Chapter 51
"I suspect my grandson's soul is missing..."
The guest who spoke was an elderly woman who was very well-groomed. She was wearing a blue dress, and her gray hair was neatly combed. She looked refined and meticulous.
Now, the old lady leaned closer to Xu Gui and mysteriously told him about her eldest grandson's missing soul.
"...No, that's not right, he didn't lose his soul, he's possessed by a female ghost!"
The old lady corrected herself, speaking in a soft voice with a slightly neurotic tone. Coupled with the almost manic expression on her face, it sent a chill down the spine of anyone listening to her.
hiss……
The photographer gasped, feeling goosebumps rising all over his body.
A glass of water was handed to her at just the right moment. Xu Gui was taken aback for a moment, then gave the assistant beside him an appreciative look before pushing the water in front of the old lady and saying with a smile, "Don't rush, have some water first and then we can talk slowly."
She felt that she was getting better and better at dealing with humans; she was really amazing.
Xu Gui looked at the old lady and asked her, "Why do you think your grandson is possessed by a female ghost?"
The old lady took a sip of water, seemingly calming down a bit. She sighed and said worriedly, "I know you might think I'm crazy, but! My grandson really isn't normal."
The old lady told Xu Gui about her grandson's situation.
Since the year before last, his eldest grandson has been acting strangely. He used to be a cheerful person, but he would suddenly become quiet from time to time, and sometimes he would suddenly cry and scream. He seemed very strange.
“At the time, we didn’t dare to think that he was possessed by an evil spirit…” the old lady said. “But later, his condition became more and more serious. Starting last year, a woman suddenly appeared in his body!”
The old woman's tone was sinister, and the content of her words left one feeling bewildered.
"What do you mean by 'a woman appeared inside his body'?" the paparazzi couldn't help but ask.
The old lady slapped her thigh and said, "You all find it unbelievable, right? But it's true. My perfectly fine grandson suddenly started putting on makeup and even wearing skirts like a woman... You don't know, one night I got up to use the bathroom and saw him sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing a wig and lipstick. I almost thought I'd seen a ghost."
The old lady patted her chest, clearly still feeling lingering fear when she thought about that scene.
The paparazzi speculated: "Perhaps he suddenly developed a hobby of dressing up as a woman? You may be too old to go online much, so you may not know that there are quite a few men online who enjoy dressing up as women. This behavior even has a very proper name: cross-dressing."
The old woman said, "That's not all. I also heard him speaking in a woman's voice, soft and gentle, sweet and delicate. I'm absolutely sure I didn't mishear. That was a woman's voice... I even heard him talking to that woman. What else could he be but possessed by a female ghost?"
That does sound really creepy... The cameraman looked at Xu Gui.
Xu Gui thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have you considered that the child might be sick?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's face fell immediately. She said in a harsh voice, "I already said he's possessed by a female ghost. What kind of illness would cause someone to have an extra person inside their body? You, Master, are you a fraud?"
She stared at Xu Gui with a suspicious look in her eyes.
"Of course I'm not a fraud." Xu Gui smiled and said, "You came to me because someone told you I'm really effective, right?"
Hearing this, the old lady's expression softened again. She said, "I did hear from the boy next door that you're very accurate. How did you know that?"
Xu Gui: "Of course, because I'm a fortune teller. I can even predict that you are seventy-two years old this year, and your grandson is seventeen years old. He is a very clever and cheerful child and is currently in his first year of high school."
Hearing her praise her grandson, the old lady's expression became even more amiable. She proudly said, "Of course! My grandson has been obedient since he was little, and he also has excellent grades. He's always been the kind of child everyone admires."
The old lady was very proud.
Xu Gui nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "So, what do you want me to do here? Exorcise a ghost for your grandson?"
The old lady nodded and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you have any talismans to exorcise ghosts? You know, the kind that you burn and give to the child to drink to drive away ghosts?" She looked at Xu Gui expectantly.
The person filming felt something was off—giving a child talisman water to drink, was that really a legitimate thing to do?
The photographer couldn't help but look at Xu Gui.
Xu Gui blinked and said seriously, "I think I need to see the child's condition in person before I can decide what to do."
The old lady looked hesitant.
Xu Gui smiled and looked at her, saying, "These things should be done sooner rather than later. If it's too late, the child's condition may worsen, and he may really become a woman."
Upon hearing this, the old lady panicked for a moment, then her expression became firm.
“Alright,” she stood up, “then I’ll trouble you, Master, to make the trip for me.”
Xu Gui smiled and began packing his things.
The old lady stood to one side, her brows furrowed, her expression troubled, as if she were worried about something.
The cameraman leaned closer to Xu Gui and whispered, "Teacher Xu, is this family's child really possessed by a ghost?"
Xu Gui looked at him with suspicion and asked in surprise, "Don't people nowadays all believe in scientific development? How can you still believe in ghost possession?"
ah?
The cameraman looked at her awkwardly and whispered, "But didn't you tell that old lady..."
"I never said her child was possessed by a ghost," Xu Gui said casually. She glanced at the camera that was filming and said, "Don't try to pull this superstitious nonsense, or you'll get my live stream shut down."
Follower: ? ? Me, I'm superstitious?
He looked at Xu Gui in disbelief, but seeing Xu Gui's serious expression, he could only swallow his grievances. He suddenly realized that Xu Gui had never said that the old lady's grandson was possessed by a ghost.
"What exactly is the situation with the old lady's grandson?" the cameraman wondered.
Xu Gui said casually, "Once we see the parties involved, we'll know what's going on."
She had already packed her things and said, "Okay, we can go now."
The assistant assigned by the production team was also left behind, as she still had to stay and take care of the fish in the aquarium. She could only watch helplessly as Xu Gui and the others left—she wanted to go with them too!
"Please take care of feeding the fish in the aquarium. Make sure they don't go hungry, okay?" Xu Gui said to his assistant in a serious tone.
The assistant nodded hurriedly, "Understood, Teacher Xu, you can go ahead without worry."
Live Stream Room:
[Wow, this old lady's story is terrifying! Something about a woman being inside her grandson's body... Is this some kind of ghost story?]
[I got goosebumps listening to this. I hate hearing this stuff. I don't want to listen to it. It's like a turtle chanting scriptures.]
So, what exactly happened to the old lady's grandson? It can't really be a ghost encounter, can it? I don't believe in ghosts.
"You all believe in fortune telling, but you don't believe in ghosts? Humph, I'm different from you. I not only believe in ghosts, but I also believe in Buddha, Guanyin, Zeus, and the sun god!"
"...Brother, you believe in quite a diverse array of deities, from ancient times to the present, both domestic and foreign."
[Seriously, stop feeding these fish! I feel like their bellies are about to burst. Is anyone going to speak up for these fish?]
*
Xu Gui and the others followed the old lady to her house.
When they arrived at the residential complex, the person following them exclaimed in surprise, looking around and saying, "Isn't this... Mr. Li's residential complex?"
Mr. Li, whose real name is Li An, had his family eat rice that had been sprayed with pesticides by his mother. This caused them to become mentally unstable and have recurring nightmares. Mr. Li thought that his family members were possessed by evil spirits, so he went to Xu Gui to exorcise them.
Because of their family's affairs, Xu Gui almost ended up in the police station, so both Xu Gui and the person filming him had a deep impression of Mr. Li's neighborhood.
Now, as they walk through this neighborhood and follow the filming, they realize that this is Mr. Li's home.
"So, the neighbor you mentioned, ma'am..." the cameraman asked.
The old lady nodded and said, "Yes, it's Li An's family. Their story has spread throughout our neighborhood. Everyone knows you're a master with real skills."
It was after hearing about Li An's family's situation that the old lady had the idea of asking Xu Gui for help, which led to the current situation.
At this moment, Xu Gui and the others followed the old lady to the foot of a residential building. The old lady took out her access card and said, "Our home is here, on the fifth floor."
When they took the elevator to the fifth floor, the doors opened and someone was coming down. Seeing the old lady, he immediately greeted her and then said with a troubled expression, "...Grandma Wang, could you please not play music at noon? My child will be home at noon and needs a nap. Playing music at this time is too disruptive to the child's rest."
The old lady, Grandma Wang, was taken aback and asked, "Did they play music at my house at noon?"
The woman nodded and said, "That's right, the singing is quite nice, it's still playing now."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's face immediately turned somewhat unpleasant. She tried her best to remain calm and greeted her neighbor. Once she was out of her neighbor's sight, she quickly walked to her own front door, opened it, and went inside.
Xu Gui and the others followed behind her, and as soon as they entered, they heard a clear and melodious singing voice.
"Huh?" The cameraman peered inside curiously. "There really is someone playing music? Wait, this sound doesn't seem to be coming from any equipment. It must be someone singing, right? Grandma, do you have a granddaughter?"
After asking the questions, he belatedly noticed the old lady's unpleasant expression. He suddenly realized something and immediately fell silent.
However, the old lady was clearly angered by his words. With a stern face, she stormed into a room, opened the door, and shouted, "Wang Lingxing, what are you doing?"
As Xu Gui and the others went inside, they saw a figure with "long, flowing hair and a slender, graceful figure" sitting by the window. When the old lady called out, "she" turned around and revealed a delicate face that was still clearly male.
Moreover, this face, with its thin eyebrows, red lips, and fair, delicate skin, is clearly made up.
Looking at "her" clothes, a white dress and long black hair, if you don't look closely at her face, she looks like a tall girl.
Upon seeing the old lady, she stood up, smiled, and called out, "Grandma."
The voice was delicate and melodious, extremely moving, and sounded entirely like a woman's soft voice. However, paired with that clearly male face, the person filming felt goosebumps all over their body in that instant.
The photographer had to admit he was a little scared, so he shuffled around in small steps until he was right next to Xu Gui, only then did he feel a little more at ease.
He looked up at Xu Gui. Compared to his fear, Xu Gui's expression was calm. She quietly stared at the "girl" in front of her. Her calmness made the paparazzi feel that his reaction was a bit of an overreaction.
When Grandma Wang heard the other person call her "Grandma," her expression turned ferocious. She grabbed something from the table and threw it at "her," yelling, "Who's your grandma? You evil spirit! Get out of my grandson's body!"
Wang Lingxing dodged the object she threw and laughed, "Grandma, have you forgotten? I'm your granddaughter."
Grandma Wang's face turned ashen: "No, you're an evil spirit! You're not human at all! You're a female ghost possessing my grandson's body! Master—"
Grandma Wang suddenly turned to look at Xu Gui and said, "Master, please get rid of this female ghost quickly and expel her from my grandson's body!"
Xu Gui: "...Ah, this? Let me check on his condition first. Grandma Wang, may I have some time alone with her?"
Grandma Wang frowned and asked, "Can't I watch?"
Xu Gui made up a lie with a straight face: "Evil spirits are very dangerous. If you were here, I might be a little hesitant when dealing with them, and I might even hurt you. So, I want to talk to her alone."
Grandma Wang hesitated for a few seconds, then seemed to give in and nodded, saying, "Alright then."
As she left, she gave "Wang Lingxing" a look of disgust and resentment before turning and departing.
The person filming hesitated, asking, "Should I go out?"
Xu Gui nodded: "You can go out too."
The paparazzi glanced at the obviously abnormal "Wang Lingxing" but still chose to believe Xu Gui.
“…Alright,” he said. “But if anything happens, Ms. Xu, just shout, and I’ll rush in right away!”
Xu Gui nodded.
After everyone left, only Xu Gui and "Wang Lingxing" remained in the room. Xu Gui took a step forward, but "Wang Lingxing," who had just been smiling, suddenly took a step back as if a cat had been stepped on.
"Who are you? What do you want?" She looked at Xu Gui warily, as if she were covered in thorns.
Xu Gui looked around and sat down on a stool by the bed, saying, "I was hired by your grandmother to exorcise the ghost for you. They seem to think you are being haunted by an evil spirit."
"Wang Lingxing" pursed his lips and said, "I am not possessed by evil spirits, I am Wang Lingxing! I am just a different me, but I am still me!"
The word "she" sounded a bit awkward, but Xu Gui still understood what it meant.
Xu Gui nodded, but said, "But now, your family thinks you are possessed by an evil spirit. They are very anxious to find someone to exorcise the spirit for you. They seem to think that as long as the evil spirit in your body is expelled, you will return to normal."
Upon hearing this, Wang Lingxing revealed a wicked smile. She said resentfully, "They are always so domineering. They never consider Wang Lingxing's opinion. As long as they think it's good, then it must be right, regardless of whether Wang Lingxing agrees or not."
She seemed to harbor a strong hatred towards the Wang family.
"You also think I'm possessed by an evil spirit?" She looked at Xu Gui sharply, her expression unfriendly.
Xu Gui tilted his head and said, "There are no ghosts in this world, so how could there be such a thing as being possessed by an evil spirit? Don't think that just because I grew up in an orphanage, I've received a scientific and rational education. I would never believe in such feudal superstitions!"
Her tone was proud, and her expression was one of self-satisfaction.
"..."
Hearing this, Wang Lingxing was a little speechless, unsure of what to say. It sounded a bit awkward that someone who practiced feudal superstition was saying she didn't believe in feudal superstition.
“I know that even if the Wang family doesn’t acknowledge it, you are indeed Wang Lingxing. The reason you’re like this is simply because you’re sick,” Xu Gui suddenly said. Seeing the stunned expression on “Wang Lingxing’s” face, Xu Gui looked at her and said calmly:
"You have a split personality disorder."
*
The cameraman followed Grandma Wang to the living room and sat down.
Grandma Wang sat on the sofa, sighing and looking worried.
"Tell me, how did this child become like this?" The old woman wiped away her tears. "He used to be so normal, well-behaved and obedient. If he hadn't been haunted by the female ghost, how could he have turned into this inhuman, ghostly figure?"
The old woman's tone turned resentful, "That damned female ghost deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell! Why is she haunting my grandson?"
The person following her listened, feeling embarrassed, unsure how to respond to the old lady. Most importantly, he felt that the old lady's grandson might not be possessed by a ghost.
He had been led astray by the old lady's words and started thinking about ghosts, but now that he had calmed down and thought about it carefully, he realized that it was already the 21st century, and ghosts had long been deciphered by science. So, perhaps there were other reasons for the old lady's grandson's problems.
Just as the photographer was thinking this, the door to the Wang family's house was suddenly opened, and several people walked in from outside.
Walking in front was a middle-aged man with deep wrinkles between his brows, which made him look somewhat serious and authoritative. When he came in and saw Grandma Wang, he said, "Mom, you're home."
Grandma Wang stood up, glanced at her son, and then looked at the people behind him.
"Ah Zhang, who are these people?" Grandma Wang asked.
Mr. Wang said "Oh," and stepped slightly to the side to introduce the people behind him to his elderly mother, saying, "This is Master Zhou and his disciples. I invited them to come and see the stars."
The man called Master Zhou was middle-aged, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and sporting a long beard. He had a rather otherworldly and ethereal air about him.
However, a thick white gauze was pasted on his left cheek, which instantly diminished his appearance.
Wang Zhang said, "Master Zhou is extremely famous in the metaphysics circle. With him here, Xingxing will definitely be fine."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang's face didn't show much joy; instead, she seemed hesitant to speak.
The person filming the scene looked at this so-called very powerful Master Zhou with a rather dumbfounded expression: This, this Master Zhou, why does he look so familiar?
[Isn't this the swindler who appeared at the Zheng family's house?] The viewers in the live stream obviously had better memories than those who followed the camera. They recognized this Master Zhou at first glance.
Other netizens also chimed in with their own comments:
[I remember now, this is one of the two charlatans who fought at the Zheng family's house. The gauze on his face is from where he cut himself back then.]
[Haha, this guy actually ran into Xu Gui again! What a twist of fate!]
[This guy is a total liar! This family just keeps finding a conman on their first search; they're going to be swindled out of everything!]
[At least they found Xu Gui, this real charlatan; they were somewhat lucky!]
Netizens, always eager for a good show, suddenly became very interested in seeing Master Zhou's expression when he saw Xu Gui. Meanwhile, the person filming had already remembered who Master Zhou was and was quite astonished.
Isn't that a really coincidence? City A is so big, how did they manage to run into each other?
Grandma Wang pulled her son aside and whispered to him, "I've already found a master to exorcise the ghost from Xingxing, why did you bring a master with you too?"
Mr. Wang was taken aback, then asked, "Mom, who did you contact?"
Grandma Wang said, "It's the Li family in the next building. Aijuan's son found that master. Isn't she said to be very effective? So I went there specifically to find her and spent five hundred yuan."
Father Wang: "Five hundred yuan." He found a master who asked for two hundred thousand.
"Then, where is that master?" Wang's father suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the master since he came in. As for the person carrying the camera, he was strong and didn't look like a master at all.
The king's father looked around, trying to see which one was the master.
Grandma Wang said, "The master is in Xingxing's room. She said she needs to spend some time alone with Xingxing to see how to exorcise the ghost... So, do you still want this Master Zhou to help you take a look?"
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Wang said, "Since we've already invited him, let's have him take a look. This Master Zhou is very skilled and has a good reputation in the industry. If someone hadn't introduced me to him, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet him."
Grandma Wang nodded: "Okay."
After finishing their conversation, the two walked up to Master Zhou. Mr. Wang introduced his elderly mother to Master Zhou, while Grandma Wang looked curiously at the gauze on Master Zhou's face and couldn't help but point and ask, "Master, what's this on your face?"
Upon hearing this question, Master Zhou's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
"This," he reached out and touched the gauze on his face, pretending to be profound, "This is an injury I sustained when I helped a family exorcise a ghost. That family was also haunted by a vengeful ghost. That ghost was extremely fierce, and even with my profound magical powers, I was still injured like this."
The person standing to the side, filming every single word, kept a close eye on the camera: "..."
The viewers in the live stream who heard it clearly, word for word, were like: "..." If we hadn't seen you arguing with someone, we would have believed you.
However, having witnessed how pathetic Master Zhou looked back then, it's truly hard for everyone to believe him now.
“My son is in his bedroom. I’ll take Master Zhou and the others there.” Mr. Wang led Master Zhou and the others to Wang Lingxing’s bedroom. On the way there, they happened to pass by the cameramen standing in the living room.
When you saw Master Zhou filming you, you didn't immediately recognize him, only that he looked somewhat familiar. It wasn't until his apprentice tugged at you anxiously and whispered something to you that your expression became flustered.
"Master..." the disciple said anxiously, "What should we do?"
Master Zhou calmed down and said, "What's the panic? Since he hasn't said anything, it means he doesn't intend to expose us... Go and try to build a relationship with him. If that doesn't work, you can give him half of the money we've earned."
The apprentice understood, and after Master Zhou and the Wang family walked past, he grabbed the cameraman who was also trying to follow them.
"Brother, what a coincidence! I never expected to run into you here... Let's go over there and chat."
Follower: ? ? Hey hey hey!
Wait, he needs to go inside to film!
Meanwhile, Wang's father had brought Master Zhou to Wang Lingxing's bedroom, but when they opened the door, they bumped into Xu Gui, who seemed to be coming out of the room.
The father looked at her with suspicion.
"This is that master!" Grandma Wang said at the right moment.
Wang's father was startled, and his gaze towards Xu Gui changed, becoming somewhat scrutinizing.
Meanwhile, Master Zhou, standing to the side, almost lost his composure as he looked at Xu Gui—he recognized Xu Gui; the man in the Tang suit had been standing by when he was fighting with him, and he was also standing by when Xu Gui was rescued from the pond.
In other words, this person saw him at his most disheveled while he was at the Zheng family's house.
Master Zhou: What bad luck!
Despite feeling unlucky inside, Master Zhou said with great enthusiasm, "Ah, it's Miss Xu! I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence, what a destiny!"
After the Zheng family incident, he investigated Xu Gui and learned that Xu Gui's surname was Xu.
"Huh, you two actually know each other?" Father Wang was surprised.
Master Zhou hurriedly replied, "Of course I know her. Miss Xu is very famous in our industry... Mr. Wang, if you had told me earlier that you had invited Miss Xu, I wouldn't have come."
Mr. Wang said, "I didn't invite Master Xu; my mother did... Besides, Master Xu only costs five hundred yuan to come."
The father's words were somewhat pointed, and Master Zhou, upon hearing them, was speechless.
He stared at Xu Gui in shock.
No way, is this how you disrupt the market? Five hundred yuan? He's never heard of such cheap prices since he started this business! How are people like them supposed to compete?
This is malicious competition!
“Miss Xu, Miss Xu is kind-hearted,” Master Zhou racked his brains and could only think of this sentence—if she is not kind-hearted, why is she doing charity here?
Master Zhou's high regard for Xu Gui made Wang's father look at Xu Gui with more trust. He said, "I didn't expect Master Xu to be so capable. I wonder how my son is doing? Can the evil spirit on him be driven away?"
Xu Gui looked at Wang's father and pondered, "I have already calmed down the 'ghost' on him, but to completely expel it, we need to let him rest in a quiet place first."
The father asked, puzzled: "A quiet place?"
Xu Gui nodded and said, "I think his maternal grandmother's house is a good place. Resting there will be very helpful for him."
"His maternal grandmother's house?" Grandma Wang suddenly raised her voice. She pursed her lips and said, "His maternal grandmother's house isn't a good place. It's remote in the countryside, and his maternal grandmother isn't an educated person. The people there aren't very educated either. What good things can my Xingxing learn if he goes there?"
His words, however, revealed his disdain for Wang Lingxing's maternal family.
Xu Gui didn't say much about this, only saying, "If you want to save your grandson, this is the only way."
Grandma Wang frowned and brought up the matter of the talisman water again: "Master, is there any talisman that my grandson can eat and immediately drive away this evil spirit?"
Xu Gui said, "This vengeful ghost has completely merged with him. If you try to forcibly expel it, your grandson will also be harmed, and his life may even be in danger. Do you really want to do that?"
Grandma Wang fell silent and subconsciously looked at her son.
With a stern face, Wang's father asked, "Master, is there no other way?"
Xu Gui sighed and said, "No, this is the only way."
Now, the one who remained silent was Wang's father. He frowned, looking very hesitant, while Wang's grandmother glanced at them and suddenly muttered, "How can we let Xingxing go to his maternal grandmother's house?"
“Xingxing is in his first year of high school now, which is the most crucial time in high school. He has already taken two years off from school. If he takes another break, how will he keep up with his studies?”
“Look at Shanshan from his uncle’s family. She’s already a girl, and her grades have never fallen out of the top ten in every exam. Our Xingxing couldn’t even beat her before. Now that he’s going to his maternal grandmother’s house, will he be able to catch up with Shanshan in the future?”
"He's a boy, and he can't even compare to a girl. How embarrassing! Our Wang family doesn't have such a shameful child."
The old lady's expression was extremely displeased: "I don't believe you, we can't let him go... Master, please think of a way, we only have one child, we can't let him be delayed like this, he still has to go to school, and then there are all kinds of extracurricular classes to attend, missing a day means a lot of money!"
"Besides, the competition in today's society is so fierce. If we don't let him learn more now, what will he do when he enters the workforce?"
The old lady spoke with conviction, and as she continued, she seemed to become worried about herself. What had initially been hesitant now became firm: "Anyway, we can't let him go to Grandma's house. It would cause so much trouble!"
"Master, please help me think of a solution!" she said. "My child really can't leave City A."
The paparazzi have returned, and everyone in the live stream happened to see this, immediately filling the screen with question marks:
[No, the child is already like this, possessed by a "vengeful ghost," and you're still worried about his studies and extracurricular classes?]
[Chicken parenting, chicken parenting, is this really how you do it? This is practically like the child is about to die. You're telling me to let him study a little longer while he still has a breath left? Are you kidding me?]
I think they care more about whether their child is as good as his uncle's daughter, Shanshan, in every way than about the child's health or life.
Xu Guidu says this child is possessed by a ghost. Do ghosts really exist?
[I am a psychologist. Based on my observations, this student, Wang Lingxing, is very likely suffering from dissociative identity disorder, and the split personality appears to be quite complete. This situation is extremely dangerous. If the Wang family sees this, I hope they will take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible.]
[Dissociative identity disorder?! Yes, the child's condition sounds very similar to dissociative identity disorder!!]
[But if it's a case of dissociative identity disorder, then what about all of Xu Gui's statements? Xu Gui's fortune-telling has always been very accurate; surely he wouldn't make a mistake here?]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious! Xu Gui's fans are like a bunch of idiots. You actually believe in fortune telling? This is obviously scripted!]
The haters are here again, always sniffing out trouble. So annoying!
...
The person filming hadn't checked the live stream comments, but having previously speculated that Wang Lingxing wasn't being haunted, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it possible that the child is sick?"
As soon as he said that, everyone's eyes fell on him.
He seemed a little nervous being watched and filmed, but his large build and stern face made it impossible to discern his true thoughts. He said, "Perhaps it's because the child is sick that he's having this strange problem? Have you taken the child to the hospital for a checkup?"
He thought what he said was perfectly normal, but he didn't expect the Wang family to react so strongly.
"What illness?" the old woman shrieked. "My child is perfectly fine. What makes you think he's sick? Do you think he has mental problems and suspect he's a lunatic?"
Mr. Wang also said, "If this gentleman doesn't have a definite conclusion, I hope he won't speak recklessly. Our child is very healthy!" He emphasized the words "very healthy".
The old woman retorted, "My child has clearly been possessed by a ghost! What are you saying about him being sick? Are you cursing him? Bah!"
Follow-up filming: ? ? ?
The paparazzi was genuinely surprised by the Wang family's reaction. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just stating a guess, a reasonable guess!"
Unfortunately, the Wang family didn't seem to appreciate his explanation and immediately tried to kick him out. As someone who had come with him, Xu Gui's status as a "master" plummeted.
"What kind of master is he? I think he's a fraud. What good could he be with?"
As the family said this, they kicked Xu Guilian and the paparazzi out of their house.
The photographer was truly bewildered. He looked at Xu Gui and said, "Teacher Xu, did I say something wrong just now? I said his child might be sick, how did that become a curse?"
Isn't the child's supposed encounter with a ghost more like a curse than his illness? Why is this family so accepting of the latter and reacting so strongly to his claims of being sick?
This doesn't make sense.
Xu Gui looked at the tightly closed door, his brows furrowed, his expression somewhat serious.
When she heard the cameraman say that she was being followed, she replied, "Maybe you've touched a nerve? They feel pain, so their reaction is naturally stronger."
The photographer asked, "...What do you mean?" He didn't quite understand what Xu Gui meant.
At this moment, in Xu Gui's live stream, a comment suddenly scrolled across the center of the screen:
Wang Lingxing is a patient I treated when I was a psychiatrist. He initially came to me for treatment because of depression. At that time, his depression was very severe and he had already developed bipolar disorder. I prescribed him medication, but his condition was not controlled and instead became more and more serious.
Then one day he told me that he fantasized that someone loved him. Some netizens might not understand what this means or why I used the word "serious" to describe this situation. That's because it indicates that he has begun to show signs of schizophrenia!
I immediately told his parents about it, but...
