When Ya Zi sensed the Blood Demon's aura, he rushed over immediately, but he was too late. When he arrived at the bathroom, he only saw a skinned corpse, but the corpse was not bloody at all, just a little disgusting.
The corpse was sitting in a bathtub filled with blood. Ya Zi glanced at the blood in the water, then studied the corpse. He felt very strange. Didn't the Blood Demon only like blood? When did it start liking human skin?
He could no longer sense the Blood Demon's location, and seeing such a disgusting corpse, he finally took out his phone and made a call.
When Yue Jiuling and the others arrived, Ya Zi was still examining the corpse.
Mu Xiaoyi glanced at the corpse and couldn't help but cover her mouth and run away. The rest of the people weren't much better off; they all found the corpse quite disgusting.
"I've searched this house thoroughly. There's no other aura inside except for this person's or that witch's."
Ya Zi wiped the mirror with his hand and said.
After inspecting the area, Yue Jiuling realized that this was the work of the Blood Demon. However, she was also very curious about when the Blood Demon had become interested in human skin. Why would he peel off human skin?
Bai Xinyu and Yinni put on gloves and examined the body. They concluded that the body had been skinned while still alive, and they could imagine how painful the skinning process must have been for the victim.
Ya Zi stroked her chin with one hand and said, "I've been investigating the Blood Demon all along, and I took leave because of her, but I didn't expect to be a step too late."
Ye Dongfeng looked solemn and said, "I didn't expect the Blood Demon to appear again. I heard that the last time she appeared was a hundred years ago. She is really too powerful and a great demon. At that time, several sects and families fought against her for a long time but could not destroy her. In the end, they could only drive her away. No, I have to report this matter to the higher-ups and make sure that all the major sects and families pay attention!"
Mu Xiaoyi also called home: "I also need to tell my family that this great demon is no ordinary little monster."
Ya Zi listened to their conversation and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she looked up at Yue Jiuling. Ever since the two of them had eaten squid tentacles together, their relationship had improved considerably. Although it wasn't the best, at least they weren't as competitive as before.
Yue Jiuling saw Ya Zi's eyes and knew he had something to say to her, so she turned and walked out of the bathroom, and Ya Zi followed her out.
"What is it?" Yue Jiuling asked, standing in the deceased's living room.
The deceased's family appeared to be quite wealthy, living in a mansion. The absence of any other presence in the house indicated that she lived alone.
After Ya Zi came out, he covered his mouth with his hand and pretended to cough: "Ahem, well, I need your help."
Ya Zi was embarrassed when he said this. He felt very uncomfortable that he, a great demon, had to ask a woman he used to hate for help. But at this moment, he really needed Yue Jiu Ling's help.
Yue Jiuling was quite surprised to hear this. She never expected that Long Er would need her help one day. However, she knew that this favor was probably related to the Blood Demon, so she nodded and said, "Okay, tell me how I can help you."
Ya Zi was taken aback by Yue Jiuling's quick agreement, because he thought she wouldn't agree to help. After all, the two of them had always been outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds. He was surprised that she agreed so readily. He looked at Yue Jiuling, somewhat bewildered, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm helping because I also want to catch the Blood Demon as soon as possible. Tell me your plan." Yue Jiuling felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ya Zi.
Ya Zi snapped out of her daze and said, "Um, it's like this, I have a plan to lure out the Blood Demon, it's something I just came up with, come on, let me tell you..."
Because the victim died at the hands of a non-human, the case naturally fell under the jurisdiction of the management office. This gave the colleagues in the office a real headache. The hostage hadn't been found yet, which was already troublesome enough, and now there was this skinning man. This was going to kill someone. Even Director Yu was having a headache.
When the people in the department are in a bad mood, the big catfish locked in the dark room will suffer, because everyone will stomp on its soft, big belly to vent their anger!
The giant catfish was locked in the basement. Everyone set up a barrier around it and put some water in it. It lay in the water all day crying, "Waaah~ You have no humanity, no demonic nature! All you do is bully the fish! I've already told you I don't know where the hostage is! How can you be so unreasonable? Waaah~ You still bully me like this every day~"
Unfortunately, no matter how much the big catfish cries, no one will feel ashamed, because it is one of the culprits causing trouble for everyone!
Because there are more cases now, everyone has divided up their manpower into two teams to investigate the cases. Yue Jiuling, Ya Zi, and Xiao Baicai are in one team, and the three of them are specifically tasked with tracking down the Blood Demon. The rest of the team will continue to look for the unfortunate hostages.
That's right, Little Cabbage also came out this time. Because the Blood Demon is only interested in things with flesh and blood, and the Blood Demon is not interested in Little Cabbage, a vegetable spirit, so Ya Zi decided to ask Little Cabbage to help deliver the message.
For a monster to cultivate into a true demon, it must endure countless hardships. The cultivation process from a minor monster to a major monster is even more difficult. Of course, the higher their level, the greater their power.
Therefore, if a great demon encounters an accident and is on the verge of death, the demons and monsters nearby who hear the news will definitely come to 'snatch food', because the great demon's power is too great. If they can eat a piece of his flesh or gain some power, it will improve the cultivation of those who come to 'snatch food'.
