Online: I Can See Health Bars

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Bie Huzi was taken aback.

"Lord, Thunder City is too far, our reach doesn't extend that far..."

Before Bie Huzi could finish, Fang Yu stared him down with his eyes, silencing him.

"We've raised so many Little Demons, not for nothing. To think we can't even send someone to gather information, what's the use of keeping them?"

Bie Huzi quickly bowed and said, "Lord, I understand what to do now."

"Mmm."

Fang Yu lightly touched his arm.

The [Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling: Broken Sleeve], wound around his arm through the clothes.

It seems that the absorption efficiency of the Evil Qi has diminished further this time.

It seems necessary to ask around now, lest we capsize in the gutter.

Taking a deep breath, he turned and left.

Bie Huzi hurriedly followed, holding the lamp to lead the way in front.

Handling the mess can wait, serving the master is the priority.

Only after Fang Yu left the pharmacy did Bie Huzi start arranging for his subordinates to gather information on the Six Ghost Path Rats and prepare people for a trip to Thunder City.

Having made the arrangements, he returned to the secret chamber to deal with the body.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu was already on his way to the Foolish Underworld.

This time, his target was to meet the Lord Hall Masters directly.

Having promoted himself to Demon Foot, it was time for the Foolish Underworld to show their hand.

If those old fools don't yield Gold Coins, it's really difficult for me, as [Qi] is too hard to comprehend alone.

However, as soon as Fang Yu returned to the Foolish Underworld, someone was already waiting for him at the entrance.

[Han Mengyu: 500/500.]

"Mr. Diao..."

Fang Yu was slightly surprised and also felt a bit of irony.

The ranking officer he used to address as Lord had now changed positions with him.

"Han Mengyu, what are you doing at the entrance?"

"Mr. Diao, thieves were spotted in your residence yesterday. I led the team to pursue them unsuccessfully, and during the subsequent search, we discovered that the individual had mysteriously disappeared."

Fang Yu frowned.

"I'm already aware of this, you don't need to worry about it anymore, I will personally lead the search."

Staging his own play should ensure nothing goes wrong, bringing him here would indeed risk uncovering something.

Fang Yu intended to gloss over the matter, but Han Mengyu spoke up.

"Mr. Diao, although I didn't find anything, during my investigation, I discovered that the individual vanished as if into thin air, leaving no trace."

"Some rumors suggest that a demon was spotted around Shiheng Street—I suspect... that person transformed into a demon. Now injured, they are hiding near Shiheng Street and preying on people. This explains everything!"

"If you wish to thoroughly investigate, I am willing to lead the team, alongside other ranking officers, to encircle Shiheng Street and search for this demon!"

Fang Yu was slightly taken aback in his heart.

Han Mengyu had reached such conclusions?

Lately, have I been too focused on status over competence? Sometimes, the ability to handle matters doesn't correlate much with vitality or power.

Fortunately, Han Mengyu was cautious, worried about the demon's strength and didn't act alone. Instead, he came to report and apply for a joint operation, probably also hoping for me to oversee the demon hunt. Otherwise, by this morning, Han Mengyu might have discovered me on Shiheng Street...

Clearing his throat, Fang Yu spoke.

"Merely having a demon spotted at Shiheng Street and deducing it's the thief might be a bit hasty. However, the information you've provided is indeed valuable. Let's skip the joint operation, it would attract too much attention. I'll personally investigate first, so as not to alert them prematurely."

Han Mengyu's deduction was indeed based on years of experience and intuition, not daring to claim it was 100% accurate, so he didn't refute Fang Yu's statement and just nodded.

"If you, Lord, would personally take action, that would certainly be best. Even if we ranking officers could capture the demon, casualties would likely occur."

Fang Yu nodded slightly, showing understanding, and was about to leave when Han Mengyu suddenly said.

"Lord!"

"What is it?"

"...Lord Li Baizhen, how is he doing?"

Han Mengyu was looking down, so his exact expression couldn't be seen, but from the slight trembling in his shoulders, he appeared somewhat afraid of the answer.

So, aside from myself, others in the Foolish Underworld care about Lord Li Baizhen's situation?

But... I remember you didn't quite get along with Lord Li Baizhen.

Fang Yu scratched his head and said.

"The situation is still unclear; Ding Hui is still treating him. I will inform you if there are any new developments."

"...Thank you, Lord!"

Han Mengyu bowed deeply at ninety degrees, watching as Fang Yu walked away.

Just as he left Han Mengyu, Fang Yu heard someone calling from behind.

"Diao, Diao Deyi!"

In the Foolish Underworld, not many called him by his name.

Fang Yu turned around to see it was Suo Fengxiang.

Suo Fengxiang looked haggard, seemingly troubled, and although she stopped Fang Yu, she seemed distracted.

"Senior Sister Suo, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Suo Fengxiang then managed a strained smile.

"Nothing much, it's just... I can't find Senior Brother You."

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

I almost forgot about that [Evil Leopard Demon], who was caught in yesterday's demon battle.

The [Evil Leopard Demon] is actually replacing You Shuyang.

Strictly speaking, You's disappearance happened quite a long time ago...

Fang Yu reassured her.

"Maybe Senior Brother You has gone off on some business again."

"It can't be, right? Even someone as strong as Senior Brother You would rest for a few days after completing a task before taking on another."

Fang Yu shrugged.

"I'm not sure, perhaps it's Lady Zhuo Xueer or someone upper rank who's assigned him a secret mission."
