"There's definitely something wrong here."
Ye Dongfeng took out his phone and called Lao Cai. He asked, "Hey, Lao Cai, can you check the surveillance footage near the alley right now? Just look at the footage from two minutes ago."
Old Cai was a little confused when he received the call, not knowing why Ye Dongfeng wanted to check the surveillance footage now. He said, "You want it now? Well, you'll have to wait a bit. I'll find someone first."
"Hurry up, we just chased that girl into the alley, but there's nothing left in the alley now."
"What? You saw the murderer?"
Upon hearing Ye Dongfeng's words, Lao Cai immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll check for you right away."
After hanging up with Lao Cai, Ye Dongfeng quickly received a short video. The video was only a few seconds long, but it clearly showed that the girl disappeared into thin air after walking into the alley.
After watching the video, Ye Dongfeng and Mu Xiaoyi cautiously searched the alley carefully. They knocked on the floor and the walls, but they didn't find any secret passages or anything unusual.
"What's going on? Have we made a mistake?"
Mu Xiaoyi put her hands on her hips and looked at Ye Dongfeng in front of her, saying, "This shouldn't be the case. We clearly followed her in here, and there's still a trace of her aura here. We couldn't find the secret passage, and there's nothing hidden on the walls. Where did she go? Could she have used a teleportation array?"
"A teleportation array? If that's an array, then it's troublesome."
Ye Dongfeng was also very troubled. He reported what was happening here to Yinni. After learning that they couldn't find her, Yinni sent a voice message saying, "Set up a barrier here and come back. Since she uses this alley to enter and exit, she will definitely come out again."
"Alright, let's set up a barrier then."
Mu Xiaoyi took a few talismans and pasted them on the wall, then chanted an incantation to make the talismans merge into the wall, and finally left the alley with Ye Dongfeng.
"I don't know if she'll come out again. If she moves to a different place instead of here, we might not be able to catch her."
Before leaving, Mu Xiaoyi looked at the alley with some worry.
After they left, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept through the alley. The wind howled and the talismans that had been embedded in the wall were blown out and then fell to the ground and spontaneously combusted.
On the train.
"Ugh, I'm so tired. I've been sitting in the car for so long, my back and waist are aching, I feel terrible."
On her way home, Yue Jiuxing was making instant noodles on the train. Holding a box of noodles in one hand and rubbing her back with the other, she said, "Jiuyue, come give me a back massage, I'm so tired~"
Yue Jiuyue was watching a movie when she heard what she said. She reached out and hit Yue Jiuyue on the back, saying, "If you're tired, why don't we skip the car? Anyway, no one's here anymore, and we don't have to act anymore."
Now that the big boss and Sister Qing are no longer on the bus, they can go back at any time if they don't want to continue their journey home.
Upon hearing Yue Jiuyue's words, Yue Jiuxing nodded and said, "That's right. We should have gotten off the bus with you last night. Why did we even take the bus? Now that we've already paid, we'll lose money if we don't get off at our stop."
"Then let's get off at the next stop so we don't have to pay extra."
Because this train allows passengers to purchase tickets at each stop, they can choose not to continue at the next stop if they don't want to continue.
"Okay, we should be arriving at our destination soon, right?"
Yue Jiuxing got a few punches on the back from Yue Jiuyue, and then said, "Okay, the instant noodles are ready. Let's eat first. It's already afternoon, and we should be at the next stop soon."
"Uh-huh."
There were fast food options on the train, but because they were expensive and the two of them didn't like the food, they preferred to eat instant noodles.
After eating instant noodles and resting for a while, the two heard a train attendant calling out that the next stop was approaching and that passengers should get ready, take their luggage, and prepare to disembark.
"Phew~ We can finally go home. I wonder if Jiuling will kill us. Let's prepare some gifts for her."
After getting off the bus, Yue Jiuxing picked up her backpack and said, "Let's go back first, and then find Jiu Nian. Jiu Ling might not be off work yet at this time."
"Okay, let's try to appease Jiu Nian and the others first, maybe Jiu Ling won't kill us..."
The two split souls, filled with fear, went home while secretly praying that they wouldn't be beaten too badly.
After Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu finished their meal at the restaurant, they received a hidden message.
Hidden: You guys have to stay and work overtime? Fine, be careful. Since this place is so strange, keep an eye on things tonight, and retreat immediately if there's any problem.
Bai Xinyu: Okay, we understand. It's just that the atmosphere here is a bit strange. We want to stay and fish around.
Ye Dongfeng: You guys are going fishing again? Do you need any help?
Yue Jiuling: No need. How's it going on your end? Have you found anything?
Mu Xiaoyi: We just got back. We found the murderer today, but she disappeared in the alley. We set up a barrier in the alley and will go check again later.
Because they were worried that the murderer they were with might not come out, they came back, and also brought some tools with them.
Yue Jiuling: Oh, okay then, you guys be careful too.
Bai Xinyu: Oh dear, it seems we'll all have to work overtime tonight!
