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...
"What? Another case? What's going on?!"
Before the hidden message could even be sent, upon hearing Xiaobaicai's words, he immediately asked, "What's going on, Xiaobaicai? What kind of case is this?"
"It's said there's a missing person case. Lao Wen said the details of the case have already been sent to our group."
Little Cabbage turned on her computer with a worried look and said, "This is such a headache! This case isn't even closed yet, and now another one is popping up!"
When Yinni, Ye Dongfeng, and the others heard Xiaobaicai mention a new case, they immediately looked at their computers. What they saw left them speechless, because there really was a new case, and it was one that only they could handle.
Yue Jiuling rubbed her forehead and said miserably, "Now that's great, the old one hasn't gone and the new one has come. What should we do? Who should go over to this one?"
"What can we do? We have no choice but to separate."
Hiddenly, he opened the case details sent by Lao Wen and said, "It's a missing persons case from the theater. Three people have already gone missing, all of them are workers at the theater. The only thing they have in common is that they all disappeared while working overtime at night."
"Tsk tsk, they all disappeared while working overtime, that's terrifying. They're hiding. How about we stop working overtime from now on? What if we disappear too?"
Ye Dongfeng is asking for trouble again. Yinni heard his words and laughed, saying, "Hmph, if you don't work overtime tonight, I'll make you disappear for a while."
"Waaaaah, this is so scary, I need to call the police..."
Ye Dongfeng was still being cheeky, but Yin Ni didn't have time to play along. He instructed, "Here's what we'll do: Jiu Ling and Xin Yu, you two go check on the missing persons case. Be careful, don't go missing too. Dongfeng and Xiao Yi, go search the area around the alley and see if you find anything else. I'll review the video footage again. Be careful, and call me if anything happens."
"Okay, then we'll head out first."
Yue Jiuling picked up her phone and car keys and left with Bai Xinyu. She said, "Let's drive there. This theater is quite far."
Ye Dongfeng also took the car keys. He said, "We'll drive too. Ugh, it's almost the end of the year, why are there so many cases? It's so annoying."
"You bet! I'm totally overwhelmed."
Little Cabbage also complained from the side.
Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu got in the car and drove directly to the theater. The case at the theater was actually as follows:
Three male employees went missing while working overtime at night. The police sent people to investigate for a while, but couldn't find the cause. They encountered some strange things afterward, so they handed the case over to the management office.
"Old Wen said that after the people who were investigating missing persons cases went to investigate this case, they all had nightmares, but they couldn't remember the nightmares after waking up. Some of them even sleepwalked and almost committed suicide, so they pushed the case onto us."
In the car, Yue Jiuling looked at her phone while telling Bai Xinyu about the group messages. Bai Xinyu, who was driving, said, "Actually, if it were a sleepwalking suicide, it wouldn't be necessary to push the case onto us, but with that photo, we have no choice but to take the case."
"really."
Yue Jiuling remembered the photo they had seen on the computer earlier. It was a picture of the entrance to a theater, and they could only see a faint demonic aura in the sky above the theater entrance. Therefore, they had no choice but to take this case.
"We've arrived, but I'm a little hungry now. Shall we go eat first?"
After arriving at the entrance of the theater, Yue Jiuling looked at a restaurant next to her and said...
“Sure,” Bai Xinyu said, she was also hungry. She parked the car and said, “Since we’re already at the entrance, why don’t we go get something to eat first?”
The theater is located in the city center. It's a large theater where major events in the city are usually performed. There are quite a few places to eat near the theater, but to save time, Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu just bought some scallion pancakes and milk tea as snacks.
"You've finally arrived!"
As soon as Yue Jiuling approached the door, she saw Old Wen with two large dark circles under his eyes.
"Old Wen, what are you doing? Haven't you slept for days?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it, none of us have had a proper night's sleep..."
Old Wen, looking miserable, pointed to the several policemen around him who also had dark circles under their eyes and said, "This case actually started in the middle of the month. The first person went missing in the middle of the month, but at that time we treated it as a regular missing persons case and investigated it for a week. Then the second person went missing, and the last one went missing in the last two days. We started having insomnia and nightmares when the second person went missing. There was also a young man who almost committed suicide while sleepwalking at home."
"No way, the first disappearance started in the middle of the month?"
Upon hearing Lao Wen's words, Bai Xinyu looked up at the sky above them. Above them was the entrance to the theater, which was open to the elements. Sure enough, she saw some faint demonic energy in the sky.
"Tsk tsk, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Bai Xinyu looked at Yue Jiuling beside her.
Yue Jiuling also looked up, and she frowned and said, "It's hard to say. We need to look for it first. After all, being pale doesn't necessarily mean being weak."
Upon hearing Yue Jiuling's words, Bai Xinyu understood what she meant. She meant that the demonic aura was faint, but that didn't mean the demon was weak; it could also be a powerful demon deliberately hiding its strength.
