This kind of sorcery is just like a shady loan.
The luck stolen from others through sorcery can be regarded as a loan.
When the loan is issued, in order to make more money, the lender will charge a handling fee according to a certain proportion. Only the remaining money will be given to the borrower.
At the same time, the loan will accrue interest, which needs to be repaid monthly. If the interest cannot be repaid, your original assets will be seized.
Duan Xing is not from the world of metaphysics and has no idea how to increase his own luck on his own.
Or rather, he actually understands that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will surely bring blessings, but this way of increasing luck is extremely inefficient.
Nian Nian has so much luck and merit because in her previous two lifetimes, in one, she transformed from a koi into a dragon and was naturally favored by the Heavenly Dao. In the second, it was as if she had saved the world and many Taoists, who bestowed a great deal of merit and luck on her. Only through the accumulation of these two lifetimes did she stack an invincible buff.
It can be seen how rare luck and merit are.
So, in order to repay the "loan" incurred by the sorcery, Duan Xing could only use the high - frequency disappearance sorcery to absorb others' luck, trying to fill this bottomless pit.
It was as if he had become a slave to the sorcery after using it.
However, this sorcery also brought him many benefits. He actually thought that the days of being a slave to this thing were quite good.
After using this sorcery, he not only gained fame, fortune, but also had unimaginable magical abilities.
For example, if he disliked someone or found someone annoying, he could just mutter a few words or have strong dissatisfaction in his heart. When he was blessed with great luck, the Heavenly Dao would unconsciously side with him.
Even if he did nothing but just curse a few times, the other person would have bad luck.
The benefits of luck are countless, and Duan Xing has reaped a lot.
It was Zhao Tang's grandma who gave him this sorcery back then.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What is luck? I don't understand a single word you're saying. Don't think you can drag me into this by fabricating some baseless charges. You little kid are just spouting nonsense!"
Duan Xing, of course, knew exactly what he had done. He was like a bristling cat, jumping up in anger and denying everything.
This attempt to cover up only made people more suspicious.
But he was a top - tier male star and still had many crazy fans and die - hard fans.
Among the audience in front of the live - stream, some still didn't want to believe Nian Nian's words.
Until more evidence was presented.
Nian Nian was not naive enough to think that the other person would confess just because she said a few words.
After all, no villain would write their misdeeds on their face. And no villain would expose themselves before they were completely cornered.
Although Xiao Tuan Zi was still just a child, he was an experienced one.
As the saying goes, ghosts are full of lies.
When Xiao Tuan Zi usually dealt with ghosts, he heard countless lies. A glib ghost would often portray themselves as a poor and tragic figure. Even when all their misdeeds were exposed, they would wail miserably about how painful their past had been.
"When you first became famous, you didn't absorb much luck. After all, you were unknown before that, and there weren't many people you could deceive. The conditions for the sorcery you used were extremely harsh. You had to draw a rune with your own blood and have someone wear it for at least fourteen days for it to take effect.
The first time you used it, you deceived a teenage girl. You specially processed your photo, split it into two parts, sandwiched the bloody rune in the middle, and gave it to the girl.
The girl trusted you very much and wore it every day. After a week, bad luck started to befall the girl. At first, it was just small things like being hit by bird droppings while walking or choking on water occasionally. Later, it evolved into almost being hit by a flower pot while walking.
It wasn't until this person was killed because you had absorbed all her luck that the rune lost its effect.
Later, you used the pretext of giving autographs and star photos several times to give out the runes you had drawn yourself. More and more people were deceived by you, and you became more targeted, specifically choosing young ladies from wealthy families. After all, even if they had bad luck, it couldn't be too bad. So far, you have killed more than a hundred people."
Nian Nian didn't refute him but just talked about the results she had calculated.
Once some things were exposed, someone would surely verify them one by one.
For example, the victims who associated themselves with these things.
The live - stream barrage had already exploded. The barrages were popping out one after another.
[It can't be true, right? How is it possible to steal someone's luck?]
[Wait, I'm a fan of Duan Xing. I went to a fan meeting he held before and received a small gift from his agent, which was just a postcard with an autograph. I just used a knife to cut open the postcard, and there really was a rune written in red paint inside!]
[Damn it, sister above, don't go! Mine also has one!]
[I have one too. Damn it. I spent more than a hundred thousand yuan just to grab a spot at that fan signing event. So it was a death - bringing talisman, huh?]
[Come to think of it, I had a classmate in school who was extremely infatuated with Duan Xing. She was so crazy that she would eat nothing but steamed buns for a month just to support his concert. Later, she also attended a small fan meet - and - greet he held. After she came back, she started to have bad luck. She just passed away last month. Even more terrifying is that right after she died, the list of students recommended for admission to the school she had always been longing for came out, and she was the one selected!]
[Oh my god, what this kid said is true. Did Duan Xing really kill more than a hundred people because of this?]
[Damn it. How could such a strange person get into the entertainment industry? I'm so heart - broken. I won't dare to casually like any star in the future.]
[Woohoo, I'm also involved. I bought a postcard from someone else at a high price last month, and there was a rune in it. Oh my god, what this little Taoist priest said is all true.]
As more and more people came forward to share their experiences, the audience, who had been skeptical at first, now believed about 70 - 80%.
People kept posting on the barrage about how they had just discovered the runes in the postcards.
And Duan Xing's rivals also smelled the opportunity and flocked over. For a moment, the barrage was in chaos, and almost all the messages were condemning Duan Xing.
After condemning for a while, many people finally asked the key question.
For those who had already had their luck stolen or were in the process of having it stolen, was there still a way to save them?
