When I returned to the hospital, Yuan Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.
Without even speaking to me, he first sent Liu Sandao's almost dissipated soul back into his body through the ICU.
Less than five minutes later, the ICU lights came on again.
"Thank goodness, I was really afraid you wouldn't come back!"
Yuan Ying sat weakly in the chair, beads of sweat visible on her forehead, and her face was terribly pale.
"Yingniang, are you alright?" I went around behind her and massaged her shoulders.
"It's nothing, it's just that my body is getting worse every day. I'm getting old and useless!" Yuan Ying smiled bitterly.
I hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Yingniang, did you save us just now?"
As I spoke, I recounted to Yuan Ying the whole story of how Liu Sandao and I were about to be dragged into the vortex, and the roar of the Qilin that came from there.
Yuan Ying also looked surprised: "It wasn't me. I don't have that ability. You must have encountered a wandering master."
A wandering master? What a coincidence!
Seeing that I still couldn't understand, Yuan Ying smiled and said, "There's no need to overthink it. Maybe it's just that your lives weren't meant to end."
I shook my head with a wry smile.
I don't even know how many times I've almost died, but I was truly destined to survive.
But sometimes I think it would be better to just die.
Having lived for so many years, I have no skills, but I have harmed quite a few people.
Just like Conan, wherever he goes, people die.
No, I'm even worse off than him, I'm a jinx.
He causes deaths wherever he goes, but they are all insignificant people. I am different.
Whoever gets close to me will die.
Thinking of this, I quickly stretched out my hand and asked Yuan Ying to take a look at it to see if I was destined to be a lone star.
Yuan Ying paused for a moment, then gestured for me to open my palm.
After a long pause, she slowly spoke: "Judging from your palm, you are not destined to be a lone star. Your life line is winding and complex, with intersecting lines, which is called 'chaotic lines' in palmistry, indicating that your fate is full of twists and turns."
"Your career line is initially hidden among many complex lines, and only begins to emerge in middle age, only to be cut off by a horizontal line. This is called the 'Broken Bridge Sha'."
"The love line is also discontinuous, like a dried-up riverbed, devoid of any vitality."
"Overall, your life has been full of hardships, far more tragic than that of a cursed lone star."
"The cursed star only harms relatives, but you have a special fate that harms everyone around you. You are destined to grow old alone, without a wife or daughter to accompany you, and you will hardly have any close friends."
At first, I felt a surge of joy upon hearing that I wasn't a cursed loner, but the more I listened, the more something seemed off.
I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head, and my whole body felt icy cold.
This is even worse than being a cursed lone star!
Does this mean you think I'm not miserable enough?
Perhaps noticing my expression, Yuan Ying quickly said, "But you don't need to be too anxious. Everything will be alright. Your current fate doesn't represent your future fate."
I withdrew my hand with a wry smile.
"Yingniang, don't try to comfort me. I've been through so much, and I've killed so many people, including my best friend. I should have known I was just unlucky."
Yuan Ying looked serious, her eyes fixed on me.
"It's not entirely hopeless. Looking at your face, although the area between your eyebrows is dark and dull, there is a faint glimmer of light. This is the glimmer of hope in your fortune palace."
"You are destined for many calamities and are prone to encountering ghosts. Recently, you have been on the verge of life and death several times, facing numerous dangers. However, it seems that a mysterious force is helping you. At each critical moment, you are able to turn danger into safety. You must have a benefactor secretly protecting you."
My eyes lit up, and I asked eagerly, "A distinguished person? Yingniang, do you know who this distinguished person is?"
Yuan Ying shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness on her face: "I am not a top expert in this field, and I cannot calculate the identity of this important person, but this person is of great importance to you, and has repeatedly come to your rescue at critical moments in your life."
Is this benefactor of great importance to me?
Why have you repeatedly lent me a helping hand?
I asked her if this person was my relative.
Yuan Ying shook her head: "No!"
Not my family?
For a moment I was completely baffled, and I couldn't figure out who my benefactor was.
There's no one around me who's that amazing and can help me.
Yuan Ying paused slightly, then changed the subject, looking at me intently, and asked, "Xiao Chen, have you ever thought about entering this industry?"
When I heard this, it almost came out of my mouth.
"Of course I want to! Yingniang, you know, it's already over two hundred chapters, and I have absolutely no skills. Every time I encounter danger, I can only rely on others for help."
"I also long for the day when I can be someone else's support, someone who can catch and kill ghosts, and no longer be at the mercy of others."
As I spoke, my knees buckled, and I was about to kneel down and kowtow to become his disciple.
Yuan Ying reacted quickly, reaching out to stop me with a wry smile on her face.
“I would like to take you as my apprentice. Your destiny is indeed suited to making a living from the dead. However, my own abilities are limited, and I really do not have the ability to teach you.”
My heart skipped a beat, and I blurted out, "Then who has that ability? The Bureau of Paranormal Investigations?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ying looked surprised, a hint of astonishment flashing in her eyes.
"You also know about the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations?"
I hesitated for a moment and said, "Someone told me, Yingniang, do you know where the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations is?"
Yuan Ying sighed softly, "I know, but I can't tell you."
cannot?
My voice unconsciously rose a few decibels: "Why? Yingniang, I must learn the Tao, I must have the ability to kill all the evil spirits and monsters in the world, and avenge those who died because of me!"
