Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

Chapter 44: Have You Ever Considered Whether You’re Tainted by Something Unclean?


Lu Heng was silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Have you ever wondered if you've come into contact with something unclean, my friend?"

"Well..."

Feng Lingling hesitated slightly, then shook his head, "To be honest, Immortal, I indeed have had that thought."

"But when I think about it, it's the 21st century now, how could there possibly be any ghosts?"

"If there truly were, they would've been captured by all the omnipresent surveillance cameras by now."

Lu Heng laughed, "What I mean by 'unclean' doesn't necessarily refer to ghosts!"

Their conversation made the livestream audience's eyes light up with excitement.

"Whoa, could it be that there are really ghosts in this world?"

"How is that possible? Just like Feng Lingling said, if there were, they would've been caught by all those surveillance cameras by now."

"You don't believe in ghosts and spirits, yet you believe in the Immortal's fortune-telling?"

"Exactly, the recent appearance of Shangqing Tao Immortal's divine signs also proves that this world isn't actually so simple."

"Didn't the Immortal just say? Unclean things aren't necessarily ghosts!"

"Looks like the apartment Feng Lingling recently rented does have some issues."

"Right, his landlord even said the insulation is bad. Damn, it's summer, who needs insulation?"

"Perhaps this apartment was the site of a murder and dismemberment, leaving behind the victim's lingering resentment, which is causing Feng Lingling such bad luck."

"Stop it, I'm starting to get scared!"

"Mama... Mama, I'm scared of ghosts!"

After hearing Lu Heng's words, Feng Lingling was slightly taken aback.

Then, full of confusion, he asked, "Immortal, do you mean..."

Lu Heng smiled gently and said slowly, "Could I trouble you, my friend, to take us back to your rental apartment?"

"Only by observing the scene can I arrive at a more definite answer."

"Alright!"

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Lingling eventually nodded.

To be honest, he really didn't want to return to that eerie apartment.

But he's also very curious about what kind of unclean thing is making him so unlucky.

The rental apartment was not far from the hospital, and Feng Lingling, using his crutch, arrived at the apartment door in less than ten minutes.

"Whew..."

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and slowly reached out to push the door.

"Creak..."

With a teeth-grinding noise, the door slowly opened.

Looking from the outside in, the room was dark.

Even though the lights were on, the place still felt eerie and creepy.

At the same time, the viewers watching the livestream couldn't help but feel an undescribable sense of oppression.

"Is this really not a haunted house at an amusement park?"

"Hehe, even if it were a haunted house, it wouldn't be as oppressive as this, right?"

"Yeah, just looking inside makes my heart race."

"So thrilling! Livestream ghost hunting!"

"This apartment is perfect for shooting a ghost movie, the atmosphere is just right!"

"Shangqing Tao, bless us! If you have any grudges, Ghost, please find someone else in the chatroom, just don't come after me!"

"Damn, are you even human?"

"Tonight that female ghost will crawl into your bed!"

"Is there really such a good thing?"

"As long as you're brave, the female ghost takes maternity leave!"

"Single dogs are indeed terrifying..."

As the viewers were joking around, Lu Heng spoke up, "My friend, could you do me a favor and walk around the room so that I can see the layout?"

"Sure,"

Feng Lingling nodded and began to wander around the room as per Lu Heng's request.

"Stop!"

Just as Feng Lingling reached the kitchen, Lu Heng suddenly shouted.

"Immortal, is there a situation here?"

Feng Lingling was startled and instinctively took two or three steps back.

"Go into the kitchen and let me have a closer look!"

Lu Heng instructed.

"Alright,"

Feng Lingling cautiously stepped into the kitchen, using his phone camera to capture every detail inside.

"My friend, don't you feel anything special around here?"

Lu Heng suddenly asked again.

"Something special?"

"Immortal, there's nothing special around here, is there?"

Feng Lingling looked puzzled, checking left and right, making two more rounds, yet still found nothing.

"If you're still confused, why not open a cabinet and take a look?"

Lu Heng smiled gently.

"A cabinet?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Lingling frowned and randomly opened a cabinet.

The cabinets in the kitchen mostly stored plates and bowls.

He opened it and looked carefully, but didn't find anything unusual.

The viewers also frowned in thought, trying to ponder the meaning of Lu Heng's words.

"What does the Immortal mean? Why don't I get it at all?"

"The cabinet seems pretty normal; what's special about it?"

"If the Immortal says there's something, then there definitely is, hurry and think!"

"Hmm? I find there's something wrong with the depth of this cabinet!"

"Depth? What depth?"

"Whoa, indeed! Look, the outside width of that side cabinet is at least fifty centimeters, but the inside? It's less than thirty centimeters!"

"You folks have sharp eyes, now that you've said it, I see it too!"

"Clearly, there's something wrong with this cabinet!"

"A reduction of nearly twenty centimeters, a normal cabinet wouldn't show this discrepancy, right?"

"There must be some undisclosable secret hidden behind this cabinet!"

"Feng Lingling, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and dismantle the cabinet!"

Feng Lingling glanced at the message barrage and noticed what everyone was talking about.

He quickly made a comparison, and it was just as the viewers said; the inside and outside widths of this particular cabinet were significantly different.

"Immortal, is the problem really inside this cabinet?"

Feng Lingling hurriedly asked.

"Correct!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly and continued, "My friend, if you have tools on hand, you might try taking apart a layer to see."

"Immortal bless me! Immortal bless me! Immortal bless me!"

Feng Lingling clasped his hands and murmured for a while, finally gathering enough courage.

He found a screwdriver and began trying to pry open the plank inside the cabinet.

"You're off target, move a bit to the left!"

Lu Heng directed.

"Okay!"

Feng Lingling quickly moved a little to the left.

Seeing Lu Heng no longer speaking, he began to exert force.

"Put some elbow grease in it, I'm getting anxious just watching!"

"Wow, dude, didn't you eat enough? Use some strength!"

"Old Tie, with that kind of strength, how are you going to satisfy your boyfriend in the future?"

"Hurry, my dinner's getting cold."

"Let's give Feng Lingling some slack, he's not fully healed yet, everyone, let's be understanding."

"Let's give Feng Lingling a bit more time; after all, we don't have anything to do tonight."

"I'm munching on chips while watching the cabinet get dismantled, feeling great!"

With the audience's urging, Feng Lingling finally pried open a plank.

After poking his head inside for a look, he immediately exclaimed, "Whoa!"

Suddenly, he leapt out of the kitchen like he'd encountered a cockroach on his face...
