"Huh? What's wrong with me? I'm fine. I've been sleeping the whole time. If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known you were looking for me."
The stone monster, which had been lying quietly like an ordinary stone, opened its strange eyes when Yue Jiu Nian woke it up. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, it said, "Huh? Where is this place? Where did you bring me? Is this the outside world?"
Yue Jiu Nian placed the stone monster on the bedside table in her room and said, "Hmm, this is the human world. This is my room. I'll take you to see other places later."
The stone monster seemed quite satisfied. It said, "Hmm, not bad. I didn't expect the world outside the human realm to be so nice. Your place looks very comfortable."
"Comfortable?" Yue Jiu Nian asked the stone monster curiously upon hearing the word, "By the way, can a stone like you feel comfortable?"
“Yes, yes,” said the stone monster. “When I was sunbathing before, I told a passing magpie that I really liked sunbathing, and then the magpie told me that it also liked sunbathing and that sunbathing was very comfortable, so I learned what comfort felt like.”
"Wow~ I didn't expect you stone spirit to be so amazing, you actually know these things. Generally speaking, you don't have any feelings about anything. But judging from your appearance, if you cultivate more diligently, you'll probably be able to take human form soon, and then you can go wherever you want." Yue Jiu Nian said, holding the stone in one hand.
Stone said happily, "If I could really cultivate myself into a human, that would be wonderful. I've wanted to have a pair of feet that can walk for a long time."
"Haha~ It will happen, good luck."

Xiao Baicai, wearing her new hat, went out on a field mission with Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi and the other monsters. In the afternoon, the department received a case, and they went out to investigate.
This case involves a female student who was mysteriously murdered in a classroom. The cause of death was that her internal organs were removed by disemboweling her. When she died, she was still tightly clutching a makeup mirror and a fruit knife in her hand, and all her removed internal organs were neatly arranged on her desk.
The police reported to the management office that they suspected a monster was responsible for the murder, so Yue Jiuling and the others came.
When Yue Jiuling arrived at the crime scene, she found that the classroom had a strong yin energy, but no demonic energy.
She walked up to Ya Zi and said, "Did you sense anything? I don't think it's the work of a monster."
Little Cabbage was a little afraid of the corpse, so he kept his distance. He said, "Sister Jiuling, I also don't think it was made by a monster. It's so cold and eerie here."
Bai Xinyu and Yinni had already stepped over the cordon to examine the body. Bai Xinyu touched the body's face without even putting on gloves: "Tsk, this child doesn't seem very pleasing to the eye. Could it be that someone killed her because they didn't like her? But there is definitely no demonic aura here, and judging from her hand gestures when she grabbed the knife, it seems like she committed suicide."
The deceased held the knife with the tip pointing towards himself.
Hidden also said, "Yeah, I also think it looks like self-harm or suicide, but to be able to endure such great pain and dig out her internal organs, there must be something helping her."
Yue Jiuling was originally slacking off by playing on her phone, not even glancing at the corpse, because she didn't think this murder was the work of a demon. So, after hearing Bai Xinyu and Yin Ni's words, she immediately called back to her department:
"Then what's the point of us looking at ghosts? Let's go, let's go. If it's not a case involving monsters, let's hand it over to our dear comrades in the next group. It's more appropriate for them to handle this case."
Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi from the next group quickly received a call from Yue Jiuling. After listening to Yue Jiuling's report, Ye Dongfeng laughed and scolded, "Damn, wasn't it supposed to be a monster? How come it's a ghost now? Take another look, just in case you're wrong."
Mu Xiaoyi also said, "That's right, you guys should take a closer look. There are only two people in our group right now, and we don't have enough manpower to go out with."
Yue Jiuling knew that her two good colleagues wanted to slack off, so she waved to everyone and said, "Come on, come on, we can't be more serious now. There's no demonic aura at all, but the yin energy is chilling. It must be a ghost killing people."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyi on the other end of the phone said, "Okay, could you guys stay and help out? There are only two people in our group right now, and your group has so many people, could you come and help out?"
In fact, Mu Xiaoyi was not wrong. The number of people in their two groups is indeed unbalanced, because Yue Jiuling's monster group now has five people.
It was fine when there were only Bai Xinyu, Yinni, and Yue Jiuling; it was just one more person. But later, Ya Zi and Xiao Baicai joined, so suddenly there were three more people from the neighboring group. It was indeed not good to solve cases like this.
After hearing Mu Xiaoyi's request, Yue Jiuling considered that their numbers were indeed too small, and said, "Alright, I'll tell everyone later, but I suggest you ask Lao Yu to add more people. It's really not enough to just have the two of you all the time."
"Okay, I understand, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Jiuling said to everyone, "Xiaoyi said they don't have enough hands, do you want to stay and help?"
Bai Xinyu looked around and said, "Sure, we'll have nothing to do back in the office anyway, so we might as well find something to do."
Ya Zi and Xiao Bai Cai also said they could stay and help, since they were just idling around anyway.
