Uncle Jiu's driving skills were quite good.
About forty minutes later, we arrived at Qingshi Village.
At the village entrance, Boss Wei was pacing back and forth, looking very nervous.
Seeing us arrive, he waved enthusiastically:
"Daoist Priest Qin, you're finally here!"
The three of us got out of the car.
"Uncle Wei, what's the situation?"
I asked.
Boss Wei looked dejected:
"Early this morning, Old Third went to visit Old Second's family.
He found Old Second's entire family bitten to death.
The three sheep in his sheep pen and the chickens in the coop were also not spared.
The village is in an uproar now.
They're saying, saying it's my grandfather who returned.
Daoist Priest Qin, you... you tell me, is that it or not?"
I didn't answer. Old Mo next to me directly said:
"No need to ask, it's a definite yes!"
Boss Wei looked at Old Mo with some confusion.
I then introduced:
"This is my colleague, he also understands some methods for expelling demons and subjugating ghosts."
"Yes, yes, Daoist Priest Xiao Mo is also very capable.
Last night, he and Qin Ze killed a fox spirit's soul..."
Uncle Jiu added.
The matter of Old Mo and I killing a demon soul last night had spread throughout the village this morning.
Besides knowing my abilities,
They also knew that I wasn't the only one with true skills.
Hearing this, Boss Wei's eyes lit up.
He sized up Old Mo.
He was about my age, with a buzz cut and slightly tanned skin.
From his appearance, one couldn't tell he was also a skilled Daoist priest.
But Boss Wei dared not be negligent.
He quickly clasped his fists:
"Daoist Priest, my apologies."
This kid Old Mo, however, became smug.
He cleared his throat twice:
"This humble one's Daoist name is Yang Ting, you can also call me Son of Light. Arbiter of Fate. Urban Exorcist..."
Hearing this, I felt a massive headache coming on.
This kid's chuunibyou blood was boiling again.
I quickly stopped him:
"Alright, alright.
Uncle Wei, his name is Mo Ting. You can call him whatever you like.
Now hurry and take us to see the bodies!
I need to confirm it with a hundred percent certainty first."
"Yes, yes, alright! Follow me!"
Boss Wei nodded and led us into the village.
Old Mo, however, glanced at me complainingly:
"Brother Qin, why didn't you let me finish!"
I rolled my eyes:
"Your chuunibyou title is so long, who could possibly remember it?"
After speaking, I ignored him.
Old Mo, however, muttered his somewhat chuunibyou title to himself twice more.
He even asked and answered himself if it was long or not...
When we entered the village, we found many people pointing and whispering about Boss Wei.
Especially when we reached Old Second's house.
We found that a cordon had already been set up.
Many villagers were gathered outside.
Government officials were taking statements from the surrounding residents.
The bodies were inside the house, already covered with white cloths.
Even before getting close, I could feel a heavy corpse aura.
At this moment, a police officer walked over.
He said to Boss Wei:
"Wei Hai, after our investigation.
I will now inform you of the investigation results. Please come over..."
Then, Boss Wei was pulled aside.
Old Mo and I, seeing this, perked up our ears and listened from a distance.
When we circulated our internal energy, our hearing became excellent.
So, we only heard the police officer say:
"After our investigation, Wei He and his wife were bitten to death by lynxes, wild beasts from the mountains.
The imprints on their necks were the fatal wounds.
There are lynxes active in the vicinity of your village.
Therefore, we have concluded it was an attack by wild beasts.
We have ruled out foul play.
If you have any objections, we can take the bodies back for a forensic examination.
If not, please sign here!
The remains are yours to dispose of.
Your two younger brothers have already signed."
After speaking, he produced a document and handed it to Boss Wei.
At the same time, Old Third and Old Fourth Wei ran over.
They looked at Boss Wei with innocent expressions.
Boss Wei knew very well that even if those lynxes from the mountain were fierce, they wouldn't dare to come into the village to kill people.
And after killing people, they wouldn't eat the flesh but only suck blood?
But some things were useless to say, and would only make matters worse.
Boss Wei also signed.
After signing, the police officer gathered his team and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he also shared some knowledge about preventing wild animal attacks with the villagers present.
He advised everyone to close their doors and windows tightly at night and not to go out.
They would notify the forestry department, and relevant agencies and units would be sent to capture or shoot the attacking lynxes, assuring the villagers.
The villagers were skeptical.
But since the deceased were not their own family, after some gossiping, the villagers dispersed on their own.
The government officials also left the scene.
After they left, Old Mo and I didn't wait for the Wei family to come over. We directly entered the house to examine the bodies.
Uncle Jiu, seeing us go in, quickly followed.
After entering the house, we went directly to a body.
I pulled back the white cloth.
Lying underneath was Old Second Wei's wife.
She was about 1.5 meters tall, but a bit plump.
However, at this moment, the middle-aged woman looked like she had lost a full size.
Her naturally round face had now sunken in.
Her entire body was pale and colorless, with patches of purplish-black corpse spots appearing under her skin, and a strong corpse aura emanating from her.
Moreover, on the left side of her neck, there were two distinct bite marks and indentations.
Blood had flowed down her neck from those two bite holes.
I gently flipped open her eyelids. She was already dead, yet a cluster of red blood vessels had formed in the center of her pupils.
I flipped open her lips and found that her canine teeth had grown by about one centimeter.
It was evident that this female corpse was undergoing a transformation.
If left unchecked, within three days at most, she would become a walking corpse, only capable of biting and sucking blood...
