Demonic Soul
"I don't know. Only Brother Liu can understand what he said." Ye Jing'an thought for a moment, "This should be the place where the monster was killed. Does it mean that the thing is here?"
Qiu Zimu thought it made perfect sense, and the two of them began a carpet search of the space. Ye Jing'an swept the talisman everywhere, and after two rounds of searching, they found nothing.
"You bastard, you lied to me, there's nothing!" Ye Jing'an picked it up and cursed.
At this time, the corpse baby licked the blood stains on the wall and the ground clean, swallowed the bloody hemp rope in one gulp, pointed at Ye Jingan, and ran out.
"It's playing tricks on us. That damn kid just came down here to look for food!" Ye Jing'an was furious.
There was no way, that little thing was something you couldn't afford to mess with. The two followed and saw the corpse baby go to Ye Jing'an's room and point at the bed. Ye Jing'an suddenly realized and turned to Qiu Zimu and said, "I know, its finger means that thing has been here."
The dead baby nodded and said "Hey ha", then ran to the first floor again, sniffed the ground, and finally stopped on the black sofa placed in the corner of the wall, jumping excitedly and babbling something.
The two of them didn't understand, so they guessed one by one.
"Has it been here?"
The corpse baby nodded.
"So where does it go now?"
The corpse baby still refers to this sofa.
"Is it in here?"
The corpse baby smiled and nodded repeatedly, waving his arms, looking very excited.
Without a word, Ye Jingan ran to the second floor to get his tools and prepare to dismantle the sofa. Qiu Zimu pulled off all the black leather on the sofa and found that the sofa was filled with human bones. The human bones were taken out and placed on the floor, except for a skull and pelvis, which belonged to one person.
The corpse baby picked up the dead man's skull and began to gnaw on it.
"Why do you eat everything? You even gnaw on dead people's bones?" Ye Jing'an and Qiu Zimu were stunned.
The two were about to go up and grab the bone to stop him from eating it when a wisp of yellow smoke flew out of the skull and transformed into a little fox. It cursed the corpse baby, calling him a dead thing, and ran out of the kitchen window.
When Ye Jing'an heard this familiar voice, he shouted to Qiu Zimu, "That's it! Don't let it get away!"
When the corpse baby saw the little fox running out, he dropped the skull and chased after it like crazy.
"Damn it, chase it!" When the two ran out, the shadow of the dead baby disappeared.
"Damn it! Both of those incredible creatures have escaped." Ye Jing'an squatted on the ground, scratching his head. "Brother Liu was furious when he caught the corpse baby. If Brother Liu knew it had escaped and asked him to catch it again, what would happen?!"
"Oh, I still have two corpse insects left to find the corpse baby. Let's hurry and chase it." Qiu Zimu pulled him up and released the corpse insects to chase him. The two of them ran around the villa complex like a marathon, but after several laps they still couldn't catch up. "No, we can't run anymore. Let's drive after it."
As soon as he started the car, the little fox and the corpse baby chased each other in the grass of the roadside green belt, passing by the door of the villa. Ye Jingan followed them, twisting and turning several times, but the two little things disappeared again. After searching for a long time, Qiu Zimu found that his corpse Gu had returned to the villa.
Ye Jingan: “…”
"You're kidding us!" Qiu Zimu quickly took back the corpse insect, fearing that it would be eaten again.
The two ran into the house and met Liu Muzhe standing in the living room with a gloomy face. His clothes were torn to shreds, and the dead baby in his hand was still struggling.
"Hahahahahahahahaha...Brother Liu, your clothes are quite fashionable!" Ye Jingan almost forgot what he was going to do. He wanted to laugh when he saw his belly button showing.
Qiu Zimu pulled Ye Jingan's clothes and whispered, "Stop laughing!"
Seeing that he was still laughing, Liu Muze was furious: "What are you two doing? Didn't I tell you not to bother me?"
"Uh..." Ye Jing'an's mouth drooped rapidly after being yelled at. Seeing Liu Muze like this, he took two steps back and stammered, "We were just outside. Did we not disturb you?"
"I was sleeping soundly, and it broke my door and scratched my clothes. Why did you let it out?!" Liu Muzhe shook his torn clothes and shouted loudly.
"Pfft..." Ye Jing'an couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw his clothes. When he met Liu Muzhe's murderous eyes, he bit his flesh and held back his laughter. His upper body was shaking with laughter.
Qiu Zimu was terrified to see Ye Jing'an still laughing. She shielded him from Liu Muze and whispered, "We've found the thing that possessed us yesterday. Let's get the corpse baby to catch it..."
"It's just a demon soul that's very good at hiding. This dead child is much more troublesome than it. Demon souls are its favorite food. How dare you let it out? I can even tear down your house!" Liu Muzhe threw the dead baby into the jade button.
Having just been annoyed by the noise of the dead baby, he rubbed his ears, sighed, and walked towards the pile of bones, thinking that sooner or later he would be tortured to death by the two unlucky children and the dead child.
Qiu Zimu and Ye Jing'an were like two children who had made a mistake. They lowered their heads, blinked, and looked at Liu Muze, not daring to speak. Ye Jing'an still felt wronged by being scolded, and whispered, "If you knew it was a demon spirit, why didn't you catch it yesterday?"
"The whole house is filled with its scent. Where can I catch it? Are you really using my nose as a dog's nose?" Liu Muze glared at Ye Jing'an and added, "I've already run away, and you won't let me rest in the middle of the night?"
"The dead baby can be found." Ye Jing'an muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Why are you comparing me with it? I..." Liu Muzhe was almost mad to death and took a deep breath.
Forget it, if I say one more word, I’ll be so angry that my lungs will explode.
Ye Jingan touched his ear unhappily, not daring to say anything more. He had to comfort her if she got angry, "Brother Liu, I was wrong. I was just thinking about solving this problem by ourselves so that you can have a good rest. Don't be angry."
Liu Muzhe ignored him.
Ye Jing'an knew that Brother Liu was more tolerant of Qiu Zimu. He nudged his arm with his elbow and exchanged a glance. Qiu Zimu nodded and told Liu Muze the whole story of what had happened in the house.
"Well, I guessed it." Liu Muzhe said calmly.
"You knew why you didn't tell me yesterday!" Ye Jing'an saw Liu Muzhe turning around and glaring at him, and then he pursed his lips awkwardly.
"I told you yesterday that I knew, but you kept trying to explain that you two weren't one." Liu Muze was afraid that he didn't know when he said it, so he added, "I didn't tell you that even if you were, you didn't have to explain anything to me."
"I..." Ye Jingan was choked and speechless. It turned out that they were thinking different things.
"Okay, ask someone to deal with the bones and replace my door." Liu Muzhe said.
"Okay." Ye Jing'an walked up to the second floor and saw a big hole in Liu Muze's door. He could even imagine the scene when the corpse baby entered. Ye Jing'an grinned with gloating and ran to the stairs and shouted to Liu Muze, "Brother Liu, were you so scared that you jumped out of bed when he broke in? Hahahahaha..."
Liu Muze glared at him fiercely. What a jerk! He shouldn't have mentioned that!
Ye Jingan covered his mouth, ran back to his room, and said to Yukou: "Tell me, why did you provoke him? You made us get scolded too."
After hearing about the discovery of human bones, the property manager arrived shortly thereafter, along with several police officers. One officer, who appeared to be in his forties or fifties, said to Ye Jingan and the others, "Excuse me, my last name is He. I was the officer in charge of this case back then. Can I ask you some questions?"
"Of course." Officer He asked about what happened, and Ye Jing'an answered mostly truthfully. But he didn't tell him that it was the corpse baby who found the bones, and just made up an excuse to fool him.
"Can I take another look at the basement where they torture animals? We need to take some photos." Officer He raised his SLR camera.
Ye Jingan nodded and helped them open the wooden door.
When the police officers saw the torture instruments laid out below, they were all dumbfounded. Officer He was stunned and said, "Why are these things here? I clearly took them all away back then."
All the police turned to look at Ye Jingan and his companions.
Ye Jingan said: "Why are you looking at us? We had these when we came."
Qiu Zimu said: "Yeah, it's none of our business."
Officer He took out the photos taken that year and found that the types and placement of the torture instruments were exactly the same, except for the hemp rope.
Ye Jingan glanced at the photo. The missing rope was the one that the corpse baby had eaten. He blinked and said nothing.
"Call the physical evidence department to see if these torture instruments are still in the police station!" Officer He said seriously.
The physical evidence department searched for a long time but found that everything was gone. They also checked the surveillance footage but found no evidence of anyone taking the torture instruments away; they simply vanished into thin air.
There was no other way, so the police could only take the items away again and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. If you find anything else, please contact us as soon as possible."
"No problem, thank you for your hard work, officer." After the police left, Ye Jing'an turned around and asked Liu Muzhe how to catch the little monster.
"I have arranged everything." Liu Muzhe said.
"What did you do?" Ye Jing'an asked curiously.
"You'll know tonight." Liu Muzhe chuckled.
No matter how Ye Jingan asked, Liu Muze just wouldn't say anything. At night, after washing up and lying on the bed, Ye Jingan thought about being pounced on by Qiu Zimu yesterday. Liu Muze was so mysterious that he didn't tell him what he had arranged. He always felt uneasy when he slept. He quickly got out of bed and locked the door, thinking that he would not open the door no matter who came tonight.
No, it can still be opened if Brother Liu comes!
After falling asleep, Ye Jing'an had a strange dream. In the dream, Liu Muzhe was squatting beside him and licking his face with his tongue. When he asked Liu Muzhe what he was doing, he didn't respond. He just stared at him and smiled in a rather obscene way.
Ye Jingan realized something was wrong and slapped his hand on the bedside table, waking up in pain. After waking up, Ye Jingan felt a heavy object pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe. In the darkness, eyes with a yellow light were staring at him, and they licked him provocatively.
"Fuck, you spit on my face, I'll beat you to death!" Ye Jing'an swung a fist, but the little fox dodged it. Ye Jing'an turned on the light in the room and slashed at it with his sword.
The little fox seemed to be teasing Ye Jing'an, giving him a chance to catch it, but dodged when he was about to catch it, leaving Ye Jing'an's room in a mess. The glass ornaments on the wall cabinet were scattered all over the floor, and Ye Jing'an's ankle was scratched by the glass fragments.
