"I don't know if the others have found any clues, but we haven't received any new information recently, so I guess there's nothing left."
Ya Zi also felt that this case was quite troublesome. When he first came over, he thought he was just coming to help find a body, but he didn't expect that the body was so good at hiding, and that it had been hidden for so long without any news.
"Tsk tsk~ Jiuling, where do you think he went? He's supposed to be a zombie, he can't just keep hiding like this, he has to come out and eat something eventually, right?"
Yue Jiuling was also a little confused: "Yeah~ that's what I think too. It's okay if he doesn't eat for a day or two, but it's impossible for him to not eat for a long time. This guy is really strange."
"Wait a minute... do you think he might have already left the city?"
Ya Zi suddenly thought of this question, because corpses that have come back to life usually cannot go without eating. Now that they have woken up, they definitely need to eat or drink blood, otherwise they will go crazy. So the fact that there has been no news about the corpses is really puzzling to them.
"That's not impossible, but if he went somewhere else, he should have been discovered, unless he is..."
Yue Jiuling suddenly stopped speaking here. She turned to look at Ya Zi with a look of horror and said, "Unless, unless he was caught and not reported, or he has become very intelligent and has learned to find food for himself without being discovered."
Yue Jiuling had actually come up with this idea, not just as a random guess, but because there had been similar cases before.
A few years ago, the management department of J City arrested several cultivators who were secretly raising corpses. However, when cleaning up the corpses, one of the corpses accidentally rose up and escaped. They searched for more than half a month but could not find it. In the end, it was only found after someone reported it because of a major incident.
The truly shocking thing was that the corpse was captured and kept as a pet. The person who kept it was also from the world of metaphysics. However, that person's cultivation was not high, and he wanted to keep a resurrected corpse for fun. As a result, he overestimated his abilities and was killed by the corpse! Moreover, his family members were also imprisoned by the highly intelligent corpse and raised like pigs until they were all killed before the neighbors discovered it!
When Yue Jiuling entered the management office, she heard about this case from her colleagues. They said that during those two weeks, the family was tortured terribly and died a terrible death, their bodies covered in injuries.
Yue Jiuling is now worried that what happened back then will happen again.
She said, "There was a case like this a few years ago. Someone was foolish enough to keep a corpse as a hobby, but in the end, his whole family died at the hands of the corpse. They even supplied blood to it for half a month. So, I'm still quite worried about it."
Ya Zi didn't know about the previous cases, but the possibility Yue Jiuling mentioned wasn't entirely impossible. He nodded and said, "Your guess isn't impossible either, but hopefully no one would be that foolish, right?"
"Ugh, this is so annoying. Why do ordinary cases become so complicated?"
Yue Jiu felt a bit overwhelmed. She quickly finished her meal and urged Ya Zi to eat as well. She said, "I can't take it anymore. In order to find that body as soon as possible and go back on vacation, I think it's time for us to use some methods!"
"What methods?"
Ya Zi didn't quite understand Yue Jiuling's meaning. He looked up at Yue Jiuling with a somewhat bewildered expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Hehe~ Young Master Long, we've always been hesitant to use magic recklessly because we're worried about spiritual energy. But I think we can't worry about spiritual energy anymore in this case."
Ya Zi initially thought Yue Jiuling was up to something, but upon hearing her words, he immediately understood. He smiled and said, "Alright, since that's what you think, then I'll go with you."
As Ya Zi spoke, he quickly lowered his head to eat, saying between bites, "Actually, I've never really understood why you're still afraid to use magic recklessly, even though your crimes have been cleared."
"Well, how should I put it? Before I find my true form, I think it's better to keep a low profile. As you know, we still have a deep-seated hatred for each other in the Demon Realm."
Speaking of the past, Yue Jiuling said with a hint of helplessness, "Moreover, I always have a feeling that the Demon Realm's hatred for me is very deep and unusual, which I don't understand at all. Actually, I was also confused about what happened back then. Why would the Demon Realm want to frame me like this when we had no grudge against each other? It's really strange~"
"Huh? Didn't you offend them and that's why you're being treated like this?"
Hearing Yue Jiuling's words from the side, Ya Zi frowned and looked at Yue Jiuling, saying, "I've heard some things about what happened between you back then. They say that you provoked the people of the Demon Realm first, which is why things turned out this way. If it weren't for that incident, you would have already been among the immortals."
"What the hell? I didn't do that. I just remember going to the Demon Realm for fun during the war between the two realms. Before I even returned to the Immortal Realm, I was wanted by the Demon Realm. They said I had defected to the Demon Realm or something. And before I knew what was going on, the Demon Realm started hunting me down too, with the reason being some kind of spy or undercover agent. What the hell is this? I just went on a trip, and this happened before I even came back."
Yue Jiuling grew angrier as she spoke: "Damn it, these two bizarre things are one thing, but the worst part is that the person I was hanging out with was actually that demon Xinmo! He was drinking and having fun with me one day, and the next day he was trying to kill me!"
