Because this was the last night bus, there weren't many passengers. After everyone else got off, Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi slowly disembarked.
They had assumed that someone would come to pick them up after they got off the train, but to their surprise, even after most of the other passengers had left the station, no one had come to meet them.
"Jiuling, could it be that they haven't come to pick us up yet? Why haven't we seen them?"
Ya Zi looked around at the people and complained, "They said someone would come to pick us up when we got to the station, but where is everyone? What's going on? Do they not know what time we're arriving?"
Yue Jiuling had already started making phone calls. As she spoke, she said, "Let me call and ask. They might be on their way and haven't arrived yet."
She was calling Director Yu because she didn't have the contact information for her colleagues in L City, so she had no choice but to contact Director Yu.
Fortunately, Director Yu was still awake at this time. After learning about the situation, he gave Yue Jiuling a phone number and said, "Call this number. This is the number of the director of the K1 department in L City. If you have any questions, just call him."
"Oh, okay."
Yue Jiuling got the number and made the call again, but just as she dialed the number, she saw a black car pull up at the station entrance, and a man and a woman got out of the car.
The man was wearing a black coat, and his hair was very eye-catching because, just like the previous Moon Nine Disaster, he had a head of colorful rainbow hair.
The woman was wearing a white long dress and high heels. She was of average appearance, but her expression was somewhat indifferent.
As soon as Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling saw the people coming, they guessed that these two were probably the people who had come to pick them up.
Before anyone answered the phone, Yue Jiuling immediately hung up and turned to look at the man and woman.
Sure enough, the woman immediately asked, "Are you from Department A1 in J City? We are from Department K1 in L City."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiuling immediately nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, you've come to pick us up, right? Let's go then."
The man nodded and said, "Yes, but because of the urgency, we brought you directly to the crime scene. Half of our colleagues in K City are out there now."
After the man finished speaking, he returned to the car. Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi already knew that they were going to get to work, so they had no objections.
Ya Zi and Yue Jiuling got back into the car and followed the two to the crime scene.
Because the ancient corpse was unearthed by an archaeological team, it would probably be in a museum by now if it hadn't come back to life. However, the ancient corpse was brought back to life by that fugitive monster, so the excavation site has been cordoned off, and relevant departments have gone there to investigate.
While in the car, the two colleagues explained the situation to Yue Jiuling and Ya Zi. The escaped monster was an ancient demon, said to be a giant centipede in its original form. He had been imprisoned for decades, and his escape was likely planned long ago, taking advantage of a moment when the guards weren't looking. Because his demonic aura was so strong, he accidentally crawled into a tomb that an archaeological team was excavating while he was escaping through a tunnel.
At that time, the archaeological team had just dug out the owner of the tomb and opened the coffin for inspection. Suddenly, the old monster ran out. Then, the coffin was hit by the giant centipede demon's body, and the corpse fell out. Upon contact with the demonic energy, it immediately came back to life!
"Fortunately, there weren't many people there at the time; most of those present were staff members. When the giant centipede came out, it injured a few people, and the resurrected ancient corpse bit an old professor. Fortunately, our department's fugitive apprehension team arrived in time, erased the memories of everyone present, and temporarily healed the professor who was bitten by the corpse. Otherwise, things would have been much more complicated."
The driver was the man with the rainbow hair. Judging from his hair color and aura, Yue Jiuling had already guessed that he was probably a parrot spirit, while the woman with the indifferent face was probably a sheep spirit.
After getting a general understanding of the situation, Ya Zi asked, "Which direction did the ancient corpse run in? Did you set a location? By the way, besides these three cities, will that centipede demon not go anywhere else?"
The female sheep spirit said, "When we arrived, the corpse had already gone mad. There wasn't time to put on the tracking device. However, the corpse had just come back to life. If it hasn't eaten fresh blood in the past two days, it will probably hide. But we are afraid that it will continue to hurt people. As for the escapee, we don't know much either. We heard that he might go to J City or C City. We only made the arrest based on those guesses."
"That's right. I've also heard that the centipede demon seems to have some enemies in J City, so it's quite possible that it's going to your J City. However, we didn't just notify these two cities; we notified the whole country. It's just that it's more likely that it will go to J City."
The parrot spirit also spoke.
After listening to the two men, Yue Jiuling fell silent. She was thinking that because of their department and other departments in J City, there was nothing to worry about if they confronted each other head-on. However, if the fugitive was going to hurt someone, then the trouble would be much greater.
Yue Jiuling thought for a moment, then suddenly thought of another possibility and said, "By the way, was the last time you saw him at the crime scene?"
