I chuckled and repeated, "I just want to ask about my fortune."
Seeing that I insisted, Xia didn't say much, but the expression she gave me was very strange.
She probably thought I would ask how long I could live, but this old man asked about my fortune instead.
Xia's fingertips quickly swept across the remote control under the table.
As I sat down, I clearly heard a slight "click" sound.
I know that means the mechanism has been activated.
Just as I was wondering what kind of trouble she was going to cause this time, Qianqian suddenly pointed at the back of my neck: "Grandpa! Your shadow..."
I turned my head and saw my shadow overlap with the shadow of the rag in the corner, forming an eerie interplay under the candlelight.

Dark water stains seeped from the tablecloth beneath Xia's porcelain plate, its edges jagged and irregular, resembling the outline of some kind of creature.
Qianqian suddenly covered her mouth: "Water...where is the water coming from? The table isn't leaking!"
The water stains gradually darkened under the candlelight, turning from gray to black, and eventually revealing patterns resembling palm lines.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue screamed in terror and buried her head in my arms.
Qianqian and the pink-haired girl kept squeezing towards me.
I was speechless for a moment.
This audio was clearly prepared in advance.
As the audio started playing, Xia's voice suddenly became hoarse, with a distinct overlap between male and female voices.
