Hangzhou was very close to Shanghai, or perhaps it could be said that Shanghaiâs urban area bordered the urban area of Hangzhou.
Mo Fan arrived in a small town in Jiangnan, a location in the north part of Hangzhou, following the instructions of the mature and sexy Mrs. Tangyue.
The name of the small town was Xishui, the name of it was somewhat interesting. However, after Mo Fan arrived in the small town, he realized that this place had cracked, soiled, and abandoned fields everywhere. Compared to the image of the Jiangnan waterways that Mo Fan had in mind, the difference was like heaven and earth.
What water? Letâs not even talk about a river, there was not even a brook to be seen around here. Even a small pond would be a huge problem to find.
The small town seemed to be a decent tourist attraction in the past, and it appeared to have some relatively classic inns. Following the address sent by the beautiful Tangyue, Mo Fan found the âSpaced Innâ. With a glance, he noticed the curvaceous, charming, and wonderful teacher who was sitting on the balcony, and Mo Fan felt much happier.
_Her round butt, and the impressive, majestic mountain peaks. Mrs. Tangyue, are you sure your last name is not Cang?_
Tangyue seemed as though she could sense Mo Fan. As her hair swept past, her eyes like limpid autumn waters were filled with joy as they gazed at the young man who had arrived.
â
âMrs. Tangyue is still that beautiful person from the past,â Mo Fan couldnât help but praise her.
âYouâre not bad, either. Reaching the Intermediate level at such a young age, even amongst the large noble family and associations, that could be perceived as a genius,â Mrs. Tangyue replied with a smile.
âMrs. Tangyue isnât that old either, right? I have yet to truly see your strength,â Mo Fan answered.
âAlright, stop playing dumb. I know you wanted to ask where I was during the calamity of Bo City, right?â Tangyue was very direct.
âAlright, I do want to know because I feel like Mrs. Tangyue isnât as simple as your regular Intermediate Magician⊠your background canât be normal, either. The only thing is, I donât understand why you came to teach in our Tian Lan Magic High. Is it because you did something that you canât tell people, or is it perhaps that you are actually the mastermind behind the Black Vatican?â Mo Fan wondered aloud.
Tangyue rolled her eyes as she heard this.
_This studentâs imagination is quite rich._
âDo you know of the Enforcement Union of the Magic Association?â Tangyue asked him.
âIâve heard a little about it. It is said they are a group of enforcement Magicians of the highest level, who specialize in catching Magicians who have broken the law?â Mo Fan replied.
âYes, and I am one of them. The truth is, we were somewhat aware of the plan the Black Vatican had for Bo City. Unfortunately, we were unable to foresee that they had laid down such a large-scale plot. With my strength, I could at most subdue that guy called Salang from the Black Vatican. The rest could only be left for Zhankong and his company⊠Itâs my fault, if I had been able to foresee their objectives earlier, then the calamity wouldnât have happened.â Tangyue didnât want to hide the truth from Mo Fan, so she explained things very directly.
âYou werenât at Bo City for even two years, whereas those people had been plotting it for more than ten years, assigning their personnel, and drawing up their plan. It was obvious that the higher-ups didnât put too much importance on the matters of Bo City, or else, how could they send you as the only spy to Bo City?â Mo Fan responded.
The disaster of Bo City was clearly something the Black Vatican had plotted for a long time. Considering the Enforcement Union was somewhat aware of this, and furthermore, that they had even assigned Tangyue to remain in Bo City, that itself proved that they werenât a group of total fools.
âAs of now, the news of Bo Cityâs destruction has been spread everywhere. Furthermore, the news of the Black Vatican has also been made public. I have also reported what I know, and the Enforcement Unionâs upper echelons have taken over this matter. I believe the Enforcement Union will be able to deliver justice for Bo City very soon,â Tangyue told him.
âForget it, letâs not discuss sad subjects. Letâs talk about why you have asked me to come. Did something happen in this small town? Why does it look so dried up?â Mo Fan changed the subject.
âYour observation is quite sharp; it is indeed as you said. The water resources of this Xishui town have dried up, itâs nearly like the drought in the northwest,â Mrs. Tangyue said solemnly.
âIs something happening here?â Mo Fan subconsciously asked.
After being in City Hunterâs Squad for so long, Mo Fan had a habit of linking these types of things to being the work of Magical Beasts.
If people thought there were no Magical Beasts in a large city, then theyâd were too naive. The bigger the city was, the more Magical Beasts there were, and more people eaten!
âIâm not too clear, it is reported that this strange thing has occurred in many cities and towns. The clues I have found so far are very limited, and that is why I need you to assist me here,â Mrs. Tangyue told him.
âThen you have found the right person. Before I became a Magician, I was determined to pursue a detective career. I have watched over six hundred episodes of Detective Conan, and am thus proficient in variousâŠOh, my point is, let me know what you need help with,â Mo Fan wanted to talk nonstop, but stopped in his tracks.
âMy background is very sensitive, it is very difficult for people to find out. If we arenât wrong, then the person wanted by our Enforcement Union should have an answer on him.â Tangyue pointed toward a man dressed impressively outside of the window.
âWhatâs wrong with him?â Mo Fan asked.
âWe donât know for now. However, going from experience, these matters tend to have Demons involved. This Demon is the usual Magician with a distorted personality. There are no lack of scheming Magicians. Even if they didnât join the Black Vatican, they have still done many things that are against the rules of Heaven. Killing people is a normal occurance for them. Donât judge him based on the way he is dressed, just like a little master from Hangzhou, the people they kill⊠More accurately speaking, the people they have killed are no less than that of Magical Beasts,â Tangyue said sincerely.
Tangyue hoped Mo Fan would understand that he wasnât here to disturb them, but to face off against those evil Magicians. Those Magicians never considered the lives of other people, and when the casting started, they were the first to take action.
âMrs. Tangyue, you summoned me to help deal with this kind of savage and frightening Magician⊠Iâm afraid I might not be able to deal with them.â
âI originally wanted to call for a Lightning Intermediate Magician; however, he is very far away. If I wait for him, then the wanted person would escape during that time.â Tangyue understood this kind of thing was a bit far-fetched for students like Mo Fan. However, Tangyue didnât want to let this kind of criminal do as he pleased.
âMrs. Tangyue, your matters are my matters. Donât be so polite, I will go and follow that guy, I guarantee that Iâll even grab his household register.â
âYou sly little boy, I see you wonât do anything unless I give you some benefits?â Tangyue glared at Mo Fan, that lovably angry appearance was indeed particularly graceful.
