Episode 2: A Night of Fright (Part 1) Sorry, it's late today.

  All in all, this matter is quite fishy.

  According to the deputy captain, it's another unsolved case with no leads at all.

  At that time, Ye and I were discussing the dragon issue. The deputy captain happened to come out of the room to find us. Upon hearing this topic, he chimed in: "Are there dragons in this world?"

  Yeh replied: "What dragon?"

  Ye Yi still didn't like to deal with people from ZF. I had already gotten used to this, and was thinking about Long's situation when Ye Yi said: "Captain Wang, things here are very fishy. So, I can't promise you anything. Moreover, I guarantee that anyone who knows the ropes won't come to take on this task."

  The deputy captain asked in surprise: "You don't dare either?"

  Yeyizixiaode laughed and said: "I'm not some kind of immortal, I just rely on this to make a living. I advise you not to look for those so-called immortals, it's just harming innocent lives. All I can tell you is that nine out of ten times, it's not human work."

  Three people stared with their eyes wide open, watching the forensic doctor collect the corpse pieces one by one, piece by piece, and lump by lump into bags, to be reassembled later.

  My complexion gradually returned to normal. Ye took a puff of smoke and suddenly said, "Captain Wang, you said there were three other places in this neighborhood where similar cases occurred?"

  Deputy Captain said: "Yes, very similar cases, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you guys."

  "Can I go take a look?" Ye Yi made such a request.

  The request made the deputy team leader pause for a moment, he still clearly remembered that Ye Yi said it was none of his business. But he immediately said: "It should be okay, I'll contact the current owner."

  "Alright, tomorrow then. Tomorrow we'll go take a look together. Although it can't be helped, maybe we can prevent something." Ye Yi still managed to say a compromising statement. He really wasn't a cold-blooded person after all.

  The deputy captain nodded: "Alright, we'll be in touch tomorrow."

  "Alright, let's go. See you tomorrow." Ye Yi had pressed the elevator button while speaking and it just happened to stop at the 10th floor.

  The deputy captain said I'll see you off.

  The three of us reappeared downstairs, and the isolation belt was still there. There were even more reporters outside the isolation belt. Ye Yi and I went back to the car directly and drove out of the community gate.

  I found Ye Yatou glanced back when passing through the gate.

  Nor did he know what he was looking at, the streetlights at night were brilliant and bright, the surrounding traffic had a unique atmosphere, and the intertwined sounds were no longer the insect calls of summer, but the noisy car horns.

  I propped up the car window with my hand and asked Ye Yi with a tilted head: "Is there any discovery?"

  Nothing useful has been found yet, if I can find a clue. But this matter is too sinister, I don't dare to get involved easily.

  I asked: "Is the Rakshasa you mentioned really that terrifying?"

  Yi Dao said, "Dragons are born with a spiritual body, and from the moment of their transformation, they have been accompanied by Rakshasas that were also born at the same time. Apart from bringing rain and clouds, their more important role is to act as nannies. They gather all sorts of food for young dragons and nurse them until they grow up. As the dragon grows, the Rakshasa's abilities will become stronger, and with each birth of a new dragon, it means that there will be a group of powerful Rakshasas that will follow them for life. It can be said that dragons are not a single species, but rather a small species that rules over a larger species. However, these are just records and cannot be verified. The only thing that can be inferred is that the breath of a dragon is the best food for Rakshasas. The stronger the dragon, the stronger its breath, and the stronger the Rakshasas around it will become."

  "I said: 'But this is no big deal. After all, it's an extinct species.'"

  "Haha, right, species! You said it very aptly. However, a dragon's growth doesn't feed on flesh and blood, but rather on shattered souls. Only souls filled with fear have the greatest temptation for dragons."

  "Hasn't the dragon become an evil species?" I wonder at Baby's incessant questioning on this kind of topic.

  Yeyian explained to me patiently: "The dragon itself has no distinction between good and evil, just like humans at first. There must be some kind of constraint, otherwise how would the dragon go extinct? Tonight, accompany me to a place to check some information, if we can find it, that's best, if not, we'll have to ask that person for advice."

  I sighed and thought that this circle is really hard to mix in after all.

  I called my mom on the way and said I wouldn't be back today. I closed my eyes and rested in Ye Yi's car, not caring where he would take me. Dazed and confused, after stopping the car, I found myself at the Golden Temple outside the suburbs.

  I finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "How did you end up here?"

  "Standard books wouldn't have these things. The Golden Temple collected various strange and miscellaneous texts and scriptures from all over D City when it was first built, specifically to fill the repository. Only here can we find what we need."

  The car was still parked at the back door of the Golden Temple, and the back door opened. Master Fahua had already walked out with a smile, carrying a benevolent tone: "Master Ye has come to visit consecutively, indeed having a connection with our Buddha. It's just that our temple's scripture hall was renovated a few days ago, so it's temporarily not open to outsiders."

  This time Ye Yi didn't quibble with Master Fahua and said: "More than 10 people have died, I suspect there is a Raksha. You handle it."

  "Very well, come in then. As it concerns human life, we should open the door of convenience. Three discounts, 300 per person per night."

  I looked at this respected master with a sneer, seeing him twice and each time he must talk about the price. He really has the nature of being money-minded.

  Yi lazily counted out 600 taels of silver and handed them to Master Fahua, saying: "Sooner or later the Buddha will take you away to be a Wealth Dispensing Boy. I really don't understand why a monk like you is so greedy for wealth."

  Master Fahua didn't get angry, and instead recited a Buddhist verse: "Amitabha Buddha, in the Buddhist way there is no scattering of wealth for children. If I have the chance to see the Buddha with my verse, I will necessarily ask for a Buddha who gathers wealth to do it."

  "Shameless bald donkey, leading the way ahead." Ye Yidao said.

  Dharma Master Fahua said, "I have cultivated the realm of no self, I am gone, what face do I need to keep? Patron, you are being too polite. You come to our temple more often than you return home, why do you need a poor monk like me to show you the way? Please go ahead, patron, I won't disturb you." After finishing speaking, Dharma Master Fahua turned around and walked inside.

  Yeyv shouted at Master Fahua: "Today we have guests, don't be too stingy with the midnight snacks."

  "The Master Fahua's reply came from the other side of the door: 'All living beings are equal, regardless of whether it is Ye Shi Zhu or your friend.'"

  It wasn't until midnight when the night snacks were served that I finally saw what the 600-yuan night snacks looked like. They were just plain steamed buns and pickled vegetables, but at least each person also got a bottle of purified water that cost 80 cents wholesale.

  Hard work and a large pile of ancient books in the grand hall of the scripture repository. Two 20-watt white light bulbs on top of their heads shone with weak light, making the magnificent scripture repository look gloomy.

  I said to Ye Yi: "The Jin Gang Temple of Master Fahua must have a considerable annual income, right? This scripture hall shouldn't be too stingy with the light bulbs either."

  Yi sneered at my question, saying: "You don't understand that rich man. In fact, all the income he earned, except for the necessary expenses in the temple, was donated to charity or some poor college students. Otherwise, do you think I would be stupid enough to let him cheat me?"

  For such an unconventional monk, I can only sincerely admire his actions. Although he has been given the title of a money-obsessed person, his actions are actually very noble. So I put down my complaints and continued to flip through the ancient book in my hand.

  I found a problem, many books in the scripture hall do not have names, it seems like a big mess gathered together, you may be reading someone's secret history and suddenly turn to something else on the next page. This greatly increases our workload.

  It was around 10 o'clock when Master Fahua personally brought us a frugal midnight snack. Then, he accompanied us to search for the only words about Raksha here together.

  According to Ye Yi, his understanding of the Rakshasa only existed in a story told by an old Taoist a long time ago. He had once explained the Rakshasa's methods in some detail. And today, the reason why Ye Yi was certain that it was a Rakshasa was because of the three hearts in the refrigerator.
