Chapter 219 - Setting a Trap!
When the Black Vatican did things, they tend to use sly schemes.
Right now, there were no movements from them, which only signified that they had been scheming in order to have it all done at once.
Their most beautiful opportunity to make a move would be the unavoidable Main Campus Examination.
The Main Campus Examination couldn’t exactly disappear. If it did not take place, that would only notify the Black Vatican that the different powers were on guard against them. Furthermore, the Pearl Institute couldn’t exactly cancel such an important matter just because they were suspicious.
Forget it, let’s not think about these things. Let’s find the Shadow Beast first!

“Monkey, you’re currently in the Army, right?” Mo Fan called Zhang Xiaohou’s number.
“Yeah, Brother Fan, let me tell you, I’m really amazing right now…” As soon as Zhang Xiaohou heard Mo Fan calling, the serious demeanor he had built up within the Army suddenly turned into a child trying to brag about his grades as he began boasting.
“Did you apply to the central section on your own?” Mo Fan asked, feeling slightly shocked.
Zhang Xiaohou seemed to have mixed in well with the Army. The Army was making efforts to nurture him. Although he had to go through a year of central section training, he would be promoted to an officer once he returned.
“Yeah, you can learn a lot of things from there. Brother Fan, did you need something from me?” Zhang Xiaohou asked.
After their separation in Bo City, Zhang Xiaohou had chosen to enter the Army. He chose a road that majority of the students did not take, while Mo Fan went to Shanghai and competed within his school. The two of them walked different paths, but that did not affect their friendship.
“Yeah, I want to know more about one of the domesticated beasts in the Army, the Shadow Beast,” Mo Fan said.
“I’m not responsible for that area. However, I do have a companion who specializes in taking care of Shadow Beasts. I might not be able to get extremely classified information, but the more common things won’t be a problem,” Zhang Xiaohou said.
------
Zhang Xiaohou’s work ethic was quite high. Mo Fan called him in the morning, and by the afternoon, he had already sent the materials regarding the Shadow Beast over to Mo Fan.
“Brother Fan, if you are ever around the central section of the Army, come and find me, I really miss you!”
“I will!”
“Brother Fan, you must be really impressive now right?”
“Of course.”
“Brother Fan, you are still so immodest.”
------
Zhang Xiaohou’s companion really helped Mo Fan a lot. The materials stated that the Shadow Beasts that had been domesticated had an extreme craving for beef. They would have to eat at least half a cow every day. If you wanted to find a wandering Shadow Beast within Shanghai, then you’d have to start finding clues from some of the beef processing factories within Shanghai.
Mo Fan wasn’t in a hurry to go to the beef processing factories. Shanghai was a colossal city, the larger beef processing factories might not number a thousand, but there would at least be eight hundred. To find a Shadow Beast was easier said than done.
Soon enough, Mo Fan arrived at a police station. A high tier Hunter’s identity was no less than that of an officer. Mo Fan was able to use the police to help him find information regarding thefts.
“Mr Hunter, the reports that you wanted have been sorted. Since most of these are trivial matters, and a lot of these are about stealing and destroying meat, these kind of cases would at most have us sending some people over to take a look and take a report. For it to be completely investigated is rather impossible,” the female officer said to Mo Fan.
“Alright, thank you. Another thing, if someone makes a report regarding theft or destruction of meat, then please notify me as soon as possible. These are my contact details…” Mo Fan said to the female officer who helped him find the information.
“Alright!” The female officer seemed to be a rather new worker, she was very enthusiastic toward most things.
After leaving the police station, Mo Fan returned home to browse through the materials of these thefts and destroyed meat.
“The frequency of these events are relatively high within the Pudong district. Most of the recent cases are along Wan Street. This place should be close to the harbor, the imported meat would all be stored around here before they use trucks to deliver it across the city…” Mo Fan quickly had a direction to work from.
