The witch took out a crystal ball embedded in the bronze base from a box and placed it gently on the red tablecloth on the obsidian low table.

There were two spherical protrusions on both sides of the bronze base of the crystal ball. The witch pointed to the two protrusions, "Please hold them with your hands."

Lin Tianyu said that the opera meat is coming, and this is the first time he has seen someone tell fortunes with crystal balls. Although there seem to be many similar scenes in movies and games, he has never seen anyone telling fortunes in the real world.

Lin Tianyu put his hands on the two protrusions as the witch's instructions, staring at the crystal ball, and suddenly felt a strange burning heat in his palm, as if his limbs were connected to the bronze base. This feeling that he had never experienced before made him a little alert, and he subconsciously wanted to take his hands away from the bronze base, but for some reason, his hands seemed to be attracted by an invisible suction force and could not move at all.

What's going on! Lin Tianyu looked at the witch opposite in panic, but the witch's eyes were very calm, "Looking at the crystal ball, you will see your own destiny."

Just after the witch said that, a white mist suddenly appeared from the originally transparent crystal ball. Just as Lin Tianyu was gaze, the white mist surged like a vortex. His eyes gradually became blurred, and a faint voice was vaguely speaking to him.

"The veil of fate is about to be revealed, and the fog of life is about to be broken. Look at it and feel your future destiny!"

The vortex of the white mist was turning faster and faster. Some blurry pictures appeared in front of Lin Tianyu's eyes. The pictures looked incoherent and very fragmented. From time to time, flashbacks seemed to be telling a complete story and presented to him. In those broken pictures, there were passions brought by flames and blood, preludes of war and killing, fear brought by darkness and evil, joy of life and sweet feelings of love.

Lin Tianyu's expression changed with the rapid switching of the picture. When the picture turned to the end, a lonely back appeared in front of Lin Tianyu's eyes instantly. The man stood in front of a black door. The darkness behind the door was so dark that Lin Tianyu could not see clearly what it was, but it seemed that there was something scary inside that made Lin Tianyu subconsciously not dare to look into the door. He shouted at the person, wanting to remind the person of the danger behind the door, but the person with his back to him seemed not moved. The man walked towards the door and suddenly turned his head when he stepped into the door with one foot. Lin Tianyu could clearly see the face of the person. Oh my God, that person looked exactly the same as him, except that he seemed to be older than him - he was about thirty years old, and his expression was a kind of openness and peace that made him feel strange, and it was almost exactly the same as him.

Lin Tianyu's hair suddenly stood up. He looked at the man. I don't know how long it took, but a smile suddenly appeared on the man's face, as if he could feel his existence. Then, under Lin Tianyu's gaze, he walked into the door and disappeared.

Just as the black door closed, the illusion suddenly disappeared. Lin Tianyu suddenly let go and sat on the ground behind him. There was an incredible expression in his eyes, but his spirit was still immersed in the last scene.

"What did you see?" The witch's urgent voice brought him back to reality.

He adjusted the focal length and found that the witch stood up, with a hint of hope and inquiring eyes in his eyes, staring at him in a daze.

"I saw everything, I saw everything," he shook his head and recalled it carefully, but it seemed that he did not leave any clear impression. Those sporadic pictures about the future suddenly couldn't remember them all, but the last scene remained clearly in his mind like an oil painting.

What does that door that made him feel extremely frightened mean?

"I don't think I can explain too much to you," he said, as he stood up, feeling a little exhausted. "I did see a lot, but I can't recall it."

Lin Tianyu gasped heavily, hesitated for a moment, but did not reveal the scene of the last scene.

"I understand," the witch nodded, took a brown clay pot from the side, and poured him a steaming drink.

"Drink it, it will feel better."

Lin Tianyu smelled it and felt a smell of herbal medicine. After hesitating for a moment, he took a sip. A bitter and sweet smell spread in his mouth, which was different from the taste of tea, but it made him feel refreshed.

This is the first time Lin Tianyu has experienced such a magical thing. He pointed a little apologetically, "For what I thought I should apologize to you just now. Your divination is indeed very magical. Although I cannot yet determine whether the future is as shown in the illusion, you have indeed allowed me to see the power of fate."

He said, touched his pocket and wanted to pay a sum of money, but he was embarrassed to find that he did not bring money, and the gadgets were left at Apius's home and did not bring them with him. Fortunately, he also brought a lighter he used to use. This lighter was an old-fashioned Zhibao lighter, which Lin Tianyu bought for 200 yuan in the fritters market. The shape of this lighter has obvious characteristics of the old era, and there is a relief of a bulldog on the shell. Therefore, Lin Tianyu judged that this should be left by the US military aiding China during World War II. Although he did not smoke, he liked to bring this lighter with him.

He hesitated for a moment when he took out the lighter, and finally decided to use it as the divination gold for this time. He spread the lighter in his hand and smiled at the witch, "I don't know if you have heard of Prometheus' story (1)..."

After listening to Lin Tianyu's story, the witch neither shook her head in disbelief nor did she exclaim in surprise. She just smiled slightly, "The story is good. Although it sounds like there are many loopholes, I don't mind you using it to pay for your hexagram gold. In fact, I think this little thing is really magical, so I am willing to give you another amulet as a gift."

She said that the glass jar was placed in front of Lin Tianyu.

"Only one can be chosen?"

"Yes," the witch nodded.

"Okay," Lin Tianyu hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a bronze sphinx amulet. The sphinx amulet was carved with a very three-dimensional sense. Lin Tianyu felt that it would be an amazing craft if he got modern times. This trip to the dark alley not only gave him a rare divination experience, but also gained such a gadget. Lin Tianyu felt that the trip was worth it.

After saying goodbye to the witch, he turned around and left.

Seeing Lin Tianyu's back disappearing behind the door, the witch thoughtfully played with the lighter in her hand, igniting - extinguishing - and then extinguishing, and extinguishing it very skillfully.

She coughed lightly into the corner, and the tapestries hanging on the wall were suddenly unveiled, and a burly old man in his fifties walked out of it.

Although his hair and beard were gray, the man still looked strong. His strong upper body was wearing a black exquisite leather armor with silver ornaments, his lower body was wearing metal shin guards like a Roman, and his feet were wearing leather boots. He was carrying a long sword with both hands, two dog-legged scimitars hanging around his waist, and a long dagger was inserted into his shin guards. He was armed to his teeth, and the weapons he wore were obviously very different from the weapons of this era.

But the witch seemed to have not noticed these things. She just nodded casually to the other party, "Alex, you can release her."

As she said, she took off her headscarf and tied her soft black hair into a neat ponytail. The brightly colored robe on her body was also taken off, revealing a completely different style from the style of this era. When her face towel was taken off, she showed a pretty and slightly tender face. Lin Tianyu would probably be surprised if she saw the other person's appearance, because this "witch" looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she looked just a girl.

Not long after the veteran entered, he dragged a gypsy woman in her thirties and walked in.

The girl looked at the gypsy woman and nodded apologetically. She was sorry to borrow your place, "I think the money should be enough for compensation."

She said that a small bag of gold coins was thrown in front of the woman. The gypsy woman picked up the purse and looked at it. Her eyes were filled with excitement, and there was no dissatisfaction.

The girl was not surprised by this. She gestured to Alex and turned to walk outside. The guard, known as Alex, immediately picked up the crystal ball on the table and hurriedly followed, "Where are we going now?" he asked as he walked.

The girl turned around and smiled at him: "Let's go home."

(1) Prometheus's story: In ancient Greek mythology, Prometheus taught a lot of knowledge about mankind. Zeus forbidden humans from using fire, so he helped mankind steal fire from Olympus, which angered Zeus. Zeus locked him on the cliff of the Caucasus Mountain, sent an eagle to eat his liver every day, and let his liver grow again every day. Thousands of years later, Hercules came to the edge of the cliff to find the golden apple, shot the evil eagle to death, and let the centaur Chiron replace Prometheus. But he had to wear an iron ring forever, and put a stone on the Caucasus Mountain in the ring.
