Three days later.

Dunith Agency.

Li Cheng Yi sat on the boss's chair, spinning around and around, listening to the sounds of office workers buying breakfast at the newsstand downstairs. For a moment, he felt a sense of leisure and peace.

He once again routinely sensed the location of the Flower Whisper Bead, which was still suspended in the air of the study in this agency.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to acquire this place and investigate the surrounding situation.

Reverse Tracing couldn't be used here, and the summoning of the Flower Whisper Bead had also lost its effect.

The last remaining aura was right here, two meters in front of the position where he was sitting.

It was Pan En's Flower Whisper Bead aura.

Li Cheng Yi suspected that there was an entrance to an unknown space or blind spot here, but because it was too hidden and for some other special reasons, he couldn't capture it.

But the aura was still there, and the location was still here. As long as he waited and investigated what had happened here before, he should be able to find a clue.

As for what to do while waiting?

Of course, cultivate the Thousand Faces Sword Manual and research the building summoning ability of the Evil Flower.

With twelve Flower Whisper abilities in his possession, constantly evolving all the flowers to their ultimate form was what he needed to do.

On the surface, taking on simple task commissions to figure out the details of this place could also be considered a simple adjustment.

As for those monsters in ordinary cities... wait until their speed reaches the speed of sound.

"Boss, I brought my other daughter, Alan, here. This place needs someone to help with cleaning. I thought it wouldn't be safe to leave her alone at home, so..."

Outside the room that served as both a study and an office, Dunith walked in with a calm, long-haired girl wearing a black shawl.

"It's okay, ensuring the safety of employees is one of the benefits I provide as the boss." Li Cheng Yi turned his chair and sized up the two who entered.

After being tidied up, Dunith had finally regained the capable and calm demeanor of a normal middle-aged hunter. His muscular build looked solid, which could give clients a strong sense of security and trust.

Overall, he would be a good employee.

As for the other one...

Black hair, red eyes, and white skin, she looked like a cool and glamorous beauty. Her slender figure, about one meter seventy in height, made her appear tall and well-proportioned.

She wore a long red and black plaid skirt and a white women's shirt, with a dark red corsage pinned to her collar and a matching dark red hair clip in her hair.

But strangely, the girl's eyes when she looked at him were wary and repulsed.

Repulsed?

Li Cheng Yi was a little puzzled. Logically, he was her protector, so why would she be repulsed? How did this emotion arise?

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Nilan Elte. Thank you for allowing me to work here." The girl took a step forward and bowed seriously to Li Cheng Yi.

"The salary is five thousand, and you have to clean all three floors of the basement. Is that okay?" Li Cheng Yi said casually.

"Leave it to me," Nilan said confidently.

"That's good, go out," Li Cheng Yi waved his hand.

The rest of the miscellaneous tasks could be arranged by Dunith. Next, he had to thoroughly understand this place.

Taking out a stack of newspapers he had bought this morning, Li Cheng Yi began to take notes carefully, summarizing the information.

There was no daily use of computers here, and it was still in the era when computers were just starting, so newspapers were the most important way to obtain information.

'The old city renovation project officially starts today.'

'Provincial Security Minister Rudy Billert's inspection tour arrived at Weida Company and began a three-day food safety inspection.'

'The beauty of my hometown - exploring the ancient ruins of Ludian.'

'The national large-scale magic show "Wings of the Sun" will soon open ticket sales in this city.'

'The major 11.2 drug trafficking case was successfully arrested all those involved yesterday.'

Li Cheng Yi skipped over one piece of useful and useless news after another. He got up and found a federal map on the bookshelf in the room.

Opening it, he found the local city of Ludian.

Soon, an irregular city map resembling a dough appeared before him.

Five districts, with the new and old districts alternating, for the metabolism of the entire city.

The total permanent population of Ludian last year was seven million six hundred and fifty thousand. It was supported by three surrounding major agricultural counties, providing the entire city with food supplies.

Putting down the map, Li Cheng Yi got up and walked to the window, looking down.

Casually taking out a yellow crystal bead and playing with it, he carefully recalled the records he had read before.

'There are a lot of people in the Mingyuan Group. If you want to leave all of them, it will definitely cause a stir, and it is highly likely that they will be seen by the surrounding people.'

He straightened his collar, turned around and left the room, and went downstairs.

Then, pretending to be strolling, he walked to the old department store across the street.

Picking and choosing on the shelves, he took a piece of chocolate. When he checked out, he sized up the old lady who was collecting the money.

"Auntie, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?" The old lady, with her hair curled, was holding a small mirror and drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Hearing the voice, she casually replied without raising her head.

"Has anything big happened in this area in the past few years? Like a lot of people coming?"

"A few years? Do you think I can remember things that happened so long ago a few years ago?" The old lady raised her head and gave him a white look.

But the moment she raised her head and saw Li Cheng Yi's face, the impatience on her face softened.

"But, thinking about it carefully, it seems that a lot of people came here to film a movie or something two years ago. They were dressed strangely," she added.

"If you remember filming a movie, do you remember which film company it was and what their names were?" Li Cheng Yi asked again.

On the other side, outside the iron fence at the back door of the agency, a shiny bug-eyed car slowly slowed down and stopped at the back door exit.

The car door opened, and two men in black suits, top hats, and sunglasses that completely covered their bodies stepped out.

"Is this the place?" The taller of the two raised his head and looked at the situation inside the agency through his sunglasses.

"Yes. To be able to break free from the mental suggestion on the invitation, it seems that this former hunter still has some skills."

"I heard that this place was sold a few days ago, sold to a foreigner. Dunith himself didn't leave, and he's still working here," the taller man said in a low voice.

"Then we'll take him away together. According to the Daylight Protocol, he broke the rules first, so we have the right to dispose of his body and blood relatives."

"It's really... it's been a long time since I've tasted such high-quality blood food! I can't wait! That wonderful fragrance..."

The two casually pushed open the locked back door. The copper lock was like tofu in their hands, with no sense of existence.

Walking into the back garden, Dunith had already noticed the movement in advance and was holding a pistol, looking down from the second floor.

The moment he saw the two, his expression changed drastically. He held his breath and quickly turned around to find his daughter Nilan, who was cleaning the mop.

"Alan, quickly go to the front door and find the boss! The Crescent people are here! Tell him to use whatever connections he has and activate them quickly!" Dunith said rapidly.

Nilan saw the seriousness in her father's expression, dropped the mop and turned to run.

Bang.

At this moment, the glass door of the back garden was opened. The wind chimes hanging on the door made a crisp sound, reminding someone of entry.

After Dunith sent his daughter away, he took a deep breath, gripped his pistol, stood in the corridor on the second floor, and stared fixedly at the wooden stairs leading upstairs.

Waiting for the other party to come upstairs.

"I hope everything is okay... I hope it's in time!" He constantly calmed the beating of his heart, recalling the scenes of fighting those non-human beings when he was a hunter.

The blood seemed to be accelerating and surging throughout his body again.

On the other side.

Nilan ran downstairs breathlessly and found Li Cheng Yi who had walked out of the small shop.

"The Crescent people are here?" Li Cheng Yi was stunned, "So what if they're here? They wouldn't dare to do anything in broad daylight, would they? There are so many people around."

"You don't know what the Crescent is?? What it represents!?" Nilan was stunned for a moment, looking at him with disbelief.

"What? If they really take action, just go back and get rid of them, wouldn't that be fine?" Li Cheng Yi said inexplicably.

He had naturally sensed the approach of the two, but those two were just a little stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical fitness. Ant-like guys, not much stronger than Dunith.

Moreover, Dunith had a gun on him. If they really fought, those two would not be his opponents.

This was also the main reason why Li Cheng Yi was not flustered.

"The Crescent is also a member of the Daylight Council!! My father accidentally violated the rules before, and according to the rules, he wouldn't dare to take action! Otherwise, it would be resisting arrest!" Nilan was so anxious that she was almost on fire, seeing that Li Cheng Yi still had a calm expression.

"Dare not take action? Why?" Li Cheng Yi asked in confusion.

"Because taking action is illegal! You can only exert pressure on the Crescent from above. They are part of the forces that support the Daylight Protocol, representing the order under the sun. Fighting against them is fighting against the government. The police and the army will only stand on their side." Nilan quickly explained, sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Okay, I see, Dunith doesn't dare to take action, right? Then I'll do it," Li Cheng Yi said nonchalantly.

"This is not a matter of taking action! Don't mess around! If you violate the rules, you will not be protected by the official hunters! Do you even know common sense?!" Nilan was anxious and angry.

Li Cheng Yi was too lazy to pay attention to her and went back directly.

But he only took a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go back, but the two people suddenly stopped inexplicably, then quickly retreated and left in the direction they came from.

Turning around, he saw Nilan biting her lip tightly, her pretty face pale, her eyes fixed on a white gold-trimmed car parked on the side of the road in the distance.

Through the glass in the back row of the car, he could see a girl with a purple-black ponytail wearing a white dress sitting inside. The girl had a gentle and noble temperament, and gestured to Nilan from afar that she had handled it.

"What are you looking at me for!? Go back quickly!" Nilan came back to her senses, almost feeling exposed, and immediately said angrily.

"I suddenly don't want to go back. I believe Mr. Dunith can solve this little trouble," Li Cheng Yi smiled and slowly walked away along the street.

It could be seen that this Nilan also had her own secrets, and it was likely that they were secrets that she had not shared with her father.

No wonder the look in her eyes when she first saw him was not closeness, but wariness and repulsion.

But Li Cheng Yi was not interested in these things. Since it was resolved, then it was fine.

"You!!?" Nilan stamped her feet in anger, gave a thank you gesture to her partner in the car, and quickly returned to the agency.

If her father hadn't insisted on bringing her to apply for the job, how could she have come to this place to clean!?

That bastard boss, he thought he had some skills, but in the end, the bragging was earth-shattering, and when it came to actually taking action, he didn't even dare to go back home!
