What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

The knowledge taught in class was very simple, and he could basically remember it after just a few glances.

If it weren't for exams, the knowledge learned in many subjects would be of little use and would be a pure waste of time.

If possible, An Chen would love to skip all his classes and focus solely on his own things.

As soon as the school bell rang, he quickly packed his things and left.

If nothing unexpected happens, An Chen should be able to see that guy tonight at midnight.

……

"Want to go out for a walk tonight?"

During the meal, Jiuge suddenly spoke up.

They had been spending some time together, but she didn't understand why An Chen hadn't gone out with her to search for the mysterious person.

Chapter 25 What is that thing?

"What are you going out for?" An Chen paused, his hand holding the chopsticks still.

He suddenly remembered the way Jiu Ge, who hadn't fully woken up that morning, grabbed his clothes and talked in her sleep.

"Are we still looking for the mysterious person?"

“Yes, the association issued the task several days ago, but so far, the members have not had any leads.” Jiuge frowned, her expression very serious.

This is very unscientific and illogical.

Although the pseudo-capital was large, it was not so large that association members from other cities would not be able to find anyone even if they came all the way here.

"I think the mysterious person should be fine." An Chen began frantically thinking about how to continue fooling Jiu Ge.

Even if there's no real threat, it's still quite unpleasant if someone you spend every day with is constantly trying to control you.

"Why do you say that?" Jiuge asked, sounding somewhat puzzled.

For some reason, she always felt that An Chen was avoiding the issue.

Jiuge's abilities are strong enough, An Chen also has a strange physique that can scare away spirits, and if all else fails, there's the added bonus of the golden-glowing Zhang Zhidong.

Even if An Chen doesn't want to get involved in troublesome things, he can't just collect money without doing any work, right?

"You see, Zhang Zhidong has always been working hard around us to contribute to the physical and mental health of the spirits and to justice in the mortal world, and resolutely resists any problems that may harm society."

There was no going back to a perfunctory explanation, so An Chen began to analyze the situation in detail.

“But I’ve never seen him before.” Jiuge nodded and then gently shook her head.

"That's because Zhang Zhidong was kind-hearted both before and after his death. He noticed that you were afraid of spirits, so he didn't want to scare you." An Chen smiled and picked up a piece of food.

“But…” Even so, Jiuge found it hard to accept the conclusion that the mysterious person was harmless.

She could accept that Zhang Zhidong was kind-hearted, righteous, and deliberately didn't want to scare her.

"Zhang Zhidong has been glorious for half a year now. During this half year, he has been working diligently and conscientiously, not letting any spirit with evil intentions escape, and focusing on rectifying the atmosphere of the pseudo-capital spirit world."

Even so, he only governs spirits, not people.

Jiuge retorted.

The association clearly stated that the person who made the deal with the spirit was a genius, belonging to the human category.

Humans are not under Zhang Zhidong's jurisdiction now.

“A spirit that makes deals with people must have some unresolved wish or obsession. Given Zhang Zhidong’s influence, there must be countless spirits going to him.”

An Chen added another bowl of rice to his bowl. "Judging from the time your association issued the mission, the mysterious person must have appeared recently. We also only recently met Zhang Zhidong. If there are any problems or threats, he will definitely tell us, after all, there are only three association members in the pseudo-capital."

"That makes sense, but we can't rule out the possibility that Zhang Zhidong didn't discover this."

Jiuge put down her bowl and chopsticks and wiped her mouth.

Association members from other cities came all the way here, but they couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked.

The fact that evil spirits can be dealt with quickly, yet a living person cannot be found, indicates that the mysterious person possesses great abilities.

"Then let's ask Zhang Zhidong directly."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Jiuge, An Chen resorted to his trump card.

"?"

Upon hearing An Chen's words, Jiu Ge looked around in a panic.

Mao Mao Tou is currently under Zhang Zhidong's care. If Zhang Zhidong comes out, Mao Mao Tou will definitely come out with him.

Thinking about this, she got goosebumps all over again.

"Let's leave it at that for today, we'll ask again next time."

As if she hadn't seen An Chen's hesitant expression, as if he wanted to explain, Jiu Ge suddenly stood up.

Because of her exaggerated movements, the stool creaked twice in succession.

Purely out of fear that the little hairy boy might suddenly appear, she turned and walked upstairs.

Perhaps she was walking too fast, because she almost tripped over a piece of candy rolling on the steps.

Blushing, Jiu Ge turned back to look at An Chen; she had completely lost the desire to pet the cat.

She took the handrail down the stairs and quickly returned to her room.

With a "bang!", the door was slammed shut.

The night is deep, and the stars are shining brightly.

After taking a shower, An Chen changed into a black outfit, slightly obscuring his scent.

He opened the window and jumped out with practiced ease.

As An Chen jumped out of the window more and more, his light-footed skills became more and more impressive.

This time, when I went down, I didn't even disturb the few fallen leaves on the ground.

After leaving the community and turning a few corners, An Chen found a new place without cameras.

After waiting quietly with my arms crossed for a moment, the surrounding temperature suddenly rose.

"What did you say you wanted to tell me?"

As the sound rang out, Zhang Zhidong fell from the sky.

"I need your help with something," An Chen said.

“That’s right! Go ahead and say it!” Zhang Zhidong stared intently at An Chen with wide, bright eyes.

Unexpectedly, this young man was quite enthusiastic about impersonating someone else; every time he came out at night, his aura was different from before.

Just like the thousand-faced witch in the TV series.

Where's Mao Mao Tou?

Although he couldn't sense the presence of the little creature, An Chen still cautiously glanced around.

Kids shouldn't participate in conversations between adults.

"This is a conversation between men! It has nothing to do with that brat!" Zhang Zhidong said emphatically, as if he had guessed what An Chen was thinking.

He touched the badge on his police cap and a big smile spread across his face.

“I made him memorize the police handbook at my brother’s house! I told him he wasn’t allowed to rest until he finished memorizing it! As the junior I’m mentoring, he should take over my position!”

Thinking of the way Mao Mao recited his lessons with tears in his eyes, An Chen couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

No matter what, he was just a four-year-old child, and he would pass away and be reincarnated after his mother became pregnant with their second child.

An Chen moved his lips, but decided not to tell the excited Zhang Zhidong any of this.

"I hope you can help me investigate the Phantom secretly. It's a pure black humanoid figure that rarely appears in the world."

When Phantom was mentioned, his expression couldn't help but show a hint of anger.

"Understood! I'll keep an eye out for you!" Zhang Zhidong nodded cheerfully.

Judging from the description, that thing doesn't seem like anything good.

Based on the spirits I've encountered in the past six months, there's definitely nothing this strange among them.

Thank you.

Seeing that Zhang Zhidong agreed so readily, An Chen didn't say anything more.

He shrugged and decided to try another place.

"Oh, right! There's one more question I want to ask you!"

Looking at An Chen's retreating figure, Zhang Zhidong asked loudly.

"what?"

An Chen turned around, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Do you know that thing that's hiding far away, watching us the whole time? It's obviously not a good guy."

As he spoke, the golden light emanating from Zhang Zhidong seemed to ignite, and the surrounding temperature soared upwards.

Chapter 26 What am I to you?

An Chen was slightly surprised when she heard Zhang Zhidong's words.

"As expected of a benchmark and pillar of the spirit world, his intuition is very sharp."

He gave a wry smile, not expecting Zhang Zhidong to have such a strong intuition.

Not long after arriving here, An Chen spotted a dark-colored figure hiding in the distance beside the green belt.

In his judgment, that guy's method of concealing his presence was extremely skillful, and he shouldn't have been so easily discovered.

"This guy is my bait. If possible, I hope you can let him go for now."

He had specifically sought out Qin Ye in order to summon it as soon as possible, and he had been looking forward to it for a long time these past two days.

"Are you sure that leaving it alone right now won't cause any major problems?"
