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

Chapter 341 Exposed
drop!
The elevator stopped and opened. Zhang Han looked at Ji Ran, slightly taken aback.

"Let's go."

Ji Ran turned and walked towards the private room, but Zhang Hanyu keenly sensed the problem!

Go? Go where?
This kid from the Special Operations Department isn't here to buy skills; he has a mission!

Zhang Han's eyes darkened as he rapidly considered Ji Ran's intentions. The entire park was completely legal and compliant, and its operations were entirely under the surveillance of the Special Operations Department.

The entire company is not afraid of being investigated at all!

The company has been able to develop to this day right under the nose of the Special Operations Department for two fundamental reasons.

First, follow the rules.

Second, gather the travelers together.

While the Special Operations Department does possess absolute power, it also comes with corresponding obligations. Many travelers who value freedom and dislike constraints will, to varying degrees, consider joining a company.

After all, true independent travelers, unless they possess exceptional skills, will waste time in the real world. Therefore, the company can bring most of the travelers who are unwilling to join the Special Operations Department under its supervision.

Could it be... new media?

Zhang Han's heart skipped a beat!
New media has only been around for a year or two, and many people haven't yet noticed its value. But with its short, fast-paced emotional output, new media has begun to rapidly dominate the market.

I am definitely among the first to use new media to exploit emotions.

Just like the motorcycle incident I just handled.

In reality, even if someone were to interfere and personally deliver a motorcycle, or even deliberately instigate a misunderstanding that leads to a breakup and extreme sadness in the girl, the experience points they would gain would likely be only 0.01%. It would be time-consuming, laborious, and extremely risky, potentially leading to discovery and trial by the Special Operations Department. No traveler would dare risk such a mishap.

However, on new media, as long as there are people who resonate with the sadness, even if each person's sadness is insignificant, the sheer number of people involved can accumulate to create a considerable amount of experience.

If you create a video that generates over a million views, and it relates to the emotions associated with your profession, you can reap about 1% of the experience.

Don't underestimate this 1%. With countless similar videos spending money to attract traffic, promote, and generate buzz, it's not difficult to reap around 5% of the overall experience from a single viral news story.

what does this mean?
This means that if new media can output extreme emotions, three or four viral news stories can bring a traveler basic experience no less than that of the myriad realms!

The reason for carrying it out in secret was that Zhang Han knew that such a thing would absolutely violate the requirements of the Special Operations Department.

Have we been discovered?
impossible!

Aside from sowing the seeds of karma, all of his and Ren Dongcheng's actions were carried out by a media company with whom he had no connection. No matter how much the Special Operations Department investigated, they shouldn't have discovered any problems.

At this point, Ji Ran finished looking at the second floor and continued upwards.

"Little brother."

At this moment, Zhang Han still had a smile on his face as he stood in front of Ji Ran and said, "Upstairs is our staff's office area."

"Also, may I ask for your ID?"

"The Immortal of Turbidity".

Ji Ran looked into Zhang Hanyu's eyes and said, "Mr. Zhang, do you think that the Special Operations Department is not qualified to enter your office area?"

"of course not."

Zhang Han's expression was somewhat grim. He said, "But the Special Operations Department must have a reason for searching my office area, right?"

Ji Ran simply stared into Zhang Hanyu's eyes and said, "Okay."

"I suspect you have engaged in extreme violations, and I already have some leads. I'm here to find someone."

“Perfect timing, Mr. Zhang, please show me around all the company areas and let me meet all the travelers.”

As Ji Ran spoke, the Wind Beast stepped out from behind him and jumped into the lobby on the first floor!
"Go and keep watch in the lobby."

"Do not let any traveler leave."

The calm voice made Zhang Han's expression change slightly—how dare he!?

This is not the celestial realm, nor the spirit realm! This is the real world!
Zhang Hanyu was unaware that Ji Ran possessed the privilege of "outcome-based justice." Based on his understanding of the Special Operations Department, Zhang Hanyu felt a chill run down his spine.

With such forceful enforcement, did the Special Operations Department really catch up with some clue?
All along, because the Special Operations Department possessed the strongest power, they needed to restrain themselves to put all the violence of the travelers into a cage. Zhang Han led the way while carefully sensing—he couldn't detect Ji Ran's qi and blood power.

Therefore, the traveler with the ID "Zhuoxian" in front of us should not be strong, at least not strong enough to have achieved the "Leap of the Dragon Gate".

Because of its immortality—its body is flawless and its vital energy is sealed—the Wind Beast did not pose a threat to Zhang Han.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least, the situation was still under control for the time being.

So, what went wrong?
Investigating the secret service?

Harvesting emotions?

There are only two possibilities.

If it's the latter, there's still some room for argument, since new media is a relatively new field and there aren't any explicit regulations against its use. At least, it's not a capital offense, and the company has room to maneuver given its capabilities.

But if the secret investigation is exposed, the problem will be huge!

Zhang Han walked ahead, his face deathly pale. As a level 5 Spirit Platform Daoist in the Fangshi (Taoist class), his body had undergone four aberration modifications. Facing Ji Ran, a likely first-tier Traveler, he felt no fear.

But the words "Special Operations Department" are a huge obstacle. Everyone knows that the Bai family in Northeast China broke the rules by killing ordinary people to practice their inner magic.

The entire Northeast region's mystical sects were wiped out, their mountains and caves swept clean. Travelers from the past say that during the time the Xing'an Mountains were sealed off, blood flowed down to the foot of the mountains.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Gods Society took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, attempting to guide the heavens to the other realms. As a result, they were sunk into the sea along with the entire continent of Hokkaido!

Now, there are reports from higher-ups that the Special Operations Department has begun contacting various parties to divide up the otherworld.

This style of remaining still until the very end, and then acting without hesitation, is the fundamental reason why the Special Operations Department has been able to deter real-world practitioners for decades.

Zhang Han took a deep breath, his expression suddenly calm, and his eyes turned cold.

Investigating the secret department... When I accepted that ability, I was already prepared to take the risks.

He watched Ji Ran searching for clues in the office area, his expression confident and certain. Given the Special Operations Department's style, sending a low-level investigator meant they must have discovered something, but he wasn't sure.

If you realize you're exploiting emotions, then accept it. It's nothing more than manipulating ordinary people's emotions and maliciously reaping their experience.

But if the secret investigation department is discovered.

Today, he cannot leave the company.

……

At this moment, Ji Ran had already arrived at a private office, and the familiar spiritual aura was already in front of him.

"Ah."

Ji Ran stepped forward, gently tapped the table, and took out the [Warning Bug] from his storage space. He turned his head slightly to look at Zhang Hanyu and said, "Mr. Zhang, please invite the friend in this office over for a chat."

Zhang Han slowly closed his eyes.

Upon seeing the warning insect, he had already given up any hope.

“Mr. Zhuo, I didn’t want it to be like this either.”

"It's a pity you're too young. You shouldn't have taken out that warning bug."

Under pressure from the Special Operations Department, if Ji Ran doesn't bring out the warning insect and make Zhang Han fully understand that the investigation into the Secret Department has been exposed, he ultimately won't dare to kill him.

"is it?"

Across the office, where more than twenty bewildered staff members stood, Ji Ran said calmly, "Shall we go out first?"

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "No need."

"Today, there will be no living person left in the entire Yashan Company."

Zhang Han took out a syringe, injected it into his arm, and said in a helpless yet cold voice, "Including me."
