Chapter 8

Author: Night Dove
“Geneva, I’ve always thought of you as my best friend, too.

“However, I never told you that my mother was diagnosed with late-stage bone cancer last year. A relative who’s a doctor said my mother’s condition was incurable because it was not a form of primary tumor. It is a symptom of cancer cells from other parts of the body metastasizing into her bones, and the only way my mother could prolong her life was with amputation.

“During that period, my father ended up spending all of our family savings, but it wasn’t much help, either. I remember my mother would cry and howl in pain in the hospital ward every night and how much it hurt me to hear her cry.

“We saw so many doctors who use all kinds of medicine. In the end, my father could not bear to see my mother suffer and ended up going to a clairvoyant.

“The clairvoyant told him that my mother was plagued with misfortune and was destined to die a harrowing death. The only way for her to turn things around was to swap her destiny with

  • Destiny Swap Ritual   Chapter 10

    In the year I was born, there was a terrible global economic crisis.My father’s stock profile plummeted, and he lost all his money. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy.Around that time, I caught a terrible fever that left me paralyzed in bed. I was sent to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with a severe case of leukemia.To make money for my treatment, my father took his friend’s advice and went off to Toulouse.When he returned, it was as if he was another person. No longer was he always exhausted. He became full of life and energy, even wearing a Rolex watch worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.He returned with countless brand-name bags for my mother and a medical expert from Toulouse for me.I recovered after that, and from then on, things continued to improve for our family.After that, my dad had turned from an atheist to a devout businessman who kept statues of idols at home.I knew the reason he kept them around was not to receive blessings and wealth, bu

    I rushed to the pawnshop only to find that the lot was vacant. Nothing was left behind.It turned out the pawnshop was just a cover the entire time!I calmed myself down before hailing a taxi, immediately handing a hundred-dollar bill to the driver as soon as I entered.“Take me to Bleiwort!”Bleiwort was a rural village in the region of our city. Ten years ago, my father was nominated as an exemplary entrepreneur and received an offer to head to rural villages to offer financial assistance.It was then that my father agreed to sponsor Job’s education.If he loved to study as much as he claimed to, what could have led him to become a clairvoyant after graduation?I thought he would most likely be in the village.By the time the taxi pulled into Bleiwort, it was already dusk.I stepped out of the taxi and inspected the area. It turned out to be more dilapidated than I expected. Everywhere I looked, there were mud huts with scattered groups of elderly and children huddled outs

    I felt a tingling sensation run through my skull, but I was too terrified to turn around.Helena retracted her gaze. “I’m moving out tomorrow. Now that things have turned out this way, we’re going our separate ways.”I was slightly taken aback by her words. Then I turned to face Sybille.I still remember seeing the pen pointing toward her moments before the spirit killed Anette.After everything that went down just now, it was hard for me not to suspect that she was hiding something from me.Was it truly Anette who had swapped her destiny with mine?If so, why was the class monitor given the national scholarship instead of her?I began to suspect that Sybille was the one manipulating Helena the entire time. Come to think of it, she was the one who pointed out the notebook to me as well.Sybille met my gaze for a moment before looking away. I could sense she was actively avoiding my gaze.Before I could speak, her phone rang. It was her father calling. With that, she put on

    The pencil shook and dropped on the table, and then it started spinning. It paused briefly in front of Helena before turning to point at Anette.I was just about to speak when the pencil started to move again.This time, it pointed at Sybille.…Out of nowhere, Anette dropped to her knees.“I’m sorry, Geneva. I was the one who stole your gold necklace!”“At the time, my father broke his leg and the construction company he worked for was withholding his salary. We didn’t have any source of income, so I got desperate and stole your necklace so I could pawn it off for cash!“In the end, I couldn’t get over my guilt and never committed to it. I kept it hidden the entire time and have been hoping for the right time to give it back to you.”Before I could respond, the pencil moved again to scribble something on the paper. It wrote the word ‘karma’ before the candles suddenly went out.I felt what seemed like a cold gust of wind blow past me and shuddered.What was strange was that

    Before I could even figure out what to say, Anette made the first move and immediately reached for my arm.“Geneva, you're here! That’s perfect! I’m going to treat everyone to dinner tonight. What do you want to eat?”I was repulsed by how forward and friendly she was with me.Anette was not a very enthusiastic person by nature. The way she was being so friendly led me to believe that she felt guilty about what she had done and was trying to overcompensate for it.I glanced at Sybille and noticed her contemplative expression. I thought for a moment and strained a smile.“Let's just order takeout instead. It’s way too cold outside. I don’t think I can handle being out there.”Before we ate, I texted Job.[Was tucking one’s hair into my belongings all that was needed to swap one’s destiny with mine?]He replied quickly, [To do that, the suspect not only has to tamper your belongings with something that belongs to them, they would also have to take something that belongs to you.
