Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

In the live stream, occasionally gossipy fans would ask Shen Nian about her engagement. Shen Nian answered selectively, and then, as usual, started asking people to tell her fortune.

The first person to connect was a young girl who looked anxious.

"Master, please save my best friend."

"What's wrong with her?"

Shen Nian said.

"She kept telling me the past few days that she dreamed about a very handsome man."

【illusion?】

【I dreamt about him too, he was so handsome, but unfortunately I only dreamt about him once.】

My biggest wish is to dream about my idol every night before I go to sleep.

"She told me she dreams about that man every day. In her dreams, they go on dates and chat. She told me she thinks she's fallen in love with him."

"I thought he was joking, after all, it was just a dream. But my best friend seems to really believe that the man in her dream is real."

"She said they had added each other on WeChat through a dream, and that the man would order her milk tea and snacks every day, and also buy her a lot of expensive jewelry—she showed me those things, but I still didn't believe it. I thought she was just showing them to me on purpose to make me believe it."

"and then?"

"Then yesterday, she suddenly told me that she was going to meet that man in person. I was afraid something would happen to her, so I immediately called her parents. The three of us watched her and told her that either we would go with her, or we wouldn't let her go out—you can say that I don't respect her wishes, but we've been best friends for over twenty years, and I can't watch something happen to her."

"As a result, she took her ID card and wallet and ran away in the middle of the night yesterday. We've been looking for her all day today, but we haven't been able to find her. Her mother found an old blind man in our neighborhood who's known for his accurate divination, and he said that something bad has happened to her and that we should find someone with spiritual power to save her."

"Master, I've seen your livestream before, can you help her?"

【Wow, is it really that scary?】

[I forget who told me, but dreaming of someone with a clear face isn't a good thing; if that person speaks to you, you can't answer a single word.]

Is this a case of "yin peach blossom" (a type of romantic luck)?

I feel like I'm being used as a scapegoat.

That's terrifying. I remember a news story a while ago about a girl who dreamed of an address, went there, and then disappeared.

It really feels like they're looking for a scapegoat.

[And also, if you dream of receiving a call from an unknown number, don't call. Dreams are just mysterious things, you know.]

I hope the young lady is alright.

Give me your birth date and time.

In this urgent situation, Shen Nian began to calculate the horoscope after learning the birth details.

"The person is in that dry well on the mountain behind your house. If you go now, you should still be able to save them."

Shen Nian said, "Bring a few more men with you when you go."

The other party was initially surprised, then quickly nodded and said, "Then I'll go now, can I continue the live stream?"

Shen Nian nodded.

"Go."

The girl hurried away with her phone in her hand.

It seems they sent someone away.

Then, the camera pans to show her surrounded by eight or nine tall, muscular men.

I guess they're some kind of uncle or elder.

A group of people, carrying various tools, rushed towards the back mountain that Shen Nian had mentioned.

They all knew about the dry well that Shen Nian mentioned.

I used to warn the kids in the family many times not to go near it, lest they fall in.

In the past two years, we have rescued several people who accidentally fell in.

But this girl's best friend isn't a child either, so how did she end up falling in?

Shen Nian said calmly, "She's hallucinating. In her mind, it wouldn't be a dry well."

It could be a car, or it could be a room.

She thought her lover was inside, so she jumped in without hesitation.

However, it turned out to be a terrifying abyss.

The camera is shaky, and there's a lot of noise.

About half an hour later, the girl returned to the camera and said that the person had been rescued.

"But he fell into a coma and is now being prepared to be taken to the town hospital."

Shen Nian said, "There should be another corpse in that well. It should be a man. His clothes and appearance should match the man your best friend dreamed about."

The girl was startled: "You mean, the man she dreamed about... wasn't human?"

Shen Nian nodded: "More than that. He must have died with resentment, thrown into this well and unable to leave, trapped here day after day. That's why someone needs to take his place. If your best friend dies, she'll be trapped at the bottom of the well, just like him, with no hope of escape."

"What should we do? She's unconscious right now, is it because... she's trapped?"

Shen Nian said, "That's probably it. You can't handle this situation."

As Shen Nian spoke, she raised her hand and dialed a number.

"Someone will be coming to help you in a bit. Until they arrive, keep a close eye on your friend; she might be controlled and do something suicidal."

"Don't let anyone get close to that dry well; someone will take care of it."

What kind of phone call did Master Shen make? Was it to the relevant department?

Is there really a relevant department?

Actually, I've always suspected that Master Shen is someone from the relevant department...

Shen Nian thought for a moment and said, "You can contact me again if there's anything."

The girl thanked Shen Nian and hung up the phone.

"There shouldn't be any problems... Master Shen has already sent people to help."

[Hopefully... Ugh, what a load of rubbish, they actually have a system for finding scapegoats.]

The world is a vast and wondrous place.

Shen Nian drew the second person she was connected to.

This was a man with a somewhat stubble beard.

He was wearing a windbreaker and was sitting in the car.

"Master, save me!"

"I think I've encountered something."

Shen Nian: ...

Why are so many people encountering ghosts tonight?

...Is it because the Ghost Festival is approaching?

"I'm on a road trip, and I'm currently on National Highway xxx."

The man raised his phone and took a picture of the scenery outside the window.

It was pitch black outside the window, but one could vaguely see a vast wasteland.

The province he was in had magnificent scenery, but was sparsely populated, with many places along the way almost uninhabited.

"The navigation system says it will only take half an hour to get out of this road, but I've been driving on this road for three hours, and the location on the navigation system hasn't changed at all."

"Master, am I trapped in a maze of ghosts?"

Dude, is the signal bad in that area? This GPS sometimes malfunctions.

Why don't you drive a little further? Maybe it'll be fine in a while.

The man said excitedly, "It's not just being trapped in a maze; I also keep feeling like someone is whispering something next to me."

"But there's not a single living person here except me!!"

Are you too nervous and hallucinating?

[If you're on a road trip and the scenery is exactly the same all the way, could it be that you're too stressed and experiencing auditory hallucinations?]

Wait a minute, buddy, are you sure the name of that national highway you're talking about is correct?

But I've searched through all the navigation apps on my phone, and this national highway doesn't even exist within China!
