Chapter 268The Demon Undead 1

Ye Shaoyang took out some copper beads and threw them at the creature . It growled instantly, as the spots struck by the beads boiled with white foam . The creature shook in pain, but this only angered the creature . It roared, as it leaped toward Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang avoided it with a swift move, and he gripped the creature by its hair . He pulled hard, and the creature fell backward . Before the creature could get up, Ye Shaoyang pinned it onto the floor by its neck with his knee . With his other hand, he quickly reached out for a talisman paper and stuck it onto the creatures head . Then, he dipped his fingers with red ink and drew onto the talisman paper .

With the power of Yin and Yang, absorb the evil power within!

As soon as he finished chanting, a trail of black Qi rose from the creatures skin . The black Qi streamed upward steadily until the talisman paper absorbed it all .

The creature struggled for a little while longer, as it weakened little by little . Before long, it laid motionless on the floor .

All done? Xie Yuqing walked forward to get a closer look at the creature, Is this an undead?

Kinda . A demon undead . Its a kind of undead . Ye Shaoyang said . He plucked a handful of white fur from the creature and sniffed it with a disgusted frown . He pointed at the lower body of the creature, His legs must have been eaten by some kind of devil . Demon Qi invaded his body, and it mixed with the hateful Qi inside him . Since the mix of Qi could not escape, it turned him into a demon undead .

A demon? Xie Yuqing frowned, Where did it come from?

How would I know . Ye Shaoyang stood up and told Xie Yuqing to take care of the body . Xie Yuqing quickly instructed her men to do the job . Ye Shaoyang observe the room a little further, Was this room locked all this time?

A policeman answered, Yes, it was . The neighbors who reported this incident saw it through the window and reported to us . n.o.body dared to enter the room since there was such a scary creature inside . We need to thank you for settling the problem for us, Mister Ye .

Ye Shaoyang came forward to the room door . There was an air window on the door . It was quite wide like a gla.s.s window in a hospital ward . Ye Shaoyang pointed at the window, Since the door is locked, the murderer must have entered the room through this .

Xie Yuqing was taken aback, Isnt there a window? Why wouldnt it enter through the window?

Ye Shaoyang said, The window bar was not wide enough for a person to enter; this would be the only way .

A person? Didnt you say it was a devil? Xie Yuqing asked .

The white fur was created by demon Qi the murderer left behind . Theres a trail of human Qi in it . So, the murderer is also a demon undead, and it is much more powerful than this one .

As he was speaking, Ye Shaoyang removed a nail from the air window . There was a piece of flesh attached to it . Ye Shaoyang observed the piece of flesh, This must belong to the murderer .

Xie Yuqing approached him, Can we get this tested at the lab?

Sure, if you think that will be helpful .

Xie Yuqing ordered a policeman to carefully store away the piece of evidence before she continued asking, Why does a demon undead kill? Where does it go after killing a person?

It kills to eat . A demon undead eats flesh and drinks blood for cultivation . I dont know where it will go after killing a person . Shouldnt you find out about that? Are you depending on me for everything? You are asking me everything .

Xie Yuqing replied, Of course, I would depend on you . You are the Heavenly Master here . Who else should I depend on if not you?

Ye Shaoyang was unhappy, If I am the Heavenly Master, why do you treat me like a little slave?

Xie Yuqing sneered, Stop your complaining and give me a solution . Ill treat you with a big meat bun after the job is done .

Ye Shaoyang was at a lost for words . Go get me some lime powder . At least a few hundred kilograms .

Xie Yuqing quickly made some phone calls to make the arrangements . They did not wait long . The police force was quite efficient . Within half an hour, they delivered three large sacks of lime powder . Ye Shaoyang instructed them, as they covered the bedroom floor with lime powder .

After ten minutes, the lime powder reacted . Part of it turned black, revealing foot and handprints on the floor . It was a trail that came from the door into and exiting the house .

The footprints suggested that the creature was barefooted and crawled on the floor . Xie Yuqing observed the footprint, These feet are small in size, it must belong to a woman .

Ye Shaoyang nodded, Now you have some clues, so lets investigate .

Xie Yuqing thought for a while, Can we use the same method to find out where it went? Well pour lime powder on the road and follow the trail .

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, This room was not well ventilated, and sunlight cant get through, so the demon Qi was preserved . The demon Qi would have dispersed outside the house a long time ago, so this wouldnt work .

Hmmm How should we find out then? This area has no CCTV installed at all . Besides, n.o.body discovered any tracks left by the murderer .

Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he answered, The demon undead came here to kill, so its hiding place must be nearby . This place is a residential area . It is possible that it is hiding inside a persons home, and it is very likely that the person does not even know this creature is a demon undead .

Xie Yuqing was surprised to hear this, Theres no way to tell from the appearance of the creature?

Demon undead depends on corpse Qi, so they fear sunlight . As long as it stays indoor, theres no way to know . However, a demon undead would start their cultivation by feasting on animals, up to a certain stage where the flesh and blood of animals cannot satisfy its need anymore . Then, they will start eating human flesh . Maybe you can start your investigation in this direction .

Xie Yuqings eyes brightened up, Animals, including farm animals like ducks or pigs? The demon undead wouldnt go out to buy it, so it must be stealing the animals . There are many families here that rear animals in their house compound . I should find out whose animals have been stolen before, then we can narrow down our search area .

Ye Shaoyang nodded . In fact, he was quite impressed by Xie Yuqing . She was indeed a talented police . Ye Shaoyang only gave her a little information, and she was quick enough to lay out a brilliant plan .

It was getting late when they finally came out of the alley . Xie Yuqing invited him for a simple dinner before going back to town . They searched around and managed to find a dumpling stall . So, they ordered some beer and dumplings as they ate and talked .

The monk is getting much better now . He is able to get down from his bed and walk now . You should visit him sometime . Xie Yuqing said, Also, w.a.n.g Ting has gone back to Xichuan .

Ye Shaoyang nodded quietly, as he continued eating .

Xie Yuqing looked at him with a smile, I can see you are doing better now too . You took this better than I expected .

Ye Shaoyang knew exactly what she meant, I have been doing this job for such a long time . Ive seen a lot of deaths . Besides, Tan Xiaohui didnt really die .

Xie Yuqing nodded, Yup, sometimes I feel happy for her when I think of this . She finally gets the chance to become a human again . Sadly, we wont be there to witness it .

Then we should just remember her for the good things . Ye Shaoyang said with a smile, This dumpling tastes good . Should we order another bowl?

Another bowl was soon delivered to them . Just as Ye Shaoyang was about to feast on it, a policeman came rus.h.i.+ng in and said to Xie Yuqing, We found something . Its an old woman .

An old woman . Ye Shaoyang and Xie Yuqing stared at each other in surprise .
