    🔥 "The Divine Fortune Teller" A Soul Lost at the Crossroads, a Night of Separation Between Humans and Ghosts🔥 "Do you believe a 'soul' can get lost?" At thirteen, I had a persistent high fever, and all the hospitals couldn't find the cause. My grandfather, a fortune teller, predicted with just one glance: "The child's three souls and seven spirits are lost at the crossroads." 🌑That night at midnight, he carried a knife-cut piece of meat and a soul-summoning banner into the forbidden place—Yellow paper curled into ash in the fire, and incense and candles illuminated countless blurry figures in the mist. The moment my grandfather sternly called out my birth date and time, a cold wind suddenly swept away all the ashes. The next day, my illness miraculously disappeared. But my grandfather said this was just the beginning... ⚠️The villagers all said that summoning a soul at the crossroads would bring back "extra things." After that night, I always saw a red-clad figure in the mirror, heard the sound of fingernails scraping against the bed in my dreams, and my grandfather's fortune-telling shop... Began to echo with the cries of strangers every night. #SupernaturalSerial#FolkHorror#SuspenseThriller Folk arts hide deadly consequences; are those summoned living souls or vengeful ghosts from centuries past?
