A heretical cultivator in Bureau 749, I'm the fiercest at pulling out tendons and skinning peop

Ji Zuodao's gaze shifted from the "mini tongue-pulling hell scene" on the ground to the white-clad woman who had been standing quietly in the corner of the alley.

The woman in white subconsciously straightened her already ramrod straight back, and the pale white bone sword in her hand melted back into her palm.

His posture was as upright as a primary school student facing an inspection by his superiors.

Ji Zuodao didn't waste any words, immediately launching into a standard procedure, his voice carrying a businesslike tone in the empty alley:

"Name."

"Bai San Niang".

"gender."

"female."

"Race."

"The original body was the remains of an unknown Qi cultivator. By chance, it absorbed the essence of the moon and the yin of the earth, and attained enlightenment and wisdom."

According to the current "Classification and Management Measures for Non-Human Intelligent Organisms", it belongs to the "Demon Spirit Family - Bone System - Humanoid Subspecies".

She recited a string of official classifications fluently as if reciting from memory, even adding, "There are officially registered ones."

Ji Zuodao raised an eyebrow. Hey, they're quite cooperative. He continued, "ID card."

Bai San Niang immediately stretched out her pale but slender hand, palm facing upwards, a faint light flashing within it.

Two thin cards appeared out of thin air in her hand.

She presented it with both hands, her movements meticulous:

"In response to the investigator, this is my resident ID card in human society, issued by the Yuehai District Police Station of Jinghai City, with the number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX."

"This is my 'Monster ID Card' and 'Special Talent Employment Permit,' issued by the Monster Management and Employment Guidance Section of the 749 Branch of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau, with the number 749-JH-妖A-0387. Holding this permit allows me to legally work and reside within the prescribed scope, and enjoy some social security benefits."

She paused, then added, her tone even carrying a hint of pride that said, "I'm a law-abiding citizen":

"On the day I gained enlightenment, my inspiration leaked out and was promptly discovered and taken into custody by investigators from Bureau 749 who were on patrol nearby. Since then, I have been receiving social education and vocational skills training at the bureau. I have a firm political stance, a positive attitude, and no record of any illegal or disciplinary violations."

"Last year, after being assessed and recommended by the bureau, I am now a specially appointed body shaping consultant in the Department of Medical Cosmetology at the Third People's Hospital of Jinghai City."

"We primarily assist in handling or repairing skeletal deformities that are difficult to resolve using conventional methods. We have formal employment contracts and pay taxes in accordance with the law."

Ji Zuodao looked at her earnest expression, which seemed to suggest she was a "pure and upright monster," and his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

He took the two ID cards, first picking up the ordinary human ID card and looking at it. The address, issuing authority, and so on seemed fine.

Then, he picked up the more important monster ID card.

The card is neither gold nor jade, and feels slightly cool to the touch. The front features a half-body portrait of Bai San Niang, with her name, race, number, and issuing authority below.

The back features anti-counterfeiting symbols and precautions.

Ji Zuodao took out the mobile phone issued by the bureau from his pocket, opened the special APP, brought up the scanning function, and aimed it at a special spiritual pattern on the back of the card.

"Beep".

With a soft click, the phone screen lit up green, displaying a verification message and quickly scrolling through a portion of Bai San Niang's file summary.

[Verification passed]

Name: Bai San Niang

[Race: White Bone Demon]

[Registered by: Jinghai Branch of Bureau 749]

Current Status: Employed (Jinghai City Third People's Hospital)

[Negative Records: None]

[Note: Law-abiding, pays taxes on time, and enthusiastic about public welfare; assisted our bureau in cracking the "Painted Skin Ghost Beauty Salon Illegal Medical Practice Case" in [Month, Year], and was awarded the title of "Good Citizen" once.]

Ji Zuodao stared at the note on the screen that read "obey the law and pay taxes on time," and a sense of indescribable loss suddenly welled up in his heart.

He clicked his tongue and muttered something under his breath, his voice filled with genuine regret:

"Tsk...it's actually true."

"And he's a model monster..."

"What a pity."

He genuinely felt it was a pity.

If it were a restless, unregistered, or even just a wild demon with an arrogant attitude, he would probably already be discussing with Master Dog what ingredients to put in the bone broth.

Now?

They had all the necessary documents and a proper attitude, yet they were still considered "outcasts."

How can we even begin?

The dog beside it seemed to understand as well. The light in its eyes quickly dimmed, and it smacked its lips, somewhat dejectedly resting its head back on its front paws, muttering something under its breath:

"Boring."

Ji Zuodao sighed, handed the two ID cards back to Bai Sanniang, who was standing like a model soldier, and waved his hand, indicating that she could relax.

Then, he crossed his arms again and asked the crucial question:

"Alright, Bai San... cough cough, Miss Bai."

"Now, tell me."

He raised his chin and pointed to the red-haired foreigner who had almost stopped moving.

"How did you get into a fight with this... thing?"

"Please provide a detailed account of the cause and effect."

Bai San Niang took her ID card with both hands, carefully put it away, and stood up straight again. When she heard Ji Zuodao's question, her pale and delicate face became even more solemn.

She took a deep breath and then spoke clearly and calmly, each word carrying a cold, businesslike quality:

"Reporting to the investigator, I'm filing a report."

She raised a slender, white finger, pointing to the red-haired foreigner who was nearly driven to unconsciousness by the hungry ghosts, her tone resolute:

"This foreign non-human being is suspected of long-term, organized cross-border human trafficking, as well as the illegal imprisonment and abuse of various intelligent non-human beings."

"Human trafficking?! Live human experimentation?!"

Ji Zuodao's slight disappointment at being unable to generate revenue due to the other party's strict adherence to the law was instantly dispelled by these two words.

His eyes lit up instantly.

He subconsciously licked his dry lips and muttered a curse under his breath:

"Oh shit……"

"It seems like we've caught a big fish this time!"

Even if these cases don't involve the supernatural realm, they would still be major cases in Jinghai. If they do involve the supernatural realm, then the waters in these cases run very deep.

This line of work is usually not done by a lone wolf; it often involves complex transnational networks, hidden channels for selling stolen goods, and a group of desperate criminals willing to take risks for huge profits.

In industry jargon, this is called a "supply chain".

The characteristic of the industrial chain is that pulling out the radish brings out the mud along with it!

Once you catch one, you can often follow the clues and uncover a whole string of others!

If we're lucky, we might be able to raid a hideout and rescue a batch of "goods," and the credit and bonus would be...

Ji Zuodao could almost see Director Zhang's warm smile as he approved the notes, and the kind look in the eyes of the finance department lady as she counted the money.

He forcefully suppressed the restlessness in his heart, took half a step forward, lowered his voice, but carried an undeniable urgency:

"Explain in detail!"

"Time, place, method, victim's characteristics, and how you bumped into them? The more details the better!"

"This is a major case! Miss Bai, your chance to make a contribution has arrived!"

Ji Zuodao didn't forget to offer a pie in the sky for this good citizen across the street.
