Chapter 115 Adopted Daughter
Zheng Wenjie looked at the trembling body in front of him with a click of his tongue, his pale face covered with sweat, but from the beginning until now, not only did he not make a sound, his face was still as smiling as a flower.

Zheng Wenjie has already determined that the girl in front of him is not suffering from a mental illness, but is terminally ill. However, she is also a ruthless person with a strong will. At least accepting her will not make her a burden, as long as she is obedient.

Zheng Wenjie reached out and moved Meiyue's hand away from her leg. The porcelain piece had already penetrated deeply into her leg, leaving only a piece stained with red. He slowly pulled the porcelain piece out. Meiyue's body began to tremble violently with Zheng Wenjie's movements until the porcelain piece was completely pulled out and her entire upper body fell on Zheng Wenjie.

Zheng Wenjie opened his palm and pressed down on Meiyue's thigh which was still bleeding. The next second the wound healed and Meiyue's trembling body calmed down.

Looking up at Zheng Wenjie with cold sweat on her face, Meiyue raised her right hand and spread out her palm: "And here, Dad."

Zheng Wenjie felt a little toothache as he looked at Meiyue's face, which was pale just now and now had a flushed skin including the skin on her collarbone. He stretched out his hand and touched Meiyue's palm to heal the cut on her hand. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand to help her up, she grabbed his palm with her backhand and leaned her face against it.

Feeling the slippery touch on his hand, Zheng Wenjie had a deeper understanding of Meiyue's condition. She was so humble that it was pathological. If she got married in the future, her husband would probably spend his time drinking and carousing outside, and she would have to serve him humbly, for fear that he would abandon her.

Just as he was about to pull his hand away, he felt Mitsuki's steady and rhythmic breathing. After all, she was just a girl. No matter how strong her willpower was, she would still feel tired once she relaxed.

Zheng Wenjie put Meiyue on the bed and covered her exquisite body with the quilt.

The early morning sunlight poured into the room. Meiyue fluttered her eyelashes, slowly opened her eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling, and suddenly sat up. There was no sign of Zheng Wenjie in the room.

She lifted the quilt and found her smooth thighs without any blood or wounds. She stretched out her hands and still saw nothing unusual. However, Miyue could still remember clearly what happened last night.

Mitsuki walked downstairs barefoot on the floor, and the news came from the TV in the living room.
"According to witnesses, the murderer was a long-haired woman holding a pair of scissors..."

"You should put on your clothes first." Zheng Wenjie said to Meiyue who was standing at the stairs and staring at him without turning his head while watching TV.

Meiyue was very satisfied to see Zheng Wenjie. She responded happily, trotted upstairs to change into a white dress, and looked at herself in the mirror in the room, feeling fortunate that she did not impulsively choose to find a way to imprison Zheng Wenjie last night.

"Is it a wizard, or a monster..." Meiyue looked at herself in the mirror, her mind full of Zheng Wenjie's figure, and a smile from the bottom of her heart appeared on her face.

The sunlight poured into half of the room. When she was alone, Mitsuki usually stayed in a dark corner, but now she slowly walked towards the window, letting the morning light shine on her body, making her skin glow.

……

The news on TV was reporting that in Tokyo, two female high school students were stabbed to death by an unknown woman with a pair of long scissors on their way home from school. An eyewitness said that the murderer was a woman wearing a beige windbreaker, holding a pair of scissors and wearing a mask.

"Dad, what do you want to eat in the morning?" Meiyue, who had changed into casual clothes, hugged Zheng Wenjie's neck from behind and whispered in Zheng Wenjie's ear.

He did not deny Miyue's address. It was no big deal for a man over a hundred years old to have a goddaughter: "Aren't you going to school today?"

Seeing that Zheng Wenjie did not deny her address, Meiyue suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in her heart. She also understood why. She kept saying to herself that she was really bad, but she did not let go of her hand: "Isn't my father leaving today? Then I don't want to go to school either. I want to accompany my father."

Zheng Wenjie sensed that Hideki's family was packing their luggage, so he decisively took Miyue out to find a top-notch Wagyu restaurant, had a big meal, and boarded the Shinkansen to Tokyo with Hideki's family.

When they arrived in Tokyo, Miyuki followed him closely without saying a word or looking around, while Zheng Wenjie followed Hideki's family from a distance to their residence, a high-end apartment community.

They found a real estate agency and bought a house downstairs from Hideki's family. Miyue was very excited and took Zheng Wenjie to look at home furnishings. After adding enough money, they finally bought the apartment before dark.

As Miyue was busy preparing for the Qiao Ju banquet in the kitchen, Zheng Wenjie sensed the cold atmosphere of Hideki's family sitting at the dining table upstairs.

At every moment, the vengeful spirit attached to Saori is surging with resentment. In the field of vision that ordinary people cannot see, the entire apartment is exuding a thin aura of resentment.

Since moving into this apartment, all the resentment has started to linger on Miyue. After Miyue put the dishes on the table one by one, she wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, leaned over the sofa and said in a sweet voice: "Father, I'm going to take a shower. You have to wait until I'm done before we can start eating together."

After saying that, she looked at Zheng Wenjie with her sparkling eyes. Only after Zheng Wenjie nodded did she happily take the newly bought pajamas and go into the bathroom.

Miyue just felt that this was the happiest day of her life. She decorated her new home with the person she loved and prepared a homecoming banquet together, just like a real family. No, in Miyue's view, they were a family now. If someone came to destroy this home, she knew she would go crazy.

Zheng Wenjie could also see that unlike Hideki's family, the resentment that haunted Miyuki from time to time could not stay for long. Zheng Wenjie also had a deeper understanding of this vengeful spirit.

When thinking about the conversation between Hideki's family last night and someone mentioned the Polu Demon, Hideki was obviously in a bad state and found an excuse to leave the person who mentioned the Polu Demon.

After Meiyue came out of the bathroom with her hair wrapped in a towel and wearing a gray pajamas and sat at the dining table, Zheng Wenjie asked, "Meiyue, have you ever heard of the Po-Xuan Demon?"

Meiyue, who had just finished taking a shower, was like a flower in bud, revealing a bit of charm and playfulness, with a smile on her face and a happy light in her eyes. After hearing Zheng Wenjie's words, she held the towel wrapped in wet hair with both hands and thought for a while:

"I've heard that the Pakuro Demon is a legend that has been circulating in Kamakura. According to the legend, children have been taken away by the Pakuro Demon for hundreds of years."

"So parents will threaten their children that if they don't obey or do something bad, the Po-Xuan demon will come and take them away."

"But my grandma said that as long as a family doesn't love and rely on each other, the Po-Xuan demon will come to them."

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "That is to say, people use the legend of the Po-Luo demon to express their hope that the family will love and rely on each other, and have good wishes."

Meiyue put the food into Zheng Wenjie's bowl as usual, looked at Zheng Wenjie with a smile, and said gently: "Yes, we will always love each other and be together."

Listening to Meiyue's words with ripples, Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows and looked at Meiyue seriously and said: "Do you know how long I have lived? As long as you are obedient, I can be your father, take care of you and protect you." "I know, father." Meiyue gently interrupted Zheng Wenjie's words, looking at Zheng Wenjie with a gentle face, her eyes full of love: "As long as I can be with my father, I'll be fine."

Zheng Wenjie felt a little regretful. He should have been more careful at that time and should not have been covered in Ao Lie's dragon blood. Is this retribution?
"Tomorrow, I will take you to see a psychiatrist." Zheng Wenjie said decisively. In his previous life, social pressure was great, and both the poor and the rich would have various psychological problems. Psychology then came into people's attention.

Nowadays, few people pay attention to psychological problems, but there are still many psychologists. Especially in Japan, a distorted society, there are still many knowledgeable people who pay attention to the development of psychology.

"Huh? A psychiatrist?"

Zheng Wenjie nodded, not caring what Meiyue was thinking now, and continued: "I think your situation is a bit special. I can't solve your psychological problems by myself or by me alone."

Meiyue looked at Zheng Wenjie innocently and said aggrievedly: "Did father say that I was sick?"

"What do you think? In school, don't you find that you are different from your classmates?"

Meiyue smiled faintly. Zheng Wenjie's words brought her back to her childhood, when her peers laughed at her and bullied her for being the child of a murderer. I have always been different from them.

"Look at the smile on your face. Except for the first time we met, when I saw you crying, you have always been smiling. Even yesterday when I said I was leaving, you still smiled and ate dinner with me even though you were reluctant to leave."

"At your age, do you think your current situation is normal? Since you called me father and I didn't refuse, I should take responsibility."

Meiyue put down the chopsticks she was using to pick up food for Zheng Wenjie. The smile on her face gradually faded and she lowered her head. Her shoulders were slightly raised, making her look a little petite. Originally, she had a strong possessive desire for Zheng Wenjie just from looking at the things she liked, but Zheng Wenjie's words made her feel different.

After a long while, Meiyue raised her head, a smile on her face again. She looked at Zheng Wenjie who was looking at her seriously with his arms folded across his chest, shrugged her nose and said cutely, "If father doesn't eat it now, the food will get cold. This is what Meiyue worked so hard to make."

"I don't agree with what my father said. I am different from them. I am very smart. According to my teacher, I am a genius who will go to the University of Tokyo."

Zheng Wenjie didn't say anything more. At least Meiyue didn't agree with everything he said as meekly as she did in the past few days, which meant that his words were still effective.

"But father, shouldn't you change my name?" Meiyue looked at Zheng Wenjie with interest: "Since father has decided to adopt me as his adopted daughter, he should change my name, Zheng Meiyue?"

Zheng Wenjie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Meiyue and nodded seriously.

...

Hideki returned to the moment when he pulled out his grandfather's oxygen tube. He stared blankly at his grandfather on the bed slowly stopping breathing, followed by calls from outside the door.

Hideki looked in the direction of the voice calling out, and through the paper-covered door he clearly saw a misshapen, blurry shadow twisting outside the door, constantly calling out his name.

Hideki felt a chill down his spine and sat on the ground in horror, covering his mouth tightly and staring at the dark shadow outside the door.

Until the twisted shadow no longer called Hideki's name, but shouted: "Saori~"

Hideki suddenly woke up, broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head and looked to his side. His daughter Saori was standing behind him. She said three words to Hideki: "It's coming."

...

It has been more than a month since they came to Tokyo. Zheng Wenjie also took Miyue to see a psychiatrist, but... it was of no use. According to the psychiatrist, Miyue's way of thinking has already been fixed and she is very intelligent. If she wants to be treated, she must first have the desire to be treated.

Zheng Wenjie gave up taking Meiyue to see a psychiatrist. However, after spending more than a month together, Zheng Wenjie really felt like a father.

Ochiaisuke said to Shinjo, who was dressed as a Japanese monk, "That's him."

Zhencheng raised the bamboo hat on his head, revealing a pair of bright eyes. He looked at Zheng Wenjie, who was unconsciously attracting the attention of the women around him, with some envy in his eyes.

"There is indeed something fishy. I don't sense any spiritual energy from him, and there are no traces of spells or curses on him."

Luohejie fixed his eyes on Zheng Wenjie who was visiting the surrounding shops with Miyue, and said in a firm tone: "The investigation team has been investigating for half a month, but there is no progress at all. It's like a person who appeared out of thin air. Apart from knowing the last name Zheng, there is no clue at all."

"That girl, Yamashita Mizuki, is from Kamakura. Her mother is a murderer and her father works for a company in Tokyo. She was raised by her grandmother. After her grandmother passed away half a year ago, she has been alone. The report given to me by the investigation team said that what can be confirmed at present is that Yamashita Mizuki is now the adopted daughter of this man."

"By the way, this man once made an appointment with a psychiatrist for Yamashita Mizuki. The investigation team's report specifically stated that Yamashita Mizuki suffered from a mental illness, but the details were not clear. The psychiatrist was very professional and did not explain the condition."

"This man is no different from a normal person except that he exudes a unique charm that attracts women. He has been very honest in the past half month. Apart from taking his adopted daughter out for fun and shopping, he has not socialized at all. Many external affairs are handled by his adopted daughter, Yamashita Mitsuki."

"But this also shows that this man is very abnormal. In addition, the slit-mouthed woman also appears in this area, so our superiors also gave us the task of dealing with this man."

Ochiaisuke told Shinshin everything he knew. They belonged to a special department set up by the Japanese government. Usually, an exorcist and a civil servant were paired up to deal with special incidents in Japan.

Zhensheng didn't say anything, his eyes followed Zheng Wenjie's movements until Zheng Wenjie and his partner left his sight. Then he pulled down his bamboo hat and whispered to Luohejie: ​​"We haven't found any traces of the slit-mouthed woman yet, let's go visit this man first."

Ochiaisuke nodded: "Although the slit-mouthed woman is elusive, the investigation team has found important clues. In a few days, we will be able to find out where the slit-mouthed woman is hiding."
