When the two followed the scent to a fruit shop, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi were instantly captivated by a particular fruit. The two great demons were drooling and were ready to give up their overtime work.
Actually, the fruit that caused them to make mistakes and drool wasn't anything special; it was durian, a fruit that people both love and hate.
As we all know, durian is a very peculiar fruit. People who like it love it to death, but those who don't like it avoid it like the plague. Some people even feel like vomiting just from the smell. So, in the fruit world, it is quite an oddball.
Yue Jiuling stared at the large durian in front of the fruit shop, then reached out to nudge Ya Zi beside her: "Hey, do you also want to eat durian?"
Ya Zi didn't actually know what a durian was, but he now knew that the big, spiky fruit he really wanted to eat was the durian that Yue Jiu Ling was talking about, because Yue Jiu Ling was referring to the fruit he had his eye on when she spoke.
Ya Zi pointed to the big, golden durian and said, "Is it called a durian? It smells so good! Um, can you lend me some money? I want to buy some and try it."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling laughed: "Haha~ Actually, I also really like eating this fruit. I didn't expect we would have so many common interests, eating fish and eating fruit. How about this, I'll treat you this time, and you can treat me back when you get your salary?"
"Um, okay, thank you."
Ya Zi was actually quite embarrassed. Yue Jiuling had treated him to dinner, and now he didn't have any money to buy fruit. He felt that it was really shameful for a grown man to be like this, but he just didn't have any money, which made him extremely depressed.
Durian is never cheap, and with each one weighing several kilograms, it costs over a hundred yuan. While eating the fruit, Ya Zi kept secretly glancing at Yue Jiu Ling because he felt that Yue Jiu Ling was too good to him. For some reason, he felt warm and happy inside.
After finishing their fruit, the two continued working overtime. It was nighttime, and there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, making it much easier to track down the Blood Demon, as the atmosphere in the air was not as chaotic as during the day.
The two followed the faint demonic aura all the way to a secluded highway. Yue Jiuling remembered that this road was often involved in traffic accidents, so she told Ya Zi to be careful when they arrived.
The road was dark, and the streetlights were probably too old and dim. Seeing that there was no one around, Yue Jiuling said to Ya Zi, "Are you sure you can handle this? I still can't sense anything even though we're here."
Just as Ya Zi was about to speak, a car suddenly drove up in front of them. The car's lights were dim, making it impossible to see the people inside.
As soon as Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi saw the car approaching, they were about to pull over to let it pass when the car in front suddenly stopped and didn't move. Even its dim headlights went out.
"Huh? Why are you stopping?"
"I'm curious," Ya Zi said. Just as he was about to walk over, the driver's door of the car opened, and a man got out.
After the man came out, he waved to Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling: "Hi, can you do me a favor? My car seems to be broken, and I don't know how to fix it. Do you know how?"
As soon as Ya Zi and Yue Jiu Ling saw the man come out, they looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Yue Jiuling raised a pretty eyebrow and said, "How interesting, is the car broken?"
Ya Zi also said, "Oh no! Shall we go help them?"
The man was still waving, and he looked a little anxious, as if he was in a hurry to get somewhere. When Yue Jiuling walked over, she also saw that there seemed to be a woman sitting in the passenger seat.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, but I have no other choice."
The man saw the two approaching and said with a stiff smile.
After glaring at him, she didn't look at his car, but simply said, "You've been waiting here for quite a while, haven't you? It's rare for anyone to come here, so it must be quite a journey."
Upon hearing Ya Zi's words, the man's smile vanished instantly, and he slowly said, "What do you mean?"
The woman inside the car, who had been sitting obediently, turned her head to look at Ya Zi. Her expression had been blank before, but now it suddenly turned ferocious.
Yue Jiuling smiled and patted their car. The car instantly changed its appearance. What was once a normal car had now become a car that had been severely deformed in a collision.
The woman inside the car also changed instantly. She, who had looked normal before, suddenly became a disgusting figure with her face covered in blood, her head shattered, and her body a mixture of blood and grime. Her neck was broken, and her body was deformed from the impact.
The man also changed at the same time. His body became incomplete, his face was bluish-black, his eyes bulged, and he looked ferocious as he tried to pounce on Ya Zi.
Ya Zi glanced at him contemptuously, then lightly raised her foot and kicked the man away in mid-air without even touching him.
The woman inside the car saw this and hurriedly straightened her head, trying to climb out of the car using both hands and feet. However, Yue Jiuling patted the car again, and the woman and the car disappeared onto the road.
Yue Jiuling shook her head as she dialed the phone: "Tsk tsk~ Probably a ghost who died unjustly here, coming out to find a substitute late at night. Luckily, it was us she ran into, otherwise someone would definitely have fallen for it."
The call was answered quickly; it was Mu Xiaoyi who picked up.
"Hey, Jiuling, what's up?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious, I just encountered two ghosts here, so..."
Yue Jiuling actually wanted to tell Mu Xiaoyi about this so that the Mu family could handle it. In the past, she would never have cared about these things, but since becoming a civil servant, she has become more proactive in dealing with such matters whenever she sees them. That's why Yue Jiuling called Mu Xiaoyi immediately.
The Mu and Ye families are both well-known metaphysical families in J City. They are usually willing to serve the country when faced with ordinary matters, so the department sometimes asks them for help.
