Chapter 207 - The Case Of The Body Thief (3)



Jiang Chen arrived in a hurry half an hour later. The sun had already set, and the sky had grown dark when he met Shen Minyao, Li Fei\'er, and Mu Qing outside the school grounds. His eyes slightly widened upon seeing Lu Anqi\'s spirit out of her body, and he was terribly confused. 

"How could this happen?" He frowned. 

He had made sure to teach Lu Anqi the necessary things to avoid being possessed by a spirit; however, he had never considered that something like this would happen instead. 

"How could this happen?" Shen Minyao repeated what he had just said and scoffed, clearly mocking him. 

"You know well that Lu Anqi is a medium, and her body is a perfect vessel for many spirits and demons like Shen Minyao. You\'ve taught her how not to be possessed by a malevolent spirit, but you\'ve never taught her how to keep her spirit from leaving her body willingly. Don\'t tell me you\'ve never thought something like this could happen to her," the nine-tailed fox woman questioned him. 

By the way Jiang Chen avoided her gaze, Shen Minyao found out that she was right. Jiang Chen had really failed Lu Anqi this time. 

Jiang Chen grimaced. What Shen Minyao just said was right. He was now aware of his foolishness and mistake this time. He looked at Lu Anqi with worried eyes, and then he sighed. Since he was the one responsible for dragging her to this kind of life, it was only right that he should help her retrieve her body. 

"Tell me what you remembered before you noticed that you were out of your body," he told Lu Anqi. 

The poor young woman narrated the same thing she had told Shen Minyao earlier and how she woke up aware that her spirit was out of her body and that another spirit was possessing it. 

"I see…" His expression darkened as he realized how serious the problem was. So… they needed to help Lu Anqi return to her body in three days and also establish the bond between her spirit and her body before the latter started to deteriorate on its own. 

"Li Fei\'er said that she only has one shot to expel the spirit from my body. I need to occupy it as soon as she expels it," Lu Anqi said in a low voice. 

"She\'s right, or else, your body would be taken over by another spirit if you failed." Jiang Chen nodded. 

Perhaps Lu Anqi was lucky to be acquainted with a shaman like Li Fei\'er that could help her this time. 

"I\'ll help. Just tell me what I need to do." He offered to the young shaman. He could not just pretend that he hadn\'t done anything wrong towards Lu Anqi… when he knew full well what kind of danger was waiting for her when she became a medium because of her association with his team. 

Li Fei\'er glanced at Shen Minyao for help, but the demoness didn\'t make any indication that she had a plan unlike before. 

"Actually, Mr. Jiang, we don\'t have a plan yet. That\'s why Yaoyao decided to call you," she confessed to Jiang Chen. 

Jiang Chen glanced at the fox woman and wondered if that was true. As his eyes met hers, he then realized that Shen Minyao wasn\'t willing to help Lu Anqi. She wanted him to deal with the problem instead. 

He couldn\'t fault her for that. How could he forget that she was a demon that held such cynical thoughts towards humans like them? Since he was responsible for Lu Anqi, Shen Minyao wasn\'t willing to proactively help her unless there was no other choice. 

"Then, we need to find your body first and then find out what kind of spirit possessed it," he told Lu Anqi. "Do you know where your body is now?" 

Lu Anqi shook her head. "I\'m not sure. I\'ve been running around, trying to avoid the other spirits when they come after me." 

Spirits coming after her meant they were aware that they wouldn\'t have a chance to possess her body once she returned to it. They wanted to stop her for this very reason. 

"Why don\'t we check your home to see if it is there?" Li Fei\'er suggested. 

The three women sat at the backseat of Jiang Chen\'s car, while Mu Qing was next to the driver\'s seat, with his eyes closed. He didn\'t need to get involved in this case, but he was curious as to what could happen. He didn\'t think that Lu Anqi\'s time had been done yet, considering he could still see her remaining lifespan in the mortal realm. 

When they arrived at the apartment where Lu Anqi lived, they found the whole place trashed. It was as if a thief had just gone through her belongings, trying to find her valuable things while she was away. 

Lu Anqi frowned as she realized that she would need to do a lot of cleaning once she returned to her body. She would be in a lot of trouble if the landlady found out what happened to this place today.

"Can you smell a trace of demonic aura here?" She heard Mu Qing ask Shen Minyao. 

"There\'s none. Only a strong stench of malevolent spirits lingered in this place." Shen Minyao scrunched her nose in disgust. "Perhaps, Li Fei\'er could help Lu Anqi dispel the scent, so the other spirits wouldn\'t be attracted to the house." 

"I should do that." Li Fei\'er agreed with Shen Minyao. Even she could smell the disgusting and nauseous stench that the malevolent spirits left in Lu Anqi\'s place. "But her body isn\'t here. Where could the spirit possibly take it?" 

"Can\'t you just track her scent to find her body\'s whereabouts?" The grim reaper asked the fox woman again. This time, he earned such a fierce and scathing glare from her. 

"Lord Hell, do you think I\'m a dog? You dare to compare me to those mutts?"

"Hey, I said no such thing. I only asked because I got the impression you and Lord Qin have heightened senses, far better than mine," Mu Qing said in defense. However, he had to admit, only to himself, that what Shen Minyao just said was amusing. He hadn\'t really thought about it. 

"Yaoyao, can you please try to find her body? You\'re the only one who could find a lead about Lu Anqi\'s whereabouts." Li Fei\'er asked the fox woman with a worried expression on her face. 

Shen Minyao pinched the bridge of her nose again, wondering why she should clean after someone else\'s mistake. She gave Jiang Chen a knowing look, but she didn\'t say anything to him. 

"Fine, but just this once… and don\'t blame me if her body isn\'t found within Jiang City. You have to consider also that the spirit took her body and might have left the city." She conceded, knowing she really couldn\'t deny Li Fei\'er if the friend asked for her help like this. 

Li Fei\'er and Lu Anqi nodded in understanding, but they hoped in their hearts that it wouldn\'t be the case this time. 

The fox woman used her spatial awareness ability within Jiang City, scanning every nook and corner of the vast metropolitan city that housed millions of humans and hundreds of demons mingling in the crowd. 

Li Fei\'er and Lu Anqi were both speechless when she shut her eyes, focusing on scanning the whole city with her spatial awareness ability. Shen Minyao\'s black hair turned silvery-white, and demonic marks appeared on the sides of her face and arms. 

Even Qin Zhi had sensed it as it reached him at the top floor of his company building, wondering what caused her to use it.

It took Shen Minyao a full five minutes to be able to finish her scan. 

"Found it. It is moving fast. I\'m guessing she had taken the train and was planning to go somewhere towards the east," she said as her features returned to normal, much to Li Fei\'er and Lu Anqi\'s disappointment. The two humans were both in awe of her partial transformation. 

Jiang Chen pulled out his phone and checked the schedule of the train rides that were going in the direction Shen Minyao mentioned. He found one that was currently on its way to the east and what station it was going to stop at soon. 

They hurriedly went back inside his car and drove towards the same route the train had taken. 

"Would you be able to tell if she stopped and alighted from the train, Yaoyao?" Li Fei\'er asked Shen Minyao. 

"En. Once she was found by my ability, it would be easy for me to track her movements," Shen Minyao replied. 

Jiang Chen and Lu Anqi sighed in relief upon hearing that.. It only meant that they wouldn\'t be able to lose Lu Anqi\'s body again, now that Shen Minyao was able to locate it without a problem.
