Anna thought her emotions would fluctuate more after her current situation, but unexpectedly, she didn't.
"Was my previous actions too aggressive? If I had been a little more low-key and disguised myself as someone from the surface since I came here, would I have avoided attracting the attention of these guys?"
Anna began to review the situation in her mind, looking for the reasons that led to her failure this time so as to prepare for the next time.
Anna thought about it for a long time, but finally stopped reviewing. Without a thorough understanding of the IMF, no matter how she inferred, it would be useless.
She didn't even know when the other party noticed her. Was it the moment she came from the Earth Sea? Or the moment she left the country
How much use do they make of the anomaly? Do any of them know about Earthsea's existence
Now, apart from the fact that they had infiltrated three spies into their own ranks, Anna knew nothing else about this organization.
Maybe they have something in their hands that can sense me directly.
"Since they have their own army, I think the IMF must be very huge. Now the first thing to figure out is whether their philosophy is the same as the foundation, or whether they have their own different philosophy."
Just as Anna was thinking about these messy things, there was a sudden beep and the monitor on the table lit up.
Anna looked up and saw that the person on the monitor was an Asian woman, a woman who looked very approachable.
She is a little fat, with a bit of baby fat on her face. With the round-frame glasses on her face, she looks a bit like an elementary school teacher who specializes in teaching Chinese in a small county town.
"Hello, my name is Stuart. Did you sleep well? Are you hungry now?" As she spoke, a crack opened in the wall next to her, and a bowl of steaming beef was pushed out.
"According to the evidence from No. 8 and No. 2, your diet is very casual. Basically, you just eat whatever you want. This is not okay. If you don't maintain it well, you won't be able to keep your good figure for long."
Anna sat up from the bed and didn't move. She stared at her coldly, wondering what the woman was going to say.
Stuart smiled slightly and continued, "We don't mean any harm to you. First of all, you have to understand that your behavior is wrong and anti-human. Human sacrifice is absolutely not allowed."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Anna's eyes, but she still didn't say anything and continued to watch the other person's performance.
"Our Agent No. 2 once saw you admit in your conscious dream that you are a monster. I know that there are many people in some worlds who call themselves monsters."
"But you have to understand that this could be a mental illness, or it could be caused by hallucinations from excessive drug intake. Whatever it is, we can help you get treatment and make you a normal person."
"The premise of all this is that you first have to tell us where you got your knowledge from."
As Stuart spoke, he took a few pieces of paper from outside the screen and showed them to Anna. Drawings on the papers were all the ritual arrays that she had used before.
"Where do these things come from? Where is your heritage? Why can't we copy them?"
Hearing what the other party said, Anna finally spoke up, "Didn't you just say that my behavior is anti-human? If you want to hold these rituals of mine, you have to pay a price. So, what kind of behavior is this copying behavior of yours?"
At this moment, Anna found that she had an extra chip in her hand. The other party obviously wanted all the information in her memory.
Fortunately, Anna had burned all the papers with her records before, so what they wanted only existed in their heads.
Anna also understood that this was a bargaining chip that must not be handed over. If she handed it over, she would definitely be killed because she would be of no use.
Stuart smiled slightly, and Anna keenly noticed that her eyes were raised, obviously waiting for confirmation from the person outside the screen.
"IMF, that's the name of our organization, you have to be aware that many of these 'items' can be both physically dangerous to people and can have a psychological impact on people around the world, shaking their personal beliefs and interfering with their daily lives."
"We work to control and mitigate these anomalies, protecting the world without the outside world knowing about them."
Are there relics on the surface? Anna immediately grasped the key point in the other party's words.
"You have to understand that if there are many things that are not properly controlled, the peace of the human world will be gone. Some serious things may even have the ability to destroy human civilization."
"We are also committed to getting all kinds of anomalies to work with me to realize this great idea." At this point, the other party paused slightly, "This can also include you."
"Your situation is not without solutions. As long as you explain clearly, we are willing to accept you into the organization."
"Of course, if you want to join us, you must first tell us your identity and origins. I need to know everything before I can make an assessment."
Anna didn't say anything else. She went around in circles and came back to the same topic. After saying so much, the other party still wanted the only bargaining chip in her hand.
Seeing that Ana didn’t seem to want to talk about this, Stuart didn’t urge her too much, “You can think about it slowly, we are not in a hurry, you eat first, and when we are free, we will continue chatting.”
Anna kept looking at the black screen. She knew that she could put the search for the entrance to the Earthsea aside for now. The most important thing for her to do now was to escape from this damn place first.
For some time afterwards, Anna was imprisoned in this small house, and the woman named Stuart would appear from time to time and talk to her.
She didn't often talk about business with Anna. Sometimes she would even complain to her about the food in the cafeteria and the gossip between colleagues. This attitude seemed to really treat Anna as a friend.
But Anna knew that everything was a disguise, and this was just the beginning. If they found that soft tactics didn't work, they would probably resort to hard tactics.
However, it was through the conversation with this woman that Anna learned that she was being held in a detention center.
The other party did not say anything else, but one can draw a conclusion from the things on the Dihai Foundation that this containment point also holds other relics besides himself.
Unless it is something extremely dangerous, it is obviously unrealistic to hold one thing in a containment point.
Unbeknownst to Anna, her detailed information and psychological analysis were being rapidly transmitted to the IMF's adjudication department.
They are using a supercomputer and past experience to evaluate the situation of this humanoid anomaly, and the next step will be to win him over, force a confession, or directly eliminate the anomaly.
