After appearing, he glanced at the five people in front but couldn’t perceive any differences in their aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his eyebrows slightly and directly released his demonic power, trying to impact that so-called barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as the demonic power brushed against the barrier surrounding those five people, he suddenly seemed to sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pressure from a bloodline different from spiritual power made him shudder instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he withdrew all his probing without hesitation, and the entire fox became obedient,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That one, just that one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He randomly pointed to someone with a big afro who was crying their heart out, \"Her expression while crying seems the most genuine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elysia Xander: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The program team didn’t reveal the answer right away but marked with Cedric Wilder’s avatar and then signaled to the other guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second to guess was Diana Craig, the astrologer, who did a divination on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first divination yielded no result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second time, after changing the question, she finally got an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I can’t directly divine which is the correct guest, the hexagram shows my lucky spot today is in the southeast, so I guess it’s her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana Craig pointed to the afro on the far left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was Ariel Zimmerman. Ariel couldn’t use mystical means to judge, so she asked directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ran into a ghost on set before. Which of you knows what kind of ghost I encountered?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the question popped, only one person among the five visibly reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel immediately pointed to that person, \"I choose her! She must be Scarlett!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett knows she had been entangled with a Shadow Ghost before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was Amber Livingston’s turn, he was a bit dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he wanted to use the same method, this wouldn’t create a good show effect, so he could only switch directions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the height and appearance are the same, based on my understanding of that mysterious guest, her posture and aura are different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he pointed to the afro standing most upright on the far right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>John Dawn wasn’t familiar with Scarlett Jennings, so he could only choose one by the method of ’spot the difference’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was Lucienne Xander’s turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She directly used a talisman to probe, and unlike the others, she didn’t want to be in the same group as Scarlett Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after detecting nothing behind the barrier, Lucienne coldly said into the camera,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I choose none of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"I guess none of them are the correct guest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a one-in-five chance, she wouldn’t give Scarlett Jennings a chance to approach her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucienne’s unconventional choice caught everyone by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, the program team began to reveal the answers one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, it was the afro on the far left chosen by Diana Craig. When that person removed the headpiece, it was the wrong choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glint of surprise flashed in Diana Craig’s eyes, but she quickly gave a shy smile to the camera, \"Looks like my divination was wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then John Dawn, Ariel Zimmerman, Cedric Wilder, and Amber Livingston all chose incorrectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel was shocked, pointing at her chosen person, \"You’re not Scarlett, why did you react so much when I asked?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was a bit embarrassed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry, Ariel, I’m actually a fan of yours. Just hearing you’d encountered a ghost on set excited me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ariel Zimmerman: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alright then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others weren’t too surprised, but when the last afro was revealed, Amber Livingston was dumbfounded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, the previous choices were all female, why is the one I picked a guy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last man turned out to be Anthony Anson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smaller build, he had been pulled in unexpectedly by Scarlett Jennings, and now he looked at Amber Livingston expressionlessly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am a man, do you have a problem with that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amber Livingston certainly dared not have any problem. Although others didn’t know Anthony Anson, Amber did. This guy had connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly, everyone suddenly realized something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! All five have taken off their headpieces, and none of them are Scarlett Jennings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amber Livingston directly mentioned the mysterious guest Scarlett Jennings by name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests on set were all puzzled, but quickly, they all turned to look at Lucienne Xander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of those five were Scarlett Jennings, which means Lucienne guessed right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucienne Xander: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing everyone’s eyes of \"admiration and envy,\" Lucienne didn’t show a hint of joy for guessing the answer correctly; instead, she looked rather displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized she had been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the one who tricked her finally walked out leisurely from the back exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett Jennings looked directly at Lucienne Xander, a composed expression on her face with a slight curl at the corner of her mouth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations on guessing correctly; now the two of us will be grouped together.
