Song Mian clearly sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the male ghost: "Sir... no, young master, I think you've misunderstood. This is your first time in my shop, the first time I've met you, how could I possibly lie to you?"
The male ghost demanded menacingly, "Are you Song Mian?!"
"I, I am Song Mian, but..." Song Mian didn't even have a chance to finish her sentence before she saw the male ghost move rapidly, like a giant worm, darting towards her.
Goosebumps instantly rose on Song Mian's back. She grabbed a stool from the ground and threw it hard at the male ghost.
Snap!
With a crisp sound, the stool landed squarely on the male ghost.
The soul, which had been twisted into a strange shape with great difficulty, was beaten back to normal. The male ghost stood up from the ground and charged at Song Mian once again.
"Guest, let's talk this out!" Song Mian shouted loudly, her survival instincts kicking in.
The male ghost's sharp nails suddenly stopped before they could strike Song Mian.
After carefully observing Song Mian, the male ghost asked, "Where did that beauty mark under your eye go?"
Zhao Shubin discovered that it wasn't just Song Mian's beauty mark at the corner of her eye that had disappeared.
Upon closer inspection, although Song Mian's eyes seemed familiar to him, her nose, eyes, and mouth were all unfamiliar.
The girl in front of him looked quite different from the girl who had appeared in his dream. She was clearly much prettier than the girl who had appeared in his dream.
Seeing that Zhao Shubin did not immediately attack her, Song Mian became much bolder than before.
“I’ve never had a beauty mark under my eye… There’s only one person around me who looks similar to me and also has a beauty mark under their eye. My cousin, Song Jiajia, matches what you’re describing. Did you mistake someone else when you appeared in my dream?” Song Mian asked tentatively.
"That's impossible!" Zhao Shubin said sharply, but a look of unease appeared on his face as he spoke.
"But this is really the first time I've seen you today!" Seeing that Zhao Shubin kept squinting while speaking, Song Mian picked up the reading glasses that her grandmother had left in the shop and handed them to Zhao Shubin. "Why don't you put on the glasses first and take a closer look?"
Zhao Shubin had never seen glasses before. He took them with some skepticism and tried them on his nose.
In that instant, Zhao Shubin felt his vision was brighter than ever before, prompting him to exclaim in genuine amazement, "What, what kind of magical thing is this?"
“These are modern science reading glasses! I can sell them to you cheaply if you’re willing to pay with antiques or something.” Just when Song Mian thought she could sell the reading glasses with her superb sales skills, Zhao Shubin refused.
“I’ve already given you the antique! Last night, when I appeared in your dream, I told you the location of the pearl bracelet I treasured in my lifetime! You took my things but didn’t do anything for me. How can there be such a treacherous merchant as you in this world?!” Zhao Shubin said, revealing a fierce look on his face.
Just as Song Mian was about to debate with Zhao Shubin, she suddenly heard a system notification in her mind.
[The system detected an unusual transaction. Item traded: Fulfilling a customer's wish]
[Transaction counterparty: Zhao Shubin]
Transaction amount: One pearl bracelet
[Transaction Status: Abnormal. Please correct the abnormal status immediately, otherwise the transaction will be unable to continue!]
After hearing these system announcements, Song Mian tried to reason with the system: "The pearl bracelet isn't in my possession right now, so how can I change the abnormal status of this transaction?"
System official procedure: [Please obtain the transaction amount again, otherwise the system will determine the transaction as failed and penalize the host accordingly.]
Song Mian felt a little uneasy and tentatively asked, "What punishment will I receive if my deal fails?"
System: [The system will automatically unbind from the host.]
"That won't do!" Song Mian was taken aback, and her sudden serious and tense demeanor startled Zhao Shubin.
Zhao Shubin looked at Song Mian nervously: "You want to renege on your promise? I admit I had bad eyesight and chose the wrong person to appear in my dream, but you can't blame me entirely..."
“There’s no point in us dwelling on this now. Just tell me how you ended up with the wrong person,” Song Mian asked.
Zhao Shubin quickly explained the whole incident to Song Mian.
Zhao Shubin is a low-level ghost, and he is worshipped by some people. He was wandering around the home of his descendants when he accidentally saw news about Song Mian, which made him decide to ask Song Mian for help.
“We novice ghosts can visit people in our dreams, except for our own descendants. It’s just that… my eyesight has never been very good, and I never thought I would mistake someone else for someone else in my dream.” Zhao Shubin couldn’t help but sigh as he said this. “But you can’t blame me. You can only blame your cousin for being so unfair and using your identity to do a live stream. Otherwise, I would have made the mistake too!”
"She even used my name to do live streams?" Song Mian was completely shocked.
“Yes, I saw your cousin’s live stream on my descendant’s phone, which is why I thought she was yours. So it’s not entirely my fault that I mistook her for someone else; your entire Song family has to take responsibility.” Zhao Shubin said, quickly telling Song Mian the name of the live stream account.
After searching online for the fake account where Song Jiajia appeared, Song Mian was surprised to find that the account already had more than 10,000 followers!
Having grown up with Song Jiajia, Song Mian recognized Song Jiajia from just two videos she watched!
Song Jiajia imitated her outfit when she appeared at the Qi family's house, complete with a hat and mask, only revealing a pair of eyes that looked exactly like hers.
Many people questioned Song Jiajia in the comments section, but more people still believed that Song Jiajia was the 'Master Song' who helped the Qi family find the gold.
"She actually used my name to do a live stream fortune telling and even arranged to meet people in private? She can't even see ghosts, yet she can do such a shameless thing!" Song Mian felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.
She was unwilling to show her face because she knew very well that she was not a big deal and had no way to help people solve those kinds of paranormal events.
That's why she wanted to keep her small shop running discreetly, but she never expected that Song Jiajia would have such wicked intentions first.
"No, it's not just Song Jiajia, it's Song Jinyan too. They're probably all involved!" Having finally figured out where Song Jinyan got the pearl bracelet, Song Mian immediately called him.
As expected, Song Jinyan didn't dare answer the phone.
