Part 1The Psychic Streamer

During a livestream, I connected with a top celebrity filming in Southeast Asia.
He was hiding in his hotel room, looking sickly green, his expression terrified:
"Streamer, I think I've encountered something unclean!"
I pondered for a moment: "Indeed, there is something unclean..."
Fans frantically flooded the chat, begging me to save their idol.
I dipped my brush in cinnabar, drew a talisman with fluid strokes, and held it up to the camera:
"An anti-diarrhea talisman. Screenshot it and use it as your phone wallpaper; it will protect your stomach in Southeast Asia.
"The director told you to do a light fast, not to lightly bite off unclean food at the night market, okay?"
Hearing me say this, the celebrity visibly tensed up, repeatedly making a "shh" gesture at the camera.
"Julian Thorne!
"Didn't you say you went to the gym last night?!"
A hand as white as porcelain reached into the frame, expertly twisting Julian's ear half a turn, making him yelp in pain.
"Sis, Sis, I was wrong!
"I just went to eat some raw marinated seafood. It didn't have an ingredient list, and you said if it doesn't have a label, it's zero calories!"
Julian twisted and dodged, accidentally bringing his sister into the frame.
【Oh my god, my carb-loving idol. Have you guys forgotten how he warned everyone right after debut to cherish the time while he was still thin?】
【Stop laughing, guys. Dieting is really hard. Only our brother knows the spicy and savory joy in that food!】
【Sister Thorne has such an authoritative face! Petition for Julian to switch to mukbang and let Sister Thorne debut!】
Seeing she was also on camera, Sister Thorne resentfully released her grip on Julian.
Julian covered his ear with a mournful face and asked me for help:
"Streamer, it's true I ate something bad, but I really encountered something unclean.
"Last night, I got up in the middle of the night with diarrhea. The TV was on, the screen full of smoke, and I could faintly hear people screaming. I thought I forgot to turn off the TV before sleeping, and couldn't find the remote, so I just unplugged it. But when I got up again for the bathroom, the TV was still on, showing the same scene!"
I explained:
"The south side of your room corresponds to the Li trigram, meaning excessive fire energy, and the Five Elements belong to Wood. Such a building is best balanced by being built near water. But there is no sign of water around you. This kind of hotel location, if it encounters the Flying Star of the year, is prone to 'fire disasters.' This place must have suffered a devastating fire in the past, causing great loss of life."
Julian's face grew uglier as he listened. He took out another phone to search online.
"Damn, a tanker truck overturned downstairs before, exploded, and caused a huge fire that burned hundreds of people to death!"
Julian's face turned pale, looking at his sister in disbelief:
"Sis, I'm your biological brother. How could you set me up like this?!"
Sister Thorne rubbed her forehead, unable to force a smile:
"Did you forget we're filming a horror movie? The director designated this location for shooting! When you were interviewed, didn't you look forward to staying in a haunted hotel?"
Julian clutched his head and wailed:
"I thought it was just hype! Other camping variety shows film in the wild but go back to sleep in hotel suites. How was I supposed to know that filming a horror movie meant actually staying in a hotel where a fire happened?! We don't need to be this immersive!"
【Go! Go! Go! Let's go, see how strong the ghost hotel vibe is...】
【First time seeing a team not revolving around the artist but playing the artist like a fiddle.】
【You guys really have no heart. Am I the only one worried about my brother's safety?】
Seeing too many anxious comments, I spoke up to comfort them:
"Don't worry, the fire was many years ago, and the hotel has been renovated. Your Fortune Palace is full, your Yintang is wide and upright without lines, indicating a life of prosperity. If it weren't for your physical discomfort depleting your Yang fire, you wouldn't see these things at all.
"Use the anti-diarrhea talisman. After a sleep, you won't be affected anymore. Just place your slippers, one facing forward and one backward, in front of the bed. This indicates you are just passing through, and they won't disturb you again."
Julian gripped his sister's arm tightly, shaking his head like a rattle drum:
"I won't listen, I won't listen. I absolutely refuse to stay in this room tonight!"
Sister Thorne was helpless:
"Then let's swap rooms, okay?"
The boy nodded vigorously.
Sister Thorne broke free from his grip and solemnly thanked me facing the camera:
"Thank you so much today. When Julian's movie is released, we'd like to invite you to the premiere. Is that okay?"
As she spoke, a necklace accidentally revealed from her collar caught my attention.
