The car accident happened, and someone quickly called the police. The police and ambulances arrived quickly, but because the girl was hit by the car too badly, it was too late when the ambulance arrived, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Ahhh~ My daughter, my baby~"
The girl's mother was still on the ground, weeping bitterly. She was desperately trying to pull the driver who caused the accident away, crying and begging him to compensate her for her daughter.
"You owe me my daughter! You owe me my daughter!"
Hearing the cries, those present felt a pang of pity. Some tried to pull her away, telling her to stop and let the police handle it, while others criticized the mother.
"Isn't this all your fault? I saw it when we were at the door. That child insisted on running into the road, and you didn't even try to stop him. You were even laughing. Now that something happened, all you do is cry. It's all because you didn't teach him properly. If you had taught him properly, he's already so old, doesn't he know that he can't run around in the road?"
"Exactly, poor kid. If your mom had pulled you out of that mess, you probably wouldn't be dead now."
Hearing what others were saying, the woman retorted, "How can I pull her? I usually can't bear to speak harshly to her. What if she doesn't like it? My daughter usually does whatever she wants; I can't bear to scold or hit her!"
The person who had just said that the mother had harmed the child immediately laughed in anger: "Yes, so you let her do whatever she wanted and then let her run into the main road, right?"
"Waaaaah~ My poor daughter~"
Seeing the police cars and crowds on the main road, Yue Jiuling sobered up a bit. She squinted and saw a small, gray ghost standing next to the woman. She said to Ya Zi, "Forget it, let's go. Those who are destined to die will die sooner or later. I can't be bothered with this."
Ya Zi heard Yue Jiuling's words and looked at the accident scene. He chuckled and said, "That child was destined to die young. If he doesn't die today, he'll die someday. He'll die sooner or later."
"Yeah~"
The two civil servants, having eaten and drunk their fill and witnessed a tragic life event, left the restaurant.
After leaving the restaurant, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi took a taxi to their next destination.
"Oh, by the way, have you looked at the notebook? Besides this small park, where else would be a suitable place for him to hide?"
Yue Jiuling was in the car, holding a small notebook, when she asked Ya Zi a question.
Ya Zi took the notebook from Yue Jiu Ling's hand and said, "It seems there's also a bamboo grove and some kind of courtyard. Here, let me flip through it."
Because their group was operating separately from other groups, in order to prevent everyone from being so passive and running around aimlessly, the head of the K1 department gave them a small notebook that recorded the places they were assigned to, which were all suitable hiding places for the resurrected ancient corpse.
Ya Zi opened the notebook and pointed to a place name inside, saying, "I heard that this place used to be a small cemetery, which was later turned into a small park. But even though it was turned into a park, there are still many graves in the area, and the yin energy there is quite strong, so the chances of him hiding here are not small."
"Well, so we're going here now. But the sun's almost setting, so we won't have to work so hard, right?"
Yue Jiuling took the notebook and then gave Ya Zi a meaningful smile.
As soon as Ya Zi saw Yue Jiuling's smile, he immediately understood what she meant. He smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine."
The car quickly stopped at the entrance of the small park, but there were hardly any people in the park at this time. However, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi did not think anything was wrong. They probably guessed that everyone had gone home for dinner by now.
After paying the fare and getting off the bus, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi walked into the park. Because their meal had taken a long time, it was already evening when they finished eating. By the time they arrived at the park, it was already around five or six o'clock in the evening, and the sun was about to set, leaving only a fiery red sunset and a third of the 'salted egg yolk' on the horizon.
However, the sunset was also very beautiful. Before entering the park, Yue Jiuling turned back and smiled at the sunset, saying, "Tsk~ This color is not bad."
Ya Zi had already entered the park. He heard Yue Jiuling's words, glanced back at the sunset, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go up for a walk? While no one's around now?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling was about to nod in agreement. To be honest, she hadn't been to the heavens for a long time. However, considering their work and the fact that the time and place were inappropriate, Yue Jiuling shook her head and said, "Let's not go. It's still light out. It wouldn't be good if we went up there and got seen. Let's wait until later."
"That's true. This is the human realm. It would be bad if we were seen here."
Since they weren't going to fly, they decided to stay on the ground.
This park wasn't a very famous one, so there weren't any security guards or anything. After Yue Jiuling and her companion went inside, a few people came out one after another, and gradually, there were hardly any people left inside.
Ya Zi walked along the green path in the park for a while, sensing and checking his surroundings as he went. After walking for less than five minutes, he suddenly stopped and said, "Jiu Ling, it seems like there's only one person left here. That person is just ahead. He's not moving, probably sitting still. And the rest of the place is empty. It's strange, how come there's no one here? It's not even that dark yet."
