Chapter 840: Chapter 0840: Pretending to be a College Student
Originally, when the prospective son-in-law came over, Lin Yingying’s parents had prepared quite a few nice things.
Who would have known, he just sat in the car and didn’t move.
The old couple blocked his way, refusing to let him leave, but in the end, it was Lin Yingying who made excuses for Long Fei, and they finally let him go.
Lin Yingying’s mother, Yu Hui, scolded, "You silly girl, why discuss work late at night. You can only believe a third of what that man says, the other seven parts are all just excuses."
Lin Guodong said proudly, "Your mother is right. No matter how busy I was at the company, I would still be home by seven o’clock every evening, for decades without fail. You better watch out for this Long Fei. Don’t let it turn out to be a case of chickens flying and eggs breaking, losing out on both ends."
"I get it, you’re really nagging!"
Lin Yingying felt a big headache coming on; every time she came back, she had to listen to their nagging.
She flopped down on the couch and, hugging a pillow, shouted, "Both of you go serve dinner, I’m starving. In the past two months abroad, I haven’t had a single delicious meal, just burgers and fast food every day."
"Alright, Your Royal Highness The Princess, please wait a moment."
Lin Guodong and Yu Hui went inside with smiles and brought out the dishes they had prepared, one by one.
Lin Yingying watched them and smiled secretly. It was only in their presence that she could completely relax, without having to put on any pretenses in front of others.
At the entrance to the police station, Long Fei drove over after being held up.
As expected, Ding Xue was hugging her arms and looking at him with a sulky face. She pointed at her watch and complained, "Ever since you got married, you don’t keep to the time anymore? I called you at seven, and now it’s already eight."
Long Fei parked the car and, with a head full of sweat, said, "Hey, who’s asking whom for help here? It’s good enough that your buddy came at all. Who else is still working outside this late at night?"
"Now that you have a wife, your words are much firmer."
Ding Xue muttered with her arms crossed. Back when he was unmarried, he was so happy to see her.
Now, his attitude was so nonchalant.
The two entered the medical examiner’s office at the police station, where post-mortem examinations were conducted.
There were ice coffins inside, which could temporarily store bodies.
After Ding Xue showed her credentials, she took Long Fei into the sterile area.
On the bed lay a body, covered with a white cloth.
Ding Xue walked over and pulled back the white cloth.
A withered male corpse was revealed, the whole person reduced to skin and bones, looking like a dried-up mummy.
Ding Xue introduced, "Since the new year, this is already the third victim. All the victims are male corpses, who weighed at least 150 pounds alive, but now are less than 30 pounds."
Long Fei looked at the male body and frowned, asking her, "Is this a Binhai University student?"
Ding Xue nodded and continued, "After the forensic examination, there were no internal or external injuries on his body. The cause of death seems to be like being roasted by fire, the blood and qi evaporated completely from inside out. We checked his social relations and found no clues. According to his roommates, he was a homebody. He had no special hobbies, except he liked to play online games. A week ago, he skipped class and went to an internet cafe to play until midnight before coming back. The incident happened in an unfinished building next to the school. When he was found, he was already like this. The students are now in a state of panic, saying the school used to be built over a Mass Burial Mound. Now the wronged souls beneath are seeking vengeance, and who knows who might be stricken next. Recently, there has been a big increase in leave requests, and many girls are too scared to come to class, hiding at home instead."
Long Fei assessed the body with his spiritual power, then said with furrowed brows, "It’s not a wronged soul. Ghosts that absorb a person’s Essential Qi would leave behind a strong presence of Yin Qi. The aura on this body, it’s like Demonic Qi."
"Demonic Qi?"
Ding Xue frowned, "Are you saying there’s a demon at Binhai University?"
"Maybe!"
Long Fei analyzed for her, "According to what you’ve said, the victims are all students from Binhai University. So, the demon committing the crimes could possibly be living around the campus for easy access, or it might be a demon that came from somewhere else, filled its belly, and fled. We can’t say for sure right now."
Ding Xue asked curiously, "Can these demons actually aid their cultivation by eating just one or two people? If they are so powerful, why don’t they just consume an entire city’s population? Why sneak around and only eat someone once a month?"
Long Fei said, "Demons are categorized as Great Demons and Little Demons. Eating humans is the most low-level cultivation method, and Great Demons generally disdain it. Things like Lingzhi mushrooms and Pills are far more effective than human Essence Blood. Moreover, indiscriminate killing of mortals entails karma. Cultivators defy the heavens, and they dread accumulating excessive karma when facing their tribulations. The heavier the karma, the stronger the Thunderbolt during the tribulation. Only brainless demons would do such a thing unless we’re talking about those with no ambition."
Ding Xue mused, "So, you mean to say this demon is just a lowly Little Demon?"
Long Fei shook his head, "This is just speculation, anything’s possible."
Ding Xue gave him a sidelong glance, "You’ve rambled on and got nowhere, haven’t you? What do we do now? Do you have a way to find this demon?"
"Don’t be in such a rush!"
Long Fei thought for a moment and said, "Binhai University has tens of thousands of students, and if you add in the vendors and residents from the neighboring urban village, we’re talking about well over a hundred thousand people. Even if we had a Demon-revealing Mirror, it’s impossible to screen so many. The best course of action right now is to lure the snake out of its hole. This demon likes male postgraduate students, right? So, you’ll disguise yourself as one, and then we can bait and catch it easily."
"Me?"
Ding Xue ground her teeth and complained, "I’m supposed to disguise myself as a male student? How do I look anything like a man?"
Long Fei eyed her chest and smirked mischievously, "Don’t be modest, at least your ’pecs’ are quite developed."
"I’ll kill you!"
Ding Xue’s face flushed red as she lunged to grab him.
Long Fei quickly dodged, coughed twice, and said, "Be careful, there are cameras here!"
Ding Xue retorted, "You clown, not a shred of seriousness in you. According to your bright idea, you should disguise yourself as a male student. I think with your looks, demons will definitely like you."
Long Fei shrugged his shoulders, "Are you kidding me? I don’t have the time."
Ding Xue glared, "Are you going or not?"
Long Fei shook his head, "No!"
Ding Xue tapped her forehead, "Fine, you won’t go, huh? Then I’ll call Yingying and tell her you’ve been making inappropriate advances toward me."
She pulled out her phone and waved it at Long Fei with a threatening look.
Long Fei wiped away a cold sweat, thinking to himself, why are women nowadays so unreasonable?
He made up an excuse, "I’m just a nobody, I’d get kicked out by the campus security if I tried to go to the university."
Ding Xue said nonchalantly, "What’s the issue? Tomorrow, I’ll report to the higher-ups, and they’ll give you a role. With your big frame, you can go to the university’s sports department, no one will suspect a thing."
Her eyes sparkled, and she smugly tapped her head, boasting, "That’s really not a bad idea, how am I so smart?"
Long Fei was speechless, wishing he could slap himself for carelessly making such a suggestion.
He had just returned to the country and had his own matters to attend to, how could he possibly have time to go to university?
