Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Only Two Minutes Left_1

Hearing this, you and Xiao Feng exchanged a glance, and the latter grinned at Yang Kai, saying, "Hey, Little Kai, let’s discuss something."

"Get lost, I know it’s nothing good just by looking at that sleazy face of yours!"

"Aw, don’t be like that, who are we if not brothers? I’d never set you up, no matter what," Xiao Feng stood up, walked around you, and sat next to Yang Kai, "Kai Zi, out of everyone in the Detective Agency, you’ve got the most guts. Whenever there’s trouble, aren’t you always the first one to charge into battle and snatch first blood from the enemy?"

"That’s true."

One thing about Yang Kai was that he couldn’t resist being flattered. A little bit of tailoring to his temperament and a few compliments would completely relax his guard, and he’d start floating on cloud nine.

Of course, that was only if Nie Ying wasn’t around.

Nie Ying had merged two souls, making her thoughts sharper and faster than others. Normally, she was easygoing about most things, but she absolutely wouldn’t tolerate Yang Kai being put in danger—that was her bottom line.

And Yang Kai was indeed henpecked; Nie Ying kept him on a tight leash most of the time. But after all, he was a man of passion. Sometimes, the more he was restrained, the more rebellious he’d feel.

Seeing Yang Kai taking the bait, Xiao Feng shot you a look and then continued with a smile, "This Red Packet task has been around for over a month now, and as far as we know, there are at least two groups. Look, there are hundreds of people in each group, and they surely play these Red Packet tasks too, but why aren’t they affected?"

"Hmm, right, why are they all fine?"

"That can only explain one thing," you chimed in just in time, "the rewards and punishments of the Red Packet tasks are relative."

"Relative?" Yang Kai frowned, "So, you mean, the richer the rewards, the harsher the punishments. If the rewards are little, then the punishments can’t be too severe either."

"Exactly, that’s what I mean." Xiao Feng patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, "The Red Packet task you just accepted was just for 200 yuan. Even if the task fails, the punishment shouldn’t be too severe. Besides, isn’t Little Yunyun here with us? With him around, what’s there to be afraid of?"

"There is that," Yang Kai said, grinning.

At that moment, you stood up, addressed everyone around, and said, "Since we’ve all completed the signup process, let’s go to the base for a meeting. Also, I have something I’d like to discuss with everyone."

"Weren’t all the girls taken away by Goddess Wu? Should we notify them as well?" Jin Qi asked.

"I’ve already given Little Yun a heads up about this, she will clarify things with the girls."

Everyone nodded, then got into three cars and headed to No. 72, Baojia Street.

Inside the living room of No. 72, Baojia Street, you guys surrounded the sofa and took a seat.

"Before we start the meeting, there’s something I need to let everyone know," you said without standing up, sweeping your gaze over the group, "I made a promise to an elder. I won’t go into the details of that promise for now, but this matter is more important than my own life and worth, and I must do everything in my power to fulfill it."

"Old Shu, just spit it out, we’re all family here. If you’re in trouble, as your brothers, we will definitely help!" Liao Yong was the first to speak up, his words firm.

"Got to help! The Boss’s business is my business!" Zong Wangyue said earnestly.

"President, even though I usually just run errands, when it comes to your matters, we must do what’s right," Jin Qi and others were in agreement, showing no hesitation.

You stood up and bowed to your brothers all around, "Thank you, everyone. This matter is a long story, but to put it simply, something happened in the Underworld last year, and I..."

Yang Kai raised his hand to interject, "Old Shu, when you say ’Underworld,’ do you mean... down there?"

Yang Kai even pointed to the ground as he spoke.

Seeing you nod, Yang Kai quickly added, "Continue then, pretend I didn’t ask."

"After that incident, many demons and monsters escaped from the Eighteen Levels of Hell. At the time, the Underworld sent a considerable number of Underworld Soldiers to capture them, and most were thrown back into Hell Way, but a few tricky stragglers remained. And now, I must eradicate every single ghost in Yuhang City within the next year or so, leaving none behind!"

Hearing this, Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses and asked, "Let me ask this, who else besides you does this concern?"

Wei Shuxian knew well that if it was just about you, with your personality, you wouldn’t put it so formally and would most likely handle it alone, climbing mountains or diving into flames by yourself.

After pondering for a moment, you named one person, "Zhao’er."

"Damn!" Yang Kai clapped his hands, "If it concerns the Goddess, then no matter what, we’ve got to do it! But Old Shu, leaving none behind... that’s a bit tricky."

"Xiao Feng has a point," you began, "Yuhang City is huge, with a population of tens of millions. Those creatures all hide in the dark. To eradicate them, we must have a thorough plan and avoid drawing their attention. Otherwise, if they united against us, we’d be in a lot of trouble."

"Madman’s right, we can’t rush this. We need a meticulous plan," Wei Shuxian adjusted his glasses and said, "Luckily, we have the cover of the supernatural detective society. Even if we target them one by one, it won’t alert the others."

"Yeah, Glasses is right. Let’s start making a plan and first identify our targets."

Xiao Feng continued, "Since these creatures have eluded the Underworld Soldiers, they must be hiding in places we wouldn’t normally think of, not those creepy haunted houses or cemeteries."

"I agree with Madman’s point of view," Yang Kai nodded.

You then said, "So, this time, the task for our information group becomes particularly important."

Hearing this, Zong Wangyue, Jin Qi, and Dai Zhenan nodded seriously.

As the leader of the supernatural detective society’s information group, Zong Wangyue thumped his chest and said, "Boss, rest assured, this time I will maximize my information resources and won’t miss any suspicious activity."

Turning to Xiao Feng next to you, you said, "Madman, these creatures aren’t like the little ghosts we’ve dealt with before. Some of them are evil ghosts that have been reincarnated in Hell Way dozens or even hundreds of times, utterly cruel. So be careful when dealing with them; if anything seems wrong, do not act blindly. You guys are my brothers; I don’t want anyone to get hurt."

"Don’t worry, we understand," Xiao Feng said with a laugh, patting your shoulder.

Dai Zhenan checked his watch and said to Yang Kai, "Little Kai, you’ve only got two minutes left for your Red Packet task."
