Dai Luan was very sleepy after being freed from the curse, and Miss Qi carried her on her back all the way.
"I feel so exhausted..." Aluan yelled.
"I let you run around," Mu Wan complained, "You must suffer a lot."
Ah Luan knew she was in the wrong, so she remained silent and turned her head on Miss Qi's shoulder. She stared at Shi Wuqi's profile on the other side for a long time, and suddenly said:
"You have something on your mind."
"..."
Shi Wuqi looked at her, frowned, and said with a wry smile, "Why am I worried?"
"You didn't say anything along the way." Aluan said seriously, "Normally, you and Mu Wan would have been teaching me a lesson every time."
Before Shi Wuqi could say anything, Mu Wan spoke anxiously: "Where can I get it!"
"That's right, who wants to sing along with her?"
"You want to be beaten?"
Seeing Mu Wan pretending to draw his umbrella, Shi Wuqi smiled and ran forward. Shan Hai watched the two of them messing around, then looked back at his apprentice. He remained silent on the surface, but secretly sighed in his heart. A Luan was right, he also felt that Wu Qi was harboring something in his heart. He didn't know what Linyou said to him, and he didn't think he was someone who was worried about ordinary things. However, now that the monster has escaped and the spell has been resolved, it stands to reason that everyone is happy.
Shi Wuqi really didn't worry about trivial things. Instead, he was thinking about something more complex. But he didn't expect that although the answer didn't come to his door, an unexpected surprise was waiting inside their hotel.
As soon as I stepped into the store, the proprietress was busy at work. Although the movement restriction order has not yet been lifted, some people have become bold enough to eat and drink outside. There weren't many people in the store, but there was only the proprietress and a cashier working there, so it was really quite overwhelming. Seeing that they were back, she quickly collected the leftovers from an empty table and said to them:
"Hey, the food I cooked for you has been brought upstairs, and I haven't seen you come back. Maybe it's getting cold. But two people came before I burned the incense, saying they were looking for a few people. From the description, I think it looks like you, just Serve them up. If they have eaten the food or the food is cold, just tell us and change it to something hot right away."
The few of them looked at each other, not sure who could come to them, and they were a little nervous.
"Could it be Gao Yuejun's men?" Mu Wan whispered, "They chased them here?"
"Uh... maybe it's Hu Yanyi." Shanhai pinched the bridge of his nose gently, "It's hard to say, but 80% of the time the person who comes is not good."
Shi Wuqi came up to him with a roar, and while helping the landlady clean the table, he babbled to her:
"Oh, you are really good. You are not afraid that people are coming to hunt us down. You dare to tell us where you live? We are people in the world. If there is something wrong with you, your store will be stained with blood. Don't do business."
The landlady's movements froze for a moment, her eyes widened, she looked at him seriously and said:
"No, that's not the case, right? They said they were your friends, so I told them."
"Them?" Dai Luan, who was still lying on Miss Qi's back, emphasized these two words.
"And I don't think they are dangerous, so I said so. What bad things can a blind young man and a big girl do?"
"Lady boss! Serve tea!"
"Hey, right away -"
blind……
Before Shi Wuqi could react, he only heard the jingling of hands and feet behind him. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the two men rushing upstairs as if they were possessed by evil spirits, knocking tables and chairs to the ground regardless of their appearance. Even Aluan broke away from Miss Qi's back and ran upstairs after him.
Who is it?
As soon as Mu Wan opened the door, he saw two people sitting quietly in front of the dinner table. The dishes on the table were not moved. The two men turned their heads towards the door at the same time, but did not speak.
"Jiyue Lord?!"
Mr. Jiyue and the girl stood up at the same time. Mu Wan was a little surprised, because the girl looked very tall when she stood up, only slightly lower than Ji Yuejun. But among women, she is already considered very tall. She was beautiful, with her black hair tied into double spirals and the rest hanging down. She fixed her tied hair with three gold hairpins on the left and right, with broken crystals hanging from the ends of the hairpins. She was dressed very elegantly.
Dai Luan ran over and rushed into the house. Lord Jiyue quickly stretched out his arms and bent slightly, preparing to greet her.
Then she dove into the older girl's arms.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
"……Thanks?"
Her voice is also very nice.
Lord Jiyue's arms froze in mid-air.
At this time, Shi Wuqi caught up. As soon as he entered the house, he saw a scene in which the relationship was so complicated that it was difficult to describe. Then, he glanced at Lord Jiyue again.
"...How about I give you a hug?"
"..."
Mu Wan's eyes became even weirder.
Shanhai remained silent and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Lord Jiyue was still wearing a black gauze blindfold. She only heard his footsteps but not his words, so she asked in his direction:
"You didn't even say you missed me?"
"What did I miss you for? You really are, there are girls everywhere."
Four big characters appeared in Shi Wuqi's mind, who didn't know the truth.
——Your circle is really chaotic.
"What are you talking about? It's rude," Jiyue-kun scolded, shaking his sleeves, "Let me introduce you, this is my colleague—Kizen Yanlai Hazuki-kun."
They hurriedly bowed and saluted. When they looked up at her again, they noticed that in the pair of dark brown pupils, there was indeed a crescent and bright crescent moon in each.
"excuse me……"
"It's okay." Ye Yuejun was very polite, "He may let me sit here and persuade me to use chopsticks. But I think I haven't seen you yet, let alone broke into the residence privately, it's not appropriate..."
Shanhai glared at him fiercely. Lord Jiyue seemed to have expected it and said quickly:
"It's not appropriate for a girl to be hungry. Look, didn't I even use my chopsticks?"
"Because you have no hands."
"...It was a personal attack."
After being noisy for a long time, several people finally sat down. Shi Wuqi remembered that they were friends with Lord Jiyue. After taking a few bites of the food, Mr. Jiyue muttered, "I want to eat the meatballs over there."
"You think about it." Shan Hai ignored him.
"You were not like this before, you have changed."
"You're talking about ten years ago. I didn't know until ten years ago that Liu Dao Impermanence can't starve to death without eating." He turned his head again and said to Ye Yuejun, "Ah, did you pick up the food from far away?"
She quickly said: "It's okay."
"You treat people differently and you discriminate on the basis of gender."
Shan Hai rolled his eyes again: "I haven't asked you yet, how did you find us."
"Miss Liangqiu gave me a token."
Shanhai Wuqi and Dai Luan looked at Mu Wan and then at Jiyue Lord at the same time.
"...Things are not what you think," she tried to explain, "but, we were in the northeast of the city during the day, why did you come to the hotel?"
"Usually we can only judge the approximate direction... Ye Yuejun said that the smell closest to and strongest with the hairband is this house, so we came in and waited for you."
Rin Shanhai still ignored him, but his eyes stayed on Ye Yuejun opposite him for a while longer. Then, he asked in his usual polite tone:
"I've heard about Lord Ye Yue for a long time. We heard at that time that you took over the case in Huansha City?"
"Ah, that's right." Ye Yuejun smiled softly, "It took a while. It was originally done by him, but he was assigned other tasks."
Dai Luan was slicing rice when he suddenly put down the bowl with rice grains still on his face. She asked somewhat eagerly:
"Then, sister, have you found out anything? Who is it that drove away the little fox He Shen and turned the civet cat into someone other than Yuan Pei?"
Ye Yuejun picked up a few vegetarian dishes at random, and put down his chopsticks as he wondered if he was full. She raised a finger to her mouth, lost in fleeting memories.
"That thing was done by a monster. Ordinary humans and ordinary little monsters cannot travel through the six spiritual veins, but that monster is different. He is very strong. The power when passing through the spiritual veins opened its mouth... It was not The place where the spiritual vein should appear was connected to the Six Paths, and the God of Wo mistakenly entered the Hungry Ghost Path. Fortunately, nothing happened. The monster didn't seem to mean to embarrass them, but he was afraid that the two little shikigami would complain. I sealed them on the way."
"It didn't kill you, but it's very humane... But what kind of monster is it?"
"To tell you the truth, we are still on the way to hunt him. At the moment, we only know that he is a monster transformed from a weasel."
In an instant, the dinner table fell silent, and even their chopsticks froze in the air.
Especially Shi Wuqi.
"This, I..."
"I smell your scent," she sighed, "but it's not a good time to alert the enemy now. He probably doesn't know yet, we are tracking him."
"...He might know."
"It doesn't matter. Now is not the time."
When it comes to work matters, Ye Yuejun's attitude is much more cautious. Rather, she has always been so serious. Thinking about it, the only ones who are suspected of neglecting their duties are probably guys like Mr. Jiyue.
"So why did Lord Jiyue come... to lead the way?"
"Don't think that I am so leisurely." The nominee leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair. His posture was completely different from what he said. "I am also very busy. I just dropped in with her for this mission." .”
Mu Wan sneered, do you still have a mission?
Lord Jiyue suddenly sat forward and his tone became serious:
"Don't forget, if I can come to you, I will naturally find something."
"Well……"
Others also turned their heads and listened carefully to what they were saying.
"I have been investigating some things about his life. The monster Ye Yuejun mentioned has some connection with him. What I can tell you is very limited at the moment. But other than that, we went here together, and it is also related to the local murder case. .”
Murder case...?
Shanhai also put down his chopsticks and frowned.
"You mean, Taki Mansion?"
"Yes."
Shi Wuqi took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said, "Well, I do suspect that this matter may have something to do with an Onmyoji..."
"A monster did it."
"……Huh?"
Shi Wuqi immediately looked at Ye Yuejun. Her tone was light but very determined.
"It's a monster." Lord Jiyue nodded in agreement, "But to be precise, it's a half-demon."
Half demon?
