Chapter 146 The Man Beside The Morgue
“How can something so evil exist? Does it also kill the mother?” Xie Yuqing asked .
“The mother and baby are a natural pair . If the mother doesn’t die, the spirit will have a hard time controlling the baby’s soul . ”
“How can this be? Doesn’t the netherworld council care about these matters?” Xie Yuqing asked furiously .
Ye Shaoyang glanced at her and said, “There are some things that you don’t know . Anyways, if it comes to the mortal realm, then it’s within our jurisdiction to take care of it . The good news is that it must be part of the Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation . The bad news is that it can conceal its Qi making it harder for me to detect . ”
The director had heard of these facts, he cupped his hand and said, “Mr . Ye, I can only rely on you now . Please take care of the underworld midwife and bring peace to the hospital . If you help us, I promise you I’ll give you a very big reward . ”
Ye Shaoyang nodded his head and said, “If it was somewhere else it might have been harder for me to find the underworld spirit, but since it is only the p.a.w.n of someone else, it is unable to break the formation to get out . We will have an easier time hunting it down . ”
The director felt shocked, “Even with the power of the underworld midwife, it is unable to break free from this formation you mentioned?”
Ye Shaoyang snorted, “The spirit realm is limitless, and there are plenty more powerful spirits than the underworld midwife . But I do wonder, who is the one responsible for the Five Spirit Formation? And why hasn’t he come to stop me?”
Even though he did not know the reason, Ye Shaoyang believed that someone powerful would be coming for him in the near future .
This underworld midwife is going to be a hard one to deal with, at least harder than that corpse eating spirit .
Then, Xiao Ma called . He said that he had sent the money and asked where they were . Ye Shaoyang told him the address and ended the call .
Then, Xie Yuqing asked, “I have another question . That long-haired woman that had blood all over her body, what was she? Do you know?”
“A b.l.o.o.d.y muddled spirit . It especially likes to consume period blood . I think it probably helped the underworld midwife in the beginning . Remember in the video, the woman stared intently at the ceiling? I think that was the b.l.o.o.d.y muddled spirit scaring her, making her easier to deal with for the underworld midwife . Then, when the woman lost a lot of blood, it went and enjoyed the blood . ”
“Disgusting!” Xie Yuqing frowned . Then, she remembered something else and asked, “Oh yeah, what about the baby? What happens to the baby now that it doesn’t have a soul?”
“The underworld midwife is unable to take away all three Hun and seven Po . The baby still contains one Hun, the life Hun . That’s why the baby seems normal at first because they don’t know how to speak yet, nor do they know anything . But once that baby grows up, abnormalities will start to show,” Ye Shaoyang sighed and continued, “The kid will become mentally challenged . ”
“That’s so cruel,” Xie Yuqing was saddened by this, “Is there a way to help the kid?”
“We’ll have to kill the underworld midwife . Killing it will cut off the baby’s reliance on it . When that happens the baby’s soul will return and rejoin the one soul left in its body . However, there is only a three-month window . If the baby’s soul is not returned within three months, the baby will suffer permanent damage . ”
Xie Yuqing became hopeful once more and said, “It’s all up to you then . I believe you can do it!”
“It’s not like the underworld midwife is easy to deal with,” Ye Shaoyang shrugged and said . “I’ll try my best . ”
After hearing his determination, the director grabbed Ye Shaoyang’s hands and said, “Even though this is a hospital problem and I should be here too, I have to attend a conference in Beijing . I don’t even have time to give you a treat as I need to go to the airport now . So, please Mr . Ye, please help the hospital . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just inform your staff what I’ll be doing and ask them to cooperate with me . ”
The director nodded and said, “I’ll go send those emails now . ”
By the time he finished, Xiao Ma had arrived . They all went to the main gate, but Ye Shaoyang still had one thing that puzzled him, “You’re an outer disciple of the Longhu Sect, so how did you end up as the director of a hospital?”
The director smiled and said, “My family has long been Chinese medicine pract.i.tioners . We had a herb store in a small town near Mt . Longhu . When my master came down to buy some Chinese medicine, he saw that I was a curious kid and he took me under his wing . I followed him for a few years mainly to learn medicine and only a little bit of sorcery . After that, I got into a university, got a job, and slowly worked my way up . Haha, I’m just a common person ”
Ye Shaoyang then replied, “I’m also a common person, so pay me after I’ve finished the job . ”
“Haha, no problem . I won’t give you less than what you deserve . ”
As the director needed to catch his flight, he said his goodbyes and went off . Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma sent Xie Yuqing to her car and said, “Just like before, we’ll deal with things here, while you focus on catching that Shuai something as*hole . I’ll call you if I need any help . Don’t worry . ”
Xie Yuqing nodded and asked, “So, what are you going to do first?”
Ye Shaoyang said, “Maybe walk around the hospital for a while . Then maybe ask that intern nurse out for a meal to get some information . ”
Xie Yuqing was unhappy . When she heard this, she looked at him meanly and said, “You’re so excited . You must be only focusing on the girl that you want to have a meal with, right?”
Ye Shaoyang was surprised, “What?!”
“Who cares? She won"t be interested in a trickster like you anyways . I"ll be going now” Xie Yuqing humphed and drove off .
“What the h.e.l.l are you even talking about?” Ye Shaoyang yelled at the car as it drove off .
After that little argument, Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma went around the complex . They found a place that was heavy in Yin Qi and decided to investigate . It was a long building with only had one floor . When they entered it, they found out that it was the morgue as there were refrigerators that had an unknown number of corpses in them .
Ye Shaoyang wanted to peep through the gaps between the doors and see what was inside .
Suddenly, a cold voice from behind him asked, “What are you doing?”
Ye Shaoyang turned around and saw the man who stood inside the dark guard post . Ye Shaoyang was surprised . When he had checked a moment before, no one had been there .
Ye Shaoyang felt something strange from the eerie short man .
He frowned and asked casually, “You"re the guard for this place?”
The middle-aged man with tired eyes widened his eyes slightly and said, “Go away . This is not somewhere you should be . ”
Ye Shaoyang still had questions, but the middle-aged man closed the door .
Ye Shaoyang had no choice, so he and Xiao Ma turned back .
“Something is definitely wrong with the guard at the morgue . ”
Xiao Ma was a bit surprised and he asked, “A spirit or an undead?”
“Neither, I"ll tell you more when it"s night time . ”
