Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 17

Chapter 17: Encounter’s Debunking

Sang Jing glanced at Xie Yu and saw that she had no reaction, her head bowed as she fiddled with her little paper effigy and its new clothes.

Her gaze returned to the screen, and only then did Sang Jing respond to Encounter, “Hello.”

Encounter was indeed a prominent figure in the voice acting circle. In just a few minutes, Sang Jing’s livestreaming room was flooded with twenty to thirty thousand people, the vast majority of whom were here for Encounter. They didn’t even know what Sang Jing’s livestream was about.

【Big sister, we miss you so much!】

【That’s great, my wife is still here! I almost thought you retired. The thought of never hearing my wife’s voice again made me so sad I ate one less bowl of rice.】

【This streamer is so pretty. What’s her relationship with my wife, Encounter? As soon as my wife came back, she came to her livestream.】

【New Encounter fan here. This is the metaphysics section. Sang Sang’s livestream tonight is for divination and face reading.】

【Fortune-telling? So my wife believes in this! For my wife, I can be superstitious!】

After greeting her, Sang Jing saw that Encounter hadn’t spoken again and took the initiative. “If you didn’t come to the wrong livestream, please tell me what you want a reading on. Send your Bazi and photo through a private message. The fee is one torpedo.”

【One torpedo for one reading! Seriously, does the streamer dare to ask for so much!?】

【My god, this is my first time in this section. I didn’t know the livestreams here were so high-stakes.】

【I looked at the streamer’s profile. She’s just a new streamer, her account hasn’t even been open for a week. What’s her background and identity?】

【Can any of the streamer’s fans tell us? I’m a little curious.】

【Go to the forum next door, search for the two posts ‘Wen Ying’ and ‘Sang Jing’. You’ll know after you read them.】

…

【”Wen Ying” has entered the livestreaming room】

【User “Wen Ying” has sent Streamer Sang Jing Torpedo ×10】

【Wen Ying: Sang Sang, I’m here!】

The popularity of Sang Jing’s livestreaming room reached an unprecedented height, directly landing on the popularity chart and being pushed to the homepage by White Whale Live. In the metaphysics section, apart from the livestream of White Whale Live’s young mistress, Wenren Jin, and those few red-badged V-streamers who rarely went online, no other streamer had ever made it to the homepage.

Xie Yu finally looked up. Seeing the dense bullet comments and the soaring number of viewers, she was surprised. “Wow, so many people.”

At this moment, Encounter spoke, “Streamer, can you tell me if the rest of my life will be smooth?”

Just as Xie Yu’s voice faded, Encounter’s followed. The two voices were surprisingly similar, and many people in the livestreaming room raised questions.

【The big sister behind the streamer’s voice sounds so much like my wife, Encounter!!!】

【I’m an old fan of Encounter, it really sounds like her!!】

【Alright, I’ve found a substitute. I’ll be living here while my wife is away.】

【I get it! I get it!!! First, Wen Ying created hype, and now there’s an assistant with a voice that’s 80% similar to Encounter’s! The streamer is so cunning! She’s gained a reputation in metaphysics and also attracted Encounter’s fans, directly taking a huge lead!】

【The person above is right. The streamer just started her account, and Encounter, who hasn’t been heard from in three or four months, just shows up. How can it be such a coincidence?】

【Hahahaha, Encounter: They offered too much.】

Seeing what these people were saying, Xie Yu frowned and her face fell. “Sounds similar? How is it similar? She is she, and I am me. Can’t you use your brain before you speak? And some people are just guessing randomly. What, in your eyes, can’t there be capable people in this world? Can’t you achieve great things without status or background?”

That wasn’t enough. Xie Yu reached out, snatched the mouse, and kicked out all the people who had just said she and Encounter sounded similar and those who were speculating about Sang Jing.

She couldn’t stand even a little bit of injustice.

After doing all this, Assistant Xiao Xie returned the mouse to the streamer. “You can continue.”

Sang Jing: “…”

It feels less like I hired an assistant and more like I hired a boss.

There were too many bullet comments, piled up so that nothing could be seen clearly. Sang Jing collapsed some of them, clicked on Encounter’s avatar, and saw the Bazi she had sent.

“To be more accurate, I’ll need a recent photo,” Sang Jing said, knowing from the bullet comments that Encounter didn’t show her face. “If it’s not convenient, I’ll just tell you from your Bazi.”

Encounter: “That’s fine.”

“From your Bazi, the day stem is Ren water, born in the month of Wei. The day stem Ren water is generally weak, making it a weak body chart. The five elements are imbalanced and lack metal. You are plagued by illness and bedridden all year round.”

After speaking, Sang Jing frowned. “This is not your Bazi.”

Encounter had been able to stand out in the voice acting circle in three or four years because her timbre and vocal range could handle various roles, fitting them perfectly. Among her famous roles were generals and emperors. These types of roles were often calm and imposing, their voices carrying the authority to decide life and death, brooking no argument. Every word struck the heart. It was impossible for a person with a weak body to voice them.

Encounter laughed. “This is my Bazi.”

The implication was, Streamer, you’re wrong.

【User “Encounter” has sent Streamer Sang Jing Torpedo ×1】

Encounter: “Although the streamer didn’t read what I wanted, since she did a reading, the fee still has to be paid.”

With that, Encounter ended the link-up and left the livestreaming room.

Needless to say, the bullet comments were once again a barrage of mockery and sarcasm.

Sang Jing’s expression was calm. Bazi and face reading were things she had learned from the very beginning. Even her teacher had praised her eye. She wouldn’t be wrong, so the problem must be with this Encounter.

She deliberately used a fake Bazi to ‘debunk’ me. Why?

Encounter’s reputation online was excellent. She was neither servile nor overbearing, indifferent to fame and fortune, never participated in disputes with her peers, and never led her fans to stir up trouble. Tonight, this was…?

【Hahahahaha, the streamer got it wrong. She should just get out of the metaphysics section. After being debunked by Encounter, no one will believe her anymore.】

【I finally know why Encounter came. Last night, the streamer linked up with a fan of Encounter. Encounter was probably afraid that her fans would be scammed by an unscrupulous streamer, so she came forward personally.】

【Wuwuwu, my wife is so nice. She even pays attention to such small things. I will follow my wife for the rest of my life!】

【I knew it. How could Encounter suddenly come to a new streamer’s livestream? It turns out she was here to debunk her, hahahahaha.】

【Doesn’t this just prove that Wen Ying was just there to create hype for the streamer? The livestreams from the past two days were also staged, and those ghost faces were all special effects.】

【It’s obvious. Let’s go, let’s go. Don’t give this kind of streamer any more views. She only got on the homepage recommendation because she latched onto my wife, Encounter. This is probably the peak of the streamer’s life.】

…

The number of viewers in the livestreaming room plummeted. In the end, only a little over a thousand people were left, and the number was still decreasing.

Wen Ying was still there. She even ignored her manager’s warning and directly reposted Sang Jing’s livestream.

【Wen Ying: Sang Sang, I believe you.】

Now, regardless of whether Wen Ying spoke up for Sang Jing or not, it was basically confirmed that she was just there to create hype for Sang Jing.

Deep Space Entertainment wouldn’t issue a statement denying the relationship between Wen Ying and Sang Jing. If they denied it, Wen Ying’s rich only-daughter persona would completely collapse. On the other hand, by not acting now and tacitly accepting the online public opinion, some fans would even feel sorry for Wen Ying for promoting a new streamer like Sang Jing, feeling it wasn’t worth it for her.

Sang Jing glanced at the continuously decreasing number of viewers and pressed her brow, feeling a little tired.

Alright, the past few days have been for nothing.

From just now until now, there hadn’t been a single link-up request.

“I don’t want this smiley face. It’s not pretty,” Xie Yu said, throwing her little paper effigy on the table. Now, whenever she saw that big, grinning smiley face, she would think of Encounter.

Annoying, annoying, annoying!!!!

Those people had left, but the bullet comments were still scrolling. The more Xie Yu looked, the angrier she got. “They believe whatever Encounter says. They don’t even know Encounter’s Bazi. What was her intention, using a fake one for you to read? She’s clearly not a good person. Everything they say online is fake!”

“You know a person’s face but not their heart. It’s even harder to tell online. Why are you so angry? It’s not worth it,” Sang Jing said, taking out three sticks of incense from the side and lighting them. Then she drew a talisman and stuffed it into Xie Yu’s hand. “Cool down.”

Xie Yu looked at her. “Aren’t you angry? They’re saying those things about you.”

“I’m not angry.”

Xie Yu looked at her and saw the familiar smile on her face. “…”

The reserved person is also insincere.

After waiting for another ten minutes, someone finally requested to link up. The name was “Rainbow.”

Sang Jing accepted the link-up request.

The other party had their camera on. It was a pale girl, her cheeks deeply sunken, but her eyes were dark and bright, full of life. She smiled at the camera. “Hello, Sang Sang.”

Sang Jing returned the smile. “Hello.”

It was already very difficult to get a link-up with someone who wasn’t here to cause trouble at this point.

“Sang Sang, I don’t have anything I want a reading on. Can you see if I’m sick from the way I look?”

Rainbow pulled the camera back, and her upper body appeared on the screen. She was as thin as a skeleton, her sternum protruding high. Her shoulder-length hair was gray and dry, not at all what a young person should look like.

【What the hell! You scared me to death!】

【You’re already wearing a hospital gown. Of course you’re sick with a body like that.】

【Little girl, you should cooperate with the hospital’s treatment. You can’t just blindly seek any doctor when you’re desperate.】

【What kind of illness is this? It’s too terrifying.】

【I know this illness! A cousin of mine got this illness and passed away a few days later. They said it was some kind of exhaustion, and there was no cure.】

【Let’s see what Sang Sang says.】

Sang Jing’s gaze was fixed behind the girl. There was a large mass of yin energy behind her, covering the entire frame, almost swallowing the girl whole.

In the yin energy, ghost faces were squeezed together, their malevolence thick. They were attached to the girl, greedily sucking her life force.

“It’s not an illness,” Sang Jing said in a deep voice.

Rainbow was stunned for a moment, her voice trembling slightly. “Then… what is it?”

“Some unclean things have latched onto you.”

Sang Jing’s voice came from the screen. In front of the screen sat a young woman, holding a glass of red wine in her hand. The bright red liquid swirled gently with the movement of her hand.

The sound of footsteps approached from behind. The young woman turned her head and said softly and obediently, “Mom.”

“Why did you alert the snake by beating the grass? Everything she has will be yours sooner or later,” the person who came said unhappily, her gaze pausing on the screen in front of the woman. She said in a deep voice, “This Sang Jing has some skills. Master Ruan just saw her and Xie Yu on the Yin Road.”

“That’s why we can’t let her get so much attention. Xie Yu can’t be left alive, and Sang Jing is also a problem.”

“Don’t worry, Mom has already found someone,” Xie Yulan said, bending down to kiss the young woman on the cheek. “Xiao Yu, Mom will give you the best.”

Xie Yu’s lips curved. “Thank you, Mom.”
