Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling

Chapter 196 - 197: Car Accident

"Later, my friend said I should try chanting scriptures or something. I thought that made a lot of sense, so I started playing Buddhist Scripture at home. I even went to a temple to get a consecrated string of Buddha Beads."

"And you know what, Master? That method actually worked for a little while!"

[Okay, I get it now. His friend must be a semi-master himself.]

[He must have some real skill, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to give him so many ideas.]

[I want to know what the heck that ghost wants!]

"But the method only worked for a few days before my Buddha Beads broke. I went to get another string, but that ghostly thing just got more and more vicious. Before, one string of Buddha Beads would last three or four days, but now they don’t even last a single day. I’m terrified I’m going to die! So I had to find another master!"

[Listening to all this, I’ve realized this ghost is seriously vicious!]

[Maybe he did something taboo without realizing it.]

[I bet that’s it. Otherwise, the ghost wouldn’t be this aggressive.]

[This ghost is genuinely terrifying. Look at the poor guy, he’s already sweating, and his face is so pale. He’s definitely been tormented lately.]

"None of the masters I found were any good. I was at my wit’s end, so I went back to my friend. He said my yang energy might be weak and suggested I invite a few friends over to boost the energy and scare the ghost away. But I still dreamed of it."

"And I even heard the ghost say something like, ’So many people... enough for many meals!’"

[Holy crap, a man-eating ghost!]

[That would scare the piss out of me!]

[Damn, this is so intense! Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps!]

[My whole body just went ice-cold!]

"I was terrified. Even though the symptoms eased up a bit, I couldn’t drag my friends into this mess! I was completely out of options, so my friend recommended you, and that’s why I came to see you."

"Master, what should I do?!"

Zhao Lei looked at Su Nian, his eyes filled with expectation.

Su Nian asked, "What did your ancestors do for a living?"

"My parents are just ordinary farmers. It wasn’t easy for them to support me through school. I’ve already gone home and asked, but the problem isn’t from my family."

"They’re much more careful about these kinds of things than I am, so it couldn’t have come from them."

Su Nian nodded. She had already seen as much from his facial features; she was just confirming it now.

"Have you been to any strange places recently?"

"No, no! Master, my friend asked me all of this as soon as the trouble started. But I’ve been living a really quiet life, I haven’t done anything!"

Su Nian shook her head. "That’s impossible. A ghost wouldn’t latch onto you for no reason. Everything has a cause and effect. Think carefully. Have you recently been to any place with a heavy Dark Aura, or a place where someone died?"

"I haven’t..."

Zhao Lei’s face was a mask of confusion, but Su Nian’s certainty made him start to doubt himself.

"But I really can’t think of anything like that..."

Su Nian frowned. She didn’t believe him. The resentment from that pair of ghosts was too strong; there was no way they had attached themselves to him for no reason.

"Oh! The hospital! I went to the hospital, does that count?"

Su Nian glanced at the pair of ghosts behind him. They were a mangled, fragmented mess of blood and flesh. The smaller one’s head was tilted to one side. Su Nian had been puzzled before, but now, her line of thought suddenly became clear.

"But that can’t be it. I didn’t see any dead people there!"

Su Nian’s voice was calm, but her eyes were piercing. "Did you, by any chance, encounter a patient who was being resuscitated? A patient who was in a car crash, or who had fallen from a height?"

[Whoa, I’m so nervous!]

[What’s the reason?!]

[I bet this guy was being an asshole first, and that’s why the ghosts are after him.]

"Huh? Yes, yes, yes! Master, you’re spot on!"

Hearing Su Nian’s words, Zhao Lei, who had just been wearing a look of confusion, instantly began nodding his head in excitement.
