Yokai Office

"Brain dead?" Liu Huo took a deep breath when he heard the word, "It's all right, how could it be like this?"

Fu Shenglin shook his head, "I've confirmed it, and all the functions of my body are fine. It's just that I can't sleep at night when I'm resting normally."

"Brain death, and then, total death."

Zong Ci narrowed his eyes, "How many people died?"

"Thirteen. And this number will increase at any time." Fu Shenglin was very serious.

At first, this matter was not in his hands.Later, after the Medical Bureau found out that the matter was serious, the subordinate leaders reported it to the Central Committee.

However, this time has been wasted a lot.So the number of deaths will increase day by day.

The leader immediately noticed something was wrong, and immediately notified the Monster Bureau.By the way, Fu Shenglin who heard the news also came to inform Zong Ci.

"Zong Ci, are you going to the Monster Bureau?" Shen Xi asked decisively.

"Ah."

Sudden brain death, combined with total death.With so many victims, I'm afraid the perpetrators have already started to act.

If it is not stopped in time, I am afraid that the situation will continue to deteriorate.

"Take my car and park outside!" Fu Shenglin responded.

The other three objected, picked up their belongings, and followed them out.

***

The four of them came to the Monster Bureau together.

It was originally off-duty time, but there were quite a few people standing in the director's office.

"Everyone is here..." Shen Xi was startled when he saw so many people.

"We originally planned to have a dinner together." Bi Fang said truthfully, "In the end, a video call made all of us stay."

Fenghuang then said, "I have sent Anyin and Ruyi to several hospitals for checkups, and are waiting for the results."

Zong Ci understood and nodded.

Shen Xi tilted his head, looked at Liuhuo and Fu Chenglin's puzzled looks on the outermost side, and couldn't help pulling Zongci's clothes.

"Ok?"

"Zongci, what are you waiting for?" Shen Xi was also confused.

Hearing this, Yingzhao took the initiative to explain, "Every function of the body is normal, but suddenly fell into brain death and completely unconscious. There is only one possibility."

"What?" Liu Huo and Fu Chenglin asked in unison.

"The soul leaves the body."

When Shen Xi heard these four words, his eyes flickered slightly.

"And if a person's soul does not return to the body for a long time, the final result will only be complete death." Zong Ci looked at him and said seriously.

Shen Xi said, "I see."

As soon as the voice fell, a phone call came in.Fenghuang signaled everyone to be quiet, and picked up the phone casually.

"Hey."

The eyes of everyone present shifted to Fenghuang in an instant.

I saw Fenghuang sitting on the seat, the solemnity between his brows and eyes became more and more serious.Almost coincidentally, everyone had guesses in their hearts.

"Okay, I know."

When Fenghuang hung up the phone, he saw everyone's expressions and said directly, "He has confirmed the call from An Yin. The 'brain-dead' victims who are still lying on the hospital bed are all in the state of out-of-body souls. "

"If you don't seize the time, I'm afraid you will die too." Chongming asserted.

Fu Chenglin, who was standing at the end, frowned when he heard this.

Again.

Even as the head of the Inspectorate, he is the most powerless at this time.

"Fu Ju, don't worry, we will find a solution." Shen Xi happened to catch a glimpse of his expression, and turned her head to comfort him in a low voice.

Fu Chenglin sighed, nodded and said nothing.

When Zongci heard his lover's words, the coldness in his eyes disappeared slightly, revealing a little warmth.He said to his friend, "Old Fu, don't get distracted, we still need your cooperation for some things."

After all, Fu Chenglin was the head of the bureau, so he quickly suppressed the feeling of powerlessness in his heart, "Yes, I understand."

"I'll ask Cui Yu first." Zong Ci said to Fenghuang.

"Yes, ask Judge Cui." Fenghuang got up, "Fuju, can you invite people in the bureau to cooperate with us and call out the monitoring and investigation?"

Fu Shenglin nodded cooperatively.

"For every victim who fell into brain death, we need to call out the traces of the previous day."

"No problem, I will ask the person in charge of the bureau to arrange it now."

Fenghuang turned to Bi Fang and the others and said, "Chongming, you organize the manpower in the bureau to assist Bureau Fu. In addition, Bi Fang cooperated with Ruyi and An Yin to set up small exorcism formations in various places in Jindu to Just in case."

Bi Fang and the others responded in unison, "Okay."

"Xixi and I will go to Judge Cui first." Zong Ci did not delay, after greeting Shen Xi, he took Shen Xi's hand and walked out.

***

"Zongci, are we going to the underworld now?" Shen Xi felt sleepy for no reason, and couldn't help but yawned.

"Don't go to hell anymore, go directly to that abandoned factory to look for him." Zong Ci saw his appearance and asked with concern, "Sleepy?"

Shen Xi rubbed his eyes, "Maybe it's because of being drunk yesterday, and then I've been busy all day today."

Zong Ci held his hand, "Should you go back to rest first? Cui Yu's side, I'll just ask him."

"It's okay, it's still early. Just pass this sleepiness." Shen Xi shook his hand, "Let's go."

"it is good."

The two came to the abandoned factory with ease, and Zongci used his spiritual power to wave it casually.

Not long after, a figure emerged.

"You two, why do you run towards me every day? Do you like the Underworld so much?" Cui Yu laughed and teased without the decadence of yesterday.

"Cui Yu, I have something serious to ask you." Zong Ci said seriously, and Shen Xi also nodded in agreement.

Cui Yu approached and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"

"Recently, there have been many brain-dead victims in Jindu." Zong Ci cut to the chase.

When Cui Yu heard this, he had a vague guess.Immediately afterwards, Shen Xi said, "I have sent people to investigate, and their souls have left."

"The soul is gone?" The guess in his heart was verified, and Cui Yu finally put away his shallow smile, "Give me your name."

Shen Xi had already read the list of names of the victims on the way, seeing him asking such a question, he immediately reported several names.

"No." Cui Yu thought for a while, and only answered two words.

"No?" Shen Xi frowned, puzzled.

Cui Yu said in detail, "I was in the underworld just now, and I just checked the list during this period. The souls of these people are not in the underworld. Obviously, since it is abnormal brain death...the perpetrators hooked their souls. gone."

"Hunting?" Shen Xi chewed these two words, "Hooking the souls of these ordinary people, what are you going to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another figure appeared behind Cui Yu, it was Yan Xu, the adjutant.

Yan Xu was not surprised to see Zong Ci and Shen Xi.He walked straight to Cui Yu's side and whispered a few words to him.

Cui Yu's face suddenly sank, and even the surrounding temperature became a little colder.

Shen Xi only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he also felt the chill around him, so he asked a little uneasy, "Cui Yu, what's wrong?"

"There is something that may be related to your case." Cui Yu opened his mouth, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Zong Ci looked directly at him, waiting for his follow-up.

"The underworld has lost a group of ghosts who died recently."

The souls of ordinary people have disappeared, and the ghosts that should have entered the underworld recently have also disappeared.

These two things can be connected together with just a rough thought.

"The perpetrator wants so many souls, why?"

"Soul, soul is yang, and soul is yin. The world is composed of yin and yang. If these unconscious souls are controlled by people and gather together, once they attack, there may be consequences..."

As the judge of the underworld, Cui Yu is naturally very clear about the matter of souls.

"Zong Ci, add me to this case." Cui Yu said seriously, "This matter has something to do with the Underworld, so I can't just sit idly by."

Zong Ci happened to have this thought too, nodded, "I just feel that I need you."

"My lord, my subordinates are also willing to serve." Yan Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Adjutant Yan." Cui Yu said to him sideways, "Go to strengthen the management of the underworld first, lest someone sneak into the underworld and release those heinous ghosts."

If the assailant this time really intends to use his soul to cause chaos, I am afraid that the underworld is the place he covets!

"This subordinate understands." Yan Xu responded and retreated.

"Zong Ci, I will go to the place where the ghost disappeared first. If I find anything, I will go to you as soon as possible."

Zong Ci nodded, "Be careful yourself."

"it is good."

***

On the way back, Shen Xi rested on Zong Ci's shoulder, yawning again and again.

"Zongci, I'm so sleepy."

"Rely on me to sleep, and I'll call you when I get home."

Shen Xi was also polite, and leaned on Zong Ci's shoulder, "Remember to call me."

"it is good."

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived downstairs.

Zong Ci looked down at Shen Xi, and found that he had fallen asleep in a daze.Zong Ci couldn't bear to disturb him, and directly carried him back to the house.

"Huh?" Shen Xi touched the soft quilt, and the familiar temperature rushed over his face.He wanted to open his eyes several times, but his eyelids were heavy, "Zong, Zongci..."

Zong Ci always felt a little strange, and reached out to touch his forehead, "Xixi, are you feeling unwell?"

"Just let me, let me sleep for a while." Shen Xi muttered.

"Well, you sleep for a while, I'll get you something to eat, and I'll call you later." Zong Ci stroked his cheek, but Shen Xi seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep and didn't respond to him again.

Zongci felt that something was wrong, so he used his spiritual power to investigate.There was nothing wrong with the spiritual power in Shen Xi's body.

After getting this result, he was relieved, he kissed his lover's forehead helplessly, and said softly, "Why are you so tired?"

After that, he got up and went to the kitchen, intending to order some pasta, which will be eaten as dinner for the two of them later.

***

I don't know how long it took, Shen Xihun opened his eyes in confusion, he got off the bed with squinted eyes, and walked out slowly, "Zong Ci..."

The originally heavy and tired body now sleeps lightly.

"Zongci?"

Shen Xi saw that the lights in the kitchen were connected, and Zong Ci was busy.

He smiled and ran over to hug his lover.As a result, it was empty!

Shen Xi looked at all this in disbelief, but saw Zong Ci turn around and pass him.

"... Zong Ci?!" He looked at his almost transparent hand, his pupils shrank slightly, and his whole body was covered in fear.

Zong Ci paused and turned to look at him.Shen Xi was overjoyed, thinking that the other party had seen him, and hurried over, "Zong Ci, can you see me? What's wrong with me..."

Looking at the empty kitchen, Zong Ci frowned.He seemed to have noticed something, and quickly turned around and walked towards the room, "Xixi?!"

Seeing this, Shen Xi quickly followed in.It was just the scene in front of him that made it hard for him to accept.

In the room, 'Shen Xi' was still sleeping on the bed safe and sound.

Shen Xi murmured in disbelief, "...Is my soul out of body?"
