"Is that so? Thank you, Mrs. Kretia. This is the water purification filter given by our company for activities. Please accept it."

Smack~
Dororo, Baker Street 134c.
Mark, who was dressed like Mario, walked out of this British-style house and brought it to the door.
After stopping at the door for a long time, he took out a pack of cigarette from his arms, pulled out one and held it in his mouth, and slowly turned into an unmanned alley.
The alley was cold and wet, and the cold wind blew by. However, compared to the coldness on his body, the chill in his heart was even more bone-chilling, making his hair stand on and he felt cold sweat.
After a moment, he clamped the cigarette on his ear, and then took out a headset from his pocket and stuffed it into his ear.
"Eric, recorded the archives and searched for 1,200 witnesses, all lost the impression of the November 9th magic disaster incident. He was initially judged as an x-level target code-named "God" and had the ability to change others' memories and cognition."
Mark said to the headphones in a low voice.
Yes, after the magic disaster, the city of Dororo was unusual for them, so they chose to send members of the Secret Service team to investigate.
But the investigation results were creepy. They randomly checked 1,200 people with Rainbow Theater Street as the center within ten kilometers, but none of them had any impression of the magic disaster that day.
There is only one word that can answer the current situation and erase memory.
This is something that makes people fear more than destroying the world.
Have their memories been tampered with?
Is there anyone or something important to be erased?
After careful consideration, Mark felt a chill lingering in his heart and never dissipated for a long time.
Eric in the headphones was silent for a moment.
"Yes, the leader, but...why is He doing this for?"
Mark was silent for a moment, "I don't know either. The specific situation is better to go to District 11 to hold another meeting."
"Captain Mark, I think I know the reason."
Another strange voice suddenly came from the headphones. Mark raised his eyebrows slightly. He raised his head and saw that Nie Li, who was wearing plumber uniforms and headsets like Mark, walked slowly over.
As early as three days ago, Nie Li was applied for a special talent and was directly under Mark's management.
There are too few awakened people now. If the number of awakened people is really as more and more scholars say in the future, the Secret Service will draw up documents to create a special department composed of awakened people, specifically used to solve events like magic disasters, with a tentative name of... "Subdue demons"
Nie Li ran over quickly and came to Mark.
Since you have joined the Secret Service, you must get used to the various tasks of the Secret Service.
If he treats him specially just because he has special power, it is easy to make his mentality change a little unnecessary.
Whether it is to let him eat and drink well, to provide for him like an old man, or to keep him in a lock, it is not advisable to monitor and study him.
The best way is to treat everyone equally and let these awakened people understand that before they have strong power, they are a Britannian citizen and a member of a secret service team.
Therefore, Mark asked him to start familiar with the simplest intelligence investigation work. For this reason, he personally took out tasks with Nie Li to provide guidance, and also to prevent accidents.
"How is it, Nieli?" Mark asked first.
"Like those before, they don't have any impression of that day. There are more than 1,200 people, and none of them have any impressions. According to this ratio, there is absolutely no reason to suspect that the people in the city have been eliminated."
Nie Li said with a serious expression.
Mark nodded. These days, whether it is online or all kinds of folk rumors, it is extremely quiet, so this answer has long been as expected.
However, as a novice, Nie Li can obtain this information from it, which also means that he does have talent in this area.
Then he asked again.
"By the way, you just said you know the reason, have you guessed something?"
Mark, who asked this, actually had no hope of whether Nie Li could answer anything.
But he is an extraordinary person with special power. Looking at extraordinary power with the perspective of extraordinary power may lead to some inspiration.
"I think this may not be done by that god."
Nie Li said seriously.
"Oh?" Mark raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why?"
"Think about it, why are only ordinary people who have their memories modified, but we don't?"
The memories of these people were modified were Kuro and Yuko, because that day, Xia Ya's super-large flash bomb made a crack in the world's reconciliation mechanism of extraordinary power.
If this crack is allowed to expand, it is very likely to trigger a "big collapse" and lead to the restart of the entire civilization and return to the primitive era.
So, Kuro chose to modify these people's memories to assist in the reconciliation mechanism to repair the crack.
But he also needs to leave some people behind to gradually adapt to the specifications of Shaya.
And these people who have been in contact with special events for the first time undoubtedly have stronger acceptance than ordinary people and are also helpful for subsequent plans, so Kuro left their memory.
But Mark obviously doesn't know this...
After Nie Li's reminder, he also realized this key node that he had overlooked.
"Tell me, look."
"We can think from the perspective of others and modifying the memories of these ordinary people will be the most beneficial for whom." Nie Li said with a bright look.
Mark touched his chin and murmured softly.
"If you modify these people's memory and think in a good direction, Dororo City will avoid panic and unrest and stabilize the entire society..."
Oops, he raised his head, "Is it to help us?"
"It may also be to help them." An excitement flashed in Nie Li's eyes.
"God has no position and reason. If He needs faith, then letting everyone remember it is to maximize the benefits. If it is not needed, it is even more impossible to take action.
The most likely one is naturally a human being, but also possesses special powers…”
"The two existences that happened in the Blaze Dog incident."
Mark's eyes flashed with a glimmer of splendor, and he lowered his head and thought.
"Because the existence of the code name "God" is so strong that we can't help but ignore the other clues. You are right, Nie Li, from a standpoint, compared to that person, there is undoubtedly more reason for these two people who are suspected to be ancient humans.
They are humans, so they are willing to cause panic among people and choose to erase their memories. This makes sense."
After a pause, Mark continued.
"It can modify the memories of everyone in the entire city of Dororo in just a few days. It seems that our assessment of the strength of the two of them needs to be improved by another level."
"What if it's more than the two of them?" Nie Li spoke at this moment.
Mark's pupils shrank slightly and he raised his head suddenly, "You mean..."
"I actually prefer to believe that they have an organization, a huge organization hidden behind the world. They have clear classes and clear division of labor."
Nie Li stared at Mark seriously, his sincere and serious eyes were extremely credible.
"Do you know how many people there are in Dororo City? Tens of millions! It's just that this group of people stands together and bombs with missiles. At least dozens of rounds of light can be killed. Just two people can erase the memories of these tens of millions of people, and there are no mistakes. Do you think it's possible?"
Mark remained silent. He touched his chin and said in a serious and meditative expression.
"You are right. It was mentioned in that recording that there are definitely more than two of them who have survived from ancient times to the present, and they have been united in this long period of time to keep warm. It is entirely possible to set up an organization composed of magicians. Those two are just spokespersons launched by the unknown organization."
Nie Li nodded, "This may also explain why it is difficult for us to find their figures in various historical materials.
According to the recording, they are still fighting against those monsters for the past thousand years. Such powerful power cannot leave clues in history. The only possibility is that they may have started this method of handling it very early, with clear division of labor, organized and disciplined erasing the traces of their existence, hiding themselves, and isolating them from the world.
That's why they have processed the tens of millions of people in a short time, because this is how they have been through these thousands of years, and they have enough experience."
As the two of them talked about each other, the logical context of this matter was gradually clarified by them.
Their brains are becoming clearer and clearer. Although there is no evidence, they are almost 100% sure that this is the truth of this matter.
Mark raised his head and looked at Nie Li and praised.
"I did a good job, and it was really my most correct decision to let you join the Secret Service team."
Nie Li touched his head embarrassedly and smiled.
Did Nieli know that Kuro erased everyone's memories of Dororo?
Of course, the answer is not to know. After separating from the two of them that day, Kuro and Yuko joined forces to use the super-large forgetting magic circle, erasing the memories of everyone in the city for that period.
Then he went to teach Daniel's magic, and then he went back to the Sunship and followed Charia to Harry Potter's world.
Except for starting to explain that Nie Li could reveal the existence of the Secretariat, he never came to him at all.
And all of this was made up based on his own knowledge of the existence of the Secret Practice, and he identified it as the truth.
"If you think about it this way, they may have another meaning to keep our memories."
Mark's eyes opened.
After hearing this, Nie Li raised his head in confusion.
"What's the meaning?"
