The participants were isolated in one of the lounges, and didn’t know what was happening outside. In front of the numerous cameras, most either closed their eyes to rest, meditated, or sat cross-legged, trying to make themselves appear a little more realistic, while the psychics who were actually capable did not do any of this.
Yuan Zhongzhou carefully wiped his bell with a flannel cloth. Zhu Xiya cleaned the incense ash in the small copper stove, dirtying her hands. Ah Huo asked the staff for a pack of cookies and ate them happily. He Jinglian sat on the sofa while holding her knees in a daze. Ding Puhang played a mobile game, occasionally cursing his pig teammates from time to time.
They did not behave any differently from ordinary people. However, when Yang Shenglan’s necklace began to heat up, they all stopped what they were doing, raised their heads, and stared into space.
Ah Huo and He Jinglian behaved exactly the same way and immediately fled the sofa to wander around the room. They found a narrow corner to squeeze themselves into, their eyes full of vigilance and panic, like two small animals being chased by a fierce beast with no way to escape.
Ding Puhang clutched his phone and glanced to the left and right, as if looking for something. He knew that something odd had invaded this place, but didn’t know exactly what the situation was. He just felt cold, very cold, so he lifted up a sofa cushion and wrapped himself securely.
Zhu Xiya and Yuan Zhongzhou’s senses were the clearest. They both looked up into the void, their expressions astonished, and then showing a bit of bewilderment. Finally, they both closed their eyes and held their hands together, as if they were praying, and each issuing an exclamation.
Zhu Xiya: “I thought she had completely disappeared, but for some reason, she came back just now. This situation is quite rare!”
Yuan Zhongzhou: “To summon a dissipated Yin spirit back to the world, it seems that your program team has invited an extraordinary person.” He began to ring the bell with his head tilted slightly, and the tips of his ears trembled slightly, as if he was trying to explore something. Only after a long time did he emphasize once again, “He is very powerful, very, very powerful.”
The director was able to see all of the rooms through the monitor, so his heart was in turmoil. He looked at Yuan Zhongzhou and Zhu Xiya, who had knelt down to recite a mantra for those who passed, and then at Fan Jialuo, who was holding the hands of Mother Yang and Yang Shengfei while recalling a dead spirit back to the world, and suddenly realized what he and Song Wennuan had done—They had found a group of monsters, who had changed their otherwise simple and peaceful world!
After the soul invocation ceremony was over, Mother Yang smiled and cried, wiping her tears while saying anxiously, “I’m sorry Sir, I only saw my daughter and nothing else. I don’t know who the murderer is.” Just now, she had a very beautiful dream. She saw her daughter grow up safely, get married, and give birth to two children. She brought them home, and they circled around her and amused her. They happily called out for their mom and grandma, and their smiles were so vivid.
When Mother Yang opened her eyes, she almost thought that it was not just a dream, but that her daughter was indeed alive and well in another world. Her heart overflowed with joy, but when her gaze fell on the necklace, she shed hot tears.
“I’m so useless! I didn’t even see anything!” A strong sense of guilt hit Mother Yang, causing her to pound her chest.
“Mom, it’s okay, I saw it. I saw it all. Don’t worry, and don’t ask too many questions. We’re recording a program right now, so I’ll explain in detail when I get back, okay?” Yang Shengfei quickly patted his mother’s thin back.
“You really saw it? What did you see?” How could Mother Yang not be in a hurry. She wished she could put her hands into her son’s mouth and pull the words out.
“Auntie, don’t worry, we’ll attend a meeting first and then explain it to you later. There are too many areas of doubt that need to be discussed now, or else we may forget about them later.” Song Rui spread out his notebook on the table.
Mother Yang stretched out her neck to look, only to see the word “Doubts” written at the top of the page, with first, second, and third items listed below. The list was long and dense, and there was a huge question mark before each number, showing it was very urgent.
Mother Yang immediately dismissed the idea of getting to the root of the matter, and waved her hands. “Go to the meeting, I won’t ask anything. This time, we can find my daughter’s murderer, right?” She stared at Song Rui, anxiously waiting for a definite answer.
“Yes, we can definitely do it this time.” Song Rui nodded without hesitation.
Mother Yang’s tears began to fall again, and she urged, “Go quickly.” At the same time, she kneeled at Fan Jialuo’s feet, wanting to kowtow to him in thanks. Fan Jialuo only helped her up gently, sat her on a chair, and placed his palm on the back of her head, comforting her softly, “You are too tired. Sleep for a while, and the misfortune will soon pass.”

“Come on, it will cause a stir, but how many people will really believe it? You don’t know, but the screenwriter of our program has become famous. Not only are the netizens praising him, but many directors are asking me for his name. They say that they want to hire him to write a script for a high salary.” Song Wennuan rolled her eyes.
The director was puzzled and said, “But we don’t have a screenwriter for the program!” He didn’t realize the meaning of her words until he finished speaking, and he couldn’t help but sigh as he scratched his head. “Forget it, forget it. Believe it or not, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a reality show or a fantasy drama, as long as the ratings are high enough.”
The two walked away while shaking their heads, while Fan Jialuo sat in the lounge and carefully checked Xu Yiyang’s homework. Chinese and math were not difficult for him, but English made him hesitate for a moment.
“I haven’t learned this word. Wait a minute, I’ll look it up in the dictionary. How do I pronounce it? Is it pronounced this way? But I’ve also heard it pronounced like that…” He took out his mobile phone, frowning as he rummaged around.
Xu Yiyang covered his mouth and snickered, and he couldn’t help but laugh even more happily after the back of his head was gently knocked by his big brother.
The two of them stumbled over the English homework and double checked it several times before packing their bags and preparing to go home, only to see the rest of the participants also coming through the corridor. Song Rui, Zhuang Zhen, and Yang Shengfei had also just finished their meeting, and bumped into them after opening the door of the meeting room.
Yang Shengfei’s eyes were red and his face was haggard. If you looked closely, you would find that his back and waist were no longer straight, as if they were bent by some invisible weight. Everything he encountered in the illusory dream had seriously injured his vitality, and he wouldn’t be able to recover for three to five months. Through the spirit invocation, he experienced his sister’s despair and pain firsthand, so his hatred for the murderer had deepened, to the point that he wanted to drink his blood and eat his flesh.
He looked at the psychics indifferently, not even greeting them. This wasn’t to be polite, nor to burn any bridges, but simply because he was too tired and hateful. Apart from catching the murderer, his brain wouldn’t think of anything else.
Yuan Zhongzhou and the others understood his mood very well, so they were the first to show him a gentle smile. However, He Jinglian didn’t know why. She just glanced at Yang Shengfei and suddenly fell to the ground, followed by her covering her face with her hands and letting out a terrible scream, “Ahhh! It hurts! My eyes! My eyes! Don’t, don’t hit me!”
She kept screaming, rolling, and scratching at the ground, and her crazy appearance scared the people around her.
Yuan Zhongzhou tried to comfort her, but just as he stretched out his hand, it felt like he was being burned by a branding iron, and he actually recoiled back with a look of horror. He felt intense resentment and pain coming from her. It was like an abyssal swamp, where whoever touched it would sink into it!
Zhu Xiya also extended and retracted her hand, saying in disbelief, “How could this be? Hasn’t that wronged soul already left?”
Everyone retreated into the distance and looked at He Jinglian in horror. One moment she arched her back and screamed, while in the next she curled her legs and begged for mercy. She would stretch out her hands and scratch the ground, trying to crawl further away, and then roll backwards and cry until she could barely breathe. Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils were out of focus, as if she couldn’t see anything. The muscles on her face kept twitching, twisting, and trembling constantly, and when her fingertips lightly touched her eye sockets, she let out a shrill scream, as if she was enduring great pain.
No one knew what was happening to her, and only Yang Shengfei was vaguely aware of her current situation. He could imagine what she was experiencing, because he had also experienced the same thing just now. If Mr. Fan had not gently held his shoulder down, giving him endless courage and strength, he would have rolled around in pain like the young girl.
The torture that beast inflicted on his sister was not something that humans could endure!
He was about to run over to help the girl, but Dr. Song grabbed his wrist tightly, and warned in a deep voice, “Anyone can touch her, except you. You passed on the pain she is currently feeling to her.”
“What?” Yang Shengfei was dumbfounded.
Song Rui shook his head, unable to explain more, because even if he explained, these people would not understand. He looked at Fan Jialuo, who was holding the little boy’s hand and walking over quickly. As expected, he could touch what the others couldn’t. He held the girl’s trembling shoulders with one hand, while placing his other on her forehead that was covered in cold sweat and quietly whispering, “Shh, shh, quiet, quiet. Yes, that’s it, don’t struggle, you’ll be fine soon. It’s not true, none of that is true…”
Despite these words, two lines of bloody tears flowed down from the young girl’s tightly closed eyes, as if her eyes were really gouged out, and her exposed arms and legs also showed the scars from being whipped by a belt. Her perception and consciousness were so powerful that she brought everything from the illusion to reality.
She kept raising her head, but her slender neck bent downward, forming a U-shape, and faint bruises in the shape of human hands appeared faintly, as if an invisible person was strangling her fiercely, suffocating her. If this continued, her neck would definitely snap, and she would die from the gruesome memory!
People kept screaming in the corridor, and Song Wennuan, who had heard the news, was in a cold sweat.
Fan Jialuo moved his palm downward and covered the young girl’s already bruised neck, soothing over and over, “Don’t be afraid, you’re not alone. Do you see that shimmering light? Follow it and you can escape. Do you hear my voice? It’s not real, nothing you’re going through is real. You’re fine, you’re fine. Yes, that’s it, follow me slowly, slowly, you’re getting closer, you’re almost out!”
As soon as he finished speaking, He Jinglian opened her eyes, opened her mouth wide, and let out a long hiss. She was awake, and although there were bloody tears in her eyes and bruises on her neck, she was indeed awake. She immediately threw herself into Fan Jialuo’s arms, clinging to his cold body.
She just sobbed, unable to say a complete sentence. Those terrible scenes and extremely painful feelings were simply beyond the scope of words.
Song Rui’s eyes, which were originally smiling, grew cold and frozen, his sharp gaze lingering on the girl’s slender arms for a moment.
He Jinglian seemed to have sensed something, and quickly let go of Fan Jialuo as if she had been electrocuted. She hid behind him, quietly pinching a corner of his clothes. No matter what others asked, she just shook her head, unwilling to speak.
Song Wennuan saw that she was really uncomfortable, so she waved her hands and said, “Let’s all leave. Let her take it easy and don’t surround her. I will call her mother and a car to send her to the hospital.”
Everyone reluctantly dispersed, but Yuan Zhongzhou stayed in place, silently reciting a prayer with folded hands. He looked at Fan Jialuo with a hint of inquiry and awe, because he seemed to have glimpsed some secrets. Initially, he thought the young man was just an ordinary person, but later, he gradually sensed the other party’s power. However, recently, the young man somehow grew stronger, and in the future, he might become increasingly powerful…
His power kept growing, and Yuan Zhongzhou couldn’t detect his upper limit!
Even as a psychic, Yuan Zhongzhou couldn’t figure out what type of existence this person was. Could a dissipated soul be brought back to this Yang world with love and faith alone? No, it couldn’t be done. It was impossible without an absolutely strong consciousness and spiritual power. The gates of hell were not for humans to push open!
He looked deeply at Fan Jialuo before leaving with heavy steps. Ah Huo walked away, but then turned back and hid in a corner to peek. He was very worried about the little girl.
Fan Jialuo was about to wipe away the blood and tears on He Jinglian’s cheeks with his fingertips when Song Rui had already blocked them with a pack of wet tissues, saying gently, “Wipe your face.”
He Jinglian quickly took the wet tissues, her panicked and urgent appearance like she was taking chestnuts from the fire.
Song Rui chuckled a few times, causing the little girl to tremble incessantly. When Fan Jialuo wrinkled his brows and glared at him, he stood up and took the initiative to walk a little further away, but the smile on his lips became extra genuine. This person could actually get angry at him…
“You shouldn’t have come to this show. In fact, you should stay away from anyone who has suffered misfortune. If you continue like this, you might die.” As Fan Jialuo said this, his eyes were firmly fixed on the strangulation marks on the young girl’s neck.
“But my family needs money. My younger brother is very good at studying, so I have to pay for his schooling.” He Jinglian lowered her head to wipe her face, her voice muffled.
“It’s the responsibility of your parents to provide for your brother, not yours. Do they know about your situation?” Fan Jialuo’s brows knitted together tighter and tighter.
“They know, but there’s nothing they can do. My brother’s tuition fee is more than 100,000 yuan a semester. He had a hard time getting into such a good school, we can’t delay his future.”
“Your brother’s future can’t be delayed, but can yours be delayed? A child as old as you should still be in school, right? Have your parents ever considered you? If not, I suggest you think for yourself and stop being manipulated and used by them. I am not being an alarmist. If you encounter a similar situation again and you have no one around you who can interrupt the transmission, you will die!” Fan Jialuo repeatedly cautioned the young girl in a serious manner. He looked at her with pity.
However, the young girl shook her head again and again, unwilling to accept the reality. “No, Mr. Fan, you should know my situation, right? It is no exaggeration to say that in this world, no one can deceive me. My parents are very concerned about me, and are nervous every time I have an accident, but they can’t help it. Our family is too poor, and I have this ability, so if I don’t work a little more, who should support our family? Mom and Dad are not manipulating me, they love me, I can feel it.”
She kept nodding her head, as if doing so would add credibility to her words. Her special ability indeed made it difficult for her to be deceived by anyone. Positive emotions, negative emotions, good thoughts, and evil thoughts were all transparent to her.
Fan Jialuo placed his hand on top of her head and sighed. “I know your ability, but I want to ask you a question: Do you know what true love and care are? Have you ever experienced that feeling firsthand?”
He Jinglian was stopped by his question. She seemed to think of something, and a tinge of green appeared on her already pale face. Yes, had she ever felt real love and care? If she never had, then how did she know that what her parents gave her was love and care?
Fan Jialuo held her slightly trembling hand and said softly, “I can tell you what real care is, but regarding real love, you have to find it yourself.” He closed his eyes and channeled his emotions, and a short while later, he let go of the girl’s hand after her face regained its rosy color, and led the little boy away slowly.
Song Rui followed him, and Yang Shengfei and Zhuang Zhen also left.
At this time, Mother He ran out of the elevator and asked anxiously, “Lianlian, are you okay? Mom was scared to death when she got the call from Director Song! What happened just now? Ah! Why is there blood on your face? Are you hurt? Hurry hurry hurry, Mom will take you to the hospital. We can’t let anything happen to you, our family depends on you!”
Her anxiety and concern were genuine, but after experiencing the care transmitted by Mr. Fan, He Jinglian let out a bitter laugh. It turned out that real care was warm and soft, wrapped around you like a stream of water. It allowed you to feel the most peaceful tranquility and the warmest comfort in the most primitive environment.
However, the care conveyed by her mother was like a membrane. Although it surrounded her in an airtight manner and seemed safe, it didn’t have the same warmth and softness, nor the tranquility, peace, and comfort. It was very thin, very hard, very vague, and noisy. After sensing it for too long, He Jinglian felt that she was having difficulty breathing.
She quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked bluntly, “Mom, are you worried about my health or that I won’t be able to continue providing for my brother if I fall ill? Am I your daughter, or a tool for you to make money?” In fact, she vaguely knew something, but she neer dared to think about it in that way.
Mother He was stunned for a while before she questioned sharply, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could Mom treat you as a tool to make money? Mom treats you and your younger brother the same, and has never favored anyone! Even if Mom was biased, I was biased towards you. Everything you eat, wear, and use, which one isn’t better than your brother?”
“Then let me retire. I want to go back to school.”
Mother He was dumbfounded. Her lips twitched a few times, but she couldn’t say anything for a long time. She was flustered and angry at the same time. Had this child taken the wrong medicine today? Why was she suddenly disobedient? Realizing that her child could feel her negative emotions, she hastily suppressed those feelings and then skillfully released care and love. It was actually very easy to do. As long as she thought of this child as a money tree, she could forgive her for all of her rebellious actions.
He Jinglian looked at her silently, but there now was a dense sorrow in her eyes.
Man….this is a scum mother!
Sigh….
