Then, in front of more than 300,000 netizens in the live broadcast room, Zheng Lin talked about the strange behavior of his golden retriever.

He and his girlfriend Li Lili both graduated from 211 universities, have good jobs, high incomes, and a lot of free time.

One evening, the two of them went for a walk in the park near their home and saw a dog seller. Li Lili said she wanted to buy a pet dog. Zheng Lin thought that since they both got off work early and had time to take care of it, he agreed.

At first, the golden retriever was quite obedient and sensible, and even Zheng Lin, who initially disliked dogs, developed a liking for it.

However, one night six months later, Zheng Lin witnessed a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

That night was a full moon night, and the moon was particularly bright. Zheng Lin didn't get home until very late because the company needed to take stock of the accounts.

By this time, Li Lili should have already prepared dinner and be sitting alone on the sofa watching TV or playing on her phone.

However, when Zheng Lin returned home that night, he found the yard completely silent. The entire yard was illuminated by the pale moonlight, and he could not smell the familiar aroma of food.

Zheng Lin thought Li Lili was joking with him, so he quietly entered the house, ready to expose her prank.

He gently pushed open the door, only to see a dark figure standing beside his girlfriend's bed. The figure's posture was strange; it seemed to be lying face down on the bed with its arms wrapped around itself, and its head was strangely reaching towards his sleeping girlfriend.

A terrifying thought immediately flashed through Zheng Lin's mind: this dark figure must be a thief, and a thief with audacity at that.

Without hesitation, he roared, pushed open the door, and threw his briefcase at the dark figure.

There was a steel teacup in his briefcase. After smashing it several times, Zheng Lin did not hear any screams, but instead heard continuous barking of dogs.

Immediately afterwards, Li Lili's exclamation rang out.

Zheng Lin quickly turned on the light and discovered that the dark figure was not a thief, but their family's golden retriever.

He breathed a sigh of relief and cursed at the dog.

At the time, Li Lili scolded him for being too sensitive, saying that he shouldn't have been so fierce to the golden retriever.

The matter was dropped, and Zheng Lin didn't take it to heart.

However, since then, the golden retriever has not been as docile as before, and sometimes it will even bare its teeth at Zheng Lin when he and his girlfriend are arguing.

Even worse, once when Zheng Lin and his girlfriend were being intimate in their room, the golden retriever actually peeked out the window with a very strange look in its eyes.

Zheng Lin thought to himself that he would definitely take his Golden Retriever to get neutered when he had time.

Even so, Zheng Lin did not notice anything unusual about the golden retriever.

Then one time, Zheng Lin worked overtime until very late and came home. The scene was exactly the same as when he first saw the golden retriever's strange behavior.

Having learned from his previous experience, Zheng Lin turned on the room lights this time.

The moment the light came on, the golden retriever's lewd expression and venomous eyes startled Zheng Lin.

It seemed to have been discovered. The golden retriever didn't bark, but instead, it got down on all fours, stared, and charged straight at Zheng Lin at the door.

Zheng Lin was frightened by the golden retriever's human-like eyes. He picked up his briefcase and threw it at the dog, cursing loudly as he did so.

The noise woke up his sleeping girlfriend, and after this incident, Zheng Lin became determined to send the golden retriever away.

His girlfriend disagreed, asking Zheng Lin why he couldn't tolerate the golden retriever.

Zheng Lin felt wronged. He didn't want to scare his girlfriend, so he didn't tell her the truth.

In the end, the two compromised and decided to lock the golden retriever in a cage in the side room of the courtyard that night, which finally calmed things down.

Last night, Zheng Lin was scrolling through his phone out of boredom when he stumbled upon Chen Xuan's videos. He started following Chen Xuan and even watched all of Chen Xuan's previous fortune-telling videos. The more he watched, the more he felt that his golden retriever was acting strangely, and he wondered if it had become a spirit.

So Zheng Lin recounted his experience in Chen Xuan's live stream, and the girls in the live stream were so frightened that they started sending comments.

【Hey bro, don't even mention Golden Retrievers! I have one right next to me watching the live stream, and I just glanced at it, and the way it was looking at you was really weird!】

[Oh my god, why is my cat whining at you? It looks really angry!]

[You guys upstairs should really write novels, it's not that far-fetched!]

[Exactly! Dogs are so cute, how can you accuse them of being sentient? Besides, the idea of ​​animals becoming sentient is just a myth!]

[Right, everyone knows that animals are not allowed to become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China, have you all forgotten?]

【Brother Lin, I think you're being too sensitive. All the situations you mentioned can be explained. For example, it's perfectly normal for the dog to climb on the headboard when you get home at night, especially since you didn't put the dog in its cage at night. I think it's normal for it to scratch the bed.】

[Yeah, my dog ​​sleeps in the same bed with me every day, and this husky even snores at night!]

……

Zheng Lin's words sparked heated discussions in the live stream, with netizens offering various opinions in the chat.

Despite seeing these comments, Zheng Lin still trusted his intuition and felt that his Golden Retriever sometimes looked at him in a way that didn't seem like an animal.

At this moment, Zheng Lin looked at Chen Xuan in the live broadcast room and asked, "Daoist, everything I just said is true, not a single word of it is false."

"Do you think that if animals live with humans for a long time, they might become sentient? If they really do, would it be good or bad for our family?"

Chen Xuan understood what Zheng Lin meant. He nodded and said, "As the saying goes, chickens don't live past six years, and dogs don't live past eight. Once they exceed this age, they will awaken their intelligence through a certain opportunity."

"Of course, what I'm talking about is just an isolated case. Most poultry live their entire lives in ignorance, such as birds and chicks. They never think about why humans cook rice to eat. But if one day they start to think about this question deeply, then they will gradually develop intelligence and begin to imitate human behavior."

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Zheng Lin suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Daoist Master, now that you mention it, I remember."

“A while ago, my girlfriend and I were being intimate in the room when I vaguely saw a blurry figure at the window. At first, I thought it was clothes on the clothesline outside, but when I got closer, I realized it was my dog ​​clinging to the window, staring into the room with its big, dark eyes. I was so scared that I said to myself that I must take it to get spayed when I have time.”

Zheng Lin's words sounded very mysterious, and indeed left the netizens who had previously questioned him speechless.

After all, many people have dogs at home, and intimacy at home is something that couples can hardly avoid.

If a dog can actually think of peeping through a window, that already fits Chen Xuan's description of a dog actively thinking.

Zheng Lin continued, "Master, has my golden retriever developed sentience?"

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "That's right, and it's activated to a very high degree."

Chen Xuan's words caused a huge uproar in the live stream, and viewers with dogs in the chat became nervous.

That's human nature. If something doesn't happen to them, they'll just watch the spectacle. But once they realize something might involve them, they'll become extremely concerned.

Zheng Lin asked nervously, "Master, will it harm our family after it gains sentience?"

Just as Chen Xuan was about to answer, several barks came from Zheng Lin's living room.

Zheng Lin was startled by the sudden shout, and almost dropped his phone.

Just then, a slightly weak-sounding female voice said, "Honey, I'm home. Sigh, who are you video chatting with?"
