If I'm not your sister, then who could I possibly be?!" The woman occupying the body of the person's sister suddenly became furious, her expression darkening as she glared at him. At the same time, a flicker of panic flashed in her eyes—too brief for anyone to notice—but she quickly composed herself. She was confident in her ability to remain hidden. Even if her victim's younger brother had discovered something, so what? Could he produce any evidence? The Taoist who had helped her perform the soul-switching ritual had assured her that no one could break his technique. So, no one could take away everything she now possessed. Seeing the fierce ghost lash out at him, the person couldn't help but smirk mockingly. "You know exactly who you are!" "Do you really think I can't expose you?" Witnessing the sudden argument between the siblings, the brother-in-law sitting nearby was utterly confused. He looked at his younger brother-in-law and asked sternly, "Xiao Cheng, do you even realize what you're doing?" His brows were tightly furrowed. Though his wife's attitude toward others had been unpleasant lately, that didn't justify questioning their blood relationship! "Brother-in-law, if you're going to say that, then let me ask you this: haven't you noticed anything strange about the woman beside you?" The younger brother-in-law's gaze was sharp. If the brother-in-law nodded, he would have seriously doubted the master's prediction about their fated connection. How could someone not recognize their own spouse changing? What kind of destined bond was that? If that were true, once his real sister recovered, he would make sure they divorced—because this man didn't deserve her. Fortunately, the brother-in-law didn't disappoint him. The latter fell silent, and his reaction clearly indicated that he had harbored suspicions. At this moment, the person turned to the ghost inhabiting his sister's body and sneered, "It seems you haven't been hiding as well as you thought. A fake is always a fake." This statement was meant to provoke the woman, but her composure exceeded his expectations. "Jiang Cheng, if you have an issue with your sister, just say it. Don't drag your brother-in-law into this." "I'm pregnant right now, and you're trying to drive a wedge between us like this?" Though her face twisted in rage, she managed to suppress her emotions and even feigned a pitiful expression. Seeing her stubborn refusal to admit anything, the person decided not to waste more words. He addressed the phone in his hand. "Master, I've lured her here. Now it's up to you to handle the rest." As soon as these words left his mouth, the ghost occupying the body froze, only now realizing that the person had been livestreaming the entire time. "What are you trying to do?!" The thought of being accused by her younger brother of being possessed by a malevolent spirit—and having it broadcast online—infuriated her far more than any attempt to sow discord. Without hesitation, she lunged for the phone. But at that precise moment, Yao Yao, who had been waiting for the perfect opportunity, recited the exorcism chant aloud. While such chants had no effect on ordinary humans, they were devastating against malicious spirits. Moreover, Yao Yao, who was on the verge of stepping into the eighth tier of spiritual cultivation, carried the blessings of heaven and earth within her soul. Even through the phone, the chant remained a formidable threat. The ghost, who had been fiercely charging forward, suddenly convulsed as if struck by lightning. Like a rubber band snapping back, she was violently flung several meters away. "Xiao Rou!" The brother-in-law's face paled. He didn't understand what had just happened. Why had his wife suddenly flown backward like that? The distance wasn't short. Though he suspected something was off about her, what if he was wrong? She was pregnant! If she got hurt, he wouldn't be able to bear it. But before he could approach her, his younger brother-in-law grabbed him urgently. "Brother-in-law, don't go over there yet!" The brother-in-law was now visibly irritated. He snapped, "Xiao Cheng, are you absolutely sure about this? What if you're wrong?" The person wanted to affirm his certainty but hesitated. After all, the body did belong to his sister. What if this harmed her or the unborn child? Just as he swallowed his words and considered asking the master for clarification, he saw the figure on the ground rise eerily. "AAAAHHHH! I'LL KILL YOU!" The ghost's hair was disheveled, and her soul, severely damaged, caused her to act like a madwoman. The piercing shriek made both men wince. The brother-in-law was about to say something, but when he finally got a clear look at her face, he froze in horror. Her face had split into two distinct halves, like a yin-yang symbol. One side was the familiar face of his wife, while the other was that of a stranger. This unfamiliar face was pale and ghastly, covered in terrifying corpse spots and rotting flesh. He was completely stunned! Meanwhile, the person continued holding the phone, and the live stream audience witnessed the horrifying scene. The chat exploded with reactions. [Holy crap, this is terrifying! I've got goosebumps all over!] [This is ten thousand times scarier than any horror movie!] [The brother-in-law has it worse. We're just watching through a screen, but he's been sleeping next to that for months! Oh my god, the psychological trauma must be insane!] "Xiao Cheng was right. You're not Xiao Rou." "Who are you?!" Finally snapping out of his shock, the brother-in-law's expression darkened with fury. Though he couldn't see the chat, he wasn't stupid. Putting together his younger brother-in-law's earlier shout for the master and considering that he wasn't a staunch atheist, he instantly realized this might involve supernatural forces. At the same time, reflecting on his wife's strange behavior over the past few months, he felt a wave of nausea. It must have been this monstrous entity all along. The crazed woman, upon hearing the question, froze for a moment. When she caught sight of her reflection in the living room's glass door, her face contorted with rage. She knew she had been fully exposed. She stopped pretending altogether, glaring at the man with a chilling voice. "You dare ask who I am?! How dare you ask who I am?!" "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this—a cursed wretch!" The brother-in-law was stunned by her roar. Not only was half her face horribly decayed, but even if it were intact, he likely wouldn't recognize her. He never flirted with strange women, whether before or after marriage. And now, she was accusing him as though he were some heartless cad. Unaware of these details, the younger brother-in-law's gaze shifted suspiciously between the man and the ghost. The brother-in-law's temple throbbed as he hurriedly defended himself. "I swear, I don't know her!" But the younger brother-in-law clearly didn't believe him. Turning to the live stream, he pleaded, "Master, is this true?" After everything that had happened, he trusted no one but the master. Yao Yao had been closely monitoring the situation. Upon hearing the question, she slowly nodded. In a soft, childlike voice, she said, "She's right. Her death does have something to do with your brother-in-law." "But it wasn't directly caused by him." "Because... it was entirely her own fault."
