The girl’s face instantly changed as she realized something. She stood frozen in place. “Yes.”
Lu Miao paused for a moment. “Where did you buy the wig?
“At… at a store recommended by a friend. The store owner makes handmade wigs, and they look incredibly realistic. They are a bit expensive, but when I wear it, no one can tell it’s a wig. I saved up for a long time to buy one,” the girl replied with a trembling voice.
Lu Miao looked at the bloody ghost clinging to the girl’s head through the camera and sighed. “After you put on the wig, didn’t you smell anything strange?”
The girl thought for a moment. “There… there was a unique fragrance.” Lu Miao pressed her lips together. “Have you tried taking it off?”
“N… no, after I bought it, I wore it to work the next day, and everyone said I looked better with long hair. So… I never took it off again. I even wore it while sleeping at night.”
“Why did Young Miss ask if she smelled anything strange?” someone in the chat wondered.
“I heard that some wigs, to make them more realistic, are made by directly removing the scalp along with the hair from real people,” another comment read.
“That’s too scary. Nowadays, wigs should be synthetic, right?” someone else chimed in.
“Think carefully, why did Young Miss ask if she smelled anything strange?” another message pondered.
“Going off-topic here, isn’t it uncomfortable to go a week without washing your hair? That’s quite a sacrifice for beauty,” someone joked.
The girl, frightened by the barrage of comments on the screen, hurriedly raised her hand to remove the wig from her head. But no matter how hard she pulled, it seemed as if the wig had grown onto her head. She couldn’t take it off no matter what.
She screamed in terror, crying out, “Master… help me! What should I do?”
“I will draw a talisman first and send it to you privately. Then you need to prepare a black bag. Stand in front of a mirror, align the talisman on your phone with the reflection of the wig in the mirror, and immediately remove the wig and put it in the black bag. Then take the wig to the police station and report it. The owner of this hair met an unfortunate fate, and the only way to resolve the grudge is to find the culprit,” Lu Miao explained.
As she spoke, she took her phone, opened the notepad, and quickly drew a symbol on a blank page. She screenshot it and sent it to the girl via private message.
“The effectiveness of drawing a talisman on the phone is not as good. It can only be used once, so you must align it correctly. Otherwise, if you alert the ghost, even drawing another talisman won’t help,” Lu Miao cautioned.
After receiving the talisman in a private message, the girl immediately ended the video call and went to her room to find a black bag. Then she took her phone to the bathroom.
Summoning her courage, she looked up at her unfamiliar reflection in the mirror.
Since inexplicably changing her face, she had been too afraid to look in the mirror. None of her friends recognized her anymore, and even the security guard wouldn’t let her into the building. She couldn’t leave her room and was confined to isolation.
Gritting her teeth, she took a deep breath and aimed her phone’s screen, with the talisman displayed, at the wig in the mirror.
Suddenly, a chilling scream echoed in her mind, and at the same time, she felt a lightness on her head.
She quickly reached up and pulled off the wig, struggling to stuff it into the black bag she had prepared in advance. She tightly sealed the bag with a string.
Then, trembling, she picked up the bag and rushed out of the door, heading straight to the nearest police station.
In the live stream chat:
“Don’t end the video call, let us see what happens to the girl while she’s dealing with the ghost!”
“I’m so worried. What happened to the girl? Did she manage to remove the wig? Did her face return to normal?”
“Young Miss, could the wig actually have been peeled off along with the scalp?” Expressions of shock filled the chat.
Lu Miao calmly responded, “Our bodies are a gift from our parents, so it’s best to embrace our true selves. If you really like something, you should buy it from reputable sources.”
Indeed, the wig had been attached to the scalp. A forensic expert would be able to confirm it.
The reason the girl could smell the peculiar fragrance was likely because the store owner used a special treatment to prevent the scalp from decomposing and emitting an odor.
Moreover, there was a high probability that the store owner had committed such crimes before.
“Young Miss, do you sell lucky charms? I’m a bit timid and would like to buy one that I can carry with me.”
‘Yes, count me in too.”
In the midst of the flurry of gift effects on the screen, a line of people expressed their desire to purchase lucky charms.
It seemed that no matter where you were, lucky charms were always in high demand.
Lu Miao replied, “Yes, let me figure out how to set up a delivery service, so everyone can place orders independently. ”
Afterwards, she randomly selected two more people, one for a marriage reading and the other for a career reading.
Once both readings were done, Lu Miao bid everyone farewell and ended the livestream,
She opened the backstage interface and checked today’s earnings.
With all the gifts and orders, after deducting the platform’s share, she had made around fifty to sixty thousand.
And this was only the second day of streaming.
While it might not be a significant amount for her, it was higher than many people’s monthly salaries.
No wonder so many people were eager to jump into livestreaming and promote products.
A notification sound from WeChat caught Lu Miao’s attention, and she opened the app.
It was Gu Shiyan, sending a message about a banquet happening tomorrow. It would be attended by professors from Qingbei University and experts from various fields. He asked if she wanted to join.
Lu Miao replied directly, “No, thank you.”
Tomorrow was Saturday, and she had already promised Shen Muhan to attend his grandfather’s birthday banquet.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Shiyan smiled and shook his head at the straightforward refusal.
The next morning, after having breakfast, Lu Miao received an excited call from Shen Muhan informing her that the car had arrived at Lingyue Manor’s entrance.
Lu Miao informed Auntie Xiu, the housekeeper, and then left the house directly.
As the car entered the gate of the residential area where Shen Muhan’s family lived, Lu Miao couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Wasn’t this the same residential area where she had recently bought a villa?
What made her even more speechless was that Shen Muhan’s house was adjacent to the villa she had purchased.
Fortunately, the residential area was large, and the distance between each villa was considerable.
Under normal circumstances, they would rarely cross paths.
When she got out of the car, Shen Muhan was already waiting at the entrance.
Apart from slightly slower movements, he could walk and move around normally.
Seeing Lu Miao, he immediately greeted her with a beaming smile. “Boss.” With enthusiasm, he led her inside while whispering to her.
“MV grandfather is a professor at Qingbei University He has been a teacher for
several decades and is accustomed to being authoritative at school, so he might appear a bit stern. But don’t be afraid when you meet him later.”
A professor from Qingbei University?
A thought sparked in Lu Miao’s mind. Why did it sound somewhat familiar? Before she could speak, she looked up and saw a familiar face..
