Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 52 The Temptations From The Dark Side

Chiyou's mind was immersed in a turbulent storm when she thought of all she and her family had been through these past few weeks just to survive.

At the same time, those who heard Dorian's words wouldn't help trembling in disbelief.

Luck can be stolen?

This was undoubtedly the craziest thing they had ever heard in their lives.

And even though a greater part of them still didn't believe it, seeing the girl's reaction, they started to ask themselves:... What if it were true?

"Miss Chiyou. Like I said, your luck, fate, destiny and good Karma had placed you very high above others. That's why even though everyone in your home is seriously affected, you are the only one who can still move on your feet. Your boundless luck is being drawn at an astronomical rate. And by the time it's all taken out, you will not live for more than a week!"

That serious?

Butler Sheng, Zhulyn and Raulin looked at Chiyou and couldn't help looking at her pitifully.

And looking at her, one could see that her skin was ashen and sick-looking.

She was moving on a very bleak road. And from what Dorian said, didn't this mean that she could drop dead at any time?

At a visible rate, Chiyou's face grew paler when she heard Dorian's words.

Her words were stuck in her throat as she now fully understood the hidden fear that had been ticked away in her heart these past few days.

It was death! That's right. she had instinctively felt like her time was near.

But she dared not give in because of her family.

Chiyou felt like strangling the bastard who stole her luck.

"Grandmaster! Who was it? Was it someone I know?... Grandmaster, just point me to the person's direction and say no more!" she said coldly.

Someone was going to die, and it wouldn't be her!

.

Dorian thought deeply about this matter.

Something wasn't right here.

'System, if I can recall your exact words... didn't you say that there were no exorcists in this world? Then how is it possible that someone would have the right knowledge and know so much about luck transfer? Are you testing my patience?!'

'Host! Host! Don't be angry! There are indeed no exorcists in this world. But host, have you forgotten about the temptations of the devil?'

'Hm? The temptations of the... Yes!'

Dorian's eyes lit up as he now had a hunch about it all.

Back in his old world, with good and bad cultivators and exorcists available, the demons and devils didn't even need to stretch and go so far to bring chaos into the world.

With greedy and veil cultivators roaming around, their world was done.

But here, they had to do the work for themselves.

The temptations of the dark side.

There were plenty of them.

Some sold their souls to the devil in this world for power, while others did countless other things as well.

And the demons, devil's and whatnot... never made deals face to face. They would appear in dreams and other forms.

Only when they were ready to devour their targets would they show their true selves.

And believe it or not, even now, they always gave humans the right to choose and carry out their own deeds.

.

If Dorian's guess was accurate, some demon or thing appeared to someone in a dream or even left notes or sent mails to a person close to or around Chiyou... telling them about her luck.

And demons were all schemers and liars.

So they could have been putting thoughts into the person's head for months and even a while, saying sentences like: 'You will never be better than her! look at her; she's better than you!'

They often went to those who were already extremely jealous, greedy, selfish and just needed a tiny push to do bad.

Those they targeted in this method were those who were almost all dark inside.

For those who were too bright and promising, they would never use this method but choose other ways instead.

Why? Because the good would always be second-guessing and might end up refusing to do bad and die naturally, still not doing what they wanted.

Good people were the most annoying to demons. Converting their souls was too distressing.

Like in the case with Chiyou, although she was so mad enough to say she wanted to kill the culprit, she still wouldn't go that far.

Provided her luck was good, she was fine with the person going to jail or something in that line.

How would she be able to live with herself if she went to the extreme?

There were many people in the world like this who just wanted justice, and that was all.

And with neutral people with slightly balanced Yin and Yang in their hearts and lives, just like Sota, the demons and other underworld entities would taunt them in various ways instead.

In short, there were various groups of humans.

But the wicked were the best and easiest to deal with.

.

With a push from them, the culprit would then start stalking Chiyou, wanting to know everything about her.

And seeing the enmity and darker thoughts from the person, the devil or demon watching from the sidelines would wait for the opportune moment before 'accidentally revealing how to do a luck exchange.

But because they don't want the information to circulate and accidentally reach even a good person who might counter-attack their plans, they tell the person involved that they only have this one chance for luck exchange.

This was just one scenario.

In other cases, these demons would lie to many and say that Chiyou had robbed their luck instead.

And thus, with vengeance in mind, these people would want to get their 'luck' back from Chiyou.

In short, the culprit is definitely someone she knows.

The Temptations of the dark side.

In some other cases, some would be directly granted the ability to do well in business; others would be given the ability to sing and whatnot.

But all this would be done after selling their soul out, saying that the heavens had no control over them again.

In that case, they would never reincarnate... EVER!

.

Dorian analyzed things silently before settling his gaze at Chiyou again: "Think hard. Before the troubles began. Was there someone strange always around you? Did this person give you anything, take anything from you, or even visit your home? Think long and hard, Miss Chiyou, because that person is most likely the culprit!"
