Chapter 1067: Looked Down Upon by Others

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It wasn't mealtime yet, so there weren't a lot of people in the restaurant.

But the decor was especially beautiful and looked like a restaurant in Myeongdong. One would be faced with a poster of G-Dragon once you walked through the doors.

The place had strong heavy metal influences and they were playing a BIGBANG song.

As soon as Helian Weiwei walked in, her gaze fell on the table right on the inside.

Only that table had four people seated there.

It was obvious that they were postgrad students. Three of them had spectacles on, and the two ladies and two men were all dressed very casually.

Helian Weiwei strolled towards them.

The atmosphere between the four of them was very solemn. They didn't order anything to eat and just had one cold drink each. There was an ashtray in the middle, but all of them bowed their heads and she couldn't tell what any of them was thinking.

One of them noticed that Helian Weiwei walking towards them, so she tugged at the person next to her, "Jingtian, someone's here! Is that the Taobao seller you contacted?"

The one called Jingtian looked up and the rest looked up too.

"Hello, I'm Helian Weiwei, from the Yin Yang Shop." Helian Weiwei went straight to the point. "Can you tell us exactly what happened that day? It's best if you can be more detailed."

The four of them didn't speak, because they never thought that the great master they were looking forward to in their hearts would actually be a high school student.

Moreover, she was such a beautiful high school student.

The youth behind her was even more indescribable and he looked like he was no older than a third year middle schooler. But his looks were handsome enough to make girls squeal as well as a head of silvery short hair, and those clothes of his...

A black tuxedo?

A well fitted pair of gloves that had no wrinkles on them?

Just what era was this outfit from?

Helian Weiwei saw that the four of them were still sizing her and Baili Jiajue up, but she didn't them. After all, from a psychological point of view, most people wouldn't believe that such young people could possibly be experts in this area.

These thoughts seemed to be written on their faces, and the four of them looked at one another for quite a while.

In the end, Xiao Jingtian, the one who contacted Helian Weiwei, broke the silence first. "Excuse me, are there only two of you working for the shop? Where's your boss?"

"I am the boss." Helian Weiwei smiled faintly. "You can tell me anything."

Xiao Jingtian was still hesitating. She glanced at the three companions beside her.

No one said anything, and she wasn't sure how to continue.

She had originally found this Taobao shop on the internet, and many people said that this shop's services were very effective.

She also went to look at the shop's good ratings, and even though there weren't many people who left reviews and there were only reviews every two days or so, every review was written very realistically and didn't seem like fake reviews.

What they were worried about the most was to run into a exorcist who didn't know how to do anything at all.

It was said that this line of business was very profitable. Nine out of ten fengshui masters were fake, and the remaining one might not be famous.

After all, in this era, everything was overly hyped up.

She also asked her family members to look for Master Xiu Yun, who had been on TV a lot recently.

When he heard that someone had died, he didn't even dare to answer the call. He only said that he was too busy recently and needed to time to cultivate.

Xiao Jingtian didn't believe him at all.

In the past, he always appeared as long as he was paid well.

He always used some ghost shell divination to fool people.

This time, he didn't come because he was definitely too scared. magic

But it was precisely because of these previous experiences, Xiao Jingtian found it more and more difficult to trust anybody easily.

Helian Weiwei could also see what she was worried about. "Since you guys found me, you should have seen the rules in my shop. If the matter isn't resolved, I won't charge you a single cent. So there won't be any cheating involved."

When Xiao Jingtian heard her say this, she also felt that she had been a little rude. "Store Owner, that's not what we meant. It's just that this matter is really serious, so we're really scared and we don't know what to do at all. Also, to be honest with you, we're surprised by your age."

"Age does not affect professionalism." Helian Weiwei's lips curled upwards. "There is no Yin Qi here, so I really can't prove it. However, I can give you a simple divination. From just your face, I can see that you have very good fortune. You have the life of great wealth and nobility. Since you are still a graduate student and do not have a job, it means that your family has its own business."

Xiao Jingtian's eyes trembled, as if she couldn't believe that the other party could actually guess what her family was doing just by seeing her for the first time.

After all, among these classmates, only one knew about her family's background, because her usual clothes weren't very eye-catching and she always looked very ordinary.

The woman in pink sitting next to Xiao Jingtian was also shocked by Helian Weiwei's deduction. "Jingtian, could it be that when the two of you were chatting earlier, you revealed some information to her? Like maybe you said that the price doesn't matter to you?"

"No, I didn't." Xiao Jingtian was sure that she hadn't said anything.

The remaining two boys stared at Xiao Jingtian with wide eyes. "Your family owns some really large business?"

Xiao Jingtian originally didn't want too many people to know about her family when she was in graduate school. After all, her father's business was too famous locally, and sometimes it was really a very troublesome thing.

But now that things had come to this, there was no need for her to hide.

"My father is Xiao Haidong."

This CEO often popped up in the news from time to time.

The two boys at the table were obviously shocked by this sudden news. They looked at Xiao Jingtian in shock because they didn't think that the Xiao Jingtian they thought came from a small city would actually have such an identity.

Helian Weiwei didn't seem to be surprised at all. She looked at these four people with a smile.

Xiao Jingtian still didn't understand. "How did you know?" There must be something that she didn't notice, because she never believed in fortune telling.

"You're wearing nearsighted glasses." Helian Weiwei's voice was very flat. "They're not cheap. The average student's nearsighted glasses are between $600 and $800. Yours are around $3000. As for the necklace you wear around your neck, although it's not gold, it's not cheap either. It's Dior's latest model, so it should cost a few thousand. I see that you have a dignified character, and you don't seem to be the sort that's going down the wrong path in life. You also know how to talk to people to make them accept you. These are all related to your upbringing. I suppose your family often takes you out to eat with your elders. These types of people are usually in business, so I guessed that your family owns their own business. After all, people from a small town wouldn't be so generous with money. On top of all this, you're very low-key and you hide your wealth, which means you don't want others to notice anything about your family background. The more intentionally you hide your background, the larger the business your family must be doing."

Xiao Jingtian listened to Helian Weiwei's analysis and the admiration in her heart was almost off the charts. She was even more professional than the police!

Chapter 1068: Cause and Effect

"Can you tell me exactly what happened? How did this person die?" Helian Weiwei sat down and the smile on her face never went away, so it made everyone feel comfortable around her.

The four of them looked at one another before one of the boys finally started speaking hesitantly, "That was an accident and we didn't expect it at all. On Wednesday afternoon, we didn't have lab work to do, so the few of us agreed to go for one of those escape room games. We chose one that had a horror theme, and I think it was called Sobbing House?"

"Sobbing House?" Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. What sort of name was this?

The boy swallowed and continued, "That's right, Sobbing House, like crying, you know? We wanted to play something that others didn't dare to, since we're all science students and we're not very scared of these things. But that escape room turned out to be way more terrifying than we imagined. When we went in, we wore an eye mask, and each person would hold onto the shoulder of the person in front of him."

"There are five of you, so when you went in, you formed a straight line, right?" Helian Weiwei immediately cut in. "Nothing happened during that time, right?"magic

Xiao Jingtian looked at her in shock. "How did you guess that?"

"I didn't need to guess," Helian Weiwei laughed lightly. "This method of walking is called the Pure Yang Formation, so it's a formation that wards off evil spirits in the first place. If you walk in this formation with an eye mask on, you wouldn't look in all directions, so you would form a proper formation. This sort of formation would be able to protect you to a certain extent."

The four of them didn't even know such a thing existed.

Helian Weiwei took out her phone and waved it. "Continue."

"After we removed our eye masks, we walked into a very ordinary looking room. The room was very small and we needed to solve clues in order to unlock three locks." The boy quietly said, "There was no problem when we first entered the room, but after we unlocked the third lock, a closet popped up, and that closet could only take one person at most."

"A sliding door closet?" It was obvious that Helian Weiwei had played such things before and quickly guessed what was going on. "So you had to go in one by one to look for clues?"

The boy nodded and continued speaking with some difficulty, "I was the first one to enter the closet, and the other side was really terrifying. I was so frightened, you know? The closet led to another room, but all I had was one torchlight, and the first thing my torchlight landed on was a woman in white hanging from the ceiling, which was the scariest part of all. I told them to hurry over and I could feel all my hair stand on end because it was simply too terrifying. After everyone came over, we didn't want to spend too much time in that tiny place, so we quickly took a picture of the clues and wanted to get out. Honestly, I was really scared and didn't want to be the last one to go out, but we couldn't put the girls at the back either, so when Chen Yang noticed this, he said he would be the last one and told us to go out first. Once we got out and reached the main area, we just needed to pull the closet door open for him to come out, but...that was when something happened."

At this point, the boy clutched his face and his body started to tremble. "After we walked out, we wanted to pull the door open for him to come out, to find that the closet door was stuck for some reason and refused to budge. At this moment, we could hear the sound of a woman crying and it came in waves. We could also hear Chen Yang's voice and he sounded like he was convulsing. We were all terrified and tried out best to pull at the closet door, but no matter how hard we tried, it refused to budge. We all started calling Chen Yang's name and hit the closet, but nothing worked. I frantically pressed the walkie talkie button to call the escape room boss over, and he cut the electricity to the room after entering the room, and we were able to pull the closet door open. But then...then...we found Chen Yang already...already lying there."

Helian Weiwei went quiet for a moment and placed her phone on the table. "Where did the woman's crying come from? Did the room already have sound effects, or did all of you really hear sounds that nobody else could?"

"We're not sure either." All four of them exchanged glances before giving Helian Weiwei an unsure answer.

Helian Weiwei stood up. "Then we have to go play again and understand the rules."

"Now? Go play again?" One of the girls' eyes opened wide. She was the only one among them who didn't wear spectacles, and her eyes seemed to bulge out from her fear. "No, no way!"

Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows. "Why?"

"Someone died there, so would they allow people in to play again?" the girl stammered. "The police already sealed off that place earlier, so how could they possibly be in business again?"

Helian Weiwei looked down at her. "You just said it was sealed off earlier. This person you guys are talking about has passed away for a long time now, right?"

"How...how did you know?" Xiao Jingtian was more and more in awe of this high school aged store owner.

Helian Weiwei smiled. "In general, when a case of unnatural death happens and the police aren't able to find clues, even very close classmates wouldn't have thought of looking for a fengshui master to deal with this. All of you are just fellow graduate students and you spend a lot of time together, but you guys aren't that close, right? Otherwise, why didn't some of you know about her family's situation? Since the five of you are just ordinary friends, then it means that right after this incident, none of you would have wanted to talk about it. The rest of you have to study and the police couldn't find any clues, so it was most likely classified as an accident. But of course, this matter traumatized all of you, so you would have had nightmares or gone to see a psychiatrist, which is all normal. But after all this was over, none of you would have wanted to talk about this matter, since humans always subconsciously choose to forget the most horrifying memories you have. None of you would want to talk about this ever again and it was best if it remained a secret. I believe both the school and other people must have asked all of you a lot of things about this matter, so once all these questions finally stopped, you wouldn't have wanted to let this matter disturb you anymore. After all, talking about this matter would mean that you would have to relive those nightmarish memories again. Since it's such a painful memory, why are you concerned about it? The answer is very simple. It's not because any of you want to do anything for the one who died, but because all of you are afraid of something unknown to yourselves."

The four of them were stunned.

Their expressions went through several changes and each one of them carried a different expression.

But that was a clear sign that Helian Weiwei's words had hit the nail on the head.

Xiao Jingtian wrung her hands and said a little indignantly, "Store Owner, aren't you going too far by putting it like that? You make it sound like we're all inhumane."
