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

Chapter 207 - 208: The Physiognomy of a Premature Death

"But I never thought that in that instant, that person would actually climb onto Shanshan’s bed!"

"Her voice was incredibly shrill. I just heard her say, ’Found you,’ and then she yanked Shanshan down in an instant. She was so, so fast. It only took a few seconds for her to pull Shanshan down. And then... we just heard a THUD, and then silence..."

The girl was sobbing uncontrollably by this point. Her eyes, already swollen nearly shut, were now bloodshot.

"By the time we realized what was happening and went to help Shanshan, the dorm room was already back to normal. That strange person was gone, and so was Shanshan."

"We searched and searched, and finally... we found out Shanshan had fallen from the building..."

"We’re so, so scared..."

[This ghost is seriously intense. Even I’m getting scared.]

[To just yank someone down like that without a second thought... all I can say is, that’s hardcore!]

[Shanshan seems so unlucky. It’s all so random. Don’t tell me she offended this Pen Spirit beforehand?]

"And now, that ghost is targeting us. It was only later that Ah Xue saw three words on yesterday’s paper: ’All must die.’"

Su Nian nodded lightly and asked, "Have you seen any other anomalies...?"

The girl named Ah Xue timidly raised her hand. "I think the water from my tap... it’s blood-red."

"I think I’ve seen Shanshan in the mirror..."

"I’m afraid to sleep. Shanshan comes to me every time I do..."

[This is so intense. These dorm mates have the worst luck ever.]

[You can’t really say that. It’s actually a good thing they ran into the streamer.]

[That’s true. This is Ghostly Worry we’re talking about!]

Su Nian asked, "Do you have a photo of Shanshan?"

"Yes, we do."

The girl named Ah Xue handed her phone over. On the screen was a girl with a bright smile. Though her features were ordinary, she radiated a cheerful energy.

’But how strange,’ Su Nian thought. ’Why does this girl have the features of someone fated for an early death?’

’Her eyes were clear and spirited, but her eyebrows pressed straight toward her Life Palace, and her lips were paper-thin—the classic signs of a premature death.’

’But even if she was fated to die young, shouldn’t she have died when her time was up? Why would she be targeted by a ghost?’

Su Nian paused for a moment. "What questions did you say Shanshan asked the Pen Spirit?"

"She asked what age she would find a boyfriend, whether she’d get into grad school, and when she would get married..."

’So that’s how it is...’

Su Nian understood. ’A person with no future was asking nothing but questions about the future. Naturally, the Pen Spirit couldn’t answer.’

’So Shanshan was just unlucky. In that sense, her actual time of death wasn’t that different from her fated one... ’

’These other girls were unlucky to be dragged into this by Shanshan. But the space between their eyebrows is bright, a sign that fortune and misfortune are linked.’

"Did all of you get guaranteed admission to grad school?"

[Whoa! Something feels off!]

[One ascends to heaven, the whole dorm gets into grad school.]

[Could this be a conspiracy? The streamer doesn’t just say things for no reason. I bet the other three did it on purpose!]

"Yes, we did. But none of us planned on accepting the offers. Ah Xue is going home to inherit her family’s estate, I’m going abroad, and Lili wants to get married to her boyfriend..."

Su Nian nodded. "That’s your own choice. It has nothing to do with me."

"As for the ghost, it won’t be able to haunt you for much longer. Take one of these Ghost Avoidance Talismans each. They will keep you safe."

"O-Okay."

Ah Xue still couldn’t accept it. "But what about Shanshan? A ghost threw her off the building..."

Su Nian replied, "She was always fated for an early death. It was her idea to play the Pen Spirit game that day, wasn’t it? Everything is preordained."

"If you’re that worried, bring me something of hers. If you all chip in some money, I can perform a ritual to help her soul find peace."

It was clear Ah Xue had been the closest to Shanshan. She pursed her lips and nodded.

[So everything really is preordained.]

[Since she was fated for an early death, she probably wouldn’t have lived long anyway, even without this incident.]

[I don’t know, I feel like being her roommate makes you pretty unlucky too!]
