Chapter 161: Chapter 161: She Has a Deadly Fate Chapter 161: Chapter 161: She Has a Deadly Fate Since Scarlett Jennings joined the show, she didn’t really try to stand out much. But according to Sebastian Carew’s observations, whenever she spoke up first, she certainly discovered something. His gaze followed Scarlett Jennings to the two people she had stopped, and Sebastian secretly wondered if there was something special about them. Surely it can’t be another cheating couple. But it didn’t seem like it. The ones Scarlett Jennings stopped were a couple, noticeably older than the other young couples in the guesthouse. They were more like a married pair than just dating. Sebastian looked at the rings on their hands and understood immediately. Indeed, they were a married couple. Logically, this didn’t really fit their task’s target, but Sebastian didn’t speak up, feeling there must be a reason for Scarlett stopping this couple. As Scarlett Jennings already took the initiative to speak up, “Hello, we’re filming a paranormal exploration reality show and need a couple to do a task with us. Would you be available?” The couple turned to face the camera with no usual awkwardness, projecting an open and relaxed demeanor. The wife was initially surprised but quickly smiled, “Are you filming that show called ‘Inspiration’? The guesthouse owner mentioned it to us, but my husband and I are checking out this afternoon, sorry...” The wife clearly had a gentle, intellectual vibe, and her husband, beside her, was smiling at her as she spoke, clearly implying she was the decision-maker. This tender and considerate demeanor had the audience in the live stream exclaiming how refreshing it was. [This is what a real couple looks like. What was that nonsense with the previous two?] [This is healing!] [The couple seems to have a good relationship. The guesthouse’s ‘curse’ probably won’t affect them.] [Isn’t the curse meant for couples? They’re already married.] [Are they still considered task targets? I don’t think so.] [But why did Scarlett invite them?] [My Sebastian just found a new target!] Sebastian Carew thought Scarlett Jennings would insist on gaining their participation, even after rejection. But hearing the wife’s refusal, she also didn’t show much insistence. She simply watched the wife and then suddenly took out a Brocade Bag from her backpack. Sebastian visibly froze upon seeing it. The live stream audience was equally stunned. [Wait, isn’t that the life-saving bag given by the program team?] [Is she really going to give it away? Why?] [I have a bold guess! Did Scarlett see something again?] [No, sweet girl, the program said it’s a life-saving amulet! It’s only the second episode, how can you give away the amulet?!] However, despite the protests of the audience in the live stream, Scarlett Jennings handed the amulet bag to the wife. “If you don’t want to participate in the filming, then please take this.” She said, “It’s the amulet from the program team for safety purposes, please carry it with you at all times.” “Huh?” Perhaps Scarlett seemed too serious, and the wife was taken aback, unsure why this young girl was giving her this item. Instinctively, she looked at her husband beside her. But when her husband saw Scarlett handing over the amulet, a moment of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. “How can we accept this? Why don’t you keep it for yourself? We don’t really believe in these things.” The man spoke for the first time, his tone gentle and courteous. Yet Scarlett glanced over him with her clear gaze, her almond eyes pale, “Isn’t she your wife? Wouldn’t a protective amulet keep her safe, isn’t that good?” Though Scarlett’s tone was light, for some reason, Sebastian faintly sensed that she seemed to have some animosity towards the husband. The husband seemed to sense something too, looking deeply at Scarlett, and eventually, he said nothing more. Though curious, the wife ultimately accepted the amulet from Scarlett Jennings. After thanking her, the two left the restaurant and went on their way. Sebastian Carew watched them walk away, then turned to Scarlett, not minding being in front of the camera, he asked, “Why did you give them the amulet? Did you see something again?” Sebastian’s question was the same as what the program crew and viewers in the live stream wanted to know. After all, they had been heavily briefed on the amulet’s purpose that morning. Every guest had only one life-saving talisman, and Scarlett gave it away just like that. Something was definitely amiss. Many people online speculated if they had been possessed by some malign spirit, like Mr. Guan in the last episode. Luckily, Scarlett didn’t plan to hide anything when asked. She just said, “She recently has a calamity.” Her voice was as calm as the wind, yet inexplicably oppressive. Sebastian frowned noticeably upon hearing her words. He initially thought something had possessed them, needing her to give away the only life-saving talisman, yet he hadn’t expected it to be a calamity. No wonder. But... “Aren’t you going to warn her?” Sebastian didn’t doubt her judgment, but since she made a judgment, it was important to try and inform. After all, it involved a life. Scarlett looked at him and replied after a while, “I have no evidence.” That tone seemed to hold a hint of frustration? Sebastian assumed she meant she couldn’t provide evidence for things in metaphysics and fate, so they naturally wouldn’t believe her. Only Scarlett knew when she said there was no evidence, it was because... the crime had yet to be committed. She had no evidence. The live stream audience, upon learning there was indeed a calamity, also left comments, trying to raise the couple’s awareness. But it was futile. From their attitude earlier, they clearly weren’t aware of the show ‘Inspiration.’ Some viewers blamed Scarlett for not warning the woman if she knew such a thing, arguing that regardless of belief, she should be alerted. Otherwise, it’s no different from indirect murder. Scarlett’s fans reacted with, [Are you joking? She gave away her only life-saving amulet, what more do you want?] After all, a chance meeting, who would take it seriously if you went up and told them they were going to die? Scarlett didn’t have any obligation. Giving away a life-saving amulet was already more than enough. Due to this incident, even though Sebastian and Scarlett successfully found a couple to team up with for the task, the live stream viewers were still concerned about the couple who had just left. Some viewers even went as far as posting on social media to find the couple’s family or friends, hoping to alert them through those connections. These people were more curious than concerned. Curious about what the so-called “calamity” really entailed.
