"Where is my body? It's clearly right here..."

Wang Bin stared at a certain spot on the courtyard wall. His soul seemed vague and his expression was a little dazed. He murmured and fell into a state of irritability for no apparent reason.

"My body is missing! Who stole my body?! How can I bury it without a body?!"

Seeing that he was still chattering, Jiang Xuxu was annoyed by his noise and was about to manually shut him up, but the system was one step faster than her, flew out, and slapped his soul hard with its tail.

[Shut up! You're disturbing me! ]

Chu Beihe looked at the alligator turtle that suddenly appeared. In his memory, there was indeed a system turtle beside Jiang Xuxu, but that turtle didn't seem to look like this.

Seeing Chu Beihe's gaze sweeping over, Jiang Xuxu seemed to know what he was thinking and took the initiative to introduce, "Gui Xiaoxu, this is the new host it chose by itself."

Gui Xiaoxu had just finished drawing a ghost, and when he heard Jiang Xuxu introducing it, he immediately floated in front of Chu Beihe as a black mist, posing the most perfect angle of his host body, while complaining to Jiang Xuxu,

[If I had known that he was actually a dragon vein, I would not have said that I wanted him to be my host. No wonder his luck is so hard to get. ]

Jiang Xuxu was used to the system communicating only with him, so he didn't respond. However, Chu Beihe spoke up and looked at Gui Xiaoxu.

"You wanted me to be your host?"

When these words were spoken, Jiang Xuxu and Gui Xiaoxu were both stunned.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chu Beihe.

"Can you hear it talking?"

Jiaotu, who was standing by, was confused when he heard this. "Who spoke? Was it this ghost?"

Chu Beihe recollected briefly and remembered that the voice of the system beside Jiang Xuxu was only heard by her.

Even in the past, he had never heard the voice of the system.

But after a little thought, Chu Beihe understood the reason.

"Your system is a product of another world, so I can't hear its sound."

As a dragon vein, he can hear the sounds of all things as long as he wants.

But the system itself is not of this world.

"The reason I can hear it now is probably because... you gave him a name."

Once everything in the world has its own name, it will have its own label in the world and from then on have its own belonging in this world.

Thus completely integrating into the new world.

And obviously, because of this name, this system born in response to the will of heaven has found a new master.

Chu Beihe looked deeply at Jiang Xuxu with his dark eyes.

As far as he knew, she was the second person who could snatch someone away from Tiandao.

Jiang Xuxu didn't expect it to be because of this reason, but when she named the system, she also hoped that it would regard this place as a home.

The result now is very good.

Wang Bin, who was slapped by the system, didn't dare to yell anymore. Jiang Xuxu originally wanted to ask him if he remembered what he had encountered before his death, but seeing that he couldn't say anything, he rolled him into a zongzi and handed it to Wang Tao.

"He can no longer pose any threat to you, but his body is missing and will probably never be found. As a relative, you can apply for a declaration of death on his behalf.

If you are worried that your family members cannot accept it, you can take it back temporarily. I will ask Brother Jieyin to take him to the underworld later."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao's hand, which was about to take the zongzi, paused slightly and quickly retracted it.

"This, just help me deal with it, I don't want to take it back."

He said with a bitter look on his face, "If possible, can the police just declare him dead? I think... it's not appropriate."

After all, there was no body, and if he went to apply, he could imagine how his father and stepmother would react when they found out.

They suspected that he had killed Wang Bin, and they didn't believe that Wang Bin was dead. They thought that he was cursing his brother to die...

They always assume the worst of him.

Wang Tao was already tired and he didn't want to deal with those two people anymore.

As for Wang Bin, he wanted to harm himself even as a ghost, so why should he help him see his family for the last time?

Call him selfish or cold-blooded, he just doesn't want to have anything to do with Wang Bin, or even that family anymore.

Jiang Xuxu was not surprised to hear what Wang Tao said, and did not even say a word of advice that death is the greatest thing. He took the rice dumplings and put them away, and only said to Wang Tao,

"That requires a separate internal procedure, and you have to pay extra."

Hearing this, Wang Tao finally smiled for the first time since last night, "Okay."

After handing Wang Bin over to the colleague in charge of the funeral, Jiang Xuxu went through the death procedures for Wang Bin within the Security Bureau. The Security Bureau will then synchronize the news to the police, who will then notify the family.

After watching her finish the job, Jiaotu asked her,

"Xu Xu, you just said that there is a high probability that his body will never be found. What do you mean?"

They originally came here to look for the body today, but now they say they can’t find it. Does that mean they don’t need to look for it anymore?

Jiang Xuxu simply explained,

"Ghosts, especially new ghosts, have a strong sense of where their own bodies are, so some ghosts will follow their senses and return to their bodies seven days after death, or see their relatives for the last time. People call this the first seven days."

She paused as she spoke, and looked towards the courtyard wall where Wang Bin had just been, her voice slightly lowered.

“But just now, Wang Bin was standing at the place where he died but couldn’t sense the location of his body. The body must be gone.”

If the body is still there, even if it is turned into pieces and filled in the concrete floor, the soul will be able to sense it.

But in Wang Bin's case, the body was definitely not simply missing, but completely vanished.

Either his body was taken into some kind of isolated space similar to the ghost realm, or... he was eaten.

And there is not even a slag left.

Although there is no evidence, Jiang Xuxu intuitively feels that it is the latter.

Anyone who can do this is most likely a monster.

Thinking of this, she turned her gaze back to the Demon Academy inside the wall.

The place where the body disappeared was too special, which forced Jiang Xuxu to guess the worst.

Jiaotu listened to her words and followed her gaze. He seemed to have realized something belatedly and his face changed slightly.

"Xu Xu, you are not thinking..."

Jiang Xuxu pursed her lips and nodded slowly.

The demon that ate Wang Bin's corpse and contaminated his ghost energy with filthy things most likely... happened in this demon academy.

"The holiday is over. Looks like we have to report back to the academy early."

Jiang Xuxu said this and suddenly looked at Chu Beihe again.

If she and Jiaotu both go back to the academy for classes, then...what will Chu Beihe do?

She always felt that he would not stay in the yard alone.

Chu Beihe met her gaze, as if he had guessed her thoughts, and said calmly,

"Since the clue is in the academy, I will go into the academy with you."

He was no longer opposed to acting together with Jiang Xuxu.

When Jiang Xuxu and Jiaotu heard his words, their eyes lit up at the same time.

Chu Beihe, does this mean he wants to go to school with them? !

Ah this...

What's the matter with the expectation?
