Chapter 138
Gwyn watched as the jerk coaxed Luna towards the entrance of his home, but she wasn’t about to let this sleazeball deceive anyone else.
She glanced up at the ceiling light. With a casual flick of her wrist, she sent a wave of spectral energy toward it.
With a sharp crack sound, the light bulb shattered to pieces.
Luna let out a shriek, her foot retreating from the threshold she had just crossed.
“Oh my gosh! What happened?” Luna cried out,
“It’s nothing, probably just a faulty bulb. I’ll turn on another light, don’t be scared.”
The man soothed her with his calm demeanor, flicking off the switch to the busted light and heading to the living room to switch on the track lighting.
The track lighting worked, which set a better mood. He thought to himself, beckoning Luna to come inside once again.
Relieved, Luna stepped in. But as soon as she did, the track lighting in the living room exploded with a pop!
“Ah!” Luna cried out again, hastily retreating from the room.
Even for someone who didn’t believe in ghosts or haunting, two light bulbs exploding in a row was downright spooky. Luna couldn’t help but feel afraid.
“Manuel, maybe I should just head out? Can you lend me a jacket to cover up, and I’ll just grab a cab home? I’ll wash it and get it back to you, okay?”
Her voice was sweet but tinged with fear.
Manuel, internally frustrated but realizing he wouldn’t get anywhere tonight, conceded, “Sure, it’s too dark to have you changing in here anyway. Wait here, I’ll grab you a coat.”
His forthright attitude earned him some favor in Luna’s eyes.
He wrapped the coat around her. With gentlemanly care, he escorted her to the front gate.
It wasn’t until she had left that Manuel returned to his apartment, his face clouding over with
irritation.
With a grumble, he pulled out a utility knife from his pocket and tossed it onto a side table, cursing under his breath, “Perfect timing for the light to go out, huh? If it wasn’t for that, she’d be in my bed by now!”
He grabbed a cold beer from the fridge, took a swig, and dialed the property management to give them an earful, venting his frustrations.
After hanging up, he sent a sweet voice message to someone saved as ‘dear Aisa‘ in his

contacts.
“Hey, babe, having fun on your trip? I miss you so much these days. Stay safe out there, okay?” All the while, Manuel was oblivious to Gwyn’s presence beside him. He just felt a chill in the air and was thankful he could save on air conditioning.
Gwyn remembered the instructions from Winnie and didn’t dare to make her presence known any further. She waited until Manuel went to bed before entering his dreams in her special
way.
It was a familiar routine for her.
Manuel woke up groggily in his dream to find a girl sitting at the edge of his bed.
He reached out to pull her towards him, but his hand grasped at nothing, and he woke up with a start.
Barely awake, Manuel turned his head and saw a girl lying next to him. He murmured. “Babe?” only to see the girl slowly turn her head towards him.
In the moonlight, he could see her clearly. There was just hair without a face!
Manuel woke up from the nightmare, his heart racing. He looked around his familiar room, thinking he was finally awake. But when he turned his head, he saw the girl lying next to him again, this time even closer..
Fear crawled up his spine and he felt like he was trapped in a cold tomb…
Three days after the premiere of Ghostly Guidance, the comment section had quieted down, but there were still inquiries about the next live broadcast.
Among these comments, a new one stood out..
A viewer thanked the ghost from the Henderson family, claiming she had been conned by a man. After watching the show, she decided to offer tribute to the ghost lady for some retribution. To her surprise, the con artist contacted her to return the money. Rumors were he had been haunted by a ghost in his dreams and was seeking help from a psychic.
Her conviction has aroused much curiosity among netizens.
On her Facebook, except for the news that she forwarded the comment, there is also a long article at the top, which was sent ten minutes ago.
In that article, she carefully told the story of being cheated by a love rat and how she saw the live broadcast and ran outside the Henderson Manor crying. Then, she received the news that the love rat paid back the money today.
Looking back on her previous posts, you could even turn over several more posts that cursed a love rat for not dying a natural death.
It looked like her experience was true.

However, there were still many people in the comment area who suspected that she was deliberately seeking attention for the show.
