A moment later, Gu Yu repeatedly turned to glance at her younger sister. Yaoyao's appearance, as seen through the lens, surprisingly didn't differ much from when she had hair.
"Yaoyao, this talisman actually has such an effect? Why haven't I seen you use it before?"
While the live stream was still queuing up and preparing, Gu Yu couldn't help but ask. With this talisman, it seemed a wig wasn't even needed for concealment.
However, Yaoyao shook her head. "This talisman has many restrictions. It will become ineffective if it encounters certain changes…"
As for what those restrictions were, she didn't elaborate.
But Gu Yu was clever and immediately guessed that these restrictions were probably very common; a slight oversight could break the effect.
Looking at it this way, a solid, tangible solution was still needed.
While he was lost in thought, the number of viewers in the live stream rapidly increased, breaking forty to fifty thousand within a few minutes.
This was despite it being a sudden broadcast without any prior announcement.
Yaoyao chirped in her sweet, childlike voice, "Today, we won't wait too long. We'll start drawing our Fated Persons right away!"
If someone managed to get picked now, it was truly a matter of fate.
Hearing her words, the live stream instantly erupted in excitement.
[Ahhh, it's finally live!]
[It's been so many days, Master. If you didn't stream, I'd have nothing to watch while eating. Grabbing my little stool, ready for the show!]
[Quick, bring up the Fated Person, hahahaha.]
The live stream immediately released the lottery link. Once it was out, netizens in the stream wished they could reach their hands right into the screen.
"Ding dong, the winner list has been announced!"
This was a new feature added after the platform update, announcing the winner list with a voice broadcast, which received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
"Fated Person big sister, what do you want to have divined?"
Yaoyao asked in her milky-soft voice.
This time, the Fated Person was a woman in her twenties. She had long, wavy chestnut-colored hair, dressed in a light blue qipao with a stand-up collar, adorned with moon-white pearl accessories.
The only strong splash of color was the emerald Guanyin pendant around her neck.
Her appearance, at first glance, gave the impression of "intellectual elegance."
[Wow, sister, you're so beautiful!]
[I see the book "Folk Music Theory Textbook" on big sister's bookshelf. Is this gentle big sister also a teacher?]
[Being her student must be super happy!]
The netizens were all sharp-eyed; the camera had only briefly swept across the bookshelf, yet they had spotted the books.
And their guesses were not wrong. The Fated Person's fair face flushed slightly upon hearing the overwhelming praise.
"You guessed correctly, I am indeed a teacher."
She slowly nodded, admitting it.
Then she turned to look at the Master, stating her request: "Master... I want to have my marriage fate divined."
"I... always feel like my boyfriend... isn't real."
"Not real? Big sister, tell me what you mean by 'not real'."
Yaoyao had never heard such a description before, and her dark, curious eyes immediately sparkled.
The Fated Person then explained her boyfriend's situation. It turned out she had met him at a friend's gathering.
That day, friends were teasing and urging drinks. She wasn't feeling well and wanted to decline, but feared being a spoilsport. She was about to drink when he stepped in and helped her out of the predicament.
She was grateful for this. Later, after the gathering, he happened to be going her way and offered her a ride home.
Through their interactions, they both had a good impression of each other and exchanged contact information.
The Fated Person herself had studied music and stayed at the school to work as an assistant teacher after graduating. In her free time, she would attend various concerts.
Because she would occasionally share updates on her social media, one time he suddenly invited her to a concert.
She had initially wanted to refuse, but it was that concert she really wanted to see but had never been able to get tickets for.
Now, with the unexpected tickets in hand, she hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing.
From then on, her real-life interactions with her boyfriend grew more and more frequent. Their relationship evolved from strangers to friends, and from friends to lovers.
Now, they had reached the stage of discussing marriage.
During this period, the Fated Person learned about her boyfriend's family background and character, but then suddenly realized that she couldn't find a single fault.
She wasn't boasting, but she knew that no human could be utterly flawless. The more perfect he seemed, the more something felt wrong to her.
She had mentioned this situation to her parents, who told her she had pre-marital anxiety and shouldn't overthink it.
But the Fated Person had always had her own opinions; to put it less kindly, she was stubborn. Once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't deceive herself.
She had always been a fan of the live stream, and this time, having luckily been chosen, strengthened her resolve to seek a divination.
[Holy crap, if it's really as the Fated Person says, I also think something's off.]
[It's not a conspiracy theory, but aside from your biological parents, no one in the world can be unconditionally good to you.]
[Especially when the other party is such a high-quality, flawless man. If I were the Fated Person, I'd have the same thought.]
Netizens commented animatedly. Although some cursed her for being pretentious and putting on a show, the majority of netizens agreed with her.
This undoubtedly made the Fated Person breathe a sigh of relief, as being different from others inherently brought immense pressure.
"I've already sent his photo to your backend, Master. Please help me take a look."
The Fated Person understood the process of physiognomy, so she didn't wait for the Master to speak and proactively sent the photo.
She thought that if the Master verified there were no problems, she would apologize to her boyfriend for this test. If he wanted to break up, she wouldn't shamelessly cling to him.
The Fated Person's thoughtfulness saved Yaoyao a lot of words. She responded with a soft "Okay" in her milky voice, her gaze falling on the photo in the backend.
The person in the photo was just as the Fated Person described: tall, handsome, with beautifully defined features.
However, Yaoyao wasn't looking at his physical appearance. What she saw at a glance was naturally different from what an ordinary person would see.
Immediately, Yaoyao's expression subtly changed, because this Fated Person's boyfriend indeed had a major problem.
She frowned and said in a low voice, "Big sister, what you need to consider right now isn't whether this man is suitable for you, but that you should first call the police!"
Normally, a person's facial features are set from birth; subsequent changes are merely part of growing up.
But the Fated Person's boyfriend's face had clearly been altered by artificial means, with even the contours and lines changed.
During her time with Seventh Brother these past days, she had learned many things. Such extensive facial alteration was, she believed, called plastic surgery.
This wasn't even the worst part. Because physical appearance, if someone wanted to change it for beauty, wasn't inherently problematic.
But the Fated Person's partner was clearly not in that category. The primary reason he had completely changed his appearance was to evade being hunted down.
His Fate Palace was stained with dozens of bloody lives.
This was a psychologically twisted serial killer whose greatest pleasure was to disguise himself as the perfect man, then deceive naive and beautiful young women, and on their wedding night, torture and dismember them.
Furthermore, after each act, he would peel off the victim's skin and process it with a secret method into drawing paper.
Then, he would invite the most skilled artists to draw the original owner's image on the human skin.
This was no longer just simple perversion; it was a twistedness devoid of humanity.
And unfortunately, the Fated Person was his current target.
If she hadn't encountered Yaoyao today to reveal his true face, the Fated Person would have, under his sugar-coated bullets and the persuasion of her parents and siblings, unknowingly married him.
Ultimately, her blossoming life would have ended in an unimaginably gruesome manner.
