1032 First appearance of Jiangshi 2

---------------

With her brows furrowed, Song Yan turned on her heels and then headed towards the direction from where the scent of blood was coming. Her black heels clicked against the pavement as she walked in a hurry, as the scent of the blood started to get more and more intense, Song Yan's brows couldn't help but furrow even more. 

Soon she arrived at a juncture where a large crowd was standing, she would hear the sound of ambulance as well as the siren of the police vehicles. 

"What's going on?" Fang Yanli asked as she looked at Song Yan who looked solemn. 

" How am I supposed to know that?" Song Yan questioned back as the two of them slipped inside the crowd. With her thin figure, Song Yan was able to walk past the men and women standing close to each other while leaving only a small gap for someone to walk between them. Once she arrived at the front of the crowd, Song Yan noticed two police officers taking away a corpse that was as thin as a skeleton without the tiniest blood left. 

The corpse must have been left behind for a long time because its skin had gone charred black and even though there was a white sheet covering it from head to toe, a black hand was dangling on the side with dried-up blood veins sticking out of the skin of the corpse. 

Song Yan heard someone gag behind her while some were still discussing the condition in which the corpse was found.

" Do you know the heart of the man was taken out before he was killed?" A woman spoke to her friend with a gossipy hint. " There was a huge hole in his chest and his entire body was completely dry like a fire wood. It was really scary." 

" I know right," said the other woman with a shudder. " Who knows what's going on in the capital, this is the third death and yet no one has been able to find out anything." 

" This one was still better," remarked a woman with an eye roll. " The last corpse was skinned with all of its organs eaten. There was nothing left apart from an empty shell of bones left behind! How terrifying."

The three women shuddered collectively while Song Yan calmly turned on her heels and then walked away from the crowd. From the conversation of the three women, it was clear that there was a supernatural being on the loose who was sucking the life force of humans. 

Most probably it had to be a jiangshi! 

Song Yan's eyes narrowed as she remembered the Jiangshi that she had seen in City S. Back then she was doubtful that someone was raising that thing but now she was almost certain that there was a dark arts user who captured a Jiangshi and was now using it to create chaos in the world of humans. 

" This is not going to end well," muttered Fang Yanli as she looked behind at the crowd while flying next to Song Yan. 

"Sister-in-law!" While Fang Yanli was speaking to Song Yan, a voice suddenly called them causing the two to turn around and look at the young man. It was none other than Tan Guotin and beside him was Kang Kun and little Fatty. 

" Guotin," Song Yan stopped in her tracks and then turned to look at her nephew-in-law who was smiling widely. 

Seeing that Song Yan had stopped Tan Guotin looked left and right on the street before crossing the road and coming to a stop in front of Song Yan. 

" I thought that I would not be able to meet you until the day you left, sister-in-law," Tan Guotin greeted Song Yan with a smile as he looked at Song Yan with an admiration-filled gaze. " I am glad that we got to meet you before you left." 

" Sister Yan," Kang Kun and Shao Li Jun also greeted Song Yan with a smile. 

Seeing that the three brats were looking good and healthy, Song Yan couldn't help but smile. 

" Are you three okay?" The last time she saw them they were still suffering from the incident that took place inside the tomb. Especially Shao Li Jun who couldn't talk without stuttering. 

" We are fine, sister Yan," Kang Kun replied with an easygoing smile, though they were fiercely scolded by their parents after they found out that they went to the tomb and lost two of their friends, so they had to move on. After the college entrance exams, they all left country S and came to city S hoping for a new start in their lives. 

Tan Guotin nodded as he looked at Song Yan before saying, "Sister-in-law if you don't mind would you come to our apartment? Or maybe we can also go to a restaurant. We never thanked you for saving our lives." 

" Thats right, Sister Yan," Shao Li Jun nodded at Song Yan who smiled and shook her head in refusal, " There is something that I need to do this evening and I cannot be late." When the three young men heard her refusal they were a bit upset but Tan Guotin cheered up right away and said in a hurry, " Sister Yan, it is fine if you don't have the time. I will leave you with my number, in case you have a free day then you can tell us. We will treat you then."

" If it works for you, then all right," Song Yan nodded in response. 

As she was about to take her leave, Shao Li Jun suddenly spoke up, " Sister Yan, can I bring my little sister to your shooting location? She is a big fan of Brother Zhi Ming." 

" I would have agreed but the shooting had been paused because of an accident," Song Yan replied with an awkward scratch on her chin. " The shooting location is not fixed for the moment and no one knows when it's going to be resumed." 

" Why? What happened?"
