This is too outrageous! Then Sakurajima Mai looked at Fang Yan with a strange expression. Could this guy also have an ambiguous relationship with Chris?
"Yes, she's my friend!" Fang Yan nodded slightly, without explaining anything further, as it wasn't appropriate to explain certain things in front of Vermouth.
"Is this your new home?" Vermouth asked, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the house.
"Well, I'm going to be making some renovations here, and I need you guys to help me get some things, like some training equipment!" Fang Yan said directly.
“No problem! But are you concerned about exposing this place?” Vermouth asked intently. “After all, you know the organization’s situation. These days, anyone could be an agent. If we call in help, their efficiency will be very high, perhaps even world-class. But, similarly…”
Your identity may be exposed!
"Is that so?" Fang Yan stroked his chin. He didn't care about revealing his identity. During this time, he had been wielding the Qiu Li Sword, cutting his way from one side to the other with sparks and lightning. He had probably already been noticed by many people, but Fang Yan didn't care about that.
To be precise, he no longer cares.
Didn't you see that even now, no one from the authorities has come to contact you?
“Well, Vodka is an expert in this area!” Vermouth chuckled and said, “But since you’re moving here, it seems I’ll have to get a house nearby too.”
She lives alone, so she doesn't need a big house. In fact, to ensure her safety, she prefers to live in places with many people, so that she can escape faster.
But now that I'm with Fang Yan, I don't need to worry about these things.

"Well, with your financial resources, getting a villa here wouldn't be a problem!" Fang Yan chuckled. Vermouth wasn't some minor celebrity; on the contrary, she was a world-famous star. Even when she was Sharon, she was a very well-known celebrity.
In terms of assets, Vermouth has plenty. Moreover, she is the heiress of the brewery and has done a lot of assassin missions herself. Money is not a problem for Vermouth at all.
"I don't mind being noticed!" Fang Yan pondered for a moment before continuing, "If I didn't want to be noticed by certain people before, now I'm being noticed by countless people, so cooperating with you isn't something shameful."
To be honest, compared to the current overall situation, your organization is indeed somewhat inferior!
"..." Vermouth was speechless at Fang Yan's words.
Fang Yan made it sound like their organization was pretty bad. Well, in this era, their organization does have certain limitations, but that doesn't mean they're weak. If they're really pushed to the limit, believe me, they'll just send out armed helicopters and blast their opponents.
“Actually, our organization isn’t as weak as you might think, especially since people have started trying to use your sword manual and are making great progress!” Vermouth said meaningfully, “I just don’t know if that thing will end up in the hands of some countries.”
"It should happen!" Fang Yan was also looking forward to it, just like that country across the ocean where all the agents practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. It's just a pity that we won't be able to see that for the time being.
Erina Nakiri and Mai Sakurajima, standing to the side, looked puzzled, not understanding what this meant. What secret were these two hiding from them?
"Alright, we're going out tomorrow. Have someone replace all the things inside—the bed, the furniture, everything. I don't like secondhand items. As for the kitchen, make it to the highest standards. I'll have Erina give you the specifications later. As for the basement, turn it into a training room—make it as sturdy as possible."
"And I want some of the fitness equipment too!" Fang Yan kept telling Vermouth his requests, not worried that Vermouth might forget what he said.
The other party is a top-notch assassin, after all. If he couldn't even do this much, he would have been dead long ago.
“No problem, I’ll have Vodka arrange the basement. He’s a professional in this area. As for the furniture, I’ll take care of that for you! After everything is settled, I’ll check it over to make sure there are any surveillance cameras!” Vermouth wrote it down carefully and then said to Fang Yan.
"Actually, I don't care about the surveillance equipment. If they're willing to do it, I can make a big profit!" Fang Yan's face showed a playful smile.
With Jarvis present, he didn't care whether there were any surveillance devices here. In any case, he wouldn't be the one to suffer; it would definitely be someone else. He could even investigate and find out some people involved.
"Hmph, since you're not afraid, then I won't say anything more!" Vermouth revealed a slight smile.
She was quite looking forward to seeing what Fang Yan would do.
After discussing the renovations with Vermouth, Fang Yan and the others returned directly to their original apartment.
As for villas and such, it may take some time before we can move in, so there's no rush.

Just when Fang Yan thought the day was over, a phone rang. Fang Yan looked at the number on his phone with a hint of doubt. Yes, after a moment's thought, it was a number he didn't recognize.
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yan answered the phone. A familiar voice came from the other end: Inspector Megure's voice: "Brother Fang Yan, do you have some time?"
"What is it?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he didn't want to be someone's tool, but if the other party could bring him some interesting information, Fang Yan wouldn't mind making the trip.

"Brother Fang Yan, have you ever heard of Sadako?" Inspector Megure asked in a strange tone.
"Isn't that a movie?" Fang Yan asked, somewhat bewildered.
Sadako? How could he not know? She's the female ghost from a ghost story.
In this respect, the two worlds are quite similar; at least the movie "The Ring" exists in both worlds.
"You also think it's something from a movie? But Sadako seems to have really appeared!" Inspector Megure said in a horrified tone.
"What!" Fang Yan was a little dumbfounded. Could it be that something from a movie or TV show had appeared in real life?
"It's really hard to accept, but it seems to have really happened!" Inspector Megure said, feeling utterly pissed off.
Originally, all I did was manage criminal cases and follow those detectives around, shouting "6666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome"). I didn't need to use my brain at all. I just needed to find a few reliable detectives and follow them to arrest people.
Now, I keep encountering these kinds of incidents. Is this punishment for my slacking off?

Chapter 146
“Over the past few days, people have been receiving videotapes one after another. Whenever the videotape is played, a female ghost emerges from the television. At first, only a hand emerges. They tried to throw the videotape away, but at the same time the next day, the videotape is still played in their homes, and the female ghost can emerge from more and more parts of her body,” Inspector Megure said with a terrified tone.
"Then we might as well not go home at all!!" Fang Yan said, somewhat speechless. "Since we can't go back to that home, let's find another one! Let the police wipe out these monsters!!"
"But the problem is, no matter where they stay, the '970' female ghost appears!!" Inspector Megure said, somewhat troubled. "They don't even need a TV; even if there's nothing in the room, the ghost will still appear."
We even took her to the Metropolitan Police Department, but the female ghost still appeared, and our bullets were useless! Someone has already died!
When the bullets proved useless, Inspector Megure felt a pang of frustration. After all, bullets were their source of confidence, and the fact that they were useless left him feeling helpless.
"The bullets had no effect?" Fang Yan looked thoughtful. "But what did you come to me for? With your police connections, you should be able to find some Onmyoji families, right?"
The Yin-Yang Masters may have been very secretive before, but Fang Yan didn't believe that the police really knew nothing about it.
Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, Fang Yan, to be honest, wasn't particularly interested in Sadako; he was definitely going to find the Thunder God Sword tomorrow.
"We've already consulted several Onmyoji, but none of them have been able to do anything about that female ghost. To be precise, even if we kill her, she'll still reappear the next day! And there's more than one female ghost! It's a bit like the Slit-Mouthed Woman," Inspector Megure said helplessly.
So I wanted to ask you if you have any way to deal with this female ghost who resembles Sadako!
"Is that so?" Fang Yan looked thoughtful.
This is not good news. It seems that eliminating Sadako is not difficult, but completely eliminating her seems to be very difficult.
However, is it possible for me to make Sadako come to me on her own initiative, so that I can keep getting more and more Sadako?
Of course, the most crucial thing is that Fang Yan had a premonition that this matter was too much of a coincidence.
Is this really Sadako? Why does it feel like someone watched The Ring, learned about Sadako, and then deliberately created something like this?
Such a thing is not impossible.
After all, it's not impossible for those Onmyoji to cause any trouble.
Of course, it's also possible that legends become reality, just like the Slit-Mouthed Woman, which has now been almost proven true. Urban legends can become facts, so it's not impossible that Sadako's storyline from the movie could become a reality.
"Do you have a way to solve this problem?" Inspector Megure asked expectantly.
"I don't know either!" Fang Yan said after a moment of contemplation. "Do you have any Sadako videotapes over there? If so, I'll come and get a copy to see if this thing will have any impact on me!"
"You want the videotape?" Inspector Megure was also surprised. Everyone else kept their distance from these things; even the Onmyoji hired by the Metropolitan Police Department didn't dare handle them casually. But Fang Yan wanted to get his hands on the videotape...
"Well, if possible, I'd like this videotape!" Fang Yan said with interest.
He wasn't afraid of Sadako at all. If Sadako could be produced continuously, Fang Yan hoped that she could keep coming. After all, going out to farm points was tiring. The points that automatically increased every day had increased from one to two, and sometimes even three.
However, for Fang Yan now, this automatically increasing number of points is a drop in the bucket. The most crucial thing is that he needs a large number of points to participate in the lottery that requires 10,000 points per draw.
If it's just a lottery draw with 100 points per draw, it's very difficult to draw something that will be useful to the opponent.
Wait, that doesn't seem right either. Just because I don't need it doesn't mean that Erina Nakiri and Mai Sakurajima don't need it either. Maybe I can continue to do the low-point lottery.
"We do have the videotapes, but we dare not handle them casually. Some officers who had previously handled the videotapes also found them after returning home!" Inspector Megure said with a serious expression.
“Okay, I’ll come and get 1.0!” Fang Yan didn’t refuse and said directly. After chatting for a few minutes, the two hung up the phone.
"Does Sadako really exist?" Mai Sakurajima asked solemnly as she saw Fang Yan heading to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Erina Nakiri, on the other hand, doesn't seem to know much about Sadako. But that's probably normal, since the young lady doesn't have many friends and doesn't watch horror movies. Besides practicing her cooking skills, she spends time with Fang Yan or reading shoujo manga.

Chapter 147
"Hmm, no need to be afraid, Sadako won't cause any trouble!" Fang Yan narrowed his eyes: "But if you're afraid of ghosts, then I won't go!"
“No, that’s not it. After all, my previous spirit was, in some ways, no different from a ghost!” Mai Sakurajima shook her head slightly and said, “I’m just curious why the authorities haven’t set up a department to deal with this kind of thing.”
Why do I always need your help?
"Currently, it seems there really isn't such a department. The spiritual energy has only just begun to recover, and even if they wanted to set up such a department, they would be somewhat willing but unable to do so. After all, apart from their advanced technology, there are very few truly powerful cultivators among humans."
The previous environment was indeed unsuitable for cultivation! Moreover, the traditions in many places had been lost.
"If we want those people to come out and help, it's impossible without giving them some benefits! The problem is that those benefits might be too excessive. Therefore, for the officials, it's better to cultivate them themselves than to place their hopes on others, whether they are cultivators or people who have awakened special abilities. There have been more and more awakened people lately!" Fang Yan said eloquently.
"Is that so?" Mai Sakurajima nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the adult world is such a hassle!
The world has become like this, and there are still so many twists and turns.
"Then tell me, could the Metropolitan Police Department's invitation to you be a trap? After all, you possess quite a few legacies!" Mai Sakurajima continued to ask.
"If it's a trap, let them come if they dare!" Fang Yan said confidently. "Even the Shigong Group is almost bankrupt now, they wouldn't be so unwise! Besides, if I want to leave, there shouldn't be anyone in this world who can stop me!"
"That's good!" Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, both Sakurajima Mai and Nakiri Erina breathed a sigh of relief.
It's understandable that they were worried about Fang Yan. After all, Fang Yan had a penchant for courting death and always went to fight in dangerous places. How could they not be worried about him? Hearing Fang Yan say such things, they could feel much more at ease.
As for whether Fang Yan would deceive them in this regard, Sakurajima Mai and Nakiri Erina were not worried.
