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 436:
In F City, at two o'clock in the morning, Yin Ni, Ye Dongfeng, and Bai Xinyu finally followed the chameleon's demonic aura and arrived at a luxury residential area.
But when they finally found their destination, they discovered that the chameleon was on its last legs.
"Oh my god, are you alright? Are you even alive?"
In the basement of a mansion, a chameleon over a meter long was pinned to the wall with a knife to its chest. Blood was flowing from its body and the floor was covered in blood.
Upon seeing Chameleon's injuries, Bai Xinyu rushed over to try and heal him. Unfortunately, because the wound was near his heart and he had lost too much blood, Chameleon couldn't hold on and died at the hands of his own people.
Hidden frowned as he looked at the chameleon's corpse, then calmly made a phone call and returned saying, "They must have already guessed that we would use the chameleon's demonic energy to track them, but I didn't expect that they would actually attack the chameleon to get rid of the tracking. They're really ruthless."
"Tsk tsk, they've already targeted the children, so it's normal for them to be ruthless to their own people as well."
Ye Dongfeng chuckled and said, "Since this chameleon is dead, we can't continue investigating them."
Hidden said with a slight headache, "I just contacted the relevant department here, hoping they can provide some assistance, otherwise this case will probably be left unsolved."
Bai Xinyu also said, "Indeed, we don't have many clues, and the only chameleon we could control is dead. This is going to be a bit difficult."
...
In J City, the next morning, Yue Jiuling woke up on the floor of her bedroom and angrily kicked Yue Jiuli, because she remembered that Yue Jiuli had pushed her out of bed the night before.
"Ugh, can't you guys sleep in a normal way? Even a pig would find your sleeping position disgusting, believe it or not?"
After kicking away her split soul, Yue Jiuling got up, washed up, changed her clothes, and prepared to go to work.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the management office and took out her phone, she saw a message from the group that they were trying to return. The message said that Chameleon was dead, probably killed by his companions. The cause of death was likely that they discovered someone was following them, so in order to escape, the gang killed Chameleon.
However, since the chameleon died, they had no other leads to follow up on the case, so they had to hand it over to their colleagues in F City.
"Tsk, speechless. They just set off and came back in less than two days. Wasn't that a wasted trip?"
Yue Jiuling said to Mu Xiaoyi, who had already arrived at work, "It's hard for them to hide. They rush over and come back empty-handed."
"That's right, but this gang is not simple. I'm afraid they'll come back to kidnap children and raise their souls again."
Mu Xiaoyi turned on her computer and said, "I'll post something on the official website of Human Metaphysics to draw everyone's attention to this case."
"Okay, this will raise the level of vigilance on the human side."
The two were chatting when Ya Zi walked in right on time, "Hey, I almost missed it!"
After Ya Zi finished swiping his card, he asked, "Are you guys checking the messages? Hidden Ones are coming back."
"Yes, I checked. They should arrive around this afternoon. They're driving themselves, so it might take a little longer."
Yue Jiuling pulled out a steamed bun she had just bought that day and handed it to Ya Zi, saying, "By the way, there are a few holidays this month. Do you think we should celebrate them together?"
"Oh right, today is the winter solstice, and Christmas Eve and Christmas are just around the corner!"
Upon hearing that there was a holiday, Mu Xiaoyi immediately said, "But it's a pity I can't celebrate with you because I have to be with my dear."
"Tsk tsk, you can get lost now. Never mind, I'll wait until Xinyu and the others come back before asking them."
Yue Jiuling rolled her eyes at Mu Xiaoyi and said, "Hey, you who has a boyfriend, don't be so smug all the time. Let us see what gifts your boyfriend will give you during the holidays."
"Hmph, my boyfriend will definitely give me a really nice gift, just you wait and see~"
When the topic of Mu Xiaoyi's boyfriend comes up, Mu Xiaoyi becomes quite smug, because she does indeed have a very good boyfriend, that's a fact.
A few people were chatting when Ahui arrived at work. However, he seemed to be late today. When he clocked in, he found that he was five minutes late.
"Huh? Ah Hui, you're late today! You usually arrive very early, why are you late today?"
When Mu Xiaoyi saw Ahui who was late, she asked him a question out of curiosity.
Ahui didn't seem to be in good spirits today. He said listlessly, "Oh, I don't know what happened to our house last night, but several stray cats came and howled all night. My whole family was too scared to sleep. Sigh..."
"Seriously? Can't you turn into a human? Why don't you just go out and chase them away?"
Hearing Ahui's words, Yue Jiuling was speechless. She said, both amused and exasperated, "You're practically a spirit now, what are you afraid of, stray cats?"
"Exactly, exactly! You're practically a spirit now, why are you still afraid of them?"
Mu Xiaoyi also found it funny.
"Sigh, I didn't want to, but I'm still a little scared when I hear the cat meowing. Oh well, I'll just move when I get back tonight. That place isn't very nice anyway."
Ah Hui said, looking very tired, "I'm going to clean up now, you guys keep going."
