"I don't believe you."
Eden rolled her eyes while looking at Tian Shi.
"Let me clarify this first: I cannot help you catch people."
"It's okay, I can do it myself."
Tian Shi didn't care at all.
What were Vill-V and Pardofelis? Weren't they just rookies? He, a ghost, was more than enough to keep them at bay.
Eden looked at Tian Shi with strangeness before leaving the kitchen.
What on earth? Why does Tian Shi seem so excited? Have we really drifted so far apart that we no longer have anything in common? I simply don't understand why he is excited.
...
Like a moth drawn to the flame, or rather, Mobius acted quickly; the next day, a staff member with a small sign appeared at Eden's door, delivering the credentials and relevant documents.
There are two copies of the document.
After dismissing the Fire Moth team, Eden glanced at the identification she held in her hand.
"The documents are related to the company and departmental agreements, and it seems to mean that we must submit a report on future plans."
"It's fine to worry about that," Tian Shi said indifferently.
"But why are there two copies of the identity document?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this one should be yours."
Eden pulled out one of the documents, which was almost blank, and showed it to Tian Shi.
The words "Minister" appearing on it were particularly eye-catching.
Although the name wasn't written, it was obvious to whom this special ministerial badge was intended.
"Doctor Mobius is very kind to you," Eden commented.
Doesn't this kind of document essentially create a ghost minister? If something happens to this department, it's unlikely anyone could be held accountable.
Even Eden thought this was going too far.
However, if I were in Mobius's place, I probably would have done the same.
As for what happens if something goes wrong, I will take full responsibility personally.
"I think she's being too reckless."
Tian Shi glanced at it and immediately understood Mobius's idea.
Although he felt somewhat moved, Tian Shi still had to scold that person for putting so much pressure on him, even if the pressure was insignificant.
"What is the department called?"
"Special Countermeasures Department."
"This doesn't sound at all like the name of a hobby department that cultivates stars."
Hearing that ridiculous name, Tian Shi's lips twitched slightly.
"From a certain perspective, cultivating stars is indeed a 'special strategy' for Fire Moth."
"That is complete nonsense..."
Tian Shi made a sarcastic remark, but then accepted the name.
As expected, the name is already quite impressive and can be mentioned openly and honestly.
"How is the fishing going?"
Eden asked indifferently; she was quite satisfied with the name.
Then she turned to ask about what Tian Shi had mentioned the previous day.
"They have fallen into the trap, and we are currently working on strengthening our relationship."
Just as Tian Shi had calculated, as long as they diligently searched those special gray forums and posted half-true, half-false, and deliberately mysterious messages, people with strong curiosity like Vill-V would fall into the trap.
"Is the other person a girl?"
Eden asked sharply.
"Why... why are you asking this?"
It would have been better if Eden hadn't asked; the fact that she did made Tian Shi feel a little guilty.
"It really is a crime." Eden nodded her head, understanding the situation.
At the same time, Eden also had some doubts.
Is Tian Shi finding a new love? Isn't this like tricking young, innocent girls over the internet?
Should she... stop him?
After all, Tian Shi seemed too excited... Could it be that he likes that kind of thing?
"I already said it's not a crime..."
Tian Shi always had the feeling that Eden seemed to have some kind of strange misunderstanding about him.
"It doesn't matter, I feel like I can't explain it to you. Eden, pack your things, let's go out for a while."
"Go out?"
Eden was somewhat taken aback by Tian Shi's sudden suggestion.
"What is the destination?"
"Twilight Street."
"Twilight Street... is that the infamous slum?"
Eden thought for a moment and then identified the target.
Although it's hard to associate slums with "fame," Twilight Street is still quite well-known for being a lawless place.
Well, by "famous," I mean infamous.
"Yes, a meeting place for the homeless and the exiled."
Tian Shi said without hesitation.
For Twilight Street, the existence of Aponia and Pardofelis is like gold in the dirt.
"Well..." Eden was actually somewhat reluctant to go to such a place.
"Don't be afraid. Every place has its own rules. Although Twilight Street has a bad reputation, it isn't actually rotten to the core."
Tian Shi knew Twilight Street quite well.
"How should I put it?... Twilight Street also has its own rules."
In Aponia's simulation at that time, there were indeed stalkers, but in the slums, the number of stalkers was incredibly small.
Although Aponia possesses extraordinary charm and persuasiveness, no one would believe one could survive in the Land of Anarchy with only those two things.
"This kind of thing can't be explained in a few words. In short, Eden, just follow me. I know Twilight Street well."
"I see."
Despite lingering doubts, Eden has always placed 200% trust in Tian Shi.
"What do you have to do after arriving there?"
"A charity performance."
Tian Shi responded clearly and decisively.
"Offer a truly impressive charity performance in Twilight Street as Eden's debut."
As soon as Tian Shi finished speaking, an intense glow appeared in Eden's eyes.
"Okay, watch me."
Eden didn't ask for an explanation, but simply tried to suppress her growing competitive spirit and responded in a calm voice.
"The inhabitants of Twilight Street are, in a way, 'lost sheep.' If possible, I hope your song, Eden, becomes a spiritual refuge for them."
Even though Eden didn't ask, Tian Shi explained anyway.
If Eden performs well enough, she could become the uncrowned queen of Twilight Street, but is "performing well" a problem for Eden?
And what if someone has bad intentions because of this?
I'm sorry, but you should know what curses are.
For Tian Shi, cursing ordinary people poses no difficulty; simply, this ability has remained hidden. The fact that he hasn't used it before doesn't mean he can't use it.
"Well, on the other hand, I also want to catch a lucky cat in Twilight Street."
The serious expression on Tian Shi's face disappeared, replaced by a relaxed smile.
"Are you sure the lucky cat you're trying to catch is the kind of lucky cat I understand?"
Eden's feminine intuition began to subtly sound the alarms.
