No. 5, Wangchun Road, Jiangnan City.

Shi Yan is standing here at the moment, this is a very quiet path, from the main road into a small alley, a short walk to arrive.

The location is very good, very close to the downtown area, but there is a rare quiet, quiet in the middle of the noise.

This is a wooden door, and there is a copper ring on the door, which is some years old.

I went up and patted the knocker, and there was a dull bang, and after a while, the door creaked open, and a young woman in her thirties came out.

The young woman was plump, dignified, and very beautiful, but there seemed to be a sadness in her eyes that could not be dissolved.

When the young woman saw Shi Yan, she asked in a crisp and nice voice, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"May I ask if Li Lina is here?" Shi Yan asked politely.

"Oh, who are you?" The young woman asked rhetorically.

"Honorary professor of my academy, there is something I would like to discuss with Miss Li." Shi Yan said with a smile.

"You're an honorary professor at the Academy of Sciences?" The young woman's face was full of disbelief, and she even covered her small mouth with her hand that opened in surprise.

Shi Yan smiled wryly, took out his professor card and showed it to the young woman.

The young woman looked left and right, but fortunately she didn't say that she was bought under the overpass.

In the end, the young woman seemed to believe it, and smiled humbly: "I was rude just now, but Mr. Shi is so young that he is frightening, so he became an honorary professor of the Academy of Sciences, and he is really young and promising." ”

"The Li Lina you mentioned just now is my sister, I don't know what you are looking for her?"

"It's about the disappearance of your eldest brother, our Academy of Sciences has recently carried out some research, and I am very interested in the case of your family disappearing every forty years old, so I want to ask her about something." Shi Yan begged for cooperation in the name of the Academy of Sciences, otherwise what was the use of him asking for this honorary professor?

When the young woman heard about his eldest brother's disappearance, her face was a little gloomy, and she said, "My sister can't stand this house and has moved to live in another place, only I am reluctant to live here where I was born and raised, so I still live here." ”

"Why don't you come into the house and talk." The young woman invited Shi Yan into the house, and when she entered the gate, there was a large patio inside, and the young woman invited him to sit in the big room.

At this time, a little boy of three or four years old ran out of it a little bit of a little bit and hid behind his mother to peek at Shi Yan.

Several Qing Dynasty armchairs are placed on both sides of the hall, and in the center is an incense case, and the incense burner on it is still burning.

On the wall hangs a figure painting, in which a figure in ancient costume sits on a chair, imposingly imposing.

After the two sides sat down, Shi Yan didn't say anything about him, and asked directly: "I don't know if the eldest sister has any other additions to your eldest brother's disappearance back then?" ”

The young woman shook her head and said with a wry smile: "We have also repeatedly tried to find out the clues of the eldest brother's disappearance, but it is all in vain. ”

The young woman paused and introduced herself: "My name is Li Lizhen, this is my child, my name is Li Jianqiang." ”

"Li Jianqiang? By the way, after your eldest brother dies, who will inherit this house. ”

"Our family has ancestral teachings, and this house is passed on to men but not to women, and after my child was born, the house was transferred to the child's name." Speaking of this, Li Lizhen's sorrow became even stronger.

When Shi Yan heard it, it was no wonder that this woman had been frowning, but wouldn't it be okay to sell the house.

After thinking for a while, Shi Yan asked again, "When did your eldest brother disappear?" ”

Li Lizhen recalled it and replied: "I saw him at dinner, but I didn't see him the next morning." ”

"Miss Li, can you let me spend the night here?" Shi Yan said suddenly.

When Li Lizhen heard this, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she couldn't help but glance at Shi Yan, how old is it.

Shi Yan looked at Li Lizhen's embarrassed and annoyed expression, and was a little stunned, the conscience of heaven and earth was all harmed by his cousin Yang Song, since he was focused on investigating his father's car accident, he basically had no contact with other classmates, let alone with female classmates.

So Shi Yan is a little inexperienced in this area.

But no matter how inexperienced he was, he reacted and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that." ”

Li Lizhen gave him a blank look: "Which one means?" ”

Shi Yan was speechless for a while.

Who knew that Li Lizhen smiled and said, "Teasing you, I know you want to observe here at night, right?" Fortunately, if it can be solved, it will be a big problem, but then it will become dangerous, so I will go to a relative's house with my children for one night. ”

Shi Yan wiped the cold sweat on his head, he was molested today?

That night, Shi Yan stayed in the Li family's mansion and sat in front of the picture of people in ancient costumes in the hall.

Shi Yan also asked Li Lizhen about his history, this is the ancestor of the Li family, it is rumored that this is a portrait of him when he was young, and he accepts the worship of his children and grandchildren all the year round.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the whole night was like ink that could not be dissolved, and it was far from the bustle, and the surroundings were quiet.

Shi Yan sat on the Qing Dynasty armchair with his eyes closed, but secretly paid attention to everything around him, in order not to startle the snake, he did not release red mist.

An hour passed.

It was quiet and dark.

Another hour passed.

It was still quiet and dark.

Wrong!

Why is there no sound at all? No, it can't be completely silent, at least the sound of the wind and insects.

Shi Yan felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to stand up, but suddenly found that he couldn't move his whole body.

How can it be?

When did the Word begin? I didn't even notice it.

The blackness around him seemed to move, and Shi Yan watched as the blackness around him moved in surprise, and wrapped him tightly, as if he wanted to melt him into the black.

Black seemed to have a corrosive power, and his clothes began to corrode, followed by his skin, then his muscles, all of which began to corrode.

Shi Yan wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound when he opened his mouth, and he wanted to move but couldn't move at all.

Two eyes suddenly appeared in the blackness of the surroundings, and their pupils were blood-red, eerie, and cold.

The two eyes seemed to be laughing at Shi Yan, admiring the demise of this human who did not know the height of the sky, and even more so appreciating the despair in the eyes of the human before he died.

How dare this tiny human deal with him? It's really self-defeating.

Shi Yan's originally desperate eyes suddenly showed a smile.

The red eyes in the darkness blinked, very strange.

Is this human being insane? Dare to laugh at this time?

Suddenly, a red mist erupted from Shi Yan's eyebrows, and almost in the blink of an eye, the red mist completely enveloped Shi Yan.

The darkness was also pushed away by the red mist, and the rolling red mist kept expanding, and even had the intention of wrapping up the darkness.

The darkness was rapidly receding, the stars and moon in the sky, the lights on the side of the road, all suddenly appeared, and the grass in the trees and the sound of insects in the trees also sounded.

It seems that the sound has returned, the light has returned, and everything is starting to work again.

The darkness receded rapidly, and the red mist chased behind.

Suddenly,

"Burn your calories...

The phone rang, Shi Yan stopped for a moment, and the darkness instantly dissolved into the night, without a trace.
