"Oh~ so the sister-in-law didn't know..."
"Tsk! You really can't take a joke, can you?"
"Haha!"
Seeing the two of them start teasing each other back and forth, the little girl pouted, turned around, and continued to lead the way.
Although the Listener's activity space had been forcibly compressed, they couldn't hide the commotion around the orphanage from her.
The little girl had already heard the conversation between the two in the car, and any doubts in her heart were instantly dispelled.
Watching Back's figure, Ning Shisan let out a slight sigh of relief.
Martyrs' Cemetery... Martyrs' Cemetery...
Silently chanting it twice in his heart, Ning Shisan returned to that state of being ready to face death.
He really had nothing to fear.
After all, the disease within his body, or the monster in the orphanage, one of them would take his life...
Soon, Ning Shisan saw the number one target marked as "extremely dangerous"—the kindly-faced director of the orphanage.
He dared not look too much, just feigned a look of disinterest and casually glanced at the few mixed-colored stray dogs going in and out of the yard.
It seems this orphanage really does keep quite a few stray dogs...
"Thanks to both of you, I've already seen the notice. If there's anything you need, we'll do our best to cooperate."
"Hehe! The old director is joking, we're just doing a routine safety inspection.
I'm familiar with the situation here. There are a lot of dogs in the yard, but none of them are dangerous breeds. We'll just take a quick look around and won't disturb you for long."
With respect in his heart, Dark Skin naturally decided to just go through the motions, avoiding any more bad luck.
However, at that moment, the old director's previously relaxed expression suddenly wrinkled, the little girl had the same look too.
Both of them almost simultaneously glanced towards the door.
Not long after, the sound of brakes could be heard outside, followed by the sound of a car door closing and people talking.
"Where's the person in charge of the orphanage? Safety inspection!"
Before the person arrived, a loud voice came over, and then several men in uniforms walked in, holding the same capturing nets and forks as Dark Skin and his partner.
The two groups, looking almost identical, were stunned when they saw each other, immediately staring wide-eyed at each other.
"I am the person in charge here, may I ask who you are..." The old director stared at the three newcomers.
"We're sent from the town to do a safety check. I see you have quite a few dogs here. Are your documents complete? Hurry up and provide them, we're on a tight schedule."
The leading man looked impatient, suggesting an air of arrogance.
"Wait a minute, you're saying you're sent from the town? Didn't the town assign us this inspection task? Did you get it wrong?" Dark Skin questioned.
"What?" The leader was taken aback too, seeing that Dark Skin and his partner seemed to be in the same line of work, he turned with some dissatisfaction to look at someone behind him.
"How could you mix up the task location?"
That guy took out a booklet, flipped through it, and looked puzzled.
"No mistake, it's here, Jinghai Welfare Institute, it's on the task list they gave us, I've even checked the door number."
The leader was stunned for a moment, then started cursing.
"Damn it! These slackers, even manage to double-issue a task? We came all this way, do they think our cars don't burn fuel? These *&%¥¥%..."
Ning Shisan watched the leader spew colorful language, and tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Well then, turns out they're an acquaintance...
He had seen this face not long ago, but it was in war-torn Syria.
Hmm, he seems to remember the last name Chu?
"Dark Skin bro, aren't we the only dog capture team in our town?" he spoke up at the right time.
"Hmm... I did hear that this time it's urgent and the town brought in a dog capture team from the city to help, it must be them." Dark Skin explained quietly.
I see...
The caution in the old director's and the little girl's eyes slightly eased.
Because of the full-town search, although they could still maintain surveillance around the orphanage, the range had been greatly compressed, lowering their ability to perceive external intelligence to a minimal level.
Otherwise, beyond 10 kilometers, these people would have long been under strict surveillance.
After a round of cursing, the leading man finally looked at Dark Skin, his gaze carrying a bit of superiority.
"Brother, looks like our tasks collided. I won't waste words, let's each do our inspections separately so we can report back without arguing over whose fault it is with those office people."
Dark Skin and his partner exchanged a glance, "We have no objections."
"Good!" The leader nodded in satisfaction and then turned to the old director.
"Hello, please show your documents, dog owner ID, dog registration certificate, Rabies Vaccine certificate, property proof of dog-keeping address..."
"Ah, this..." The old director immediately showed a troubled look.
With so many documents, it's overwhelming even for an alien, let alone me as the orphanage director.
Seeing this, Dark Skin quickly handed over a cigarette.
"Hey! Brother, you see these are a bunch of stray dogs kept by kids playing, how would they know to get this certificate or that one?
They're all pitiful souls, how about simplifying the process and giving them a break?"
"A break? If we give everyone a break, would this count as neglect of duty? Is this how you handled work before? We don't have such practices." The leader took the cigarette but didn't give in.
