Chapter 466 - 464: Footsteps in the Dead of Night
The Supernatural Detective Agency, in certain special circles of Hangsu City, was quite famous.
They specialized in handling a variety of supernatural-related incidents, whether it was a haunting at home or suspicions of a husband’s infidelity, solutions could be found here.
Blatantly operating an office that dealt with supernatural matters naturally caught the attention of the Hunter Association early on.
But after the Demon Hunters observed the agency, they discovered that it hadn’t really resolved any monster cases; the monsters continued to haunt, only changing their targets.
In other words, the agency was just a small-time scam with a little bit of skill, so the Association tacitly allowed the Supernatural Detective Agency’s existence.
The Hunter Association sought to prevent any genuine supernatural entities from coming into contact with ordinary people, but they generally let charlatans who were all bark and no bite do as they pleased.
Urban legends can’t be completely suppressed; attempting to immediately control and crush the spread of a new legend would only lead to blind speculation and curiosity among the public, and might even provoke a backlash.
Keeping some fake goods around meant legends remained just that, only now they were false legends.
Once people realized the falseness and ugliness of such tales, it made it much easier for the Hunter Association to cover up some real supernatural incidents.
However, the Supernatural Detective Agency unexpectedly gained a foothold in Hangsu City, and those who had used their services were very satisfied, which gradually improved the agency’s reputation.
