Chapter 384: The Law of Prophecy
Lin smiled, and then said lightly: "Actually, it is difficult for me to describe to you how I did it, I can only say that my right eye sees the future." In the foreshadowing vision, I saw the number on the lock when I opened the box, so I naturally knew what the code was. With that, he handed the lockbox back to Nina.
Nina took the password box and began to move the password disk again, while An An watched the movements of Nina's hand and chatted with Lin casually: "In this case, your prediction should be quite accurate, why do you feel that you are restricted?" ”
"Although I can successfully foresee what the password of this box is, it doesn't mean that I know everything I want to know." Lin glanced at An An and said meaningfully.
An An was a little puzzled: "What do you mean by this?" Is there anything in this world that even the prophets don't know? For example, this war between the Highlands and the Celestial, can you foresee its outcome? ”
"I'll try!" As he spoke, Lin closed his eyes again and prophesied again.
Unlike the previous prophecy of the code, Lin took significantly longer to prophecy this time than the previous one, and although Lin didn't say anything explicitly, his face was obviously paler than before. It seems that the prophet's prophecy of consuming life is really not just a random fabrication.
An An looked at Lin's face, and a hint of worry appeared on his face; Nina stared at Lin's face even more, nervously unable to speak, and even accidentally knocked the lockbox to the ground.
After the prophecy ended, Lin's breathing became much faster than before, and even a lot of fine sweat oozed from his forehead.
"How did it turn out?" An An asked eagerly. It is not difficult to see from his tone that An An is actually quite nervous at the moment, and he is afraid that the answer he will get is not what he wants.
"No, I can't foresee the outcome of this battle." Lin shook his head, the expression on his face was rather helpless. He glanced up at An An and said with a wry smile: "You should be able to understand now, right?" I can't predict everything I want to know right now, and that's the limit of what I said about prophecy. In fact, prophets are not as omniscient and omnipotent as people think, and there are many things that I could not have foreseen. It's just that I can't see what kind of things I can foresee and what kind of things I can't know, and that's what I need to figure out the most. ”
I see.
An An showed a thoughtful expression.
At this time, Nina came to Lin with the password box in her arms, and said to him bitterly: "It's never too late to think about these esoteric questions in the future, now you should help me open this box first!" Just now, the box fell to the ground, and the password was broken, not to mention, and the box was covered in a panic. So now no one but you can know what the password is! ”
Lin took the secret box from Nina's hand and tried to open it again.
As a result, Lin was surprised to find that for some reason, this time he could no longer foresee the password on the lock!
When Lin told Nina and An An about his discovery, Nina's expression suddenly became bitter haha: "How is this possible? Is my material still in there? What should I do now? ”
Lin had no choice but to say, "It seems that you can only smash this box and get it." ”
Nina immediately stopped doing it: "How can that be done?" This is a very rare masterpiece, and it took me a lot of effort! ”
Lin spread his hands and said helplessly: "However, this is the fate of this box." I can't predict its code, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that the box must have been destroyed, and you smashed it yourself. ”
"This ......" Since the prophet Lin has said so, then Nina will no longer be too entangled. As the saying goes, long pain is better than short pain, she immediately lifted the lockbox, and then smashed it to the ground!
The box was unscathed.
Nina looked at Lin with a skeptical expression: "Isn't it broken?" ”
Lin said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, you have to smash it eleven times before it breaks." ”
Nina did the letter suspiciously, and found that it was really the same as Lin said, the box was really broken when it was smashed eleventh!
Seeing Nina pick up the fragments of the box from the ground with an unhappy face, An An felt quite puzzled, and he opened his mouth and said to Lin: "Since you can foresee the end of this box, why don't you know its password?" And didn't you succeed in your prediction before? Why not this time? ”
Lin thought about it seriously and said, "Although both times are the codes of the prophecy lock, in fact, the situation I am facing is not the same. When I first prophesied, Nina knew the code, which meant that even if I didn't open the box, someone else would open it. But at the time of the second prophecy, the password was broken so that no one knew what the password was. This may mean that I can't predict things that no one knows about now or in the future. ”
"But the outcome of the war between the highlands and the sky will not be known in the future, so why can't you predict the outcome of the war?" An An asked, and then fell into deep thought.
Lin shook his head: "I don't know either. But one thing is certain: there must be more than this limit in my prophecy, and there must be some other factors that are also limiting the scope of my prophecy, so I have to try a little more. ”
The expression on An An's face fluctuated a little: "...... Don't push yourself too hard, your health is not good, there is no need to predict some meaningless little things, it is not worth spending your life for these things! It's still better to pay more attention to your physical ......"
Lin smiled faintly: "But I have to figure out what my ability is earlier, right?" It is true that every prophecy I make makes me suffer, but everyone's fate is actually predestined as early as birth. You may not believe it, but I already know how long I have to live. ”
Listening to Lin's words, An An couldn't help but be stunned. The expression on his face instantly began to become complicated, and he was a little afraid to look at Lin's eyes: "You are really idle and panicked...... How can you think about such a boring thing? Isn't this self-inflicted unhappiness? ”
"I didn't deliberately want to know how long I would live, but I was just curious about what would happen on the continent for many years. Unfortunately, I found myself unable to foresee too far into the future. So I think the most distant day I can foresee is probably my end. Lin smiled faintly, there was no entanglement and reluctance in his eyes, some were just calm.
Perhaps death has long been downplayed by Lin, a person who has seen through the future.
