Chapter 153 Who Had Been Possessed

Ye Shaoyang got a call from Zhou Jingru before he went to bed . She asked about his current situation and Ye Shaoyang briefly told her everything . After listening, Zhou Jingru advised him to be more cautious in his actions and told him, “Big Brother Shaoyang, you must call me if you need my help . ”

“Alright . ”

Ye Shaoyang felt that it was nice to have someone concerned about him . He felt warm .

“Oh ya, that loli--no . Tan Xiaohui, has she come back from Sichuan?”

Ye Shaoyang stuck out his tongue . Xiao Ma always referred to Tan Xiaohui as a lolita and he almost got used to thinking of her that way . He nearly said lolita to Zhou Jingru .

Luckily, Zhou Jingru did not hear it .

“That’s the reason I called you tonight . She will be coming back tomorrow . Do you need her help?”

“It doesn’t matter . ” Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he continued, “You can bring her to Xie Yuqing . See if she knows the Gu master . If not, she can learn more about him and help Xie Yuqing catch him and investigate Madam Chee’s Temple . Tell her to call me if she has any important information . ”

Zhou Jingru replied to Ye Shaoyang with an okay . Then, she urged Ye Shaoyang again to be more careful before she hung up .

In the morning, Ye Shaoyang went to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the hospital alone while Xiao Ma went to buy things .

The doctor-in-charge welcomed Ye Shaoyang warmly when he stepped into the department . Today was the first time that no female corpse with makeup appeared in the operation theater for over two weeks . Everyone knew this was because the head of the department, Director Zheng, had hired Ye Shaoyang .

“Wow, this young sorcerer is so handsome . ”

Ye Shaoyang looked over the voice of exclaim in admiration . He saw at least four to five nurses staring at him through the transparent gla.s.s of the nurse duty room . He blushed, hung his head, and quickly followed the footsteps of the doctor-in-charge . The doctor-in-charge poured a gla.s.s of water when they reached his office . After a short talk, he complied with Ye Shaoyang’s arrangement and ordered Xu Yajuan to his office .

Xiao Ma reached the office not long after the arrival of Xu Yajuan . He nodded to Ye Shaoyang and said nothing .

“Big Brother Shaoyang, a lot of my colleagues asked for your contact number since they know we are friends . They want you to read their facial features and predict their fortune . Should I give it to them?”

Ye Shaoyang felt awkward and scratched his head . Before he could reply, Xiao Ma spoke to Xu Yajuan, “Little Ye is busy . Let me do the job . I know to tell a person’s fortune by knowing their Bazi and…”

Ye Shaoyang’s eyes rolled up . This b.a.s.t.a.r.d didn’t have the skills but could say all the Daoist terms correctly . Ye Shaoyang had no idea where he learned all of them .

Ye Shaoyang then gave a dry cough, “Stop talking nonsense . We’re here for a serious matter . Xu Yajuan, do you know how many mothers are pending labor now? I mean those who have stayed in the ward . ”

Xu Yajuan paused and asked, “Why do you want to know?”

Ye Shaoyang explained, “The underworld midwife will choose a suitable baby from those mothers who are pending labor . The chosen baby will have a talent for cultivating after the baby becomes an infant spirit . The underworld midwife will leave her spirit Qi as a mark on the mother’s forehead .

“The mark won't affect the growth of the baby . Its purpose is to indicate that the baby belongs to her so that other spirits and demons won't take the baby . My divine eye can see the mark . Once I confirm the next victim, there is a high chance I can find her . ”

Xu Yajuan thought for a moment, as she frowned, “Will she show herself up if she has already known you are going to catch her?”

“It's very likely . It’s not easy to find a suitable baby . She knows sorcerers won’t enter the labor room, so she can easily capture the soul . After she has, she will possess one of the medical staff and escape .

“As I mentioned previously, she is good at making herself invisible . Once she possesses someone, it will be challenging for us to spot her as not even my divine eye can see her . She has nothing to fear . She doesn’t need to give up on capturing the soul because of my existence . ”

A s.h.i.+ver ran down Xu Yajuan’s spine after listening, “Big Brother Shaoyang, your words frightened me . I’m a nurse in the labor room too . ”

Ye Shaoyang smiled, “Don’t worry . If I’m not mistaken, the underworld midwife has already possessed a person . Otherwise, I should have detected her existence . ”

Ye Shaoyang’s words stunned Xiao Ma and Xu Yajuan .

“Will there be any unusual look from the outer appearance of the person she has possessed?” asked Xu Yajuan in a trembling voice .

“It’s difficult to distinguish, but there is one way to guess who she has possessed . ” Ye Shaoyang looked at the two of them as he continued, “Don’t forget the Five Spirit Mountain Moving Formation restricts the underworld midwife’s range of movement . According to my inference, the range of the formation is the whole hospital . So, if any doctor or nurse from your department can’t leave the main gate of this hospital, the person must be under the underworld midwife’s possession . ”

When Ye Shaoyang had finished, he looked at Xu Yajuan and gave her a solemn nod .

Xu Yajuan took a deep breath, “A lot of us who are single, like me, will stay in the hostel rooms and rarely go out . ”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head, “Last time doesn’t count . The underworld midwife will not specifically possess a person . I have an idea, but I need your help . ”

Ye Shaoyang then whispered his plan to Xu Yajuan . She nodded as she listened to his plan .

“But I thought you said that you can’t do anything even if you know the underworld midwife captures a soul in the labor room . ”

“I can’t do anything because I can’t differentiate the underworld midwife from others if she mixes in a group of people . Now, I’m trying to find her out with this new idea, then I’ll…” Ye Shaoyang smiled, “It’s still early . Let’s go to the labor room . ”

Xu Yajuan informed the matron that Ye Shaoyang planned to pay a visit to the labor room . The matron did not ask further due to Director Zheng’s order to cooperate . She told Xu Yajuan to escort him .

Ye Shaoyang asked Xiao Ma to stay . Then, he followed Xu Yajuan to visit every patient in the labor room . They walked and did not talk . Ye Shaoyang pretended to look at the faces of those mothers-to-be inadvertently and exited their rooms .

There were five labor rooms in total . In each labor room, there were three beds . Currently, fifteen pregnant women were waiting to go into labor . Ye Shaoyang had seen the thirteen of them, which left the two pregnant women who had gone to the toilet .

“How’s it?” Xu Yajuan hurriedly asked once she and Ye Shaoyang reached the stairs .

Ye Shaoyang shook his head . Before he could answer Xu Yajuan, he saw two pregnant women come out from a toilet . He stared at one of them with his eyes wide open .

He gazed after the two pregnant women who went into the labor room . Then, he lowered his voice and spoke to Xu Yajuan, “It’s one of them . ”

Xu Yajuan asked, “Which one?”

“The pregnant woman with the yellow t-s.h.i.+rt . ”

Xu Yajuan paused for a while before she continued, “Her name is Shao Juan . The other pregnant woman beside her is Zhou Xiaona . It’s such a coincidence . Both of them are going for cesarean sections tomorrow at the same time . ”

“Did they purposely schedule the operations on the same day?” asked Ye Shaoyang .

“Yes, they’re friends . They got pregnant at almost the same time . They purposely stayed in the same labor room and promised to get their cesarean sections together . They said the first baby born would be the big brother or big sister . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded, “Are you helping them deliver tomorrow?”

“I’m helping with Zhou Xiaona’s,” Xu Yajuan let out a breath of relief, “Luckily I’m not helping with Shao Juan’s . I’m afraid I’ll be too nervous during the operation because I already know the truth . ”

When Xu Yajuan said that, she frowned and held Ye Shaoyang’s arm, “Big Brother Shaoyang, Shao Juan is a good person . She even ordered food to be delivered to me during my night s.h.i.+ft . You must save her and her baby . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded but did not say a word .
