fortune-teller from hell

Chapter 1 Rebirth of a Man Seeking Fortune

　　"Zi zi ...", the old fan made a straining sound, and the room was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant mixed with a lingering putrid stench that was sickening.

　　"Where am I ... at?"Cui Yuzheng looked around, the small room had only a table, a chair and a bed, the wall skin was mottled and reeked of damp mold.

　　He lifted the thin sheet on his body and looked down at his strange body, thin and pale, with a few shocking blood marks remaining on his wrists, as if he had cut them viciously with a knife, only now they had scabbed over.

　　"You're awake?"A pale voice came from the doorway, Choi Yoo Jung looked up and a pale old man suddenly appeared in the room.

　　Choi Yoo Jung opened his mouth and before he could speak, an eerie image suddenly appeared in his mind: by the eerie Bridge of Naihe, he was wearing a black robe and his head was wearing an old fan.

　　The sound of the old fan was like the heavy breathing of a dying old man, echoing in the small room.

　　The air was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant water, intertwined with a lingering stench that made people sick.

　　Cui Yuzheng slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was an unfamiliar sight.

　　"Where am I ...?"He muttered as his eyes swept around.

　　It was a small room with only a table, a chair, and a bed, the wallpaper mottled and peeling off, permeated with a damp and musty smell.

　　He lifted the thin sheet on his body and looked down at his body, thin and pale.

　　A few shocking blood marks remained on his wrists, as if he had been cut hard with a knife, only now they had scabbed over.

　　"You're awake?"An old voice came from the doorway, with a few hoarseness.

　　Choi Yoo Jung looked up and a pale old man appeared in the room, as silent as a ghost.

　　Choi Yoo Jung opened his mouth and before he could speak, a bizarre image suddenly sprang into his mind: by the eerie Bridge of Naihe, himself dressed in a long black robe and a tall hat, with a long line of ghosts in front of him ...

　　"You recognize me?You are ..." Cui Yu is frowning, trying hard to see the old man's face, but found how can not really see, as if shrouded in a layer of fog.

　　"It's not important who I am, what's important is that you're not the same person you were now."The old man did not answer his question, but spoke to himself, "You were telling fortunes in the hell, disturbing the heavenly chances ...."

　　He paused and didn't continue, but just looked at Cui Yuzheng meaningfully.

　　Cui Yu Zheng was even more puzzled, hell?Fortune telling?These words were both strange and familiar to him.

　　He tried hard to catch the flashes of fragments that passed through his mind, but he couldn't.

　　He looked up at the old man with a hint of trembling in his tone, ''What exactly are you trying to say?Who the hell am ... I?"

　　The old man smiled and reached out to pat his shoulder, "You just need to remember that you are now Cui Yuzheng, a living human being, and that's enough."

　　"I ... "Choi Yoo Jung wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by the old man.

　　"I know you have a lot of questions, but this is not the time to talk about them."The old man put away his smile and his expression became serious, "Cui Yuzheng, you disturbed the Heavenly Chance should have been dispersed by your soul.But I cast a spell to bring you back to life.This body's yang life is not yet finished, so you can use it without fear.However, you must accumulate merit and virtue on earth to offset your sin of disturbing the heavenly chances, or else your soul will be scattered."

　　Cui Yu was listening in confusion as he tried to digest the old man's words, trying to piece together the intermittent memory fragments in his mind.

　　However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only recall a few scattered images and some knowledge of metaphysical secret techniques, as if it was a jigsaw puzzle that had lost its most important pieces and could never be complete.

　　"Why am I ... I telling fortunes in hell?And how did I die?"Cui Yu was holding his head in pain, he felt like his head was going to explode, countless voices echoed in his ears, but he couldn't hear any of the complete words.

　　"None of this matters anymore.Some things are better not to remember."The old man shook his head and pointed at a dog behind him that was pitch black with only four white paws and said, "From today onwards, it's yours and it will protect you."

　　"Giving me a dog?"Cui Yu was looking at the black dog in front of him with skepticism in his heart.

　　The black dog seemed to read Choi Yoo Jung's eyes and bared its teeth at him in dissatisfaction, its sharp teeth flashing coldly in the dim light.

　　As Choi Yoo Jung looked at the black dog, a name suddenly appeared in his mind, "Xiao Bai, from now on you will be called Xiao Bai."

　　The black dog obviously froze for a moment, seemingly unhappy with the name, it rolled its eyes and turned its head to the side.

　　Seeing this, the old man said, "Well, you don't have to worry too much, I will come to see you in the future, from now on, you have to be good."

　　Before the words fell, the old man's figure gradually became blurry and eventually turned into a wisp of light smoke and disappeared into the room.

　　The only thing left in the room was Cui Yu being wide-eyed with Xiao Bai.

　　"Xiao Bai?"Choi Yoo Jung called out tentatively.

　　Xiao Bai reluctantly walked to his feet and rubbed its head against his pants leg, sort of accepting the name.

　　Choi Yoo Jung couldn't help but smile at its appearance and reached out to touch its head, the soft fur bringing a hint of comfort.

　　Choi Yoo Jung looked at the empty room with mixed feelings in his heart.

　　Other than some memories of daily life in this body, he didn't know who he really was or why he had ended up in such a situation, all he knew was that he had come from hell, and now he had to live, for the sake of the memories that he didn't know when he would be able to unravel, and for the sake of the unknown future.

　　He looked around, this rental house is small and simple, the air is filled with a musty smell, the corners of the walls are piled up with all kinds of miscellaneous objects, it can be seen that the original owner's life is not as good as it should be.

　　According to the memories of the original owner, the original owner can be described as a loner, the person who lives alone in the world.

　　Cui Yu Zheng sighed and walked to the bedside table, pulling open the drawer, which contained a stack of loose change and a few pieces of identification.

　　He slipped the documents into his pocket and fished out a cell phone from the drawer, with the time: July 1, 2023 displayed on the screen.

　　He stuffed the phone into his pocket and got up, ready to go out.

　　Just then, a sharp knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

　　"Knock knock knock!"

　　"Who is it?"Cui Yuzheng frowned, walked to the door, and opened the door to the room.

　　"Little Song ah, I'm your landlord aunt ah, you're finally back!"Outside the door stood a middle-aged woman with a bloated body and a face full of horizontal meat, it was none other than the landlord's aunt of this rental house.

　　"What's the matter?"Cui Yu Zheng asked, a hint of caution in his tone.

　　"What's the matter?You still have the face to ask me what's the matter?"The landlord aunt crossed her arms and said in a bad tone, "You owe rent for three months, if you don't pay today, move out!"

　　"Rent ..." Cui Yuzheng then remembered that the original owner had been unemployed for half a year and didn't have a penny on her, let alone paying rent.

　　"What?No money?"Auntie landlord saw his embarrassed appearance, the corner of her mouth showed a hint of mocking smile, "Then I don't believe it, have to let me search."

　　With that, she reached out and tried to touch Choi Yoo Jung's waist.

　　Cui Yu Zheng instinctively dodged away and said with an ugly face, "Please respect yourself!"

　　"Yoho, still quite temperamental!"Instead of getting angry, Auntie Landlady became more excited as she grabbed Choi Yoo Jung's arm and pulled him to her side, her whole body almost sticking to him.

　　Cui Yu Zheng struggled hard, but could not break free from the landlady's "passion", in a hurry, he had to say: "If you continue to do so, I will call the police!"

　　"Report ah, you report ah!"Auntie landlord is not moved at all, but more unscrupulous, a hand has begun to be dishonest in his body wandering.

　　"Auntie, you see the tip of your nose black dust dense, fear that there is a leakage of wealth phase ah," Cui Yuzheng hastened to change the subject, "and you see your lower lip, hidden rupture of the elephant, I'm afraid that in the near future there will be a plague of financial ruin ah."

　　"Hahaha," Auntie Landlady looked like she heard a big joke, "You poor bastard can still tell fortunes?Auntie, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, so don't try to fool me with this!"

　　"Auntie, what I'm saying is true, don't believe me, wait and see," Cui Yu Zheng gritted his teeth, "You'll definitely break the bank!"

　　Auntie landlord from the nostrils cold snort, "less nonsense, hurry to pay the rent!"

　　At this moment, the landlady's cell phone rang at an inopportune time, she impatiently picked up the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

　　A man's voice came from the other end of the line, "Hello, is this Ms. Zhang Li?Your vehicle has been cut off at the entrance of the Happy District, please come over as soon as possible to take care of it."

　　"What?!"When the landlord aunt heard this, her face changed, "My car?How could this happen?I'll be right down!"

　　She hung up the phone and glared viciously at Cui Yu Zheng, "Kid, you wait for me!"After saying that, she hurriedly ran out.

　　At this time, Cui Yu Zheng's stomach grumbled.According to the original owner's memory in his mind, Cui Yu Zheng skillfully used his cell phone to order a takeaway, not forgetting to add a strawberry puff to himself.

　　In between waiting for the takeout, Choi Yoo Jung looked at the live streaming software on his cell phone that the original owner had downloaded before he was born, and his heart stirred.

　　"The most important thing now is to make money to support yourself?"Cui Yu Zheng muttered to himself, "Moreover, I have to find a way to replenish my merit, or else my soul will be scattered!"

　　At this time a bold idea formed in his mind: live-streaming fortune-telling!

　　He opened the live streaming software and registered an account called "Fortune Teller from Hades".With everything ready, Cui Yu Zheng took a deep breath, revealed a self-professed charming smile at the cell phone screen, and pressed the live broadcast button.

　　"Welcome to my live broadcasting room, I am the fortune teller from hell - Cui Yuzheng.
