Chapter 568:

"Oh, right."

Hearing this, Ya Zi withdrew his hand and reached into his bag to look for the talisman. However, he was too hasty in his search and grabbed Yue Jiuling's hand several times.

"Phew, finally found it!"

After searching through their bags for several minutes, the two finally managed to pull out a few talismans that concealed their presence.

"Hey, Jiuling, I'm really impressed by your Treasure Pouch. How come it has all sorts of things inside?"

Ya Zi rummaged through Yue Jiu Ling's bag for so long that he found quite a few things. This Hundred Treasures Spirit Bag was a magic weapon that Yue Jiu Ling had crafted herself, and it could hold a lot of things, so he found quite a few strange things inside.

"It's alright. It's so useful. I used to put all sorts of things in it, including leftovers from meals I had packed up before."

Yue Jiuling stuffed a talisman that concealed her aura into her shoe, then handed another talisman to Ya Zi, saying, "We need to use them sparingly. We only have a few left, and we don't know how long we'll be in the mall."

After seeing Yue Jiuling stuff the talisman into her shoes, Ya Zi followed suit and stuffed the talisman into his shoes as well. He said, "Okay, we don't need to worry about not having enough talismans. If we don't have enough, I can stay in the mall and you can go out and ask Xiao Yi for a few more talismans."

"That would be possible, but I still want to catch that witch as soon as possible."

Whenever Yue Jiuling thought of that witch, she felt a strange sense of familiarity with her, which puzzled her greatly.

"Let's go, the talisman is hidden well, we should go find her now."

Ya Zi stomped his feet to make the talisman under his feet more firmly planted, and then took Yue Jiuling to the shopping mall.

...

At the reservoir, Lao Cai finally saw the forensic doctor arrive. He then took the dismembered body back to the morgue and issued a notice asking people to come and identify the body.

By the fishpond, Yinni and Ye Dongfeng were playing games again. They were so bored and had nothing else to do, so they simply started playing. Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi, even more bored, were secretly fishing in the pond.

...

"This is it. She really knows how to pick a spot. This place is bustling with people. If we weren't looking carefully, we probably wouldn't have found her. She's right here."

Upon arriving at the mall entrance, Yue Jiuling looked up at the mall's floors and exclaimed, "Wow, that's really tall! There must be at least twenty or thirty floors!"

"I didn't count, but it should be around twenty-five to thirty floors, right?"

Ya Zi looked up at the building and said, "If someone jumps off the building again like before, there will be many more people who can be infected and become low-level demons."

"Yes, there are just too many people here."

Looking at the bustling streets and the people strolling around the mall, Yue Jiuling frowned and said, "I'm really worried something might happen here. If something does happen, it won't just be a dozen or twenty people dying."

"Let's go, let's go find her first."

Relying on the fact that he had already used a talisman to conceal his aura, Ya Zi swaggered in. As long as they didn't see the witch face to face, she definitely wouldn't recognize them and would only think they were two ordinary humans.

"Tsk, we sensed it was on the third floor before, but now we have no idea where it is. We'll probably have to search floor by floor."

As soon as Yue Jiuling entered the mall, she frowned and looked at the huge mall with worry, because they could no longer use their divine sense in the mall, otherwise they would be easily discovered.

Without the help of divine sense, they could no longer sense the witch's location, so they had to search for her slowly, floor by floor.

"Young Master Long, how about we split up and search? This place is just too big."

Yue Jiuling pointed to the two passages on the left and right inside the mall and said, "It will be faster to search separately. If you find it, contact me by phone."

"Okay, then be careful."

Ya Zi originally didn't want to search separately from Yue Jiu Ling, but after seeing how big the shopping mall was, she had no choice but to agree.

"Tsk, there are so many people in this mall! It's only afternoon, and it's still a long time before it closes. If we can't find her soon, it'll be troublesome."

While pondering her own thoughts, Yue Jiuling searched for the witch in shop after shop, not even missing the toilets or staircases, looking very carefully.

After failing to find her on the first floor, she continued searching on the second floor via elevator. Just as she was about to reach the third floor, she suddenly spotted a familiar face – a celebrity she had met in the neighboring city, Feng Meng.

Feng Meng was probably shopping at the time. He was trying on clothes in a men's clothing store when Yue Jiuling came in. He recognized her as soon as he saw her and greeted her immediately, saying, "Hey, Sister Jiuling, it really is you! It's been so long, I almost didn't recognize you."

"Oh, it's you! What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Feng Meng, Yue Jiuling temporarily stopped her search. Looking at Feng Meng's new clothes, she smiled and said, "Buying clothes? How have you been lately?"

"It's pretty good, just a bit busy filming. Hey sis, it's been so long since we've seen each other, wanna grab a bite together?"
