Master, Your Wife Has Become a Super Star Through Fortune-Telling-Chapter 68 - 69: The Developed Photos

The image that followed was a blurry mess, filled with the sound of sizzling static and a woman’s occasional screams.

[Did that thing come for her?]

[The streamer warned her not to risk it!]

[Yeah, she’s so far away, the streamer can’t do anything, and she didn’t take it seriously herself.]

[All you can say is, she had it coming.]

When the feed became clear again, the room was eerily quiet. A single woman was sprawled on the floor, looking completely unhinged.

"A ghost! A ghost!"

Su Nian watched with a cold expression. In that brief moment, not even she knew what Xi Xi had seen.

[So scary!]

[How can a hotel like that even stay in business!]

[This is a perfect example of ’play stupid games, win stupid prizes’!]

Su Nian’s voice was cold and clear, tinged with a bit of sadness. "I don’t want to see a life disappear before my eyes, but I was truly powerless to help."

[Don’t be sad, Streamer. There was really nothing you could do.]

[She wouldn’t listen to any advice. The streamer even said that leaving right away was her only chance, and that if disaster struck, she wouldn’t be able to save her.]

[Maybe it was just fate.]

Su Nian’s divination hadn’t been wrong, but the other party simply refused to listen, leaving Su Nian helpless.

After a while, Su Nian finally composed herself and prepared to start the next session.

Just then, a small, frantically blinking red dot caught Su Nian’s attention.

[Streamer, it’s me, the guy from last night!!!]

[I’m here with an update!!!]

The multiple exclamation points following the messages quickly drew her eye.

Su Nian instantly remembered yesterday’s unlucky fellow.

"Streamer! Hi everyone, I’m Xiao Qi."

It was the same Xiao Qi from yesterday, only his face was now pale and ashen.

He looked as if he had experienced something indescribable.

"St-Streamer... I got my photos developed!"

[I remember now, the weird one from last night.]

[Yeah, the one talking about a ghost or something. I didn’t get it at all yesterday, I was totally confused.]

Su Nian said, "Why don’t you tell us what happened."

Xiao Qi’s lips trembled as if he was recalling something terrifying and indescribable.

"I’d felt like something was off for a while. My neck would always hurt when I was playing games, and at first, I didn’t understand what was wrong with me."

"I couldn’t figure out the cause, so I went to several hospitals for check-ups, but they couldn’t find anything."

"Then yesterday, I managed to win a giveaway slot with you, Streamer. With your guidance, I realized it seemed to happen only when I sat at this desk."

"Then you reminded me that I could record it with a camera. I happened to have a point-and-shoot camera at home, so I gave it a try."

"And when I went to get the film developed today, not only me, but even the shop owner was scared out of his wits!"

[Alright, alright, stop keeping us in suspense!]

[Yeah, seriously, what happened? Spit it out!]

[I don’t see the point of being so mysterious.]

[Don’t tell me there’s someone standing behind him.]

Xiao Qi swallowed hard, then pulled out a photograph.

"Get ready, take a look for yourselves!"

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Qi held a somewhat blurry photo up to the camera.

Everything in the photo looked the same as his small room, except for one thing: behind the desk, a pair of feet was dangling in midair.

[What is that!!!!]

[Wait, let me get this straight. So it’s the ghost of the person who committed suicide, and its feet are dangling in the air, kicking Xiao Qi in the neck, which is why his neck was sore!]

[The more you think about it, the scarier it gets!]

[What the hell, not this! I just told my mom my neck was sore and felt like someone was tapping me from behind.]

Xiao Qi had reacted the same way when he first saw the photo yesterday. In that instant, it all made sense. The sensation he’d been feeling was the dangling feet of the person who had hanged themselves, swinging back and forth, constantly brushing against his neck...

[Guys, you feel me? I’m scared shitless, okay?]

"Streamer, I did what you said and moved out of that apartment. Yesterday I specifically looked for a new place. It’s a little more expensive and a bit smaller, but it gets plenty of sunlight. Could you please take a look and see if it’s okay?"

Su Nian nodded.

Xiao Qi was very talkative. Even though it was the middle of the night, he was still on the street moving his things.

[Why not move during the day?]

[Yeah, it’s so dark and scary right now!]

[He probably can’t miss work.]

With a bag in his left hand and another in his right, Xiao Qi had hung his phone around his neck to keep his hands free.

Although he couldn’t see the screen, he had a good idea of what everyone was asking.

"I have to work during the day. I do odd jobs at a hotel. My pay isn’t great, and if I take a day off, they dock two hundred from my perfect attendance bonus. My rent alone is over a thousand, and I have to send some money home. If they docked any more, I’d have nothing left to spend."

[His life is so hard.]

[Even though his life is really tough, Xiao Qi is so optimistic.]

[Xiao Qi has a really great attitude.]

"Besides, this is my last trip! I’m almost there, and then I can finally rest!"

Xiao Qi was slightly out of breath by the time he climbed to the third floor. He had once again rented a place in an urban village.

This apartment wasn’t as nice on the inside as his last one, but the other conditions were much better.

"Streamer, could you please help me check out this room!"

Su Nian: "Take the camera and do a full circle for me."

Su Nian watched carefully, and after confirming that the entity wasn’t there, she nodded.

Xiao Qi broke into a smile and continued rambling.

"After I saw something was wrong with the photo yesterday, I started asking around. That’s when I found out someone had committed suicide in that apartment before."

"But the landlord thought it was bad luck and was afraid he wouldn’t be able to rent it out, so he deliberately hid the fact and rented it to me, an out-of-towner! I was so pissed when I found out yesterday. My lease was almost up anyway, so I decided not to live there anymore and quickly found a new place."

Xiao Qi kept on rambling, but no one interrupted him.

Until he finally became embarrassed himself.

"Sorry, Streamer. I’m talking too much."

A gentle smile touched Su Nian’s eyes. She liked people who were so full of life.

"It’s fine. You have a great attitude. Now that you’re away from that thing, your facial aura is gradually returning to normal. Your future fortune looks pretty good. You won’t be fabulously wealthy, but you will live a happy and fulfilling life."

What Su Nian didn’t say was that his parents would pass away in the near future.

Xiao Qi was a good person. He worked hard to earn money, partly to take care of his parents back in his hometown.

And it was precisely because he was this kind of person that Su Nian was willing to say a little more for him.

"Okay, okay, I understand! Thank you, Streamer, thank you!"

Xiao Qi bowed deeply in gratitude.

But Su Nian just smiled. "Alright, you have work tomorrow. Get some rest."

Xiao Qi gave a simple, honest smile and nodded, then left the livestream.
