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 127 Going Mad

At five o'clock in the morning, a sanitation worker was sweeping the street. She was sweeping intently when she suddenly noticed a black garbage bag on the ground not far ahead. She went over to pick it up, but as soon as she touched the garbage bag, it burst open and a red thing jumped out!

The red thing looked like a skinned monster; it lunged at the sanitation worker, baring its fangs and claws, and then entered the worker's body.

"Ah~!"

After a scream, the possessed sanitation worker's face changed instantly. His eyes turned red, his body stiffened, and he dropped the broom in his hand, leaving the street in a daze.

"Ding-ling-ling!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, Yue Jiuling's phone, which she had placed on her bedside table the night before, suddenly rang.

"Go to sleep, you're disturbing my peaceful dreams so early in the morning~"

Although Yue Jiuling was very annoyed, she still got up and answered the phone: "Hello~?"

"Jiuling, are you up yet? I'm the section chief. If you're not up yet, get up right now! There's an emergency case today. You need to head to Xingyuan Street immediately. I've already notified everyone to assemble there."

"Okay, I understand. I'll get up and leave right away."

Upon hearing the person on the other end of the phone identify themselves as the section chief, Yue Jiuling immediately woke up from her drowsiness. She realized that the section chief had called her so early because of an emergency, so she immediately got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and headed towards Xingyuan Street.

Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue were also woken up at the same time, but they dared not complain because Yue Jiuling looked even worse than them.

"Hey, Chief, I just got off the bus and arrived at Xingyuan Street. Where are you?"

Because of the urgency of the matter, Yue Jiuling took a taxi to Xingyuan Street. As soon as she got out of the taxi, she called Director Yu, because she did not know that they were to meet at Xingyuan Street.

"Oh, you've arrived. Just come in from the bank side. There's only one bank on Xingyuan Street. You should know which intersection it is, right?"

It seems like Director Yu is having some trouble. There's a lot of noise coming from his side. He quickly said, "We're losing control here. Come help us!"

Yue Jiuling had been to Xingyuan Street before and was quite familiar with the area. She knew where the bank was, so she ran to the street corner where the bank was. But when she got there, she saw a strange scene!

What should have been a bustling and lively street had turned into a 'mini battlefield,' with everyone on the street acting like madmen, fighting amongst themselves!

Their facial expressions were strange, their eyes were red, and they were baring their teeth as if possessed. They rushed up to grab, bite, gnaw, and hit anyone they saw. The whole scene looked like a zombie apocalypse in a movie.

Yue Jiuling stared at them in disbelief. She saw her colleagues from the management office and some police officers struggling to stop the crazy people and then sealing off the entire street to prevent them from running out and hurting others.

"Jiuling, you've finally arrived."

When Ya Zi discovered that Yue Jiu Ling had arrived, he kicked several crazy people back into the street while blocking the street entrance with an iron net. He even had time to turn around and talk to Yue Jiu Ling.

After regaining her senses, Yue Jiuling also went to help stop those people, and then asked everyone, "What's going on? How did these humans become like this?"

Bai Xinyu had finished installing her own iron net. She clapped her hands and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Sigh~ I don't know either. I received a call early this morning and this is what I saw. If I hadn't seen that they didn't have any ghostly or demonic aura, I would have suspected that they were possessed..."

Ye Dongfeng also said, "Yeah, these people are like madmen. I'm starting to wonder if they've turned into zombies or something."

By this time, Ya Zi had connected his iron net with everyone else's. Looking at the humans who were still frantically fighting with their companions and ramming against the iron net, he said, "Tsk, could they be poisoned?"

Director Yu also came out today. Seeing that everyone in his department had arrived, he spoke with the police for a while, and after they left, he returned to his subordinates and said:

"Here's what happened. I received a report early this morning that something had happened on Xingyuan Street. People on the street suddenly went crazy and attacked anyone they saw. Then the people who were attacked were also infected and became attackers of others."

So our department was asked to come here to handle this case. Luckily, you all arrived in time, and the street was cordoned off with wire mesh; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Yue Jiuling looked at those people and then said, "Is this the only street where the incident happened? They seem to be possessed. Could there be other people like this in other places as well?"

Mu Xiaoyi said, "We don't know about that. So far, I haven't discovered anything, and I don't know what's going on with them."

Director Yu said, "It should only be this street for now. Xiao Baicai has already gone with the police. If there are similar incidents in other places, he will notify us."

Hearing what Director Yu said, everyone felt much more at ease. At least the accident only happened on this one street. If it had happened in other places, they would have been in a lot of trouble.

Hidden, looking at the crowd, said, "Alright, we've temporarily brought them under control. It's time to investigate the reason for their madness."
