I created the Anomaly Control Bureau

Chapter 965, page 960: "The Four Great Masters"

There was no need to ask this question; he could simply stay there patiently and soon find out the answer. However, Marne was facing other problems at the moment.

Should he actually talk to Serane?

There's no doubt that Seran will accept communication with me, and he might even offer help after realizing certain circumstances, willing to cooperate and provide information from the past.

It's also possible that he might do something that's almost tantamount to killing himself.

Maren was almost certain that Seran was capable of killing him. If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal, since he could deter Seran in some way. As long as Seran realized that this would lead to their mutual destruction, that would be enough.

But there is an even worse possibility.

Perhaps Serane possesses some extremely subtle informational anomalies, enabling him to accomplish even more complex tasks.

For example, Serahn could manipulate his actions, release him and transfer control to him, or become his slave for eternity—Serahn might be capable of such things.

In this respect, he is more dangerous than most of the extraordinary powerhouses today, after all, he is a powerhouse from ancient times, and the magic and knowledge he now possesses are certainly far greater than those of Serane today.

This should also be outside the boundaries of one's own memory.

In other words, one could actually be subjected to the most terrible attacks here.

Upon realizing this, Ma En immediately abandoned the idea of ​​communicating with Seran. He didn't know what Seran would do now that he realized "himself" was just a phantom in his memory, nor did he intend to know.

At the same time, he began to modify his memories of Seran within his own mind to ensure that even if Seran read his mind, it would not cause any particularly serious consequences.

He also prepared a conditional trigger mechanism to immediately exit the memory if his mind was invaded, in order to ensure that he would not actually die unexpectedly in such a place.

After speaking with the deities, Seran then looked toward Marn's location, or more accurately, at the group of people who were subtly centered around him.

Standing to the left front of Ma En is a woman wearing glasses. The most eye-catching feature of her is her wrists. She wears watches on both hands, and two watches on her left wrist.

In addition, she wore different timekeeping devices on other parts of her body, such as four pocket watches of different materials and shapes hanging around her neck. She also had many special small pockets on her body, all of which looked just big enough to hold the pocket watches.

Standing to the right of Ma En was an extremely thin man with a very ordinary face. If it weren't for the long sword at his waist, he would look like an ordinary person who had wandered into this place by mistake.

Musha?
But in Maren's eyes, he was almost an ordinary person, and not just someone who had nothing, but rather the kind of ordinary person who hadn't had much exposure to martial arts, if he were a martial artist...

He is probably a very powerful martial artist.

Behind him on either side stood two figures that didn't quite look human.

Standing to his left rear was a girl who looked somewhat "blurry"—her form and appearance were indistinct and in a constant state of flux. This flux was neither a distortion of flesh nor a transformation like magical mist; it was a kind of coherent change that was not unnatural at all.

In the blink of an eye, the girl had two pigtails. Then Ma En realized that her face had changed without him noticing, but he couldn't remember when these changes had happened or any specific details.

She could recognize that only she had changed, but she couldn't recall the process of those changes, as if they had already ended before they even happened.

Although curious, Ma En forced himself to look away to avoid appearing too strange, since no one around him seemed surprised by the shapeless little girl; they were clearly used to it.

But when Mar and Eng really looked away, a strange doubt arose in their hearts.

Is she still there? He had a completely unnatural feeling, as if the girl didn't exist around him when he wasn't looking over, as if she only existed in his mind.

This feeling reminded him of Serena, but even Serena was more real than her.

Compared to her, the last member looked much more ordinary, and didn't even look like someone from before the fault line. Instead, he thought they were the kind of people he could easily find after the fault line.

He was a rather old-looking devil.

Although he was called a demon, apart from his blood-red skin and the two goat horns on his head, the old man didn't look particularly special, except for his unusually bright eyes.

It's as bright as a mirror.

When Marne looked at him, he looked back at her.

It's like staring into your own eyes.

Ma En looked away again, and at that moment, Seran walked up to them. As he got closer to Ma En and the others, the anger on his face began to soften, and he even smiled a little.

Then, Seran walked straight up to Marne and smiled at him:

"May I ask what your name is...?"

Marx paused, then answered briefly:
Just call me Maren.

No one around him showed any surprise at his answer. Although he had other memory fragments, he had never tried to say a different name in front of someone who "knew" him.

It now seems that people outside of memory would naturally accept their "pseudonym" without realizing any problems.

Seran nodded quite naturally, then said gently to him:
"It is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for coming. Please also convey my deepest respect and gratitude to His Excellency the Forgeman, the oldest ally of the sun, the eternal guest of the gods, the mother of the empire, the creator of prisons, the most beautiful fairy, the greatest craftsman, the protector of sapiens, and my own friend."

"I will not forget this assistance; she will get what she wants."

Marx and Engels nodded:

"Yes, I will convey your gratitude to her."

So, are they the Forgers, or were they sent by the Terror Five?

However, the builder was indeed a fairy. He had his suspicions when he saw the statue, but no matter what, this guy had a lot of titles.

No wonder he lived from Gurama to before the fault line.

Seeing that Ma En didn't seem to have anything to say, the woman with glasses walked over and stood beside him, looking at Sera En with a calm expression, and said:
"It's good that you remember, but the important thing is to deal with our common enemy."

Serane nodded, then looked at the old demon standing behind him:
“You’re absolutely right, Wuyin, and the other friends…”

The woman called Boundless glanced at Marne, and seeing that he was still standing there in a daze, she could only say naturally:

"I probably don't need to introduce Li Si, right? The girl's name is Yu, but she won't respond if you call her. To communicate with her, you have to wear special equipment. Finally, the demon who helps you catch the spy is called the Prophet..."

"He is a disciple of the Divine Eye."
