Chapter 352 A Disturbance of Evil Qi
More and more snowflakes fell, densely covering the field of vision.

But more and more people came, and those who had finished dinner led their children, cheering and playing in the heavy snow.

Ji Ran, Cai Lan, and Deng Zhihe took a stroll to digest their food, and the snowflakes falling from the sky looked like golden stars under the streetlights.

Are you sure the Special Operations Department didn't conduct human experiments?

Standing at 2.1 meters tall, Ji Ran looked like a crane among chickens as she walked along the snack street outside the residential area.

His height was not due to an uneven physique, but rather to perfect proportions like those of an ancient Greek sculpture.

Of course, if Ji Ran were to reveal his true form, which is over three meters tall, the perfection of his physical body would be an ultimate achievement that even the greatest sculptor could not depict.

At this moment, Ji Ran was wearing black casual pants, a white jacket over a gray shirt, and his short hair gave him a handsome look. His eyes were clear and bright, sparkling with light.

Everyone on the street kept glancing at him.

"No."

Ji Ran was also somewhat speechless. He had revealed part of the secret department to Cai Lan, telling her that there were demons similar to vengeful ghosts in that other world, but he had not shown her any videos.

But Cai Lan's reaction was more enthusiastic than Deng Zhihe's. As a medical student, she was a staunch atheist.

Judging from her reaction, the existence of the "ghost" made her even more excited.

"The Special Operations Department and the Secret Department have some methods to enhance the human body. I've just changed a lot, but it doesn't affect my body."

"If you get accepted, you might be involved in research and development."

Ji Ran attributed her changes to the strengthening of the Secret Department. She didn't need to explain too much; once she joined the Secret Department, she would naturally know about the existence of the Traveler.

"I've made up my mind! I'll take the exam during the Chinese New Year!"

Cai Lan patted Ji Ran on the shoulder and said with a grin, "When the time comes, I'll turn you into a Super Saiyan!"

"Thank you in advance."

Ji Ran shrugged, while Cai Lan circled around him, tugged at Deng Zhihe's hat, and asked, "What about you? Are you taking the exam?"

"Uh, let me check the news from the bureau first."

Deng Zhihe understood that if he joined the secret service, he would definitely be on the front lines. Cai Lan's excitement was more or less due to a case of "professing love for something but fearing its consequences." Having seen the video with his own eyes, he still felt a vague sense of fear.

"Shall we go check out the newsstand next to the middle school?"

Ji Ran changed the subject, and the discussion about work did not continue.

"go!"

Cai Lan took the lead, and the three of them headed towards the middle school, braving the snowflakes.

The small newsstand stands opposite the now completely dark middle school.

The newsstand is run by an elderly couple. Although it's winter break now, business is still pretty good because of the dense residential areas around it.

Serialized novels and comic books covered the walls of the newsstand, while an old lady rolled up pancakes for people: a handful of fried dough sticks, a braised egg, a grilled sausage, and a handful of seaweed strips.

Ji Ran and his two companions each had one and squatted across from the middle school, munching on it.

Deng Zhihe had eaten too much at the food stall and had to take a break after every bite. Watching Ji Ran and Cai Lan eat heartily, he angrily denounced the two for their ulterior motives.

The three laughed and joked, while children ran up to the newsstand behind them, surrounding the old lady to buy pancakes. A boy wearing glasses took advantage of a break while rolling up his pancake to quickly flip through a comic book.

The old man in the newsstand leaned back in his recliner, holding a copy of Yilin magazine, his eyes half-closed, half-asleep.

The branches of the small grove on campus pierced through the fence, covered with a thick blanket of snow. The light from the security room reflected the scrolling screen of the office building, making Ji Ran feel as if she had returned to her high school days five or six years ago.

Drip!

Ji Ran's phone vibrated slightly. He glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Lu Zaiye.

he?
Ji Ran knew that this guy was also going to join Xie Yan's team; he had gone to Qing City with him before.

[Lu Zaiye]: In the mountain city?
[Ji Ran]: Hmm.

[Lu Zaiye]: Come out and handle a case.

[Ji Ran]: I'm busy, I'll contact you later.

[Lu Zaiye]: Okay.

……

After reading Lu Zaiye's reply, Ji Ran nodded.

It seems he's not busy with his cases, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed so readily.

Then take it easy.

The three of them ate pancakes and strolled around the school aimlessly, carefree and relaxed. It was just like a weekend many years ago.

"Ok?"

What's that noise over there?

Cai Lan pointed ahead, where a group of people were looking at something from a distance.

"Go over and have a look."

The three quickened their pace and, as they approached, they saw an elderly man riding a tricycle overturn on Zhongshan Road, a busy thoroughfare outside the residential area.

Judging from the direction the tricycle was tilting, it must have been that the wheels hit the curb and it slipped on the snow, causing it to overturn.

At that moment, passing vehicles stopped in front of the elderly man and then drove around him. Parents who saw this picked up their children and turned to leave. Even some teenagers and young adults in their twenties took a detour.

Snowflakes fluttered down, covering the old man's soft groans, which seemed warmer than the gazes around him.

Ji Ran and the other two didn't stop. Deng Zhihe pushed through the crowd of onlookers, and Ji Ran followed closely behind, pulling the tricycle and lifting it gently. Cai Lan squatted down to examine the old man's injuries, saying, "His lower leg is slightly fractured, and he has some abrasions on his waist."

"Stool, call 120."

"beated."

As the elderly man was helped up, more and more people gathered around. Some looked pleased, some looked mocking, and some remained silent.

"Thank you... thank you, young man."

The old man held Deng Zhihe's hand, his voice trembling slightly, and said, "I...I'm not a bad person, I won't extort you."

"fine."

Deng Zhihe asked for the old man's phone number, and soon the old man's family arrived. They thanked the three of them profusely and asked for their contact information, wanting to visit them in person to express their gratitude.

After Deng Zhihe and Cai Lan refused, he left with Ji Ran.

"Ugh."

After walking a short distance, Deng Zhihe sighed and cursed, "Damn it."

"What's wrong?"

Ji Ran and Cai Lan looked at him. Deng Zhihe let out a long breath and said, "A while ago, my colleague took on a case where a child fell off his bicycle and lost consciousness. A girl who was passing by rescued the child and took him to the hospital to contact his parents."

"But the parents said that the girl had knocked her down and forced her to pay 3 yuan in medical expenses."

"Following this, they harassed the girl online, forcing her to pay another 5 yuan for medical expenses. At the same time, they also demanded that the girl pay 47 yuan in compensation to treat the child's hemophilia."

"Are the parents crazy? Hemophilia can't be caused by a fall."

Cai Lan complained.

"Who says it's not?"

Deng Zhihe's face showed an unusual coldness as he said, "Later, a car owner nearby activated his sentry mode and filmed the child falling, providing evidence for the girl."

"The girl only asked for an apology, but what she got in return was a sarcastic apology letter from that family. Of the 80,000 yuan, more than 40,000 yuan was borrowed by the girl. When she went to ask for it back, she was repeatedly humiliated and they refused to return a single penny."

Deng Zhihe took a deep breath and said, "The most ridiculous thing is that the security guards are helpless when faced with this kind of person."

"On the contrary, online, the girl was labeled with all sorts of humiliating labels. She was treated like a monkey. A young girl who had just graduated from university became disheveled and mentally unstable within a month."

“Is that right?”

"Hehe, I'm a sheriff. I know that even if someone tries to extort money from me, the bureau will definitely investigate and provide me with proof. The one who will suffer is the extortionist."

"If I were an ordinary person, I really wouldn't dare to help that old man."

"Old Ji."

Deng Zhihe looked at Ji Ran and said, "Your Special Operations Department is a higher-level department. Has this kind of thing not been discussed internally?"

“In all walks of life and in terms of social morality, the good tolerate being deceived, while the wicked benefit.”

“Is that right?”

Cai Lan opened her mouth, but was speechless.

Around the corner ahead lies the Central Hospital. White banners with black lettering, swearing and distorting the truth, flutter askew in the snow beside the trash cans.

"That's definitely not right!"

Ji Ran said firmly, "Things will change."

Ji Ran patted Deng Zhihe's shoulder forcefully, a black and red incense flame flickering in his palm, and said, "The Special Operations Department has taken note of this issue. Just wait and see."

"exactly!"

Cai Lan also sensed that Deng Zhihe's mood was off, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Let's go, let's play a couple of video games to cool off!"

The three of them strolled around, stopping frequently, along the square they used to frequent in high school, then went to the arcade, chatted about fun things that happened in high school, and had a late-night snack before parting ways.

"call--"

Ji Ran exhaled a breath of hot air in the wind and snow, looking intently at Deng Zhihe.

Just now, an evil aura suddenly emerged from Old Deng.

It wasn't his; he picked it up in his daily work. So this evil energy didn't take root in him; it was absorbed by the incense that the Heavenly Demon Sword embryo had transformed into.

Zhang Han's inherent evil aura can only be eradicated by killing him.

Evil spirit...

Ji Ran hadn't expected that ordinary people could have such obvious evil energy.

The resentment of ordinary people stems from the hatred generated by extreme emotions. This kind of spiritual force is not weak because of weakness.

A mere commoner woman from the Southern Han Dynasty, whose karmic fire could ignite the flesh of a demonic dragon.

Ji Ran sighed softly. The atmosphere in reality was becoming increasingly hostile. Wouldn't this extreme emotionalism affect those who act on impulse?

This needs to be reported to the Special Operations Department.

However, I need to take care of some things first.

Ji Ran dialed Lu Zaiye's number.

"Hey, send me your location."
