"But... she still remembers us!"

This was the one thing that baffled the participant the most. Even if she had undergone plastic surgery, it wouldn't look so natural.

Besides, their family wasn't wealthy—why would anyone spend a fortune to transform into his sister? What could they possibly gain?

Unable to explain it logically, every time his parents countered him, he had no response and could only back down reluctantly.

Seeing his confusion, Yaoyao's voice chimed in at just the right moment.

"Of course she remembers you all—because she's been hiding inside your sister's body, learning how your family interacts!"

The moment these words left her mouth, the participant's expression froze.

He asked incredulously, "Master, what do you mean by 'hiding inside my sister's body'?"

His reaction immediately sent the comment section into a frenzy.

[You fool, isn't it obvious? It must be some evil spirit possessing her!]

[This is straight-up supernatural content! I knew this live stream solving others' problems would always be thrilling.]

The participant naturally noticed these comments, and only then did it dawn on him. He was completely shocked.

At most, he had suspected that someone else might have taken his sister's place through plastic surgery—never once had he considered the possibility of a ghost.

But as he recalled the style of this master's live stream—and even her outright acknowledgment of ghosts' existence—he couldn't help but feel chills run down his spine.

"Master... does this mean my sister has really attracted something like that?"

The thought of a ghost occupying his sister's body, mimicking her habits, and living with their family made him shudder with fear.

Then, anger surged within him.

If the ghost was using his sister's body now, where was the real sister?

Had it killed her?

The participant clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He looked pleadingly at the master before him because deep down, he knew he was powerless against such an entity.

As for why he accepted this explanation so quickly—it was because, although absurd, it explained everything he had previously found incomprehensible.

Sometimes, after eliminating all impossibilities, the strangest explanation turns out to be the truth.

"Mm, they're correct—your sister has indeed encountered something sinister. However, her lifeline hasn't been severed yet, which means nothing irreversible has happened."

"The fact that you sense something off might indicate she's trying to signal for help while controlling her body."

Yaoyao, noticing the participant's growing anxiety, spoke up to calm his emotions before he did anything rash.

Her words had an immediate effect. Upon hearing that his sister was still alive, the tension visibly drained from the participant's face.

Yaoyao continued, "Little bro, you need to contact your sister now. Use any means necessary, but lure her over here once more."

Though she had reassured him earlier that his sister was still among the living, her situation was clearly dire.

When Yaoyao examined the two photos earlier, she almost missed the anomaly at first glance.

It wasn't until she activated her mystic eye technique that she noticed the stark differences in their fate palaces.

In the wedding photo, the marital palace gleamed brightly, indicating a successful union with her destined partner. Additionally, the career palace revealed the presence of Wenqu, suggesting that the participant's sister had excelled academically since childhood and recently received a promotion at work.

However, the second photo told a different story. The marital palace appeared chaotic, signaling multiple failed marriages. Her career palace had dimmed entirely, reflecting a life cut short from education and thrust prematurely into society.

One person, two fates—this was impossible under normal circumstances.

While future opportunities or misfortunes could alter one's destiny, past experiences were immutable.

The only explanation for this phenomenon was possession—a ghost occupying a human body.

Furthermore, the ghost was already influencing the original host's fate palace. This meant that the intruder wouldn't take long to fully replace its host.

Once that happened, the participant's true sister would become a wandering spirit without a physical form. Since she hadn't died naturally, the records in the underworld's Book of Life and Death wouldn't change.

She wouldn't even qualify for reincarnation.

Meanwhile, the ghost would live on in her place, assuming her identity, inheriting her fate—including her eligibility for reincarnation after death.

A ghost stealing a human's lifespan was practically indistinguishable from a malevolent spirit. Yaoyao could directly intervene and destroy it.

However, the ghost needed to appear within camera range. Given that it was likely in the critical stages of possession, it would be extremely cautious and not easily swayed by the participant. Forcing the participant to visit in person was the least favorable option.

After all, the ghost had resided in the house for quite some time. There was no telling what precautions it might have set. If the participant tried and failed, he might end up endangering himself further.

"Alright, I'll call her right away."

Realizing that things weren't as optimistic as he initially thought, the participant turned to leave.

At this moment, Yaoyao interjected with a reminder.

"If possible, bring your brother-in-law along too."

"What does this have to do with my brother-in-law?"

The participant's eyes clouded with confusion. Hadn't the master just said that the brother-in-law was his sister's destined partner?

Suddenly linking him to this possession seemed ominous. All sorts of conspiracy theories raced through his mind.

Seeing him misunderstand, Yaoyao clarified, "The reason I mentioned him is because he's the catalyst through which the ghost approached your sister—not that he's complicit!"

[This kid must spend a lot of time online.]

[But it's understandable. When faced with such distressing matters, who wouldn't overthink? In today's world, where appearances can be deceiving, being cautious is never a bad thing.]

The live stream audience began discussing animatedly.

Realizing he had overthought things, the participant flushed slightly in embarrassment.

Making up an excuse, he picked up his backup phone and stepped aside to make the call. His retreating figure exuded an unspoken sense of urgency.

Yaoyao didn't remain idle either. She retrieved several yellow talismans from her bag and neatly arranged them on the table.

This was the first time she'd brought such items out during a live stream, instantly capturing the audience's attention.

[Even though I can't decipher the symbols, they give off an incredibly smooth vibe.]

[Once the participant brings his sister here, will the master act within the live stream?]

Since whatever they were dealing with required face-to-face confrontation, there was no way for the master to avoid exposing herself.

The audience had long been curious about her ghost-busting methods, repeatedly asking her to demonstrate them—only to be refused each time.

Humans are naturally contrarian. The more elusive something is, the more determined they become to uncover it. Now, with their dream seemingly about to come true, the live stream buzzed with excitement akin to a festive celebration.

"Yaoyao, are you really not planning to shield yourself from everyone this time?"

Even Gu Yu couldn't resist asking. It wasn't that he feared account suspension—after all, being banned would give him a valid excuse to skip work.

He was worried about police intervention. But upon reflection, even if they came knocking, there was nothing to fear!

Not only was Third Brother part of the police force, but Yaoyao had also helped Liu Dong numerous times. Surely, he would report her deeds to higher-ups?

Although the Special Operations Unit operated discreetly, that didn't mean they weren't recognized as a national organization. To put it bluntly, whether in legal or underground circles, Yaoyao had connections everywhere. With that in mind, there was no reason to cower.

"Mm-hmm, this time I won't hide!" Yaoyao nodded earnestly.

Her reasoning wasn't solely due to expediency in eradicating the possessing spirit. Beyond that, she wanted ordinary people to know that practitioners of the occult possessed extraordinary abilities.

She had a premonition that the hidden Human Sovereign wouldn't remain dormant for much longer.

Aside from this individual, it remained uncertain whether other Human Sovereigns existed in the current era.

When someone wielded unparalleled power, they rarely remained content. Especially someone like this particular practitioner, notorious for using living humans in alchemical experiments.

If ordinary people remained ignorant of the occult world when that person made their move, countless unsuspecting lives would surely perish.

By planting seeds of awareness now, at least they'd stand a chance to prepare. Moreover, she trusted that after eliminating the Sixth-Rank Mystic, Liu Dong's highest-ranking superior would keep a close watch on her activities.

They might not grasp her intentions, but they'd undoubtedly step in to cover for her actions.

Thus, with no risk of account suspension, Yaoyao felt emboldened to proceed.

By the time she finished arranging the talismans, the participant returned from his call.

His face bore a smile, and he spoke excitedly, "She agreed to come over! She'll be here in ten minutes."

Such an easy success? Even Yaoyao was somewhat surprised.

However, she refrained from prying further. After all, this was the participant's private matter. Her sole task was to eliminate that malevolent ghost!
