It is definitely not possible not to pay, even if the other party is a civil servant. In the end, Fang Zheng and Ida bargained for a long time before they finally reached an agreement. Fang Zheng would not enter the government department as a civil servant, but instead, he would appear as a third-party assistant.
The task that was finally assigned to Fang Zheng was scientific investigation.
Simply put, the government wants to deal with those non-human troubles, but is afraid of being discovered by ordinary people. What should it do at this time?
Then the only option is to turn to science!
To put it simply, if a vampire incident occurs in a certain place, the government will secretly entrust Fang Zheng to handle the incident. All Fang Zheng has to do is go to the local area, deal with the vampire, and then tell the local people that it is not a vampire at all, but a rabies attack...
Of course, this is not without disadvantages, because the two parties are in an employment relationship, which means that if there is any big problem, the government will not hesitate to throw Fang Zheng out to take the blame. However, Fang Zheng does not care about this. After all, as long as the other party is willing to pay the commission, then it is his responsibility to clean up and deal with it.
Eventually, Fang Zheng's side will exist under the name of the supporting department "Special Investigation Department", and the government will also issue them special certificates to facilitate Fang Zheng's investigations in various places.
For Founder, this is enough.
Now Fang Zheng was the only one left in the Special Investigation Department, but he didn't care about this little thing. For Fang Zheng, personnel were dispensable. For Fang Zheng, he had other things to deal with.
That was Sayu's problem.
After returning from Chang'e City, Sayu seemed to have made a decision. She found Fang Zheng and said that she would return home and "settle things" with her mother.
"So what are you doing back at school?"
Looking at the campus outside the car window, Fang Zheng asked curiously. He drove Sayu back to Hokkaido, but Sayu said that before going home, she wanted to go to the school first.
Of course, it was daytime and classes were in progress at school, but for Sayu, this didn't seem to be a problem.
"I have somewhere I want to go...Mr. Fang Zheng, can you accompany me?"
"certainly."
Although the school was closed, Sayu had studied here after all, so she quickly found a gap and took Fang Zheng into the campus, then walked into the school building through the unlocked door.
The school was very quiet during class, but Sayu didn't care. She just walked up the stairs step by step, looking forward, and Fang Zheng followed behind her.
"...Mr. Fang Zheng."
As they walked, Sayu suddenly asked.
"If monsters exist, then do ghosts... exist too?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe there is, maybe not. No one can tell."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He had almost guessed why Sayu wanted to return to the school he had attended. He still remembered that Sayu said that her friend committed suicide by jumping off the rooftop of the school because she could not stand the bullying. She came here, probably hoping to meet the soul of her friend. Maybe she had something else to say to him?
However, Fang Zheng was not sure whether there were souls in this world. Logically, there should be souls, but even so, what appeared in front of Sayu might not be the scene she expected to see - but this had nothing to do with Fang Zheng.
He was simply eating melons.
Finally, the two reached the rooftop. Sayu walked slowly forward, as if to verify her memory, to a corner of the rooftop, and reached out to grab the wire fence in front of her.
“There was no barbed wire here… before.”
"Because someone died, they had to install it. The Japanese bureaucracy will never cry until they see the coffin."
"Yes, just like when I went to report it to the teachers, they just thought it was a small matter and didn't care at all..."
Sayu lowered her head, gripped the wire tightly, and clenched her teeth.
"At that time... I should have caught her. Even if she hated me, I should have caught her. At least, that way, she could live instead of dying."
Muttering to herself, Sayu slowly raised her head and looked at the shattered sky outside through the barbed wire. Then she took a deep breath.
"We can't just let it go like this."
"Um."
"If Jiezi dies, someone has to pay the price."
“It’s your choice.”
Hearing Sayu's answer, Fang Zheng chuckled.
"You make your own decision."
"I know."
At this moment, Sayu turned her head, looked at Fang Zheng and smiled, then she reached out her hand and wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, could you please go back and wait for me? I want to do the next thing by myself."
“Come on.”
Fang Zheng waved his hand, then turned and walked down the stairs.
"I'll wait for you at the school gate."
Watching Fang Zheng's back disappear in the corridor, Sayu was silent for a moment, then she raised her head. At this moment, the girl's eyes became extremely firm.
Then, she walked down the stairs and came to the door of her classroom. Looking at the students and teachers who were attending class inside, Sayu hesitated for a moment, then reached out and opened the door.
“Crash!”
The classroom door was opened, and the students who were in class subconsciously turned their heads to look at the door. Seeing Sayu standing there, many of them showed surprised expressions. The teacher also looked at Sayu standing at the classroom door in surprise, and then spoke.
"Ogiwara? You're in school? Why aren't you wearing a uniform? Are you here for class..."
However, Sayu turned a deaf ear to the teacher's questions. She just walked into the classroom, came to one of the girls with dyed hair, and stared at her.
"You...what are you doing?"
Looking at Sayu in front of her, the dyed-haired girl yelled uncomfortably, but Sayu just looked at her calmly and then spoke.
"You were the one who forced Yuiko to death."
“Huh…?”
Hearing this, the dyed-haired girl suddenly shouted.
"What does it have to do with me! That girl committed suicide! I didn't kill her! What does it have to do with me!"
"So, you're just sitting here like nothing's happened, huh?"
"It has nothing to do with me in the first place. That guy was so stupid that he jumped off the building. It has nothing to do with me..."
That’s all for the dyed-haired girl.
Because at the same time, Sayu had already raised the fire extinguisher in both hands and smashed it hard on her head.
“Bang!!”
With a dull sound, the dyed-haired girl was knocked to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching. Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
"How dare you... Ogiwara, you are so brave!!"
At this time, another woman sitting in the back stood up with a roar and stretched out her hand to grab Sayu. The latter kicked the woman in the stomach without mercy. The next moment, the woman fell to the ground retching. Then Sayu picked up the fire extinguisher again and smashed it hard on the woman's head.
“Boom!!!”
As the second woman fell, the entire classroom was filled with screams.
"Hey, Ogiwara, are you crazy? Stop it!"
At this time, the teacher also ran over and stretched out his hand to try to grab Sayu, but the next moment, his body stiffened, and then he fell down with his eyes rolled back.
"You are all murderers."
Sayu silently retracted the stun gun and looked at the teacher lying at her feet.
"So, you have to pay the price."
"She's crazy!"
“Run!!!”
At this time, the students in the classroom were in chaos. They screamed and rushed out of the classroom, while Sayu quickly took two steps forward, reached out, grabbed the third long-haired girl's hair, pulled her back, and then pressed her head against the wall and slammed it hard.
"Bang!!"
The long-haired girl's face suddenly became a bloody mess, her mouth opened wide, and her teeth were broken. She covered her mouth and fell to the ground screaming.
The classroom was now empty, with only Sayu and three girls lying on the ground.
"Sure enough, it's just as Mr. Fang Zheng said."
Sayu stretched out her hand, looked at her palm, then looked at the three girls on the ground and closed her eyes.
"If we do this, Yuko won't die..."
Yes, the other party is just an ordinary person. If he is hit, he will feel pain, bleed, and get hurt. Why have I never thought of doing this before?
What exactly am I worried about?
Why has there been such a change in me in just a few months?
Sayu opened her hands and clenched them tightly.
There is only one reason.
Thinking of this, Sayu threw away the fire extinguisher and walked out of the classroom. At this moment, the corridor was full of students. They looked at Sayu and stepped back subconsciously. But Sayu didn't take these students seriously at all. After all, she had been through so much with Fang Zheng, including the underworld and monsters. What had she not seen?
In comparison, Sayu really doesn't take these students seriously.
Although teachers also came, they also stopped when they saw Sayu's expression. They could feel that this girl was full of a terrifying aura, so much so that they didn't even dare to step forward to stop her.
When Sayu arrived at the school gate, Fang Zheng was already waiting there.
"nailed it?"
Seeing Sayu coming out, Fang Zheng threw away the Coke can and asked, and Sayu nodded.
"Although I don't know if Yuko likes what I did, but... at least I avenged her. This is the only thing I can do for her now. Perhaps, I should have done this earlier."
"very good."
Hearing Sayu's answer, Fang Zheng smiled slightly.
"Get in the car."
