Chapter 441: Divination
Yulia walked deep in the moonlit alley.
The peculiar smell of incense caught her attention.
It smells very complex. It seems to have at least elements of sage, mandarin orange and clove.
A store that sells incense?
It would be good to buy it and put it in the study room...it would be easier to calm down after smelling such a good smell.
Yulia likes reading very much.
Therefore, after thinking of this, she immediately took steps towards the place where the fragrance came from.
That was a wonderful stall.
The whole place is covered with purple curtains. Customers who want to buy something must sit on a stool directly in front of the shop to meet the shop owner. Otherwise, the boss's head will seem to disappear, completely cut off by the drooping curtain.
It's really a very inconvenient design.
Yulia was half expecting this to be a headless ghost selling incense.
But when she actually sat down, she was disappointed to see that the shop owner was just an ordinary woman.
Having said that, this woman's face really caught Yulia's attention.
Her face was buried in the hood that was pulled down quite low, to the extent that it affected her vision.
Yulia even doubted whether the woman could see what the guest looked like.
"Ah...welcome, miss." The boss chuckled slightly and raised her head slightly, but still couldn't let anyone see her eyes: "Well...this face...hehehe, it's really nice."
"Uh, thank you." When Yulia heard her praising herself, she pulled her hair nervously with her hands, feeling a little shy: "But I'm not that good-looking either."
"No, no, I'm not judging your beauty. What I just said is that you have a very interesting fate, my guest... Meeting you here tonight must be the guidance of fate, right? Don't let me divination.
It’s such a pity... So, do you want to come? I can make an exception and give you a free peek at the scenery of the Fog of Destiny?"
"What are you talking about?" Yulia looked at the furnishings around her in confusion, and found that there was indeed a crystal ball placed on a thick cushion: "Uh, are you a fortune teller? Not an incense seller.
?”
"No. The incense is just an auxiliary product to help me enter the state." The fortune teller said softly while covering the crystal ball with his hands.
Under the glimmer of light, a gray mist instantly rolled out from the center of the ball, quickly filling the interior of the ball.
You can vaguely see some kind of twisting image in the center of the fog.
But it is extremely blurry and continues to transform into various shapes.
For a moment, Yulia thought she saw herself in the ball.
However, after she came back to her senses, she still felt that it was just an illusion.
At most, it was just something that looked like a human figure. It was the psychological suggestion caused by the nervousness that made her feel that this thing looked very similar to herself.
Yulia: "What do you mean when you say my fate is interesting?"
Fortune teller: "Hahaha... Since you want to know, then you will naturally understand through divination."
Yulia: "...You say that to everyone, right? That's why you can trick them into divination."
Fortune teller: "Oh, this is really unfair. If I lied to you, then why do you have to divine for free?"
When Yulia heard this, she was speechless for a moment.
She didn't seem to have any objections, so the fortune teller nodded with a smile and continued to explain.
"Let me first explain to you what it means to peek into the mist of fate."
"The future of each of us is like sitting on a train traveling in thick fog, full of uncertainty. The thick fog that cannot be seen through outside must make people feel confused and scared, right?"
"Generally speaking, this layer of fog cannot be seen through. Before arriving at a certain place, you can only guess at most, but you can't really know what the scenery there is like."
"But a person with special talents like me can temporarily dispel the fog of a certain place and get a glimpse of the scenery there..."
"...Okay, now, let me take a look at yours."
"Miss, please tell me your name."
"You can predict the future, but you can't guess my name?" Yulia still looked wary and asked this question that she couldn't figure out.
"A diviner is not omnipotent. A name is a necessary condition. But it is all that is needed."
Although Yulia was dubious, she still told her her name.
After that, the fortune teller began to cast spells on the crystal ball, shrouded in smoke and incense.
As she chanted in a low voice, the smoke in the crystal ball began to glow with purple light.
A vague ball of light appeared in the center of the ball. The fortune teller stared down at it, stopped reciting the incantation, and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until the halo disappeared that she turned her gaze to Yulia again and spoke slowly.
"Ah... I saw it. Your fate... is indeed very interesting. But it is also quite cruel... maybe it is better not to tell you."
"Are you kidding me?" Yulia shouted after hearing this: "Don't keep it secret now! Tell me quickly!"
"Are you sure you want to listen?" The fortune teller smiled, and his eyes under the hood seemed to be staring at Yulia: "I have already warned you. I don't know if this kind of thing will be easier."
"If you really think so, just don't mention it at all! Just say nothing special about it! Since you have already mentioned it, of course I want to hear it! How can I not care about you being so pretentious!"
"...If you insist on listening, then I will tell you." The fortune teller said this, and his tone became serious: "Your fate is extremely tragic... you will be imprisoned in chains and loneliness forever.
The land of man. Until this world comes to an end, there will be no rest.”
"...How is this possible?" Yulia heard this. Although she was a little nervous, she still didn't take it seriously: "The end of the world, it's so absurd! Besides, I'm just an ordinary human being, no matter what, I will die of old age?
"
Fortune teller: "Hahaha... Do you want an explanation? It's a pity. This fate is so weird, and I can't understand why it happens. I'm just telling you everything I saw. Other than that,
Please forgive me for not being able to give you any help."
Yulia: "Are you so intimidating to everyone? When they are afraid, you will sell some expensive props that can avoid disasters, right?"
Fortune teller: "Ah... Miss Yulia, there are indeed many liars who do this. So I never do such things that can cause misunderstanding. In fact, it is a pity. The fate I see is absolute.
