After school, he was then offered himself to a succubus.

The man looked up and glanced at Zhang Chen, then exhaled a smoke ring.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

"Do I look like I'm here to ask for money, sir?" Zhang Chen shrugged.

"Why are you getting involved with monsters at such a young age?" the man said helplessly. "Did that old man teach you all this? Aren't you afraid you'll get yourself into trouble because of it? Didn't he teach you not to meddle in other people's business?"

Ok?

Zhang Chen had no idea that his master knew about demons, but this man actually did.

Great! It's a villainous NPC who can trigger CG effects!

He originally wanted to just kill the other party as soon as they met; dragging things out for too long wouldn't do him any good.

But upon hearing this, it seemed possible to extract information from this man.

As we all know, villains often ramble on before they die, usually revealing some important information.

Well then... it's time to show off the persuasive skills he learned from the back alley to Muli.

Anime protagonists may be weak in combat and foolish in intellectual battles, but they absolutely cannot lose when it comes to verbal sparring.

The more important the moment, the more they shout out words of passion, justice, friendship, and bonds, while their vision flashes before their eyes, granting them the power of these bonds, and then they unleash their full power to instantly kill the villain.

However, Zhang Chen is not capable of doing that yet.

Because he can really kill villains instantly; a single drain of his yang energy can send them sprawling.

"Not going to say anything?"

The man lit another cigarette and sighed:

"It's just a cat, why chase after it so relentlessly?"

"You should know that it's not an ordinary cat," Zhang Chen said.

"To humans, what's the difference between a cat demon and a cat? They're both livestock."

The man suddenly laughed out loud, "That's right, you young people are still at an age where you have a kind heart, it's normal that you can't stand this kind of thing. You'll understand after you enter society and get a few beatings."

"You can't understand yet how many resources those people and monsters hiding in the shadows have monopolized by joining forces."

"If you studied diligently for decades, and all the patents and papers you researched were put in someone else's name just because that person is the dean's son, would you be willing to accept that? And if you were then made to face difficulties finding a job because of it, would you be willing to accept that?"

"I even drove a taxi. A PhD student... driving a taxi, you know? When I was at my poorest, I had to ease off the gas pedal when driving a taxi downhill."

"Back then, I would even pick up cigarette butts from the ground, wrap them in sections of tissue paper, and roll them up like new cigarettes."

The man took a deep drag on his cigarette, coughed, and said with a wry smile:

"My family has eight members, but now there are only seven graves left."

"An entrepreneur was mining and, in an effort to save money, hired a boar demon to blast the mountain. The mountain was destroyed, and my family was buried. The compensation for each death is only 5,000 yuan, which isn't even enough to cover the cost of repairing the grave."

"A jar of ashes weighs about two kilograms. When I hold it in my hand, it feels as heavy as a mountain."

"So I abandoned my principles, I used connections, I sought powerful backers, and I took back everything that was rightfully mine. What's wrong with that?"

"Are you wondering what all this has to do with that dead cat? Of course it does! I have cancer, cancer... I fought tooth and nail to get where I am today, why should I get cancer? Huh? Why?"

"The cure rate for thyroid cancer is over 90%," Zhang Chen said. "That's no excuse for you to seize it by force."

Upon hearing this, the man stubbed out his cigarette and smiled again:

"I'm over thirty years old. Who knows if I won't get an even more serious illness? I told you, you're still young. You have no idea what it feels like to hear the word 'cancer' in a hospital ward."

"Besides, that cat was mine, it's mine. It turned into a monster when I wasn't looking, can't I just kill it? Can't I make use of it before killing it?"

"It willingly extended your life," Zhang Chen said. "Isn't maintaining your health for half your life enough?"

"It's your greed that's to blame."

"Isn't the will to survive the only natural instinct? It's like I can give you five thousand, but you only want one thousand. What kind of fool are you?" the man mocked.

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards Zhang Chen until he stood right in front of him.

"I don't know how you managed to keep that dead cat alive, but since you came to me, you must be beyond saving, right?"

"Even if you contact the people in the 'company' about this, it won't help. Without other evidence, you can't do anything to me. Even if I go and turn myself in, it won't stand."

"Tomorrow my wife will deliver offerings to your master, and there will be a bank card hidden inside. Consider it hush money for you."

The man patted him on the shoulder, "I can still help you out when you get to college."

Zhang Chen dodged.

"What? Still not convinced? You're just like I was when I was young, thinking you can..."

"Thump!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly clutched his chest and knelt on the ground, his face contorted and veins bulging all over his body.

The man stared intently at him, his eyes filled with disbelief, his voice hoarse as he tried to say something…

Zhang Chen controlled his yang energy, concentrating it at the man's throat to prevent him from making a sound.

I'm too lazy to listen anymore, Zhongdeng is so greasy.

I should have given you a straight answer as soon as we met.

Zhang Chen thought he could pry some secrets out of Zhong Deng.

After all, he couldn't find out anything from Shen Nianxi, nor could he talk to Bai Nuoyan about monsters, and Tu Shan Hansu was also unreliable.

One can hypnotize, one can absorb yang energy, and one is treating him like a corner to be beaten by wood.

The rat demon at the doorstep is also stupid and knows nothing when asked.

I finally ran into a middle-aged man who looked like a villain with a lot of bitterness and hatred, but after talking for a long time, he didn't get to the point.

He only discerned the antisocial personality of a middle-aged man.

Not only did it provide no useful information, it also made him feel increasingly disgusted. Damn it, what a scumbag gigolo.

In summary, he had been caught in the rain, so he wanted to break someone else's umbrella; the dormant beast within him had awakened and gone completely mad.

After committing a crime, he claims to have experienced a tragic life, trying to deceive himself. What's the difference between this and a foot masseuse talking about her family of origin?

A sick mother, a gambling father, a younger brother in school, and a broken woman.

She's such a good girl.

"Ugh..."

The man writhed on the ground, clutching a swollen lump on his neck, a sign of cancer recurrence.

After losing his cat demon destiny, the man's health was naturally also taken away.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen kicked the man in the stomach several more times.

Develop a good habit: remember to finish off the villains.

Just because he doesn't have law enforcement power doesn't mean he can't beat people up.

People who repay kindness with enmity will be trampled by even passing dogs.

"Te".

Finally, before leaving, Zhang Chen used the system to scan outside the door and detected Shen Nianxi's presence.

It was still too late; it's all because Zhongdeng talked too much nonsense.

Seeing the noise at the door growing louder and louder, threatening to break down, Zhang Chen quickly composed himself and went to the door...

Open the door.

He rushed out the door, looking extremely anxious. "Someone's fainted! Someone's fainted in the bathroom! Can someone call an ambulance?"

Zhang Chen shouted, but the hallway remained silent.

Apart from the sound of guns being cocked.

Shen Nianxi stood at the front, pointing a miniature pistol at him, with several uniformed men lying in ambush behind her.

Zhang Chen hadn't expected it to be so professional... This scene really startled him.

Before he could even raise his hands in surrender, the girl grabbed him and pulled him behind her, pinning him firmly against the wall.

It's a bit like a wall slam.

The girl made another gesture, and the others rushed into the restroom to make the arrest.

In an instant, a series of actions resembling those in a police and gangster movie unfolded smoothly.

The next second, Shen Nianxi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him, her cute little face full of doubt. Perhaps because they were too close, her face was a little red.

Zhang Chen had a premonition that he was about to be hypnotized again.

"I..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" Shen Nianxi puffed out her cheeks and snorted irritably.

Immediately, the girl's small hand tapped the back of his neck.

A tremendous force struck, and Zhang Chen lost consciousness.
