Chapter 6

Ji Mian Waterfall.

A car stopped in front of a small wooden house.

In the attic of the wooden house, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, with his left hand cuffed to a pillar, sat against the wall. He showed no reaction to the sound of the car.

After a moment, a rustling sound came from below.

Then, the wooden boards of the attic floor were pushed open, and a rope was thrown up. A figure nimbly climbed into the attic.

Chi Fei Chi's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and he stood up with the rope, seeing Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang leaning against the wall. "I found you."

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang lifted his head, his gaunt face expressionless, his narrowed pupils reflecting the man in black before him, wearing a cap pulled low.

From his angle, he could see the man's pale purple eyes, cold and indifferent, staring down at him from under the brim of the cap...

He, he was found...

They, they must have come for him!

The hunger in his stomach suddenly disappeared.

He felt it, he felt it...

His weak, hungry body was once again filled with strength.

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's hands trembled, and he lowered his head, his expression gradually turning fierce. He suddenly lunged at Chi Fei Chi, "Die!"

Chi Fei Chi didn't move, calmly watching the figure lunging at him, the skull-like face, the fierce yet fearful expression...

He also watched as Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, with his left hand cuffed, was pulled down and fell to the ground.

Hmm... It was indeed correct not to get closer earlier.

Don't be fooled by Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's near-starved appearance; the heavy thud when he fell showed how much strength he had just exerted.

Although he had been in this body for over a month and had been training systematically, the time was still too short.

Even with the good foundation and potential of this body, and his efficient training plan, he wasn't confident in facing Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, who could burst with such power.

"Ahh—!"

After falling, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang struggled and roared, getting up and lunging again, falling, lunging, and falling again...

"You can't harm me! Kill you!"

"Get away!"

"Kill you! Kill you!"

Seeing Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang clearly in a frenzied state, Chi Fei Chi looked down at his clothes and remained silent.

Is there something wrong with wearing black?

Black is understated, stable, and easy to match. He wore black for years in his previous life, and his male friends also liked black... So what's wrong with wearing black!

Just because members of a certain organization wear black, others can't wear it?

As for his cold expression...

Can't he be used to it?

After three minutes of repeated lunging and falling, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang fell again and didn't get up, panting heavily on the ground.

Chi Fei Chi spoke, "Stop torturing yourself. I'll take you to prison. It's safe there."

"Prison..." Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang muttered.

Chi Fei Chi stood still, not moving forward.

Sure enough, after a moment, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang caught his breath and jumped up again, lunging and falling.

"It's impossible!"

"You won't be so kind to send me to prison!"

"You never intended to let me go, right?!"

A minute later, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang fell again, exhausted.

"Enough."

Chi Fei Chi then took a needle from his pocket, walked forward, and squatted down, placing the rope aside and fiddling with the handcuff on Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's left hand.

In his previous life, he had practiced martial arts for over ten years, so he could tell when someone was truly exhausted and to what extent.

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang stared at Chi Fei Chi, breathing heavily. After the handcuff on his left hand was opened, he lunged again.

At the same time, Chi Fei Chi grabbed the rope, stood up, and sidestepped, tripping Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang as he lunged forward. He then grabbed Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's wrist and pinned him to the ground.

This time, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang didn't struggle, allowing Chi Fei Chi to tie him up and take him downstairs.

Of course, he had no strength left to struggle.

Chi Fei Chi threw Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang into the passenger seat, tied him with a seatbelt, took out his phone, and took a photo, sending an email to the address provided in the bounty task:

"Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang captured successfully. Location: Osaka

—July"

"Deliver to the nearest police station. Verify and pay the bounty."

"OK"

In the car, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang stared at the box on the dashboard.

Chi Fei Chi put away his phone, took the box, opened it, and handed it to Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's tied hands.

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, with his hands tied in front, took the box, glanced at Chi Fei Chi's gloves, seemingly noticing for the first time that Chi Fei Chi had been wearing gloves, but didn't ask, and silently started eating voraciously.

Chi Fei Chi got into the driver's seat. He didn't dare to untie the ropes, so he let Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang eat like that, but he was a bit worried that Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang might choke, so he didn't start the car immediately. He waited for Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang to finish the octopus balls, took the box, and handed him a tissue.

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang silently wiped his mouth.

Chi Fei Chi took the tissue, opened a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang.

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang drank voraciously.

After Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang had his fill, Chi Fei Chi started the car, "As a thank you for the meal, can you keep my appearance confidential when the police ask?"

Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, holding the water bottle with both hands, remained expressionless and silent.

Chi Fei Chi didn't expect Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang to agree and drove away from Ji Mian Mountain.

He didn't want to be identified too quickly, as he was worried about being disqualified from bounty hunting due to his "mental health history."

But as long as he demonstrated sufficient ability, making the other party feel that the "small issue" was acceptable compared to the help he could provide, it would be enough.

Although bounty hunting was a free individual activity, the official organizations were the biggest clients...

...

2:36 PM.

At the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, the operator received a strange call.

On the other end, a low, hoarse male voice said, "Hello, your delivery has arrived at the police station entrance. Please come and receive it."

"What?" The operator was confused.

But the caller had already hung up.

"What's wrong?"

"I received a strange call, saying that a delivery has arrived at the police station entrance..."

"Did you order a delivery to the police station?"

"No, I didn't order anything... and I was on the emergency line, not my personal phone!"

"It can't be a wrong number, and they said it's at the police station entrance..."

"Let's go check it out!"

A colleague accompanied the operator downstairs. They immediately noticed a large cardboard box, about half a person's height, placed by the roadside under a tree.

They noticed it immediately because the box had a large printed note:

"Live delivery. Handle with care. No rough handling."

Not far away, Chi Fei Chi sat quietly in his car, watching the police receive the "delivery" and feeling satisfied.

It was good that it wasn't treated as a prank call; otherwise, he would have had to call again in a few minutes.

However, there was a bit of a mess...

Two police officers, not daring to open the box rashly, called in the bomb disposal team.

After the bomb disposal team carefully opened the box, they saw Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, expressionless and tied up like a mummy, sitting inside the box.

A printed note was attached to Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's body: "I, wanted criminal, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang."

The police officers were silent for a moment, then quickly took Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang out and brought him back to the station.

Watching Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang enter the police station, Chi Fei Chi turned his attention back, started the car, and left.

Fortunately, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang and the police officers were smart enough not to create a "re-escape" scenario.

The "delivery"... no, Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang, was delivered twenty minutes later, and the transfer was completed.

35 million yen.

About 220,000 RMB.

In his previous life, the highest bounty for providing information leading to the arrest of a wanted criminal in China was 100,000 RMB, with no actual bounty.

Considering Shao Yuan Ji Yi Lang's danger level, the price was reasonable, and it was roughly equivalent to a year's salary for an average worker in Japan.

Chi Fei Chi returned the car, paid 5,000 RMB for the rental, and the owner smiled and saw him off.

A fat calico cat in the shop meowed lazily, immediately drawing the owner's attention, who turned and smiled, petting the cat.

Chi Fei Chi glanced at the cat, "Do you usually feed your cat dried fish?"

"Ah?" The owner was surprised, "How did you know?"

"I studied veterinary medicine. This cat's fur looks well-maintained, so I guessed it might be fed dried fish regularly."

Chi Fei Chi brushed it off, chatted with the owner for a bit, and then excused himself, turning to leave.

He was indeed a veterinary medicine student at Tokyo University, and his enrollment status was still active, but the part about the fur was a lie.

The fat calico cat, seemingly purring, was actually saying—

"Stingy, fat fish lips, making so much money every day but not buying a live fish for me, just dried fish, just dried fish...!"

Yes... the "hallucinations" appeared again.

However, after confirming over the past month, Chi Fei Chi was certain this wasn't a hallucination.

The animals and plants were speaking the truth.

For example, the large tree in the hospital courtyard spoke about the hospital's history, a doctor's personality, and someone's secret, all of which he had secretly verified and found to be true.

During the verification, Fukuyama Shigeaki discovered and talked to him. At first, he tried to resolve the issue through communication, but Fukuyama Shigeaki's diagnosis was—delusion, hallucination.

How could he know things he shouldn't know before he even knew the hospital?

Fukuyama Shigeaki's explanation was—'Actually, these are things you subconsciously know or have observed. Under normal circumstances, you don't remember or recognize them, but during hallucinations, your subconscious reflects what you know...'

Blah, blah, blah...

In summary, it was—superpowers are impossible, this isn't animals or plants speaking, it's your delusion! You are seriously ill, and I must make you recognize and accept this!
