Song Cheng finally experienced firsthand what Li Lin and Xu Jiali mentioned in their report — dealing with Yu Sheng when suddenly something very logical happens that just feels off, but then you think about it and it seems reasonable, yet on further reflection, it still feels absolutely insane — what exactly that meant.

He glanced sideways at his two subordinates with the corner of his eye, and saw Xu Jiali with a strained face maintaining a silent tough guy demeanor, while Li Lin was almost unable to keep it together.

"…Well, I just want to confirm," after holding it in for two to three seconds, Song Cheng finally broke the silence, "You're saying, delivery and takeout… home delivery, right?"

"Yes, that's quite understandable, isn't it?" Yu Sheng was also a little confused by the other party's reaction, subconsciously scratching his head, "You know the special nature of this place. Not to mention finding the exact address, but without sufficient spiritual talent or proper preparation, ordinary people can't even get within a hundred meters of this house involuntarily, they would just avoid it, it's even tougher than your nodes, absolutely no one can approach, ordering takeout here I have to leave the address of a nearby supermarket, and picking up large items online is even more troublesome since I have to figure out how to retrieve them myself."

Song Cheng fell silent.

He remembered they were just discussing the "Dark Angel" — how did it suddenly jump from "invaders from outside the world" to "can't get deliveries within a hundred meters of your doorstep"? Good grief, where did that conversation go…

However, he quickly recovered, after all, it was he himself who had just brought up "report any troubles to the Special Service Bureau", he just didn't expect this "special entity" living in the Exotic Realm to actually come up with a specific issue so quickly, and the issue was so grounded, he was momentarily stunned.

But on second thought, "No home delivery for No. 66 Wutong Road" indeed has something to do with both the Exotic Realm and the entity...

"I'll go back and study this, see how we can solve this issue," the experienced captain quickly adjusted his expression, nodding solemnly, "If it doesn't work, we can set up a dedicated collection point for you here…"

As he said this, Xu Jiali reached out and patted Li Lin on the shoulder — the latter hadn't reacted to what was going on, just stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled looking at his colleague who suddenly patted him.

Yu Sheng then felt a bit uneasy: "That… is this appropriate? Isn't this excessively special treatment?"

"Not at all, not at all," Song Cheng waved his hands repeatedly, "Providing convenience to 'special individuals' living in the Boundary Land is also one of the duties of the Special Service Bureau, in fact, 'countering threats from the Exotic Realm and entities' is only a small part of the daily work of the entire Bureau, most of the rest of the time, we are more like the city's 'other side' property manager and housekeeper, it's normal for us to manage everything."

His words were actually not at all sugar-coated, solving the equally peculiar variety of issues for those quirky 'residents' hidden among humans in this city is indeed one of the daily tasks of the Special Service Bureau, the only thing he didn't mention is Yu Sheng, this "friendly entity" would seem too peculiar even among the peculiar creatures of the Boundary Land.

However, Director Baili Qing's instructions before his departure were still fresh in his mind, making Song Cheng hold back all his complaints.

The Director had said —

"As long as he doesn't want to overturn the Boundary Land, try to accommodate any requests he has — even if he really wants to overturn it, try to explain why it can't be overturned, just don't let him end up calling my phone."

Now recalling the Director's last words, Song Cheng could feel a chill down the back of his neck.

Then he looked up at Yu Sheng and asked another question: "Besides this, is there anything else?"

Yu Sheng thought for a moment: "Nothing at the moment… Ah, yes, also, I had asked you guys to help check on Erin's situation and Hu Li's background, have there been any developments on those two matters?"

As he asked this, the little figurine on the coffee table and the demon fox girl sitting next to it both pricked up their ears.

"Sorry, there's no news on that for the time being," Song Cheng shook his head, but felt somewhat relieved internally — after all, this was an area he was more familiar with, "We have sent a message to the contact station at Alice's Cottage, but there has been no response so far, perhaps the personnel in charge are temporarily not in the Boundary Land, and as for this Miss demon fox…"

Song Cheng hesitated for a moment, looking uncertain.

Yu Sheng leaned forward: "Ran into some kind of trouble?"

"Not a problem, but rather a bit of a bother — with only the limited conditions of 'demon fox' or 'Beastification Human', there could be too many possible outcomes; there could be hundreds of species in this world similar to Miss Hu Li, but we can't find a single place that matches the description of her homeland," Song Cheng said, glancing at Hu Li, and spoke in a negotiating tone, "So we were thinking of taking some of her fur samples back, if there's no other way, we might just do a biological comparison to identify her species."

Yu Sheng looked at Hu Li, who immediately nodded.

"If she doesn't mind, then I don't either," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "So just a fur sample will do, right? No specific quality requirements, right?"

While talking, he casually touched the sofa cushion next to him and handed something to Song Cheng: "Will this do?"

Song Cheng: "…Huh?"

"She tends to shed hair," Yu Sheng said expressionlessly, "and it's been falling out more as the weather has gotten colder—you guys don't actually need to discuss this with me specifically. Just sitting on the couch for a while, picking some off your clothes when you go back will be enough."

Hu Li's face turned a bit red, and she wrapped herself in her large tails, peering at Yu Sheng through the gaps: "I'm sorry..."

"No big deal," Yu Sheng reached out his other hand and patted the demon fox girl's tails (he wanted to pat her head, but she wrapped herself up), "just don't use your tails to wipe dishes next time, I end up eating hair."

A muffled voice came from the furball: "Oh."

Song Cheng's expression stiffened for two or three seconds before he finally fished out a sample collection tube from his pocket and carefully took several silver-white fluffy hairs handed by Yu Sheng, solemnly placing them into the glass tube.

He then led the two Special Service Bureau Officers and took his leave.

After their figures disappeared at the corner, Yu Sheng who had gone to the door to see them off, returned to the living room and sat on the couch, sighing deeply.

Then he immediately saw Hu Li still fluffily standing beside the couch.

She completely covered her eyes, leaving only her feet exposed outside, a huge tail-ball resembling an abstract sculpture standing there.

Seeing this, Yu Sheng found it both amusing and helpless, he reached into the pile of tails trying to "dig out" the demon fox girl: "Don't hide anymore, they've left."

Hu Li then showed her head, her bunch of tails slowly unfurling like a bloom, and then she looked at Yu Sheng with a hint of apology: "I... I'll clean the house from now on."

"Just clean the places you've stayed," Yu Sheng smiled, leaning back on the couch, "Also, next time you wash your tails don't forget to remove and clean the drain strainer, I just saw this morning that the drain was clogged again…"

Hu Li immediately curled herself back into a furball.

This time, Yu Sheng didn't forcibly "dig" the girl out from her tails, instead, he just patted one of her silver-white fox tails, smiling, and then turned to Erin who was sitting on the coffee table daydreaming: "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about those Dark Angels," Erin hesitated, her expression serious, "You said, knowing how dangerous they are, why do people still actively want to summon them? Although that 'Song Cheng' said that a large portion of the Angel Sect followers are transformed after encountering 'the guidance,' and can no longer be considered human, he also mentioned that a small portion seeks knowledge and power, willingly offering themselves to those 'Angels'... Why do humans do such things?"

"It's not necessarily all humans," Yu Sheng remarked, "This kind of 'courting death' behavior probably exists in every species."

He paused, curiously looking at the doll: "As for you, you ordinarily don't care much about 'world peace' and such, why are you suddenly so concerned about this?"

"…I'm not that heartless, okay!" Erin immediately glared, "I am a doll from Alice's Cottage! We seriously maintain world order, punishing evil and promoting good, helping others, don't get the wrong impression of a honest, kind, gentle, polite, fair, and upright lady…"

Yu Sheng was caught off guard by the doll's spiel, taking a while to match her lengthy description with the irritable little shorty in front of him.

This one really does have a big face for such a small body.

But he didn't dare to voice out that last thought.

"I need to catch up on some sleep," he waved his hand, addressing Hu Li and Erin, "Barely got any sleep last night, I'm about to pass out—wake me before dinner, I'll cook for you."

Hu Li immediately poked her head out of her tails, a radiant face: "Aye! Sure thing, Savior!"

Yu Sheng: "..."

He speechlessly glanced at the two treasures in his house (one of whom had now duplicated into two), then waved his hand and trudged upstairs, filled with sleepiness.
