Chapter 91: Candle Divination

After enjoying the warm Earl Grey tea and the sweet doughnuts, Yi Annie was about to start the car, but the mobile phone she threw on the passenger seat lit up again, and the next moment, the slow response of the phone rang and finally came out, and the caller ID on the screen was Catherine's name.

Yi Annie reached out to pick up the phone, but for some reason she was startled by the second ringtone that rang in succession, and the phone almost fell off. Then, the third ringtone, she finally held the phone steady and pressed the answer button.

"Anne, do you want divination?" Catherine on the other end of the phone went straight in.

Yi Anne was stunned, from the first time when Catherine in the editorial department did a divination for her, the tone of asking if she wanted to do a divination was still a little inquiring, and this time, although it was still a question, it had a sense of command.

"Catherine, what's wrong?" Anne had spoken to Catherine on the phone only in the morning, and she hadn't mentioned divination at that time, so why did she suddenly call to inquire about it at this time.

"Anne, do your own divination tonight, and I'll tell you how to do it." Catherine's voice was a little tense, no longer the usual feeling of not caring about anything.

Anne continued to ask, "Catherine, is something wrong?" ”

Catherine did not answer Iannie's question, but only explained the way Iannie could do divination herself, the form of divination was relatively simple, and the results of divination would be very clear.

When she had said this, Catherine said, "You must complete this divination by twelve o'clock tonight!" ”

Then, the phone hung up.

Anne was a little puzzled and always felt that there was something strange about this, but when the phone was called, Catherine did not hang up or turn off, but she never picked up the phone again.

After a moment's thought, Anne started the car and continued on the highway, intending to ask Inferno what he meant first, and see what he had to suggest about it. In addition, Catherine told Iannie that her way of doing divination is very simple, and the materials are easy to find, and if she really needs to do divination, Iannie can do it at any time.

In less than 20 minutes on the highway, Iannie arrived at Inferno's estate.

The gate of the manor was closed, except for a few headlights at the door and on the beach, the rest of the house was black, and there was a dead silence.

Yi Annie got out of the car and rang the doorbell, and no one responded for a long time, which is really a bit strange.

Pushing the gate, but it was not locked, Yi Annie pushed the gate open with her own hands, drove the car into the door, and then turned around and closed the gate.

She had planned to drive the car directly to the garage of the mansion, but the car turned off in the middle of the drive, and stopped right in front of the cabin where she had been staying. Yi Annie, who has experienced too many mysterious incidents recently, suddenly became alert, but she didn't know whether the purpose of the car turning off on its own was to prevent her from going to the mansion, or whether she wanted her to go to the cabin where she was staying.

Iannie pulled on the handbrake on the car, sat in the car, and started calling Inferno.

I tried several times on the phone of the mansion and the private number of Inferno, but no one answered.

In this place where there is no shop in front of the village and behind the village, it is difficult to walk without a car, and even if Yi Annie wants to run away, it will probably be too late. Therefore, Anne finally decided to get out of the car and enter the cabin.

The door of the hut was unlocked, and after opening the door and entering, Yi Annie fumbled with the switch next to the door and tried it, but the light did not come on.

The lights at the gate and by the sea are obviously not in the same line as the lights here, maybe it's just that the mansion has a power outage, Anne comforted herself. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, given that the phone call to the mansion before did not show a disconnection or anything like that, it doesn't look like a power outage.

Turning on the phone's lighting, Iannie rummaged through the hut and soon found candles and lighters. In a remote province like Nuo Province, where there is a strong wind and heavy rain, there will be a large-scale power outage, these things are really a must-have for every household.

Then, from the Xiaoice box that stopped working, Yi Annie found a small bottle of lemon juice packed like a Turkish grenade, which is almost a must in the seafood province of Nou, but in most cases it should have fresh lemons.

Seeing that Catherine had all the materials needed for divination, Anne laid them out on the table and fell into deep thought.

After a while of fighting between heaven and man, Yi Annie finally made up her mind, took out a small brush from her makeup bag, brushed the hair on the brush head, dipped it in lemon juice, and then casually pulled a piece of paper from the table and began to write and draw on it.

This is exactly what Catherine explained about candle divination.

Draw a circle about the size of a candle in the middle of the paper, and draw a short line at a 45-degree angle at the top, bottom, left, right, and right, and beyond the short line are E (East), W (West), S (South), N (North), SE (Southeast), SW (Southwest), NE (Northeast), and NW (Northwest).

After drawing, while waiting for the lemon juice to dry, I used the guide on the map on my phone to adjust the paper so that the direction of the previous abbreviation matched the real direction.

Then, picking a small candle that had not been used, Yi Annie also checked the packaging of the candle by the way, which showed that the candle could only burn for half an hour. Looking at the time on my phone, it's almost half past eleven, and if I start now, I can barely make this divination end before 12 o'clock.

Before finally lighting the candle, Anne got up and walked around the room to make sure that the doors and windows were closed, and that under normal circumstances, there would be no serious drafts affecting the candle's flame.

When everything was ready, Anne lit the candle by placing it in the center of the paper that had been oriented with lemon juice.

There are many different forms of reading for candle divination, and reading the flame of the candle burning is the most common way.

According to Catherine's general explanation, if the candle flame is stable, it means that everything will go well next; If the candle flame blooms like a flower when it burns, it means that the next thing will be supported by the gods, and all wishes will be accepted; If the candle flame is tilted in one direction when it burns, there is still some accident waiting to be dealt with; And the worst thing is that the candle flame is extinguished by wax oil, which basically represents a desperate ending.

In addition to reading the candle flame, candle divination can also be done by using a figure composed of low wax oil, using white paper to print smoke rising above the flame, or using a candle flame to light a piece of paper with divination words written on it, and so on.

But since Catherine was not present, it was up to Anne to use the simplest way of divination herself.
