"What are you looking at? Are you too engrossed in what you're watching?" My brother said as he stretched his neck to peek behind me. Chen Xuan didn't say anything in response, and I tried hard to control my trembling lips: "Brother... I'm hungry."
The man across from me retracted his neck and his gaze fell back on me.
"Koko, why are you sweating so much?" he said as he approached.
Large beads of sweat seeped from my forehead, and I struggled to support myself, about to collapse.
"Bro! I'm really hungry! I'm too fat now, always getting hungry quickly. Can you make more food today?"
If it's my brother, he would definitely go and make me something delicious right away!
Would he?
My heart mentioned the heart.
Upon hearing my words, he stopped in his tracks and smiled, saying:
"Brother will cook for you."
My brother looks the same as usual.
How could he not be my brother?
As he walked into the kitchen to start working, I quietly picked up my phone and sneaked into my brother's room.
The live broadcast room is now full of barrage comments:
"Still pregnant? How did you get pregnant? This sounds mysterious!"
"This brother looks pretty normal, should be no problem, right?"
"I have never believed in host! What kind of metaphysics can a slimming blogger do?!"
"I believe in Master Chen! Little sister, hurry and find it!"
"My family is from Dian Nan! My grandma used to talk about the dwarf tribe!"
"Mom, I'm so nervous! Is this a supernatural live broadcast?"
"..."
Chen Xuan leaned in close to the screen, helping me to find it together:
"Your brother has been possessed."
The light, airy words entered my ears, and my head buzzed, and all the hairs on my body stood on end. But just now, my brother didn't seem unusual at all.
"Master Chen, please save my brother."
Chen Xuan paused for a moment:
"Your situation is more urgent than your brother's, let's save you first."
"Save my brother... you must save my brother..."
I muttered to myself as I rummaged through the boxes, looking for that spirit tablet. My brother has been living for me his whole life. He has really taken good care of me, and I can't let anything happen to him.
"I saw it!" Chen Xuan exclaimed, scaring me out of my wits. My brother's room is very simple, you can take it all in at a glance.
Where could he be hiding?
I wear one earphone in my ear while listening to the sounds in the kitchen with the other ear. When I hear the sound of cooking, I feel much more at ease.
"I see him! He's in the wardrobe!"
Following Chen Xuan's direction, I found it. In the farthest corner on the upper level of the wardrobe, there stood a transparent little jar. I carefully moved it out, and inside the jar, there was a blood-red hairpin soaked in water. On the lid of the glass jar, there was a small spirit tablet.
The spirit tablet is not even half a finger high, and the whole jar is only the size of a palm. Fortunately, Chen Xuan has sharp eyes. If I were to find it myself, I probably wouldn't find it all day.
"Is this... a miniature spirit tablet?"
"Yes. The person attached to your brother uses this to establish a connection between you and the spirit."
I hold up the glass jar to examine it.
"What is this water?"
"That's your menstrual blood."
Listening to the sound in my headphones, I widened my eyes and felt my scalp tingle.
"This...this is clearly transparent water!"
"That's because your blood has been absorbed by the jade hairpin. It used to be white jade."
Chen Xuan said lightly, but it gave me quite a shock. I stared at the shiny red hairpin in the jar, feeling nauseous.
Chen Xuan continued:
"Menstrual blood is the most yin and filthy thing, perfect for nourishing the dead. Look at the hairpin, only a little bit at the top is still white. When it turns completely red, the thing inside your belly will come out."
I leaned in for a closer look and saw that the jade hairpin was truly exquisite and delicate. At the top, the jade orchid was about to bloom, with its blood-red petals half covering the remaining pure white stamen. At that moment, a stench wafted over... "Yue..." I retched twice.
I just remembered that I gained weight right when I got my period.
And my brother...
So disgusting!
"Ugh..."
Not just me, the barrage is also saying:
"Damn! Chen Xuan actually said something true?!"
"How did her brother get menstrual blood?! It can't be what I'm thinking, right?"
"I can't take it anymore, I feel like throwing up the food I ate yesterday!"
"Ugh... just throw it away, ugh..."
"I still don't believe it! This is too mysterious!"
...
Hmm?
I seem to not hear the sound of stir-frying anymore? Just then, my stomach suddenly moved, and a cramp spread from my abdomen to my whole body. "Ah... it hurts," I grimaced and curled up against the wall.
Chen Xuan also stood up in a hurry:
"Song Ke, you're about to give birth! Quickly take out the jade hairpin and smash it, then recite the words on the spirit tablet! Wait until its blood dries up and turns into white jade, then burn that miniature spirit tablet!"
I gasped for breath and glanced at the exquisite wooden spirit tablet, which indeed had two rows of densely packed characters carved on it.
Wait a moment?
Chen Xuan... How did you know my name?
At this moment, the kitchen also fell silent.
I casually glanced at the doorway, and behind the slightly ajar door, there stood a person! I held my breath and struggled to stand up against the wall. "Koko, what are you doing in my room?"
The voice of the ghostly forest drifted in through the crack in the door.
I broke out in a cold sweat and slowly hid the jar behind my back, afraid he would catch on:
"I came to look for something to eat, bro."
He gently pushed open the door, holding a shovel and a smile on his face:
"It's almost done, don't worry."
I obediently nodded.
We stood still for three seconds.
He just smiled and looked at me, showing no intention of going back to the kitchen. I tactfully moved my feet and walked out of his room under his gaze.
When I passed by him, I suddenly heard a voice saying, "Watching live streams too much is not good." My body trembled, and my phone fell to the ground.
At this moment, my mind is blank, and I stand still, unable to move. The glass jar hidden in my arms seems to be slipping out... I only hear my brother click his tongue and say, "So clumsy." Then he bends down and picks up my phone for me.
It's done, it's done!
He will definitely see Chen Xuan, he will definitely see the barrage!
He found it!
Should I run? As I was thinking about it, my eyes had already glanced towards the direction of the door. Just as I was calculating the distance and preparing to rush over, my brother spoke up. "Take it, why are you still acting like a child?"
When I came to my senses and saw the phone handed to me, I couldn't help but say, "Thank you."
"You're being too polite, aren't you?"
My brother ruffled my hair and then closed the door to his room. As I watched his back heading towards the kitchen, I couldn't help but feel a bit dazed.
Does my brother really have a problem?
Why does he seem perfectly normal to me?
"Quickly do as I say! Song Ke!"
As soon as the phone returned to my hand, Chen Xuan urged from the other end.
"Break the hairpin, recite the incantation on the spirit tablet, and then burn the spirit tablet!"
The sound of cooking came from the kitchen again.
Instead of returning to my own room, I went to the study because my bedroom was too close to the kitchen.
"Chen Xuan... Is my brother really possessed?"
"Song Ke, don't be deceived by him! He's just trying to keep you calm, he's not your brother!"
