Late at night, in an abandoned fishpond in a small village on the western outskirts of the city, two voices were quietly chatting.

"Brother, brother, do you think we can go out tonight?"

"No, we must stay here and watch over things; we cannot leave."

"Ugh, this is so annoying. I really don't understand why Boss Yu wants us to stay here and watch over this dilapidated house. We don't even know who's locked up inside."

"Shh, the boss told us to watch, so we should just watch obediently and not cause any trouble!"

"Oh, I see."

Inside the management office, Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi had both changed into new clothes. The two people, who usually dressed very properly, had suddenly changed into very flamboyant outfits.

"Oh my god, this skirt is way too short! Can I change into another one? It's practically covering my butt!"

With a flushed face, Yue Jiuling tugged at her miniskirt and said, "I don't think we need to push ourselves so hard."

Yue Jiuling felt quite embarrassed that she was dressed so provocatively for the first time, but she had no way to change it.

Because the investigation had yielded no leads over the past few days, the colleagues in the department came up with a plan: to send two girls, Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi, as bait to lure the perpetrator out.

Mu Xiaoyi glanced at Yue Jiuling's miniskirt and lace crop top, then compared it to her own tank top and shorts, and pouted, saying:

"I also think it's too much. It's just about being used as bait to catch fish, right? Ordinary clothes would be fine, why do you have to wear these clothes?"

Ye Dongfeng chuckled to himself, "Oh dear, my young ladies, you'll have to bear with it for a bit. It's just for one night. If we can't catch anyone, it'll be our turn tomorrow."

Hidden also smiled at the two of them, "Yes, just bear with it, so that we can solve the case as soon as possible."

Ya Zi, who is usually very talkative, didn't say a word this time. He sat with his back to his two female colleagues and didn't make a sound. However, Xiao Baicai next to him felt that something was wrong with him because his face seemed to be a little red.

Xiao Baicai drank the red bean milk tea that Yue Jiuling had bought for him, then chuckled and praised Yue Jiuling and the others' clothes. At the same time, he whispered to Ya Zi, "Brother Long Er, what's wrong with you? Why is your face suddenly so red? You're not even looking at Sister Jiuling and the others' clothes. Are you shy because you're afraid to look at them?"

Ya Zi was an old monster, and even the most beautiful fairies in the heavens would never wear such revealing clothes. This was the first time Ya Zi had ever seen a girl dressed so provocatively, so he was actually a little shy.

However, Ya Zi was too embarrassed to admit it after Xiao Baicai discovered his shyness. He turned to look at Yue Jiuling and the other person guiltily and said stubbornly, "What do you mean I'm too embarrassed to look? I just don't want to look. And why are you so gossipy?"

Little Cabbage wasn't afraid of Ya Zi's scolding; she just continued to chat and drink her milk tea with everyone, all smiles. However, ever since Ya Zi turned away, his eyes had been secretly glancing at Yue Jiuling. He was secretly thinking to himself, "That half-demon cat is usually so neurotic and fierce, with absolutely no femininity. Who knew she'd be so pretty when she's dressed up..."

With her exquisite makeup on, Yue Jiuling was also admiring her own beauty. Holding a small mirror in one hand and applying lipstick with the other, she said, "Hmph, I, Yue Jiuling, am a beauty after all. I refuse to believe I can't catch you stinky salted fish!"

Mu Xiaoyi chimed in, "That's right, you stinky men, just watch how our two beauties reel in a big fish!"

Just as Mu Xiaoyi finished speaking, Bai Xinyu, who was doing their makeup, exclaimed, "Oh no! I was so busy covering up your clothes and makeup that I forgot to bring you perfume. Xiaoyi doesn't need perfume, but Jiuling needs it."

Yue Jiuling has demonic energy, although it is usually very weak, but that doesn't mean it's not there. This time they are going to pretend to be humans as bait, so it's best not to reveal their identities.

However, I can't find any perfume right now, so it's a bit difficult to cover up the smell on my body.

"Oh well, let's just forget about finding the perfume. Anyway, a lot of monsters have gone missing, so maybe we can lure people out like this," Yue Jiuling said after thinking for a moment.

Since Yue Jiuling had said so, everyone stopped worrying about it. Seeing that it was almost time, they set off together for their destination, the most famous bar in J City.

Hidden was still driving, taking Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi to the bar. Once there, the two best friends went inside hand-in-hand. Meanwhile, Ye Dongfeng and Ya Zi, in another car behind, ate a late-night snack near the bar entrance, pretending to be passersby.

Xiao Baicai came out with everyone this time. Originally, everyone disagreed with him coming out, but Xiao Baicai said that he also needed to get some exercise and couldn't always hide in the management office, so everyone let him come along. However, this time he didn't go out alone, but went with Bai Xinyu.

Not long after Yue Jiuling and Mu Xiaoyi entered the bar, Xiao Baicai and Bai Xinyu also arrived at the bar by taxi.

"Oh my god, it's so noisy in here, I feel like I'm going deaf."

As soon as Yue Jiuling entered the bar, she was startled by the noisy noise inside. It was her first time in such a place, and she had never liked such smoky and run-down places. If it weren't for work, she definitely wouldn't have come to such a place.
