The woman stood outside my door for a long time without entering. The old house had a gloomy atmosphere, which made her a bit scared. She glanced around and prepared to leave.
Just at that moment, I quickly opened the door and called out to her. I had run out of money, and she was my last hope. There was no way I could let her go.
"Excuse me, are you the owner of this house?" the woman asked, surprised to see me.
I nodded and asked her what she wanted.
The woman took out a copper coin and handed it to me. She said it was given to her by her grandfather. She came to this old house to find a Taoist named Su who could help her resolve a sinister matter.
I examined the coin and saw that it was engraved with the character "Su," just as described by my second uncle. It seemed that she was the one!
However, the woman seemed to think I was too young and didn't match the description of the "expert" her grandfather had mentioned. So, she looked at me with a mix of belief and doubt.
After she entered, she introduced herself as Lin Yiyi, a model.
A model? I wasn't sure which kind, whether an escort-type or a legitimate model.
Lin Yiyi looked at me, a young man, with some distrust. After all, there were many frauds in this line of work, and the chances of being deceived were high. If it weren't for her grandfather's introduction, she would have probably turned away long ago.
"Are you a fortune-teller?" Before Lin Yiyi could say anything, I immediately displayed my abilities. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to establish credibility.
Lin Yiyi was stunned, her mouth hung open in an "O" shape, unable to close it for a long time.
"How... How did you know? Do you know me?" Lin Yiyi regained her composure and hurriedly asked.
I shook my head and said it was the first time meeting her. I had just learned her name. I concluded that she was the third party purely based on her facial features.
Lin Yiyi had a pointed chin and a slim face, a typical fox-like face often associated with the third party, who tends to pursue married men.
Looking at her eyes like spring water and her willow-like figure, she fits the profile of a third party.
Being a third party is not a honorable status, so after I figured it out, Lin Yiyi felt somewhat ashamed and overwhelmed. However, at this point, she started to believe me.
"Savior, please save me!" Lin Yiyi urgently pleaded with me, almost kneeling down. It seemed that she had encountered a terrifying supernatural event; otherwise, she wouldn't be so agitated.
I reassured her not to be afraid and asked her to tell me the whole story so that I could help her.
Lin Yiyi nodded and said it all started a week ago.
Being a young model is not an easy path. It relies on youth and doesn't bring much money. Therefore, Lin Yiyi resorted to becoming a third party.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
The man Lin Yiyi found is named Li, a billionaire. He treated Lin Yiyi quite well, but he already had a wife. However, Lin Yiyi was only interested in Li's money, and she didn't care if he had a wife or not.
About a week ago, Li brought Lin Yiyi a Teddy dog, which was relatively large in size. Lin Yiyi liked dogs, so she decided to keep it.
But there was something strange about this dog. Whenever Lin Yiyi changed her clothes, it would stare at her with its eyes fixed, with a hunger and desire similar to that of a human. It particularly had a creepy obsession with watching Lin Yiyi take a shower.
Lin Yiyi wanted to give the dog away, but Li refused. He said she was overthinking it. However, just last night, the dog suddenly started talking, laughing in a sinister manner. It threatened to eat Lin Yiyi if she dared to get rid of it.
Terrified, Lin Yiyi didn't dare to go back home that night. Instead, she called her grandfather and cried to him about the situation.
Her grandfather gave her a copper coin and an address, and she came to me today.
After hearing Lin Yiyi's story, I furrowed my brow. It seemed that my earlier prediction was correct. Lin Yiyi had indeed encountered an evil force, and the problem was with the dog.
As the saying goes, "Men shouldn't raise cats, and women shouldn't raise dogs." It's not without reason.
This dog was likely either a spiritual being or possessed by some kind of "unclean entity."
"What do you usually feed this dog?" I asked Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi shook her head and said Li usually took care of the Teddy dog. She hardly ever fed it herself. Li would give it raw meat, claiming it made the dog more lively.
Raw meat?
I immediately thought of something and asked if the Teddy dog's eyes turned red at night and if it had a habit of grinding its teeth.
Lin Yiyi quickly confirmed, asking how I knew. She was puzzled by the fact that the dog's eyes changed color at night.
I slapped my thigh and said I understood. The meat Li fed the Teddy dog was human flesh.
Lin Yiyi didn't quite grasp the concept and asked what human flesh meant.
I smiled and asked if she had ever watched the movie "Dragon Inn."
Lin Yiyi seemed to understand and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. White meat referred to human flesh!
No wonder the Teddy dog had become spiritual. Animals that consume human flesh tend to become evil. If the meat they consume carries grudges, it becomes even more terrifying. In seven days, such an animal can wreak havoc.
The so-called meat carrying grudges refers to a person who was killed by someone else, and their corpse retains resentment.
Lin Yiyi was terrified, unable to utter a word for a while. She never expected that Li would dare to feed the dog human flesh. In that case, did Li commit murder? He wanted to dispose of the body using the dog but didn't expect the dog to become spiritual, nearly harming Lin Yiyi.
"Let's go and deal with the dog spirit. As for the rest, you handle it yourself." I was only responsible for the supernatural, not human affairs.
After learning the truth of the matter, Lin Yiyi seemed frightened. Her face had turned pale, but she still led me to her place.
She had a car, and we quickly arrived at a luxury apartment building. After entering the apartment, she opened the door cautiously, presumably fearing the Teddy dog inside.
Once inside, a large-sized Teddy dog immediately stood up and stared at me, emitting a low growl from its throat, sounding more like a beast than a dog.
"You audacious creature! How dare you bark at your grandpa!" I shouted loudly and then performed a hand gesture, taking out a yellow talisman and reciting a spell to suppress spirits.
Upon hearing this, the dog immediately fell to the ground and began convulsing, its howls sounding somewhat human, not the typical woofing sound. It was eerily unsettling.
Indeed, it had become spiritual, and it intended to harm people. I couldn't let it go.
Realizing that I had murderous intent, the dog actually kneeled before me like a human, seemingly begging for mercy.
But I had no intention of sparing it. The dog also realized this, but it didn't dare to attack me directly. Instead, it pounced toward Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi screamed in fear, continuously retreating. There was no way I would allow it to succeed. I stepped on its neck and had Lin Yiyi bring a knife. One strike ended its life, splattering blood all over the floor.
After the dog died, that man Li suddenly returned, carrying a large plastic bag filled with white meat!
"Yiyi, why are you back?" Li seemed somewhat caught off guard, his mouth twitching incessantly, as if we had discovered his misdeeds.
