Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 64 - 65: Don’t Want to Move

Su Nian was about to stop him, but Xiao Qi moved too quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the pair of dangling feet had already tapped his forehead.

Xiao Qi, being the one experiencing it, also felt something was wrong. ’Why does it feel like something is tapping my head?’

’Could it really be... that thing?’

His mind went blank, and his heart leaped into his throat.

"AAAAAHHH!!!"

"Something! Something is touching me!"

The viewers in the livestream chat found it very strange. Xiao Qi’s demeanor had changed so drastically in just a second or two.

Xiao Qi leaped back in fright, nearly reaching the front door.

[I don’t get it. What just happened?]

[That’s so weird. What’s going on?]

[I’m so lost...]

Xiao Qi clutched his phone, on edge and ready to bolt at any moment.

The cozy little room was the same as ever, though the gentle breeze from the window seemed to carry a subtle disturbance.

"H-Host, what in the world is going on?!"

Xiao Qi touched his forehead, afraid.

"Is there a Little Ghost hiding in my house?!"

He was frantic, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Su Nian: "You don’t need to know the details. Just move out of this house as soon as you can."

But unexpectedly, the previously good-natured Xiao Qi was now as stubborn as an ox.

"Host, I want to know the truth! Now!"

Su Nian glanced at his little desk again. She could clearly see a resentful soul hanging by the neck, its body rigid, long limbs dangling as it swayed in the gentle breeze.

These types of souls aren’t necessarily evil. They died by suicide, their spirits trapped in their bodies, unable to leave.

As time passes, the memories of these souls begin to fade. They remain trapped in their bodies or at the location of their death, slowly dissipating.

Seeing that this resentful soul was still quite solid, Su Nian guessed that the death had been recent. This was likely why Xiao Qi was able to rent the house so cheaply.

"Host, please just tell me. If I don’t find out, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life."

Su Nian: "And what if you find out and you’re scared witless?"

Xiao Qi looked stunned, as if he’d never considered that possibility.

[True, curiosity killed the cat.]

[If the truth is really scary, I think it’s better not to know.]

[But it’s his business! He has a right to know the truth!]

Seeing some viewers sticking up for him, Xiao Qi seemed to find a surge of courage.

He nodded firmly.

"Host, I still want to know. I can handle the consequences."

Su Nian looked into his eyes. ’Such pristine stupidity.’

’You silly boy. Those viewers don’t care what happens to you; they’re just curious.’

After a moment’s thought, Su Nian said, "There are many things invisible to the naked eye that a camera can capture."

"Next time you get that feeling from before, take a picture immediately. It might just solve the mystery."

Su Nian’s words were cryptic, and Xiao Qi was skeptical.

"Without using talisman paper or anything?"

Su Nian shook her head.

"And I don’t have to worry about the ghost hurting me?"

Su Nian shook her head again. ’The ghost isn’t even conscious. It’s just trapped there, waiting to dissipate.’

[That sounds super cryptic.]

[If the camera actually captures something, I think Xiao Qi will die of fright.]

[So what was ’that feeling’ anyway? As a viewer, I’ve been listening this whole time and I still don’t get it.]

"Okay then! I have an old point-and-shoot my sister got rid of. It still has some film in it. Host, can I use that?"

Su Nian hadn’t expected him to be so well-equipped. But since he was willing to try, she didn’t object.

Camera in one hand, Xiao Qi began his experiment.

After a long moment of hesitation, Xiao Qi again reached out cautiously toward the desk.

But strangely, this time he didn’t feel that odd touch.

’Su Nian watched his hand wave back and forth right under the dangling feet. She felt truly exasperated.’

She prompted him again.

"Just sit down in your chair and play some games like you normally would."

Xiao Qi nodded, then double-checked.

"Host, this thing won’t hurt me, right?"

Not only was Xiao Qi lively and outgoing, he was also quite bold. After getting Su Nian’s confirmation, he carefully sat down in the chair.

He waited for a good while, but nothing happened. He just felt a bit hot and stuffy.

So he got on his computer and went back to his game.

[Xiao Qi, you’ve got guts!]

[I haven’t seen someone this brave in a long time.]

[Seriously, he’s not scared at all. He even dares to play a game. That level of composure is pretty impressive!]

He hadn’t been playing for long when a gentle breeze wafted through the room.

TAP...

Su Nian watched Xiao Qi, who was engrossed in his game. He hadn’t felt the slight tap on his neck at all.

Tapping on her desk, Su Nian reminded him.

"Can’t you pay attention!"

"Ah... Oh, right!"

Hearing Su Nian’s reminder, Xiao Qi immediately let go of his mouse and started concentrating.

With his other hand, he held the camera up in front of him as if taking a selfie. Before anything even happened, he snapped a few shots with a CLICK-CLICK.

The breeze blew, the feet swung, and this time, he clearly felt the touch on his neck.

You had to admit, Xiao Qi had quick reflexes. The moment he felt something was wrong, his thumb was already mashing the shutter button.

But he wasn’t prepared for it. The sudden, eerie touch stunned him.

He leaped up at once.

"Holy crap! There really is something!"

[What is it?!]

[He must’ve gotten it on camera!]

[But it’s film! It has to be developed before we can see anything!]

Xiao Qi rubbed his neck in disbelief, a sense of urgency building inside him.

"I’m too curious! I’m gonna go get this developed right now!"

Watching the not-so-bright, dimwitted Xiao Qi, Su Nian sighed in exasperation.

"What are you doing? It’s the middle of the night. Stop messing around and get some sleep."

"You’re right. All the shops are closed."

"So, Host, what should I do now?"

Su Nian: "Lock your doors and windows, stay away from your desk and chair, and sleep until morning. The photos aren’t urgent, but you really should move out as soon as possible."

’It’s true the resentful soul is unconscious and won’t actively harm anyone.’

’But sharing a room with it long-term will definitely do more harm than good.’

[Xiao Qi isn’t actually scared!]

[He’s so brave. If that were me, I’d already be on my way to a hotel.]

[I’m still kind of lost, honestly. I don’t really know what’s going on.]

Xiao Qi himself was a little dazed, but he answered honestly.

"To be honest, I am a little scared. But then I think about how much it costs to get a hotel room, and suddenly this doesn’t seem so bad. Besides, Host, I don’t feel like this thing has really affected me much. Can I get away with not moving?"
