Shen Xin shook her head, "No, it was them who discovered me first and sent vengeful spirits to attack. Your father tore apart that person's talisman and saved my life. Then I used pepper spray to blind them and set a fire. After escaping, I called the police to report them for holding a feudal ceremony."
Xu Ziheng let out a hiss.
"If they get arrested for spreading feudal superstitions, they'll at least be educated for a few days."
My eyelids twitched; the woman in front of me appeared calm, yet her methods were so decisive.
But what about Cheng Fei? Was he in cahoots with Chen Xi? Why did he initially try to persuade me to refuse the livestream?
I couldn't figure it out.
Then I suddenly remembered something and asked Shen Xin, "If that's the case, why did you hide the truth about tonight?"
She spoke in a deep tone, "A common man is innocent, but possessing something precious can bring trouble. My traits are special and cannot be easily exposed."
I was taken aback but quickly understood her meaning.
Xu Ziheng mentioned that people with Fetal Eye are rare, almost one in ten thousand.
Moreover, most of them have weak destinies and do not live past adulthood.
And Shen Xin had clearly surpassed eighteen years of age.
With her Heavenly Eye and a strong destiny, it was only natural for her to attract unwanted attention and be more cautious.
"I'm sorry for deceiving you all."
"It's fine, I understand." I didn't delve deeper into this and asked her, "So what about the Grievance on your leg?"
She crossed her arms and leaned back against the sofa. "It's nothing, you don't need to worry about it."
"Do you know how to resolve it?"
"Do you have a solution?"
Both Xu Ziheng and I spoke up at the same time.
She shook her head, her expression calm. "Didn't he just say I have three days? I will definitely find the truth within three days, uncover the cause of Xiao Long's death, and avenge him."
...
So basically, it's just waiting to die.
Xu Ziheng helplessly spoke up, "No, are you not using your brain at all?"
Shen Xin shot him a glare. "You're the one not using your brain. You're not that old, but you've dyed your hair blonde. If you were my brother, I'd definitely break your legs."
Xu Ziheng suddenly slammed his hand on the sofa, standing up with a furrowed brow. "You're talking nonsense. This is ash brown!"
?
What does it matter what color his hair is right now?
I stood up to separate the two.
I asked Xu Ziheng, "For something like this Grievance entering the body, you should know how to resolve it, right?"
"My master will handle it."
"Can your master help?"
"Of course. Since your home isn't safe and considering the matter of your life being exchanged, I was planning to take you and your uncle to seek my master's help tomorrow anyway."
I sighed in relief.
"That's good. Please sit down for now."
Then I turned to Shen Xin. "He will ask his master to help you with treatment tomorrow. But since you are confident you can uncover the truth within three days, you must have found some clues. Let's share what you've discovered."
When it came to serious matters, Shen Xin also became serious.
"Those who are hiding in the shadows seem to be searching for special fates and then coercing or enticing others to sign the Underworld Pact."
"What do you mean by special fate?"
"I can't explain it clearly, but I can sense it. You and Xiao Long, your souls feel very similar to me, but I can't pinpoint exactly how."
"So your plan is to find those with special fates first, then wait for an opportunity to catch them?"
She nodded.
But that idea seemed too idealistic.
I asked her, "Have you considered that since those people have the ability to cover up the truth, how could they be so easily controlled by you?"
Not to mention capturing them; recklessly confronting them could lead to losing one's life without understanding why.
She pressed her lips together and simply said, "I have my own plans."
I sighed.
It was clear that Shen Xin was holding back and hadn't told me the whole truth, but I also understood that if she didn't want to talk, asking further wouldn't yield any results.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's rest for now."
My dad was sleeping in the master bedroom.
Xu Ziheng and I spread out on the floor in the living room, leaving the guest room for Shen Xin.
Shen Xin's sudden appearance brought a lot of information but also more mysteries.
Moreover, since returning home, Ms.Xue hadn't shown up at all.
Cheng Fei was watching closely, and I couldn't help but wonder what connection there was between everything he was doing and Chen Xi...
The sky outside was overcast, and the air felt stifling, filled with signs of an impending storm.
I turned on the air conditioning in the living room and finally fell asleep amidst Xu Ziheng's snoring.
When I woke up again, it was already bright outside.
Xu Ziheng was standing by the window, talking to himself in front of the mirror on the wall.
"It's clearly not faded yet; it's not yellow at all."
I found it amusing and got up to open the window.
Ignoring the dyed towel, I nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, it's really not yellow at all."
He noticed my surprise, then cleared his throat and changed the subject. "You're awake now, but Brother Zhuang, you really sleep well. The thunder last night was so loud, yet you didn't wake up."
"There was thunder last night?"
"Yeah, and it rained heavily too."
Xu Ziheng moved away from the window and went to wash up in the bathroom.
I stood by the window, feeling the cool breeze mixed with the earthy scent after the rain flowing in.
I felt much more awake.
Just as I was enjoying the breeze, the door to the second bedroom opened, and Shen Xin walked out.
She yawned and, upon seeing me, said the first thing that came to her mind: "You sleep really well; such heavy rain didn't wake you up."
I chuckled, "Why does everyone say that?"
She looked puzzled. "Who else said that?"
I pointed my chin towards the bathroom; the sound of running water was quite loud, and Xu Ziheng's sweatshirt hem was swaying in front of the sink.
Shen Xin leaned against the wall, looking towards the bathroom. "That kid is quite similar to my brother, which is why I can't help but tease him."
I smiled. "I can see that."
Shen Xin looked out the window and spoke again, this time her tone much lower, "Actually, I saw Xiao Long a few days ago."
I was taken aback. "When? Before he... left?"
"Yes, I was downstairs at that hospital. He was standing by the window, and I saw him. There were two souls inside him; he was calling for help. But I was stopped by the security guard and couldn't get in..."
"What happened next?" I asked.
"The next day, I received news of his death. I should have forced my way in; it was because I hesitated that I caused Xiao Long to suffer."
Her voice was hoarse, tinged with a hint of tears.
I wasn't good at comforting others, so I just scratched my head and advised her, "It's not your fault; after all, you didn't know something would go wrong later."
"What are you two talking about?" Xu Ziheng came out of the bathroom, drying his hair.
Shen Xin turned away from him, wiping away her tears.
I could only chime in with a joke, "We were just discussing what color your hair really is."
Xu Ziheng made a face and said, "You guys are really boring."
He then sat down on the sofa and continued to style his hair.
Halfway through, he spoke up again, "Why do you usually stay in that picture frame? Logically, after a person dies, their soul should attach to something closer to them."
It was obvious he was talking to Ms.Xue.
I turned around and indeed saw the little girl standing in front of the coffee table, seriously observing Xu Ziheng's hairstyle.
I suddenly remembered something.
I got involved with that picture frame because of the live stream, and Shen Xin's brother also died due to a live stream. Does that mean that Ms.Xue is the one who caused her brother's death? And she had seen her before in the psychiatric hospital...
Thinking of this, I instinctively wanted to stop Shen Xin from seeing Ms.Xue.
But when I turned around, I found her leaning against the window frame, calmly watching the little girl in front of the coffee table.
She even asked me, "Is she a ghost?"
I was a bit surprised. "Don't you recognize her?"
"Should I know her?"
"Then you said you saw the ghost inside your brother's body; wasn't it her?"
Shen Xin replied with confusion, "No, it was a young man. I remember it clearly."
I stood frozen in place.
How could it not be Ms.Xue?
