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 leaving the bar, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi went to a ghost market, a market frequented by various species such as humans, ghosts, and demons. However, they couldn't find anyone familiar with the demonic aura within the market.
"Hey, it's not here either. That makes sense, the market is too chaotic, it's normal that nobody remembers this taste. Never mind, Young Master Long, let's go."
After Yue Jiuling took Ya Zi for a walk around the market, they found that they hadn't found anything, so they decided to leave. But just after she left the market, a car drove up and unloaded several large wooden crates.
"Hey, Young Master Long, look at the group chat! Dongfeng said they've found the child's soul. Let's hurry back to the hospital."
Not long after leaving the market, Yue Jiuling received a message from Ye Dongfeng. She said happily, "Now that we've found the soul, we don't need to look for the source of the demonic energy for now. Let's go back and ask the child first."
Ya Zi nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then let's go back to the hospital first."
Inside the hospital, Yinni was smoking outside the ward. While scrolling through his phone, he said to Bai Xinyu beside him, "The police haven't found the child's parents yet. I'm planning to put up missing person notices for him. I'll take a picture of him when Dongfeng brings his soul back."
Bai Xinyu was also scrolling through her phone. She nodded and said, "That's good. Hopefully, we can find his parents soon."
Just then, Ye Dongfeng's voice came from outside the ward. He said, "We're back. By the way, Yinni, what about the things I asked you to buy? The kid wants some snacks."
After Ye Dongfeng told Yinni that he had found the child's soul, Yinni immediately returned to the ward from outside and, as Ye Dongfeng had requested, bought the child lollipops and toys.
Hidden, he walked back into the ward and said, "I bought them all. Now you'd better bring your souls back."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi immediately took out the talisman she had used before. She gently patted the talisman onto the child on the sickbed, and a small soul was patted out of the talisman and returned to the child's body.
"Hmm~"
The child slowly opened his eyes in bed, then propped himself up and sat up. He looked around at the strangers with a bewildered and frightened expression, then pouted as if he was about to cry.
Seeing that he was about to cry, Ye Dongfeng quickly stuffed the lollipops and toys on the bedside table into the child's arms and said, "Hey, don't cry, don't cry, brother will give you candy."
The child stopped crying when suddenly given candy, but still looked at the strangers around him with a wary gaze.
Seeing the child like this, Mu Xiaoyi and Bai Xinyu went over to comfort him.
Bai Xinyu said with a smile, "Child, don't be afraid. We're not bad people, we're police officers. Can you tell us your name?"
"Yes, don't worry, are you hungry? Your takeout will be here soon~"
Mu Xiaoyi also sat down on the edge of the bed to coax the child.
The two large men standing nearby realized they didn't seem to need the help, so they exchanged a glance and went out onto the balcony.
He took out a cigarette and lit it, then asked in a calm tone, "Did you find him near Jiu Ling's house?"
"Hmm, Xiaoyi also called Jiuling. Jiuling and the others should be back soon, right?"
Ye Dongfeng replied, "We didn't find anything unusual nearby, but we did see the child's soul."
"Okay, I understand."
Yue Jiuling returned a dozen minutes later. When she came back, she heard the child's laughter coming from the ward. As soon as she entered the ward, she saw the child on the bed eating and watching cartoons, while two of her female colleagues were sitting next to him, and two male colleagues were standing on the balcony.
"Judging from this, is it all better?"
Yue Jiuling walked to the bedside to see the child. The child was no longer so afraid of strangers. When he saw Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, he looked at them curiously for a few moments, and then became engrossed in the cartoon again.
When Mu Xiaoyi saw Yue Jiuling return, she asked her, "By the way, have you noticed anything unusual over where you live lately? The child's soul was found under the stairs of the building opposite yours."
"Something unusual?" Yue Jiuling wanted to shake her head upon hearing this: "It doesn't seem like there is anything unusual, does it?"
