Viewers had grown almost ustomed to the sensation that “Ghostly Guidance” caused every time a neva episode aired,
trending immediately upon release.
Everyone thought the serial killer from the first episode was a one-off shocker, but this week’s installment threw another
curveball with a husband used of murdering his wife,Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Online, fans half-jokingly called the “Ghostly Guidance” production team the “Sherlock Holmes Squad” due to their knack for
unearthing dark secrets.
The live stream was still rolling, and the chat rooms and social media feeds were buzzing with
activity.
From the control room, Bagot couldn''t help but marvel at the skyrocketing viewer numbers and online buzz that far exceeded
their wildest expectations.
“This turnout is too good; we can’t cut the broadcast early,” he mused.
Back on the screen, the guests who hadpleted their tasks seemed much more rxed than before. Candace’s team had
abandoned their initial n to go it alone and joined forces with Winnie’s group, forming a lively procession.
Winnie stood at the edge of some dense foliage, holding freshly picked herbs. She approached the guests, handing them sprigs
of mint and wormwood, saying. “These leaves can keep the mosquitoes away when you''re outdoors.”
Then, pulling out a piece of dry bark, she added. “This is sycamore bark. If you can’t find any repellent nts, this will do ina
pinch. Light it up, let it smoke — it’s not too pungent and keeps the bugs away.”
Just half an hour earlier, they were all condemning a scumbag, and now here they were, as carefree as if they were on holiday,
volunteering outdoor survival tips.
Well, summer in the woods did mean lots of mosquitoes, and while Winnie had her own repellent charms, it wouldn’t do to
completely ignore thefort of the others.
As she mentioned fire, Winnie deliberately faced the camera to add, “But remember, when you''re in the wilderness, try to avoid
making fires, and if you do, extinguish them promptly. Especially in dry weather like this, it’s all too easy to start a wildfire.”
The audience hadn’t expected a paranormal show to turn into a public service announcement, but they loved watching all the
same.
“Man, Winnie knows so much, and to think she’s only eighteen — the youngest guest of them all!*
“| almost forgot she just graduated high school! She’s got such amanding presence: you could tell me she’s nine feet tall
and I''d believe it!”
Thements were a mix of amusement and admiration. The viewers were fascinated with

Winnie’s breadth of knowledge and urged her to share more, perhaps some esoteric trivia.
Bagot caught sight of a particrment and ryed the suggestion to Ned, the host, who seized the opportunity and
approached Winnie with a smile, “Hey Winnie, you seem to have a good grip on these things. Since we''re not in a rush, how
about you share some more of your wisdom with the audience? Maybe some mystic tidbits?”
The guests and viewers liked the idea, curious about the subject despite their skepticism.
Following a recent episode where Mervin demonstrated his charm—drawing skills, the inte had been abuzz with viewers
trying to replicate the talisman for fun.
Initially, “Ghostly Guidance” was meant to educate the audience on mystical practices, so when Ned pitched the idea, Winnie
simply nodded and led the cameraman to another bush, pointing
out a nt.
“Mervin should recognize this one,” she said, deftly passing the spotlight to him.
“What''s that?” Candace couldn’t contain her curiosity.
Winnie smiled but her voice remained serene, “This is Myrrh.”
The guests and viewers alike were puzzled, and many immediately searched online for an exnation, resulting in a flurry of
revtion andughter.
“So, our Mervin’s name is actually rted to Myrrh?”
“No wonder | thought the name sounded familiar — isn’t that a resin?”
Winnie, unfazed by themotion, calmly exined, “Myrrh has a long history of use as a perfume, incense, and medicine in
various cultures. For example, it''s mentioned in the Bible as one of the gifts brought to Jesus by the Wise Men. Myrrh is often
generally associated with suffering, sacrifice, and reverence in the context of the Bible”
The name Mervin, given by the Caretaker of Breeze Monastery, was a wish for him to learn to sacrifice himself to help others.
As Winnie spoke, she looked towards Mervin, who nodded in acknowledgment, his face tinged with a rare embarrassment.
“When my master found me as a child while foraging in the woods for a unique resin called Myrrh. That’s why I’ve got a simr
name.”
What he hadn’t anticipated was that Winnie would use this tidbit for an educational moment during her live stream.
Clearly, the audience in Winnie’s live stream room was captivated by her exnation and started buzzing with interest,
comments flooding in:
“That’s so interesting!”
“Wild to think that Mervin was actually picked up by a sage from the mountains. Feels like some kind of mystical destiny.”
