Retract

The paparazzi thought that his day was quite magical.

People in this line of work always do things that offend people. They often stand by the river, so it's inevitable that their shoes will get wet. If they meet someone who is willing to swallow his anger, it's okay. But if they meet someone who is unwilling to endure this anger in vain, they will inevitably suffer some punishment.

There is a force behind Gao Yu Shiyan that supports him. The paparazzi have known this for a long time, but he doesn't care. Anyone who can quickly rise to prominence and gain a place in the entertainment industry must have a background.

The paparazzi thought they could offend even the bigger celebrities, let alone a small person like him.

Before he was blown away by the mysterious force, he did not have time to think about the suspected metaphysical elements symbolized by this force, and he subconsciously pressed the emergency shortcut key - pressing it meant that he would need rescue if something unexpected happened while he was out carrying out his employer's request.

This is called mutual assistance among colleagues. If they took action against him as a paparazzi in order to protect their own privacy, it would definitely be big news.

The paparazzi lost consciousness in such smugness.

When he woke up, he was in the hospital, which was a bit unexpected for him. Although the people he called were basically in the same industry, they didn't have much friendship. It was agreed that they would help him when he encountered problems. To be honest, they even sent him to the hospital for treatment...

Could it be that Gao Yu Shiyan was really caught with something and needed to appease this paparazzi to restore some of his reputation?

"Wake up!" A clear young voice came from the side.

The paparazzi turned his head in a daze, only to see a young man with long turquoise hair sitting on the sofa next to the bed, holding a book in his hands. His emerald green eyes looked him up and down with a scrutinizing look.

"Who are you?" the paparazzi asked.

If he had seen such a young and handsome man, he should have had an impression of him.

The boy's face was full of emotion and anger. He let the man stare at him until he felt uneasy. Then he slowly said, "You have followed me to my head, and you don't even know who I am?"

This statement was as clear as day, and the paparazzi immediately matched the boy with Gao Yu Shiyan's financial sponsor.

"No, no, it's just that I didn't expect that someone as young and promising as you would be interested in the entertainment industry, and the person you invested in was... a comedian."

"Don't give me compliments. You just woke up and maybe you don't know how this matter will unfold." Feng Zao shook his head in a somewhat amused manner and threw the newspaper in front of the paparazzi.

There was a title written in bold letters above.

Crime is hidden in remote villages, and ignorant villagers harm young children.

Village... The paparazzi, whose keywords were triggered, remembered the place where he was "murdered" and his pupils shrank suddenly: "So, it turns out that Gao Yujun was..." arrested.

He knew the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, who was a man who would not do anything without a profit. If it was just a simple criminal case, it would not be enough for him to put it on the front page. But if the murderer was a popular comedian... then that would be enough.

"Gao Yujun is taking care of the children not far next door. I was brought here by him and brought to see you." Feng Zaoche smiled slightly. He was just curious about what kind of person this unlucky paparazzi was who had three ribs broken by the cursed spirit.

Xia Yujie said that he was overly suspicious, and now it seems that he is indeed the case. This is a very typical guy. There is no need to spend too much effort and thought on him. Just a small warning is enough.

The entertainment industry has its twists and turns, and Feng Zaoche has no intention of entering it. If nothing unexpected happens, the only artist he will promote in his lifetime is probably Gao Yushiyan. But now is a good opportunity.

"That day, after you pressed the shortcut key to send a message, your colleagues came over very quickly. It seemed that they had been expecting something bad to happen to you for a long time, and it was finally time for them to share in the spoils."

Feng Zaoche started his retelling.

Under the questioning of Geto Xia Yu, the villagers could not bear the pressure and prepared to prove to them that the two girls bound by the house in front of them were indeed two monsters.

Even Gao Yu Shiyan, who had just entered the industry, had an extremely unhappy expression on his face. They themselves were sorcerers and could not confuse the difference between monsters and humans. It could even be said that the villagers were blaming their own kind.

However, Gao Yushiyan had been repeatedly reminded by Feng Zaoche that he should report to him immediately if any special circumstances arose. So after he sent this message via text message, there was suddenly a noisy movement outside the door.

A dozen people carrying cameras and holding simple weapons drove into the village, shouting the paparazzi's name and taking pictures of the house that was obviously haunted. Before the wind had completely returned to normal, they had already rushed into the house with the spirit of preferring the headlines to their lives.

Xia Yujie's thoughts were still completely confused. He had been in the industry for several years, but this was the first time he encountered a situation where the target of a mission was a child with a talent for spells.

He could almost tell right from wrong in an instant, and just when he was about to uncontrollably suppress his anger, Feng Zaoche called.

"'Senior passerby', what's going on over there now?" Before Geto could reply, Fuzao Tetsu had already figured out what was going on from the background noise on the phone. "Oh, that paparazzi has found an accomplice. This is going to be a headache for the logistics team."

"Since those two children are in possession of the magic, it must be something from the world of magic." Why are ordinary people joining in the fun? The wrinkles between Xia Yujie's brows became deeper. "If we hadn't come, the villagers would have been afraid that killing them directly would bring disaster. I'm afraid it would be..."

It's hard to survive.

"I know, but the villagers are ordinary people, and there are more suitable punishment methods for them. I will understand the situation over there a little bit, and it will be enough for me to find a corresponding method. Remember to stay calm. I will explain every detail to you after I come back." Feng Zaoche looked at the long-overdue main task that suddenly appeared on the system panel, and his eyelids jumped violently.

It was not in vain that I had dragged Xia Yujie to stay up late to mess with people for so many days. Xia Yujie only needed to think about the reactions of those ordinary people and then he managed to restrain himself.

"I've also seen the mission list. You and Gao Yu should investigate the surrounding area. If the source of the abnormality is indeed those two girls, bring them back first. This mission ends here."

On the other end of the line, Geto Xiayou remained silent. Fuzaichou was unable to untangle his tangled thoughts, so he tentatively called out, "Geto."

Very gently, as if afraid of disturbing something by accident.

"...It's okay, I heard it." Xia Yujie sensed some special meaning in his words, and immediately came to his senses and responded, "I'll hang up first. Those people should take the equipment they need with them."

They had everything from recorders to cameras. There was nothing that couldn't be recorded about Feng Zaoche's voice, but the content of their conversation wasn't suitable for ordinary people to know, especially for people with special professions who were desperate to make a splash.

He hung up the phone.

Although sorcerers say that their daily lives are strangely disconnected from real society, there are not many sorcerers who can completely isolate themselves from it.

Not every mission takes place in a deserted suburb, but in a crowded downtown area. Any disturbance that occurs must have a reasonable explanation.

The identities of all registered sorcerers are clear with the police. Of course, not every active police officer is aware of the existence of this huge entity in the sorcery world, but it is enough to give them a little extra convenience when taking action.

Xia Yujie's eyebrows and eyes are not sharp, and when he simply wears a social smile, he even looks somewhat gentle and amiable. Only a few people with a keen sense of smell can detect the danger hidden in it.

What's more, the face of this passerby in front of him is extremely ordinary, and it is an exaggeration to describe it as dull.

"Everyone, please feel free to call the police, but we are still investigating the case. Please do not take pictures of the victims."

His tone even sounded a bit indifferent.

The other paparazzi around didn't care much until the person who was in charge of checking on the paparazzi who was stuffed into the car came over and said in a trembling voice: "...He, he has a broken bone."

The two sorcerers didn't even raise their eyebrows. Everyone present shuddered when they saw their calm expressions.

He was blown away by the cursed spirit. This was because Geto Suguru held back. In addition, ordinary people have better physical fitness, otherwise it is hard to say what would have happened.

Realizing that these two were the kind of guys who were not afraid of trouble when it came to fighting, the other paparazzi looked at Gao Yushiyan for a long time with a look that said "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person", then came up to him enthusiastically and started taking random photos of the villager's face.

Since they are here, they have to bring something valuable back, otherwise it would be a waste of time, energy and gas money.

Xia Yujie's forehead jumped when he saw their enthusiastic actions, and he vaguely guessed Feng Zaoche's intention of saying that there was no need to drive this group of people away.

First of all, after seeing the paparazzi's injuries, they had already contacted the police and an ambulance. In their line of work, there is no guaranteed salary, and they all rely on commissions. If they can dig up news, they can make a lot of money, so they will not be unable to pay for the ambulance.

The villagers thought they were doing a good thing and did not hide the fact that they imprisoned and abused the two girls. Under Feng Zaoche's manipulation, the police would naturally do whatever they had to do. They had no family background and once they were in jail and confessed their crimes, there would be no chance of turning things around.

【From 風早澹】:

[Remember to ask questions in case you have a criminal record.]

What other criminal record could it be? A criminal record of abusing other children or even adults who were cursed.

The police definitely didn't want to go to this level, so they could only do it by themselves. When Xia Youjie stood up to find someone to question, he waved Gao Yu Shiyan over and summoned a curse spirit himself.

He and the big orange fox doll in a pink skirt beside him stared at each other, their expressions were completely blank. If someone had the ability to read minds, they would definitely see that he was thinking about what excuse he could use to go back and call Feng Zauteru to give him a beating.

Forget it. Xia Yujie patted the silly bow tied on the doll's head with an expressionless face and stuffed it into Gao Yu Shiyan's arms: "You go and comfort them."

Gao Yushiyan was not suitable for asking flattering questions. He was stunned for a moment, then walked up to the two dirty children with the doll in his arms.

Suddenly the big fox began to speak, in short, indistinct sounds, but very slowly, enough for the young child, who was already able to understand words, to discern its meaning.

"You can watch it if you want."

Watch how the ignorant people who bully you push themselves into the abyss step by step, and watch how you will escape from the predicament and embark on a new life.

The two children were startled and grabbed the doll's arms and refused to let go. Gao Yu Shiyan searched the villagers for the key and simply put himself in and started playing with the two children.

As I said before, no one has any idea of ​​doing this for the time being - once this bone is broken, it will take a long time to recuperate. Once you lie down, you may lose your job and the capital you have accumulated will no longer exist.

Everyone has to think carefully about whether they can afford the risk of breaking bones and getting nothing.

The other villagers were attracted by the movement and gradually moved towards the paparazzi's car. Xia Yujie randomly grabbed someone and questioned him. A familiar siren sounded in his ears, and he turned his head to look.

Policemen came down from above one after another. The villagers did not hear the commotion and did not notice him. They even picked up a few bricks and tried to smash the car.

From this distorted perspective, it looks like... Geto Suguru is about to be ambushed.
