Sinisterium Pawnshop: Exclusive to Malevolent Objects

　　At Lulu's words, Lu Fei and Hu Zi looked at each other in shock.

　　"Isn't Bingbing your good friend?"

　　"Maybe, she was jealous that I was too popular, so she found someone to make a yin tablet to harm me," Lulu speculated with her head lowered.

　　Lu Fei thought for a moment but shook his head, "It's unlikely. If Bingbing really knew such a person, why would she need to buy the Gaze Chain from Sinisterium Pawnshop? She could have just bought a powerful yin tablet directly."

　　"Moreover, she even took you to Sinisterium Pawnshop to buy something to change your luck. If she were jealous of you, there would be no need for her to do that."

　　"How should I know what she's thinking?" Lulu felt like crying but had no tears, "I considered her my best sister, and I never looked down on her even when she wasn't famous. I shared everything with her. I can't think of anyone else but her."

　　Huzi asked curiously, "Didn't you say two people knew about your birthday, who is the other one?"

　　"That person, it's impossible," Lulu shook her head firmly.

　　"Why?"

　　"She is already dead."

　　"Oh?"

　　This answer was a great surprise to Lu Fei and Huzi.

　　"Bingbing, her, and I, the three of us came from our small town to Jiangcheng to start a new life. We joined the same MCN company, which created different personas for us."

　　Sighing, Lulu began to recount the past.

　　"I go for the sweet and cute style."

　　"Bingbing goes for the cold and aloof style."

　　"Xiaoqin, because she has the most ordinary appearance, can only go for the inspiring person image."

　　"I was the first to make it."

　　"Bingbing, although not very popular, is still getting by."

　　"Only Xiaoqin had the worst luck. This is a society that values looks, and even though she works the hardest among us, she still couldn't make it."

　　"Maybe because of the gap, she gradually distanced herself from us. Later, I heard that her plastic surgery failed, and after that, there was news of her jumping off a building."

　　"That's why I said it definitely wasn't her; she has been dead for half a year."

　　"It can only be Bingbing."

　　A complex sneer appeared on Lulu's scarred face.

　　"Having been sisters for so long, of course I know how eager she is to become famous!"

　　"In a company, there can only be one leading lady. She's in a great position right now; as soon as I fall, the top spot will be hers, won't it?"

　　Faced with such plastic sisterhood, Lu Fei and Hu Zi didn't know what to say.

　　But no matter what, the soul possession had already happened.

　　Dwelling on the reasons now was meaningless; the most important thing was to save Lu Lu's life first.

　　"If it's a case of soul possession, we can't force it. We must first separate your sister's spirit from your body. Otherwise, you'll also be destroyed," Lu Fei said solemnly.

　　"How can we separate them?" Lu Lu was in pain, but to save her life, she had to stay strong.

　　"I only know of one method, and it's very risky. You'll suffer a lot too," Lu Fei said, thinking carefully.

　　"I'm not afraid! As long as I can survive, I'm willing to take the risk!" Lu Lu gritted her teeth. She had already been tortured to the point of having nothing left to lose except her life.

　　"Alright, rest for now. I'll go prepare the necessary items." Lu Fei couldn't help but feel some sympathy for her. A once beautiful woman had been turned into an ugly, foul-smelling creature.

　　This is the consequence of being tainted by an evil object!

　　"I don't want to be here alone," Lulu said immediately.

　　"Huzi will stay with you." Lu Fei looked at Huzi, who indicated that he would definitely take good care of Lulu this time and not let anything happen to her.

　　Lulu was then reassured.

　　Lu Fei, despite his fatigue, went out to buy things without a break.

　　It took him an entire morning to gather everything needed for separating the soul. He also bought some medicine and bandages for treating wounds and bandaged Lulu's injuries.

　　Seeing how serious Lu Fei was, Lulu couldn't help but cry again.

　　Her best friend had gone to great lengths to try to kill her, yet Lu Fei, whom she had only known for a few days, was genuinely helping her.

　　"Manager Lu, thank you."

　　"Don't say that. You are my customer, and taking good care of my customers is my duty," Lu Fei said calmly.

　　"You are so excellent, there must be many girls who like you." LuLu couldn't help but touch the scars on her face. She knew that with her current ugly appearance, she was not worthy of him.

　　"With my current ghastly appearance, I'm afraid no one will ever like me again."

　　"You shouldn't say that. The medical aesthetics industry is very advanced now, there must be a way to treat your scars. Besides, isn't inner beauty the most important thing?"

　　"Is that so..." LuLu fell into silence.

　　Perhaps because the willow whip had worked, Jiejie's spirit did not cause any trouble that day, and all three of them got some rest.

　　In the evening, Lu Fei began to prepare.

　　He took out a brush, dipped it in LuLu's fingertip blood, wrote her birth date and time on a piece of yellow paper, and then stuffed the paper into a straw figure.

　　Then, he had LuLu blow a breath onto the straw figure.

　　With her breath and birth date and time, the straw figure became her substitute.

　　When night fell and Jiejie's spirit awoke, Lu Fei would try to lure it towards the straw substitute.

　　Today, he couldn't write any ghost-repelling characters. After some thought, Lu Fei reluctantly gave Hu Zi a charm to ward off evil.

　　Hu Zi was overjoyed. He knew well the power of this charm and carefully tucked it into his inner pocket, patting it from time to time.

　　Finally, Lu Fei also had Hu Zi and himself smear mud on their faces.

　　"Boss, what's this for?"

　　"This mud was hard to find. It's from a damp place that sunlight never reaches. It can mask our living human scent. That spirit sister is very cunning; I'm afraid if she knows we're here, she won't show up."

　　"The boss really thinks of everything!" Hu Zi was wholeheartedly convinced.

　　Once they were ready, the two hid again.

　　Lulu sat on the sofa, her heart filled with unease. Even though she knew that Lu Fei and Hu Zi were there, she still felt anxious.

　　For these past few days, she had been too scared to look in the mirror, fearing that she would see her ugly appearance and lose the courage to live.

　　She didn't know what her fate would be, and could only pin all her hopes on Lu Fei.

　　The night grew deeper.

　　The entire internet-famous apartment building had fallen silent.

　　There was not the slightest sign of Sister Ling showing up. Lulu, unable to hold on any longer and exhausted after several days of torment, started dozing off.

　　Before long, she fell asleep slumped on the sofa.

　　Huzi was getting impatient, and several times he wanted to ask Lu Fei if Sister Ling wasn't going to come out, but each time, Lu Fei signaled him with his eyes to stay calm.

　　Time crept into the late hours of the night.

　　Due to lack of sleep the night before, drowsiness began to set in, and Huzi couldn't help but yawn, feeling his eyelids grow heavier and heavier.

　　Even Lu Fei was starting to feel the strain.

　　Suddenly.

　　Lu Fei felt a bone-chilling cold, which made him shiver and snap back to full alertness.

　　He raised his head, and suddenly met a pair of eyes filled with venom.

　　Lulu had woken up at some point, and was now staring menacingly at where Lu Fei was hiding, her dark eyes full of coldness.
