Chapter 16 Asking the Little Ghost to Change His Fate
"Yun Shu? What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Yutian's agent turned around and said with displeasure, "What ghosts and ghosts? In broad daylight, who are you trying to scare?"
Xiao Yutian couldn't speak, but her eyes were wide open and her face was somewhat pale.
After Yun Shu came over, she clearly felt the binding around her neck tighten, and she felt a sharp pain from time to time, as if something was scratching her with sharp nails.
"Mmm!"
Xiao Yutian suddenly grabbed Yun Shu's sleeve, her face turning from pale to a deathly bluish-gray, "Help, ugh... help me!"
Yun Shu took out a triangular amulet from her bag and placed it next to Xiao Yutian's collar. The amulet emitted a burst of golden light.
Xiao Yutian suddenly felt that she could breathe again. Like a drowning person who had just been pulled out of the water, she collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"I...can speak!"
Xiao Yutian suddenly looked up, staring at Yun Shu in shock. Xiao Yutian's manager was also stunned for a moment.
They stared at the ashes of the burnt amulets on the ground with strange expressions.
Yun Shu gave Xiao Yutian another amulet, saying, "It was scared away. Keep this with you, and it won't dare to come back for now."
Xiao Yutian immediately accepted the amulet.
In the past, Xiao Yutian would have thought Yun Shu was talking nonsense again. But just now, she clearly felt something choking her neck, trying to strangle her to death little by little.
That eerie, near-death feeling left a deep impression on her; she would never forget it. If Yun Shu hadn't intervened in time to save her, she might have died on the spot!
Why do I have this on my body?
Xiao Yutian asked.
Yun Shu looked at the blackened marriage line on Xiao Yutian's body and said, "You'll have to ask your boyfriend about that. But it's too late for you to break up with him now. The backlash won't stop once it starts, and it won't leave until you die."
"What kind of backlash are you talking about?"
Yun Shu said coldly, "To alter someone else's career fortune is to defy fate. Such behavior disrupts the rules of the world, and the person who alters fate will suffer a backlash."
"I didn't do that!"
After Xiao Yutian finished speaking, she couldn't help but laugh at herself, "With my career luck, I can't do anything I want. Even if I really want to change jobs, I should change to something better!"
"What I mean is, your career luck has been switched by someone else, and that person is suffering the consequences. This kind of backlash can be deadly, and he obviously doesn't want to die yet; he wants you to die in his place."
"this……"
Xiao Yutian's agent, who was standing nearby, found it outrageous and couldn't help but ask, "Really? Is this really true?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders."
The agent looked furious. "If that's really the case, it's one thing for him to have ruined Xiaotian's career, but he also wants to kill her. Isn't that indirect murder?!"
Xiao Yutian remained silent.
After a long while, she asked with a complicated expression, "Yun Shu, do you mean that the person who changed my career luck is my boyfriend?"
"good."
Yun Shu explained, "Changing one's fate is an evil art, forbidden by the laws of Heaven. Not only is the method of its execution very demanding, but the person seeking to change their fate also has to pay a certain price, and any mishap during the process can lead to a backlash. If I'm not mistaken, your boyfriend is using the method of summoning a ghost to change his fate."
This method of changing one's luck borrows the power of a mischievous spirit. One must constantly offer sacrifices to the spirit, which involves feeding it with one's hair or blood. The longer one feeds it, the stronger the spirit's power becomes, eventually causing the ritual implements to be unable to suppress it, and the spirit will turn against its host.
Judging from your experience, your boyfriend has been feeding the evil spirit for about four or five years. The spirit's power has long since exceeded his control and it will turn on him and devour him.
As Yun Shu explained, Xiao Yutian reflected on the events of the past few years.
She wasn't actually that unlucky; she performed exceptionally well in the college entrance exam, scoring more than fifty points higher than usual, and ultimately got into a prestigious university.
Ever since she met her boyfriend, she's had a string of bad luck. Her boyfriend, on the other hand, is the kind of person who gets into a prestigious university but doesn't study hard; he almost got expelled in his first year. But over the years, he's had increasingly successful careers.
The more she thought about it, the colder she felt down her spine.
Yun Shu's voice came again, "This kind of little ghost wouldn't normally bother eating you. You were fed to the little ghost as a sacrifice for several years. Your vitality and luck are not as good as your boyfriend's. You don't taste as good as your boyfriend."
But now the little ghost is haunting you, so the only explanation is that your boyfriend hired someone to perform a ritual, using a special method to make you his scapegoat.
Yun Shu looked at her and asked, "If you still don't believe me, think back carefully, is there something enshrined in your home?"
"Yes, there is a Buddha statue. My boyfriend said his family is Buddhist, and he became a Buddhist too, so we set it up. But he never lets me touch the Buddha statue. I accidentally bumped into it while cleaning the house before, and he got very angry."
He would take this Buddha statue with him when he went on business trips, which I found strange because I had never seen a Buddhist carry a Buddha statue with them before.
Xiao Yutian's face was pale, and her expression was pained as she thought about what had happened over the years.
When she first developed depression, her boyfriend was there for her. She thought she had met the right person and wanted to spend her life with him, but she never imagined that all her misfortunes stemmed from him! And now this man wants her to die in his place!
No, she can't die!
She hasn't fulfilled her dream yet, hasn't shown the audience her talent, she can't die! The one who deserves to die is that scumbag!
A strong will to survive surged in Xiao Yutian's eyes as she pleaded with Yun Shu, "Yun Shu, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have mocked you. Please help me this once. If I survive, I'll definitely find a way to help you get first place in the talent show. You can also ask for money; just name your price!"
"You should just pay me."
Yun Shu thought for a moment and then said, "My amulet can only protect you temporarily. If you want to live, you have to get rid of the little devil completely."
The little devil who was bothering Xiao Yutian was the one Yun Shu had met at the conference room door.
She initially thought it was a passing ghost attracted by Lu Shijing's aura, but now it seems the little ghost came specifically to find Xiao Yutian.
Xiao Yutian has been rehearsing very hard lately and hasn't been home to stay. She's been living in the company's staff dormitory for the past two weeks.
"How can I get rid of it?"
Xiao Yutian pressed for an answer.
"First, you need to destroy the little ghost statue that your boyfriend is worshipping. This little ghost statue should be hidden inside the Buddha statue you mentioned. Then I can perform a ritual for you."
After Yun Shu finished speaking, she scratched the back of her head.
"However, I'm going to perform on stage soon, so how about we take this opportunity to perform a ritual? Have your agent go to your house and destroy the ghost statue."
Xiao Yutian's agent said, "I can go to her house, but her boyfriend is currently in the audience, not at home. But how are you going to perform the ritual? On stage? This is a competition, be careful the judges blacklist you!"
