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 Twenty-Six: Fish You Can't Eat

"What?! You want to eat me?" The girl was terrified by Yue Jiuling's words. She opened her eyes wide in horror and said, "You can't eat me! I can't eat you! I... I'm a poisonous fish! You'll get poisoned if you eat me!"

After the girl finished speaking, the boy nodded and said, "That's right, you can't eat my sister, you'll get poisoned."

"Poisoning? What kind of fish are you? How can they be poisonous?"

Yue Jiuling was extremely surprised. She had eaten so many fish, but she had never encountered a poisonous fish before.

Bai Xinyu was also curious, but she didn't quite believe it. She thought the brother and sister were probably lying to them, so she smiled and said, "Poisonous? Don't worry, we're immune to all poisons. We won't be afraid of your poison, right, Jiuling?" After she finished speaking, she glanced at Yue Jiuling and winked at her.

Yue Jiuling immediately understood what she meant and said, "That's right, we're not afraid of your poison."

After the two finished speaking, they pretended to grab the girl. The girl was so frightened by this that she almost cried. She grabbed her brother's clothes and shouted, "Brother, save me! Run!"

The boy reacted quickly and immediately tried to run away with his sister, but the two siblings were no match for Yue Jiuling and the others. They were grabbed by the collar after only a few steps.

Once the girl was caught, she burst into tears: "Waaaah~ Sisters, please let me go! I'll go get a demon license right now. Please don't eat me! I'm really poisonous. If you eat me, you'll be poisoned too! Waaaah..."

Yue Jiuling was holding her back when she heard her still saying that she was poisonous, so she said, "Fine, you say you're poisonous, then tell me what kind of fish you are and what kind of poison you are?"

The girl was terrified when she saw Yue Jiuling, and she cried, "I am, I am a pufferfish..."

After the girl finished speaking, she suddenly disappeared with a "poof," and immediately Yue Jiu felt something suddenly appear in her hand.

She looked down and saw that it was a small pufferfish, no bigger than her palm.

"Oh my god, you really are a pufferfish," Bai Xinyu said, looking at the little pufferfish in Yue Jiuling's palm with great disappointment. "Alright, pufferfish are indeed poisonous. Although I've heard that they are a delicious fish, their toxicity is still quite potent."

Yue Jiuling held the baby pufferfish, blinked, and then handed it back to the boy with a disappointed expression: "Alright, since you really can't eat it, then we'll let your sister go. Hurry up and take her to get a demon certificate. The self-service certificate machine downstairs should be ready by now, so you can get the certificate without human intervention."

A few days ago, the headquarters of the metaphysics management office sent people to install a self-service certificate processing machine downstairs, which will reduce everyone's workload.

The boy was about to thank Yue Jiuling and the others for letting them go when someone suddenly shouted from behind, "Stop! You two, stop right there!"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately took off running, not forgetting to thank Yue Jiuling and the other girl as he ran: "Thank you, sisters. We have something to do, so we'll be going now."

Yue Jiuling didn't understand why he ran so fast, but at the same time, she felt that the voice that had just shouted sounded familiar. When she turned her head, wasn't that the idiot Long Er?

Ya Zi rushed in this direction, completely soaked. His clothes were covered in dirty, smelly mud, and his hair and face were filthy. He looked extremely disheveled.

Ya Zi then spotted Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu and shouted at them, "Hurry and chase after them! Don't let that person—no, that demon—get away! He's in cahoots with that stinky catfish!"

Yue Jiuling and the other girl initially didn't know what was going on, but upon hearing this, they immediately realized what was happening and turned around to chase after the boy.

Bai Xinyu even had time to turn back and ask Ya Zi, "Long Er, what's going on? Where are they?"

Ya Zi was clearly angry. As he ran, he said, "Damn it! That stinky catfish is too cunning. We've been tricked."

It turned out that Ya Zi, Ye Dongfeng, and Mu Xiaoyi had noticed the talisman left in the fish pond was moving, so they rushed to the fish pond to check the situation.

When they arrived, they discovered that the giant catfish was transferring the 'hostages'. That's right, the people the giant catfish had captured were still locked up in this fish pond, but they had been protected by magic and a barrier, so none of them had died, and they hadn't been discovered last night.

As soon as the big catfish realized he had been discovered, he immediately called a group of his henchmen from the fishpond to stop them, and then he escaped with the hostages!

Although the group of little monsters in the fish pond weren't particularly powerful, their sheer numbers made them strong. Hundreds or even thousands of them swarmed in and entangled Ya Zi and his companions, pushing and pulling them back into the pond. By the time they finally managed to climb out of the pond, almost all the little monsters had escaped.

After several large monsters crawled out, they split up to catch the smaller monsters. Ya Zi happened to be chasing after the smaller monsters all the way here.

Ya Zi was still holding a cloth bag in his hand, which was already full of the little monsters he had captured. The little monsters inside the bag were still jumping around desperately, trying to escape, but Ya Zi's magic bag was no ordinary bag, and they couldn't get out at all.

Ya Zi said angrily, "I never thought that I, a man of great wisdom, would be bullied by a bunch of small fry. You wait, once I catch those two in front, I'll stew you all together!"

Yue Jiuling ran in the lead. She heard Ya Zi's words and, knowing that everyone was alright, asked, "Where's that big catfish? Do you know where it went?"

Ya Zi shook his head and said, "I don't know, but Xiao Yi has already used a talisman to track it."

Hearing Ya Zi say that, Yue Jiuling felt relieved and began to seriously chase after the figure in front of her.

The boy was exhausted from running. He now realized that Yue Jiuling was in cahoots with the people who had gone to their fishpond. He was on the verge of being caught and was feeling desperate when he suddenly noticed a stream in front of him.

The stream was small, but the current was rapid. He rushed over and was about to jump in when his little sister, whom he was holding, shouted, "Brother, quick, jump in! If there's water, we can escape!"

The little pufferfish shouted and jumped into the water with all its might, and the boy also turned back into his original form with a "plop" and jumped into the water with him.

The water is a paradise for fish. Two fish jumped into the water and disappeared instantly. By the time Yue Jiuling and the others ran over, the fish were long gone.
