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 135 Plague Spirit

In the realm of gods, there is a deity called the God of Plague, who is in charge of all plagues and disasters in the world, including all bad things, hence the name God of Plague.

Although this plague god is not a benevolent deity, he is still an indispensable deity in the world, because disasters are an essential part of nature, so his existence is permissible.

When Ya Zi told Yue Jiu Ling that the thing possessing her might actually be a 'Plague Spirit', Yue Jiu Ling was stunned because she knew what a Plague Spirit was.

The Plague God is the master of all disasters and accidents, but he only appears during major calamities. He will not appear unless he is assigned a task by his superiors.

And what is a Plague Spirit? Actually, a Plague Spirit is essentially a subordinate of the Plague God. Because there are always minor disasters and troubles in the human world, but they are not very serious and do not require the Plague God's intervention, these are usually handled by the Plague Spirit.

So when Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi guessed that the culprit was the Plague Spirit, they were both a little confused. No wonder they couldn't figure out what was going on with this person at first. It turned out that it was the Plague Spirit who was behind it. But why was the Plague Spirit causing trouble here? Was this something that was allowed by the higher-ups?

Yue Jiuling couldn't understand what was going on, so she simply asked, "Hey, what exactly are you? You're not really a plague spirit, are you?"

The Plague Spirit, who was originally prepared to admit his identity after his identity was guessed, also generously admitted his identity: "That's right, I am the Plague Spirit, so if you don't want to die, get out of my way and don't interfere with my business!"

Upon hearing this guy's words, Ya Zi was immediately displeased. He sneered, "Hmph~ Do you think we'll believe you just because you say you're a plague spirit? Who knows if you're real or fake? I've seen the real plague god before. How are you going to prove your identity?"

Yue Jiuling also felt that this thing was far too arrogant. She pointed at Ya Zi and said unhappily, "That's right, let me tell you, this is Yinglong's second young master, Ya Zi. You'd better honestly tell me what you are, otherwise, you know what will happen~"

Yue Jiuling immediately brought up Ya Zi's true identity to scare the 'Plague Spirit'. Although she didn't know if the Plague Spirit was really on orders to 'do something', it was too much to cause such a big incident for no reason. Moreover, these people weren't going to experience any great disasters at all, but were driven crazy, which made Yue Jiuling very unhappy!

"Tell me, what exactly are you?!"

When Ya Zi realized that his identity had been exposed, he simply transformed back to his original form.

When it saw that Ya Zi had really transformed, the thing possessing Yue Jiu Ling naturally believed Yue Jiu Ling's words. It flew out of Yue Jiu Ling's body and turned into a little doll that was all red. However, this little doll was not like a normal doll. Its eyes were red, its hair was red, and its whole body was red. It looked very strange.

After the little baby flew out, it said to Ya Zi, "Are you really Ya Zi?"

Yazi has already transformed back into human form, because he is worried about being discovered by others.

He looked the little baby up and down and said, "Of course, I came down from heaven to play. Most people in heaven know that now. You can go back and ask them to find out if it's true or not."

Yue Jiuling also said, "That's right, he really is Yazi, but are you really a plague spirit? If you really are, why don't you follow your old rules? What kind of nonsense is this possession you've put on this time?"

I've heard of the Plague Spirit's previous deeds before; he would just cause some minor disaster or flu to take some people away. But what he did this time was very wrong and didn't follow the usual rules at all.

"Um, I am indeed the Plague Spirit, but this time something is definitely not right."

The little Plague Spirit lowered his head, his little hands twisting together shyly, and said, "Actually, the Plague God gave me this mission to bring a small disaster to this place, that is, this street was going to catch fire and kill most of the people. But because I was playing, I missed the time when the fire was supposed to start, so I did this instead..."

After hearing the plague spirit's explanation, Yue Jiuling and the others understood. They usually had to complete their tasks within a specified time, and if they missed the deadline, or if they arrived early or late, they would be punished.

So, in order to avoid punishment, the Plague Spirit created this thing that resembled a contagious disease to cause trouble. As long as unexpected events occurred in this place, the people above would not discover that the Plague Spirit had made a mistake.

After learning about the Plague Spirit's plan, Yue Jiuling asked, "Tsk tsk~ I didn't expect you to be so cunning at such a young age. But now that we know your plan, what are you going to do? You're not planning to kill a few people and then go back to report, are you?"

Plague Spirit, whose thoughts had been guessed, still lowered his head and said, "That was indeed my original plan. I would drive them all crazy first, then have a few jump off buildings and die, and a few die from the disease, and then I could go back. But I didn't expect to run into people like you."

Ya Zi looked at the doll in front of him, sighed and said, "Actually, if you hadn't missed the time and carried out the mission on time, we wouldn't have shown up at all. But now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to show up. We must stop your plan."

If the fire had occurred as scheduled, their department wouldn't have bothered to investigate, since the disasters brought by the plague spirits were preordained. However, given the current situation, their department had no choice but to intervene.
