Learn one small skill every day

It seems that everyone in Yar City is working hard to make money and live.

Oh, except for Mrs. Hearst.

Bai Miao saw her nine times out of ten when she was tending to flowers and plants, and once when she was dozing off in her wheelchair.

Bai Miao didn't know how to address Hearst. If he called her "Madam," she was still an innocent young girl; if he called her "Miss," she was already married.

However, Hearst herself didn't care about being addressed, and she would respond to whatever she was called.

Bai Miao ate two extra large bowls of rice for lunch while reading the newspaper.

Around 2 p.m., Bai Miao’s doorbell rang.

There were two people outside the door, a man and a woman, both dressed as reporters.

One of them, Bai Miao knew, was the person who had managed to grab the promotional brochure that morning.

The boy was injured on the face during the struggle and came over in the afternoon with his face bandaged.

Bai Miao opened the door, and the girl handed him a business card.

“Dr. Moriarty, hello! We are reporters from the Clock Newspaper. My name is Kathryn. My colleague Kent found your clinic’s brochure this morning, and we would like to interview you. Are you available now?”

"Of course, the clinic has only been open for a short time, and I don't have that much work yet. Please come in."

Bai Miao welcomed the two into the house and went to the kitchen to boil water.

Coffee or tea?

"We'll just have tea, thank you for your help, doctor."

After entering the house, the two kept looking at the decorations inside and taking notes.

"It's alright, you can take pictures. The first floor is the reception room and clinic, please feel free to take pictures."

"Dr. Moriarty, thank you for your generosity!"

The two thanked him as they began filming.

"By the way, please don't include me in the photos."

"We will definitely avoid this, and you will be able to check the film after the shoot."

Bai Miao did not want his image to appear in the newspapers, as this would greatly diminish his mystique.

Moreover, if other hunters were to recognize the original body, it would be a huge problem.

Bai Miao wanted his name to spread throughout Yar City, but he didn't want most people in Yar City to know what he looked like.

After the tea was brewed, the interview officially began.

The other party was very well prepared, and asked Bai Miao about the clinic's location and medical direction.

Bai Miao answered each of the questions.

"So, Dr. Moriarty, you said you used to be a hunter. What made you give up hunting and become a doctor instead?"

This problem is also unavoidable.

Bai Miao did not answer immediately, but instead asked, "I would like to ask you two, what are your views on hunters? Or rather, what are the views of the residents of Yar City on hunters?"

If you were to ask who has the most accurate intelligence in Yar City, it would undoubtedly be this group of reporters who are always looking for scoops.

Although this was Bai Miao's interview, Bai Miao was also using the reporter to obtain more information.

These are all very useful resources.

Most importantly, they will come to us on their own.

To avoid giving the two any pause, Bai Miao added, "Gentlemen, please speak freely. I have decided not to be a hunter anymore, so I would like to hear other opinions."

“Yes, Dr. Moriarty.”

The two looked at each other and finally decided to let Kent speak.

"For hunters, every resident of Yar City must feel... fear and bewilderment."

"We don't know where the hunters come from or where they go, we only know that every time they appear they take the lives of others, they are truly the Grim Reapers."

"They are ruthless killers, but some hunters choose to join the Healing Cult..."

“Kent, we haven’t verified the fact that hunters have joined the Healing Cult yet,” Katris interrupted, then apologized to Bai Miao, “I’m sorry, Dr. Moriarty, but we also have another point of view: the hunters in the Healing Cult are trained by themselves, rather than being recruited by other hunters.”

"You guys continue."

Bai Miao wrote down everything they said.

Do the hunters trained also have personal storage spaces?

The healing cult seems to have acquired some incredible information...

He might be able to use the nun's information to get close to the healing cult.

Bai Miao vaguely remembered the nun mentioning that the Healing Cult had a man named Karlens who seemed to be constantly sending hunters into Abyss Street.

"In short... people generally view hunters as death itself. We'd really like to interview hunters, but we simply can't get in touch with them. Many hunters barely interact with anyone; they might buy some weapons, but that's about it. The Healing Cult is even more secretive. So... Dr. Moriarty, would it be convenient for you to be interviewed as a hunter?"

Both of them were very curious about his identity as a hunter.

Bai Miao shook his head: "You should know that even if I stop being a hunter, I still have to abide by the rules of hunters. I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions about hunters."

"However... I can say a little about the Abyss Street. On the condition that you can tell me some rumors about Favre, and it would be even better if you had specific information about his whereabouts."

Bai Miao offered Abyss Street as a bargaining chip, and as expected, the two reporters readily agreed.

“Favre is a hunter with too many legendary stories. If you need, we can compile them for you and send them over.”

Kent said somewhat embarrassedly, "So it will take a day or two... Before that, could you give me a brief overview of Abyss Street?"

"You want to pay me in advance? Sure, no problem."

Bai Miao knew the location of the Clock Newspaper from the business card. If they took the information and didn't do anything, Bai Miao wouldn't let it go.

However, Bai Miao could tell from Kent's desperate attempts to grab the brochure in exchange for an interview that he was a very competent reporter.

It's also unlikely that they would take the information and run away.

“Mr. Kent, if you want to broadcast the Abyss Street report, I would like you to separate it from my interview transcript by a day or two, and the source needs to be anonymized.”

If you can guarantee that, then I'll tell you some things about Abyss Street.

A bead of sweat trickled down Kent's forehead. He was unusually excited at this moment, wondering if he might become the first person in Yar City to report on the events related to Abyss Street.

Chapter 175 Murder Case

As promised, Bai Miao informed Kent about some of the events within Abyss Street.

Basically, hunters will also appear in Abyss Street, and the residents of Abyss Street are not human.

Bai Miao did not disclose any details regarding the plague doctor or other specific information.

Even so, Kent found it difficult to digest.

"You...you mean, monsters? The Abyss Street is full of monsters? And the Abyss Street is right inside Yar City? This, how is this possible?"

Katris seemed calmer, and she patted Kent on the shoulder to comfort him, "Alright, Kent, we already know quite a bit about the rumors in Abyss Street, don't we? Now that we have the hunters' own accounts, we can write a more convincing report."

"What kind of rumors are circulating about Abyss Street here? Has anyone said they've been there?"

If Bai Miao hadn't known about the connection between Yar City and Abyss Street from the system's dungeon information, he really wouldn't have been able to link the two together.

A place brimming with life, where everyone is busy making a living.

Another place is teeming with monsters...

That's not right either. The residents of Abyss Street are actually living their lives just fine.

Bai Miao recalled Ms. Delis's optimistic attitude towards life. Although the cloth she wove could not be sold for a long time, and she had to think twice about the medical expenses of one or two bloodstones, she still believed that her neighbors were good people and that she could get along well with them.

It's just that because I was human at the time, I felt somewhat out of place in Abyss Street.

“Dr. Moriarty, it’s like this. Our newspaper has also received many letters from residents of Yar City. They all claim to have been to a place full of black fog, but they can’t remember any specific details. They only remember being in a house with black fog outside. Because it’s too vague, we haven’t reported it.”

"These mailing addresses..."

"I'm sorry, Dr. Moriarty, but we keep this information about the residents strictly confidential. Please understand."

"Ok."

The group chatted casually about some everyday things.

Kent and Kathryn appear to be a couple and are currently preparing for their wedding. However, they have a lot of other media to attend to right now and plan to hold the wedding after they finish their current tasks.

Due to the requirement to ring the bell, the two hurriedly said goodbye to Bai Miao after the interview.

"Blessings to you both, and best wishes for a successful marriage."

Bai Miao also offered his blessings.

"Thank you, Dr. Moriarty. We'll work through the night to process the documents and try to send you the documents you need within the next day or two."

"it is good."

Bai Miao prioritized finding Faful over investigating the dark side of Yar City, since there would be no further progress after completing the dungeon quests if the side quests weren't finished.

First, develop as many side stories as possible, and the final answer will gradually emerge.

The next day, Bai Miao excitedly opened the morning paper, eager to see if there were any reports about his clinic.

"This...? Who the hell did this?"

The reporting in Yar was quite explicit.

At least Bai Miao felt that this was beyond any media outlet he had ever encountered.

In the very center of the image are two corpses embracing each other, with a spear piercing through their hearts.

The corpse's mouth was sewn shut with needle and thread, and the words "informant" were written in blood on the ground.

Bai Miao recognized the body at a glance without even reading the news reports.

It was Kathryn and Kent who conducted the interview yesterday.

Was it the information from Abyss Street that harmed them?

According to reports, the two were not killed on the street, but in their rented apartment, and their bodies were placed on the street by the killer.
