"I've heard about you from Mr. Lynch, so I guess we're indirectly acquainted with each other."
Although they had participated in two episodes together, they were always busy completing the missions that the production crew had assigned, and they would just make small talk when they met. It was rare for all five to gather and talk about their personal lives.
However, the livestream viewers were really into this type of content, always hoping to overhear some juicy tidbits.
Eddie, noticing the excitement in the livestream chat, asked, "Mr. Lynch was the one who previously gave Shannon a livestream gift, right? How do you two know each other?"
Shannon replied candidly, "Because of a few talismans."
She didn't explicitly state it, but everyone assumed that Windsong Monastery had sold the talismans to Shannon. After all, that was the most logical assumption.
With the topic already on the table, Eddie took over Percy's role and started hosting the livestream. Given his experience as a mystic arts streamer, Eddie was well-versed in the ins and outs of livestreaming and viewer interactions.
"A user by the name of Blue Ocean Bunny asked, 'Did you have prior knowledge about Soren's situation before the show, or did you only notice it during the recording? How did you spot it?'"
Juniper, the first to decline to participate in the show with Soren, responded candidly, "It was obvious at a glance. He carries a lot of karmic debt, and he's surrounded by negative energy and grudges."
Eddie, who hadn't seen through Soren's situation last time and was now hosting, wasn't in a rush to be in the spotlight. He turned to Shannon, inviting her to share her insights.
Shannon realized that Juniper hadn't seen the full extent of it, but with their conversation in the mirror world already public, there was no point in hiding it. "That's right. He was carrying the spirits of five young women at that time, so it was quite obvious."
"Do you possess spirit sight?" Juniper asked.
Shannon nodded and replied, "I guess you could say that."
Juniper had suspected this all along. Upon hearing Shannon's reply, he fixed her with a penetrating stare, his eyes revealing a trace of envy.
"Holy shit! Isn't this a mystic arts variety show? What's with the sudden dark romance trope?"
While Olivia and the rest were unfazed, Juniper, who was usually slow on the uptake, widened his eyes in disbelief when he saw the comments—he was completely dumbfounded.
His stunned expression had the other cast members in stitches.
After the hour-long interactive Q&A segment, Eddie, who had taken the reins as host, was clearly in his element. He ignored Percy, turned to the camera, and said, "And now, for our live assistance segment! We'll be conducting a raffle to select a viewer for this segment. Are you guys ready?"
Eddie continued, "Here we go! Our raffle countdown starts now! 3, 2, 1..."
Meanwhile, Percy was completely dumbfounded. Those were all the things he was supposed to say!
