"ah!!!"
Ya Zi looked at Yue Jiuling, who was clutching her head and screaming in pain, and was at a loss. He wanted to go forward and tie her up, but he couldn't hold her. He was also afraid of hurting her, so he could only watch anxiously from the side.
Yue Jiuling's consciousness is still fighting against the black energy, which keeps questioning her about her remnant soul. However, Yue Jiuling has no idea what a remnant soul is; she only knows how to desperately drive the black energy out of her territory.
Finally, whether it was because the black mist realized it couldn't get anything out of Yue Jiuling here, or because it was about to lose to Yue Jiuling, it ran away on its own after a short while.
"Hehehe~ Damn it, I almost died. This damn inner demon is crazy..."
After Yue Jiuling drove away the black energy, she regained her senses. However, she was still dizzy and uncomfortable from the demonic energy, and she had even lost control of her body for a while. As a result, she could only collapse on the ground and gasp for breath.
As Ya Zi saw the black aura around her gradually dissipate, he asked anxiously, "Is that you? Jiu Ling, you're back?"
"Yes, I'm back."
Yue Jiuling collapsed to the ground and said, "Where's Xinyu? She should be alright, right?"
"She's fine. I just checked on her; she's just asleep."
Ya Zi helped Yue Jiuling up and said, "You're really something. That demonic energy just now took control of your body, but luckily you managed to take it back yourself, otherwise you might have been even more troublesome than Xin Yu."
"Yes, this inner demon is really strange. It comes to me looking for some remnant soul. What the hell is this? What remnant soul do I have here? My divided souls are all complete. Where is there any remnant soul?"
With Ya Zi's help, Yue Jiuling stood up. After checking on Bai Xinyu and confirming that she was alright, she told Ya Zi everything that had happened. She asked with some confusion, "The remnant soul that the inner demon is looking for definitely isn't mine, but whose remnant soul is it looking for? And why is it coming to me to look for it?"
"This is quite strange. Think carefully, did you take his things?"
Ya Zi was also puzzled by this. He said, "Why don't you talk to your fragmented souls? Could it be that you took some remnant of their souls before and then forgot about it?"
"Hmm, okay, I'll go back and ask them when I have time, but I'm pretty sure I didn't take anything from him."
As Yue Jiuling untied the ropes binding Bai Xinyu, she said, "Alright, go and open the barrier. We'll send Xinyu up there."
Ya Zi already knew it was time to open the barrier when Yue Jiu Ling untied the ropes, so he opened the barrier he had set up. However, he did not expect to see the people surrounding the barrier as soon as it was opened.
"You two finally came out! My goodness, you two didn't even explain how you set up the barrier, you made us so anxious! Is Xinyu alright now?"
As soon as the barrier opened, Mu Xiaoyi immediately walked up and said, "Are you two alright now? You two were being so secretive."
"Exactly, exactly. What kind of method is this to keep us in the dark, even setting up a barrier? Seriously."
Ye Dongfeng also came over to look at Bai Xinyu: "Is Xinyu alright now?"
Hidden, having overheard their conversation, also came over, but he remained silent, looking at Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi with Xiao Baicai, his eyes seeking answers.
"It's alright, you can rest assured, the demonic energy has been removed by us."
Yue Jiuling stepped aside so everyone could see Bai Xinyu say, "If you don't believe me, you can come and check."
"Oh, it really is! All that demonic energy is gone~"
Mu Xiaoyi approached Bai Xinyu and checked her over, saying, "But how did you manage to do that? We tried so many methods but none of them worked. It was fine as long as you locked her inside the barrier."
Upon hearing her words, Yue Jiuling smiled and said, "Hehe, this is a secret method, I can't tell you."
"Alright, if you don't want to say it, then don't. Let's bring Xinyu up first."
When Mu Xiaoyi and the others heard Yue Jiuling mention the secret method, they knew that she wouldn't reveal it, so they stopped asking and took Bai Xinyu to the office first.
Yinni carried Bai Xinyu away, with Mu Xiaoyi, Ye Dongfeng, and Xiaobaicai following behind. Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi brought up the rear. They all left the basement and went up to the office.
Upon arriving at the office, Yinni placed Bai Xinyu in the break room before asking Yue Jiuling, "You don't look well. Is the secret technique damaging to your body?"
Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "Yes, it wasted a lot of my spiritual power. Sigh, it really exhausted me."
As she spoke, Yue Jiuling sat down in her chair, looking utterly exhausted.
"Jiuling, you've worked hard. Why don't you and Young Master Long go back and rest for a while? Anyway, there aren't any cases in the department recently, so you can go back and rest first."
Seeing that Yue Jiuling's complexion was indeed not good, Yinni suggested that she go back and rest.
Mu Xiaoyi also poured Yue Jiuling a glass of water and said worriedly, "Why don't you go back and rest? Xinyu should wake up soon. I will take care of her."
"Yes, Sister Jiuling, Brother Long, you've worked too hard, go back and rest."
Xiao Baicai chimed in, "Anyway, there aren't any cases lately, so we can handle this."
