I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 625 - 244 Oddballs in the City, Simple Methods (5k)

Tong Si arrived quickly, personally brought over by Feng Wei.

On one hand, to find the target, Tong Si was pretty much the only ghost who'd seen the target and could help out.

On the other hand, Tong Si could see things other people couldn't, so relying on him to help look would probably have a higher success rate and be a bit faster too.

Honestly, this is why frontline workers often find dealing with ghost-related cases tricky.

You have to first determine whether the incident is one of those "Scientific Investigation" types, then find the ghost, confirm what kind of ghost it is, decide how to handle it, and only then go for capture or elimination.

And often, even the first step isn't that easy to nail down.

Like this time—the current investigation results actually make this one belong to "Scientific Investigation."

But that girl probably got tormented badly, desperate for help, and actually went to see Doctor Meng.

Plus, that ghost was crazy arrogant, even started a fight with Doctor Meng, and managed to piss him off.

According to Wan Jun, when Doctor Meng runs into this kind of stuff, he usually never gets involved in a patient's grudges with anything else—he just treats the patient.

This is a rule set by the Dream Tapir Clan, and behind that rule are plenty of bloody lessons from before.

Dream Tapirs are already super rare—can't afford to get tossed around any more.

There was a time Doctor Meng couldn't help himself and got involved in a patient's grudge, but it didn't end well.

Ever since then, he pretty much keeps out of it.

Even if someone really does have beef with a patient, everyone basically plays by a certain unspoken rule.

I don't mess with your business, you don't mess with mine.

Once a patient walks into my place, they're my guest—if I want to treat them, they're my patient.

Before they step out, don't poke your nose in, and I won't poke into yours.

Once they walk out, it's none of my business.

If this guy weren't ridiculously arrogant this time, Doctor Meng wouldn't have started a fight first.

Even so, Doctor Meng didn't go straight to the Scorching Sun Department—he went to Zhuge Wanjun first.

On one side, as a member of the different races, contact with the Scorching Sun Department has to be super cautious; on the other, Doctor Meng was already showing a ton of restraint.

Wen Yan totally gets where these people are coming from.

A lot of non-human beings he's met instantly get a few percent friendlier when he says he's not from the Scorching Sun Department.

Not that they actually have a grudge against the Scorching Sun Department—there's just this natural instinct to avoid those government types.

With Tong Si in tow, Wen Yan headed to Yu State—Feng Yao had already arranged to leave a car for him where he'd be coming out, with the car keys literally set on a grave mound.

No driver included—which means, on the surface, this has nothing to do with the Scorching Sun Department; Wen Yan can do whatever he wants next.

And on the headquarters side, Feng Yao could also claim that Wen Yan was there on a mission.

It's all about smoothing things out on both ends while still getting the job done.

Meanwhile, at the Nanwu County Scorching Sun Department, some people already knew about Wen Yan's stunt, going straight to headquarters and throwing the evidence right in their faces.

Of course, nobody thought there was anything wrong with that.

The people who were in that domain back then will probably never forget the sight of Wen Yan carrying Cai Qidong's corpse, striding toward the main road without even a pause.

They genuinely respected Wen Yan for that.

If they were in his shoes, they doubted they'd have dared to take that step, let alone actually pull it off.

Just that sentence—"Cai Heizi died here; we can't bury him here too, right?"—anyone from Nanwu County could see Wen Yan did the right thing.

Now that Feng Yao can get Wen Yan out working, it's proof of his abilities—makes getting things done a lot easier.

Driving along, Wen Yan followed the GPS towards the Meng Family Insomnia Recuperation Clinic. On the road, he glanced over at Tong Si.

"If you see anything, just tell me—it doesn't have to be just that red-eyed, big-mouth thing we mentioned earlier. Anything else is fine too.

We're just killing time anyways."

"Ever since Cai Heizi died, I noticed some folks really think they're hot shit now."

Tong Si didn't really get it, but he had heard the name Cai Heizi before—seemed to be a nickname for the Nanwu County Scorching Sun Department's minister. People who called him that were either tight with him, or just bold enough. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Showing up in the middle of heavy crowds in broad daylight, the air thick with people and white-hot yang energy blazing—the clothes from Lord Zhu that Tong Si was wearing still weren't enough to keep him comfortable.

He didn't even dare use his grim-eye to peek around too much, since everywhere he looked was a sea of fire.

It was only because Wen Yan had blessed him with extra yang energy that he was feeling better.

Amidst that sea of fire, he occasionally glimpsed odd auras that didn't fit in.

Whenever Tong Si spotted something, he told Wen Yan right away.

Every time, Wen Yan just glanced at it from far away, pulled out his phone to check the identity, then left without even getting close.

Those demons living in the city look no different from ordinary office workers or regular shop owners.

Bear Boss, who runs the honey shop, nearly snapped his phone in half, cursing in a strong Northeastern accent at whoever was on the other end.

"Don't give me that crap! Sold out? Sold out my ass, you think my tongue's broken? If you mixed in a bit of syrup I'd let it slide—might just not do business with you again. But you cut it fifty-fifty... Hey, the bastard hung up! Just wait, I'll get you."

A fox demon in glasses, with some distinctive features not fully hidden on his neck, weaved through traffic on a little electric scooter—totally a Yu State thing.
