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 169 Ghost Village

Seeing that Jiang Yan really couldn't remember, Yue Jiu Nianzai didn't say anything more, but said with a smile, "Can't remember? Then don't think about it for now. Let's go, they're already leaving."

When Jiang Yan looked up, he saw that Lao Hei and the others had already reached the village entrance. However, the people behind them were walking very slowly, and Fatty was still ahead of them. So Jiang Yan, Yue Jiu Nian, and the other two had not yet caught up.

After walking for a while, Old Wu turned back to look at Jiang Yan and the others. He said to the fat man who hadn't taken a step yet, "Fatty, you coward, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come up! Bring them all up!"

The fat guy was always slow and didn't want to leave at all, but after being scolded by Lao Wu a few times, he slowly led Jiang Yan up. He pushed Jiang Yan, Yue Jiu Nian, and Yue Jiu Zai in front, looking so cautious and worried that it was hilarious.

Yue Jiuzai held a piece of long green grass in her hand, which she had just picked up casually. She swung the grass back and forth, looking very relaxed, which made Yue Jiunian look quite disgusted.

Yue Jiu Nian turned to her and whispered, "Hey, can you be serious for once? Are you afraid people won't realize you're not afraid of ghosts?"

Upon hearing Yue Jiu Nian's words, Yue Jiu Zai immediately threw away the blade of grass and then pretended to be very frightened. His face changed so quickly that Yue Jiu Nian found him even more disgusting.

The closer they got to the village, the louder the sounds of gongs, drums, and firecrackers became. Old Hei and Uncle Zhao quickly entered the village, but neither of them dared to speak or look around. They planned to enter the village with their eyes closed.

However, their silence did not mean they could easily pass through the village, because after everyone in the group entered the village, many 'people' suddenly appeared inside.

All I could see was people from every household running out, all looking very excited, and then they all gathered around the procession.

"Oh my! Distinguished guests! We have distinguished guests visiting the village!"

"Hello everyone! Oh, you've come at just the right time! Our village chief is getting married, so please join us for a celebratory drink!"

"Yes, yes, it's such a joyous occasion, everyone come and have a drink to celebrate!"

"Come in, come in~"

Originally, everyone planned to ignore everything in the village and just walk through it, but suddenly a large group of villagers appeared and stopped the group, then invited them to a wedding banquet or something.

Lao Hei and Uncle Zhao initially walked with their eyes straight ahead and expressionless faces, intending to pretend they didn't see the "enthusiastic" villagers. However, they later discovered that ignoring them was useless, because the "enthusiastic" villagers would use all sorts of methods to forcibly pull them in one direction!

"Let go, we're just passing by, we're not attending the wedding..."

Old Hei held a black object in front of him and said to the villagers, "Thank you for your kindness, but we're in a hurry, so we won't go for drinks."

No one knew what Old Hei was holding, but it seemed quite useful, because the villagers were all afraid to approach him after seeing it.

Old Hei had a magical artifact, but the others didn't. Uncle Zhao and one of his men had already been dragged to the door of a house by several villagers and were about to be pushed inside, but they were still struggling and eventually ran back.

Old Wu had no magic weapons, so he held tightly to Old Hei's backpack so that the other villagers wouldn't dare to pull him away.

Actually, the village looked very small, with only a few households. The villagers who approached seemed very friendly and didn't look like ghosts at all. So when everyone was close together, nothing scary happened. It was just that being surrounded and pulled by the villagers was a bad feeling.

Yue Jiu Nian glanced at the children surrounding Jiang Yan, then looked at her own empty surroundings, and felt like sighing: "Sigh, am I being rejected by ghosts?"

Yue Jiuzai laughed: "The ghosts in this village don't seem to be too bad. They don't change their faces to scare people, but they're a bit too hospitable."

Yes, the villagers in the village are not human, but ghosts. However, these ghosts do not have a strong evil aura and do not look very bad, so everyone has not been frightened yet. They are just troubled by refusing to enter the house.

"Could it be that they really just want to invite us to their wedding?"

Yue Jiu Nian looked at the little devil beside her and said, "Hey, why don't you invite me for a drink?"

The little imp was a girl, who looked only a few years old. She seemed a little afraid of Yue Jiu Nian and Yue Jiu Zai. When she saw Yue Jiu Nian talking to her, she took a few steps back, and finally looked up and whispered, "Sister, sister has something on her, I'm scared~"

"Is there something?"

Yue Jiu Nian was taken aback upon hearing this, still wondering what was on her body. They were wearing human skin, so what could possibly be there?

By this time, she and Yue Jiuzai had already separated from the group quite a distance. Yue Jiuzai walked over and said, "Let's go. None of those ghosts want to harm anyone. Lao Hei and the others are almost out of here."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jiu Nian immediately stopped thinking about what the little devil had said. She turned her head and said, "Okay, where's Jiang Yan?"

Jiang Yan stayed with the fat man the whole time; he wasn't separated from them. It was only Yue Jiu and the other person who left their group. Yue Jiu said, "We're still ahead. These ghosts probably haven't seen any living people in a long time, so they've come out to have some fun."
