Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 29

Chapter 29: You Animal! (Part 1)

“Sang Sang, this is it,” ‘Chang Haha’ aimed the camera at the altar in the second-floor room. This room had been specially emptied for worship, with only an altar and a kneeling cushion inside.

White smoke filled the room. It was clear that incense had just been offered, and the smoke made ‘Chang Haha’ not so haha, almost forcing tears from her eyes.

“Why isn’t the window open?” ‘Chang Haha’ said as she walked over and opened the window, then turned back to aim the camera at the object on the altar.

The camera zoomed in, gradually becoming clear, and met a ferocious face with green fangs, a dark red color, and bulging, protruding eyes that stared straight ahead.

【Ahhhhhhh!!!!】

【What’s going on, what’s going on, what’s going on? Do you have to do a jump scare? Can you be considerate of us?】

【I’m sorry, I’m a coward. I’m not watching anymore, wuwuwuwu.】

【I was so scared my head and feet both retracted into the blanket.】

【Wait, Haha, your family worships this thing??? Don’t you find it creepy?】

【This house belongs to it now. I’m out.】

【I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, no offense, no offense, no offense, no offense.】

【I suspect there’s a problem with this statue. It doesn’t look friendly.】

【I can’t help but have a conspiracy theory…】

“You said your family and your little uncle’s family each have one of these statues? Have you seen his family’s statue?” Sang Jing asked ‘Chang Haha’ while carefully examining the statue on the screen.

‘Chang Haha’ shook her head. “No. When we brought them home, both statues were covered with a red cloth. My little uncle said there were rules, and no one but the family could see the statue.”

“Then how is your little uncle’s family doing?”

“He’s doing business locally. His business has been very good recently, and he’s often on business trips and working overtime.”

“Then is he at home now?”

“No, he took on a big order these two days and is on a business trip for a few days. He won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.”

Sang Jing nodded. “Your family does have some problems. The paintings and this statue, in the short term, will cause illness and weakness. Over time, it will cause you to lose your wealth and luck, and in the end, it might even shorten your lifespan.”

‘Chang Haha’s’ face outside the camera turned pale. She slowly looked up and saw the deep red, ferocious wooden statue in front of her. She felt like it was grinning at her. She took two steps back and almost dropped her phone.

She asked with a sob, “Then, then what should I do, Sang Sang? Can you help me!?”

“This is easy to solve. Burn the paintings and send off the things in your house properly. Buy some incense and paper money and send them off for three consecutive days. As for this statue, while your little uncle is not at home, swap the two statues. The wealth and luck your family has lost will naturally come back,” Sang Jing said, then paused. “Do you understand what I mean?”

There were some things she didn’t say directly, but anyone who wasn’t slow should be able to understand.

Although ‘Chang Haha’ was scared, she was still calm. Her voice was weak. “I understand. I understand.”

Her little uncle had found the house, her little uncle had given her the paintings, and her little uncle had also brought back the statue. While her family was in turmoil and everything was going wrong, her little uncle was gaining both wealth and luck.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry about him finding out in the future. I’ll give you a contact number. They will help you,” Sang Jing said, opening her private chat with ‘Chang Haha’. She looked up at Cui Wangshu. “What’s your phone number?”

Cui Wangshu blinked. “Huh? Me?”

Sang Sang is giving her contact information to ‘Chang Haha’?

Cui Wangshu found a pen and paper and wrote down her contact information for Sang Jing.

Sang Jing sent it to ‘Chang Haha’, gave a few more instructions, and then ended the link-up.

【What did she just say? I really don’t know. I haven’t really looked into this before. I’m just here for the streamer and the little assistant’s faces.】

【My god, it’s her own family causing trouble.】

【So it was her little uncle who was harming them with the paintings and that statue?】

【Can the streamer explain? Is it really that magical? Can you transfer someone else’s wealth and luck to yourself?】

【Then if we find a very lucky and rich person, can we also get rich this way? Hehe (smirking face)】

【The person above, you’re not right.】

【So scary. If you don’t know about this, you wouldn’t even know you’re being harmed.】

Sang Jing was looking at the bullet comments, her gaze falling on a few of them. She said in a light voice, “There are some things you can do and some things you can’t. Using this method to seek wealth and profit for yourself will not only result in a backlash while you’re alive, but you will also go to hell and suffer on the mountain of knives and in the sea of fire after you die.”

“Oh, right, you still have to believe in science.”

【…】

【………】

【………………】

【It’s a bit like a dry joke.】

【How can the streamer say such a thing?】

【Hahahaha, when Sang Sang said that, there was a faint sense of helplessness.】

【Is she slapping her own face?】

【I know, this sentence is the livestream’s comma. Come on, let’s look forward to the next one.】

Sang Jing looked at the screen full of speechless comments and smiled to herself, then started to link up with the third person.

Wenren Jin had left the livestreaming room not long ago, taking a portion of the viewers with her, but there were still five or six thousand people watching Sang Jing’s livestream, and the interaction was very lively.

“Alright, let’s continue.”

Sang Jing saw the screen full of link-up requests. Just as she was about to move her mouse to choose one, an avatar suddenly flashed wildly. From the avatar, one could see the urgency of the person behind it.

After a moment of hesitation, Sang Jing accepted the request of the flashing avatar.

The screen changed, and a scholarly-looking young man with glasses and a white shirt appeared on the camera. He had a perfectly appropriate smile on his face. “Hello, streamer.”

Sang Jing nodded. “Hello.”

“Streamer, I know your rules. The fee is one torpedo,” the young man said, paying the fee very readily.

He had clearly watched Sang Jing’s livestream before. Without Sang Jing having to say anything, he made his request.

“Streamer, can you do a face reading for me?”

“I can,” Sang Jing said, enlarging his image and starting to look at his face.

A full forehead, high brow bones and a high nose bridge, lips that were neither thin nor thick, a clear jawline, the three courts and five eyes were all in proportion, and the four highs and three lows were perfectly three-dimensional.

According to current aesthetic standards, there was nothing wrong with this face. Even the mole at the corner of his eye was a recent trend.

Sang Jing glanced at it and then threw his image back into the corner. “Send me a photo of yourself, one from a year ago will do.”

The young man’s smile on the screen immediately stiffened. He raised his hand as if to pinch the bridge of his nose, then thought of something and put his hand down. “I don’t like taking pictures. I don’t have any. Can’t you just look at me like this?”

“Face reading, as the name implies, is to look at a person’s appearance and features. Just like a Bazi, it has to be real.”

The young man frowned. “What do you mean?”

Before Sang Jing could speak, Xie Yu sneered, “Your face is fake.”

【Plastic surgery???】

【Really? I can’t tell at all. It looks so natural.】

【I just saw it. This person is a fan of Encounter. That’s great. Encounter came with a fake Bazi, and now a fan is using a fake face for a reading. It’s really a case of like idol, like fan. Alright, alright, I’m turning from a fan to an anti of Encounter.】

【I know him! He’s a big fan of Encounter. His account is ‘Encounter is Mine’. He even organized an event before. Before the event, he said he had Encounter’s contact information and that Encounter would also go to the event. Many people believed him and commented on Encounter’s account. In the end, Encounter didn’t go to the event, and he said it was Encounter who bailed at the last minute. Encounter was even cursed at for a while.】

【This isn’t a fan, this is an anti-fan.】

The young man’s smile was gone. He gritted his teeth and said calmly, “I’ve always looked like this.”

He had spent over a million on the best technology. How could someone tell just by looking at him through a screen? Absolutely impossible.

“If you insist, then I can only look at you like this.”

Sang Jing smiled. Xie Yu, who was beside her, clearly felt her displeasure and moved to the side.

What did this person do to make Sang Jing so angry?

Sang Jing closed her eyes for a moment, then swiped her fingertip across her eyelid. When she opened her eyes again, she saw right through the person on the screen and saw his original appearance.

“A flat forehead means no official career. Both parents died early. The hairline at the migration palace on the side of the forehead is receding and uneven, meaning you’ve left your hometown and are wandering without a fixed residence. The temples and the fishtail palace at the corner of the eyes are sunken and have a mole, meaning you often argue with people and are not dedicated in relationships, fickle. In addition, the area under your eyelids is bruised, meaning you have many fleeting romances. If you get married, you will also get divorced due to a disharmonious relationship. The wealth palace on the tip of your nose is wide but dark and has acne, meaning you’ve made a fortune through some means in recent years, but it’s all ill-gotten gains.”

The young man laughed after hearing this. This laugh was not as scholarly and kind as at the beginning, but had a strange, sinister air. He raised his head, looking down on her. “Divorce? You’re wrong. I’m not married at all.”

Only after speaking did he realize that he had only been focused on picking out the wrong parts of Sang Jing’s words and had forgotten the meaning of her words.

【Oh my god, from what Sang Sang is saying, this person’s entire face is fake.】

【I was just praising him at the beginning, saying he looked scholarly and gentle. I didn’t expect it was all an act! His gaze just now scared me to death.】

【Not married but has many fleeting romances and is fickle. He’s not a cheater who doesn’t take responsibility, is he!】

【So scary. The thought of having such a person who can disguise themselves so well around is terrifying!】

【How can such a person get rich!】

【You missed it. Sang Sang said he made ill-gotten gains. The money probably didn’t come from a clean source!】

【Is this real? Can you really tell so much just by looking at a face?】

“Wrong!! Everything you said is wrong!” The young man stood up emotionally, his hands on the table, glaring at the livestream screen. The skin at the corner of his eyes wrinkled from the exaggerated expression. When he changed his expression again, the skin in that area didn’t retract and just piled up.

“And you’re still livestreaming divination and face reading? You’re a scammer!”

Xie Yu squinted her eyes. “Oh, a cornered dog will jump over the wall.”

The young man immediately looked over when he heard her speak and pointed at her. “You! You’re a fake too! Your voice is definitely fake, it’s made. It’s impossible for there to be a voice like Encounter’s in this world!”

Xie Yu’s face darkened.

This was the one thing she couldn’t stand to hear now. At first, she couldn’t stand people saying she and Encounter were similar, and now she didn’t even want to hear the name Encounter.

Sang Jing raised her hand and moved the laptop to face her, ignoring the person on the screen who was raging and jumping around. She continued, “Ill-gotten gains are also called fierce wealth. You’ve spent that money, and you’ve added sins to your life. You will have to bear all these sins yourself in the end. Your glabella is dark and red. You will face retribution in the next few days. Your ill-gotten gains should involve the lives of living beings, most likely stray cats and dogs, and other small animals, such as rats, snakes, and birds.”

“You’re the one who will face retribution!” The person whose true nature had been exposed could no longer pretend. He roared at Sang Jing, his gaze shifting to the glass on the side. He violently picked it up and threw it on the ground.

The glass shards that flew up from the glass hitting the ground directly exploded into his eyes.

“Ah!!!”

The camera was in chaos, shaking a few times before refocusing. The other side was using a phone, which had now fallen to the ground, just in time to film the things in the room.

On three or four long clothes racks hung countless small animal skins—cats, dogs, snakes, all cruelly skinned. The first few skins were even still dripping blood.

【You animal!!!】
