"There's a ghost!"
The voice on the phone startled the two police officers, sending them scrambling out the door.
Lan Jing's expression darkened. He suddenly felt something cover the back of his hand.
"Brother Lan!" Captain Liu exclaimed in shock.
Lan Jing waved his hand and said, "Madam, please do not leave this place. My abilities are not yet sufficient, I cannot see you."
"I will invite someone over. Whatever you need to say, you can say it then."
As Lan Jing spoke, he placed the phone on the ground and walked outside.
Captain Liu followed closely behind Lan Jing.
"Quickly close the door," Lan Jing instructed.
Captain Liu closed the door. Fortunately, his psychological fortitude was strong, otherwise, he would have screamed like his colleague just now.
"I'm calling someone," Lan Jing took out his phone, found Zhao Yan's number, and dialed.
Zhao Yan was drawing talismans with her Ice Spirit Jade Brush. Although it was one in the morning, her enthusiasm for drawing talismans did not wane.
Especially after her success rate increased, drawing talismans had become much more engaging.
"Sister Zhao, it's a WeChat call," Wu Jiaxin unplugged the charger and ran towards Zhao Yan with her phone.
"Who's calling?" Zhao Yan asked doubtfully.
Wu Jiaxin replied, "No caller ID."
Zhao Yan took the phone and glanced at it, immediately understanding. It was Lan Jing calling.
After all, the WeChat avatar was his own picture.
"Hello, Brother Lan."
"I apologize, Miss Zhao. I am currently at the police station on Sanjing Street in Jing City. I have a tricky situation on my hands. Could you possibly come over?"
Zhao Yan put down her Ice Spirit Jade Brush. "I can come."
"Thank you, Miss Zhao. I hope you can come quickly."
Zhao Yan put on her jacket. She thought about calling Wang Xianzhi, but then remembered he had already gone to bed.
"Xinxin, drive me to the police station," Zhao Yan said.
Wu Jiaxin asked curiously, "Sister Zhao, it's so late, why are we going to the police station?"
Zhao Yan's first thought was about the missing girls.
"We'll see," Zhao Yan said, getting into the passenger seat.
Wu Jiaxin got into the driver's seat.
Hearing the rear door open, she looked back and saw General Black Tiger climbing into the car.
"Sister Zhao, General Black Tiger is becoming more intelligent. It can even feed itself dog food now."
"Perhaps there will be even more surprising things in the future. Hurry up and drive, don't keep them waiting anxiously," Zhao Yan said.
As she spoke, she checked her backpack.
There were fifteen talismans in the backpack, which had taken her over ten hours to draw.
If it were in the past, it would have taken several more hours.
"Is this it, Sister Zhao?"
After driving for over twenty minutes, Wu Jiaxin pointed ahead.
Zhao Yan looked at the location on her phone and nodded. "Yes, this is it."
Then, she sent Lan Jing a WeChat message: "We've arrived, Brother Lan."
As Zhao Yan got out of the car, Lan Jing walked down the steps with a very sturdy-looking man.
"Thank you for coming, Miss Zhao," Lan Jing said apologetically.
Zhao Yan waved her hand. "It's nothing, Brother Lan. Did you call me because something happened to those missing girls?"
Lan Jing waved his hand. "It's not about the missing girls. I've already handled their matters, and the funds have been distributed."
"It's like this, I was about to finish this matter and go home to sleep, but I received a phone call. This call is quite strange; it's from the deceased Liu Hui."
"I feel like Liu Hui is still in the storage room. When I picked up the phone just now, my hand felt like it was grabbed by something."
"I can't see her, but she can hear me. I don't have innate Yin-Yang eyes, so I thought of you, Miss Zhao."
Zhao Yan pondered for a moment. "So that's what happened. Brother Lan, please take me to see."
Lan Jing nodded and led the way.
Upon arriving at the storage room, Lan Jing took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
Then, he turned on the light and retreated behind Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan walked into the room and first sensed the surroundings. She did not feel any Yin energy emanating from it.
She looked at Lan Jing doubtfully and asked, "Brother Lan, are you sure Liu Hui is here?"
Lan Jing replied seriously, "No mistake. If you don't believe me, you can ask our Officer Liu."
Zhao Yan said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but there's no Yin energy in this room."
She looked around the room but couldn't see any ghosts or anything of that sort.
"Xinxin, bring General Black Tiger here," Zhao Yan said to Wu Jiaxin.
Wu Jiaxin said "Okay" and walked towards the door, leading General Black Tiger in.
General Black Tiger entered the room without any particular reaction.
"Listen to this, Miss Zhao," Lan Jing took out his phone and dialed.
"The number you have dialed is out of service."
Lan Jing looked ahead. He had placed the phone there earlier, but now the phone was gone.
He immediately dialed again to check.
Zhao Yan raised her hand. "Don't dial yet."
She walked forward, squatted down, reached under a counter, grabbed a phone, and pulled it out.
"Is this it?" Zhao Yan asked.
"Yes, this is it," Lan Jing nodded.
Zhao Yan looked at it closely. Beside her, General Black Tiger barked fiercely at the phone.
Then, General Black Tiger circled around Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan noticed General Black Tiger's unusual behavior. She picked up the phone and flipped it over a couple of times, immediately understanding. She tapped the back of the phone with her finger.
"Liu Hui's ghost has entered the phone."
"Today should be Liu Hui's seventh day after death."
"Ah! Miss Zhao, you're saying Liu Hui's ghost has entered the phone?" Lan Jing exclaimed in shock.
Zhao Yan nodded seriously. "Yes, her ghost has entered the phone."
"It can't be reached now, likely because the battery is dead and the phone is off. Charge the phone for a while," Zhao Yan handed the phone to Lan Jing.
Lan Jing said "Okay," took the phone, and quickly went to charge it. The phone soon powered up.
"Then why couldn't she hear us when we spoke?" Lan Jing asked, confused.
Zhao Yan shook her head. "I'm not entirely sure about that, but I do have a way to communicate with Liu Hui."
"Please check Liu Hui's WeChat ID, and I'll add her," Zhao Yan said.
Captain Liu immediately checked and quickly found Liu Hui's WeChat ID, then sent it to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan copied the ID and added Liu Hui on WeChat, then waited for her to accept.
"Now, try calling again," Zhao Yan said.
Lan Jing picked up the phone and called Liu Hui.
"Ring, ring, ring!"
Liu Hui's phone rang. Zhao Yan placed the phone on the table.
"Help! Save me, he's chasing me frantically, I'm so scared! Help!"
Zhao Yan was stunned and exclaimed, "It seems there's more than just Liu Hui's soul in the phone."
