“Okay!” Fang Yan did not refuse and said directly.
To be honest, he doesn't like cooperating with the authorities. After all, he doesn't want to be a tool in someone else's hands. He is interested in those demons and monsters, but he doesn't want to be someone else's tool.
To put it bluntly, as long as the people around him are safe and he can become stronger, he doesn't want to risk his life for others!
If he had an Ultraman transformation device in front of him right now, he probably wouldn't be able to transform into Ultraman.
Inspector Megure quickly finished his call and returned, his expression becoming extremely serious. He said in a low voice, "Brother Fang Yan, this time, we're afraid we'll need your help. I've reported this to Superintendent Matsumoto, and he asked me to invite you to participate in the Slit-Mouthed Woman case."
After all, we don't know whether the bullets will be effective against the Slit-Mouthed Woman!
Speaking of the future, Inspector Megure also felt a sense of helplessness. Originally, in this era, firearms should have been the core, but ever since the incident at the school, Inspector Megure had become insecure.
It seems that bullets aren't necessarily effective against these demons and monsters!
Damn it, why has this world suddenly become so dangerous?
"Do you know where the other Slit-Mouthed Women are?" Fang Yan looked at Inspector Megure speechlessly. This was the main reason why Fang Yan preferred to cooperate with Vermouth and the Black Organization rather than Inspector Megure and his group.
These guys often can't resist trying to take advantage of you, regardless of your status. They'll inevitably resort to moral blackmail, or other forms of coercion and enticement.
Although Fang Yan wasn't afraid of these things, as long as he lacked morality, they couldn't hold him hostage.
"I don't know!" Inspector Megure shook his head and said.
"That's good then. I'm sure the Slit-Mouthed Woman isn't completely dead, but we don't even know where they are. Where am I supposed to find her?!" Fang Yan looked at Inspector Megure speechlessly. "You don't expect me to search the whole world for the Slit-Mouthed Woman like you guys, do you?!"
"How...how could this be?" Inspector Megure quickly waved his hand and said.
Although that's truly what he thinks, it's impossible for him to say it out loud!
Inspector Megure often sees the key points very clearly. Don't be fooled by how he usually appears as a foil to the detectives, making them look pretentious and even like a tool. But to Inspector Megure, the detectives are the tools. With these tools deducing the cases, he doesn't even need to think for himself to solve them.
It's still uncertain who's really being used!

Chapter 66
"If I encounter the Slit-Mouthed Woman, I'll help deal with it, but going looking for her without a specific purpose... I'm sorry, I can't do that. I'm not one of you cops!" Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't try to reason with me."
I only do what I can handle, even if the world needs heroes right now!
“But if those slit-mouthed women are all the same person from beginning to end, they might retaliate against you! Being with us will give you some protection and prevent the slit-mouthed women from retaliating against you!” Inspector Megure patiently explained.
Fang Yan simply waved his hand and said, "I understand the reasoning, but I don't want to get involved!"
After saying that, Fang Yan turned and left.
"Sigh!" Watching Fang Yan's departing figure, Inspector Megure also sighed softly and did not choose to chase after him.
After all, the other party had no obligation to get involved in this matter. On the contrary, they even rescued a woman who had been held hostage. Sigh, things are getting more and more difficult these days.
However, the Slit-Mouthed Woman incident still needs to be resolved as soon as possible. Inspector Megure roused himself and headed towards the alley.
..........................................................................................
After saying goodbye to Inspector Megure, Fang Yan didn't actually go straight home and ignore the matter. In fact, he still wanted to find the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Through his conversation with Inspector Megure, he learned that there were definitely more than just a few Slit-Mouthed Women; many more were causing trouble in the city, and the place he had just visited was merely a location where they disposed of their corpses.
However, there was one thing that Fang Yan was very curious about: at this corpse disposal site, with so many corpses, were they disposed of by the Slit-Mouthed Woman in a short period of time, or had they been disposed of for some time but had never been discovered?
This is not impossible; after all, it's normal for these things to have some special abilities.
If Fang Yan wanted to do something like this, it wouldn't be impossible for him to pull off such a deception.
Fang Yan wandered around the streets, trying to find other ghosts and monsters. Of course, it would be even better if he could find the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Suddenly, Fang Yan seemed to sense something and quickly ran in one direction, a smile appearing on his lips, as if something interesting had happened.
..........................................................................................
On a street some distance away from Fang Yan, a place that would normally be bustling with people at this time, though not exactly teeming with them, was now almost deserted.
The bob-haired girl stared at the battle unfolding on the street not far away with a look of utter disbelief. She was in a bad mood; she had simply finished dinner and wanted to take a walk, but it seemed she had run into trouble again.
Just like the cat demon incident last time, she encountered a ghost wall again and was trapped inside. However, this time, it wasn't a cat demon, but a monster wearing a dog-stealing mask. She walked around several times but couldn't find a way out.
The only good news is that the other party doesn't seem to have noticed him.
Kato Megumi used to think that having a sense of self-worth was an extremely troublesome thing for her, and definitely not a good thing.
If possible, she also wants to be noticed and make more friends.
But now, Kato Megumi feels that this ability of hers might actually be very useful, and might be able to protect her life forever.
In just a few days, this was the third time that his low profile had saved his life.
Fortunately, not long after he was trapped, a dark-skinned man appeared, broke into the room, and fought a great battle with the monster.
This scene left Kato Megumi speechless.
If Fang Yan's fighting style is somewhat like a high-special-effects science fiction movie, then this man's style is more like a hard-hitting martial arts film.
Kato Megumi never expected that a normal human being would fight a monster using karate. Is this really something a normal human being can do?
Well, at this moment, Kato Megumi had subconsciously ignored Fang Yan; that guy was no longer a normal human being.
This gave Kato Megumi a huge sigh of relief; perhaps this time, she could still be saved!
"Huh? Is that Fang Yan?" Suddenly, Kato Megumi noticed another figure slowly walking in from the other side, and her face lit up with joy. Now that Fang Yan had arrived, she was safe this time.
After all, Fang Yan's fighting style that day, with its full array of special effects, really gave people a sense of security.
Kato Megumi believed that the masked monster was no match for Fang Yan.
"That's karate? Looks like it's Makoto Kyogoku?" Fang Yan had just arrived at the scene and was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recognized the man who was using karate to fight the monster.
The strongest fighter in the Conan world, a cheat-like existence who can catch bullets with his bare hands.
It seems that in this world where spiritual energy is reviving, Makoto Kyogoku's strength is not bad either!
Fang Yan could tell that this masked monster was even stronger than the cat demon from before, since it could fight ghosts and monsters to such an extent.
Prey!
Chapter 67
Fang Yan was very interested in Kyogoku Makoto's strength. This was the first time Fang Yan had seen someone other than himself who could fight monsters!
Of course, this excludes members of the Anbei family.
After all, Fang Yan and his group have not yet truly faced each other.
"Wait, this aura!" Suddenly, a playful look appeared on Fang Yan's face.
It wasn't the monster wearing the tengu mask that interested him, but rather the aura emanating from it. This aura had a familiar feel to it; it was the same type of aura as the cat demon that Fang Yan had killed before. This demon was also a monster kept by an Onmyoji.
It could even be the shikigami of that Abe no Tadaaki!
That's interesting! With the resurgence of spiritual energy, demons and monsters are emerging in endless streams. It seems that what humans need to guard against is not only those demons and monsters, but also those with the ability to do evil.
Sometimes, these are the most troublesome people.
Makoto Kyogoku's strength is quite impressive, and he truly deserves to be considered the pinnacle of Conan's combat power. Fang Yan had been observing Kyogoku's battles and discovered something: if he didn't have the support of true qi, his physical abilities might not be as good as Kyogoku's.
It should be noted that Fang Yan is a man who has obtained the inheritance of Dongjun, but in terms of physical fitness alone, he is still no match for Kyogoku Makoto. He truly deserves to be called an existence that surpasses normal humans.
Fang Yan also began to wonder what level someone like Kyogoku Makoto could reach if he obtained some special cultivation techniques.
It's a bit of a pity. Besides the inheritance of Dongjun, Fang Yan only has the Evil-Dispelling Sword Manual to pass on to others. However, before his strength reaches a higher level, Fang Yan will not give away the Yin-Yang techniques of the Yin-Yang School to others.
Even those Yin-Yang techniques are really basic.
Unless the other party is truly one of his own, Fang Yan felt there was no need for him to pass on his knowledge.
After all, those things might be basic to him, but for the vast majority of people in this world, they are powers that are difficult to access.
"However, now that I've seen enough, it's time for me to make my move!" After observing for a while, Fang Yan lost interest. Admittedly, Kyogoku Makoto's physical abilities were quite good, but his fighting techniques were still limited to karate, so there wasn't much for Fang Yan to learn from.
Fang Yan drew several talismans in mid-air with his fingers, making strokes and lines.
Kato Megumi, who was watching from the side, was also shocked. This was a talisman. Was Fang Yan going to fight using the fighting methods of a regular Taoist priest?
She was not unfamiliar with Taoist priests; she had heard that there was a very famous singer on the mainland who was also a Taoist priest and was known as the most skilled in performing rituals.
Now, seeing Fang Yan drawing in the air and creating numerous talismans, it's a completely different style from the fighting style of that big black guy before!
"They're here!" As Fang Yan finished speaking, the talismans he had just drawn were launched at the masked monster.
Kyogoku Makoto had already sensed Fang Yan's presence and quickly shifted his position, giving Fang Yan the attacking position. At the same time, he also tried his best to attack, delaying the monster.
"Bang bang bang!" As several talismans landed on the monster, it let out a series of mournful howls. Seeing this, Makoto Kyogoku took advantage of the monster's inability to concentrate and quickly threw several punches at it. These were attacks that landed squarely on the ground!
Then, Makoto Kyogoku glanced at Fang Yan's location, kicked out a flying kick, and sent the monster flying towards Fang Yan's position.
Seeing the monster hurtling towards him, Fang Yan wasn't too worried. He was never a fragile mage. A longsword appeared in his hand, Qiu Li, and he aimed it precisely at the monster's heart.
With a soft thud, the monster had no chance to react before the longsword pierced its chest with perfect accuracy.
Even so, Fang Yan's side did not slack off in the slightest. Countless people relaxed their guard after being stabbed in the chest, only to be killed in retaliation, and then the other party would tell them in a ridiculous way, "Sorry, my heart is on the left side."
Fang Yan wouldn't make such a mistake. Besides, the opponent wasn't human; who knew if these monsters even had hearts? After pulling Qiu Li back, he unleashed several more sword flowers that landed on the Tengu. In just an instant, the incredibly powerful Tengu...
Under Fang Yan's attack, it was cut into several pieces.
This scene looked extremely bloody. Fang Yan's strength seemed to be much greater than Kyogoku Makoto's. Well, in fact, Fang Yan was indeed stronger than Kyogoku Makoto, but not to such an exaggerated degree.
The main reason is that Qiu Li has a certain restraining effect on such monsters. When dealing with the monster, it can even be considered a divine weapon. Moreover, Kyogoku Makoto cooperated very cleverly before, so that the monster was dealt with by Fang Yan before it could react.
If Fang Yan were to truly fight this monster in a real battle, he would naturally win, but the victory wouldn't be quick.
Chapter 68
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating a monster and gaining 412 points!"
