Chapter 1663 Interlaced in the occasion (eighteen)
In another corner to the west of Cairo's black market, there is an eerie twisted black room.
Outside the house, even the surrounding walls are made of special black brick walls. There is no flower or grass on the bare courtyard, only a cracked wasteland, which makes people doubt the existence value of this courtyard.
However, even if the courtyard does not plant flowers and plants, it still plays its unique role: to scare away the tourists passing by. This desolate courtyard set off this black house like a haunted haunted house, and coupled with the long and twisted steel spikes on the black wall, the horror piled up in the entire area is enough to stop most curious people.
But Rosetta, Queen of Gems, took Palamidis toward this strange black room, and she did it on purpose. The fortune teller she was looking for must live in this eerie black room.
Seeing this scene outside the house, the big cat not only did not feel afraid, but showed a bit of contempt in his heart. What about the fortune teller? Not to mention whether this so-called fortune-teller is real or fake, she arranged the house so mysteriously, so that she is obviously trying to make people believe in the truth of the fortune-telling, right? It all looks so fake.
Nevertheless, Palamides believes in Rosetta. In other words, he believed in Rosetta's "ability". If the opponent is a deceitful fortune-teller, Rosetta, the queen of gems, must be able to detect what is right.
...In other words, the fortune teller is the real thing, right? Do you really have divination ability, can you predict the future?
At this point, Big Cat remains skeptical. He still doesn't believe in superstitions like divination.
"I'll make it clear to you before I see the fortune teller." Rosetta walked to the door of the big house, and before knocking on the door, she lowered her voice and said to Palamidis: "I know you In doubting the authenticity of the divination, I also know that you will try to find a breakthrough in the process of divination to question the fortuneteller. But I tell you, all this is unnecessary. And the personality of the fortuneteller is very vengeful, If you annoy her, she will probably not help you with divination in the future. So I sincerely beg you here, don't ask anything or say anything after entering the house, and leave everything to me. Okay?"
"Uh... so..." Palamidis felt embarrassed. His nature is inherently stubborn, and if he sees something that upsets him, it's hard not to say it. If he was made aware of the fortune teller's obvious deceitful tactics, would he really have to keep silent?
"I know what you're thinking, but don't, really don't." Rosetta then pleaded again: "When it's all over, I'm sure you'll get the answers you want, and I promise, You won't be disappointed. So until then, please keep silent, okay?"
"Okay...I'll try..." Palamedis whispered.
"Do you want me to gag your mouth with something?" Of course Rosetta also noticed that the big cat's mouth was wrong, so she said jokingly.
"Better tie me up and put a muzzle on," Palamedis replied jokingly.
Rosetta shook her head sullenly, reached out and knocked on the door.
"The door is unlocked, come in." The moment he knocked on the door, there was a slightly vague voice from inside the room, as if the person had already noticed or expected the arrival of Rosetta and Palamides. visit.
"Interesting." Although he didn't say it, Palamides began to subconsciously resist every move of the fortune-teller, trying to find out the flaws in the other party.
If the door is not locked, it means that the other party can predict the future, knowing that Palamidis and Rosetta will come to her at this time? Obviously not. Maybe she never locks the door. Or maybe there were surveillance cameras secretly installed outside the courtyard of the house. When Palamidis and the others approached, the people in the house were already clear and the automatic door was unlocked.
When Rosetta pushed the door in, the big cat couldn't help covering her nose. A suffocating musty smell came from the old black mansion. But maybe it's actually not that serious, but the big cat's original sense of smell is strong, and the sense of smell after drinking is strengthened to a higher level than usual.
In the hall of the house is dark and gloomy, and there sits a woman who appears to be a middle-aged woman, but her face is hidden by a black velvet hood, and Palamidis cannot tell her. age.
"Sit down."
But the fortune-teller spoke very smoothly and slowly, and could even be said to be weak, like a dying old man. This convinced Palamidis that the fortune-teller must be very old.
You're all getting old, so you can rest assured, don't come here to fool around, okay? ------ Palamides' eyelids drooped halfway, subconsciously showing a look of contempt. Of course, he was given a stern look by Rosetta, the queen of gems.
"I know what you're here for, so I won't ask, long story short -- show me your hand." The fortuneteller spread one out towards Palamidis Her hands, her hands were wearing black silk socks, showing no flesh at all, still pretending to be mysterious.
"Uh, so you want to see my palmistry?" Palamides said with a funny face: "Is this palmistry really discernible? My hand is not a normal human hand, but a A cat's paw with a meatball?"
Rosetta gave Palamidis another vicious look. She was already going to stop the big cat before he said anything rude, just a little bit.
"It's not about palm reading. Just hand me your hand," said the fortune-teller.
The other party's statement is new. This is good, the big cat can't find any place to complain at all, and the other party asks him for cat claws with such a strong attitude, and Palamidis will not cooperate.
"Okay." Palamides handed over his right hand.
The fortune-teller took off his black stockings, revealing a white and tender jade hand, and suddenly grabbed the paw of Palamidis' big cat.
"Huh...?" The leopard warrior felt a little strange. No, the strangest thing is not the jade hand of the other party that is far from his age. If the hand is well cared for, the old man's hand can also be beautiful -- the strangest thing is actually, Palamidi Si suddenly felt a chill!
I am afraid that the coldness is not physical coldness, but more like a feeling of chilling the soul, a kind of mental pressure.
The slender hand the soothsayer used to grab Palamidis should have been weak, as an old woman should have; but after it grabbed Palamidis, the big cat But it felt as if it was tightly clamped by steel pliers! However, it also felt at least that, in fact, the fortune-teller didn't grab Palamidis's hand hard, just held it lightly?
Obviously it shouldn't be cold, but I feel cold. Even though it was only lightly grabbed, the big cat felt as if it was being clamped by steel pliers. Why is there such a big difference in spirit and reality?
...Is this, some kind of hypnotism?
The big cat is still hesitating whether to withdraw his hand or not, but the fortune-teller has come to a conclusion and let go of Palamidis' hand: "It's too late. The item you were looking for has been lost. , from one hand to another."
"Damn." Rosetta didn't even doubt the fortune-teller's words, just a low-pitched curse.
" But it's not too late, there's still the possibility of retrieving what you're looking for. Go south, the first person you meet along the way is to help you get back what you've lost key."
"Understood. Thank you, Granny Lenorman." Rosetta, Queen of Gems, rose from her chair. "Then it's an emergency, and I'm sorry to say goodbye."
"Well, goodbye?" Palamidis also rose from his chair. Although it is still a bit unclear, the big cat is actually very lucky to be able to get away from this old woman who pretends to be a ghost as soon as possible.
"Take a crystal from the table. You'll need it," added the fortune-teller, Granny Le Norman.
The leopard warrior is a little bit reluctant to listen to this charlatan fortune-teller. However, Rosetta, the queen of gems, turned and glared at Palamidis: "What are you doing? Granny Lenorman asked you to take a crystal, so you can take it. Since just now, the divination that my mother-in-law has done is based on you. As the center, the crystal must be held by you to be effective."
"But------" The big cat really couldn't believe how a tiny crystal would affect their next actions. If it's just a direction, it's not a big deal to follow it. After all, Palamides and the others have no clue, and they don't know where to start. However, the big cat believes that even this detail must be done according to the instructions of the fortune-teller~IndoMTL.com~ Taking this crystal is equivalent to him agreeing with the superstition of fortune-telling.
As a man, some things cannot be compromised.
"Just follow your mother-in-law's instructions. It's not just your problem." Rosetta said in a more serious tone. This is no longer a request, but some kind of command.
The big cat just woke up. If the ancient Neil is lost, it is equivalent to losing the African Heart hidden in the ancient Neil. And this ruby heart of Africa may be one of the important raw materials used by Daddy Sphinx to make some kind of weapons of mass destruction. If the gem falls into the hands of Sphinx, there may be thousands of them. People die because of it.
Palramidis knew that as a man, there were some things he couldn't compromise. But that was only when the scope of influence was limited to him alone. The responsibility would be much heavier if countless people died because of his stupid stubbornness. What Palamidis could not compromise, he must bow his head and compromise. What if his actions could prevent millions of deaths and make him superstitious once?
The big cat let out a long sigh, doing something he was extremely unwilling to do against his will. He picked up a small crystal stone from the table.
