“Although it’s useless, I’ll still say it.” Ming Youyi said helplessly, “Jinhu Community is named after a lake in the community. However, since last week, many people have suddenly started committing suicide by jumping into the lake. As of today, ten people have died by jumping into the lake.”

"The police could not find any reason for the deaths. All of these people who drowned themselves were living good lives and had no reason to commit suicide. Fearing that more people would continue to drown themselves, the property management drained the lake, but the bodies of those ten people were not found at the bottom of the lake."

"So the case was handed over to the Special Administration Bureau, and headquarters sent the two of you to handle it. And me..." Ming Youyi forced a smile, "I'm here to supervise you."

After listening, Ye Jiu nodded thoughtfully, "A water ghost, but where can it go if all the water has been drained?"

"That's something you two will have to find out. I can't help you with that. This mission is also a test for you. Once you pass, you'll graduate completely, and I won't be able to accompany you on missions as often as I used to."

"Alright." Ye Jiu left regretfully without receiving any prompting from Ming Youyi.

"Is there a water storage facility in the community?" Lin Jin'an asked abruptly.

"Go ask the property management. I don't know either. This is my first time here too." Ming Youyi shrugged, determined not to offer them any help.

Ye Jiu gasped; the physics information cheat had stopped working.

"Let's go then, let's go find the property management first." Ye Jiu pulled her hand away from Lin Jin'an's. "Stop playing around, let's deal with this first."

Lin Jin'an didn't take it seriously. "It's either at the bottom of the lake or in the water pipe. Oh, or maybe it's disgusting enough to crawl into the sewer. It can't possibly go anywhere else."

"That's not necessarily true." Ye Jiu disagreed with Lin Jin'an's guess. "What if it has already cultivated to the point where it can live without being in the water? It has already eaten ten people."

"Eating more people will only make you a water ghost."

Lin Jin'an raised her hand to shield her face from the sun. "The sun is nice today, so we're more likely to be in the water."

"Let's go take a look first." Ye Jiu walked into the residential area. She just wanted to finish this matter quickly and then go home to rest as soon as possible.

Upon entering the residential compound, the property management staff had been waiting for them for some time. The police told them that they had brought in personnel from a special department to handle the matter.

The property management assumed he was a master who could exorcise ghosts and were afraid of neglecting him.

Under the blazing sun, the young man was dumbfounded to see from afar that the "masters" who came to exorcise the ghost were actually two people.

"Wait, wait, wait...were the police tricked...?"

Property manager Shi Zhaoxing was inwardly groaning. He had thought it must be a highly respected and experienced master. He had inquired about all the well-known masters in Beijing, but he had never heard of anyone so young.

However, Ming Youyi was right beside them, so it was impossible that she had mistaken him for someone else.

Shi Zhaoxing glanced at the tea he had prepared and sighed, "It's useless now. I'll keep it for myself."

Although it seemed a bit unreliable, I still had to greet them with a smile, "You must be the comrades from the special department here to handle this matter, please have a seat."

Ye Jiu waved her hand, "No need, we'll just ask you a few questions and then leave."

"you say."

Are there any water storage facilities in the community?

"No, we have running water now, how could we possibly place a place like this?"

That's true. Ye Jiu pinched her brow. Then she might as well go check the tap.

"Then we're leaving. We'll let you know when we're done." With that, Ye Jiu turned and strode forward.

Lin Jin'an followed closely behind Ye Jiu, "Shall we go check the bottom of the lake first?"

"Hmm, perhaps it has cultivated its own 'domain'."

Lin Jin'an tried to grab Ye Jiu's hand, but Ye Jiu skillfully dodged it. Unable to succeed, Lin Jin'an pouted, "If there's a 'domain,' we'll have to find a way to enter, or lure it into swallowing us. It's so troublesome."

Ye Jiu put her hands behind her back. "Why are you so insistent on holding my hand when you're wearing gloves? It's so hot in the middle of summer, it's making me feel hot."

Lin Jin'an looked down at her hand, which was covered in black gloves. "I want to hold it."

"Oh, then next time you can hold some ice cubes in your palm."

"Is it okay? If I cover myself with ice, can we stick together completely?"

Ye Jiu: ...

"There's air conditioning at home... so you can stick close to me without putting ice in... Lin Jin'an, are you out of your mind...?"

"Oh right, I forgot." He innocently fiddled with his fingers. "My brain isn't exactly high-tech to begin with."

Okay, okay, so you're just admitting you're open about it, huh?

As they talked, they walked to the lakeside. The lake had been drained, and the silt and garbage at the bottom were clearly visible.

"The people in this neighborhood aren't very well-mannered," Ye Jiu commented truthfully about the pile of garbage.

"I think so too. We can't see anything, it smells terrible, and there are lots of bugs."

Although Lin Jin'an is immune to mosquito bites due to his superpower, he still hates mosquitoes.

The faint buzzing sound made his already uneasy mood even more agitated, and he desperately wanted to use his power to kill them all.

but!

Lin Jin'an turned his head to look at Ye Jiu, and with just one look, Ye Jiu instinctively rubbed his head, "Just bear with it, if I unleash your power now, the land beneath our feet will be gone too."

Although she hadn't tested it, Ye Jiu had a feeling that given Lin Jin'an's chaotic power, she might be able to decompose all the way to the Earth's core.

Drill a hole in the Earth (just kidding).

Lin Jin'an bent down to make it easier for Ye Jiu to rub her head, "I know."

"Now that you know, let's get down to business. Have you found any signs of ghostly activity?"

Lin Jin'an nodded.

Hmm? He nodded?

Ye Jiu asked in surprise, "You found it? Where?"

"If you bend down, you'll see a place at the bottom of the lake that looks like the entrance to a 'domain'."

Ye Jiu bent down to be at the same level as Lin Jin'an and saw the entrance.

But Ye Jiu was disgusted. "Can't we just not go into the bottom of this lake and let the ghosts drag us in? I'm wearing white shoes today, and I really don't want to go down and step into this disgusting lake bottom."

Lin Jin'an nodded, "I don't want to either, and I find it disgusting. Why don't we dress up as ordinary people and wait for this water ghost to swallow us into the 'domain' on its own?"

Ye Jiu looked at Lin Jin'an's gloves and the muscles on her own arms, "But we don't look ordinary."

"It's alright, let's bleed then. No ghost or monster should be able to resist the smell of blood."

Especially the smell of his blood.

It's amazing how Lin Jin'an's blood has an extraordinary attraction to ghosts and monsters, but once a ghost or monster comes into contact with Lin Jin'an's blood, it will be broken down.

Lin Jin'an is a person who was born to exorcise ghosts and monsters; he is a perfect ghost-killing weapon.

The Special Administration even used his blood to develop special bullets to deal with the difficult-to-deal-with large monsters, and also made significant contributions to the harmless disposal of ghosts.
