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 glass 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 glass 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 bastard 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 shiver 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-shirt.”

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 shift. You must save her and her baby.”

Ye Shaoyang nodded but did not say a word.
