Chapter 50 The Female Spirit - Feng Xinyu
Ye Shaoyang imdiately waved his hand in rejection, “I have no interest in trying out a foot spa . About the karaoke session though … . ” He liked singing in general, but the idea of two n singing was another thing entirely . It really did not sound like an interesting plan . After so quick consideration, he declined the invitation . He would rather go ho and rest . So, he called it a day . He exited the restaurant and imdiately took a cab back to the university . Xiao Ma was already asleep when Ye Shaoyang returned to the dorms . Ye Shaoyang was feeling a little heavy in his head after one too many drinks . He fell right onto his bed and dozed off in seconds .
He woke up early the next morning after a good sleep . Xiao Ma had not woken up yet, so Ye Shaoyang cleaned himself up and went out to the cafeteria for breakfast . On his way back, he received an unexpected call from Xie Yuqing . Apparently, she had found so information in the archive . She wanted to et up to discuss this newly acquired information . Ye Shaoyang did not expect her to be such an efficient investigator . She had acquired this information overnight . He thought for a while and said, “Let's et at my place . It's the safest place I can think of now . ”
Twenty minutes later, she arrived as promised . She was in her sports attire—her hair neatly tied up in a ponytail . While Ye Shaoyang would usually tease her when they et, her fresh look sowhat stunned him . He had to admit that she was really eye-catching today .
“Hold this . ” Upon her arrival, Xie Yuqing tossed a bulk of docunts at him . The paper had already turned yellowish, so it must have been kept for a really long ti . She blinked at him mischievously, “Of all places to et, why did you choose your dorm? My guess is that you secretly want to show off to everyone around you . You want to trick them into believing you got yourself a hot girlfriend, right?”
“You think too much,” Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes at her, “I have nurous tools here, so no spirit can enter without noticing . But so of my tools are quite a pain to carry around, which is why I asked you to co over instead . But if you see any guys you like, just tell . I don't mind helping you get a boyfriend here . ”
Xie Yuqing scorned, “A bunch of young spoilt brats . Like I would need one . ”
She stepped into the room and found Xiao Ma soundly asleep in his bed . He was sleeping like a pig, and his fat belly peeked out from his loose shirt . She mumbled, “What a sore to my eyes . ”
Ye Shaoyang said, “Just ignore him . We have work to do . ”
Xiao Ma heard their voices and imdiately opened his eyes . The sight of Xie Yuqing standing in front of his bed stunned him, but he quickly ca to his senses and joked, “Hey Officer Xie . Looks like we have a rare visitor here . Would you like anything? How about a cup of tea or a cigarette?”
Xie Yuqing was not pleased, “Enough with your nonsense . If you have nothing better to do, get up and be useful for once . ”
Ye Shaoyang placed the pile of docunts onto the bed . There were more than a hundred docunts . He sighed in awe, “You are really sothing . Just one night and you managed to gather all of this . ”
“So are from the archive; so are from the internal departnt in our police station . I haven't gone through all of it yet . I don't know if they are going to be useful, but let's go through it . ”
They distributed the docunts among themselves, and the trio carefully combed through the docunts one by one . Whenever they found a docunt that even slightly involved dormitory four, they would imdiately read it out loud and analyze it together .
The earliest ntion of the dormitory was in 1945 . According to the docunts, this was the year the Japanese finally surrendered themselves . The governnt took over the military hospital of Stone City and found the building filled with corpses . The governnt buried the corpses of all these Japanese soldiers out of humanity and compassion . A mass grave was ford at Mount Qiuyun . Since then, the building was said to be haunted . People even died mysteriously one after another there . Xie Yuqing frowned after she read this, “This is different from the rumors . According to the stories I heard, the Japanese were forced to commit suicide in there . ”
Ye Shaoyang replied, “Let's just follow the docuntation here . I would rather trust this written docunt instead of rumors . ”
Xie Yuqing continued, “Maybe you are right, but how did they die? They weren't under attack . As far as I know, once the Japanese soldiers agreed to surrender, the fighting stopped from both sides . They could have retreated from the country . But these soldiers didn't leave and died instead . This doesn't make sense . ”
Ye Shaoyang agreed with her words . Sothing was not right here . However, these docunts were the only information available to them . They could not make anything further out of it .
Xiao Ma raised a few pieces of paper, “ This is a na list of those who died and so personal information . Do you guys want to read through this?”
Ye Shaoyang took the papers from him . It was a simple hospital record that contained the na, occupation, and birthplace of the deceased . However, it was incomplete; so had only a na and nothing else . Ye Shaoyang glanced through the list . It only seed to contain Japanese soldiers . This information was not really useful for them, as they already knew that the deceased were all Japanese soldiers . But just when he wanted to put this list away, he saw a na . It was a Chinese na, which stood out as sothing unusual . The na read—Feng Xinyu .
What followed was so information on this girl . She used to be a university student from Stone City University, who had furthered her studies in Japan as a dical student . The governnt hired her as a Japanese translator . During the period of Japanese occupation, the military appointed her as a translator-cum-dical officer .
But what really caught Ye Shaoyang's attention was a certain note—when the governnt recovered the building after the war, they found her dead body on an operation theater . All the bodies found had started to rot, except for hers . Her face still looked alive . They buried her together with all the other bodies at Mount Qiuyun . After that, paranormal phenonon continuously occurred in the area, which caused all the residents there to flee as they worried for their lives . Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath and pointed at the na, “This . This is most probably the na we have been looking for . ”
“The female student spirit?” Xie Yuqing asked with a worried face .
“Yes . Her age, experience, and tiline matches . Besides, she died a bizarre death . Her body did not rot like the other corpses around her . Sothing must have happened . ” Ye Shaoyang thought hard for a while . Then, he said to Xie Yuqing, “Now that we know her na, can you find out so information? Especially her Ba Zi . ”
[TL note: Ba Zi - date of birth and eight characters of a horoscope]
“She has already died for such a long ti . She is a spirit now . What do we need this for?” Xie Yuqing could not understand .
“Of course it's going to help . With her Ba Zi, it’s going to be easier to defeat her,” Ye Shaoyang replied . In his mind, an idea had started to take shape .
Xie Yuqing nodded in agreent, “Ok, I will get this done . What's your plan?”
Ye Shaoyang replied, “I’ll head to Mount Qiuyun . I need to find Feng Xinyu’s corpse . ”
Xie Yuqing was shocked . Nevertheless, she supported his decision, “I know there’s a Mountain called Qiuyun at the south of the university . It's not far from here . But I am not completely sure . Do you want to check it out?”
“I guess that is the mountain we are looking for . There were so many bodies to bury at that ti, so they wouldn't be able to bury them too far away . ”
“That’s a good point . So, do you want to go now?”
“Let's prepare ourselves before we go . If we can really find the body, I need to perform aconsecration ritual on the spot . We wouldn't want to waste ti making another trip . ” Ye Shaoyang decided to give Old Guo a call . He explained the situation . He wanted Old Guo to bring over so required items . Considering that he might need an extra pair of hands, he also called Li Duo to et him there . Li Duo and Xiao Ma had been the two best candidates if he needed any assistance . He would rather pay them than hire a new face . Afterall, he did not want too many people involved .
