Liu Xiangnan began to recall.
"I started livestreaming fortune-telling because a female classmate at A University was raped. Police investigation revealed the murderer to be an old man living near our university. After identifying the murderer, they couldn't find him. Furthermore, during his time in hiding, another rape occurred, leaving the female classmates panicked and Liang Tian nearly in danger. I decided to use fortune-telling and the power of the internet to help the authorities find the old man."
At that time, she had just started broadcasting and there were not many people watching her live broadcast.
However, because it was related to University A, it attracted some traffic and was briefly viewed by some students of University A.
She didn't know if anyone would believe it and tell the police, but the final outcome was that the old man was caught.
"Your original intention was good, but what is your real intention in fortune-telling now? Is it still good intentions?"
Liu Xiangnan nodded, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.
"Of course it's well-intentioned. But over time, everyone seems to be treating my calculations as a tool to make money."
After her live broadcast became popular, many organizations or big bosses sent her private messages, asking to cooperate with her.
Let her do fortune-telling live and sell goods at the same time.
Others asked her to change the fortunes of bad people and ward off evil.
She rejected them all.
Her original intention was to calculate the criminal's location and alert the people around him.
But later it evolved into her being the bounty hunter's mission commander, and to some extent, she was an accomplice in the murder of a person.
"Your original intention was good, but you were too honest and didn't know how to adapt, so you became a tool for those bad guys to make money. You just need to be a little more flexible and adaptable."
Liu Xiangnan raised his head, his eyes full of hope, "How can we make it work?"
She was now stuck in a quagmire where she felt that what she had learned was sinful, and she desperately needed someone to pull her ashore.
"Don't tell the truth completely. Throw away some of the ideological and moral shackles imposed on you by books and school education, and become more flexible."
Lu Xiangbei's words can be said to have shaken the "stabilizing force" in Liu Xiangnan's heart.
She looked at the road heading north as if she were looking at a stranger.
What they were taught in school and in books was that being honest was their duty and that they should be good children.
But Lu Xiangbei asked her to lie!
What she learned from books collided with reality, leaving her at a loss as to what to do for a moment.
Lu Xiangbei knew that if he asked Liu Xiangnan to abandon the moral shackles, Liu Xiangnan would find it difficult to bear it for the time being.
But he believed that after he said the following words, she would slowly understand the meaning.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not asking you to be a liar who tells lies."
He patted her shoulder gently and told her not to be so scared.
"Why do some fortune tellers live happy lives and enjoy a steady flow of wealth? It's because when they tell fortunes, they tell the person what they want to hear. As for bad luck, they simply summarize it and advise them to avoid certain things in the near future. They leave half of the story unsaid, leaving the other half for the person to comprehend and understand, leaving it to the reader to find its essence."
After listening to Lu Xiangbei's words, Liu Xiangnan really understood what he meant.
"You mean to tell me to be reserved about the results I calculated? Not to tell you everything?"
Lu Xiangbei nodded.
Liu Xiangnan thought about it carefully. When it came to the rape case at A University, she just wanted to remind the female classmates nearby to be careful.
Later, because her live broadcast room became popular, the criminal was caught.
She felt a sense of mission and had to calculate accurately, otherwise she would be sorry for the attention of the authorities and netizens.
Over time, she put more and more shackles on herself.
I’m afraid that if I make a mistake, I’ll be ridiculed and insulted by netizens later.
Now I think about why some fortune tellers don’t suffer any retribution after telling people’s fortunes. Maybe it’s just like what Lu Xiangbei said, they start by saying good things and then speak ambiguously about the recent misfortunes, telling people to be careful to avoid them.
It didn't happen, and the fortune teller felt that he had avoided bad luck.
When something happens, the person being told the fortune will only think, "Wow, the fortune teller was so accurate!" Fortunately, they listened to the fortune teller's advice and always took precautions to avoid it, turning a major misfortune into a minor one.
And her master was too straightforward, telling everyone everything he calculated without hiding anything from anyone, so...
When she thought of her master's tragic ending, Liu Xiangnan felt that her master was great.
Even though I know the consequences of revealing the secret, I still don't regret it.
In the past, she was just like her master, saying whatever she wanted, but as the people around her left one by one, she became timid.
She was afraid that if she told fortunes again, not only would Chen Hong have problems, but even Lu Xiangbei would be dragged down by her.
Seeing that she was really distressed.
Lu Xiangbei made the final decision: "Tell the truth to the public, and selectively tell the truth to the private side."
Liu Xiangnan thought about it and felt that this was also a solution, so he nodded.
"good."
But her heart was always heavy.
Because before her going to college, her master told her that he hoped his school's heritage could continue.
Therefore, she cannot refuse fortune-telling in the future.
But she couldn't speak anymore. For Lu Xiangbei, the matter of fortune-telling or not was over.
After not sleeping for a day and a night, Liu Xiangnan clearly felt a little dizzy.
In Lu Xiangbei's arms, she was not sleepy, but her eyelids were twitching uncontrollably.
"Go to sleep."
Lu Xiangbei whispered softly in her ear.
The whispering was like hypnosis. After Liu Xiangnan heard it, his mind felt confused and he felt dizzy. He closed his eyes soon.
