A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 16 Precognitive Dreams

"I dream too, why didn't anyone tell me that this was a skill?" He Yifei said.

He was already afraid of this kind of story, so he deliberately used this nitpicking and questioning approach to try to stop Song Jiale from continuing the story.

"How can your dreams be the same as other people's dreams? In your dreams, you grind your teeth, snore, and fart, making a terrible racket." Song Jiale rolled his eyes.

Hearing that someone was smearing his reputation, He Yifei felt like jumping for joy.

"Don't make false accusations! When did I make that much noise while I was sleeping?"

"Hehe." Song Jiale answered his question with just two words.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lang delivered the most devastating blow at this moment.

"It's okay, we've been listening to it for three years, we're used to it."

"..." He Yifei.

His previous arrogance vanished instantly.

Seeing that the topic had gone off-topic by more than 80 degrees, Lin Yue quickly steered it back on track.

"What about that Brother Luo you mentioned? Keep going."

Song Jiale then continued, "Brother Luo is a remarkable person, unlike Lao He. The most special thing about his dreams is that he can see some future events in his dreams. He can see not only his own but also other people's, so many people will specifically seek him out to tell their fortunes."

Lin Yue crossed her arms, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Predicting the future?"

"Hmm... I didn't ask Brother Luo to tell my fortune, but I think that's roughly the idea," Song Jiale pondered.

"Holy crap, is this for real? If it's that amazing, then Brother Luo must be rich!" Zhao Lang exclaimed incredulously.

"Of course it's true. Didn't I say? These are all things I've personally experienced. But this ability isn't as miraculous as you think."

"First of all, those dreams aren't 100% accurate; out of ten, they'll occasionally be wrong three or four times."

"Secondly, it was what Brother Luo told us kids himself that most of his dreams were nightmares, all of them bad things, which made him afraid to sleep every night. He only felt more comfortable at night when he was with us kids."

"Why is that?" Lin Yue asked.

"I don't know. Brother Luo's mind isn't clear, and what he's saying is incoherent. I have no idea what he means. However, since he's having nightmares, it leads to a problem—" Song Jiale paused for a second, then suddenly changed the subject, "Fortune telling is all about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. Being able to have nightmares means that you can only avoid misfortune, not seek good fortune."

"That's awesome too," Zhao Lang said.

Are there really such extraordinary people in this world?

As a college student, he was unwilling to believe in such supernatural and bizarre things, but Song Jiale spoke with such seriousness and repeatedly assured him that these were things that had happened around him, which made him start to waver.

"In short, because of this ability, many people in our area bring gifts or even money to ask Brother Luo to help them have a dream. This is also why Brother Luo's mother was willing to raise him for so long. Otherwise, that old hag would have thrown Brother Luo away long ago," Song Jiale said with a sneer.

Judging from his appearance, even after so many years, he still doesn't like Luo Erge's mother.

"However, one day, a big boss who drove a luxury car came to our place. He said he came from another province because he had lost something very important, so he wanted Brother Luo to use his dream to help him find it."

Looking for something? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with "avoiding disaster," Lin Yue thought to herself.

The other two didn't interrupt either.

He was clearly engrossed in listening.

"Brother Luo himself was not very willing. He said he had never helped anyone find things before and didn't know how. The big boss couldn't persuade Brother Luo no matter what he tried. But the boss was a boss after all. He took a roundabout route and used a large sum of money to persuade Brother Luo's mother."

"As a result, that money-grubbing old hag cursed and beat him, forcing Brother Luo to have no choice but to agree to the big boss's request."

At this moment, Song Jiale seemed to remember something, and suddenly stopped, lowered his head, took off his glasses and wiped them vigorously.

"However, these two people also caused Brother Luo a lot of trouble because of this."

"What happened?" Lin Yue asked.

"That's right, something big has happened." Song Jiale said in a deep voice, taking a deep breath. "Perhaps the thing that the big boss lost is a bit strange. Ever since Brother Luo helped him have a dream, he seems to have seen something extremely terrifying. He was terrified and almost went insane. If he was just a little silly before, then after having that dream, he went completely insane."

"He's afraid of the dark and blood. He's so afraid to even sleep. He sits on the bed with his knees drawn up all night, not daring to close his eyes. If anyone tries to provoke him, like when the boss asks about the dream, Brother Luo will go crazy instantly. Even several strong adults can't hold him down. He frantically tries to escape. And once he escapes from home, he won't stop until he's completely exhausted and faints."

"When I was a child, I once peeked through the window at Luo Erge, who was hiding in the house having an attack. To be honest, I had never seen an adult so frightened by something... It was simply unbelievable."

"Hoo—" Song Jiale exhaled the breath he had inhaled.

The entire 602 dormitory room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Then, what happened next? What did Brother Luo see in his dream? Why was he so scared?" He Yifei asked anxiously.

He was completely engrossed in the conversation, even though he had previously been the most resistant one. After all, prying into such strange and mysterious secrets is an innate human instinct.

Song Jiale shook his head. "I don't know. Brother Luo won't say, he'd rather die than say. The big boss couldn't get anything out of him, and neither could the old witch. But... I've observed him closely. It seems that ever since then, Brother Luo has been very afraid of 'cracked things'."

"Something that's cracked?"

"A cracked water tank, torn curtains, walls with dry cracks, and the like."

"What's so scary about this?" He Yifei scratched his head, completely bewildered.

"I'm not Brother Luo, so I don't know either." Song Jiale lowered his head in thought, his expression also full of doubt. It seemed that this question had been bothering him for a long time.

Lin Yue touched her chin.

Although he was puzzled, his mind was more focused on the system's tasks.

From what we can see so far, the story Song Jiale told doesn't seem to have much to do with the night run mission.

However, this Brother Luo is quite intriguing.

A strange person who can avoid danger through dreams?

Perhaps I can find some time to meet him in the future.

"Does Brother Luo still live in the Huailou Street area?" Lin Yue asked.

"He's gone, Brother Luo, he's vanished." Song Jiale snapped out of his reverie, looking into his eyes and saying, "Note, not missing, but... vanished."
