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 219 Memories

"What? How could you?"

When Yue Jiuling heard the little girl say those words, she was immediately stunned. Normally, when a ghost is reincarnated, it has to drink Meng Po soup. After drinking Meng Po soup, it will forget the things of the previous life and then it can be reincarnated. But how could this little girl remember the things of her previous life? Could it be that she was reincarnated without drinking Meng Po soup?

However, this possibility is almost impossible. Meng Po has been working in the ghost realm for a long time, and it is said that she rarely rests. Even if there is something urgent, she will let other ghost officers fill in. So if a ghost goes to reincarnate without drinking Meng Po's soup, it would be really troublesome.

Seeing this, Yue Jiuling had no choice but to take the mother and daughter to the side of the Ghost Gate. She asked the girl again, "Do you really still remember your past life? Did you remember it since you were a child or did you only remember it recently?"

"I really remembered things from my past life. I never remembered them before, but I only remembered them when I bumped into a ghost on the street just now."

The girl seemed very anxious. She wanted to enter the ghost realm. She said, "Comrades, please let me in. In my past life, my boyfriend and I made a promise to reincarnate together. But when we were queuing to drink Meng Po's soup, I took a sip and wanted him to drink it too. But he said he wasn't going to reincarnate and just pushed me across the Bridge of Helplessness."

There were always ghost messengers guarding the other side of the bridge. As soon as I crossed, they dragged me away to be reincarnated. If I hadn't encountered that ghost, I probably wouldn't have remembered my past life.

The girl's mother had always thought her daughter was strange, but after hearing her words, she gradually understood a lot. She looked at her child in astonishment and said, "Child, is everything you're saying true? You really remember all of this? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

"It's true, all of this is true. I just want to go in and ask him why he did this, why he didn't reincarnate with me?"

The girl's words convinced Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi to about 80% of their belief, but there was still one thing they couldn't understand. Ya Zi asked, "You clearly drank the Meng Po soup, so why would you remember these things after bumping into a ghost? Also, you were just an ordinary person in this life, so you shouldn't be able to see ghosts, right?"

Yue Jiuling also found this strange. She looked into the girl's eyes and said, "You don't have the ability to see ghosts, you're just an ordinary person. How can you see ghosts?"

"I don't know. Oh right, when I bumped into that ghost, it seemed surprised that I could bump into it. At first, I thought it was a human, but then I saw that it could fly and its body could become transparent. Then I remembered things from before."

The girl said that she and her boyfriend died in an accident together, and they made a promise to be reincarnated together, but unexpectedly her boyfriend changed his mind at the end.

"Please let me in to find him. I want to know the answer. Why did he do this? Didn't we already agree on this?"

The girl became increasingly agitated and kept trying to run into the Gate of Hell, but because she was now human, Ya Zi wouldn't let her in. Even the ghost messengers nearby heard the commotion and came out to investigate.

A ghost messenger came out and heard about the matter. He looked at the girl coldly with a ruthless face and said, "You are already a living person and cannot go in. As for your memories of your past life, that is not allowed to happen. So no matter what your reason is, we will erase your memories of your past life."

"No! I can't! Even if it means erasing my memories, I have to find him first. I need to get to the bottom of this!"

Upon hearing that her memory would be erased, the girl immediately became agitated. She desperately tried to rush into the Gate of Hell. Her mother couldn't stop her in time, and she rushed through. However, just as she reached the Gate of Hell, she was caught by another ghost guard.

"Hmph~ Foolish!"

The ghost guards grabbed the girl, trying to erase her memory. Yue Jiuling saw the girl struggling desperately and thought that she might be able to help her. So she went up and said, "Wait, actually, I think this might be able to grant her a wish."

Because Yue Jiuling and the ghost messengers were quite familiar with each other and often cooperated, the ghost messenger stopped when he heard Yue Jiuling speak.

However, he still said with some dissatisfaction, "Comrade Jiuling, are you going to help her? But it's against the rules for a living person to carry memories of their past life."

“I know,” Yue Jiuling said as she took the girl back to her side. “Actually, all she wants is an answer and the truth. Otherwise, even if you erase her memory this time, with her deep obsession, she might remember it again next time.”

Ya Zi also said, "Yes, maybe she encountered a ghost this time and remembered her memories. It's because her obsession is too deep. Otherwise, why would she still remember after drinking Meng Po's soup?"

Although the ghost messenger was somewhat dissatisfied with Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi's interference, he also felt that what they said made sense. He said, "Alright, then this matter is left to you. But it would be best to find her past life lover tonight, and not to delay too long."

“Okay, then I’ll take her inside,” Yue Jiuling said.

When the girl heard that she could finally go in, she happily thanked them, saying, "Thank you all so much!"

The mother, who had been watching them the whole time, wanted to go in with them when she heard them say they were going to some ghost realm, but Yue Jiuling interrupted her as soon as she made her request.
