The streets lined with high-rise buildings are intricate, and if you are not familiar with this area, you may not be able to find your way out for half an hour.

It's no wonder that the mother of Guanbuzi chose to set up a stall in this kind of place back then, after all, it is an unlicensed operation, and it is also appropriate to hide from the chengguan......

After walking for another ten minutes or so, Mu Xiu returned to the familiar intersection.

Unlike the small alleys shrouded in the shadow of the buildings, the main road outside is illuminated by the sun's rays. Through the mirror reflection of the glass of the building next to it, it looks even brighter.

It's just that as dusk approaches, there are already a lot fewer pedestrians on the streets, but the city is already a little twilight, and Mu Xiu doesn't think it's strange.

But where is the Mother of the Cloth Watch? He couldn't help frowning slightly.

If there are two types of future vision in a general sense, "prediction" and "measurement"-

The former is to passively see the "future" based on information, while the latter is to subjectively imagine a certain outcome, and the future will determine how to act to achieve the "future".

However, the case of the Mother of the Cloth does not belong to either of the two.

This is because both "prediction" and "measurement" are special abilities that can be mastered through ultra-high-level algorithms. The view of the future held by the Mother of the Cloth does not belong to the third of the two.

- A true anomaly, an absolute vision, a terrifying prophet with a vision.

"I hope you're not trying to avoid me, or you'll get in a little trouble......"

Mu Xiu muttered to himself, and then carefully observed the streets in the afternoon, in fact, he was perceiving all the tracks in the space. Although there was no absolute future, it didn't matter, and the soothsayer was otherwise mortal.

Unless she is dead at this time, as long as she is still living on this planet, then there is no reason to avoid Mu Xiu's "sight".

This is a huge disparity in strength that cannot be changed, just like an ordinary person who clearly sees that in the next three days, the earth will explode directly. But because he is an ordinary person, he still can't do anything in the face of such a situation.

He couldn't leave Earth, and he couldn't stop that from happening, and in a way he was desperate.

"Found you—"

Mu Xiu seemed to have grasped the clue, and he walked into a nearby alley again, and then became so skilled that it was as if he had returned to his own home, as if he was strolling leisurely.

Soon, at the end of the narrow, dark, long road, a faint light was flickering there.

Ahead was the end of this cul-de-sac, and there was no way forward, and the soothsayer was sitting behind her desk in a heavy cloak waiting for the arrival of her guests.

"Huh? I thought I was a long-lost guest, but I missed it. ”

The soothsayer looked up and stared at the boy who had come from the alley with some confusion. She looked at it for a long time, thought back and forth several times, and finally said with a long sigh.

“……”

Mu Xiu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, but he had already been mentally prepared for this, so he didn't say anything, but sat down in front of the table very unceremoniously.

"Ahh

The soothsayer narrowed his eyes and looked at him, a woman who already looked very old, with a wrinkled face and gray temples. Even if he is given the Vision of God, he is still a mortal after all.

"Welcome. Would you like to drop by, little brother? ”

"Interesting, let's take a look......" Forcibly enduring some inexplicable anxiety in his heart, Mu Xiu exhaled a long breath and said with a very calm expression.

"Okay, please wait."

The soothsayer smiled softly, then looked at the crystal ball on the table with a serious smile. In the movements she repeated for an unknown amount of time, the traces of the years could be clearly seen.

“……”

“……”

Mu Xiu originally wanted to be quiet during this process, but after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but speak: "Anyway, when you see my appearance, it seems that you ...... Not surprised? ”

"No, I'm surprised, I'm not as calm as you think......

The soothsayer looked up and smiled softly, her somewhat gloomy eyes blinking, and then revealing a visceral surprise and smile.

That gentle smile, as if seeing something dazzling, and as if blessing the future.

“…… Is it? So what is it to be surprised? Mu Xiu whispered, "Is it because you saw an "acquaintance"? ”

"Aha...... "The soothsayer couldn't help laughing, "Acquaintance"? That's a really good word, but do you think that's the case, brother? ”

"Of course not." Mu Xiu replied in a cold tone, he didn't think that he was an acquaintance of the other party.

"Yes, little brother, this is only the first time you and I have met, so there is no need to be so entangled......" The soothsayer continued to laugh as she raised a hand and waved.

Even though it had happened one night two years ago, it felt like yesterday to her. It's just that the guest in front of me and the little brother that night are not the same person after all.

Mu Xiu didn't continue to speak, but just let his emotions restrain himself.

He felt that he might be a little too sensitive, in fact, there was no need to be so anxious at all, and the one who met the other party was Liangyi Ori, not himself.

He was Musiu, nothing else.

A minute of silence followed, and the soothsayer frowned slightly, she withdrew her gaze from the crystal ball, and looked up at the boy in front of her—

"Excuse me, can you show me your hand?"

Mu Xiu raised an eyebrow, but still calmly stretched out his left hand and placed it on the table in front of her.

“……”

“……”

"Excuse me......" Soon, however, the soothsayer repeated the previous sentence again, pursing the corners of her mouth with self-deprecation, as if with a tired sigh on her face.

- The expression seemed to be a wry smile, but the voice was low and weak.

Mu Xiu was slightly stunned for a moment.

“……”

“……”

"No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you don't have any ...... future," the soothsayer sighed, or was she sympathizing with him after seeing everything?

Mu Xiu frowned tightly, he wondered if he had heard it wrong: "I'm going to die?" ”

If it were an ordinary person who said that, he would definitely scoff at it and not care at all.

But the old woman in front of her is a soothsayer in the true sense of the word, and if it is information that comes out of her mouth, then it is unlikely that it is untargeted.

"No, I didn't mean that." The soothsayer sighed. "Although I have given this evaluation once before, these two times are different ......"

Speaking of this, she paused, obviously hesitating, but finally said in a voice that she was not sure of-

"You're not going to die, but...... You seem to be disappearing soon, and I'm not sure why. But your future is only until this winter, and after that there is nothing left, no future to speak of. ”

This year...... Winter?

The soothsayer bowed his head as if in a whispered prayer: "Again, I can't be sure...... Perhaps, you will gain everything and lose everything, and you are not ......"

Here she paused and took a deep breath, her voice sounding a little shaky—

"You...... Don't you already know? ”

Gain everything and lose everything?

Mu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then nodded lightly in a very small increment.

……

……

Dusk was soon over, and it was night.

The hospital was plunged into drowsy darkness.

In the night, which was as smooth as a lake standing deep in the mountains, I was quietly thinking about the two rituals of today's conversation with the life counselor on my hospital bed, when I suddenly heard the door of my hospital room opened.

Then a dull, slow footstep entered through the door, closing in on the hospital bed.

She sat up from the hospital bed, and wondered slightly, was it a nurse? No, it was past midnight, and I couldn't even hear footsteps walking in the hallway in the hospital.

With the faint rays of moonlight shining through the cracks in the curtains, the girl could see what was approaching her from the door.

Mankind...... No, only the shape is human. However, that should no longer be alive.

It was undoubtedly a dead man, and at this moment he spun around and was preparing to attack her, and she just watched the other man approach, and did not react.

“……！！”

The next moment, the cold palm wrapped around the neck of the two ceremonies, and the strength gradually increased as if he wanted to break her neck bone. The dead man wrangled her neck, and his stiff, wood-like fingers grabbed her throat.

The icy power continued to increase, like a pair of shrinking steel tongs.

- I can't breathe, and my throat is choked, so if I continue like this, my neck will be broken before I can breathe.

The pressure on her neck made Liang Li gasp for breath, but she didn't resist, just stared at the face of the dead man in front of her.

After all, isn't that exactly what she wants?

Because even if you live, there is no point, and even if you don't feel alive, you still have it, that's asceticism. So if you just get killed, that's not bad.

Holding her breath, the hands of the two ceremonies left the hands of the deceased, and she chose to give up, refusing even to resist subconsciously.

The power seems to be increasing little by little.

Although it hadn't actually elapsed for a few seconds, time seemed to be moving very slowly, like rubber.

The girl's eyes began to darken, and her consciousness began to blur. The skin on her neck finally cracked, and the blood that flowed out was the most sure proof that she was still alive.

Just die...... Just like Ori died...... Just throw away your life.

Wait, ditch ......?

This word suddenly forcibly pulled back the consciousness of the two rituals. Probably because she remembered the words of the life counselor in the morning, she suddenly had questions.

Is Weaving's death really meaningless? Did he die happily? Whatever the reason, he shouldn't think so, right?

Because...... Death is obviously so lonely and worthless.

Death is so dark and disgusting.

Death is more terrifying than anything else——!

“…… I'm sorry. ”

In an instant, the bodies of the two rituals seemed to be suddenly injected with vitality. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the deceased's wrist with both hands and kicked the opponent in the abdomen with one foot from below.

"I don't want to fall into that place again, I hate the thought of falling into that kind of place!"

If you don't want to die, it's clear what you should do.

Killing the other party before being killed, just thinking about it made the emptiness in her chest disappear. At the same time, all kinds of emotions have gradually faded.

The deceased was violently pushed away, and the two ceremonies stood up from their beds.

But the other party has staggered up again, after all, he is already a dead person, and no matter what damage his body suffers again, it is negligible.

It stretched out its bloodied hands again and grabbed the girl's neck.

In the unlit ward, the two rituals who were almost caught retreated. In the cramped room, she quickly crashed into the wall.

- Behind the window is the third floor.
