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 361 Insect Memories

In the management office's laboratory, a group of people were gathered around a glass bottle, all staring intently at the small insects inside.

Mu Xiaoyi and Ye Dongfeng each took a talisman, and then stuck one on the glass bottle and the other on the wall opposite the glass bottle.

"Ahem~ Everyone, pay close attention, the moment of truth is about to arrive~"

Mu Xiaoyi stood next to the glass bottle, holding it in a strange pose, and then said with a serious face, "Let's watch a unique movie!"

Ye Dongfeng chuckled and said, "Hehe, come on, our director bugs, get ready to show the movie~"

"Hey, hurry up, you guys! You've been raising them for so long, can't we start now?"

Bai Xinyu interrupted their game, pointing directly at the glass bottle and saying, "You two, stop playing around and hurry up!"

"Yeah, after working on this for so long, I just want to go home and leave work."

Hidden, he watched Mu Xiaoyi and Ye Dongfeng speechlessly.

Ya Zi stood with his arms crossed, watching the show with Yue Jiuling. Yue Jiuling laughed and said, "Stop playing around. You've raised the insects for so long, it's time to start casting spells. If you keep playing, it'll get dark soon."

Little Cabbage, holding a camera, nodded to indicate that it was almost time to stop playing.

"Alright, alright, let's get started now."

Ye Dongfeng, holding the talisman, said with a grin, "We just wanted to liven things up a bit, didn't we?"

Mu Xiaoyi also said, "Yeah, we've waited so long, there's no rush."

The two began chanting incantations softly over the glass bottle, while the little insects inside were circling around.

In fact, their purpose this time was to extract some useful memories from the insects' memories. Those insects used to live in the toilet of Zhu Botuan's house, so they might have witnessed the process of Zhu Botuan being murdered. Therefore, they wanted to read their memories.

It's just that the little insects are too fragile, so they need to be well-rested before reading them. Moreover, the reading process is done in a way that resembles watching a movie, which Xiaobaicai records with a camera. This method is much better than Mu Xiaoyi's previous method of entering dreams with souls.

After Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi started chanting the incantation, the insects began to spin in circles, and various images began to appear on the wall opposite the glass bottle, as if a movie was being projected.

It's just that the insects might have different perspectives, so they see things from different angles. The scenes look chaotic, but you can still tell that those places all belong to Zhu Botuan's home.

"Hey, there are way too many shots! Little Cabbage, did you adjust the camera angle? Can you include everyone in the frame?"

Upon seeing those strange scenes, Yin Ni quickly asked Xiao Baicai, who was holding the camera.

Xiao Baicai had already placed the camera on a stand. Looking at the camera, he said, "Don't worry, everything's in the frame. I'll record it all."

"Okay, that's good."

Hidden felt relieved for a moment, then turned back to look seriously at the image on the wall.

The images on the wall were chaotic, and the insects were flying around without any fixed positions, so what you could see wasn't very clear.

Yue Jiuling squinted and looked at the image on the wall very seriously, saying, "Tsk tsk, this is really messy. There are so many bugs and the camera is moving so fast. You can't see anything like this at all. I'll wait until it's finished recording before I watch it."

Ya Zi also said, "That's right, I'll wait until it's finished recording before slowing it down to watch."

Bai Xinyu had already locked onto a screen showing an insect. Pointing at it, she said, "Look at this, look at this. This spot looks like the bathroom. I just saw the toilet. Oh dear, what if the insect bites someone? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone went to the toilet and the insect bit them?"

"Wow, this can't be true, right?"

Ye Dongfeng had just finished chanting the incantation and turned to look at the images. He said, "Actually, I think the world seems a bit too big from the perspective of insects. Look at that box of tissues, it's huge!"

"Nonsense, how big can an insect be?"

Mu Xiaoyi had some free time, so she walked over to Xiaobaicai's camera and said, "Insects have short lifespans and their memories aren't very good. I specifically stimulated their brains to make them only recall images of humans, which makes things much easier."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobaicai exclaimed in admiration, "Wow, Sister Xiaoyi, you guys are amazing! You can even control this!"

"Hehe, it's actually not that difficult. You just need to know how to control them~"

Mu Xiaoyi was very pleased with herself.

Upon hearing her words, Bai Xinyu, not to be outdone, walked over and said, "Tch, it's not just your magic that can do it. Our demonic arts can too. It's just that our demonic arts might be too domineering, and they're too weak to withstand it and die."

"Hehe, it's just a pity, this time only we can perform this spell~"

Ye Dongfeng chimed in, "Your magic isn't very good!"

"Tch, you guys can do it this time, but that doesn't mean we can't next time!"

Bai Xinyu playfully stuck her tongue out at Ye Dongfeng: "Hehehe~"

Little Cabbage, who was watching the camera recording nearby, noticed them all crowding around and quickly shooed them away, saying, "Hey, what are you all doing here? Don't block my view!"
