Shocking! A master of metaphysics has been mind-reading!

The dappled light from outside the window flashed across Lu Qiu's face, and his fingers involuntarily clenched, his heart pounding nervously.

He hadn't known Xia Wange for long, but he understood her personality somewhat. She was always composed and never seemed as impatient as she had just been.

Lu Qiu didn't know if something terrible had happened on her end, or if he had finally gotten the "opportunity" she had mentioned.

The driver had been driving Lu Qiu for a long time, and he knew that his boss was in a hurry today, so he changed his usual habit of driving slowly and deliberately, and directly increased the speed to the maximum.

Although he didn't understand why the boss had driven to an intersection, he still drove to his destination and pulled over.

Lu Qiu sat in the back seat, his eyes fixed on the distance with a deep gaze.

On the other side, Aunt Tan and a few others watched as Xia Wange lit an incense stick, uttered some nonsensical words, and left without even locking the shop door.

It was only then that they realized that this small shop had never had a roller shutter door like other small shops; it only had two bare glass doors, and now, the lock that used to hang on them was gone.

It means that if they want to go in, they can just push the door open and go in.

"How so?" someone asked.

They weren't in charge and didn't want to take responsibility, so they asked about everything.

Aunt Tan glared fiercely in the direction Xia Wange had left. "Come on, since her shop is open for business, it's not illegal for us to go in and browse, right, Tan Laosan?"

Before Tan Laosan could reply, Tan Ma took the lead and walked into the shop. After taking only a few steps, she suddenly felt a little dizzy, as if the shop in front of her had suddenly disappeared. Shaking her head, Tan Ma looked in the direction of the shop on the left and continued to stride over there.

She rested her hand on the glass door, frowned, turned around, and called out, "What are you all standing there for? Come in!"

But before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that the brightly lit shop was right behind her! When she turned around again, she found her arm hanging loosely in the air as if she were about to push open a door, and in front of her were the relatives she had brought with her!

"What happened?" Aunt Tan was speechless with shock. "Wasn't I just pushing open the shop door?"

One of the relatives, a thin woman, was still trembling. "Second Aunt, you took a few steps towards that shop and then suddenly turned around and walked back! We...we thought you changed your mind! What...what did you see?"

Aunt Tan stared wide-eyed, her face alternating between pale and flushed, clearly terrified. She spat out a mouthful of saliva. "I was just getting old and my eyesight was failing me; I was dizzy for a moment! I refuse to believe I can't get in!"

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the entrance of the small shop.

Suddenly, a brick appeared under her feet, and she tripped and fell to the ground. Her knee hurt, and she realized that she was kneeling in front of the incense stick that the woman had lit earlier!

Looking at the incense stick in front of her, Tan's mother turned to look at the relatives standing there. "What...what just happened?"

"Second Aunt!" The young men were all pale with fright. "Just now, after you said you didn't believe we couldn't get in, you went straight towards that incense burner. Second Aunt, let's leave first. This place is very eerie!"

Tan's mother's pupils suddenly dilated. She glanced at the wavering relatives, then at the incense stick in front of her, and shrieked, "Even ghosts are afraid of wicked people! I refuse to believe it! These things really exist in this world?! It must be the incense that's the problem! Just like in the TV dramas! This incense can make people dizzy! It must be because we inhaled this incense!"

After saying that, Aunt Tan reached out to break off the incense stick, but she grasped at it several times and found that she was holding nothing. When she opened her eyes, the incense stick was still there!

It was clearly within reach of one hand, but she tried several times and still couldn't grasp it! The incense stick was right there in the ground, within easy reach of her! But no matter how hard she tried, grabbing with both hands in quick succession, she still couldn't get it!

The relatives behind her were terrified. They saw Tan's mother frantically grabbing at something while spinning around, shouting, "Got it! Killed it! Killed it!"

But watching the other person's steps, they were clearly getting further and further away from that incense stick!

The space in front of this small shop is only about 50 square meters, yet the other party kept circling around it!

Now, everyone was quite frightened. They had just seen how devout the disheveled woman was kneeling before that man. Who knew, she might really be a powerful master!

The group looked around, and one of them spoke up, asking their leader, "Tan Laosan, why don't we leave? This kind of thing is very risky. It's better to believe it than not. We're just helping out because we're relatives, trying to get some money and earn some extra cash. There's no need to put ourselves in this mess, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, to be honest, my second uncle died young, my cousin died too, and my second aunt might remarry or move to my cousin's city if she needs money. By then, she won't be a member of the Tan family anymore, so there's no need for us to work so hard, right?"

"Brother Tan, say something! To be honest, you're the one who brought us all together. You said all we had to do was support you, but it's not that we're not going to support you, it's just that we've run into those things!"

"Third Brother, I don't care, I'm quitting. Do whatever you want with me."

After a flurry of complaints from several people, one of them finally realized something was wrong.

The man said in a trembling voice, "You, you look at Third Brother, why is his face so pale?"

Several people turned to look. Although they all looked unwell, they certainly didn't look like Tan Laosan, whose face was pale and bluish-white, which was quite frightening!

Someone nudged him, "Third Brother, Third Brother!"

Suddenly, Tan Laosan's burly body trembled violently, then he revealed a kind smile. He raised his hand to touch his temple and looked at the person who pushed him with a smile, "Fourth brother's wife, what are you doing?"

The strange tone of voice left everyone puzzled.

"Third Brother, you..."

"Fourth brother's wife, are you blind? I'm not your third brother, I'm clearly your third sister-in-law."

The group of people's eyes widened instantly, and they all took a few steps back, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Third brother, don't scare me like this, I'm scared," the youngest child cried out in a trembling voice.

"Youngest son, when has your third sister-in-law ever lied to you? Don't you love her sweet fermented rice and eggs the most?"

"Aaaaaah! I'm not staying with you guys! I want to go home!"

After saying that, he screamed and rushed towards the main road. Just as he was about to reach the road, he took a step and his head throbbed. He realized that he had bumped into his third brother's pale face.

He stumbled and fell to the ground, wiping away tears as he asked, "Did I...did I just run away?! I definitely ran away!"
