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 156 Terrifying

Mr. Xu's villa wasn't very big, but it wasn't small either. The villa had three floors. After entering through the back door, Yue Jiuyue went directly into the hall on the first floor and saw a mahogany coffin placed in the center of the living room.

The coffin looked quite new; perhaps because it was frequently wiped clean, the lid was spotless.

"Tsk~ It seems this homeowner has a lot of problems. There are door gods and ghost security guards, and now there's even a coffin in the middle of the living room."

Yue Jiuyue walked to the side of the coffin and touched the lid of the coffin a lot. Just as she was about to open the coffin to see what was inside, her phone suddenly rang.

When she came out, Yue Jiuling returned her phone, saying it would make it easier to contact her. Yue Jiuyue picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed Yue Jiuling calling.

"Hey, Jiuling, I'm in. This homeowner is so strange, they actually kept a coffin in their house..."

Before she could finish speaking, Yue Jiuling quickly said, "Never mind what ghosts are around, let's find that safe first. We'll talk about it when something comes back."

After Yue Jiuling finished the phone call, she hurriedly hung up. Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuyue naturally stopped trying to open the coffin lid. She found the stairs and turned to go up.

Mr. Xu's study was on the second floor, but no safe was found in the study. Yue Jiuyue only saw two computers and some books and documents.

"Where's the safe? Wasn't there supposed to be another safe? I'll have to go look for it."

After searching for a long time, Yue Jiuyue finally found a safe in the bedroom on the third floor. However, the safe was a bit big, and Yue Jiuyue didn't know the password, so she didn't know what to do with it.

"Damn it, how much money is in this cabinet? It's so big, I don't have the combination lock. I can't exactly carry it around, can I? It's so heavy!"

Yue Jiuyue was a little troubled by the safe, because it was over a meter tall and looked very heavy. Yue Jiuling had told her that there was an undercover police officer working for Boss Xu, and the officer said that there should be some documents or something in the safe in the villa, and asked her to find those documents and take them back. But she didn't expect the safe to be so big.

"Damn. I know there's no password, but it's really going to be difficult for me to take it back. By the way, can I smash it? Won't that trigger some kind of self-destruct mechanism?"

She thought of a scene from a movie where someone tries to steal a bank's safe, but because they don't know the combination, they try to force it open. However, the safe is equipped with a self-destruct mechanism, which activates the self-destruct program if someone tries to force it open.

Yue Jiuyue was troubled by this thought. After thinking about it, she finally decided to try to force it open. She thought that this private safe shouldn't be that high-tech, and it probably didn't have a self-destruct device.

Having made up her mind, Yue Jiuyue raised her right hand high in preparation, and the next second she slapped the safe hard!

There was a loud 'bang' inside the villa, and then the safe in front of Yue Jiuyue was smashed to pieces, revealing a pile of cash, many folders, and some valuable treasures, such as jewelry and watches.

As soon as Yue Jiuyue saw that she had succeeded, she immediately reached out to grab the contents. However, just as her hand touched a document, a dark claw suddenly emerged from under the document and forcefully grabbed Yue Jiuyue's hand!

"What the hell is that?!"

Startled by the claw, Yue Jiuyue immediately dropped the documents and quickly tore off the claw, withdrawing her hand.

"What the hell?!"

Yue Jiuyue stood in front of the beyond-before-save safe, looking nervously at the claw. She saw a dark thing slowly crawling out from under the documents. At first, Yue Jiuyue was quite scared of this thing, but she was not so nervous after seeing what it was. It turned out that the thing was a little black ghost.

All I could see was a little ghost, probably only a few months old, sitting on the documents. Its entire body was covered in black skin, with charred scars in some places. It had no hair and was only wearing a small piece of clothing, making it look as if it had died in a fire.

The little devil grinned when it saw Yue Jiuyue. It seemed very happy, laughing 'giggle giggle'. Yue Jiuyue noticed that it had no teeth, just like a normal child, but its smile was still very eerie.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you in the safe?"

Yue Jiuyue reached out to take the documents, but now that she saw the little devil, she wasn't so scared anymore.

Although the little devil was only smiling at Yue Jiuyue, its butt was firmly pressing down on the documents, as if it was preventing Yue Jiuyue from taking them away.

"Hey, do you want to hit me? I'm not some good monster, I hit children."

When Yue Jiuyue saw that the little devil had pressed down on the documents, she stretched out her hand to scare the little devil, and even released some demonic power to show off.

That little devil was no match for Yue Jiuyue to begin with. It was already a little scared when Yue Jiuyue released her demonic power. However, since it was the guardian of this safe, it would be difficult to explain itself if it was scared away so easily. So it remained firmly seated on the documents and even showed a fierce look to Yue Jiuyue.
