I am an insect

Chapter 38 The Case of the Drowning Corpse

The flapping of this wing can increase her speed to a certain extent, but she hadn't used it when chasing Ji Ye.

Because this was her trump card, she wouldn't use it lightly. Besides, capturing Ji Ye was risky, and she didn't want to be at the forefront and take the risk.

But now that she wanted to escape, things were different. With a flap of her wings, her speed suddenly increased, and she fled at full speed towards the outside of the night market. Even if Ji Ye wanted to chase after her, he couldn't catch up with her speed.

Ji Ye was somewhat surprised by how fast the short-haired beauty ran away.

Retracting the black hook from its hand, the giant dog collapsed to the ground, lifeless, its spiritual essence dissipating, on the verge of its soul being scattered.

Ji Ye looked at the young woman who had suddenly killed Yong Ge with a look of vigilance and curiosity in his eyes, but he was also sweating bullets.

The yellow stinger she just displayed was also an extension of her mental entity, which is why it was able to kill Brother Yong. This means that her identity is the same as mine, with an adult worm hidden inside her.

But why would she disguise herself as an ordinary person, pretend to be unconscious, and sleep here with a group of ordinary people, only to suddenly attack, a move that even a god couldn't escape?

"That was close. I wouldn't have been able to avoid her sudden attack either. It seems that we need to be wary of not only these mental entities, but also ordinary people. No one knows if an adult worm is hiding inside an ordinary person."

"Come with me quickly, we can't stay here any longer. That woman has escaped, and she'll be back with more people soon." After saying this, the young woman quickly headed in the other direction.

Ji Ye suddenly felt that she looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before. His heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly remembered that she was that nurse.

Li Hao was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment that day. He had seen Li Hao in his mind, and a female nurse pushed in medicine and saw him.

At that time, I thought the female nurse was part of the group of middle-aged men in white hats, so I immediately ran through the wall and escaped. I only met her once and never had any contact with her again.

He never expected her to be here tonight, but because she wasn't wearing a nurse's uniform, Ji Ye didn't recognize her at first glance.

"The fact that she could kill Brother Yong means she wasn't one of these people..."

Ji Ye's mind raced. Although he didn't trust the woman, he knew she was right. The short-haired woman had escaped and might return soon with others. He couldn't stay here any longer.

Both of them moved quickly, and after leaving the night market, the woman quickly got into a car.

"Get in the car." The young woman started the car and urged Ji Ye to get in.

Ji Ye glanced at her. Although she was the only one in the car, he shook his head and turned to walk towards the alleyway in the distance.

The young woman was stunned. She gave a "feeding" sound, and seeing that Ji Ye didn't stop, she stomped her foot in anger. She had no choice but to turn off the car, get out, and chase after Ji Ye.

"I've never seen such a wary guy before, but he is indeed very capable..." the young woman muttered to herself. Because Ji Ye was not walking fast, she quickly caught up with him.

Entering the deserted alley, Ji Ye looked around. The alley was interconnected, making it easy to escape if anything happened. Moreover, he could see the situation at the night market in the distance, but the people at the night market could not see him here. Only then did Ji Ye stop.

He feared that the young woman might be hiding something in the car, or perhaps leading him to some dangerous place. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't rashly get in the car and go with her. Even if she helped him and killed Brother Yong, he wouldn't follow her orders. He had to keep the initiative in his own hands.

"Who are you?"

Seeing the young woman catch up, Ji Ye finally spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm just like you, one of those lost souls they talk about. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, so you and I are kind of companions."

The young woman spoke quickly and crisply, but Ji Ye frowned slightly, looking at her and saying, "Are you a wandering ghost? Then why didn't they look for you? How could you disguise yourself as an ordinary person right under their noses without them noticing? Do you have a way to evade their detection?"

Ji Ye didn't believe the young woman and threw out a series of questions. He had been chased several times in recent days. If this woman was like him, how could she have escaped their notice? She was also at the hospital when Li Hao was sent there. What a coincidence!

Ji Ye even suspected that she was in cahoots with the young people, just to gain his trust. The only thing that didn't make sense was how she could have killed Yong Ge.

If it was all just to gain someone's trust, the price paid was far too high. The way Yong Ge looked when he was infected was not an act; he was truly dead.

If she wanted to kill him, she could have easily done so by pretending to be an ordinary human unconscious and then suddenly attacking him. He would have been hit just as easily. From this perspective, if she wanted to kill him, she could have just launched a sneak attack; there was no need for her to go through all that trouble.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still wanted to hear the woman's explanation.

The young woman said, "It's a long story. They didn't know I existed, otherwise I wouldn't be alive now."

Ji Ye frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

The young woman hesitated for a moment before saying, "Unlike you, I didn't die a natural death and get cremated, so they naturally recorded it. I died an unnatural death."

"Unnatural death?" Ji Ye asked. "You mean death in a car accident or some other accident? But even in such accidental deaths, the body will be sent for cremation. Once you arrive at the crematorium, they'll have people watching you. How can you let them not know you're there?"

He thought of the middle-aged man in the white hat, who was guarding the crematorium and could see any spiritual entity that appeared during cremation.

The young woman shook her head and said, "The kind of unnatural death I'm talking about is the kind where no one knows you've died."

As she said this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Ji Ye understood. The young woman's unnatural death must be similar to that of a missing person. She was dead, but her body was not discovered or cremated for some special reason. Therefore, even the group of young people in white hats did not know of her existence.

"So how exactly did you die?" Ji Ye asked, somewhat curious.

The young woman looked at him and said, "You want to know?"

Ji Ye nodded. Although he had lived for a century, he was still curious and very curious about how this woman had died and how her body had not been discovered.

The young woman pursed her lips slightly again before saying, "I was killed by my husband. My body was tied to a large rock and sunk to the bottom of the river, so no one has discovered it until now."

Ji Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly asked, "Are you called Lin Ya?"

The young woman smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, my name is Lin Ya. It seems you've heard of my case."

Ji Ye looked at the young woman in front of him, lost in thought. In his mind, he thought of the case a year ago that shocked Ancheng and even the whole country: the murder of a wife and dumping of her body. The female protagonist in that case was Lin Ya.

At that time, Ji Ye was already physically weak and spent most of his time in the hospital, but he had still heard about the case of murdering his wife and dumping her body.
