Supernatural expert Shen Xu failed in her ascension and woke up to find herself as the fake rich daughter, about to be married (or sold) off by her adoptive mother.
Looking at her "fianc�...
Chapter 405: Offering Tablets
Everyone was confused.
What's going on?
Jiang Xu's eyes darkened, "What else?"
Her voice was not loud, but it inexplicably carried an irresistible pressure.
Zhou Man and Jiang Meng looked at each other, and tremblingly took out everything in their backpacks. There were three more tablets, but the photos and names were of Jiang Meng, Zhou Man and Liu Nian respectively.
The air fell into an eerie silence.
Pei Yiyi took a deep breath, unconsciously took a half step back, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...are you human or ghost?"
Zhou Man quickly said, "It's a person! Of course it's a living person!"
"Then why do you set up a memorial tablet for yourselves?"
Pei Yiyi's face was filled with shock, and her entire scalp was numb.
Even though she was not well versed in metaphysics and gossip, she knew that memorial tablets could not be set up casually.
A husband and wife will not set up a memorial tablet while one of them is alive.
Isn't it nonsense to set up a memorial tablet for yourself?
Are kids these days so fearless and daring to play?
Could it be that Liu Nian was killed by himself?
"What's going on?" Xu Jianwen frowned.
The three of them hesitated, and finally Huang Xiaoyu spoke up: "The art exam is coming up soon, and we're under too much pressure. We heard that if you just offer your own tablet, you can get good grades, so..."
Everyone:……
There are many grooves but no openings.
Jiang Yue was shocked.
When I was studying, I heard that many candidates would do anything to get good grades, and many of them even burned incense and worshipped Buddha.
But I didn’t expect that some people would be so superstitious as to set up a tablet for themselves?
"Who is so wicked as to tell you this method?"
Zhou Man: "Liu Nian."
"Eh? Liu Nian?"
The dead Liu Nian?
Jiang Yue widened his eyes.
Originally, he had guessed the general plot in his mind.
Liu Nian is not the best student, and some people are jealous of her, so they use this method to harm them so that they can benefit themselves?
But you said that this method was actually proposed by the deceased Liu Nian?
What's going on?
Huang Xiaoyu said in a trembling voice, "We actually thought this method was a bit unlucky at the time, but we just wanted to give it a try. Unexpectedly, it actually worked. Later, on the mock exam, several of us improved our scores by 20 or 30 points."
"I was quite happy at first, thinking I was sure of a pass in the exam. All my years of hard work had paid off, and I could finally get a good grade. But who knew..."
"Liu Nian died suddenly, and in such strange circumstances that we were terrified. That night, the three of us simultaneously dreamed of Liu Nian standing at the head of our beds, saying, 'It's your turn!' ... That's when I remembered those tablets."
Jiang Meng collapsed and covered her face: "We thought that if we burned these unlucky things quickly, maybe everything would be fine... Who knew that as soon as the fire was lit..."
The three of them trembled and cried softly.
Liu Nian on the ground suddenly struggled violently, extremely angry, his pale face twisted and deformed, and he gritted his teeth ferociously.
Jiang Yue saw this and raised his eyebrows: "That's not right. If you were just tricked into setting up the memorial tablet, then why would Liu Nian seek revenge on you?"
He felt he had grasped the point.
"She seems to disagree with what you said."
"If you don't tell the truth, my sister and I will both leave?"
The three of them were stunned. They looked up suddenly and met Jiang Xu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. They froze in place.
Jiang Xu suddenly stretched out his hand, a golden light flashed at his fingertips, and the tablet with Liu Nian's name on it cracked open, revealing the tangled hair inside and a talisman paper drawn with black blood.
A fishy stench instantly spread out, and everyone couldn't help but take a step back.
"Ah!" Jiang Meng screamed, panic flashing in his eyes.
"So, you were the ones who killed Liu Nian?" Xu Jianwen's face darkened.
"No, not us!"
"She was the one who wanted to kill us first! She was the one who killed us first!"
Jiang Meng suddenly broke down and cried.
"We treated her like a sister, but she treated us like fools and stepping stones!"
"This tablet doesn't bring good luck at all. It's actually overdrawing our life's good fortune in advance! A person's luck is limited. When the good luck runs out, all that's left is..."
"Endless misfortune," Huang Xiaoyu said with a hint of resentment. "At first, we didn't know and were grateful to her. Until one day during the holidays, a fortune teller on the street stopped me and said I was haunted by death."
Huang Xiaoyu was shocked and talked with her for a while before she realized that they had all been deceived by Liu Nian.
Offering tablets to them cannot bring them so-called good luck. She just wants them to be unlucky, so that when the time comes for the exam, she will have no pressure and will always be the first!
She asked her mother-in-law how to break the spell, and her mother-in-law said that they could just put the caster's hair and talisman paper back into the tablet. Of course, they did as she said.
I also asked my mother-in-law to draw a bad luck talisman and put it inside.
Unexpectedly, the day after they did all this, Liu Nian died...
The three of them were pale. "But we really just wanted to break the spell and let her have a taste of bad luck. I don't know how it turned out like this, but we really didn't mean to kill her!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
A moment of trance.
So, Liu Nian is not a victim, but a perpetrator. In order to ensure a good grade in the exam, he uses this method to get rid of those who pose a threat to him?
Was he killed in return?
Xu Jianwen still couldn't believe it.
In his impression, Liu Nian, an excellent student with excellent character and academic performance, turned out to be such a vicious person?
Huang Xiaoyu didn't know what she was thinking, and sneered: "How is it impossible? She is such a vicious person! She will do anything to get to the top!"
"They really didn't lie. It was definitely not you who killed Liu Nian." Jiang Xu nodded.
"However, there is one thing you all got wrong. Whether it's you or Liu Nian, from the moment you began offering sacrifices to the tablet, your lives were no longer your own."
"What?"
Huang Xiaoyu and the other two's pupils suddenly shrank, and a chill ran down their backs.
Jiang Xu pointed behind them lightly.
Everyone looked at it and shuddered in unison.
Everyone was horrified to find that the shadows behind the three people were disappearing bit by bit.
