I'm Investigating妖怪Cases in the Human Realm

As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 117 The Crow

Because they received a report from the octopus spirit owner, and because the two were also very curious about the "Shi Ren" restaurant, they decided to go and investigate it secretly tonight.

The fried chicken, burger, and cola were quickly served by the waiter. This wasn't the first time Ya Zi had eaten this kind of food, but every time he ate it, he was just as delighted as the first time. He took a big gulp of the cola and said with great satisfaction, "Wow~ I really love this cola~"

Yue Jiuling looked at the message on her phone and said, "Since you like it, then drink some more~"

Yue Jiuling already knows about Yue Jiuzai's return, but because of some things happening in the Jiang family, she can't come back to find her right away, so she chats with them on her phone.

Yue Jiuling: Jiuzai, welcome back! You've worked hard!

Moon Nine Disaster: What's so hard about it? It's that I've been wandering around for so long, what's so hard about it?

Yue Jiu Nian: Haha~ Of course, it's thanks to you for finding us!

Moon Nine Disaster: I think it's alright. It's good to be able to find you all again, since being separated for so long is really inconvenient.

Yue Jiuling: ... Um, okay, it's good that you're back. But I probably won't be able to leave work for a while. If you can, come back and merge with me first, and then we can separate and go find the other split souls.

Yue Jiu Nian: No problem.

Lunar New Year Disaster: No problem.

Moon Nine Stars: No problem.

September: No problem.

Yue Jiuling: ...You two! Get back here right now! You've almost squandered all my money!

Yue Jiuling was annoyed by the two idiots who appeared at the end. She decided that she would take them with her wherever she went in the future, so that they wouldn't squander money if she didn't keep an eye on them.

In the chat group:

Moon Nine Stars: It's very windy today, I couldn't see anything~

September: Yes, I didn't see it either, I'm blind~

Yue Jiuling: Get lost!

Yue Jiuling was furious. She put down her phone, thinking that she should stop looking at it to avoid getting angry.

Seeing Yue Jiuling gritting her teeth at her phone, Ya Zi roughly guessed that it was her own split soul that was making her angry.

Ya Zi said, "What's wrong? Your divided soul has caused trouble again? Look how angry you are."

Helpless, Yue Jiuling showed the chat history to Ya Zi and said, "Well, it's lucky I'm a monster. If I were a normal human, I probably would have had a heart attack from anger."

Ya Zi said with a laugh, "Haha~ Is it really that exaggerated?"

"Of course there are. I'm so angry, you can imagine how angry those fragile humans would be."

Although Ya Zi had met those divided souls, he had never interacted with them and assumed they all had the same personality as Yue Jiuling. He said, "Tsk tsk, you guys are really interesting, always fighting with yourselves, it must be tough for you~"

"you do not say."

At 10 p.m., at the Jiang family residence in City C.

Yue Jiu Nian put down her phone, then lay down on the sofa on the first floor and said, "Sigh~ It's ten o'clock. I wonder if they will come tonight."

Yue Jiuzai looked at the brightly lit living room, then thought for a moment and said, "Should we turn this light off? Isn't it too obvious with the main light on?"

Yue Jiu Nian looked up at the brightly lit living room and felt something was off, so she turned off a few of the main lights, leaving only the normal lighting: "Hmm, this looks much more normal."

Yue Jiuzai nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's ready. Now we just wait for them to arrive."

Yue Jiu Nian continued playing on her phone, pointing and gesturing at it as she asked Yue Jiu Zai, "Hey, Jiu Zai, Jiu Ling said we're going to merge up. Do you think I should just die now?"

Yue Jiu Nian had actually been planning this for a long time. She couldn't keep replacing Jiang Nian forever, and she was thinking about whether Jiang Nian should find an opportunity to leave the scene.

Yue Jiuzai knew what she was thinking, and said, "Emmm, why don't you discuss this with Jiuling first? After all, having an extra body can make things much easier."

"Well, what you said makes sense. That's what I was thinking too. I'll go and discuss it with Jiuling first."

"Wow wow wow~"

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard the cawing of crows outside the house.

"Tsk~ Is it a crow? I actually quite dislike these things."

Yue Jiuzai opened the window and saw several dark crows flying around in the yard, making annoying cries.
