At 3 pm.
The live broadcast room opened on time, and the audience waiting in front of the equipment in advance swarmed in, and the number of people in the live broadcast room continued to rise.
Host Liu held the microphone and said with a smile:
“Good afternoon, everyone. We are at the scene of a new help-seeker case.”
“Let’s not talk nonsense. Now let’s get closer to the help-seeker and see what kind of case we have this time.”
After Host Liu finished speaking, the screen of the live broadcast room flashed, and a short video that had been filmed in advance was inserted again.
After the recording started, a middle-aged woman in her fifties appeared in front of the live broadcast camera.
She was a little shy in front of the camera. She coughed several times and her breath was a little weak, and then she said:
‘I’m sorry, my health is not very good. This is my first time filming a program, so I may not be able to shoot it well.’
The staff member who was responsible for interviewing her said: ‘It doesn’t matter. What is your request to find our program team? Did you encounter any metaphysical and supernatural events?’
The woman looked bitter and said:
‘Some strange things happened around me. I was not the one who was entangled, but these strange things were caused by my family’s private affairs, but they harmed the people who helped my family.’
‘I really can’t live with my conscience, so I want to ask the program team for help to see if there is any solution.’
The screen freezes at the moment when the woman’s voice falls, and the background voice introduces:
“This is the person who is asking for help in this help-seeking game: Ms. Xu, she is 50 years old, a very introverted person, and not in good health.”
“A few days ago, she sent several letters to our program team one after another, each of which was several pages long. From them, we learned about the ups and downs of this lady and some strange things she encountered recently that could not be explained by science.”
“According to her, she asked a familiar neighbor for help because of something wrong at home, but she hurt the other party because of these strange things that kept happening.”
“To solve the strange things at home, she asked for help from the program team many times. For this reason, we and the contestants came to her hometown, hoping to help her.”
After the recording ended, the screen of the live broadcast room was cut back to the main camera.
From the two sides of the road shot by the camera, it can be seen that the place where this help-seeker lives should be a county-level city, with low-rise buildings and old buildings around, and was not very prosperous.
After arriving at a residential building, some elderly people sat on rattan chairs downstairs to enjoy the cool air. When they saw the crew carrying cameras, they asked:
“Who are you looking for?”
After Host Liu said the name of the help-seeker, several elderly people looked at each other and said: “It’s her!”
Host Liu: “Do you know Ms. Xu?”
“We are neighbors, of course, we know her. What are you looking for her for? She hurt the child of another family!”
[From the tone of these elderly people, it seems they know something.]
Host Liu just smiled and didn’t ask much. After finding the specific address, he knocked on the door of a house on the second floor.
After the door was opened from the inside, a thin woman appeared. She was surprised to see the people from the program team:
“Are you from the “Spiritual Affairs” program team? Welcome, I’m sorry that my house is a bit messy…”
Host Liu said: “It’s okay, Ms. Xu can say hello to the audience behind the camera. The program is already being recorded. If you are ready, we will officially start and let the contestants come to observe.”
Ms. Xu was a little nervous when she heard it was already being recorded.
She grabbed the corner of her clothes twice and nodded, then said: “No problem, please start.”
Soon the first contestant: Bai Ci came to the scene under the guidance of the program staff.
As soon as Bai Ci entered the room, Ms. Xu stood up and stretched out her hand: “Hello, Master Bai.”
After nodding slightly, Bai Ci let go of her hand and said:
“Your health is very poor. You have a serious problem with your lungs. I can see that the breath you breathe out is full of depression, which is a sign of a serious lesion.”
Ms. Xu had watched the show in advance and knew that Bai Ci was best at treating people. She was not too surprised and nodded:
“That’s true. I didn’t pay attention when I was young. Now I’m old, and my lung disease is serious.”
Bai Ci nodded: “Also when I took your pulse just now, I roughly felt that you have been very worried recently and couldn’t sleep all night. This is not good. It will put a very heavy burden on your body and make your already poor physical condition worse.”
“In addition…”
He frowned slightly and subconsciously shrugged his nose.
Realizing that this action was not something that humans could do, but more like the reaction of animals when sensing breath, he immediately held back.
Bai Ci coughed lightly and said: “You have a faint smell of death and sandalwood on you. It’s very messy and not all from the same person or the same kind of incense.”
“If my guess is correct, someone in your family has died recently, and you have been going back and forth between the cemetery and home to burn incense at the grave of your deceased relative. That’s why you have a lot of mixed smells of death and incense on your body.”
Because there were too many bodies buried in the cemetery, some were newly dead and some have been dead for many years.
Those bodies were buried underground, and more or less some residual corpse gas will overflow from the ground and float in the air of the cemetery.
In addition, many people went to the cemetery to worship, and people often went to burn incense for their deceased elders and relatives.
These chaotic corpse gas and incense gas are mixed, naturally making Ms. Xu, who often goes to the cemetery, have a lot of smells on her body.
Ordinary people can’t smell it, but Bai Ci, who has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, can smell it.
But it was not good to have too sensitive a sense of smell. Too many mixed smells will disturb his sensing ability and make him unable to distinguish more things.
Helplessly, Bai Ci could only say:
“The reason why you are upset and ask for help from the program team should be related to the deceased.”
Ms. Xu nodded and said: “Master Bai, you are right. My father died more than half a month ago. This house was his residence before he died. I don’t live here.”
Bai Ci said: “If it’s only in this room, these are the only things I can see. I am sorry that I can’t help you.”
Ms. Xu: “No, I am very grateful that you are willing to come.”
At this time, Host Liu who was waiting on the side said: “Our No. 2 contestant Bai Ci saw Ms. Xu’s physical problems and her increasingly serious mental state, and all of this seems to be related to her deceased father.”
“What is the hidden secret of Mr. Xu’s death that makes Ms. Xu unable to let go, so that she needs to ask for help from our program team? Next, let’s invite the second contestant: Xi Haihong!”
As soon as Xi Haihong came to this room and saw Ms. Xu for the first time, she stopped and squinted slightly.
She suddenly made a hand gesture, stared at Ms. Xu’s direction with a solemn expression – to be precise, at Ms. Xu’s shoulder, and her voice suddenly rose:
“Why don’t you get out?!”
Almost immediately after her words burst out, Ms. Xu felt her shoulders and neck, which had been aching for a long time, lighten, as if something had dispersed.
She was very surprised and a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Xi Haihong say:
“Your relative has passed away recently.”
“He was unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate, and he stayed in the human world!”
