Chapter 383 Fateful Divination
Chapter 383 Fateful Divination

"Hey, I was just kidding~" After whispering this in Hongzi's ear, I stepped back two steps and looked at Hongzi again.

"Although I don't know how much damage this side effect will cause me, it's just the amount I used this time, so it shouldn't have much of an impact, right? However... maybe in the future, if I need to use a large amount of this potion, I'll really need your help, Miss Hongzi~ For magicians like you, this side effect shouldn't affect you, right?"

"You!" Hongzi's face flushed with shame. Everything she had experienced today was the greatest humiliation she had experienced in the past decade.

"Let's talk about the demon world." I changed the subject.

"..."

"Oh? Are you still angry?" I looked at him unkindly.

"I can't tell you about the Demon Realm." Hongzi turned her head away stubbornly. "This is the oath we all mages swore. We must never let mortals know too much about the mysterious side, let alone the Demon Realm. I've told you so much today, and it's already my limit."

"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?" I spread my hands helplessly.

"That's not the question." Hongzi bit her lip and finally sighed. She raised her left hand and pulled open her collar. Below Hongzi's left clavicle, a dark purple five-star mark was faintly flickering. Around the star, there were veins that were similar to poison spreading outward.

"Curse? It's okay. You magicians are really cruel to yourselves." Looking at Hongzi's actions, I roughly understood the whole story. Once too much information is revealed in this regard, the curse with a surveillance effect will be activated. Once it breaks out, Hongzi will not be able to accept the consequences.

"Okay, I won't make it difficult for you. However, Miss Hongzi, you already know my secret. From my personal style point of view, I cannot keep you in this world." As I spoke, a purple light flashed in my hand, and a dagger suddenly appeared. As my fingers turned, the blade of the dagger continued to flash with cold light.

"You!" Hongzi's eyes narrowed a little.

"But... Actually, I still want to spare your life. Although you did want to kill me today." I changed the subject and continued, "I am very interested in the fruit of this Tana-something flower. Miss Hongzi, as the price of sparing your life this time, I hope you can continue to provide me with the potion of this fruit. Of course, I won't let you do it in vain. You can regard this as a deal to buy your life." As I spoke, I took out a white capsule from the necklace. Then I took a step forward and poked Hongzi's throat lightly with my finger. Hongzi coughed subconsciously and opened her mouth. At the same time, I put the capsule in my hand into Hongzi's mouth.

"Wuwuwu..cough cough!" Hongzi retched because of my actions. "Asshole, what did you give me to eat!"

"A chronic drug." I said calmly. "In order to ensure that we can maintain a good cooperative relationship, I need some bargaining chips."

"You! You bastard." Hongzi was angry but dared not say anything.

"Don't worry. This medicine can stay hidden for a very long time. People with poor constitutions may need a year, while people with better constitutions may not experience any effects for three to five years. However, you may catch a cold the next day after taking it. This is the process of the spread of the toxin. As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee that you will be fine." I smiled at Hongzi.

Of course, this is not a chronic drug, it is just a catalyst for the production of cold viruses in the antidote that Shiho made last time. To put it bluntly, it just makes people catch a cold, but Hongzi doesn't know that.

"Stop talking nonsense! I won't believe your lies. I'd rather die now than be enslaved and tortured by you!" Hongzi was furious. She was so proud that she had never been bullied like this before.

"Okay, okay, don't be so angry." I motioned to Hongzi to relax. "You are Kaito's classmate. To be honest, if you hadn't messed with me, we might not have had much contact. It's a pity that you like to play with fire and you accidentally played with it too much." I smiled and took out three purple daggers from the necklace.

"How about this, as Kaito's friend, I won't bully you. Including this time, you have troubled me three times in total. Three times, I didn't kill you three times. In other words, I gave you three chances. So you take these three daggers. From today on, we are still in a strategic partnership until we kill that killer spider. In addition to needing you to provide me with this potion, you only need to do three things for me when I need you. As long as you can complete these three things, our grievances will be forgiven. We can even continue to be strategic partners. How about this?" Give Hongzi a slap and a date. If she doesn't step down after giving Hongzi such a big step, then she should be shot.

"Do you think this fruit is cabbage?" Hongzi was dissatisfied. "The demon world has been fighting for this fruit. I only have this fruit because of my ancestors. Once I use it up, it's gone."

"Let's go grab some more." I raised my lip. "Besides, the demand for the potion I requested is not that large. Compared to regressing lifespan by 3,000 years in one go, this potion that lasts 10 or 30 years at a time can be used hundreds of times."

"You!" Hongzi stomped her feet in anger. This time, she really lost both the wife and the army.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

After forcibly completing this completely unreasonable transaction, I returned the staff to Hongzi. However, I kept the necklace with the magic shield. This should be a magic accessory, and there are no requirements for the user. Hongzi also told me how to use this shield out of helplessness. She didn't care about this thing, after all, she still had a lot. But she hoped that if I really use this one day, then the enemies who see this shield can be destroyed by me.

"By the way, Miss Hongzi, can I ask you another question?" After reaching an agreement with Hongzi, I put away the threat and turned into a unscrupulous and relaxed attitude.

"What else do you want to do?" Hongzi naturally couldn't change the subject like this. After all, from her perspective, there was still the chronic poison I had planted in her body.

"You seem to be quite good at divination. Can you tell me about this? I want to know my fate in the future."

“…” Hongzi looked at me with disgust.

"how?"

"I really don't understand what kind of person you are. One second you were threatening life and death, and the next second you are like this..."

"You can't hurt me. I'm not afraid of you." I said half-jokingly. "I have no ill will towards you. If you hadn't exposed my identity, I wouldn't have killed you, right? Now that you've brought out a potion that interests me, I don't want to kill you even more. You know, in the face of interests, enemies can become friends. What's more, before today, we were strategic partners, weren't we?"

"Aren't you afraid that I might poison you?"

"Unless you want to be buried with me." I smiled at Hongzi. "Let's just get along happily, what do you think?"

"Humph, I'm the only one doing things for you, and you're saying it so nicely." Hongzi grumbled in resentment. "To be honest, in order to deal with you, I once did a divination for you. However, I couldn't understand it, so I gave up." "You can't understand it?"

"...You were not a Japanese in your previous life, right?"

"Ok?"

"Because, the illusion I saw was this." As he spoke, Hongzi took out the crystal ball, took out his staff and recited a long spell to the crystal ball. Then, a dark golden handwriting appeared above the crystal ball.

"This is..." I couldn't help but squint my glasses as I stared at the obscure words above the crystal ball.

"It should be the ancient Chinese characters." Hongzi elaborated. "Plus your black hair and black eyes. You should have been Chinese in your previous life, right?"

"..."

Hongzi's question was not answered, because when she looked at the chilly man behind her, what she saw was a pair of black pupils concentrating on interpreting the obscure words.

There are eight lines of text, seven characters in each line, and the font looks like seal script. It is obviously something similar to doggerel.

"What's written on it?" Hongzi probably couldn't understand the words, otherwise she wouldn't have asked me this question.

I glanced at her sideways, remembering that she was at least the initiator of this divination. After thinking for a moment, I still wanted to hear what she had to say.

"It's something like a limerick," I began to read.

The evil spirits fall and their souls return.
The sudden appearance of demonic light foreshadows natural disasters.

The descending soul poison repairs the body,
The world falls back into light and my heart is in turmoil.

The bloody city finally flows and sits,

It’s sad to be involved in youth.

The common people do not want the wind to blow the catkins.
Dome space-time moon travel haze.

"This..." Hongzi frowned. Judging from her appearance, she probably didn't understand it at all. However, relatively speaking, I was able to interpret a lot of the meaning of this poem.

The evil spirit died and came back, which should be about my past life. In my past life, I was a killer, so it was understandable to be called an evil spirit. This first sentence should be talking about here.

The sudden appearance of the magic light and the foreshadowing of natural disasters must be referring to the time when I was six years old and was accidentally kidnapped into the organization and once again became a killer. The magic light, which was originally a profession from my previous life, appeared again. Natural disasters, ha, maybe it refers to the FBI incident? But think about it carefully. During the time in the organization, I did kill a lot of people, so it seems nothing wrong to be called a natural disaster.

The Gu that lowers the soul and repairs the body, Gu means medicine. The Gu that lowers the soul is probably referring to APTX4869, and repairing the body, needless to say, it must be referring to my shrinking.

The world is falling and the light is returning, and my heart is in turmoil. The world is falling, and I have found my place in this world. When I return to the light, I feel in turmoil. Oh, of course I will feel in turmoil, after all, I think of my family members, those people who are worth my turmoil.

The Bloody City is where Jingliu finally sits. The Bloody City, I think it should be referring to Alcatraz, haha, after all, Jingliu is sitting there now.

It is hard to be sad when I touch my youth. Does it mean that on this road of my youth, do I have to stumble with Xiao Ai? No, maybe this "sorrow" does not mean this. If the first few sentences are talking about what I know, then the following three sentences should be about the current situation and future things.

The common people do not want the wind to blow catkins, and the moon to move haze in the dome of time and space. In fact, each sentence has some key points. If you savor it carefully, you can indeed find clues. (I won’t tell you even if I know it, I’ll leave it for you to guess.)
"Oh, it does explain my current situation." Subconsciously, I rubbed my nose. This doggerel is indeed my divination. And... it's quite accurate.

"Of course, you don't even look at whose divination it is." Hongzi looked proud.

"But... I am a little concerned."

"Care?" Hongzi asked, and then said with an unhappy look on his face, "Don't doubt my divination skills."

"Ah, no, I'm not doubting you." I waved my hand. "It's just... this divination is far from as simple as it seems."

"What do you mean?"

"Haha, you may not understand even if I tell you, but I can understand it." After saying that, I focused my eyes on the first word of the poem. If this doggerel poem describes my future journey, then this obscure word may be the embodiment of my destiny.

"Oh, what a simple and direct sentence of fate." I couldn't help but shake my head and softly recited the eight words that made me frown.

"The devil has come to the world, and the sky is stained with blood."

　This is the amount for next week. I'll post it first. I recommend the monthly ticket for March. If you have money, please go and take a look~
　　Because many readers said they want to watch the sixth movie, so I'll put the main storyline aside for now, and start with The Phantom of Baker Street, and then do something else. That's it, good night~
