The Whispering Verses Chapter 286: The power of surprise
"So, Shade, is this why you came to me?"
It was still a seemingly ordinary Saturday after the disaster, and it was already eleven o'clock in the morning. In the divination room on the second floor of the Prophet's Association on Silver Cross Avenue, Shade sat face to face with Luvia holding his well-behaved cat.
The association was very dark. The purple-eyed fortune teller had a teacup in front of him and held the fortune telling letter that Shade had just filled out at the front desk in his hand. He asked rather troubledly:
"Do you want me to emphasize it again? Shade, I already said it last time, your cat is really a normal cat."
"Meow!"
The soft orange cat squirmed happily in Shade's arms. It liked being held by Shade, especially when going out.
"No, Divination Mia is still an excuse."
Xia De, who looked a little troubled, shook his head.
"So what did you come to me for? I thought you would choose to go home and hide for a few hours after shooting the city's police chief."
Luvia joked and put down the page in her hand.
"Two things. The first thing is that the doctor asked me to inform you that the study session will be suspended for a week. As you know, the doctor's bulimia patient became a container for the evil god. Now the doctor is under investigation, so the study session will be suspended for a week. Pause."
Luvia nodded and brushed the strands of hair around her ears:
"I'm very happy that the doctor did not make any mistakes this time. It was indeed the right decision to let you follow him. Then go and inform others. Looking at your distressed expression just now, I thought you were going again. I know something like the evil god."
The Prophet Association is also very busy now. As an official ring magician organization that cooperates with the Church of the Five Gods, the Prophet Association is also involved in the investigation of the "Second Coming of the Evil God in the Summer of 1853 in the Universal Calendar" because they have The most and best soothsayer.
Luvia is very busy now. The association has given her some jobs that do not require her to appear in front of the Orthodox Church. She is much busier than Shade, who is nominally a detective but more like a "freelancer".
"Stop joking, Luvia. As you know, I had just left Queen Mary Street before meeting you."
"What, does killing make you feel guilty, or setting a fire makes you uncomfortable? Do you need me to comfort you?"
The purple-eyed fortune teller smiled and joked.
"Oh, Luvia, who do you think I am? Here's the thing..."
Shad waved his hand, took out [Origin and Balance] from his pocket, then knocked off the cat's outstretched paw, and mixed the cards into his Rhodes deck. After asking Luvia, who was confused, to help shuffle the cards, he tapped his fingers on the first card and then flipped it open. It was [Origin and Balance].
Luvia frowned:
"Have you met another ghost with a story?"
The fortune teller who had heard of the Moon Dance Festival cards asked, then shook his head and added:
"It's not a joke this time."
"I didn't meet a ghost, but suddenly I had this ability. And..."
He held [Origin and Balance] in his left hand, and the cards suddenly flew out from his fingertips, flying up and down in the room, and then drew infinite symbols around the two of them with difficult movements. Then it flew back to Shade's hands again. The whole process was very smooth, as if the cards themselves had intelligence:
"This is not about using a spell to move an object, but I have gained the ability to manipulate this card. It is like a physical instinct. I can control myself to raise my hands and feet, control my speech, and control The card moves everywhere."
The fortune teller looked at him hesitantly:
"Xia De, you actually found a way to use the All-Censure Impermanence card? How did you do it?"
"Of course not, I don't know what's going on...Listen, Luvia."
Shade looked at the purple-eyed fortune teller very seriously. The latter was looked at by Shade, his face turned red and he seemed a little embarrassed:
"You said."
She brushed the hair around her ears again. The cat placed on Shade's lap looked at the other person's hair and seemed to want to stretch out its paws to touch it.
"Luvia, what are the conditions for being chosen by 'Balance'?"
"Three conditions: understanding balance, possessing an artifact with the power of the ancient gods, and completing the hanging judgment ceremony of sacrificing the eyes."
She said softly, not knowing what Shade wanted to express.
Xia De asked again:
"So Thursday night, the night of the coming of the gods. Do you remember what the white-robed god, oh, my body did?"
"Of course I don't know, and I can't look directly at God. All I know is what you said, but your vagueness is too omitted."
The female fortune teller answered immediately.
"Okay then."
So Shade once again described his experience when he became a god, of course, using the third-person perspective. To sum up, the **** happened to have [Origin and Balance], a card with the power of the ancient god, on his body that night, and he made a completely satisfying decision "Pray to the ancient **** and voluntarily sacrifice an eye." In a state of hanging upside down, with a special Under the witness of the people of destiny, judge the enemies of fate fairly." Actions required:
"So, is it possible, I..."
After finishing speaking, Shade pointed to himself hesitantly and then pointed to the card.
Luvia shook her head and laughed:
"Impossible. One identity corresponds to only one chosen person. What's more, a person like you who comes from outside destiny can never be chosen... According to you, the person who is chosen The **** you summoned from the past used Impermanence and Balance. Maybe it was for this reason that you were able to borrow some of the power of this card."
But this is impossible, because Shade also used [Original Silver Moon]. He told his opinion to Luvia, who insisted that there was absolutely no way Shade would be the chosen one. Although the current situation cannot be explained, it must have nothing to do with the great prophecy of "The Whispering Psalms".
"You have also seen the power of the chosen one. What kind of power did Iluna gain? What kind of power did you gain? If the power of the chosen one is just to manipulate a card, can you believe it? Xia De, I think the reason why you are in your current situation is because your body was once a vessel for God to descend, so whatever happens is understandable."
Luvia stood up as she spoke, confirmed that Shade only had these things to ask, and prepared to leave:
"If you don't need me to divine the cat for you again, I'm leaving. We'll be very busy these days."
Shad also thinks Luvia’s statement is reasonable. He may be overthinking it, but he does have one more thing:
"Oh, I would also like to ask you to look up information about an old **** called [Yahua Gate] from the information of the Prophet Association. There is a book list here, all ancient books. If you have time, I can help I'll look for it."
So he handed over the translated book list. Of course, Shade did not forget that Miss Feliana and the others were still waiting for him in the Forest of Thousand Trees.
"No problem, once I find the information, I will send it to you directly."
"Goodbye then, Luvia, you leave first and I'll leave after I finish my tea."
"Goodbye, Shade, I wish you all the best today. Just to remind you, it is already the weekend of the third week of this month. Please don't forget, next week is exam week."
After saying that, he really left in a hurry.
