Her mother left in a hurry, leaving Strawberry Jam to look after her sister.

Strawberry Jam seemed to have thought of something and asked this streamer—that she trusted and admired very much—for help. 

“Host, you are so powerful, can you perhaps deal with the cave god?”

The audience in the livestream channel exploded in comments.

[What cave god? My goodness, you have gods there?]

[Cave god doesn’t sound very serious.]

An Rugu had heard of the Fallen Cave Maiden and the Cave God. Seeing the audience’s confusion, she explained, “Xiangxi region is known for three unique things: one is corpse-driving, the other is poison gu, and the third is the Fallen Cave Maiden.

“When an unmarried woman enters a cave and is favored by the cave spirit, the spirit will absorb her soul. The woman whose soul was absorbed will become insane. She is known as a cave maiden. People believe that the soul of a cave maiden is left behind accompanying the cave spirit.”

[Prosperity, strength, people’s well-being, and harmony between culture and society…]

[I heard there are a lot of caves in western Hunan, so some of them must have gone into caves. Perhaps someone went insane first, and everyone couldn’t figure out how to explain it, so they called them ‘Fallen Cave Maiden’]

[This sounds scientific, but the destined person’s sister just entered the cave, and when she came back, she was already like this. This is too weird.]

“Ah? How do you know everything? Yes, that’s right.”

After hearing An Rugu’s words, Strawberry Jam admired her even more. She said anxiously, “I heard from my elders that there really were cave maidens in the past, but they are rarely seen nowadays. Can you drive that cave god away?”

An Rugu thought for a moment and said, “Turn the camera around so I can see your sister’s face.”

“Okay!” Strawberry Jam flipped the camera phone and aimed it at her sister who was semi-conscious on the bed.

Although the weather was quite cold, her sister’s forehead was covered with sweat, her brows were furrowed, and her lips were trembling, as if she was in the middle of a horrible nightmare.

An Rugu looked the other person up and down, then calculated with her fingers; her eyes slightly changed.

There was no supernatural aura around her, so she shouldn’t have been possessed by the so-called ‘cave god’.

But her appearance showed obvious signs of her soul leaving her body.

An Rugu then said, “It’s probably not the cave god’s doing. She just lost her soul.”

“Ah, lost her soul?” Strawberry Jam was stunned. “What does that mean she lost her soul?”

“Humans have three souls and seven spirits. She had been so frightened that she lost one of her souls, causing imbalance between yin and yang, leading to this semi-coma state.”

Strawberry Jam took a deep breath. “It’s as scary as being seen by the cave god. Is it impossible to save her?”

An Rugu slowly shook her head. “It’s not that difficult to remedy losing a soul. How about this? I’m not there, so I can only give you limited guidance. I’ll draw a talisman for you that will summon her soul”

Back then, their village chief’s granddaughter nearly drowned, and lost her soul in fright. After her soul was called back, she recovered as before.

An Rugu left the computer, walked into another room, took out some cinnabar and yellow paper, and drew a talisman from the Jade Girl Joyful God Technique.

The symbols on it were as red as blood, the patterns extremely complex, and the symbols extremely complicated.

She immediately returned to the camera and ignited the talisman that had the sister’s birth date written on it. The talisman ignited without wind, and a white shadow appeared on it. The energy contained in it slowly flew into the distance.

After a while, under Strawberry Jam‘s anxious and expectant gaze, the woman on the bed frowned deeper and deeper, and then slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body was covered in sweat, as if she had been washed with water.

Seeing her sister standing in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief. “Sister, I had a nightmare. I wanted to wake up, but I couldn’t wake up. It was so terrifying.”

Strawberry Jam touched her sister’s forehead and asked quickly, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here. How are you feeling?”

The woman tried to move her feet, with evident surprise in her eyes, “I can move now, what did you do to me?”

“I asked the livestreamer to help cure your illness. She said you had been badly frightened and lost your soul. She used a talisman on you and it healed you.”

The woman immediately leaned over to her phone to thank An Rugu. Strawberry Jam was also very grateful and sent a few more gifts as reward for the soul summoning.

Her sister seemed to have thought of something and was a little scared. “I was scared to death, I thought I really became a cave maiden. Was that snake I saw a cave god?”

An Rugu took a sip of tea and said calmly, “If it were a cave god, you would definitely have its aura on you. Don’t worry, it’s just an ordinary snake.”

“That’s good.” Her sister breathed a sigh of relief.

After hanging up the phone, the barrage was full of 666.

[Wow, the medicine worked! Guys, hurry up and post your awesomeness on the public screen.]

[I, the Dragon King, have returned. Little cave god? How ridiculous.]

[Is it so easy to lose your soul after being frightened? My brother was frightened the night before last and had a fever for several days. After being cured with intravenous drip, he has been in a daze ever since. I also want a talisman to summon souls.]

[Where I am, we have people who come to call back the soul. When a child’s soul is lost, parents hold their clothes and walk on the street to call back the soul. After calling, the child will quickly recover. However, not many people practice calling back the soul these days, and I don’t know how it works.]

After seeing these comments, An Rugu thought for a moment and said, “The soul-calling talisman is more effective than calling back souls physically, and it works faster. If you want to buy one, you can come to Cloud Rise Temple to buy it. After the livestream, I will post the process of calling back souls on Weibo. Anyone who needs it can take a look.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she contacted the third person destined to meet her. [Society Member Brother Zhang], and soon, a man in his teens appeared on the screen.

He has a buzz cut, some stubble on his face, and his arms are covered with tattoos, giving off the vibe of a young man from a gang.

[Welcome, the third destined person.]

[Welcome, the third unlucky person.]

[Brother Zhang, you’re a tough guy, but you don’t talk much… Sorry, I accidentally said that. I suspect this destined person is a gangster.]

[Take away the word ‘suspect’; he’s definitely a thug, exactly like the Shamate I saw on the streets before.]

Brother Zhang was nonchalant. Seeing the comments on the screen trying to guess his identity, he sneered, “What the hell are you talking about? Bunch of Idiots.

“I’m going to say this today. Maybe I’m just a man from society, but while you guys are poor, I’m still a rich kid. Tell me, do you hate me? Hahahahaha.”

Livestream audience: “???”

T/N: The word 社会 literally means ‘society‘; a neutral word referring to a large group of people with shared values etc. Perhaps it started out as a euphemism (‘he’s a person from society’) but it has now come to refer to thugs and gangsters. It would probably be like a mafia guy in a suit saying ‘I come from an organization that detests violence.’ 😅 

‘Shamate‘ came from the word ‘smart’ but something probably got lost in the translation 😂 It refers to a 2000s subculture with an edgy dress and lifestyle. It’s said to have originated from migrant factory workers in Southern China, people who have moved from the rural areas to the city and tried to establish their own identity. It’s usually met with disapproval from the mainstream community.
