“Brat, are you so bored that you deliberately came here to make fun of me?”
The fat stall owner’s face was filled with displeasure.
It was no wonder Chen Yu was bargaining in reverse.
After all the fuss, it turned out that he was played for a fool.
Giving away antiques for free? Nah.
He got to pay his ‘buyer’ a million yuan to ‘sell’ it to him.
Was this something a normal person would do?
“I can help you get rid of your suffering,” Chen Yu replied calmly. “If you believe me, then do as I say.”
“If you don’t believe me, then you’re on your own.”
After saying this, Chen Yu took a step forward and prepared to leave.
“Wait a moment.”
The fat stall owner felt Chen Yu’s words had a hidden meaning.
What did he mean by helping him get rid of his suffering?
“Speak clearly. What are you here for?”
“1 came here to save you from your sea of bitterness,” Chen Yu said as he turned his head.
Hearing this, the fat stall owner sized up Chen Yu once again.
Chen Yu was wearing ordinary clothes.
He didn’t look like he had anything valuable on him, so he shouldn’t be the kind of wealthy kid who was so bored that he had to make fun of others deliberately.
The expression on Chen Yu’s face was profound, and he did not look like a retard.
After thinking about it, the fat stall owner was unsure what this person in front of him was up to.
The fat stall owner called Chen Yu back while carefully considering his words.
“You’re in deep danger and don’t even know it.”
“Other than me, no one can solve your problem.”
Chen Yu added unhurriedly.
“Think about it, the strange things happening around you recently.”
“Who… Who exactly are you?!”
The fat stall owner seemed to have changed into a different person altogether the moment he heard ‘strange things’.
The suspicion on his face disappeared without a trace.
What replaced it was deep, deep fear. contemporary romance
The fat stall owner’s life had been unusually unlucky in the past few months.
He was unlucky but somehow obtained this rare pearl without spending a single cent.
The fat stall owner thought his ancestors were blessing him with a windfall of fortune.
He never expected all sorts of strange and bizarre things would befall him one after another.
Looking at Chen Yu’s profound appearance, the fat stall owner’s heart jolted.
“Young man, no, no, no. Sir, may 1 know your name?”
The fat stall owner took out a cigarette and handed it over with a smile.
“My name is Chen Yu.”
Chen Yu rejected the cigarette.
“I’m asking you one last time. Do you want to pass me the pearl?”
“Mr. Chen, can we talk somewhere else?”
“Alright.”
The fat stall owner asked another stall owner he knew to help him look after his stall before leading Chen Yu to the end of the street.
After confirming that no one was nearby, the fat stall owner lowered his voice and asked, “Mr. Chen, can you tell me who you are?”
“Are you a mage, a warlock, or a fortune-teller?”
“We’re not relatives, so why are you here to point out a way for me?”
“I’m a psychologist.”
Chen Yu introduced himself.
“You look strange, and I feel like you have some kind of mental illness.”
“Out of my professional ethics, I am here to give you therapy.”
Chen Yu’s acting skills were on full display, stunning the fat stall owner.
The fat stall owner believed that Chen Yu was someone from the mystic arts, yet Chen Yu claimed that he was nothing but a psychologist.
Since when did psychologists research superstitious stuff?
The fat stall owner opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
“Through scientific psychological observation, your mental illness is inextricably linked to this black pearl on your neck.”
“You can’t tell?”
The fat stall owner automatically ignored Chen Yu’s first part of the sentence.
He became uneasy again when he heard that his problems were related to the black pearl.
“I’ll cure your mental illness, and you’ll pay me a million yuan for your treatment.”
“Also, I will take this pearl away. Do you have any more questions?”
Chen Yu asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
“There’s no problem with the money, but…”
The fat stall owner opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong.
“Mr. Chen, don’t tease me.”
“There are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, are you a mage or not?”
“Don’t worry, 1 definitely won’t report you to any authorities.”
“You’re the one who should tell the truth, not me,” Chen Yu replied firmly.
“Besides, what I said was the truth.”
Chen Yu looked at the black pearl in the fat stall owner’s hand.
“As a doctor, let me give you some advice.”
“Hiding your illness will only make your condition worse. Only by telling the truth can you get rid of the illness.”
At this moment, the fat stall owner was 100% sure Chen Yu wasn’t a psychologist.
How could a psychologist tell that his problem was related to a pearl?
Chen Yu was probably afraid of the authorities’ recent crackdown on feudal superstition, so he deliberately found an excuse for his mystic arts.
What a lousy excuse, too, the fat stall owner retorted silently.
If it weren’t for settling his karma, Chen Yu wouldn’t have bothered coming here in the middle of the night.
Wouldn’t it be better to play his mobile games in bed instead?
“Why? You still don’t want to talk?”
“I’ll talk!”
When the fat stall owner finally encountered someone with a mysterious identity who could pinpoint the crux of his problems, he didn’t care whether Chen Yu was a mage or a psychologist.
It was better to talk about his strange encounters.
A few months ago, the fat stall owner went to the countryside to collect antiques worth tens of thousands.
A profiteer like him would usually lie to buy antiques at a low price.
If he met a farmer who knew nothing, he would lower his price as much as possible.
If he met someone who knew something, all kinds of nonsense and excuses would fly out of his mouth.
This time, he received half a broken piece of porcelain from a villager.
Judging from the texture and shape, it looked like Tri-colored glazed pottery from the Tang Dynasty.
Unlike the various types of glazed pottery on the modern market, the Tri-colored glazed pottery from the Tang Dynasty only had one function in ancient times.
It was a burial item.
The fat stall owner sensed that the thing must have come out of a tomb.
Relying on his years of observation, he discovered that the item had recently been dug up from a tomb.
The villager found it near a bottomless hole near his farm.
Out of curiosity, he called a few of his companions to go down together, and they found an ancient tomb.
The tomb was mostly empty except for a coffin without a lid in the middle.
A dried corpse lay inside.
The surrounding walls seemed to be painted with murals.
The few farmers who went down were worried that this place was haunted and did not dare to stay long.
One of them picked up some jars, and they all climbed up.
Upon hearing the news, the fat stall owner, obsessed with money, immediately went in after asking for the location.
He had found this black pearl in the mouth of the corpse.
He guessed it must be a black pearl buried to guide the dead in the underworld.
Strange things began to appear continuously after he obtained this black pearl.
First, his house caught on fire for no reason.
His wife and child were later injured in all kinds of unimaginable incidents.
What shocked the fat stall owner even more was what followed.
One day, he came out to set up his stall and suddenly fainted.
When he woke up, he was lying in the hospital.
The doctor said that there was a tumor in his body that was developing in a vicious direction.
“You dare take something from a dead person’s mouth? You’re really bold.”
Chen Yu sneered inwardly.
Profiteers were all the same.
They were willing to give up their lives for the sake of money.
This fat stall owner thought it was a luminous black pearl, but little did he know that this thing almost took his life.
It was not a regular, luminous black pearl.
It was a Fiend Suppressing Pearl..
