All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 337 Non-governmental organizations causing medical disturbances
On the streets in the early morning, there weren't many people or vehicles passing by. Ji Ran silently browsed the Special Operations Department forum.

Are there many practitioners in this world?
Not much.

Compared to the massive population, the number distributed across each city is still quite small. Shancheng, a second-tier city with a population of ten million, has only thirty-nine officially registered travelers.

Among them, seventeen were members of the Special Operations Department.

Of course, there will also be some unregistered travelers. These people are actually registered by Chanyin, but they do not have permission to view them.

While browsing the Special Operations Department forum, Ji Ran looked up information about unofficial travelers.

Currently, there are three leading non-governmental organizations nationwide.

The Spirit World Mutual Aid Association, the Kunlun Association, and the Company are the three organizations that differ most from others in that they have an extremely wide membership, comprising a large number of practitioners.

The Spirit World Mutual Aid Association is the largest and most loosely organized group among them. Many members of the Special Operations Department are also in it. There are no restrictions on joining this organization; it only provides new members with interest-free loans of corresponding value according to their level, starting at one million.

In addition, regular exchange meetings, salons, and trade fairs are organized, mainly to support and improve the living conditions and quality of life of the travelers, and to arrange stable employment for their families. Occasionally, internal barter, trading, and auctions are also held.

Rumor has it that the leader of this organization is a wandering spirit official. The organization's most distinctive feature is that anyone can join, including wanted criminals and cult members. Furthermore, violence is strictly prohibited among members of the Spirit World Mutual Aid Association, including those in the Special Operations Department.

It's somewhat similar to the Peace Hotel.

However, Ji Ran didn't believe this organization had no official backing. Improving the living conditions of the travelers would effectively reduce their crime rate in reality. At the same time, intelligence was an important source of income for the Spirit World Mutual Aid Association. The organization's long-term business consisted of only two things: intelligence and consignment.

The Special Operations Department acquires intelligence quickly, and the intelligence from the official system is extremely comprehensive. However, within the Special Operations Department's teams, there is no dedicated intelligence gathering department, only intelligence analysis members.

In Ji Ran's view, the Spirit World Mutual Aid Association is most likely cooperating with the Special Operations Department on intelligence sharing.

As for the Kunlun Society, it is the largest lineage-based organization. It is a group that has been passed down from Taoism, Buddhism, and even unorthodox schools since ancient times. It does not recruit outsiders, and its branches are located in the Kunlun Mountains and uninhabited areas. It does not interfere in the world.

His own Wind and Thunder Blade Manual was passed down from it.

The company, however, is rather unique. It is registered with the Special Operations Department, and the practitioners it recruits are primarily tasked with exploring the spirit world, discovering spiritual events in reality, and researching life tools.

The salary is paid in spiritual essence, and there will be a commission for completing tasks.

The company's research focus is on **skills**. Through research on life tools and exploration of the spirit world, they develop special skills for sale. Additionally, the company is the only organization that proactively conducts in-depth research into the **graveyards** outside the Jia Chen district, providing **graveyard** guide services for dying travelers at extremely high prices.

Rumor has it that the company possesses a time rewind point in a graveyard.

The company also collaborates with the Special Operations Department, but it maintains a high degree of independence, and its members are very loyal. Travelers above level 4 can purchase company shares and enjoy a monthly share of spiritual energy.

The company's leader is a wandering god, a third-tier corpse craftsman.

Apart from these three major organizations, the other traveler groups are all very small and have no social influence.

One is the Kunlun Society, which is ignorant of worldly affairs; another is a company whose main research focus is on the spirit world; and the third is a mutual aid society that provides convenience and services for travelers in their real lives.

Based on the intelligence, none of the three seem to be people who would interfere with the authorities.

Ji Ran's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

Hard to say.

In the past, perhaps so. After all, there wasn't much to gain in the mortal world, at most a few beasts, spiritual beings, and special nodes. To be honest, it was far less resource-rich than the celestial realms, and couldn't compare to the high-risk, high-reward nature of the spirit world.

But now, it's different.

A new era is dawning, the secret service is stepping into the limelight, and the traveler will no longer be completely hidden.

An entire new world has appeared in the present world—the Demon Realm! Moreover, the Demon Realm is a vast world inhabited by demons and ghosts, which is absolutely attractive to corpse craftsmen and spirit travelers.

Furthermore, this world only has two orders.

The largest group of travelers is at the second tier, where they often get stuck for a long time trying to leap over the dragon gate or sever the three corpses. The Demon Realm is almost a perfectly suited world for this.

The interests involved in a world are self-evident.

Marshal Zhige was able to transcend birth and death and suppress the present world by firstly relying on the lingering power of the Annihilation God and the sinking of the North Sea, and secondly by sacrificing himself.

He must constantly seal himself off and remain in the mortal realm to suppress all the travelers there.

Therefore, in the Demon Realm, it means that the Ceasefire will not appear.

Those organizations... really don't have any ideas?

Of course, Ji Ran didn't think the Special Operations Department was unaware of this. If he could think of it, the Special Operations Department probably already had a complete solution when they decided to publicly reveal the Demon Realm.

However, after reviewing the information, Ji Ran had already formed his own guesses.

Ordinary independent practitioners wouldn't dare cause trouble for the authorities. The Spirit Realm Mutual Aid Association seems to be supported by the authorities, and the Kunlun Society's reclusive survival model is officially recognized.

So, if it's not another small group, it can only be an organization.

Relevant information suddenly popped up on Ji Ran's phone.

[Company] (Main Departments):
[Department for Containment of Fate Entities], [Department for Research on Talented Skills], [Department for Investigation of the Spirit World].

……

"Oh no—how am I supposed to live?!"

"Falsifying medical records! This is utterly disregard for human life!"

Suddenly, a mournful wail rang out.

Ji Ran looked up and saw that the taxi was on its way home yesterday, passing by the hospital. It was a little past ten o'clock, the busiest time for the hospital.

[Unscrupulous doctor researching organ removal – with ulterior motives!] [Failed surgery, concealing the patient's condition – an outrage against humanity!]

……

White banners with black lettering, wailing and cursing. A group of people surrounded the hospital entrance, led by two ragged elderly men, making it impossible for the hospital security personnel to make a move.

The scale of the operation was much larger than it had been at night.

Ji Ran sighed.

He could see the cause and effect, and understood that this matter actually fell under the category of medical disputes. Just as he had told the driver before, if there was a valid reason and evidence, go to the court; if there was no reason and evidence, go to the central government.

Only those who act unreasonably and without evidence resort to tantrums and mudslinging.

The taxi drove away in an instant, and Ji Ran knew that she couldn't interfere in this kind of thing.

Given his special operations department status, as long as he intervenes, the General Administration and other departments will definitely handle the matter seriously and restore the hospital and the doctor's reputation to its original state.

and then?
Assuming all travelers acted this way, even if they meant well, it would still disrupt normal order. Besides, who can guarantee that all members of the Special Operations Department are good people?

If someone actually does this, they are exercising "privilege," which will bring endless harm.

One of the principles of the Special Operations Department is not to interfere in normal cases and incidents. That's the responsibility of the headquarters, the jurisdiction of the security officers.

The Special Operations Department is responsible for a matter, and it must confirm whether there is any intervention from practitioners or spiritual forces involved.

Ji Ran silently composed herself, turned off her phone, and waited for the driver to arrive at their destination.

……

hospital.

Four people were sitting in the small conference room.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group had a wrinkled face and looked tired. He asked, "What are their demands?"

The male doctor on the left bowed his head and said, "One million in compensation, Director Zhou publicly apologizes, admits that the child's cerebral palsy is her responsibility, admits to profiting from organ harvesting, admits..."

Bang!
"Admit my ass! Why don't they just die?"

On the right side of the conference table sat a middle-aged woman with her hair pulled back, and next to her was a young female doctor with short hair.

At that moment, the short-haired female doctor slammed her hand on the table, her face grim, and said, "They even harvest organs for profit!"

Where are their faces?

"They signed the papers themselves. That woman had amniotic fluid embolism. Were they just going to let her die without removing her uterus? Let him ask around and see how many people in the whole country could save her!"

"Cai Lan!"

The dean, seated at the head of the table, snorted and banged on the table repeatedly, saying, "Watch your words! Aren't you causing enough trouble already?"

"Humph!"

Cai Lan pouted, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.

The man next to her gave a wry smile and said, "They also demand that all of Dr. Zhou's income records be made public, that her associates be investigated, and that she be transferred out of the obstetrics department."

"Nonsense!"

At this moment, the dean was also breathing rapidly.

He looked at Director Zhou, who was staring blankly and silent, sighed, and said, "Director Zhou, come with me to the Public Security Bureau to report this. If you're upright, you have nothing to fear. Trust the hospital and trust everyone's eyes."

Dr. Zhou shook his head and said, "I have two more surgeries this morning. The patients specifically asked me to perform them. I'll go after I finish those."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you want."

The dean nodded and gestured, "Xiao Cai, take your master to prepare first. Watch your words and actions, don't cause trouble for your master!"

"it is good."

Cai Lan left the conference room with her head down.

"Dean."

After watching the two leave, the male doctor said, "I asked around, and it's difficult to file a case. The patient filed the lawsuit against the hospital, and it's hard to take any action against the patient before the results are in."

The hospital director looked out the door and said, "We'll try our best. Everyone knows what kind of person Dr. Zhou is. When something like this happens, the hospital will try its best to protect her."

"Just consider this a lesson learned."

The male doctor paused slightly, then asked, "What if I encounter a similar situation in the future?"

The dean remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"This afternoon, go and hold a short meeting with the obstetrics department."

"In the future, if similar situations arise that involve the removal of organs such as the uterus... we will no longer inform the family members and will abandon all attempts to save them."

The dean waved his hand weakly, walked to the window, and said, "Tell everyone to protect themselves."

"……Yes."

The sunlight outside the window was warm, but the white cloth with black lettering was glaringly cold.
