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 172 The Basement

Upon hearing this, Master Li nodded, seemingly relieved. He then kicked the rotten, unusable coffin aside and said, "It's good that it came out on its own."

After the coffin was kicked open, a small staircase was revealed underneath, indicating that there was a basement beneath the coffin.

Upon seeing that the basement door had been opened, Mr. Xu said, "Luckily, this place wasn't discovered. However, we still need to retrieve those documents. Li, Master, do you have any ideas on how to get them back?"

Master Li had already descended the steps and was heading into the basement. His voice came from underground as he said, "There is a way, but I don't know if it will work."

"Alright then, it's all up to you."

Mr. Xu looked at Master Li, who had already gone down to the basement, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him down. However, the expression on his face when he went down looked disgusted, as if there was something disgusting in the basement.

In the basement, after Master Li went downstairs, he turned on the lights. As soon as the lights came on, everything in the basement was laid out before them.

The basement wasn't very big, only about ten square meters, but the things inside were shocking and terrifying!

Because inside were corpses and human organs, and even some children's corpses, but the corpses were small, looking like they were only a few months old and not fully developed, so they were probably the corpses of infants who had been aborted.

After entering the basement, Boss Xu covered his nose with his hand, as if he couldn't stand the air inside. He looked disgusted and said, "How is it? This place hasn't been discovered, has it? I think it's still fine in here."

Master Li was carefully examining the items inside. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, nothing was found here, and nothing is missing. So, the woman came for those documents, right?"

"Yeah, I think so too, but I don't know who she is or why she stole our documents."

Mr. Xu paused, unable to bear the air any longer. He turned to leave, saying, "I can't take it anymore, it stinks too much. I'm going upstairs."

Mr. Xu practically ran up to the first floor. Once he came out, he was panting heavily. He then said to the basement, "Master Li, Master, please come up quickly. I want to discuss something with you."

Master Li arrived quickly and said, "What is it? If it's not very important, I'll go back and bring a new coffin to block up the basement."

"This is important, this is very important!" Mr. Xu said hurriedly, "I don't feel very safe in this house anymore. Can I not move out?"

Mr. Xu has always lived here by himself. He is a bold person, so even though he knew there were ghosts and corpses in the house, he still dared to stay. But after this incident today, he felt uneasy and dared not stay here anymore.

Although he wasn't afraid of ghosts, he was afraid of dying. What if someone else came in and killed him? So he didn't want to live here anymore.

Master Li frowned upon hearing Boss Xu's request. He said somewhat disagreeingly, "If you don't live here, who will? Only the two of us know what's going on here; we can't let others know. What if someone else comes after you leave?"

"What I'm afraid of right now is someone coming in again and killing me!"

Mr. Xu said miserably, "That corpse only ran out for a moment, and I was already affected. What if someone else comes next time? I'm doomed!"

The reason Mr. Xu fainted earlier was because there was something related to him on the corpse. Once the corpse was found, Mr. Xu would know. However, if something happened to the corpse, it would also affect Mr. Xu. Of course, this effect would not be fatal, otherwise he would have died long ago; he might just be injured.

After what happened last night, Boss Xu was still scared. Seeing that Master Li still disagreed with him leaving, he thought of another idea: "How about this, Master Li, why don't you come and stay here with me? I'm really scared living alone. If you come, I'll be safe."

Master Li was already worried about the body and the documents, so when he heard Boss Xu make this request, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
