Afterlife Department

Chapter 36 - Jing Yu

S Apartment Building, rooftop.

Jing Yu finally arrived. Unlike Hao Baiyun who was dressed in all white, Jing Yu was dressed in black. When he and Hao Baiyun stood side to side, they looked like the Black and White Impermanence. "I've arrived." Jing Yu said, his gaze only on Hao Baiyun. If one would have crooked thoughts, they would think Jing Yu has romantic affections to Hao Baiyun. However, the reason why he would only see Hao Baiyun is because one – Hao Baiyun's clothes are all white. It is extremely eye-catching at night. He looked like a ghost. Two, the police uniform is dark so the police officers – including Gu Xingfeng, blended into the background. Three, he has myopia, thus, his vision is blurred and he can only see Hao Baiyun.

He actually thinks the only present in the rooftop is Hao Baiyun.. Hao Baiyun wanted to face palm, but he fought back the urge to do so. "Jing Yu." He called and walked towards Jing Yu. He had always advised to Jing Yu to have his eyes checked and wear eyeglasses, or that he could also wore contact lenses. However, he always refused. It's not that he is poor. In fact, with the annual salary of those who are working in Supernatural Department, they could buy a private villa. But, Jing Yu always insist to not wear eyeglasses.

He has a pale face and he has a slender body. His hair is long and he ties his hair with a red string. When Hao Baiyun told him to cut his hair, he disagreed. Half of his face was also covered by his hair. Thus, one's first impression of him is that he is gloomy. If one wouldn't look closely, they'd mistake him as a woman. Every time they appear together, they would be mistaken as a couple. However, when one would learn Jing Yu is a woman, of course, they retracted their thought.

"He's… the assistant director of the Supernatural Department?" the police officer near Xiao Xie whispered. Xiao Xie was also shocked to see Jing Yu. With Hao Baiyun's striking appearance and imposing aura, they thought that the assistant director of the Supernatural Department would be flashy. However, they thought wrong and was given with a dull-looking person – the exact opposite of Hao Baiyun, as the Supernatural Department's assistant director.

One can't finally hold it and whispered to the person beside him. "He looked like a woman." he said when they saw his long hair.

Jing Yu didn't mind them as his gaze was just on Hao Baiyun. Gu Xingfeng was staring at Jing Yu, then he turned to Hao Baiyun. Hao Baiyun coughed before he spoke. "This is Jing Yu – Supernatural Department's assistant director." He introduced him to them as he faced the police officers.

The surprisingly slow Jing Yu finally noticed that there were other people in the rooftop and not only Hao Baiyun. He turned to face where Hao Baiyun is facing. "Hello." A deep male voice can be heard as Jing Yu loudened his voice unlike earlier when he met Hao Baiyun. "I'm Jing Yu." He said.

The police officers were dumbfounded. He has a deep voice?! The people who thought they will hear a coquettish voice. Gu Xingfeng saw his subordinates' thunderstruck expression and he broke the sudden awkward silence. "Hello." He said as he reached out his hand for a handshake. "I'm Gu Xingfeng, S City Police Station's chief inspector." He introduced himself. However, after a few seconds and there was no movements.

Hao Baiyun's hand itched, wanting to face palm when he saw Jing Yu didn't move and was still facing the police officers who have now strange expression on their face. Hao Baiyun forgot that Jing Yu has a poor hearing. Because of this, Jing Yu was always following his movements. Thus, Hao Baiyun turned to face Gu Xingfeng who has his hand still in the air. His figure plus the rain pouring down on him made him look pitiful.

Gu Xingfeng, "…"

Hao Baiyun, "…" I'm sorry to wrong you tonight.

The police officers, "…"

The next second, everyone saw a strange scene. Jing Yu finally turned to Gu Xingfeng. Then, he saw a fair hand in front of him. He took the fair and large hand with both his hands, then shook it. "Hello. You are…?" Jing Yu asked, but his eyes are still on Gu Xingfeng's fair hand.

Should I thank my skin for being fair? Gu Xingfeng thought. He was forced to introduce himself again. This time, his voice was louder. He is not dumb to not guess that Jing Yu has a poor eyesight and poor hearing. "Hello. I'm Gu Xingfeng, chief inspector of S City Police Station." He said.

"Oh. I'm Jing Yu." Jing Yu answered and finally let go of Gu Xingfeng's hand.

Hao Baiyun felt an incoming headache. His servant saw his bad expression and immediately walked towards him. "Jing Yu." He called to Jing Yu.

Jing Yu turned when he caught a familiar voice. "Fei Xuli." He said, his voice seemed to brighten.

Fei Xuli rolled his eyes as he opened his umbrella and sheltered Hao Baiyun and Jing Yu with it – albeit it's useless now. "Young master." He turned to Hao Baiyun.

Hao Baiyun rubbed his temple. "Jing Yu. You start now." He told Jing Yu.

Jing Yu's ear moved and he nodded after he heard what Hao Baiyun said. "Yes!" he answered and reached out his hand to the rain. When his hand caught a raindrop, he closed his hand.

Suddenly, everyone saw something magical. They felt like they saw Jing Yu wasn't touched by the raindrops. They can't confirm it since Jing Yu was wearing dark clothes, and that it was currently dark. He seemed to blend in the night. "Place them before the puddle of water." Jing Yu said. This time, his voice was strong and imposing.

The police officers snapped out of their daze and they immediately brought the four people who were possessed in front of the large puddle in the floor. The four people, including Song Mingfang, struggled.

"Mingfang…!" Xiao Xie muttered when he saw Song Mingfang's face distorted into an angry expression.

"What should we do next?" Gu Xingfeng asked, pressing Zhang Bao down.

"Make them face the water." Jing Yu answered as he took out a flashlight. Then, he walked towards the puddle of water and pointed the flashlight on it.

Everyone saw their reflection on the water, but since it's dark and everything that's happening right now is beyond their knowledge, they can't help but be scared. They immediately made the four possessed people face the puddle to get things over with. Doing so, the four people's reflection can be seen on the water.

Jing Yu's hand who caught a raindrop earlier opened, and a drop of water fell on the puddle, causing the puddle's surface to ripple again after the raindrops hit it. However, this time, the puddle's surface stilled!

Everyone can now clearly saw their reflection on the water, including the four additional transparent faces!
