"Okay, boss, we'll have the 15-yuan squid skewers too! Oh, and this cumin smells so good, could you please add a little extra spice?"

"Alright, you guys are together, right? How about I roast all of yours together?"

The owner brought out a huge pile of squid skewers and started grilling them.

...

It was almost 5 p.m., nearly time to leave work. Yue Jiuling was tidying up her desk, thinking that it was about time, and after watching the last episode of her TV series, she could probably go home.

Unexpectedly, before their class even ended, they received another case.

Actually, the police came to us for help with this case, and they had been involved in it before, which was about the children who were imprisoned by the chameleon.

"What? Something's wrong with the child?"

When Mu Xiaoyi received the call, she was still confused. After listening to the person on the other end of the phone finish speaking, she agreed to go and help. She said, "Oh, is that so? Sure, we'll be there in a bit. It's no trouble at all. We're all helping each other out."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyi said to Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, "The police just said that the child you rescued last time is acting strangely, like he has some kind of mental problem. They want us to come and take a look. By the way, didn't you notice anything wrong when you rescued the child before?"

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Yue Jiuling remembered something. She frowned and said, "The children's mental state is not right. When I brought them out, I did feel that they were showing signs of being scattered, but at the time I just thought they were frightened, so I didn't pay much attention. Well, why don't we go and take a look?"

"Yes, let's go and see what's going on first. Speculating now is useless."

Ya Zi also said, "At that time, I just felt that they were all drugged and turned into mute and deaf people, and I didn't notice whether there was a problem with their souls."

"Okay, let's go take a look first. By the way, they're at the Third Hospital. Let's drive there."

Mu Xiaoyi packed her things, then slung her small bag over her shoulder and said, "I'll try to come back after get off work, otherwise I'll have to work overtime again. I've been working too much overtime lately, and my boyfriend has been nagging me about it."

"Haha, I know, you just want to go back and be all lovey-dovey with your boyfriend, right? Why are you being so sarcastic towards us?"

Yue Jiuling slapped Mu Xiaoyi on the back to indicate that she was being tortured.

The group quickly set off for the Third Hospital. Before leaving, they told Ahui that he could leave work on time and not to wait for them.

"This is 801, this must be it."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Mu Xiaoyi entered the ward according to the ward number provided by the police.

There were five children in the ward, and these were the children the police said were mentally unstable.

"Miss Mu, you've arrived."

A policeman who knew them well saw them arrive and came up to them. He said, "These kids are acting strangely. They've been in the hospital for two days. They're always acting silly during the day, but at night they stay awake with their eyes open, muttering things that are hard to understand, like they're possessed."

At first, we thought we'd been drugged, but even after taking the medication prescribed by the doctor, we were still experiencing the same symptoms.

This policeman was a veteran with many years of experience in handling cases. Everyone called him Lao Wen. After Lao Wen told Mu Xiaoyi and the others about the children's symptoms, he told them to go see the children themselves.

Yue Jiuling approached one of the children who looked simple-minded and asked, "Has he always been like this?"

The child in front of Yue Jiuling was a boy. He was sitting on the hospital bed with a vacant look in his eyes, staring blankly at the wall, not saying a word, as if he was in a daze.

Moreover, this is not the only child with this symptom, but all the children are like this.

"Yes, that's always been the case. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to you. Everyone says they're possessed, which is why I contacted you."

Old Wen looked unwell. He said anxiously, "These children have turned out like this, and we haven't even found their families yet. How heartbroken they would be if their families saw them like this!"
