After Being Abandoned, I Relied on Metaphysics Live Streaming to Skyrocket to Fame

When the powerful Ming Zhuo woke up, she found herself an abandoned orphan about to be publicly disowned by a wealthy family on a show. Someone told her that her biological mother was a delicate mo...

Chapter 278 Empathy

Wu Jiao took those people away, and before leaving, he thanked Ming Zhuo warmly in front of his subordinates.

He said that seeing the evil deeds of Wu Guocan and others made them realize the harm caused by those who make wishes, and that a special task force would be set up to investigate.

Finally, let's sing your praises again, to show that you have once again performed a great service to the Taoist community!

He just got off the wishing train a few days ago, and without even taking a break, he's already busy saving lives again. He's truly a man of high moral character and noble conduct!

Only after Wu Jiao left did Xianze dare to show himself.

He scratched his head. "That person was so obsequious!"

He Wangyao nodded, "He's not just a sycophant, he's practically a brainless fan of our boss."

Pei Di felt the pressure. "Another one wants to be my boss's lackey? He's so old, isn't he unsuitable?"

Li Wenhe: "Don't say that about Dean Wu."

A faint smile played at the corners of her lips.

He Wangyao looked at him and felt completely relieved. The boss was back; he finally didn't seem so gloomy anymore.

To put it simply, over the past six months, he had watched Li Wenhe grow more and more taciturn and sinister each day, which terrified him.

This is not a good sign; in novels, it's usually a precursor to a character turning evil!

Thankfully, the boss is back.

Only after Mingzhuo and the others left did they take out the wooden puppet.

He Wangyao, unaware that Shen Ruodi had been there, asked curiously, "What was wrong with that person just now? Why did he suddenly act like that?"

“He’s been under some kind of illusion,” Mingzhuo said calmly. “He’s taken out his most prized creation and put it on his own body to experience. This is just the beginning.”

He Wangyao felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of the blood-soaked figure from earlier. "Is this just the beginning?"

Ming Zhuo: "Besides casting evil spells on me, he also killed his two children with his own hands, indirectly causing those cultivators to become living dead—he will also experience the pain those people suffered before they died."

Li Wenhe looked over upon hearing this.

Mingzhuo said calmly, "This illusion cannot be dispelled; it is imprinted on the soul. In the Shadowmoon Clan, it is usually used against the most heinous criminals. They believe that it is too easy to let bad people die so easily; it is only fair that they experience the suffering of the victims."

She tapped the puppet lightly with her finger. "This kind of illusion is called empathy."

Does true empathy exist in the world? Probably not.

However, this illusion can recreate the suffering of the victim and turn back on the perpetrator.

Although this technique is somewhat sinister, it is not a harmful spell. It is only effective against those who have done evil. As the saying goes, every sip and every bite is preordained, and even the most powerful sorcerer would find it difficult to break free.

However, she doesn't have the ability to perform Cinema 3, so theoretically she shouldn't have this procedure.

She suspected that Shen Ruodi had done something to it.

"That's good. In the future, if we catch a bad guy, we can send the puppet to experience the feeling again," Xianze said with great interest.

He always felt that the style of this illusion had a distinct personal touch, like someone's style... He turned his gaze to Mingzhuo.

Seeing her calm expression, I decided it was best not to say anything.

He Wangyao reached out and touched the puppet. "I didn't expect this thing to be so powerful."

Then he froze.

Strange, is it the lighting or is he seeing things? Why does it feel like the puppet is glaring at him?

——

On Sunday, Mingzhuo went downstairs for breakfast.

Ruan Mingying noticed her puppet immediately, "This little guy is back?"

She thought for a moment, then got up, filled a bowl with more seafood porridge, and arranged various breakfast items on a plate.

I took Mingzhuo to the basement in the elevator. In a corner of the movie theater, there was a small shrine that had been specially set up and was already filled with things.

Most of them are children's toys and figurines, and some incense and candles.

"I've asked around. Raising a ghost child is not something to be taken lightly. Since the ghost is willing to help you, you must treat it well and make sure to provide for it regularly."

Although ghosts cannot eat human food, they can eat food that is properly offered.

Ruan Mingying speculated that the little ghost was not very old when he died, and probably hadn't had time to experience many of the wonderful things in the world.

Of course, we should offer them all these delicious foods and fun toys. If we are preventing them from being reincarnated, then we cannot treat them poorly.

Mingzhao: "..."

"Big sister, I didn't raise a ghost." She felt she needed to explain this clearly.

And her older sister accepted it way too quickly. Isn't she a Buddhist herself? She even has a Buddhist altar on the first floor, but she turns around and raises little ghosts in the basement.

If the senior monks in the temple knew this, they would probably all say it's absurd.

Ruan Mingying then realized she had misunderstood. "So it moves because you used magic, right? Zhuozhuo, you're amazing!"

She had never seen any highly respected monks with this ability.

Of course, there's also the possibility that they don't like doing this kind of thing, since it's easy to cause misunderstandings.

Mingzhuo didn't offer much explanation, but the housekeeper was slightly disappointed when she learned that Ruan Mingying had bought children's toys not because she was pregnant.

He had been looking forward to the arrival of a new life in the family, so that he could wholeheartedly take care of the baby and the new mother. Just thinking about it made him feel very happy.

However, he had no right to offer opinions on whether or not to have children, not even Xu Shanglou himself.

This is a decision that only Ruan Mingying can make. If she wants to have the baby, the whole family must cooperate and make contingency plans and preparations.

Ruan Mingying was unaware of the housekeeper's expectations; she was busy preparing food.
