Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 1620 - 1621: Patrol

After getting quite a few files from Ye Hanlei, Feng Yuan didn’t have Liao Yu lead a team; he just took the data and set off. To this, Liao Yu could only shake his head helplessly. Strictly speaking, Feng Yuan’s actions were a bit against the rules, as he was the one who accepted the academy’s mission, meaning he was essentially supervising himself now.

However, since this was a task for the Special Duty Team, no one paid much attention to it. Finding someone to help complete a task isn’t easy, not to mention that not everyone has the qualifications to perform Special Duty Team tasks alone, and there’s a high demand on strength.

"Shouldn’t we have someone from the Special Duty Team follow for supervision?"

Following Feng Yuan out of the Special Duty Team, Qi Chen asked worriedly. Feng Yuan shook his head and said,

"No need. My credentials allow me to execute the task alone. It was just previously that I wanted to ensure everything was done according to the regulations. But now, I can’t be bothered to find someone unfamiliar and make myself uncomfortable."

From Liao Yu’s side, he definitely didn’t plan to have him tag along. After all, without Huo Feng, they were a man short for a full team task. Although their team had other members to help, the main force consisted of Liao Yu and two others, and missing one of them would surely impact their efficiency.

If he were to strictly follow the rules, he could only have someone else dispatched from the Special Duty Team, but strangers... Feng Yuan wasn’t used to them.

"I didn’t expect Huo Feng’s condition to be so severe. Who knows how long it will take him to recover."

Turning to glance at the Special Duty Team’s office building behind him, Dou Yanlan murmured, and Feng Yuan yawned as he said,

"Not sure, but it shouldn’t be that serious; otherwise, they wouldn’t have decided to place him in the Special Duty Team. Still, I always had the feeling that initially, they seemed to be targeting me."

Though he had suspected this before, upon pondering further, Huo Feng was indeed transferred while he was with the Special Duty Team, and given Huo Feng’s identity, it’s hard to say if he was specifically assigned to keep an eye on him to avoid any trouble.

"That might be possible, but since he hasn’t been transferred back, they’ve probably given up."

Flicking his tail, Agunas remarked with a chuckle, prompting Feng Yuan to say,

"That’s hard to say, but it doesn’t really matter. Perhaps they thought staying here would present him with more opportunities for growth."

"At least, those small teams can’t do much at the moment."

He sighed and shook his head, saying, that if full-scale warfare broke out, they might take action, but with the current situation, it would absolutely escalate into a war among Divine Beasts. By then, the people below could hardly influence the outcome.

This was why Meng Binglan was persistently trying to research various uncontrollable technologies at the time; they didn’t want to pin all their hopes on someone else, even if they were Divine Beasts.

Perplexedly observing Dou Yanlan who seemed to understand, Qi Chen was confused by his words, and Feng Yuan gave a soft laugh and said,

"Forget about it; let’s not dwell on these things. Let’s go, Agunas, I’ll leave it to you. Let me see, the first task is this one, huh? Weird incidents certainly abound."

He glanced at the file and shook his head. He had seen a lot of these messy matters while working with Liao Yu and the others before. Many times, these issues were blamed on the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, but unfortunately, many peculiar incidents were simply covers for criminals or unintentional clues.

Qi Chen and Dou Yanlan had never attempted similar missions. After taking the file from Feng Yuan and reading its contents, Qi Chen was left stunned and asked in confusion,

"What’s this? Blurry figures appearing in a residential area? Wild Ghost Series Spirit Beasts causing trouble?"

"Probably not. The Stray Spirit Beasts wouldn’t mess around downtown now; they have the Stray Spirit Beast Paradise to frolic in, and it’s not the first or second time either. There’s always some genius who thinks of using this method to communicate."

Shrugging, Feng Yuan said indifferently. This kind of thing wasn’t the first time it had happened. Previously, he might have suspected the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts were playing pranks, but now, it was likely someone conducting illegal transactions using a code.

Anyway, he didn’t find such attention-grabbing tactics particularly secretive. Although such anomalies could easily be mistaken as pranks by the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, they would still be documented, collected, and when these data piled up, it would be quite easy to discern whether it was man-made or not.

At least in Feng Yuan’s understanding, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts weren’t so bored as to keep targeting a single place repeatedly for pranks.

And indeed, as he had guessed, with Agunas’s reenactment, the other party’s every move was laid bare before them. After filming and archiving it, Feng Yuan glanced at Agunas, who waved its claw and opened a Space Gate right in front of those engaged in illegal Spiritual Medicine trades.

The sudden appearance of the trio startled those involved, but upon noticing their uniforms, the leader sneered and prepared to attack...

"Alright, if you really hurt them, I’d have to explain it away. Let them go, they didn’t manage to do anything anyway."

Pulling back Xiao Ji, who was using low-power Death Series ultimate moves to attack the group, Feng Yuan said amusedly. It’s not like he wasn’t strong himself, not to mention Agunas was right there watching. He admired their courage to take action in front of a Divine Beast as well.

Veronia sat on Rainbow Bubbles playing on her phone, showing no interest in Feng Yuan and his group’s actions. Of course, this was because she had already seen the files and estimated the time. Today, they’d be able to handle all these cases, and if any unforeseen delay occurred, she’d naturally step in to help.

This time, nobody chose to stop for lunch. It was Qi Chen’s first time experiencing a complete Special Duty Team mission. Although Feng Yuan appeared indifferent, he meticulously recorded all the evidence each time. Of course, after handling two cases, the follow-up work became Dou Yanlan’s responsibility.

As the sun set and the last file was archived, Feng Yuan stretched and said,

"Phew~ Finally done. Once we submit these, we’re finished~"

"I didn’t expect that so many strange rumors were actually covers for illegal activities."

Qi Chen glanced back and sighed. It was his first time learning about such matters, to which Feng Yuan nonchalantly replied,

"What’s so surprising about that? Simply making it so others can’t detect you is a very difficult task, so those guys think about diverting attention with other things. But most of the reported cases are rather clumsy. If they were smart, they’d know better than to repeatedly use similar tactics in one area."

"Does this mean there are some who slipped through the net?"

Looking at Feng Yuan in surprise, Qi Chen expressed his disbelief, and with a chuckle, Feng Yuan responded,

"Of course. Not everyone is so careless, but constantly changing locations is quite challenging. If too much information is exchanged, it will inevitably increase the risk of exposure. But if you don’t change locations every time, doing it too frequently will also lead to discovery. Still, this is usually how small organizations or independents operate. It’s different with groups like the G Organization."

"The G Organization..."

Qi Chen glanced at Feng Yuan and seeing no change in his demeanor, he breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t forgotten his initial suspicions about Feng Yuan’s background. While it might not be the truth currently, he couldn’t be sure if Feng Yuan had any special feelings towards the G Organization.

"The G Organization isn’t really active in Maomu City anymore, so there’s no need to chase after them. Other illegal organizations seem to avoid this place as well."

"After all, with so many Divine Beasts here, they’re not that foolish."

Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and said with a slightly smug twist to her lips. Even if there were those who wanted to do something to the Divine Beasts, they wouldn’t come here. Did they really think a group of Divine Beasts was easy to deal with? Not to mention there were two first-tier Divine Beasts here, causing trouble at the Yimu Qingling Tower in Shenhua City would be a better idea than courting death here.

Back at the Special Duty Team, Feng Yuan placed the files on Ye Hanlei’s desk, sent a text message to Liao Yu, then turned to Qi Chen and the others to say,

"All done. Where should we go to eat now?"

"If you don’t mind, Teacher Lu seems to be organizing a student gathering in the school cafeteria."

Glancing at the class group chat, Dou Yanlan said.
