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 282 The Problem with Barriers

"What's going on?"

Xiao Lan was puzzled by Feng Meng's words and kept pestering him, asking, "Tell me quickly, what do you know?"

"Do you really want to know?"

As Xiao Lan tugged at his clothes and pressed him for answers, Feng Meng suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Are you sure you won't regret it?"

"Um, I hope I won't regret it?"

Looking at Feng Meng's expression, Xiao Lan suddenly became hesitant about whether she wanted to know. However, after thinking for less than half a minute, she finally said, "Yes, I'll listen."

"Alright, just don't regret it later."

Feng Meng grinned mischievously and beckoned to Xiao Lan, then whispered in her ear, "I just saw one, a ghost!"

"Huh? A ghost? You're not kidding, are you?"

After hearing Feng Meng's words, Xiao Lan was skeptical and said, "Is it really a ghost? But Sister Jiu Li and the others are in the car too, how could there be a ghost?"

"Hehe~ How could it be gone? Let me tell you, that ghost was actually found by Sister Jiuling!"

Feng Meng felt goosebumps as soon as he talked about what had just happened. He rubbed his arms and said, "Sigh... I feel like I shouldn't have gotten involved in their game in the first place."

"Um, so this is the game that Sister Jiuling and the others are playing?"

Xiao Lan looked at Feng Meng with a complicated expression and said, "Fine, damn it, it's really not suitable for you to play. I heard those words too."

Feng Meng continued rubbing his arms and said, "Alright, never mind, I'll go find the director first and see how to film the next scene."

When Xiao Lan saw that Feng Meng was going to find the director, she went with him.

Inside the bamboo forest, a large flock of crows flew around overhead, constantly cawing loudly. The unpleasant cries made Yue Jiuli want to go up and kill the crows several times!

"Stop! Shut up! All of you, stop arguing!"

Finally, Yue Jiuli couldn't help but shout at the sky, "Shut up, everyone! Don't make a sound!"

After she finished speaking, she pointed at one of the crows and said, "You, that's right, you, you chatterbox, the rest of you are not allowed to make a sound!"

"Wow, okay, sir!"

"Stop yelling! Enough with the nonsense, just tell me what happened. Tell me why the bamboo forest turned out like this!"

Yue Jiuli's ears, which had finally gotten a little peace and quiet, were disturbed again. She stood angrily in the messy bamboo forest and pointed at the little crow, shouting.

The crow she pointed to was the same talking crow from before. After gaining the right to speak, it flapped its wings and flew to Yue Jiuli's side, saying, "It's like this, our king has been out fighting with other animals these past few days, and we have to stay here to watch over the bamboo forest. But just yesterday, a big bug came to the bamboo forest, so the bamboo forest is like this now."

"So, you mean that the giant insect was able to pass through my barrier and enter the bamboo forest without me noticing, and even damage it?"

"Hmm, I guess so~ After all, when it appeared yesterday, you didn't even notice it and rushed back, and we couldn't stop it, nor could we leave this place casually..."

Yue Jiuli was somewhat surprised when she heard the news, because she had left a barrier in the bamboo forest before leaving last time. She just didn't expect that when that big bug came yesterday, it didn't disturb her at all. It even passed through her barrier and came in to dig up the soil and break the bamboo again, and she still didn't feel that her barrier had been broken!

"What on earth is this bug? How can it be so powerful? It passed through my barrier and I didn't even notice! Tsk!"

While using magic to repair the bamboo forest, Yue Jiuli went to find Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi.

Yue Jiuli and Ya Zi were on the other side of the bamboo forest. They didn't want to be disturbed by the crows, so they had already run away when the crows flew around Yue Jiuli. They were currently standing on a very tall tree.

"Nine Spirits, so you're here!"

When Yue Jiuli found them, they were looking at a place not far away on the mountain.

Yue Jiuling knew Yue Jiuli had come over, and without turning her head, she said, "Have you finished asking your questions? They're so noisy!"

"Oh, isn't that normal? They're a talkative breed, after all."

Yue Jiuli lightly lifted her toes and leaped up into the tree. She then imitated Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, looking up at the other side of the mountain and saying, "Hey~ what are you all looking at?"

“I’m looking at a place that seems very familiar,” Yue Jiuling glanced back at Yue Jiuli, then pointed to the mountain and said, “That temple, the more I look at it, the more familiar it seems. Long Er, what do you think?”

"Well, I think maybe your guess is right~"

Ya Zi has now realized that the temple on this mountain is the same one they went to last night. He wasn't sure at first, but it looked very familiar. Yue Jiuling also thought it looked like the temple from last night. However, all of their guesses were just confirmed because he saw an old woman appear at the entrance of the temple.

"Hehe~ I knew it~ It looked so familiar, it really is it~"

After confirming that the temple was the same one they had encountered the previous night, Yue Jiuling turned to Yue Jiuli and asked, "What? Where's your bamboo? Didn't you say you were going to show it to me?"

"Oh, right, Bamboo, I've already restored the bamboo forest. Go take a look."
