Capítulo 1470: Chapter 1459: Tit for Tat
“What should we say then?”
Hearing this, Ning Fan was stunned.
The original excuse was that Ma Fei’er was his cousin working in Zhonghai, but suddenly leaving seed a bit unjustified.
“Right.”
Ning Fan had a sudden idea and quickly said, “Just say I have sothing to do at ho and won’t return once I leave.”
In the room, Ma Fei’er suddenly stiffened, then whispered, “Let’s go with that.”
After a while, seeing Ma Fei’er saying nothing more, Ning Fan asked boredly, “Fei’er, are you asleep?”
“Not… not asleep yet. What about you?”
“I can’t sleep either.”
Despite fighting all night, Ning Fan was still full of energy, unable to sleep at all.
“Fei’er, what do you usually do?”
“Just traveling around the world exorcising demons.”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
…
During their chit-chat, the morning passed just like that, and Baby Hai returned ho from the Public Security Bureau.
Seeing Baby Hai pouting and sitting on the sofa, Ning Fan smiled and said, “Baby, what happened? Why so unhappy?”
“Nothing.”
Baby Hai forced a smile, then sighed, “It’s the vampire case from before.”
“Haven’t found the culprit yet?”
Listening to Ning Fan’s serious rambling, Ma Fei’er secretly covered her mouth and chuckled.
“Exactly. The culprit is still missing.”
Facing Ning Fan, Baby Hai forgot the confidentiality agreent, complaining about the whole affair.
After the failed snake-catching plan, the Zhonghai Public Security Bureau didn’t give up, still investigating in secret, but with no results.
The police had previously analyzed that it was a serial murder case.
The killer had a fixed ti to kill, motive, mode, and target.
Now, after so many days, no murder cases have occurred again in Zhonghai.
While the police were relieved, anxiety lurked beneath.
The police suspected that due to the previous plan’s failure, the culprit might have fled elsewhere.
This was the news Baby Hai received from the Public Security Bureau today.
Looking at Baby Hai’s worried face, Ning Fan said with a smile, “Maybe the culprit has been brought to justice.”
“Why?”
Seeing Baby Hai staring at him, Ning Fan felt uneasy and hurriedly said, “Didn’t you say soone saved you last ti? Maybe it was the hero who took action to eliminate evil and has already killed the culprit.”
Baby Hai hesitated, “Is that really possible?”
“Of course it is. Huaxia is full of hidden talents. There must be so capable individuals fighting evil for peace, unknown to the outside world.”
Saying this, Ning Fan instinctively glanced at Ma Fei’er. The Exorcist Ma Family was an example of this.
“That’s possible.”
Baby Hai nodded, then frowned, “But that’s not quite right! After all, we live in a society governed by law; even if the culprit is guilty, they should be tried in court.”
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flashed in Ma Fei’er’s heart, but she didn’t show it.
“Plus, these capable individuals setting up private courts and punishing evildoers is essentially illegal, no different from the culprit.”
In front of Baby Hai, the usually gentle Ma Fei’er imdiately retorted, “That’s not true. Punishing evil is not the sa as being a criminal. Shouldn’t those villains be killed? Is it wrong to kill them?”
The Exorcist Ma Family’s responsibility is to ensure peace in the world by exorcising demons.
For this duty, the Ma Family mbers have shed blood and sacrificed their lives without regret.
Hearing such words now, Ma Fei’er couldn’t endure it.
If it weren’t for Ning Fan, she might have left in a huff.
Baby Hai, unaware of the insider information, assud Ma Fei’er didn’t understand the law, and imdiately began to educate her, “Fei’er, you don’t understand. It’s not about right or wrong. Even criminals have rights and must go through a fair trial.”
“What kind of trial is fair? Debts must be paid, and murder must be punished; that’s universally right.”
…
Seeing the two getting more arguntative, Ning Fan quickly stopped them, interrupting their debate.
Ning Fan glanced slightly at Ma Fei’er, feeling she was strange, as if she’d lost her usual composure.
Considering Ma Fei’er’s temperant, she usually just makes a few comnts and chooses silence when the conversation fails.
“Baby, Fei’er is influenced by television; she doesn’t know as much as you, a police officer.”
Baby Hai nodded, “Those TV shows do affect many people, often promoting the spirit of chivalry.”
Hearing this, Ma Fei’er’s expression darkened, feeling hurt and thinking, “Is Ning Fan saying I’m uneducated, influenced by TV?”
Though Ma Fei’er cos from a millenary family, she is by no ans a modern-day “illiterate”; she graduated from an Ivy League school.
Ma Fei’er’s understanding of the law even exceeds that of Baby Hai.
But since she embarked on the path of exorcism, she’s seen the cris committed by monsters, hardening her heart, making her ruthless against them.
If judged by human law, many demons would be left unchecked.
So Ma Fei’er never bothers with evidence. When encountering demons, her approach is kill without rcy.
Better to kill a thousand wrongly than let one go.
As for whether the demon is innocent, Ma Fei’er wouldn’t consider it.
When Ma Fei’er first joined the Exorcism Association and was on a mission in so place in France, she rcifully spared a childlike young werewolf.
But because of Ma Fei’er’s kindness, it resulted in disaster.
During the full moon night, the young werewolf went berserk, massacring a small local village, leaving over a hundred dead.
This incident profoundly affected Ma Fei’er, making her vow never to be rciful again.
Which is why Ma Fei’er scoffed at Baby Hai’s words and rebutted.
At this mont, hearing Ning Fan side with Baby Hai, Ma Fei’er’s heartache could be imagined.
“Baby. If it’s ordinary criminals, what you say makes sense. But regarding these demons…”
Seeing Baby Hai still a bit indignant, Ning Fan sighed inwardly.
In fact, the verbal conflict seed to Ning Fan completely mismatched.
Monsters and ordinary criminals can’t be compared.
Even regarding the vampire hunted by Zhonghai Public Security Bureau—capturing or killing this monster would require countless lives or lead to failure.
Monsters pose too much threat to society; no one would think to give them a fair trial.
“But there’s no way to tell Baby Hai the truth.”
This is Ning Fan’s biggest headache, having to outwardly agree with Baby Hai’s view.
Unbeknownst to Baby Hai, and with Ma Fei’er deliberately aloof, this argunt beca a past episode.
