After being linked to the merit system, I became an internet sensation through live streaming.

Chapter 2 Fate Swapped (Part 1)

[Oh my god, I was terrified! It was all an act! Streamer, you can't do this to us!]

Su Yixuan had no time to deal with the onlookers. She frowned and looked at the boy: "Where did you get involved with her?"

The boy, who had just recovered, suddenly rushed in front of the camera, tears streaming down his face, and cried, "Master, please save me! She's going to kill me!"

Su Yixuan shook her head: "She won't kill you, otherwise you wouldn't even have any ashes left by now."

The boy's expression froze for a moment: "If she doesn't kill me, why does she keep following me around, and even climbs into my bed at night?"

"Can you sense her?"

"No, but the icy touch and that indescribable feeling don't lie. Just thinking about it now sends chills down my spine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded.

[I can't take it anymore, I feel a chill run down my spine too~]

[It's more than that, I'm too scared to sleep naked at night, who knows if some little ghosts might float into my bed!]

Are we now completely convinced of the broadcaster's abilities? We need to trust science!

Believe in science, and also believe in metaphysics; they are not contradictory!

Seeing that the female ghost had quieted down, Su Yixuan said to the boy opposite her, "If you believe me, send me your name and birth date via private message!"

"Ding dong!"

That was fast! Looks like they were really scared!
[Mao Shi, date and time]

Su Yixuan glanced at his birth chart, did some calculations with her fingers, and sneered, "The birth chart you gave me is your own real one?"

When questioned, Mao Shi angrily shouted, "This is my birth chart. I wouldn't make up something like this."

Su Yixuan looked at the boy opposite her again seriously: "Your face tells me that you are orphaned, impoverished, lack yang energy, and destined for a short life. Yet your birth chart indicates both good fortune and longevity, with your parents living in good health and passing away peacefully. Isn't that a contradiction?"

"Impossible! Your calculations are inaccurate!"

Su Yixuan ignored his question and instead asked, "Among your relatives, friends, or neighbors, have any of them been poor and destitute before suddenly becoming successful?"

Mao Shi's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head: "No!"

Although he said no, he was already starting to waver.

He is from Yu'an County in this city. His parents are hardworking and capable, and they have saved up a lot of money through their own efforts.

In his childhood, he lived a wealthy life with no worries about food or clothing, and was the envy of other children in the town.

When he was seven years old, a bizarre car accident took the lives of his parents.

His uncles and aunts, under the guise of helping with the funeral, secretly deceived the young boy and divided up his inheritance.

Only his sickly uncle and aunt took care of him and kept him company, preventing him from being too sad.

Even though she knew he had a lot of money, she never asked him for it.

At that time, he vowed to treat his uncle's family well.

But now, someone is telling him it's all a conspiracy, how can he believe it!

Su Yixuan spread her hands: "If you don't want to believe it, then there's nothing I can do. The one who tied the knot must untie it. If we don't find the root cause, the female ghost can only hang on you and drain your last bit of yang energy. You two can go to the underworld and continue your relationship."

"Can't you just take her in?"

Su Yixuan shook her head: "She's not a vengeful ghost. She's also quite naive and has been manipulated without realizing it. Once you kick the bucket, her hands will be stained with murder cases, turning her into a vengeful ghost. Then I'll help you subdue her."

[Is this streamer any good? They keep dodging the question; they don't seem to have any real skills!] [We can't condemn them all at once! I've heard that ghosts that haven't harmed anyone are treated like human lives; you can't just kill them off right away, otherwise, wouldn't ghost hunters be no different from murderers?]

[The person upstairs is making it sound so real, pretending to know what they don't! Could they be an ally hired by the streamer?]

Seeing that Mao Shi kept his head down and didn't speak, Su Yixuan had no choice but to throw out the evidence again: "Their family has a boy who is about your age. He is an average student with average luck. His parents are frail and sick and take medicine all year round. They are a well-known poor family in the village. Until your parents had the accident, his parents' illness suddenly got better, and they made a lot of money."

Mao Shi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he demanded, "What do you mean?"

Su Yixuan carefully deduced, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "Your family's fortune has been switched. Originally, it was him who should have died. This female ghost was his girlfriend in life. Because you exchanged something with her, and she also gave you her keepsake, the female ghost mistakenly believes that you are the person she loved most in life. His ultimate goal in doing this is to make you die without anyone knowing."

The word "death" startled Mao Shi, who turned pale and pulled out a beautifully packaged picture book from a drawer.

This was a birthday gift from his elder brother, Mao Qiankun, which included all the works taken by his most beloved photographer during his lifetime. Because he loved them so much, he never took them out to look at them easily.

As soon as the picture book appeared on camera, Su Yixuan could see the billowing black mist baring its fangs and claws even through the screen.

"Master, is this what you mean?"

"Open the picture book now and start turning the pages. I'll stop when I say stop!"

Mao Shi struggled to control his fear, his hands trembling as he carefully turned to the first page. The paintings he used to love now transformed into countless skulls howling in agony as they lunged at him.

As page after page turned, Su Yixuan never called for a stop, and Mao Shi's heart relaxed slightly.

It's not him, it definitely isn't him!

"stop!"

Su Yixuan suddenly shouted to stop, and Mao Shi's hand trembled uncontrollably.

He glanced at the screen instinctively: "Master, what have you discovered?"

"Tear open the painting in the bottom right corner; there's something underneath."

[Seriously? This picture book is hard to get. If you tear it up, it might be gone forever. This guy should think twice!]

[It's just a picture book, nothing's more important than life!]

Mao Shi was also conflicted. This was his favorite photo, and he was afraid of damaging it if he touched it.

Suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his neck. Startled, Mao Shi tore open the picture book, and a soft, squishy thing fell onto the table.

Mao Shi picked it up and held it up to the camera: "Is this it?"

[A handkerchief?]

[It doesn't look like a handkerchief; it looks more like leather. It's definitely a female ghost's face! (Sneaky.jpg)]

Su Yixuan suddenly smiled slightly: "This weirdo who can't be roasted is really smart. It's her skin, and a living skin at that!"

Weird sweet potatoes that won't bake through: ...

"Ah!" Mao Shi screamed and threw the leather out.

Su Yixuan looked coldly at Mao Shi: "Do you still think he's innocent?"

Mao Shi suddenly grabbed his hair in anguish: "Impossible! After my parents passed away, it was my aunt's family who took me in, supported my education and living expenses, and helped my parents pay off their debts. They even planned for my future. I am so grateful to have such relatives. And now you're saying all of this is a conspiracy?"

[What kind of relative is so perfect, taking care of you without expecting anything in return? This is clearly a conspiracy!]

[The streamer is completely exaggerating; there's nothing supernatural about it. They're just trying to sell props. Let me see what Ofo (the bike-sharing company) is selling!]

What else can we sell? Those who know, know! Hehehe~
