"Ah!" Li Zhiyi was startled awake.
It was just a dream! The dream felt so real that fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Zhiyi's forehead, and her face turned pale. She calmed herself down, picked up her phone, and saw that it was noon.
Everyone knows that midnight to 2:30 am is the most ominous time, as it is said that the yin energy is strongest at this time. However, no one knows that the same applies at noon. As the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach their extreme!
Li Zhi touched the jade pendant around her neck, knowing that Xiao Bai was still inside. Her heart was at ease. However, she rarely dreamed. People who dream a lot are usually those whose energy is weak or disordered, or those who overthink or are in poor health.
Her health had always been excellent since childhood; she had never even had a common fever or cold. In particular, the nightmares were clearly caused by a dream being invaded by a "soul-devouring" spirit. Such a spirit is not a good thing; it nourishes itself by absorbing a person's vital energy within the dream world.
Could this terrifying dream be a hint from his master? Thinking of this, Li Zhi carefully recalled the dream, trying to remember if there were any landmarks near the cemetery.
The place where the master was was a cemetery. The cemetery was very large, and it seemed to stretch on forever. To the left of the master, there was a tall tower that looked vaguely out of the way. Yes, it was a tall tower.
She immediately called Jiang Yu, who was investigating a missing person case. When he saw the phone ring, he picked it up and saw that it was Li Zhi calling, so he answered immediately.
"Jiang Yu, do you know where there is a tall tower? Or a building on a rooftop, something very tall with a big, round sphere on top?"
Although he didn't know why she suddenly asked this, he thought about it carefully and really didn't know where that building was.
Jiang Yu asked, "Besides the round sphere you mentioned on top, is there anything else?"
"Let me think... I think that's all."
"I can check for you. I don't really remember what you're talking about. It definitely doesn't exist in our city. I'll ask my colleague later."
"Okay, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, the scene from Li Zhiyi's dream became increasingly clear in her mind. She remembered that besides a tall, large tower, there seemed to be a large Buddha statue faintly visible in the distance.
Remembering this, she texted Jiang Yu again. Jiang Yu had told her that afternoon that the place seemed to be in Thailand, and even sent her a photo.
The photo showed a large Buddha statue sitting amidst the city, with a particularly tall tower in front of it, topped with a spherical object. Li Zhi immediately confirmed it was Thailand.
She was going abroad to find her master, so Li Zhiyi immediately went downstairs to tell Grandpa Gu about her plans. Although Grandpa Gu didn't want her to go abroad, he knew that she was in an unfamiliar place and that there would be many unknown dangers for a young girl.
However, when Li Zhiyi said that she was not going to play, but to find her master, Grandpa Gu had already guessed that her master might have disappeared, otherwise he would not have been missing for so long. Hearing that she was going to find her master, he had no reason to stop her.
She immediately called Gu Siyue, who rushed over from the company. Upon hearing that she was going to Thailand, he didn't say anything.
"Siye, you go with the girl. After all, Thailand is a chaotic place with poor security, not as safe as our country," Grandpa Gu instructed his grandson.
"Grandpa, I have a lot of things to do at my company." Gu Siye meant that he didn't want to go.
"Grandpa, I'll go with my sister-in-law."
"Nianzhi, you mustn't act recklessly." Gu Siye was a hundred times unwilling for his sister to go to a place like Thailand. He had heard that Thailand was a transit point for human trafficking. He couldn't control what Li Zhi wanted to do, but he absolutely wouldn't allow his sister to take such a risk.
“Brother, if you don’t want to go with sister-in-law, what’s wrong with me going? I can bring a few more bodyguards. I’ve been wanting to go abroad for a few days anyway.” Gu Nianzhi has always been willful, and Gu Siye knows that once his sister makes a decision, he can’t control her.
I'll go along for my sister's sake. "How long will it take?"
Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "I'm not sure. It could take a few days or a little longer." She was going to look for clues about her master, so there was no fixed timeframe.
She had actually planned to go alone, but Gu Nianzhi insisted on going with her, so after thinking about it, she agreed.
Gu Siye was a little angry. He had already taken time out of his busy schedule to accompany her, but she had the audacity to not even confirm the time.
That evening, at the international airport, the four of them boarded first class together. Fu Yanche, upon hearing that Gu Siye was going to Thailand for a trip, insisted on coming along.
Inside the first-class cabin, the flight attendants' eyes lit up when they saw Gu Siye and Fu Yanche. The flight attendants had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that these two men must be men of extraordinary status. However, the flight attendants preferred Gu Siye, so they kept finding various reasons to strike up a conversation with him, offering him drinks and snacks.
This immediately infuriated Fu Yanche: "Hey, what kind of flight attendant are you? Stop loitering around us, my sister-in-law is right next door."
The flight attendant had always dreamed of meeting her Prince Charming, a wealthy and eligible bachelor, on the plane. Seeing her hopes dashed, she lost interest in pretending to be virtuous, smiled, and turned to leave.
Then, while the flight attendant was handing out the items, she sized up the two of them. Gu Nianzhi knew that the woman next to her must be the one who had just called the man "brother".
At this moment, Li Zhiyi had already closed her eyes to rest. Although she was resting with her eyes closed, one could still see that this woman had an extraordinary temperament, and the gold hairpin she wore on her head shone brightly under the light.
The contrast made her skin appear like smooth, lustrous jade, crystal clear, as if one could see through to the purity and beauty within her heart. At that moment, the flight attendant's filthy thoughts were completely nipped in the bud.
The night was deep, but it wasn't cold on the plane; the heating was on full blast. However, Li Zhiyi felt a chill.
She suddenly opened her eyes. Some unidentified object flew past the window in a flash. Gu Nianzhi seemed to have sensed it too, and opened her eyes, asking in confusion, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, you rest, I'm going out for a walk." Although the flight attendant said not to move around unless necessary, if you really do walk around, no one will really care.
Li Zhi walked into the business class and saw a beautiful woman. To outsiders, this woman was indeed beautiful, charming, and graceful.
However, Li Zhi could tell that her death was imminent, but she was unaware of it. She walked to the side of the beautiful woman and stopped.
