Yue Jiuling also said, "Yes, you should withdraw your magic now and restore them to normal. That way, we can have an easier time."
The Plague Spirit looked at the two people before him, reluctant to withdraw his spell. He worried about being punished upon his return and said with a disgruntled expression, "But if I don't complete the mission, I'll be punished when I get back!"
Ya Zi looked at him coldly and said, "Isn't it right to be punished? You missed the deadline and caused an incident that shouldn't have happened. I'm already being lenient by not reporting you. Do you still want to escape punishment?"
Ya Zi became increasingly unhappy as she thought about it. This brat was really something else. He made a mistake but didn't want to take responsibility for it. Instead, he tried to cover it up by causing trouble. If Ya Zi could stand up for himself, he would definitely have beaten her up!
Yue Jiuling was also a little unhappy. She never liked bratty kids and said, "Now I'll give you two choices: either you take back your spell and go back to admit your mistake, or we'll go up and report you. We're not ordinary little monsters; we can easily go up and complain about you."
The Plague Spirit also realized that Yue Jiu Ling was no ordinary demon. In addition, he had heard of Ya Zi's great name. In order to avoid being reported and suffering more punishment, he had no choice but to go back and admit his mistake. Perhaps admitting his mistake would result in a lighter punishment.
"Okay, I'll go back and apologize myself."
The Plague Spirit eventually withdrew its spell and left the human realm.
Seeing that the people on the street had fainted from the plague spirit's magic and stopped fighting each other, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Jiuling said, "Alright, although the Plague Spirits are considered deities, they still carry a bit of bad luck. They should get seriously ill, and then they'll be fine. But it's good that they're sick, because it'll be a good opportunity to explain to everyone that it's caused by a viral infection."
Ya Zi nodded and said, "Hey, I thought it was some kind of demon or monster, but it turns out to be that brat, Wen Ling. Luckily, we scared him off, otherwise a few people would still have died here."
Yue Jiuling was struggling with whether or not to tell everyone the truth, but she didn't know how she had scared away the Plague Spirit. Should she expose Ya Zi?
"By the way, how should we talk to the section chief and the others about this?"
As Yue Jiuling walked towards the exit, she said, "Do you want to tell the truth?"
Because those people fainted for no apparent reason, Director Yu and the others who were guarding outside also noticed something was wrong and all climbed over the wall to check.
Ya Zi thought for a moment. He had no intention of revealing his identity yet, so he said, "Let's not. How about we say that the pathogen is a monster that is very well hidden and no one can detect it? But we just discovered it and it ran away. After it ran away, those people were fine."
Yue Jiuling understood that Ya Zi did not intend to reveal his identity yet, so she agreed to use this method to keep it a secret from everyone.
When the two of them met their colleagues who came to inspect, they told them the fabricated story. Yue Jiuling looked very regretful and indignant and said, "That's how it is. When we finally found out that the sanitation worker was possessed, he ran away before we could catch him. He was so clever and hid so well that we couldn't find him at all."
Director Yu believed Yue Jiuling's words. He had checked those people and found no problems. So he waved his hand and said, "Since they are all fine, let's call the hospital. Judging from their appearance, they are probably going to get sick, but it's just a common flu, so it shouldn't attract too much attention."
Mu Xiaoyi was also checking people, but she was very careful and used talismans to check them one by one. However, after she couldn't find anything, she said, "Well, there shouldn't be any major problems. At worst, we can just say they are infected with some kind of virus. That way, we'll have a reason to seal off this place."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Yue Jiuling decided to head back. She hadn't expected it to be resolved so quickly, especially since it was caused by a bratty kid. Fortunately, Ya Zi recognized Wen Ling; otherwise, several people would have surely died here before the matter was settled.
Ya Zi could tell what Yue Jiuling was thinking just by looking at her expression. He quietly moved closer to her and said, "Hehe, don't worry, that Plague Spirit will definitely be punished. I've heard that the Plague God has never had a good temper."
Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, Yue Jiuling laughed maliciously: "Haha~ It seems this brat deserves a beating."
