“But starting from six months ago, she started having nightmares every night. She would always dream of that child coming to collect a debt from her, and she was increasingly afraid of light. From the beginning of wearing sunglasses when going out to not being able to leave the room, now she can’t even turn on the lights. Strange bruises would inexplicably appear on her body. I can sense that her body seems to be undergoing some kind of change, her personality has become more volatile, and she’s becoming less and less like herself…’
Tang Fei hesitated for a moment, then spoke up, “She’s becoming more and more like someone or something is possessing her and gradually replacing her.
She once tried to get rid of that thing.”
Tang Fei’s face showed an expression of extreme fear.
“But that thing would seem to reappear out of thin air. No matter how far she threw it, she would see it back in the house the next day. So, she locked it in that room. But things didn’t get better, instead, Xueqing’s condition worsened. I’ve tried many methods and consulted many masters, but nothing worked.”
Gu Ziheng furrowed his brow. No wonder for the past six months, MO Xueqing almost declined all public events and didn’t even attend several award ceremonies.
He initially thought she was just too busy , but it turned out to be something like this.
He had been busy producing a talent show for the past six months, and he neglected to notice earlier.
Lu Miao nodded, “This thing requires its owner to offer it their fresh blood every day. The higher the owner’s demands, the higher the price they have to pay, and its appetite will grow larger. Until the owner can no longer bear it and pays the price with their life. MO Xueqing’s career success in the past two years came from it, so the price she had to pay was naturally not small. She must have found it difficult to bear six months ago and panicked, directly cutting off the offering, which resulted in a backlash.”
“So what should she do? How can she get rid of that thing?” Tang Fei anxiously asked.
“In this world, getting and giving are balanced. If you want to obtain something, you must pay an equal price in return. It can be effort or sweat, but she took the wrong path. She gained great fame and fortune and must inevitably pay a corresponding price.”
Lu Miao looked at her, “I can indeed help her solve this problem, but the price is her career. Can you accept that?”
Tang Fei hesitated and looked at MO Xueqing lying on the bed. Although she was her manager, they had been like sisters for so many years.
She wasn’t considering her own interests; she just wanted to save her friend’s life. MO Xueqing prioritised her career more than anything else. She had already given up so much for her career. If she agreed to it, it would destroy everything for her.
Would MO Xueqing blame her when she regained consciousness?
Biting her lip, she said, “Is there no other way?” Lu Miao shook her head and, seeing Tang Fei’s hesitation, stood up directly. “This talisman can protect her for twenty-four hours. Take your time to consider. I have something else to attend to, so I’ll leave now.”
Her hasty appearance and crude disguise would pose a greater risk the longer she stayed here, exposing herself in front of Gu Ziheng.
Gu Ziheng was too familiar with her. At the moment, he was still in shock over MO Xueqing, but once he snapped out of it, he would inevitably notice something.
As Lu Miao was about to leave, Tang Fei bit her lip and spoke hurriedly, “I agree. ”
Encountering a true master with real abilities was rare and hard to come by. Perhaps if they missed this opportunity, they would never find another one.
If MO Xueqing blamed her after regaining consciousness, Tang Fei was willing to accept it.
As a friend, all she wanted was to save her life.
Lu Miao shook her head and turned to look at Gu Ziheng, “Cigarette.”
“Huh? Oh.”
Gu Ziheng realized and quickly reached into his pocket to fetch a cigarette.
He handed it to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao took it and gave him a meaningful look.
She had repeatedly reminded him not to smoke, especially now that his throat had just recovered. He needed to be more careful.
She had only asked him casually to test him. She didn’t expect him to really have it.
This guy really deserved a beating!
Gu Ziheng shivered inexplicably from her gaze.
What was going on?
Why did he suddenly have a bad feeling that someone had seen through him?
Moreover, for some reason, this master gave him a familiar feeling.
He couldn’t tell exactly where it was familiar, but he could feel it.
Lu Miao continued to reach out. Gu Ziheng reacted quickly this time and quickly found a lighter and handed it to her.
“Wine, raw egg, bowl.”
Tang Fei, who was at the side, quickly turned around and went outside to get it.
After getting everything, Lu Miao put the egg white into the bowl and looked at Gu Ziheng.
“Virgin?”
Gu Ziheng’s face reddened unexpectedly.
Who would have thought that despite being in the corrupted and chaotic entertainment industry for so many years, the young master of the Gu family was unexpectedly innocent in this regard.
Not wanting to delve into it further, Lu Miao said, “I’ll borrow a drop of your blood.”
“Oh.” Gu Ziheng extended his hand, his face still flushed.
In a flash of silver light between Lu Miao’s fingers, before Gu Ziheng could see clearly, he felt a sharp pain on his fingertip.
A single drop of fresh blood dripped into the bowl of egg white and dissolved.
Lu Miao approached MO Xueqing, removing the previously affixed talisman. Before MO Xueqing could react, Lu Miao dipped her fingertip into the bloodied egg white and quickly drew several talismans on her forehead and face.
MO Xueqing immediately clutched her head in pain, and the sound of a baby crying filled the room.
The eerie sound sent shivers down the spines of Gu Ziheng and Tang Fei.
Lu Miao set down the alcohol, placed the cigarette between her lips, lit it, and handed the lighter back to Gu Ziheng.
Then she took a deep drag and blew the smoke directly towards MO Xueqing.
The cries instantly became shriller.
At the same time, with a single hand gesture, Lu Miao lightly tapped MO Xueqing’s forehead.
In the extremely tense moment, Gu Ziheng couldn’t help but inwardly admire how cool Lu Miao was.
An invisible black shadow swiftly flashed by, and MO Xueqing slumped on the bed.
Immediately after, a sound of things being knocked over came from the room in the southeast corner.
LU Miao llung a cansman anu IL Ilew out 01 ner nanu towarus me uoor. Quickly grabbing a nearby bottle of alcohol, she scattered a line of it at the entrance.
“You two stay here and don’t come out.”
Then she dashed outside in a single stride.
Both of them were on edge, and all they could hear was the sound of the door opening and closing, followed by the clattering noise as if something was repeatedly hitting the wall, interspersed with the piercing cries.
Five minutes later, everything fell silent.
A creaking sound came from the living room as the door opened.
Strangely, neither of them heard any footsteps at all.
Goosebumps rose all over Tang Fei’s body, and she nervously looked at Gu Ziheng.
Who exactly had come out?
Could the master have been defeated by that ghost?
Shaking his head, Gu Ziheng gathered his courage and walked toward the direction of the door..
