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 574 Body Rotting

Chapter 574:

"You're from the management office? What kind of accomplices are you? I don't know what you're talking about. What right do you have to arrest me? I'm just an ordinary stray cat. Does your management office like to arrest monsters indiscriminately like this?"

The gray cat on the ground looked up at the people interrogating it. It still looked like its original form, but when it saw the people hiding behind it, it looked completely innocent.

Upon hearing the gray cat's words, Ye Dongfeng sneered. He threw the photos he had taken inside the cabin in front of it and said, "You still want to play dumb? These people were all found in that cabin by the fishpond. You brought them food at night and fed them. You still dare to say you don't know anything? Tell me, was it you who caused their soul loss?!"

"Hehe~ So you're talking about them. I don't actually know them. I'm just an ordinary stray cat. I met them by the fishpond and took pity on them, so I secretly took them in that little wooden house. As for their souls and stuff, that has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything. I was just doing a good deed and bringing them some food."

The gray cat still looked completely innocent.

"Hmph! If it really has nothing to do with you, why don't you take them to the police station? There's definitely something wrong with secretly keeping them as pets. When did you, an ordinary stray cat, become so close to humans?"

Ye Dongfeng sat down in the chair and said coldly, "So, you must be the one who hurt them and turned them into idiots!"

"Yes, it must be you! Tell me! Why did you do this!"

Mu Xiaoyi also arrived, holding a wooden stick in her hand. She sat down in front of the gray cat with a stern expression and said, "If you don't confess honestly, then don't worry about us using torture!"

"Is this how your management office acts—unreasonably and resorting to vigilante justice at will?"

Upon hearing this, the wildcat's eyes showed a hint of fear. It said, "You can't force a confession like this! I'm going to report you!"

"Alright, go ahead and sue us. But before you do, let's see if you can survive."

Hidden in his hand, he pointed the phone screen at the gray cat and said, "These corpses all have your demonic aura on them. I think you are not only the murderer who turned those humans into idiots, but also the murderer who killed these demons!"

"No! That's impossible!"

The gray cat saw the photo in the hidden hand and immediately bristled. It bared its sharp teeth and hissed hoarsely, "I clearly didn't kill them, so how could they have demonic energy on them?! You're lying to me!"

"How would I know? Anyway, I can sense your demonic aura."

Bai Xinyu looked at the gray cat and said, "Tell me about your accomplices and I might spare your life. Otherwise, you're dead!"

...

The Demon Realm.

Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi, still trapped inside the barrier, were unable to escape. Yue Jiuling wandered around inside the barrier, trying many methods, but still couldn't find a way to break it. In the end, she could only lie helplessly on the ground, like a corpse.

"Young Master Long, it's my fault for dragging you into this."

Yue Jiuling looked at Ya Zi beside her with great guilt and said, "I shouldn't have let you come to the Demon Realm with me in the first place. Now look what's happened, we're trapped here together."

“Nine Spirits, this can’t be your fault either. It’s just that this inner demon is too cunning.”

Hearing Yue Jiuling's regret, Ya Zi shook his head and said, "Don't worry, we'll find a way. We can't be trapped like this."

"But after searching for so long, we still can't break this barrier; it's too powerful."

Yue Jiuling was very frustrated. The energy of this barrier came from the native energy of the Demon Realm. With her and Ya Zi's current abilities, they simply couldn't break it. Unless the inner demon was willing to open it on its own, they simply couldn't break it.

Ya Zi was also very troubled. He sat down next to Yue Jiuling, looked around, and said in a deep voice, "A towering tree must have its roots, and the water of Huai Mountain must have its source. Jiuling, we can definitely find the flaw in the formation and open the barrier."

"Sigh, I hope I can find it."

Yue Jiuling was actually quite tired. She continued lying on the ground and said, "Ugh, this inner demon is such a madman. I don't know what he's thinking. He just has to cause trouble and is looking for some ghostly remnant soul. It's giving me a headache!"

As she was talking, she suddenly felt a tickle on her face, so she reached out and scratched it. But to her surprise, she tore off a bloody chunk of flesh from her face!

"ah!"

When Yue Jiuling saw the piece of flesh in her hand, she was immediately startled. She frantically touched her face and said, "Holy crap! What happened? How did my face get so mushy?!"

"What? Jiuling, what happened to your face?"

Ya Zi heard Yue Jiuling's voice and turned around to see her current state. Yue Jiuling's once-perfect face was now cracked and peeling away, like pieces of rotting flesh about to fall off.

"Jiuling! Your face, how did it get so rotten?"

Ya Zi stared wide-eyed at Yue Jiu Ling's face, and said in a panic, "Quick! Didn't you just find this body randomly? It might be unusable now, you'd better come out quickly."

"Holy crap! How could this happen?!"
