Episode 131 The Fortune Teller
Kyoto is a bustling metropolis with numerous high-rise buildings that form a forest of concrete and steel bars. They're like oversized heaters that keep the city heating up.
Under the blazing white sunlight, every qiē in the city is distorted little by little.
Maalubelli suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at the busy street not far behind her, and she felt as if she was in a dream.
Only an alley less than three meters wide is left between the two high-rise buildings, and the high floors block the harsh sunlight, making the alley look a little dark. The shadows of the building overlap at the entrance, like a dividing line, with heat and noise on one side and chilling silence on the other.
It's the weekend, and in such a hot weather, Maailubelli was going to stay at school and read, but Usami Renko pulled her here.
No reason was given.
Ever since he came back from visiting the ruined shrine, he's become more obsessed with exploring paranormal events, and lately he's been wandering around the city alone.
"Hey, Lianzi, what are you doing here?"
Maalubelli stopped, leaning against the wall and gasping softly.
Thinking of what her companion kept muttering in her ear, she couldn't help but hesitate, it seemed that she really needed to buy a car.
Although she has also been running with Mae Lubeli for so long, Usami Renko's spirit is very good. Unlike someone who squatted in the library all day long, she worked hard every day.
Hearing the call of a friend, Usami, who was looking around in the alley, quickly ran back.
"Is there anything you want to do with me? ”
"I mean, what are you bringing me here for?"
Maai Lubelli asked as she took out a tissue and wiped her sweat.
"Actually, I've heard that there seems to be a very good soothsayer in the area, so I wanted to come and see it. ”
Usami Renko took the tissue handed by the other party and wiped the sweat from her face.
"Fortune teller?"
The girl blinked, this is quite novel, in this society, is there still this kind of guy who predicts the future for other people?
"It can't be a lie, right?"
"Who knows!"
Usa shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly when she saw Renko.
"So it's up to us to verify it ourselves. ”
Divination is also a kind of supernatural phenomenon, there is no reason not to look at it if you know it, then their "secret seal club" will be a bit wasteful.
However, if it was really a lie, she didn't mind exposing the other party on the spot.
"Ah, really, I get carried away with excitement when I encounter something like this. ”
Watching Usami Renzi tiptoe down the alley, Maaru Belle sighed and followed her.
Usa saw that Renko's information was correct, and it didn't take long for them to find the legendary guy who had the future of divining others. Similar to what you see in the movie, the soothsayer is wearing a black cloak all over her body, and the whole person is hidden in the shadow of the building, if it weren't for a table in front of her, I'm afraid that even if someone passes by, there will be no way to find her.
Usa saw that Renko narrowed her eyes and stared at this soothsayer for a long time, but she couldn't see the other party's face clearly. She exudes a mysterious aura all over her body, which makes people feel unfathomable when they see it.
"Foolish guy. ”
She leaned over and whispered to her companion.
"Shh......h
Maa Lubelle glared at her, this guy, what if what the other party heard?
"Is it a trick, or is it real, won't you know if you try it?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
The two members of the "Secret Seal Club" couldn't help but cough loudly, and Usami Renzi's words were really heard by the other party.
However, listening to the voice, it should be a woman.
"She can hear such a whisper, it doesn't seem to be a lie!"
"You still say. ”
The two girls pushed and shoved and walked to the front of the table.
"What do you two want to know?"
A pair of slender white hands reached out and hugged the huge crystal ball placed on the table.
Looking at those delicate hands, Mai Lubeli and Usami Renko were sure of one more thing, this soothsayer didn't seem to be very old!
"I'll come on, I'll come on. ”
Afraid that his companions would take the lead, Usa saw Lianzi hurriedly shouting.
"Excuse me. ”
Even at such a close distance, the soothsayer still couldn't see clearly.
"Well, I ...... I...... Melly, you better ask first!"
Usa saw that Renko was spitting for a long time, and finally pushed Maailubelli to the front.
"Excuse me. ”
Again, the soothsayer's attitude is neither warm nor cold, and his tone is always so calm.
"I wonder what we're going to encounter today?"
Maalubelli sat down, looked at each other and said.
She doesn't believe much in predicting the future, so the questions are very arbitrary.
"What happened today?"
The soothsayer's hands covered the crystal ball, and an incomprehensible incantation sounded from under the black cloak. The crystal ball suddenly brightened, flickering and dimming, as if something had flashed through it.
It was a long time before she let go of her hand.
"Today, you will meet what you are looking forward to. ”
The soothsayer's voice was tinged with doubt, as if even she couldn't understand the result.
"The ...... we were looking forward to"
Maalubelli muttered under her breath and slowly stood up.
She was a little baffled, what was she and Usami Hasuko looking forward to?
"It's your turn. ”
"Good...... Good. ”
Usa saw that Lianzi had been grinding for a long time before finally sitting down.
"Do you have any questions?"
"That...... I want to ask, when will I get a boyfriend?"
"Ahh
Maellubelli stared at her in disbelief.
"Lianzi, do you mean it really?"
"Well, this, probably ......"
Usa saw Renko peek at the silent soothsayer and nodded.
Maalubelli's head immediately twisted to the side, and her face was clouded.
"Lotus seeds. ”
"Huh?"
"I'm going to break up with you. ”
"Huh...... Why?"
Instead of answering her words, Maalubelli turned and walked away. The pace gradually picked up, and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley.
"Mei ...... Melly, wait for me!"
Usa saw that Lianzi's expression changed dramatically at that time, and he didn't wait for the results of the divination to be known, so he got up and hurriedly chased after him. After walking a short distance, she ran back again, took a bill from her purse and placed it on the table.
"No need to look for it. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
As if not noticing her inner anxiety, the soothsayer slowly stopped her.
"Tell me something. ”
Usa saw that Renko kept walking in place, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.
"The answer you want to know is actually in your heart. ”
"The answer is in my heart?"
"That's right. ”
The soothsayer nodded slightly.
"It's just that if you want to test others in the future, don't joke about this kind of thing, otherwise you will really ask for trouble. ”
"I want you to take care of it. ”
Usa saw Renko baring her teeth at her, turned around and quickly chased in the direction Maalubelli had gone......
In the dark narrow alley, only a hazy black figure remained.
A short time later, a kitten with reddish-brown hair walked in from the other side of the alley and sat down in front of the soothsayer. It scratched at its ears and brushed away a leaf that was sticking to the top of its head.
"Poof......
A puff of white smoke suddenly rose, and the kitten sitting there was gone, but there was a brown-haired girl.
The girl had a pair of small, very cute animal ears, and a book and a white bottle with the word "wine" pinned to her waist. But the most conspicuous thing is the raccoon tail behind her that makes people want to hold it.
Eryan Jizo swung the big tail and put the green leaf in his hand back on his head, and when the raccoon ear was touched by his hand, he unconsciously shook a few times.
"Tsk. ”
She clicked her lips and looked in the direction where Usami Renko and Maai Lubelli had left.
"Two more fools have been fooled by your words. ”
"Don't say that, I'm not saying that. ”
The soothsayer lifted the cloak that was covered, revealing a very delicate face. The two strands of hair on the top of the head were free of oppression and immediately stood up.
Raised high, like a pair of animal ears.
If they were still here, they would have been surprised that the divination man for them was a girl about as young as they were.
"Although I am not a soothsayer, it is not false that I can predict a person's future. ”
Before her death, she was already able to understand the conversation of ten people at the same time, and after a long period of deep sleep, she gained a new ability, that is, she could hear human desires.
Desire will express the essence of a person, and as long as one can understand the ten desires of a person, one can understand his one qiē.
His past, his present, and even, his future.
"Ah, I see, you're amazing, okay! ”
I don't know how many times I've heard these words, and I'm tired of hearing them for a long time.
She walked over and leaned her back against the wall.
Feng Cong'er Shenzi smiled slightly when he saw her like this, the other party's attitude was much better than before, when he first met, he basically had a big fight every time he met.
"In this city, there are only two of us left!"
Eryan Yizang looked up at the narrow sky above him and muttered to himself.
The rest of the guys are gone. Or leave here and hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
Or, just dead.
"The world is expelling us. ”
Sado couldn't stay for a long time, but he didn't expect to come to the city of Kyoto, but there was still no place for her.
Feng Cong'er Shenzi stared at the crystal ball and did not speak.
"What are you going to do next? Do you want to stay here and wait for them?"
Eryan turned his head and asked.
If it weren't for Feng Cong'er Shenzi admitting it herself, she really couldn't believe that this guy who was all rory when he was fighting turned out to be the legendary King Shengde.
really responded to the sentence that people should not be disrespectful.
"I'm going to keep waiting. ”
Feng Cong'er Shenzi replied very firmly, as long as she continued to stay in this city, she always believed that Monobu Budu and Huo Qing'e would definitely find her.
"What a stubborn guy, just wait, I'm not interested in accompanying you. ”
Eryan Yizang touched the wine jug on his waist, only to remember that the wine in it had been drunk very early, and he was immediately depressed.
"How?"
Feng Cong'er Shenzi raised his face sharply and looked at her in surprise.
"Are you leaving Kyoto too?"
"I don't want to stay in this vulgar world for a moment. ”
The power of the yokai is constantly weakening, but the human race is getting stronger and stronger, and the weapons they have created have become a threat to the lives of the vast majority of youkai.
To remain in the human world is either to be killed or reduced to the research material of those so-called scientists.
For the youkai, it's worse than death.
"You, the former famous Prince Shotoku, have fallen into the trap of pretending to be a soothsayer, not to mention us youkai. ”
"Hmph. ”
Feeling that his majesty had been violated, Feng Cong'er Shenzi was angry and helpless.
She sighed and calmed down.
"And where are you going?"
"I've heard a rumor that there's a place in the world called Gensokyo that belongs to the yokai's paradise, so I'm going to try my luck. ”
"Do you know where?"
"I don't know. ”
Eryan Yizang was suddenly deflated, if she knew where that place was, she wouldn't have set off sooner.
"Anyway, good luck!"
Feng Cong'er Shenzi was silent for a long time, and forced a smile to show himself and said.
"Why don't you go with me, you can have more companions on the way. ”
Feng Cong'er Shenzi thought for a long time, but still shook his head.
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, since you want to stay, then I won't force you. ”
Eryan stood up straight and waved his hand.
Looking at her back gradually moving away, Feng Cong'er Shenzi's heart was filled with unspeakable sadness.
Finally, is she the only one left?
Eryan Yuzang walked ten or so steps, suddenly stopped, twitched his nose and sniffed a few times.
"What a fragrant smell. ”
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that her appearance was strange, Feng Cong'er Shenzi asked.
"Hey, hey, hey. ”
Eryan licked his lips, his eyes shining.
"In this city, there seem to be other guys in this city besides the two of us now!"
