Once, I wanted to be a good person

So, Miaomiao has been both afraid and worried these past few days.

She feared she would be beaten just as badly.

Worried... because she hadn't stood up, she might harm the people of the two streets...

Especially the street she lived on, where the neighbors were so kind.

If they suffered such humiliation and beatings because of her, she might never have peace of mind for the rest of her life...

She had absolutely no idea what to do.

So, all day today, she had been silently praying that Mr. Devil would give her guidance...

And somehow, whether Mr. Devil really heard her prayers or not.

When she opened her eyes from her sleep, she truly saw that "all-powerful" "Mr. Devil"...

....

Seeing Miaomiao again, Fang Ze was startled.

It had only been two days, but he could tell that Miaomiao looked much more haggard.

She was already malnourished and frail. With her pallid face, she seemed like she could be blown away with a puff of wind.

What happened to this girl?

Why had she suddenly become like this?

Although he felt a bit worried, Fang Ze knew his "identity" at the moment, so he did not express it directly. Instead, he silently observed Miaomiao, sensing her emotions, trying to use "listening to the inner voice" to figure out what exactly was wrong with her...

Perhaps it was because she felt aggrieved and scared inside that upon seeing "Mr. Devil," Miaomiao seemed to have found her backbone, her eyes instantly reddening.

She knelt on the ground, her head bowed, and large tears "plop plop" fell down...

Without her having to say anything, Fang Ze roughly learned of the whole affair from her inner voice.

'Shadow Warrior silencing, also robbing the shop...'

'Gangs encircling the street...'

'Time limit to step forward or else they will capture people house by house?'

Listening to Miaomiao's inner voice, Fang Ze was a bit surprised for a moment: Stop! Wasn't it Miaomiao herself who led people to rob the grocery store?

So it was the Shadow Warrior himself who did it?

So there's no small whip, no Zorro mask, and no contrasting Miaomiao?

Fang Ze felt a bit disappointed...

However... what's the deal with gangs robbing, killing, and capturing people from the streets?

Are the gangs in this world so audacious?

Doesn't the Investigation Bureau care?

Fang Ze, who grew up in better times, found it hard to understand.

But... after thinking it over, he felt perhaps Miaomiao was over-worrying?

While the Shadow Warrior might be a bit weak and not up against Awakeners, they are more than capable against the ordinary.

With the protection of Nv Dao, there is no need to worry about Miaomiao's safety, right?

Thinking this, he thought over his words carefully, then looked down at Miaomiao from his superior position, and in a low, husky voice he said, "I heard your call today and understand your worries."

"But you can rest assured."

"The Clone of the Shadow Warrior I entrusted to you is more than capable of dealing with this crisis."

"To her, those gang members are nothing but a mob."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao, with tearful eyes, looked up, slightly bewildered, and said, "Miss Monster?"

She said softly, "So Miss Monster is really that powerful..."

She bowed to Fang Ze, "Thank you, Mr. Devil. Then I'll rest assured."

She lay on the ground, weakly explaining, "It was just me being too anxious."

"I heard the gang has three or four Awakeners, and a dozen Martial Artists, and even weapons like revolvers."

"Today, even the people from the Investigation Bureau, only dared to come in and investigate after they had communicated with them first."

"So, I was always worried that Miss Monster couldn't handle it."

"Mr. Devil, forgive my ignorance. I should have had faith in Miss Monster's strength."

Upon hearing Miaomiao's words, Fang Ze, seated on the sofa, was stunned for a moment!

The sack on the bridge!

Well, well.

A gang with Awakeners? Martial Artists, and even firearms?!

Even the Investigation Bureau needs to communicate with them before investigating the slums?!

Is this a gang?

Mexico would shout that it has found its peers!

Fang Ze felt a bit dazed.

And when he thought about how he had just told Miaomiao not to worry and to let the Shadow Warrior handle it, he suddenly felt uneasy.

If the gang was just ordinary thugs and Martial Artists, then indeed, the Shadow Warrior would have no problems dealing with them.

But if there were Awakeners among them, then the Shadow Warrior would have difficulty coping.

Moreover, since the adversaries had firearms, Fang Ze wasn't sure if the Shadow Warrior could protect Miaomiao under gunfire.

With that thought, Fang Ze felt doomed.

However, as "Mr. Devil," his word had already been spoken; he certainly couldn't backtrack now.

So he racked his brain, trying to think of a remedy.

After a moment, he coughed lightly, then with an unconcerned tone, he said, "Your concerns about what you said are unnecessary, but I suddenly thought that if the Shadow Warrior goes on a killing spree, wouldn't it affect your life?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao was stunned.

Then she bowed her head, saying softly, "Yes."

Fang Ze, leaning his cheek on his hand, said, "I see... then in that case... let's not have the Shadow Warrior handle this for now."

Hearing Mr. Devil's words, Miaomiao couldn't help but ask softly, "Then how should we deal with it... Mr. Devil?"

Fang Ze said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone else to handle it..."

"Just as well, I've developed a few Believers in your area. Maybe I can get them to stretch their legs a bit...."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Miaomiao, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped her tears and looked up at Fang Ze with teary eyes, then sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Devil."

After speaking, she lowered her head again and said softly, "I'm sorry. I always cause trouble for you...."

Fang Ze hummed a response, saying, "Who told you to be my servant?"

It was just a casual remark. But after he said the word "servant," Fang Ze couldn't help but recall the large, soft, wonderful feeling of the last time Miaomiao gave him a massage. His heart skipped a few beats involuntarily.

Miaomiao seemed to recall it too, and her face, still looking down, suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and unease....

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat strange for a moment....

Seeing this, Fang Ze knew he couldn't go on like this any longer, so he gathered his thoughts and said coldly, "Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back first."

"I will have someone take care of this matter properly."

Hearing Mr. Devil's words, Miaomiao came back to her senses, knelt on the ground, and softly hummed a "Hmm," again expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Mr. Devil...."

Fang Ze waved his hand indifferently, then dissolved the connection.

Watching Miaomiao's fading figure, Fang Ze fell into contemplation....

Although he appeared confident in front of Miaomiao,

in reality... he had no good solutions.

The other party had given them three days. Now one day had passed. Only two days remained.

And the other party still had three or four Awakeners, over ten Martial Artists, and even firearms.

This force... not even the Investigation Bureau could handle it. How was he to deal with it within two days?

Fang Ze couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

And if he just gave up and let Miaomiao fend for herself, he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

After all, she was not only obedient and utterly trusting, making her his first "Believer," but this whole situation had also arisen because of him.

Besides, she was his "Goddess of Luck," helping him achieve great results in every investigation.

So, both emotionally and rationally, Fang Ze couldn't abandon her.

With that in mind, Fang Ze massaged his temples, feeling the headache, and decided to take things one step at a time.

If it really came down to it, even at the risk of exposing his identity, he was willing to let the Shadow Warrior help her escape under the cover of night rather than abandon her...

Thinking this, Fang Ze removed the disguise from the Late-Night Investigation Room and then started looking over today's "harvest."

His gaze fell on the table where there was a new palm-sized cloth bag.

The bag looked similar to the one Fang Ze had given to Little Bai Ling before he left.

Picking up the bag and fiddling with it, he couldn't detect anything special about it.

Fang Ze hesitated: Could it be... that the Goddess of Luck is no longer effective?

As he pondered this, he opened the bag and peeked inside.

"Huh? There's something inside?"

Thinking this, Fang Ze curiously reached his hand in and fished around.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Inside were seeds the size of watermelon seeds, cool to the touch, somewhat hard, and slightly rough on the surface.

Fang Ze picked one up and observed it. It was a strange "6" shape, like a sprouting watermelon seed.

"What's this?"

As Fang Ze was wondering,

information about the object slowly surfaced in his mind....

"Extraordinary Plant: Qingfeng Seed"

"Plant this seed and water it with just a bowl of water, and it will germinate, grow, and bloom into a Windbreeze Flower...."

"Bring an item tainted with a certain creature's scent close to the Windbreeze Flower, and the flower will transform into a breeze that seeks out that person, allowing you to establish communication...."

"The farther the contact, the longer the time it will take to establish the communication. A Windbreeze Flower can only establish communication with one person, and you can only communicate from the flower's location....."

Recalling the information about the item in his mind, Fang Ze was stunned.

It seemed like a very amazing plant?

Once planted, it allows for finding people and communication... It seems very useful?

The only problem is.....

For the current crisis with Miaomiao, this thing is utterly useless!

Damn!

While internally ranting, Fang Ze counted the seeds in the bag.

There were a total of three seeds, which meant he could establish communication with three people.

"I wonder if the Windbreeze Flower can bear new seeds...."

"If it can bear seeds from flowers, and those seeds bloom into more flowers, and flowers keep producing seeds without end, that would be great...."

While dreaming about this, Fang Ze carefully packed the three Qingfeng Seeds away.

With the day's investigation complete, all that remained was to perform safety experiments....

........

Meanwhile, as Fang Ze was conducting safety experiments in the Late-Night Investigation Room,

a man dressed in green was racing through the dark jungle.

His speed was incredibly fast, and the trees in the jungle seemed to obey his commands, automatically making way for him.

In fact, as he rushed by, distant trees would stretch out their branches and vines to hook him, accelerating his momentum forward...

In the forest, he was like a sprite of nature, a shepherd of the trees, all-powerful.....

If Fang Ze were here, he would certainly recognize him as one of the three powerful Awakeners behind the tragic annihilation of a wealthy merchant family.
