In the investigation of paranormal events

at this time.

Below the playground—

"They ran away."

"Ugly General, what are you doing?!"

"Two B-rank brats, and you couldn't even take them down!"

"I was careless; the sudden appearance of the white dove startled me for a moment," the ugly general said dejectedly.

"Say what you will. You're in charge of handling things with the boss. If you don't do what the boss tells you to do..."

The implication in Bu Jiang's words was quite clear: if he didn't handle the task assigned by the boss well, then Chou Jiang would be finished.

"No, I've already thought of a solution."

Headquarters —

Jiang Cheng and Jason are back.

"How's it going, Jiang Cheng, Jason?" Jiang asked.

"Did you get the intelligence back?"

"Yes, there's something wrong with that abandoned school. There are definitely ghosts in that school, but the ones who really injured the snake woman were two blood demons."

"And...we also encountered a strange person."

Jiang Cheng then told Jiang about the strange man and the whole incident.

"The strange person you encountered is very likely a member of 'Evil,' and your description matches that of one of the members of this organization."

"We know very little about that organization right now, but that's a good thing. Since they're up to no good over there, they must be plotting something."

"After a while, we'll send people back to that hideout to see if we can capture one of them alive."

"However, you are very lucky to have returned safely. If it weren't for Bai Ge's interference, given that person's strength, you would probably have appeared before me with injuries."

"How much do you know about the 'Filthy' organization, Jiang?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Jiang shook his head: "I know very little. I only know that the organization is extremely cruel and its actions are utterly shameless, just like the name of the organization."

"Their leader rarely shows his face, and even their members are very secretive. They have only taken action a few times, and the result of each action was the tragic death of their members and the theft of their containment objects."

"We have been investigating this organization in recent years, and I suspect that they are behind many Class A incidents."

"A-level incident..."

This organization is stronger than he imagined. If that's the case, then the members of this organization must be at least A-level containment experts.

"Alright, that's enough."

"Anyway, thank you for your hard work, Jiang Cheng."

"I suspect that if you hadn't dealt with those two vampires, the members of 'Filth' wouldn't have been forced to take action. You are the key to solving this case."

"Just lucky."

"Alright, that's enough for now. I need to start planning my strategy."

After that, Jiang went off to do his work.

After some time, Chiang had assembled his team.

This is a raiding team composed of Class B containment experts, including Chen Ran, the Demon-Slaying Old King, and the Paper Doll.

Their captain is an A-level containment expert – "Ace".

The team quickly stormed the abandoned school, destroying its facilities, but...

The result was not quite what they expected. Inside the passage was a ritual for creating "vampires," in which more than a thousand people died. It was a huge cauldron filled with blood, and vampires climbed up one by one from it.

It can be said that the team destroyed the place with ease, and all the blood demons were killed on the spot.

However, they didn't see a single member of "Evil". They speculated that it was probably because they knew in advance that headquarters was coming to annihilate them, so they abandoned this place and fled in advance.

With that, the matter of the vampire came to an end.

But for some reason, Jiang had a vague sense of unease in his heart, as if... everything was going a little too smoothly.

The team completed the mission with ease, without encountering any obstacles.

Inside the headquarters—

"Jiang, what are you thinking about?" Chen Ran asked.

"I have a feeling that something is wrong, like I'm missing something."

"The entire operation went smoothly. Although we didn't capture any members of 'Filth,' we disrupted their vampire-making ritual, which is a significant loss for them."

"Don't overthink it."

After saying these words, Chen Ran left.

Jiang was still deep in thought. He had a feeling that "filth" wouldn't abandon that place so easily, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem like a problem.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

……

Underground at the playground—

"You're really something, Ugly General. That 'substitution of the crown prince' trick was quite well done," Bu Jiang exclaimed.

The ugly general saved this place from being discovered by sacrificing the "blood altar".

"This will make them mistakenly believe that the blood altar is our target."

"But our real purpose is actually..."

"That completes the task assigned by the boss, hehehe!" The ugly general let out a grating laugh.

At the very bottom of the playground, in the lowest "nest," countless wronged souls shriek in agony. They struggle endlessly here, and tens of thousands of these souls hatch here, awaiting the day of their "rebirth"...

……

Inside the city's central hospital—

As a containment expert in Longhua City, Jiang Cheng, being from the same city, naturally wanted to go and see the Snake Woman.

Jiang Cheng carried a basket of fruit to the snake woman's ward. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the other containment experts there as well.

"Chen Ran...the magician..."

Jiang Cheng only knows these two people so far; there are still two he doesn't know.

"Doll Girl, Demon-Slaying King".

Chen Ran explained.

Seeing Jiang Cheng standing there in a daze, the snake woman spoke first: "You've come to see me too, little Jiang Cheng?"

"I...I'm just here to deliver a basket of fruit. I'll leave after I finish."

"No... stay with me longer, everyone's here and you're leaving already?"

"Sister, I'm not going to eat you."

Despite saying that, the snake woman licked the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to walk in and sit down.

"Don't be afraid, the snake woman is very kind, and she didn't mean what she said."

Jiang Cheng glanced at the two men: a middle-aged man and a little girl.

Hearing the little girl's words, Jiang Cheng simply nodded perfunctorily.

It has to be said that Jiang Cheng found it unbelievable that the snake woman dared to flirt with him in front of so many people.

What Jiang Cheng found even more unbelievable was that everyone else looked calm and unsurprised at the scene, as if it were a very ordinary thing.

"I didn't expect you to come see me, especially since you're a newcomer. But it's okay, I'll take care of you from now on."

"If we encounter difficult tasks in the future, we can work together with my sister."

Jiang Cheng didn't speak, but simply closed her eyes and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Chen Ran smiled, then stood up and said, "You guys chat first, I'm leaving."

Then Chen Ran left, and before leaving, she winked at Yu Xiaoxiao, who immediately understood.

Then she got up from her seat, took light steps, and ran outside without saying a word.

Upon witnessing this, the magician only pondered for three seconds before getting up and stretching.

"Jiang Cheng, you can chat here. After all, you're new, and it's important to build good relationships with everyone. I'll be going now."

Before leaving, Jason patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder and then walked out the front door.

Jiang Cheng: "??"

Now only the Demon-Slaying Old King was left in the room. He didn't want to go out, but after glancing at the door, he sighed and said:

"Jiang Cheng! This is your first time here, right? Spend some time with the snake woman. Try to fulfill any requests she may have, since she is injured. Don't upset the patient."

Hearing that the Demon-Slaying Old King also said the same thing.

Jiang Cheng's inner monologue: "What the hell?!"

As Jiang Cheng watched helplessly as the Demon-Slaying Old King left, the moment the door closed, he felt something soft and squishy press against his back.

A seductive voice whispered in her ear: "Jiang Cheng~ Will you stay with me tonight?"

"I'm scared~"

Jiang Cheng slowly turned his head and looked at the snake woman's pleading expression, which was so pitiful that it made him want to cry!

Which man could resist that? But Jiang Cheng shook his head and said firmly, "Sister, I have something to do, so I won't keep you company."

"No, Jiang Cheng~"

The snake woman snuggled up to Jiang Cheng, pressing her entire body against him and acting coquettishly.

"I won't let go until you agree."

"Good little brother, please say yes to your sister~"

"Phew!" Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, recalling everything.

Who exactly caused him to become like this? Oh right, Jiang Cheng remembered, it was Chen Ran!

"Chen Ran, I'm not done with you yet," Jiang Cheng muttered under her breath.

Soon, just as Jiang Cheng and the snake woman were whispering sweet nothings, the door suddenly opened. It turned out that Chen Ran and Yu Xiaoxiao were eavesdropping outside the door, but the door couldn't support their weight and was pushed open.

"Ahem! Jiang Cheng, you two continue your conversation," Chen Ran said awkwardly.

"Jiang Cheng, Sister Xixi, please continue, please continue..." Yu Xiaoxiao said in a panic.

"Jiang Cheng, this was all Chen Ran's idea, it has nothing to do with me."

The magician spoke hastily, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a cold gaze watching him from behind.

"Where is the Demon-Slaying King?"

Jiang Cheng looked at the three of them and muttered curiously.

Jiang Cheng then looked at the balcony, where he saw that the Demon-Slaying Old King was actually climbing on the balcony, peeking out his head, and then disappearing immediately after being discovered.

"Forehead……"

"I never expected Old Wang to be this kind of person! It seems that what happened before about him stealing girls' underwear really happened!" Yu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in amazement as she watched this scene.

The Demon-Slaying Old King had appeared behind Yu Xiaoxiao without her noticing, and slapped her hard on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense! Those are just rumors spread by Ghost Hand!"

"I only took a look because I saw you all watching!"

"Waaaaaaah X﹏X, I know, it hurts so much."

Yu Xiaoxiao hurriedly covered her head. Old Wang was still the same as always, never holding back.

But who can blame him when he's the strongest?

"Ahem! Alright! Jiang Cheng, I'll treat you to hot pot another day. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Then Chen Ran immediately disappeared.

Jason's eyes had turned blue at some point, and he followed Chen Ran, like a puppet.

"Hey, hey, you guys are leaving already? That's so disloyal!"

Yu Xiaoxiao also ran out.

The Demon-Slaying Old King naturally followed him out.

Now only the Snake Woman and Jiang Cheng remain in the room.

But then, Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed that the snake woman had become much quieter. Looking back, he saw that she was lying on the hospital bed, as if she had been hypnotized.

"Thanks, Chen Ran." Seeing this, Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and murmured.

Jiang Cheng felt that it was pretty good here. As a containment expert, Chen Ran said that containment experts only have a lifespan of less than five years, but compared with her previous life, she had friends, companions, love, warmth, and a home here.

Even if it's true, as Chen Ran said, that he only has five years to live, Jiang Cheng feels that's enough, more than enough.
