I want to just drift through life in Type-Moon.

"Then how can we find her?" Orange asked persistently. If this person didn't know the answer, he might have to go find their boss.

"I don't know." The gang leader's answer disappointed Orange again, but just as she was about to give up, the gang leader added.

"However, that person, Guanbuzi's mother, is nearby. When, when my elder brother found her for divination, he asked us to occupy these three streets, and if that diviner encountered any trouble, we must help her."

Upon hearing this answer, Orange's eyes lit up. Although the information she had gathered previously indicated that Guanbuzi's mother set up a stall in a certain area, the exact location was unclear, so the area she had defined was quite large. Now that she had reliable information, things would be much easier.

Aoko also realized that she seemed to have stumbled upon the perfect solution, and seeing her sister so easily obtain the answer to the question she wanted to know, her eyes were filled with admiration and a hint of envy that she herself did not realize.

Upon hearing the same answer, Yuzhu turned her gaze to the entrance of the alley not far away, where a black cat stood under a streetlamp watching them.

"Okay, thanks for the information. Well then, that's all for now." Orange turned around, ignoring the other thugs lying on the ground, and walked right past them. The three of them reunited and walked back into the alley.

At this moment, the black kitten that Yuzhu had noticed earlier had disappeared.

Because Qingzi had gone too far, the group of thugs who had been lying on the ground screaming in pain after they left took a while to recover. Several of them crawled together, their hearts burning with rage.

"Acheng, go find our older brother right now and tell him we've been bullied!"

"You have to trouble your elder brother with such a small matter?"

"Why not? Humph! When our big brother comes, after he's had his way with that woman, we can at least have some leftovers. Otherwise, how are we supposed to get revenge?"

"makes sense!"

"Yes! Even if she's a withered flower, I'll still ruin her!"

A group of thugs started discussing this wild idea without realizing that there were no other passersby around them. Then, when a burly man appeared in front of them, they realized that something was wrong.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Let me make it clear first. This area is our territory. If you cause trouble, my brothers will definitely not let you off the hook..." The gang leader spoke first. He swallowed hard, looked at the person in front of him with trembling eyes, and then his hair stood on end!

You'll die! If you anger this man, you'll die! Every time the thugs see Nero Chaos, their life warnings are constantly alerting them that this man is extremely dangerous.

"What did that girl ask you?" Nero Chaos looked down at the group of thugs with a blank expression, his voice unusually deep.

"She, she, they're looking for someone..." the gang leader stammered, his face contorted with grief.

"Who are you looking for?" Nero Chaos rolled his eyes, looking in the direction where Orange and the others had disappeared.

"Guan Buzi's mother!" Not being stared at by those beast-like eyes, the gang leader, who felt less pressured, answered quickly, with only one thought in his mind: to finish speaking as soon as possible and send this dangerous person away.

"Who is that?" Nero Chaos looked at the thug again, his cold, unsmiling expression almost scaring the man so much that he wet himself.

“A fortune teller! A very accurate fortune teller! She sets up her stall around here! I don’t know anything else!” The gang leader answered in a trembling, tearful voice, because he noticed a huge snake, thicker than his thigh, suddenly darting out from under the other man’s feet, and the snake was staring at him with hungry eyes.

At this point, the gang leader thought he had encountered a legendary monster. After all, Japan is a country where various monster legends are prevalent, so it was quite normal for him to think that way at this time.

Even without looking, he knew there was chaos behind him, because he heard several screams, some abruptly stopped and the sound of someone falling to the ground, and others screaming as they receded into the distance. He wasn't much better off than them—his pants were already wet.

The reason he didn't run wasn't because he was brave, but because his legs were completely powerless. He couldn't help but lament his bad luck today. First, he encountered an incredibly fierce girl, and then he encountered a monster even more terrifying than the legends. If he survived this ordeal, he would definitely become a good student and never go astray again.

As if the heavens had heard his prayers, Nero Chaos, after hearing his answer, did not make things difficult for them any further and went directly to the alley where Orange and the others had entered. The giant python that had already appeared slowly brushed past them.

When it was confirmed that Nero Chaos and the giant serpent had disappeared, everyone who was still conscious was paralyzed with fear, and a few even sobbed softly.

The gang leader covered his face with trembling hands, thinking: I really will never be involved in gangs again...

Chapter 218 Absolute Future Vision (Part 2)

Following the thugs' directions, Orange and her two friends weaved through the alleyways of the building.

Even though the sun had already risen, the alley was still incredibly dark. As they walked, the three of them came to a section of road that had clearly been hit by something, making it bumpy and uneven.

Orange looked at the ground, then looked up at the building under construction, and in less than three seconds she realized what was going on.

"What's wrong, sister?" Seeing Orange stop walking ahead, Aoko thought something was wrong with her.

"It's nothing, let's keep going." After saying that, Orange looked away from the building and then subtly winked at Yuzhu.

Yuzhu nodded almost imperceptibly, glancing behind her as if unintentionally.

Seeing her actions, Orange knew that what she had discovered, Yuzhu had also discovered.

Aoko looked at the two of them strangely, wondering what they were doing. But her intuition told her that the two of them had suddenly become alert, but she didn't know what there was to be alert about. In fact, she knew that someone was following them.

Although she couldn't hear any footsteps, Aoko's powerful sixth sense had already told her that someone was behind her, but she didn't feel any danger. After determining that the person was safe, Aoko didn't tell her sister about it, but now it seems that her sister and Ayumi still found out.

The three pretended not to know anything and continued walking forward, but they reached the end in less than three minutes.

“It’s a dead end.” Orange looked at the wall in front of her, somewhat speechless. “Let’s turn back. It seems this isn’t the alley.”

The gang leader had said there were three streets, but they didn't even choose the first one.

"No, wait." Just as Orange was about to turn back, Yuzhu stopped her and pointed to a spot on their right.

Orange and Aoko looked in the direction that Yuzhu was pointing, but they didn't find anything.

"What's wrong, Ice Face? What's that over there?" Aoko stared at it for a while but saw nothing, so she looked at Yuzhu with displeasure.

Yuzhu didn't argue, she just walked straight in that direction.

Seeing this, Orange frowned. She didn't understand what Yuzhu had discovered, but what happened next surprised her.

Youzhu walked to the wall, raised her foot, and kicked the wall with a move completely out of character. Then, in the dim light, a large hole appeared there.

Aoko stared in disbelief at the scene, while Orange raised her eyebrows and looked at the hole that could accommodate a small child with a strange expression.

"How did you find it?" After looking for a long time, Orange realized that the hole was already there, because its gap was very neat, and it was just that someone had blocked it with something.

"There was a cat here just now." Yuzhu didn't want to explain, but to avoid the other two from overthinking, she had no choice but to tell them what she had just seen.

“Actually, before we came into this alley, I saw the same black cat, and just now, that cat scurried into this alley, which is why I realized there was something wrong here,” Yuzhu said slowly, suspecting that the cat might have done it on purpose.

"Black cat?" Orange's expression was not so relaxed.

“Black cat.” Yuzhu nodded firmly.

"Huh, what's wrong with the black cat? Isn't Ice Face a witch? It's normal for her to see a black cat, right?" Aoko looked at the two of them, puzzled.

Yuzu was too lazy to explain the relationship between the witch and the black cat to Aoko. She felt that there must be a reason why the black cat had led her here.

Orange also felt that time was tight, so she didn't explain it to Qingzi. Qingzi looked at the hole with a troubled expression, "Climb over?"

Aoko was taken aback, then realized what her sister was talking about. She looked at her fair, clean hands, then at the white trousers she was wearing, and quickly shook her head. "No! Sister, let's turn back and find another way!"

Hearing Aoko's words, Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief. When she discovered the hole, she also thought of the suggestion that Touko had made, but like Aoko, she would rather find another way than climb over it—her mysophobia was much more severe than Aoko's.

Orange turned her head and glanced in the direction they came from. It was pitch black there, but it looked like a gaping maw.

Taking a deep breath, Orange looked at the wall that was two people high, and finally gave up on climbing over it. Instead, she activated her body enhancement magic and violently punched the wall.

The delicate fist struck the wall without making a sound, but upon closer inspection, one would find that the wall was covered with spiderweb-like cracks centered on the fist.

"Let's go." After gesturing for Aoko and Yuzu to take two steps back, Orange changed her fist into a palm and gently pressed down on the spot where she had just punched. The wall was then broken open, creating a space large enough for them to walk through.

Beneath the rising dust lay scattered, relatively uniform pieces of wall debris.

Aoko stared at her sister's fist with a look of utter astonishment, while Yuju took two steps back, completely avoiding the dust.

After the dust settled, Orange stepped directly over the broken pieces, while Aoko leaped over them. Yuzu, who was at the back, carefully stepped over the pieces that weren't piled up as much, and as she passed by, she seemed to press against the wall for support.

After the three of them successfully made their way across, they looked at the alleyway, which was not much different from the one they had just crossed.

"Meow~" Just then, a long meow rang out, and the three of them immediately focused their attention on it.

"Over there!" Aoko excitedly pointed to a direction to the right and back of the alley, where there was a hard-to-find intersection, and a black cat was standing there, swishing its tail and watching them.

"There really is a black cat!" After seeing the cat's fur color clearly, Aoko excitedly nudged Yuzu. Yuzu first gave Aoko an unpleasant look, and then looked at the black cat with a serious expression.

As a witch, Arisu is well aware of the significance of the black cat, and whether in fairy tales or European folklore, the relationship between witches and black cats is very close.

But what many people don't know is that the relationship between the black cat and the witch wasn't actually that harmonious.

However, before Yuju could go up and greet the obviously abnormal black cat, it turned around and ran away quickly.

"Ah, they're gone..." Aoko sighed with a hint of disappointment.

Orange looked thoughtfully at the black cat's back, feeling that the other party seemed to be deliberately waiting for them there.

Only Yuzhu didn't say anything and walked directly to the intersection where the black cat had been.

Seeing this, Qingzi no longer hesitated and followed after Chengzi, holding her hand.

Chapter 219 Absolute Future Vision (Part 2)

After turning the corner, everything in the alley came into view.

At the end of the narrow, dark, and long road, a faint light flickered. The alleyway, surrounded by three buildings, led nowhere, and a woman, clearly wearing a heavy cloak, sat behind her table awaiting her guests.

She is a woman shrouded in mystery. Her attire and demeanor seem to tell people that she is no ordinary person.

The fortune teller sat behind a table covered with a purple tablecloth. On the table were a square lantern and a crystal ball, which served as light sources. But unlike when Yue Zhengling saw her, there was now a stack of tarot cards next to the crystal ball, and a chair had been added to the table.

"Oh my, what an unexpected group of guests," the woman said, her tone completely devoid of surprise.

"Are you the mother of Guanbuzi?" Completely unafraid of strangers, Aoko ran to the table and stared straight at the fortune teller.

"Hehe, that's just a nickname. Besides, being called the mother of Guanbuzi is actually a bit embarrassing." Although the other party didn't say it explicitly, these words were a tacit admission.

"So, what brings you three beautiful young ladies here? If it's a love fortune telling, I'm very accurate, you know." Guan Buzi's mother didn't say much, just gestured for Qingzi to sit down and asked directly.

"Huh? No, no, we didn't come here for a fortune telling." Qingzi waved her hand and shook her head, a slight blush appearing on her face. At her age, she already knew what love was all about, but that wasn't what she came for today!

"Don't you have future vision? Don't you know why we came here to find you?" Orange looked suspiciously at this person recorded by Yue Zhengling, who possessed "absolute future vision," which could not be an exaggeration to call the eyes of God.

"So that's how it is. The three of you are from the other side." The Mother of Guanbuzi, who had been about to pick up the crystal ball, withdrew her hand and leaned back. "I could indeed foresee that you would come to find me, but I did not see your purpose or your identities."

"So, what about now?" Yuzhu looked curiously into the fortune teller's eyes. Logically speaking, there are several types of "future vision," some belonging to the category of magic eyes and others to the category of non-magic eyes. The person in front of her has no magic circuits and her eyes are ordinary eyes. In that case, she should belong to the latter.

Thinking of this, Yuzhu couldn't help but recall her knowledge about future vision.

Futurism involves the concept of "visual perception," which allows individuals to anticipate future scenarios through "seeing." Futurism, which relies solely on human capabilities, can be broadly categorized into two types: prediction and determination.

Prediction: This refers to the ability to see the people and things in a predicted scenario, combining a large amount of information and conducting analysis at a level higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, "predicting" the future is equivalent to a strong analytical ability of the received data. This includes information that could otherwise be obtained through sight and hearing, as well as the wisdom's vision and anticipation of the future. Combining these elements and elevating them to the realm of reality is what "predicting" the future is all about. This type of future vision is common and mostly harmless.

Measurement: This involves analyzing the necessary conditions for a specific future to help the holder achieve that future. After determining the future and seeing the result through displayed elements, the holder must also witness "that moment" firsthand. In cases where the holder observes personally, the "measured" future differs from a "prediction"—it is absolute. However, precisely because it is a "given" future, it has an overly obvious form that can be interfered with. This type of future is relatively rare but easily used for criminal activities.

In addition to these two types, there is a third type, explicitly recorded in Le Zhengling's manuscripts: prophetic form—absolute future vision.

That is a power beyond human capabilities, the ability to see the true future. If the holder does not heed the advice of the holder, the "future" is unavoidable. That is why this kind of future vision is called the Eye of God.

Besides these, there are other Mystic Eyes that include the ability to see into the future, such as the "Clairvoyance," which is not something humans can possess, as learned from Yue Zhengling's manuscript, and the most terrifying anomaly, the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception."

Although it wasn't described in detail by Yue Zhengling, the terrifying power of the pearl could still be seen between the lines, which made him feel a strong sense of dread towards the so-called Heroic Spirits and the holders of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.

"Oh, I see. So you didn't know why we came to find you," Orange said with a sigh.

The fortune teller looked at them quietly for a long time before saying apologetically, "I still can't see it. It's strange. I can't see your future in the near future at all, but I can see your future a few years from now very clearly. This is the first time I've seen this situation. It seems I can't give you much advice."

“It’s alright. Just like my sister said at the beginning, we’re not here to ask you to do divination. We’re just here to convey someone’s last wish.” Orange paused for a moment, and for some reason, she decided to refer to Yue Zhengling’s instructions as his last wish.

However, it's not wrong to call it a last wish, since that letter can indeed be called Yue Zhengling's last will and testament.

"Oh? Last wish?" Guan Buzi's mother paused, her expression changing slightly, her eyes fixed on Orange. "Whose last wish?"

Orange organized her thoughts and checked the time before saying, "About half a month ago, a very handsome boy came to you, and you performed a divination for him, right?"

Finally realizing who Orange was referring to, Guan Buzi's mother's eyes instantly dimmed, and her entire demeanor became incredibly depressed. "So, he really is dead? I didn't want to believe it at first, thinking he had just forgotten to come over, but it turns out he couldn't escape those three days after all?"

Aoko looked at the fortune teller who had suddenly become dejected, opened her mouth as if to say something, but then Orange pinched her shoulder, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say.

Yuzhu looked at Touko thoughtfully. Although she couldn't understand why Touko said that, now was not the time to contradict her, so she chose to watch quietly.

The reason Chengzi said this was to reconfirm the authenticity of Yue Zhengling's manuscript. If this person really had absolute future vision, she should know that Yue Zhengling was not dead yet.

Although this person said he could only see their future a few years from now, and not their near future, she didn't really believe it.

Chapter 220 What Happened That Night (Part 1)

The reason is simple: at the beginning, Guanbuzi's mother said that she met the three of them who came to find her, but now she says that she can't see their future in the near future, which is obviously a contradiction.

If Guanbuzi's mother wasn't lying, then it means she didn't want to tell, and she probably already knew why.

"It seems there are quite a few people here today, and this uninvited guest came with you." Guan Buzi's mother's gaze passed over Orange and the other two, looking towards the other end of the alley.

Upon hearing Guan Buzi's mother's words, the three of them turned around abruptly, only to find a tall figure appearing silently there.

Yuzhu was deeply impressed by this figure, and Orange was not without reason either. Both of them watched Nero Chaos slowly approaching with serious expressions and were on high alert.

"Nero Chaos, was that black cat your familiar? Did you deliberately lure us here?" Unable to contain her questions, Yuzhu spoke first, but received an unexpected answer.

“No, I don’t have any cat-like clones. I found this place by following you.” Nero Chaos stared at Yuju with his emotionless eyes.
