After thinking for a moment, Zhang Chen relayed the message again:
"So, the real Xu Jinyi is dead. How did she die, and why are you taking her place?"
The rabbit demon was still wiping away her tears:
"She didn't want to stay in China; she wanted to study abroad... so she ran away from home without permission. She didn't have a driver's license but drove anyway. She saw a dog on the road and tried to run it over, and then..."
"That dog, it must be a monster, crashed the car and killed Xu Jinyi."
"The dog demon didn't harm me. Instead, it made me refine Xu Jinyi's soul. After refining the soul, the corpse will also dissipate, leaving no evidence."
"I... I was thinking, could I go to school in Xu Jinyi's place... So after transforming into human form, I pretended to faint in the car, waiting for someone to come..."
What a bizarre way to die, what a bizarre reason.
Why can't he just run into a monster on the street? What's the odds of him actually bumping into one?
"You took such a big risk just because you wanted to go to school?"
"Hmm..." The rabbit demon lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
"If I'm not mistaken, you chose to impersonate her to avoid the company's investigation after transforming into human form, but you didn't expect that they would still be able to trace it back to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, the rabbit demon slammed its head on the floor with a thud, its voice filled with sorrow.
"Sister Sanhua, my cultivation hasn't improved for a hundred years. If I can't transform into human form soon, I'll never see that lord again... I have to see him. I'm just an ordinary rabbit, and I should have been eaten three hundred years ago..."
"It was that great man who saved my life, who awakened my intelligence, and who told me he would return in three hundred years. I must repay him... Sister Sanhua, please plead with my master. If I can live to see that great man, I am willing to become a demon slave..."
Zhang Chen remained silent.
How could he... so easily allow monsters to become spirits? It's not like he'd do something like that.
He tried turning on "self-control" and experienced it firsthand.
The next moment, sensing the familiar demonic power within the rabbit demon's body, Zhang Chen couldn't help but slap his forehead and curse:
"Holy crap..."
Was it his own doing that caused this? Couldn't I have been less charitable three hundred years ago?
"squeak?"
At this moment, the youngest rat, who had heard the swear words, pushed up its glasses in confusion. Seeing that Zhang Chen was still thinking, it relayed Zhang Chen's earlier words, "Fuck!"
Suddenly, the rabbit demon inside the matchmaking agency heard these words and trembled all over, but still bowed her head and kowtowed, her eyes brimming with tears, saying:
"Is that so...? I accept. I'll do whatever you want with me, little master. This little demon is useless, possessing only this little bit of beauty. As long as I can survive, I'm willing to do anything..."
The sound came out, and Zhang Chen was dumbfounded. He stared speechlessly at the little mouse below, the two of them staring at each other.
"Squeak..." The little mouse gave him the middle finger, meaning, even though you're my boss, I still think you're shameless.
Zhang Chenhong felt a surge of warmth and a desire to draw back the little mouse's yang energy, for spreading rumors and then turning around and despising him.
Never mind, children speak without thinking.
"Send a message again, asking her, since she was already living in a human city before she took human form, why didn't she register with the company? Was it premeditated?"
The news spread.
The rabbit demon's face was deathly pale; it simply kept kowtowing without uttering a word.
"Not going to talk?"
"I'm sorry, but this is the one thing I cannot say. I harbor that person's secret within me. Humans are often unable to distinguish between good and evil, and I cannot harm that person..."
The secret...maybe it's because this rabbit demon sucked his blood.
But isn't this rabbit too stupid? It's like it's trying to hide something obvious. If it says that, everyone will know that she has a treasure inside her body.
Well, at least I've kept his secret for three hundred years.
"Youngest brother, pass on a message to her: I will find out the truth of this matter and then give her an answer."
After the words were spoken, the rabbit demon cried in the courtyard for half an hour.
Zhang Chen couldn't stand the crying; it was too creepy. So he went outside and played rock-paper-scissors with the mice to distract himself.
“Youngest brother, you have a lot of rat brothers in the city, right? There might be some at the scene. Go and ask around, and find out the truth about this for me.”
"Especially that dog demon, it's of utmost importance."
"Squeak! It's illegal to use child labor!" the mouse squeaked.
“What kind of child laborer are you? That’s it, I’ll just leave it to you to do. Otherwise, I’ll buy you a set of Huanggang Little Champion’s books later.”
"Squeak..." The little mouse slumped down and was forced to agree.
"Classmate..." The rabbit demon finished crying, disguised herself as Xu Jinyi again, and came out, just in time to bump into Zhang Chen teasing a mouse, and was stunned.
Have we met before?
"Yeah, we're in the same class." Zhang Chen kicked the mouse away. "What are you doing at a matchmaking agency?"
"I... came to visit my former master, who helped me, but I didn't expect him to have passed away..."
"What has your master ever done for you?" Zhang Chen asked curiously, wanting to learn about another side of his master from the other person.
The rabbit demon shook its head. "Sorry, I can't disclose that."
After saying that, the rabbit demon quickly left.
As she reached a corner, she leaned back and glanced at Zhang Chen, who was still playing with the mouse.
She clutched her chest, something about to burst forth.
"It does look like it..."
Chapter 23 No Spirits Allowed After the Founding of the People's Republic of China!
With nothing to do on the afternoon of the first day of school, Zhang Chen spent his time at a matchmaking agency.
Earning a little over a hundred yuan is far less than the gold coins you get from defeating Shen Nianxi.
Zhang Chen had considered asking Tu Shan Han Su for gold coins, but Miss Fox said that she had used all her savings to research contraception and didn't have a penny on her.
That's fine, he won't have the money to raise the child anyway, so contraception is definitely important.
Meanwhile, they also found clues about the dog demon. The rats were very efficient and quickly located several rats at the scene.
Although rats are not very intelligent, they can still describe where a dog went or describe a car accident scene without any problems.
However, the dog demon's trail... all pointed to a doctor who worked at Nanjing University Affiliated Hospital.
Sure enough, since the cat demons in Ning'an were mostly under Bai Nuoyan's jurisdiction, it was reasonable for the dog demons to be under Li Yinuo's jurisdiction as well; he hadn't guessed wrong.
That dog demon was also at Nanjing University, and was even a top-notch surgeon.
The rabbit demon wasn't lying, and since the rabbit demon was related to him by blood, he had no choice but to intervene.
He had already figured out how to frame someone for this... Last time he framed Bai Nuoyan, this time he'll frame Li Yinuo.
The current problem is, where is Shen Nianxi stuck? Is she still stuck on the rabbit demon part? What is she investigating?
Is it a crime for Xu Jinyi to be hit by a dog and then killed by the dog demon? Is it a crime for the rabbit demon to refine the soul of the dead?
I asked Sanhua, but she didn't know either. Maybe only Shen Nianxi can determine it.
Besides, Tu Shan Han Su definitely knows something; that sly fox would come to help him willingly...
Zhang Chen checked his phone and realized that Tu Shan Han Su wouldn't be back that night, meaning he wouldn't get a free dinner.
"You guys stay here, I'm going out for dinner," Zhang Chen said, turning to the diligent cat and mouse.
"Meow~"
"squeak!"
"Wang~"
"?"
A strange barking sound came from the doorway. Zhang Chen and the cat and mice all looked towards the door. The little dog that had gone to Li Yinuo that morning had slipped back.
Wait... something seems different. Let me use a cheat to scan it.
[List of Yokai Included]
[Previous female demon character already included: Wolf Demon (Li Yinuo)]
Seeing the scan results almost made Zhang Chen break out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, why didn't you just stay a good literary girl? Why did you turn into a dog and come looking for him?
Li Yinuo isn't going to imitate Bai Nuoyan, is he? He can't possibly bathe both the cat and the dog at the same time.
Cats like to play with cat toys, and dogs like to eat big bone sticks...that seems reasonable.
"Uh..." Zhang Chen pretended not to notice, "Didn't you leave with Li Yinuo? Why did you come back to find me?"
"Woof~" The puppy wagged its tail and came to him, tugging at his trouser leg. Zhang Chen understood what it was saying.
It means "I want a hug".
With patience, Zhang Chen picked up 'Li Yinuo'.
I've been carried in a princess carry by beautiful girls twice in my life: once by a cat, and once by a dog.
I laughed in exasperation.
As soon as I picked her up, the wolf demon started slurping its tongue in an adorable way.
If it were a normal dog, Zhang Chen would happily interact with it.
But at this moment, Zhang Chen only felt... that the elegant and quiet beautiful girl from earlier in the day was hugging his neck and constantly bothering him.
"Hey... licking my face is fine, but don't lick my lips." Zhang Chen helplessly pushed the dog's head away.
"Waaah..."
Instantly, the puppy looked at him with teary eyes, its fluffy tail drooping down.
"..."
Zhang Chen was embarrassed. "Fine, you can lick it then."
