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 441 Being a Salted Fish

A voice came from the bedroom. Yue Jiuli opened the door and said, "You're back. Oh, what delicious food did you bring?"

Upon seeing Yue Jiuling holding a takeout box, Yue Jiuli immediately stepped forward and asked, "Is it barbecue? I smell grilled fish!"

"Yes, that's right. Where are the others?"

After the bedroom door opened, Yue Jiuling didn't see any of the other divided souls besides Yue Jiuli coming out.

Yue Jiuling asked, "Why are you the only one here? Where are the others?"

Yue Jiuli had already stepped forward to take the takeout box and opened the packaging, ready to enjoy the food inside. When she heard Yue Jiuling's question, she said, "Oh, they've all gone out. Jiuxing and Jiuyue have been playing around all day. After dinner, they went out to play. Jiujie and Jiunian went to see people. Jiuzai also went out, saying he wanted to buy some daily necessities."

After Yue Jiuli finished speaking, she picked up her chopsticks and was about to eat the grilled fish. She bit the fish tail and said, "Tsk, this tastes good. I'll take this fish."

"Eat up, I bought five of these fish, you can share them."

Yue Jiuling sat down on the sofa, then turned on the TV and said, "How long have they been gone? If it's been too long, we should call them back."

"It should only take about an hour. We'll have dinner early tonight."

Yue Jiuli said while biting into a grilled fish, "But they probably won't come back so early. After all, they've been making a ruckus all day, and they need to go out and explore to their heart's content."

Both Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing are like mentally challenged children, causing headaches for the other divided souls every day. So sometimes everyone is quite annoyed by them. When they encounter something that can make them less annoying, they usually let them play for a while.

Yue Jiuling understood the mindset of the divided souls, so she nodded and said, "Alright, with Jiu Nian and the others watching over things, nothing should happen."

After resting at home for half an hour, Yue Jiuling went to take a shower. Before entering the bathroom, she told Yue Jiuli, "Keep an eye on the time. It's already past nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock. If they're not back by ten, you should call them. It's so late, we can't let them play outside."

"OK, I understand."

While watching a horror movie, Yue Jiuli gave Yue Jiuling an 'OK' sign, then took out her phone and sent a message in their chat group: Why are you coming back? It's almost ten o'clock.

The message had just been sent when a reply was received within a minute; it was from Yue Jiu Jie.

Yue Jiu Jie: Wait a minute, we might not be back so soon.

Yue Jiuzai: Maybe I should go back first. I bought a lot of things today, so I'll take them back with me.

Yue Jiu Nian: Okay, Jiu Zai, go back first. I'll keep an eye on things here. Is Jiu Ling back yet?

Yue Jiuli: @Jiunian, yes, Jiuling is back, please come back soon.

Yue Jiuzai: Something happened here. I'll tell you when I get back, sigh~

Yue Jiuli: ?! What's wrong? Did you guys cause trouble?

Yue Jiujie: Hmm, not really. Well, it seems like Jiuxing and the others have some business dealings again, but things aren't confirmed yet, so we'll have to stay here and watch.

Yue Jiuli: Uh, okay, you guys come back soon.

In the chat group, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue hadn't spoken up, which made Yue Jiuli a little worried. However, she felt a little relieved when she remembered that Yue Jiunian and the others were also there.

Currently, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue are talking to a woman:

Yue Jiuxing pointed to a child behind the woman and said, "You really have to believe me, I'm not lying to you. There really is a child behind you. He's not human, he's a ghost!"

Yue Jiuyue added, "Yeah, yeah, we wouldn't lie to you, there really is a ghost following you!"

The woman clearly didn't believe what they said. She rolled her eyes, then shoved the two people blocking her way and said, "Ghosts what? You're the ones playing tricks, aren't you? I don't believe in these things. Get out of my way, you lunatics!"

With that, the woman pushed aside the two split souls and left.

Actually, there was a reason why the woman was angry with the two split souls. She was walking normally when two people came up to her and said that there was a ghost following her. Who would believe that? So she thought Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were crazy.

After being pushed aside, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue stepped aside and watched the woman leave. Feeling a little wronged and heartbroken, they returned to Yue Jiunian's side.
