? This guy's martial arts skills are unparalleled."

"To be honest, when I first saw that book, 'The Heavenly Hand,' I was a little dismissive of it. Although the author's skill level is indeed far superior to mine, I still believe that I can create a martial art that is no worse than his."

"But I can only feel strong admiration and respect for the author of this book. He made me realize that the ocean of martial arts is far wider than I knew, and he showed me a towering peak that I could only look up to."

"If this martial artist has any martial arts, I think I would be willing to submit and learn them, and the martial arts he creates could also help me enter the Innate Realm more quickly."

Do you have such martial arts?

She stared intently at Ma En and asked.

Marx and Engels shook their heads:

"Not yet, and I can't say for sure who its author is. From the information we've gathered about the past, it seems this manual was published by an organization called the Eastern Federation Martial Arts Association."

"And the God Fist I mentioned last time is the leader of this organization, so this could be a work created by God Fist or him and other martial artists."

"However, at the very end of this book, there is a passage that can definitely be identified as a work created by God Fist, in which he expounds his understanding of martial arts, and the title is very straightforward: 'Martial Arts'."

Li Hongyu nodded:
"If you can find his martial arts manual, you can bring it to me and we can discuss the specific conditions."

After saying that, she immediately lowered her head and buried herself back into the book, diligently absorbing its contents.

It took Li Hongyu more than ten minutes to finish reading the first few pages, and when she turned to the next page, she showed a dazed and somewhat empty expression:
"Gone?"

Marx and Engels replied:
"That concludes this excerpt. There are excerpts from three other books, as well as the martial arts specially created by the Divine Fist that I just told you about, which is the main focus here."

"However, I must warn you that this book on martial arts is quite difficult to understand."

Hearing this, Li Hongyu was still a little unsatisfied, but she calmed down and continued reading. Moreover, after hearing what Ma En said, her expression became even more expectant.

The next three paragraphs kept Li Hongyu extremely excited. She would even put down the book and walk to the side to test some new ideas.

After a long period of time, she finally turned to the page on martial arts with great joy and anticipation, and began to study it with complete concentration.

But as she continued reading, the joy on her face slowly turned into doubt and confusion, and her expectant eyes were covered by her furrowed brows. She seemed to have some doubts about herself and the book in her hands. She also sped up her reading speed and then slowly read it several more times.

Finally, she looked up at Marne, her eyes slightly bewildered, and said:

"Are you sure?"

Ma En nodded: "Don't worry, it's normal not to understand it. I can assure you that this book is like that. Not only did I not understand it at all, but it is said that even many innate martial artists have difficulty comprehending anything from it."

"But in the past, there were occasional martial artists who would suddenly have an epiphany and then quickly break through the martial arts realm by relying on what they learned from this book, and might even reach the Innate Realm."

"So it's okay if you can't grasp anything."

Li Hongyu looked at Ma En suspiciously:

"You didn't lie to me."

Marx and Engels answered directly:
"I can sign a contract with you."

Hearing him say that, Li Hongyu stopped questioning him and instead focused on reading the passage carefully again. Seeing how engrossed she was, Ma En didn't disturb her but went out to practice the martial arts that Li Hongyu had taught him.

There has been no progress.

Ma En had already tried, and even though he had mastered a lot of the martial arts from the past, he made no progress when he practiced the martial arts that Li Hongyu had taught him again.

Whether in memory or now.

It was as if he had some kind of barrier between himself and these surviving martial arts, so much so that no matter what he did, he could never truly touch them.

But this at least shows that my current situation is caused by a fault line.

After practicing for several hours, Li Hongyu finally came out carrying the book, her eyes looking quite serious and solemn.

"I still don't understand it." She said this with some hesitation. "I might need to spend some time reading this passage again. If I figure something out, I'll tell you."

Although she claimed she didn't understand it, this passage revealed that she seemed to have sensed something.

Marx and Engels also asked directly:
How do you feel?

Li Hongyu said uncertainly:
"I don't know, but you're right. The author of this book must be quite remarkable. After reading it, I'm certain that there's more to it than meets the eye. It's just that my head is a little dizzy right now."

"Also, the author of this book might not be the same person as the previous ones..."

She paused here:
"However, this is just my intuition, and this judgment may not be particularly accurate. After all, I am not even clear about what this content is about, and it is difficult to say what the situation of death is."

"If they are by the same author, then it means he used different ways of expressing himself."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"Okay, now that you've finished reading these books..."

Li Hongyu answered without hesitation:

"Besides martial arts, you have four books here, right? If these books are all complete, each book can be exchanged for me to actually help you once. I'm not talking about helping out or doing things for you."

"As long as it's not a situation where I'm certain to die, I can help you. Although I can't guarantee that I can perfectly achieve your goals, I will do my best to complete any task without killing myself."

"In other words, as long as it's not something completely impossible like asking me to challenge Shenxiao or infiltrate the Federation to rescue Shenxiao, I will do my best to help you."
