However, the question is, if this divination house is really so effective, why is it located in such a remote place?
For people with this ability, it should be difficult for them not to make a fortune.
"It's not troublesome... In other words, your divination results are very accurate, and I have benefited a lot from it."
The old man smiled and said, "That's good."
"Can I take advantage of it again? For example, the future fortune and so on..." Shi Dong thought about it and asked again.
The other party stared at him for a moment, then shook his head, "I can feel that you no longer have any immediate worries. And once you lose this, blind divination will only bring blind results. In addition, I must remind you, child
…Prayer always comes with a price, which is like a snowball. Everyone can afford it at first, but when it gets bigger, not everyone can get out.”
Also... I don't need to think so much.
Shi Dong suppressed all the thoughts that surged in his heart and let out a long breath. Whether it was a coincidence or a real thing, the other party was equivalent to helping him. In a sense, the old man was his sister's lifesaver.
My benefactor, he cannot and should not speculate on the bad side.
Shi Dong reached into his pocket and placed three silver coins on the low table.
"This is the fee."
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing that has not been completed." The old man stopped him, turned around and took out a piece of tissue paper. "We have agreed that the divination needs to be completed in the form of a contract. Only when you complete your signature can this matter be completed.
Forget it."
"Hey, there's no way I can use my name and seal on this thing." Stone frowned - the other party did mention a similar request during the divination before, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He didn't come out to ask for help.
Is it just for a word of money? Everything is easy to say once the money is in place, how can there be so many rules. "How about paying one more to the Selier Head Office?"
"What is agreed upon is what it is, and the contract cannot be changed." Unexpectedly, the old man directly rejected his proposal, "Of course, I can also understand your concerns, so the signature does not have to be written down or stamped with a seal, as long as
You mean it sincerely, any mark will do, including your fingerprints, items you carry with you, or even a hair."
Is this person perhaps crazy and would rather trade silver coins for his hair?
Since there is no need to sign, Shi Dong is too lazy to say anything else. He plucks out a piece of hair, sticks it on the tissue paper, and reads the last sentence, "The contract is completed. Is that okay?"
The old man looked satisfied and said, "The contract is completed."
Stone didn't want to stay for a moment longer. He stood up, bent over and walked out of the shack. The moment the curtain was lowered, he felt an invisible pressure disappear. Even the air in the West Block seemed to smell much better.
.At the same time, a sense of fatigue also hit his heart, causing his steps to lose their former stability.
Hope I will never come back here again.
He took a deep look at the sign on the shack and walked toward the city wall.
…
"Huh, is this the feeling of wishing back? It's too fragrant..." Chaoyang closed his eyes, feeling the heat in his body, and couldn't help but sigh. This experience is like a person who has been hungry for seven or eight days.
People can taste delicious food again, and they don’t need to worry about being stuffed to death.
Unfortunately, the weight of this prayer was not great, and the surging heat quickly subsided. Although it relieved the urgent need, after deducting various expenses, it is estimated that it is only enough to sustain life for less than half a month, and it is far from the point of sitting back and relaxing.
.
"We have to continue looking for customers." He licked his lips and murmured in a low voice.
Chaoyang himself finds it hard to believe that a month ago he was just one of the tens of thousands of migrant workers, and now he has become a "devil" who straddles two worlds.
All the incredible changes came from the morning when he woke up.
That's right, he awakened and became a demon. According to legend, a species relies on the power of wishes to survive. Just like a mammal cub automatically looking for breast milk, he also understood the key to his survival at that moment.
That is to find people with urgent desires, fulfill their wishes, and collect their souls—or the power contained in their souls.
Then Chaoyang discovered that the world he was in... no longer had such a thing.
Obviously, the Eastern temples were still overcrowded, and there was an endless stream of worshipers from the West, but he just couldn't draw a single ounce of will power. This situation is not to say that it is despairing, but at least it is despairing.
Of course, it's not nothing at all.
For example, when making a child's birthday wish, or looking for the owner of a lost cat or dog, he can still occasionally catch the glimmer of wish power. But this feedback is not even a mosquito leg, and it cannot change the situation at all, or even fulfill the wish.
May you consume more in the process than you gain.
A demon without the power of will will gradually decline and eventually die. To outsiders, it looks like it is suffering from an unknown terminal disease.
What's even more frightening is that he still can't refuse this shock.
At the moment of awakening, Chaoyang also knew the essence of the devil's bloodline - it does not rely on blood inheritance and awakens randomly, just like buying a lottery ticket. It runs through human history, both ancient and modern, at home and abroad, perhaps when humans have the concept of prayer,
It has already appeared.
During this month, Chaoyang quit his job and wandered around the world, just trying to find a petitioner with powerful wishes, or find someone of the same kind.
But the result was disappointing. He couldn't find either of them, and his body became weaker and weaker.
It is not difficult to infer that all the unlucky people who awakened as demons died.
Just when Chaoyang thought that he would follow in the same footsteps, an unexpected opportunity appeared - the Eye of Lingxi did not lead him to find the same kind, but instead discovered a strange crack. With the idea that he would die anyway, he used all his strength
The power passed through the rift and came to this magical place called Brilliant Castle.
... Chaoyang got out of the shack through the back door.
The moment he left the divination room, his age and thinness quickly receded from his body, like a layer of skin. Within a few seconds, he became a completely different person.
Of course, even if he changes into the appearance of a young man, he is not his original appearance. Chaoyang knows that the more concealed his identity is, the better. After all, he is a 100% outsider to this unknown world, and he should maintain his integrity in everything he does.
Be cautious. Besides, he has something more fearful than his identity——
Chaoyang walked out of the street and looked up towards the city.
Under the vision of the Eye of Lingxi, countless light pillars shot up from the city, reaching into the sky like pillars. They were of different colors, some were blue like ribbons, and some were red like sunset.
That is the wonder created by the power of will.
It makes the city shine. Even without the flashing neon lights, the Glory Castle is more dazzling than the big cities he is familiar with.
You know, what you see most in the morning sun on the other side of the crack is dark gray, as if the whole world is surrounded by cold concrete.
It's a pity...he can't take all these tempting powers as his own.
