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 Eighty-Eight Hot Pot

Inside the management office, a masked and gloved man approached the mummified corpse he had brought back that day. He pinched the corpse's chin, opened her mouth, and said to Bai Xinyu beside him, "Xinyu, break the seal on the corpse. Let me sense what kind of evil spirit this is."

Bai Xinyu and Mu Xiaoyi were each drinking a cup of milk tea when, after hearing the request for concealment, she gestured to the mummified corpse and said, "Alright, be careful yourself."

The moment the seal was broken, Yinni immediately sensed a surge of evil energy emanating from the corpse's body. Although this evil energy was fierce, Yinni was not harmed at all because he had already protected himself with his spiritual power the moment it appeared.

"Tsk~ This aura... it feels a bit like the underworld."

After sensing the evil energy, he used his magic to seal the corpse again. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "This person died from having his life essence drained. There is also an aura of the underworld in the evil energy. Do you think it's possible that something from below has escaped?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Dongfeng immediately said, "No way. If it's just ordinary demons and monsters, that's fine, but if it's from the underworld, then that's a bit troublesome."

Among the six realms, there is the Ghost Realm, which is divided into two places: the Underworld, which is controlled by Yama, and the Netherworld.

Although both places belong to the ghost realm, they are different, with the biggest difference being the classification and dwelling places of the ghosts within them.

The underworld is actually just a place where ordinary ghosts are imprisoned. These ghosts can be reincarnated. Of course, some who have committed serious sins will be imprisoned in the eighteen levels of hell to be punished, but these are all considered normal ghosts.

However, the underworld isn't just inhabited by ghosts; it also contains many native evil species, such as Asuras and other strange and monstrous beings. They are imprisoned in the underworld and cannot leave, because if they were to venture into other realms, they would surely cause great disaster.

There are many powerful gods guarding the underworld, so normally nothing should escape. However, there are always exceptions. For example, some minor evil spirits are more likely to come out because they are not very powerful and are not closely monitored.

Hearing their worries, Mu Xiaoyi took out a talisman and slapped it onto the corpse. After watching the evil aura disappear with the talisman, she said, "Oh, what are you worried about? There aren't that many things coming out from down there. There are plenty of powerful gods down there. Aren't they able to keep them away? I think it's just an ordinary evil spirit with some cultivation, and its evil aura is just a bit strong."

After being told off by Mu Xiaoyi, Yinni could only say, "Alright, I hope I'm just overthinking it. By the way, hasn't Jiuling returned your call yet? When is she coming back?"

"No, they don't answer the phone or reply to text messages. I don't know what's going on with them now."

Upon hearing that Yue Jiuling had not yet returned, Yinni said, "Well, I guess she hasn't been able to find the King yet."

Bai Xinyu ate a small cookie and said, "Oh dear, it's already afternoon without me even realizing it. I'm so hungry. Shall we order something?"

Ye Dongfeng also said, "Order, I want to eat shredded chicken. Anyway, I have to work overtime tonight, so I want to eat my fill."

Because a case has occurred, and it happened at night, the management office staff will definitely have to work overtime tonight. Mu Xiaoyi also said, "Go ahead, and order me a plate of salted duck too."

Bai Xinyu wrote down the menu and went out to call and order food, while they were preparing to eat, and Yue Jiuling was also getting ready to go back.

Because the two-headed water dragon had escaped and Tanlang had not been captured, Qiyou ordered his other subordinates to chase after the two-headed water dragon, while he himself went to continue capturing Tanlang.

Qi You looked at Qingcheng and Hongyan Shenjun in front of her and said, "Shenjun, my king's spiritual power is currently sealed, so I'll have to trouble you to take good care of him. I have to go capture the traitor now, so I'll have to leave first."

After seeing that Lord Hongyan had beaten away all the snake demons who had bullied him, Qingcheng originally planned to return to the demon realm with Qiyou to undo the spiritual power. However, Qiyou did not want to go with him at all, but instead wanted to leave him with this 'fiancé'!

"Um, Qiyou, are you just going to abandon me like this?"

Qingcheng watched as Qiyou darted away, then looked at Yue Jiuling and the others, but before he could speak, Yue Jiuling spoke first.

Yue Jiuling had already figured out that the Hongyan Divine Lord only wanted to be alone with Qingcheng and didn't want to see them, these third wheels, at all. So Yue Jiuling said to Qingcheng and the Hongyan Divine Lord, "Now that the Demon King has been found, this little demon will take her leave."

Yue Jiu Nian also teased with a smile, "Oh, Qingcheng, we're old friends now. Remember to let us know when you get married so we can come and ask for a drink at your wedding."

The two goofballs, Yue Jiuxing and Yue Jiuyue, excitedly cheered from the sidelines: "Yay! Qingcheng is getting married! Soon we'll have a wedding feast! Let's drink to the wedding feast! Let's drink to the wedding feast!"

Qingcheng was completely exasperated by his friends. He put his hands on his hips and said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I might not even get married to the God. Alright, you're not allowed to talk nonsense anymore."

As he was saying this, the God Lord was staring at him the whole time. The God Lord seemed a little unhappy. Yue Jiuling felt that the God Lord probably wanted to say something to Qingcheng, so she quickly led the divided souls away, not wanting to disturb the two of them.
