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 333 Ancient Well

The bottom of the well was dark, but the space was quite large, like a basement. After Yue Jiuzhai went down, he found that his phone was out of power, so he took out the spare flashlight. However, the light from the flashlight was a bit weak and the illumination was not very clear.

After briefly observing the 'basement', Yue Jiuzai discovered several skulls hanging on the wall next to him, which looked somewhat like human skulls.

Perhaps due to the dampness, some moss had grown on the walls, but the strange tentacles were gone. It seemed that they only grew on the well wall, and were no longer on the wall below.

Yue Jiuzai observed that there was indeed demonic energy in the basement, but other energy was also present. However, in order to find out who this demonic energy belonged to, Yue Jiuzai began to search along the energy trail.

The bottom of the ancient well was empty, except for some scattered rocks and moss. Yue Jiuzai searched for a while before encountering his first problem: a stone gate blocking his way.

This stone door is different from ordinary stone doors. Its door handle is made of two skulls, and there are two stone statues with human bodies and animal heads on the side of the door. There are also some strange black threads in the crack of the door.

Those black strands are like hair, and they even seem to be alive, moving on their own!

Upon seeing this situation, Yue Jiuzai roughly guessed that there might be a big shot behind this door, otherwise why would he use these things to guard the door?

Putting aside those strange black silks, let's talk about those two stone statues. They're obviously not ordinary goalkeepers. Yue Jiuzai dares to say that as soon as she gets close to the stone gate, those two stone statues will definitely be able to 'come back to life' immediately, because she has already sensed some strange auras on the stone statues.

However, if he wanted to get through this stone gate, he would have to get close to the goalkeepers. So, Yue Jiuzai would eventually have to fight those two goalkeepers.

The goalkeepers are two stone statues with human bodies and animal heads. Their heads are also very strange, with human faces but horns on their heads and fangs in their mouths. It is impossible to tell what kind of strange creatures they are.

With a flick of her hand, Yue Jiuzai conjured a short sword. She then cautiously approached the stone gate with the sword. Sure enough, when she was about half a meter away from the stone gate, the stone statues guarding the gate on both sides instantly 'came back to life'!

"Click~ Click~"

With a strange sound, the two stone statues seemed to come alive. Their eyes widened, and the spears they had been holding high suddenly turned towards Yue Jiuzai, simultaneously thrusting at the newcomer!

"Clang!"

Fortunately, Yue Jiuzai was prepared. When the stone statues made a move, she quickly raised her sword to block the attack, and then hid behind one of the stone statues, letting the two of them fight each other.

However, unlike what Yue Jiuzai had expected, the two stone statues did not 'kill each other'. Instead, they reacted quickly and then cooperated to attack Yue Jiuzai at the same time.

When Yue Jiuzai saw that they were about to attack her, she did not panic. She nimbly dodged the stone spears and jumped to the front of the stone gate. Just as the black threads were about to attack her, she quickly summoned Hellfire and threw it at the living black threads!

'Sizzle~'

Just as the hellfire reached Black Silk's body, Black Silk was clearly frightened and desperately shrank back into the stone door, while also emitting a strange smell of burning.

When the two stone statues saw that Yue Jiuzai had bypassed them to attack Hei Si, they seemed to be enraged. They raised their stone spears and thrust them at Yue Jiuzai, but Yue Jiuzai blocked them with his short sword!

"Hey~ Can we talk this over? It's just a stone gate, what's wrong with letting me in?"

Yue Jiuzai has now discovered what's going on with these two stone statues. It turns out that there are souls inside controlling the statues, so he tried to negotiate with them to let him go behind the stone door.

Unfortunately, although the two stone statues were controlled by souls, they were like loyal guards, completely ignoring Yue Jiuzai's commands and only knowing how to attack the intruder with all their might.
