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...
After the parrot spirit and the female sheep spirit left, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi began their work. Ya Zi first searched the site and found that apart from some traces of pits, there was nothing else. He frowned and said, "Can we find out who the tomb owner was? How long they have been dead, and who they were in life?"
Yue Jiuling looked down at the information on her phone and shook her head, saying, "We still don't know. At the time, the archaeological team took away all the burial objects from the tomb, including the coffin and everything else. Even the people in the metaphysics department don't know who the tomb owner was."
"Didn't the archaeological team say anything? Or do they not know either?"
Ya Zi looked around and said, "There's hardly any corpse energy left here, but there's still some demonic energy. No wonder it's been surrounded and no one is allowed to come. But finding that ancient corpse is going to be a bit of a hassle."
Yue Jiuling knew that ancient corpses were hard to find. She looked at her phone and said, "Director Yu said that if we really can't find any clues, we can ask the director of the K1 department. I'll send him another message. Let's search around here tonight and see if we can find anything."
Yue Jiuling quickly sent the message, then put away her phone and said, "Let's go, let's walk around the neighborhood first."
Actually, the surrounding area is all wasteland. Apart from some flowers, trees and shrubs, there's nothing else around. Plus, it's pitch black at night. If it weren't for the fact that both of them have excellent eyesight in the dark, they probably would have just gone to the hotel to rest instead of investigating any cases.
Yue Jiuling knew that the people from the neighboring city of C had arrived earlier than them and had already set off. This was because the people who came to help were all the same; they all wanted to get things done as soon as possible and return home quickly.
"Tsk~ That fugitive is really something, why did he have to dig here of all places?"
Yue Jiuling squatted down on the ground, reached out and touched the soil, then said, "The aura is really a bit strong. Never mind, our mission isn't to catch the fugitive, but to find that zombie. Let's go check out the woods over there."
There is also a small grove nearby, but to be honest, it's just a small grove with a dozen or so trees.
Ya Zi took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked towards the small grove ahead. He said, "There probably aren't any clues in that grove, since the people who searched it before have definitely already done so."
Yue Jiuling actually knew that there was probably nothing left in the forest, but she still insisted on going to take a look. "Let's go take a look, it's not far anyway."
The moonlight wasn't very bright tonight, as most of it was blocked by clouds. The woods were sparse to begin with, and the flickering moonlight, combined with the occasional breeze swaying the branches, suddenly made the woods feel eerie and sinister.
Yue Jiuling carried her small bag and slowly walked towards the woods. As she walked, she talked to Ya Zi: "By the way, did you find out where our hotel is? If we don't find any clues later, let's go and rest. I was planning to work overtime, but for some reason, I suddenly feel a little tired."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable because you've been sitting in the car for too long?"
When Ya Zi heard Yue Jiuling's words, he looked up at Yue Jiuling and found that Yue Jiuling's expression was indeed not very good.
He said, "How about this, let's not work tonight and just go to rest?"
"Hmm, maybe. I have a bit of a headache. It might be because of my body. I've been using it for so long, but I still don't feel very good."
Yue Jiuling had originally planned to work overtime tonight because she wanted to finish the case and go home as soon as possible. However, for some reason, she felt a little unwell after getting off the bus. She was worried that something was wrong with her body, so she suggested that she rest for a while.
Ya Zi's thoughts were actually the same as Yue Jiuling's, but he didn't expect Yue Jiuling to be feeling a bit unwell, so he gave up the idea of working overtime. He said, "Then let's just wander around that forest and go back to the hotel. By the way, I need to find out where the hotel is first."
Although the forest was a bit eerie, there was really nothing left inside. After Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling searched the forest and found nothing unusual, they left to find a hotel.
On her way to the hotel by taxi, Yue Jiuling felt increasingly unwell. Not only did her body have a headache, but even her soul felt uncomfortable, and her spiritual energy seemed unstable. However, she didn't know why, so she didn't tell Ya Zi about her condition.
After arriving at the hotel, Yue Jiuling took out two jars of peach blossom wine and gave them to Ya Zi, saying, "Here, this is for you. I'm a little tired, so I won't drink with you. You can drink it yourself."
Ya Zi accepted the peach blossom wine. He actually wanted to drink with Yue Jiuling, but seeing how bad Yue Jiuling looked, he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll drink it by myself. You should get some rest. Humans are too weak. You should take it easy."
"Okay, then I'll go and rest now."
Yue Jiuling felt increasingly exhausted, so she ignored Ya Zi and went straight back to her room to wash up. After cleaning up, she wanted to release the several fragments of her soul to ask if her discomfort and unstable spiritual power were caused by them. However, she was too tired, so she had to rest first and ask them later.
