The man in the robe left, and another man in a worn gray robe approached.
"Want a fortune telling?"
The man wore sunglasses and a mask, making it hard to see his face.
"How much?"
"Thirty."
"That's quite expensive."
"Thirty dollars isn't too much," the man said. "You've recently encountered a Blood Disaster; I can help you dispel the Evil Energy and also take a look at your romantic prospects."
"Is it really that effective?"
I sized him up, but I felt a bit skeptical.
The man looked to be in his early twenties. Could he really be good at fortune telling?
"You’re being haunted by a female ghost, right?"
I was taken aback. "How do you know that?"
"I also know she’s not very old, only about five or six years old."
I swallowed hard, feeling a chill run down my spine.
He was completely right!
"What can I do to get rid of her?"
"That's simple," the man said. "For thirty dollars, I can help you dispel the Evil Energy."
I took out my wallet and handed a hundred dollars to the man. "No need for change; just help me resolve this matter completely."
The man accepted the money and said, "Alright."
He asked for my date of birth, then pulled out his phone as if calculating something.
"I don't remember my Ba Zi," I said.
"That's fine," the man replied. "It won't affect anything."
"Okay." The man handed me a piece of folded red paper shaped like a triangle. "This is a talisman; keep it with you for seven days."
I took the red paper and opened it to take a quick look.
There were a series of symbols on the red paper that I couldn't understand.
"Does this thing really work?" I expressed my doubts.
The man smiled. "Whether it works or not, you'll find out in a few days."
I thought for a moment and asked him, "By the way, what should I do about the photo frame?"
"What photo frame?"
I recounted everything that happened last night to the man.
After listening, he looked at me with an expression that wasn't very pleasant.
"What were you doing at a haunted house?"
"I..."
"Is that place somewhere you can go?"
"I..."
"You brought this trouble upon yourself. Can you blame me now?"
"I..."
The more I listened, the more uneasy I felt.
"What do you mean?"
"Give me back the amulet." The man extended his hand. "I'll refund your money, but I can't handle this matter."
I was taken aback.
How could this person go back on his word?
"Are you saying your word doesn't count?"
"It was you who first went back on your word."
"What do you mean I went back on my word?"
"You know what you've done."
"I don't know!" I snapped. "What did I do?"
The man looked at me and sighed.
"This matter could have been salvaged, but you insisted on going after that picture frame. Now look, the cause and effect are all messed up, and it's too late for regrets."
"You... what are you talking about?"
"I'm saying you've gotten yourself into big trouble."
"Then... what should I do now?"
"Figure it out yourself."
After the man said this, he turned and walked away.
I stood there, trembling with anger.
How could there be such a person in this world?
He took my money without doing anything, and then blamed me!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, feeling a tightness in my chest.
At that moment, something suddenly flashed through my mind.
Last week, Liu Jinxie had me sign a contract.
I hadn't looked at it closely at the time, but now I realized that the contract seemed to hide some secrets.
I must go find him and ask him for clarification in person.
