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 323 The Hungry Ghost at the Needle's Mouth

Seeing that the few hungry ghosts with needle-like mouths had run away and even abandoned the large pot, Yue Jiuzai walked up to it and said, "What kind of ghosts are being cooked here? Let me take a look first~"

"Holy crap! These are..."

Upon seeing what was in the pot, Yue Jiuzai immediately turned over, feeling like vomiting. The pot contained human heads, eyeballs, intestines, and other internal organs.

My God, have they captured a living person to cook? But how did a living person get in here?

Despite her nausea, Yue Jiuzai looked at the large pot again, because she couldn't believe that the hungry ghosts could catch living people to cook.

However, after looking at it more closely, she realized that these things did not seem to come from the same person. The hands and feet inside were of different sizes, so it was obvious that they were not from the same person. Moreover, the meat was not fresh, and the meat inside was black.

"Tsk, if they're not from the same person, then maybe they were found somewhere? Or maybe they dug them up from the human realm?"

Thinking of this, Yue Jiuzai remembered that it wasn't time to leave before the eleventh. The ghost realm had been quite unsettled lately; perhaps someone had indeed smuggled themselves out.

Even if she suspected that a ghost had secretly slipped out, this matter was not under Yue Jiuzai's jurisdiction; she was just looking for her own things.

Since leaving that prison, Yue Jiuzai has been heading west. The places along the way are quite desolate. Apart from occasionally encountering a few strange ghosts, Yue Jiuzai hasn't encountered anything else. However, she feels that the chances of finding her true form are very slim.

"Sigh, never mind, I guess I won't find anything here. I hope Yue Jiujie and Jiu Nian can find something."

As Yue Jiuzai continued walking forward, she muttered to herself. Little did she know that Yue Jiunian, on whom she had placed her hopes, had already suffered a soul injury and was currently recuperating.

The Demon Realm, Border City.

Night fell again, and instead of booking a hotel, Yue Jiuli jumped to the rooftop of the hotel where Tanlang was located.

"Tsk tsk~, this hotel looks pretty good. No wonder Tanlang chose to recuperate here. I just don't know if I can take his life tonight."

Since Tanlang wasn't actually dead, but just injured, Yue Jiuli had no choice but to come and help Qiyou kill him. Otherwise, when Qiyou woke up and found out that Tanlang was still alive, he might be furious.

That's right, Yue Jiuli already knows that Qi You has become a demon, so she plans to help.

However, the hotel was not only occupied by Tanlang, but also by his many guards and the two-headed water dragon!

After learning that the two-headed water dragon had injured Yue Jiu Nian and damaged her soul, Yue Jiu Li was very unhappy. However, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to admit that the two-headed water dragon was indeed very strong.

However, after learning that the Twin-Headed Water Dragon had also been injured, Yue Jiuli no longer took it seriously. Since it was injured, it was definitely not as powerful as before. So, taking advantage of the fact that there were still two injured monsters that night, Yue Jiuli decided to launch a night raid!

Just after midnight, the staff downstairs at the hotel were changing shifts. While they were changing shifts, Yue Jiuli secretly climbed down from the rooftop and then slipped into the stairwell with the window open on the top floor.

After entering the stairwell, Yue Jiuli checked how many guards were downstairs, and then began to walk down the stairs to find Tanlang.

She didn't actually know which floor Tanlang stayed on, but since there were wolf guards on three floors of the hotel, Yue Jiuli guessed that Tanlang and his group had booked all three floors and were staying on one of them.

"Hmm, why are there about the same number of people on every floor? Which floor is the one with the Greedy Wolf?"

As Yue Jiuli descended from the seventh floor to the fifth, she observed that the number of guards on these three floors was roughly the same, so she couldn't immediately guess where Tanlang was.

Yue Jiuli leaned over the eighth-floor staircase and looked down. She couldn't make out anything, so she muttered helplessly, "That Tanlang is clever. This way, it'll be hard for others to find him, and only our own people can find him. Oh dear, what a pity, I'm not a wolf, otherwise I could try to sneak in."
