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...
"Sure, I'd like to go take a look."
As Mu Xiaoyi spoke, she turned around and started looking for that alley. She said, "This murderer is so strange, and she's so good at hiding. I don't know when we'll be able to find her."
Hearing Mu Xiaoyi's words, Ye Dongfeng nodded in agreement and said, "I'm actually still worried about whether we can have a proper New Year. If the case isn't resolved, we won't be able to take a holiday for the New Year."
"really."
As they approached the alley, Mu Xiaoyi took out the scent-tracking device again and said, "Hey you, hurry up and come out so we can have our New Year's holiday soon!"
"Beep beep beep~"
As they were talking, the device that was tracking the presence suddenly rang, and it was pointing directly into the alley!
"There's movement!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Dongfeng immediately looked warily into the alley. However, at this moment, the tracking device in Mu Xiaoyi's hand stopped ringing.
"Huh? What's going on? It's not ringing again?"
Mu Xiaoyi glanced into the alley and found it empty. She then patted the tracker and said, "Is it broken? That shouldn't be the case."
"Is it broken?"
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyi say that the machine was broken, Ye Dongfeng looked at the empty alley with a puzzled expression and said, "There's no sign of anything here, but the machine made a sound just now. Is it broken, or is there something here?"
“I don’t know either,” Mu Xiaoyi put away the tools that were no longer making noise, then pushed Ye Dongfeng into the alley and said, “Let’s go in and take a look first.”
"No, would you like to try the machine again?"
"It's no use, I've been using it the whole time."
Ye Dongfeng walked in front of Mu Xiaoyi. He carefully pulled up the outer cordon and slowly entered the alley. The alley was still cordoned off, but anyone who wanted to go in could.
There's nothing here!
Walking through the alley, I found nothing but some uncleaned trash.
Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi walked from one end to the other, and found nothing unusual until they left the alley. Even the tracking machine remained silent.
"Um, so was there really a problem with the machine just now?"
After walking out of the alley, Ye Dongfeng looked at the machine in Mu Xiaoyi's hand and said, "Let's go. There's nothing here. We might as well go back and fix the machine."
"Alright, it's already afternoon, let's go back."
Mu Xiaoyi was also studying her machine with her head down. They did not return the way they came, but took a detour to go back to find the car.
Just as Ye Dongfeng was about to open the car door after getting back into the car, the machine in Mu Xiaoyi's hand suddenly rang again!
"Beep beep beep~"
"Oh no, it's broken again?"
Mu Xiaoyi looked at the machine in her hand, which was still beeping incessantly, and thought to herself that this broken thing must be really broken, otherwise why would it be beeping here?
But just as she was about to get in the car and go back, she suddenly heard Ye Dongfeng shout, "Wait, isn't that the murderer?"
Mu Xiaoyi turned her head and saw a girl standing in front of a small shop less than 100 meters away from them. The girl was wearing a school uniform and looked like she was buying something, but in her eyes, the girl was emitting black smoke.
"That's her! What are you waiting for? Arrest her!"
Mu Xiaoyi opened her eyes wide, shouted, and then pushed Ye Dongfeng to run towards the girl. However, perhaps because their voices were a bit loud, they had already startled the girl. They only saw the girl turn around and glance at them before turning away.
"Quickly, go after them!"
Since they were on the street, Ye Dongfeng and his companions didn't dare use magic recklessly, so they could only chase after the girl. He even called out to her, "Hey, beautiful, wait, don't go!"
Upon hearing Ye Dongfeng's shout, the girl not only didn't stop but ran even faster. Mu Xiaoyi, seeing her running directly into the alley, quickened her pace and said, "She went into the alley; there must be a secret inside."
"Yes, I knew there must be something inside."
Ye Dongfeng also said.
But when they ran into the alley, they found it empty and bare.
Mu Xiaoyi went inside and found that there was still some evil energy left. She quickly cast a spell to create a barrier and said, "Now we can take our time searching."
