Li Ji was in a panic and quickly looked ahead.
The front was empty, and his wife's trace could no longer be seen.
He suddenly panicked, placed the talisman on the table, and frantically began searching the room.
He searched the room round and round.
"Wife, wife! Come out quickly, I promise I won't make you angry anymore!"
He felt uneasy, as if he were suffocating. He took out his phone and quickly dialed Zhao Yan's number.
Zhao Yan was currently training the Black Tiger General.
In the first stage, the Black Tiger General learned many simple commands, such as "sit" and "shake paw," which were not difficult for it at all.
Zhao Yan was training it in letters.
"abcde..."
Black Tiger General: "E-f-g-h-i!"
"Good boy," Zhao Yan patted the Black Tiger General's head.
Ever since absorbing the yang energy from the Yin-Yang Bead, when Zhao Yan fed it dog food, the Black Tiger General suddenly uttered a very vague word: "Meat!"
Zhao Yan was a little surprised, wondering if the dog's brain had developed sentience.
When she proceeded to teach the Black Tiger General simple pinyin letters, Zhao Yan became even more certain that the dog had reached an unexpected level.
"Sister Zhao, you have a call," Wu Jiaxin put down her camera.
According to her idea, she would post the Black Tiger General's daily life online.
She had seen many pet bloggers who gained a lot of followers by posting their pets online.
The Black Tiger General was certainly no worse than other dogs.
Just as she thought, the account [Black Tiger General's Daily Life] now had 100,000 followers, and fans urged her to post the Black Tiger General's daily life every day.
She picked up Zhao Yan's charging phone, unplugged the data cable, and handed the phone over.
Zhao Yan looked at the unfamiliar incoming call and was momentarily stunned, then she knew who it was.
She had only given her phone number to one person today.
"Hello, is this Mr. Li?"
Li Ji, while searching the room, said in a panic, "Master, please come to Qingjiang Shui residential area quickly. I took out the talisman you gave me, and my wife suddenly disappeared. What on earth is going on?"
Zhao Yan thought for a moment. The talisman she gave Li Ji was not for living people, but only for things with yin energy, to drive away evil spirits with yin energy.
"Okay, don't worry, we'll be right there," Zhao Yan said.
She turned and asked Wu Jiaxin to drive her to Qingjiang Shui residential area.
Wu Jiaxin said "okay," grabbed the car keys, walked towards the door, and started the car.
Zhao Yan picked up her bag and told the Black Tiger General to guard the house well.
Wang Xianzhi was old and had been driving all night yesterday, so he was still sleeping. There was still a person locked upstairs, so someone had to keep watch.
The Black Tiger General tried to speak, its mouth forming an "o" shape, but it couldn't say a word. In the end, it gave up and simply barked, "Woof!"
"Good dog!" Zhao Yan patted the Black Tiger General's head.
After getting into the car, Zhao Yan told Wu Jiaxin where they were going.
Hearing the urgency in Li Ji's voice, she asked Wu Jiaxin to drive faster.
They arrived at Qingjiang Shui residential area, and Zhao Yan got out of the car.
Li Ji was waiting for her at the entrance, pacing back and forth anxiously. Seeing her arrive, he hurried over.
"Master, please go and take a look. My wife disappeared after I took out the talisman you gave me."
"I can't be without her!"
Li Ji said in a panic and ran ahead to lead the way.
Zhao Yan followed Li Ji, asking for details.
From Li Ji's mouth, it was all about trivial daily life.
The elevator door opened, and she finally heard the้้ป.
"You mean, your wife saw the talisman in your hand and suddenly disappeared?" Zhao Yan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, she suddenly disappeared. I searched the room many times and couldn't find her."
Speaking of this, Li Ji blamed himself and held his head: "I shouldn't have yelled at her. She said she wanted to leave me, and I panicked, so my tone was a little harsh."
As Li Ji opened the door, a disgusting smell wafted out from inside.
Zhao Yan frowned, and it was awkward to cover her nose in front of others, so she forcibly endured the strange smell.
The walls of the room were obviously burned by fire, and the walls were black. Although they had been cleaned, the marks were still heavy.
Zhao Yan knew that this strange smell was not the smell of burning, but the stench of decay.
Many household items in the house had been burned by fire, and the shoe rack in the room was only half there.
She was very surprised that Li Ji acted as if nothing had happened, as if he couldn't see the burned items.
"Master, please help me find her properly. Why did my wife disappear?" Li Ji pleaded.
Zhao Yan nodded. She vaguely understood what was going on in her mind.
Following the smell, Zhao Yan opened the door.
Seeing the scene inside the room, she didn't react much. Instead, Wu Jiaxin behind her was startled, covered her mouth tightly, and retreated.
She saw a corpse lying on the bed. The corpse looked like it had been dead for many days.
Although it had been processed a lot to reduce the stench, half of the flesh on its face had rotted away.
Especially when she saw Li Ji enter the room, as if he couldn't see the corpse on the bed, he crawled down and looked around under the bed.
Wu Jiaxin looked at Zhao Yan, who raised her hand and said nervously, "He's not a murderer, is he!"
"Or he has a problem with his brain."
"Sister Zhao, this corpse on the bed shouldn't be a mannequin, right!"
Zhao Yan patted Wu Jiaxin's shoulder, telling her to relax.
First, she ruled out the possibility of Li Ji being a murderer. If he were a murderer, he wouldn't be so foolish as to invite her into the house.
Li Ji had no killing intent on him.
Zhao Yan suddenly remembered what Li Ji had told her before.
"My friends don't believe me, I'm really not crazy."
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan almost wanted to say, could this really be a mental illness?
But when she saw Li Ji back then, his state was very good.
Now, his frantic searching really made him seem like it.
Entering the room, Zhao Yan searched while observing Li Ji's behavior.
Although Wu Jiaxin was scared, with Zhao Yan by her side, she didn't run away. Instead, she quietly followed Zhao Yan and looked around the room.
She suddenly let out a yelp.
"Sister Zhao, this room looks very familiar. I saw it in a news report in Jiangcheng before."
"It said that a young white-collar couple had a fire while sleeping. The woman, to save the man's life, carried him out of the room, but in the end, she was exhausted and could only push the man out of the room with all her might."
"She closed the door, and the man was lucky to survive. The woman died from inhaling a large amount of smoke and dust."
"This room is exactly the same as the room in the news report. Could it be..."
Before Wu Jiaxin could finish, Li Ji, who had been searching, immediately turned around and stared at Wu Jiaxin with fierce eyes.
"My wife is not dead, she is still alive! She is still alive!!"
