Chapter 75 Divination
The blinding light lasted for less than a second before everything returned to calm.
In the darkness, the pitch-black creature, which was biting half of a human body and looked like a fleshy tumor covered with fangs and whiskers, swayed slightly, like a startled fat cat that jumped up in fright, but was too fat to jump up.
The howling wind suddenly intensified, and a tall figure dressed in a dark blue robe rode the gale.
Seemingly sensing danger, the "tumor" covered in fangs and tentacles dragged the half-eaten corpse backward and rolled away, quickly disappearing into the shadows.
Boom!
A bolt of silvery-white lightning, as thick as a bucket, suddenly struck down.
The silvery-white CD player dispelled the surrounding darkness, revealing the "tumor" that had already half-hidden in shadow.
It interrupted its escape attempt.
At the same time, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the "tumor," splitting nearly a third of its body into black mist that scattered into the wind.
"Roar~~"
With a agonizing roar, the "tumor's" body rapidly collapsed, turning into a pool of flowing, dark shadow, ignoring the dense electric snakes darting around it as it sank into the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all that remained on the ground was the half-eaten, charred corpse struck by lightning.
Amidst the howling wind, the figure in mid-air landed on the ground. He wore a storm priest's robe embroidered with symbols such as waves, lightning, and storms. Ignoring the dense, crisscrossing electric snakes around him, he stepped closer to the half-charred body.
A few breaths later, a suppressed, cold snort drifted on the wind:
"Hmph, shadow creature... who's fighting these Aurora Society lunatics?"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, in Sirion's room, a sparkling crystal ball appeared out of thin air, then shattered with a snap, turning into fragments that disappeared into the air.
After completing the counter-occupation and counter-tracking interference, Sirion quickly put the "Peacekeeper" back into the metal box and added a spiritual wall to the outside of the iron box as a seal.
He certainly didn't want the negative effects of this gun to cause a fight to break out in his own home.
dong dong!
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Cyril turned to look at the door and asked, "What is it?"
Outside the door, Ha Wen's calm voice rang out: "It's nothing, I just came to check if you're home."
"Is it because of the commotion outside?" Xireen asked casually, then reassured her:
"Don't worry, I just saw lightning and strong winds. It must be the scapegoats from the Church of the Lord of Storms. They will handle things."
"Perhaps you'll see a news report about the gas explosion in the Tasok Daily tomorrow."
After a moment of silence, Ha Wen's deliberately relaxed laughter came from outside the door:
"I suddenly became curious about how many of the reported gas explosions were actually gas explosions."
Cyril pondered the question for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"I'm not sure, maybe 50/50. After all, battles between Extraordinary Beings aren't that common, and most low-sequence Extraordinary Beings can't create such a commotion."
"Yeah.:"
Outside the door, Havin murmured something, then shook his head to gather his thoughts, and instructed Sirion inside the room:
"Get some rest. My lab is all set up, and I'll be staying there for a long time. You'll have to take care of your own lunch and dinner each day."
Cyril: "You can rest assured about that. I won't mistreat myself when it comes to food."
Ha Wen: "Hmm."
Outside the door, the footsteps gradually faded away, followed by the sound of the door closing with a yelp.
After confirming that Havin had returned to his room, Sirien threw aside what he was clutching tightly in his hand. It was a blackened, eerie ear, soft and fleshy, as if it had just been cut off from a person.
This was something he had just casually pulled out of "Jacob's wallet," and it should belong to the body that had been gnawed down to only half, or to another person who had suddenly disappeared.
This thing is heavily contaminated; just holding it in his hand, he could hear a constant, inaudible murmur echoing in his ears.
Cyril guessed that this might be something corrupted by the "True Creator," and the ability of those two people to hide in the shadows seemed to fit the characteristics of a "hermit's" abilities.
After a moment's thought, he rummaged through a cabinet where miscellaneous items were stored and found a perfectly round fake crystal ball.
As a lover of the occult, Cyril had collected quite a few things in this field in the past, but most of them were useless fakes.
Like this crystal ball, it's not real crystal, but a cheap glass imitation.
However, props are not important to true "astrologers." They are merely the medium through which they use astrology. What truly determines success or failure is their own spirituality and inspiration.
With one hand holding the blackened, eerie ear and the other a perfectly round crystal ball made of glass, Cyril closed his eyes and softly recited the divination he wanted to perform.
In the glass crystal ball in his hand, pale blue starlight flickered from time to time, outlining symbolic patterns.
Soon, a corresponding image appeared in his mind, from the perspective of the person who possessed the eerie ear:
It was a completely black painting, from which the voice of a mature human woman could be heard:
"Do you want revenge? I know who caused the downfall of your Black Wolf Gang."
"I can help you find him and kill him, and all you need is your insignificant faith in return."
After a brief silence, he heard the voice of the person who had been speaking: "Why should I believe you?"
The blackness within the painting trembled slightly, and from within came the other party's unrestrained laughter:
"Haha, why don't you believe me? You have no reason to refuse."
"The next sequence after 'Hunter' is called 'Provocateur,' and I happen to know the potion recipe for 'Provocateur,' which is one of the reasons."
"You have been corrupted by that thing within you. If you do not want to continue hearing that mad voice, and do not want to die without knowing why, believing in my Lord is your only choice. This is the second reason."
"The person who caused the Black Wolf Society's downfall is also my enemy; that's the third reason."
"You can consider it, but I won't waste too much time on you."
After a moment of silence, the person viewing this perspective nodded solemnly and said:
"it is good."
A cheerful voice emanated from the dark scroll: "A correct decision."
Immediately afterwards, ripples spread across the surface of the scroll, and a woman from the plateau, with glamorous makeup and revealing clothing, stepped out of the scroll.
Cyril knew her, Zoira Hernandez, a minion corrupted by the "Higher Dimensional Overlookers".
The scene then shifts, and Cyril sees the person in this perspective following Zoira Hernandez to the south side of the bridge.
After making some preparations, they hid on the street corner diagonally opposite the Sirion's house, in the shadows where the streetlights couldn't reach, until they suddenly appeared, and a sharp, silvery hurricane destroyed everything around them.
Call ~
Letting out a long breath, Sirion looked down at the blackened, eerie ear in his hand. He roughly knew what it was.
And the identity of the other person hiding in the shadows.
A "listener" trait corrupted by the "true creator," that person is the leader of the Black Wolf Society, and also the Black Wolf at the gathering convened by the old man "Eye of Wisdom."
"Zoeira Hernandez actually found him. It seems she's investigating me. I need to get rid of this threat as soon as possible."
He muttered something under his breath, then found a palm-sized square iron box and sealed the blackened, eerie ear inside. Then, he took a glass (crossed out) crystal ball and tried to capture Zoira Hernandez's information.
He soon received a revelation from the spirit world, seeing details he had missed during the previous battle:
After he tricked Zoira Hernandez into giving up her scroll clone, she didn't reappear in the darkness. Instead, a dark scroll buried in the ground was activated, and a shadowy creature emerged from it.
Perhaps it was the "listener" trait of the black wolf that attracted it, or perhaps it was because it had lost Zoira Hernandez's control, but the shadowy creature that emerged from the dark scroll did not attack Sirion immediately, but instead pounced on the black wolf's body.
As for why Black Wolf carries this dangerous item with him, it's because of a deal between him and Zoira Hernandez, and he also intends to use this contaminated item as a special trump card.
"This makes sense, but it's also a coincidence. Is it a stroke of fate, or the script of the 'writer'?"
Cyril didn't know why, so he decided to put the exploration of the mirror world on the agenda.
