“Even though the Yin Qi is not as strong during the day, we still have to be careful . If something happens, you will have to follow everything I say . Do you understand?” Ye Shaoyang reminded Xie Yuqing, as they entered dormitory four . “Okay,” Xie Yuqing replied unhappily . Then, she nervously pulled out her gun and raised it up, pointing toward the ceiling .


“What are you doing?” Ye Shaoyang asked, as he stopped and looked at her, “You think that can kill spirits?”


“What else can I use? If I don’t have anything, I’ll feel very insecure,” Xie Yuqing complained . She felt wronged . Ye Shaoyang thought for a while and took out a consecrated peach wood sword . Then, he handed it to her and said, “If you see anything, just strike it with this . ”


“I hope I don’t have to use it,” Xie Yuqing mumbled .


Ye Shaoyang grasped a date wood sword and walked in front . Meanwhile, Xie Yuqing closely followed him with a torchlight . Without any stops or delays, the pair headed straight to the fourth floor . When they arrived on the floor, they noticed that the door of room 404 was closed, and it was dead silent . Xie Yuqing recalled the terrifying experience that had occurred the previous night . She swallowed her saliva and asked in a pleading tone, “Why don’t you go in first?” Ye Shaoyang smiled at her and pushed open the door . Then, he walked into the room .


The room was empty; there was not a soul around .


Like the previous night, Ye Shaoyang took out his eight-trigram mirror and rested it on the doorframe . This action prevented any specters from entering the room . Xie Yuqing felt relieved and walked into the room . She took out her camera and started to take photos of the area . She used her flashlight and inspected the footprints left on the thick layer of dust . After she investigated for a while, she concluded, “I can only find Liao Qingqing’s footprints and the footprints you and I left last night . ”


“No sh*t . The murderer wasn’t human, so how could it have left footprints?” Ye Shaoyang said .


Next, Xie Yuqing walked to the window and checked it with her flashlight . There was a nail that stuck out from the frame, and there was a piece of pink cloth hooked onto it . She took some photos of it and proceeded to remove it from the nail . She examined it and said, “This came from Laio Qingqing’s dress . This is an indication that she jumped from this window . ”


Then, Ye Shaoyang retorted, “Can you cut the crap . If she didn’t jump off from here, why would you even be here?”


Xie Yuqing gave him a stare and said, “This is procedure!”


Ye Shaoyang laughed and scoffed, “What procedure . Don’t take me for a fool; the proper procedure would need at least two officers at the scene . Also, when you picked up the piece of cloth, you didn’t even have gloves on . ”


Xie Yuqing sighed and replied, “To tell you the truth, the police department already knew it was something supernatural when they saw the video footage from the cameras . The videos showed Liao Qingqing flying into the second floor window, and no one else had entered . A few hours later, she jumped and became a dried corpse . I’m only here to go through the formalities . To really solve this case, we can’t just use traditional investigatory methods . ”


Ye Shaoyang asked, “You guys have non-traditional methods too?”


“There is a consultant in our department . They say that he is pretty good, but since I don’t believe in ghosts, I’ve never dealt with that guy . ”


This slightly surprised Ye Shaoyang and he asked, “Are you talking about Old Guo?”


Xie Yuqing thought for a second and replied, “I don’t know his surname, but I’ve heard he’s in the funeral business . Do you know this person?”


“He is my senior brother,” Ye Shaoyang answered . It seems like Old Guo is making a pretty good living, becoming a consultant of the police department .


“Oh, he is your senior brother?” Xie Yuqing laughed and said, “If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have asked you to come . ”


Ye Shaoyang shrugged his shoulders and said, “Ask him then, see if he dares to come into this place . ”


Xie Yuqing laughed sarcastically and said, “Stop bluffing . If he is not more powerful than you, why is he your senior?”


“Maoshan Sect has inner and outer disciples . My senior brother is an outer disciple, while I’m an inner one . There are many outer disciples, but I’m the only inner disciple of Maoshan Sect,” Ye Shaoyang looked at her proudly; he conveniently left out his other senior brother, Dao Feng .


As Xie Yuqing busied herself with taking pictures, Ye Shaoyang was also doing some investigation of his own . He noticed that there was no spirit Qi or evil Qi . This puzzled him greatly . Is this not the crime scene? Did she come to this room after someone else killed her? That was not possible . As such, there was only one explanation left—a very powerful specter that could conceal its evil Qi and not leave any traces . If that was the case, it could be very troubling for Ye Shaoyang .


“I’m done here, little trickster . Let’s go,” Xie Yuqing said happily . Then, she tapped his shoulder, “This sister will bring you to have some big meat buns . ”


“Call me a trickster again, and I’ll really eat your big meat buns,” Ye Shaoyang said with annoyance .


“You little!” Xie Yuqing tried to give him quick kick, but Ye Shaoyang dodged it .


Right at that moment, a small head peeped into the room through the door . Xie Yuqing screamed in fear and quickly hid behind Ye Shaoyang . Upon closer examination, they saw that it was a boy around four to five years old . He walked slowly and hesitantly entered the room . He was chubby and was wearing a little red stomacher . He had two large, lifeless eyes and a small mouth . “That’s a … . ” This sight stunned Xie Yuqing . How could a kid have wandered into this abandoned building? She held Ye Shaoyang’s arm tightly, as she mumbled, “Where did this kid come from? Is he a ghost or a human?”


“Be quiet!”


Ye Shaoyang was unable to sense any human Qi from the kid that stood in front of them . He began to panic . He’s definitely not human, but if he was a spirit, demon, or specter, how did he just wander into the room and not trigger the eight-trigram mirror? That is not possible unless he has more than a thousand years of cultivation . Ye Shaoyang felt that it was impossible to randomly encounter a thousand year old supreme spirit .


The boy did not seem hostile, and he stopped in front of Xie Yuqing . He looked at her curiously . Then, he reached out to grab her hand and said with a sweet and naive voice, “Come play with me big sister . ”


Xie Yuqing feared for her life, so she cried and pleaded to Ye Shaoyang, “What … what am I suppose to do?”


“Big sister, come, I have something that I want to show you … . ” Unable to resist the pull from the boy, he forcefully dragged Xie Yuqing along with him . When he saw this, Ye Shaoyang quickly rushed forward to block the boy and asked, “Why don’t I come play with you instead?”


The little boy slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Shaoyang; his eyes suddenly glowed red . Then, with a deep and haunting voice, he replied, “Move aside!”


“But I really want to play with you,” Ye Shaoyang said, as he abruptly reached out to strike the boy’s right shoulder . Before the boy even walked close to them, Ye Shaoyang had already prepared for the worse, so he had already cut his finger to draw a Yin Yang symbol on his palm . This strike would probably have killed a common spirit or demon . However, this palm only pushed the little boy back . This strike had forced the little boy to let go fo Xie Yuqing . Then, the boy held onto the region that Ye Shaoyang had struck and started to cry . But the cries quickly turned into strange laughs . The two of them became horrified when they saw a visible rate of necrosis that started from his wounded areas . Soon, a large area of bloody flesh was revealed .


“My god … ” Xie Yuqing mumbled, as she sat on the floor .


The boy continued to reveal its gruesome form directly before them . His skin had all rotted away, while his flesh had become an extensive mess . Not satisfied with his appearance, the boy vigorously shook his head . Then, with the sounds of bones cracking, the top of his head fractured into pieces and revealed some of the internal white matter . It did not look like brains . Ye Shaoyang carefully observed it and saw that it was … cotton?
