Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

This time, Bai Zhi sat quietly at the table. It was rare that she didn't hold the crystal ball and placed it tightly beside her. She was holding a piece of paper and drawing something on it. When she heard the noise, she looked up at Amuro Toru indifferently.

Indifferent, distant, mysterious, yet fragile like a dandelion, just as when I first met her.

"Alas." Bai Zhi sighed softly, turned the white paper over, and muttered softly: "You are here after all."

"Yeah, that's right. After all, I promised to bring you a toy." Amuro Toru smiled and handed over the thing in his hand: "Here."

This is a hand-carved little rabbit. It is very light. Although it looks a bit rough and it is obviously carved by a novice, every part has been carefully polished.

"...That's not what I meant." Bai Zhi held the palm-sized little rabbit in her hands and lowered her head silently: "Last time...I wasn't blaming you for not bringing this to me, I just said it casually."

"Yes, I know. I wanted to bring it to you to see." Amuro Toru took over the conversation naturally and smiled proudly: "This is my first time learning wood carving. I don't know how I'm doing. Can you give me some advice?"

Bai Zhi was silent. She didn't dare to look up, for fear that the sunlight would hurt her eyes.

Rum is right.

People like her would fly into a flame just because of a small candle.

But Rum was wrong too.

The premise of a moth flying into a flame is that she is still a moth, but she gave up on herself. She has never been a moth chasing after fire, she is the flame itself, burning herself out in the long river of fate.

A tiny flame dreams of overturning the waves of fate, and an overconfident mantis dreams of pushing away the wheel of fate that is crushing it.

Baizhi stroked the wood sculpture and bit the tip of her tongue. The sharp pain overwhelmed the pain in her heart and made Baizhi calm down again.

"Hey, Baizhi, how did you get here?" Amuro Toru looked at Baizhi who was keeping silent with her eyes downcast, and asked curiously, "How old are you? Do you know where your family is? What do they call you?"

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then realized belatedly that she had not yet explained this matter to Amuro Toru.

"If it is based on the speed of time that I feel, it is probably more than 900 years old." Bai Zhi said very naturally, which once again overturned Amuro Toru's three views: "My family is no longer here."

Amuro Toru: “Huh?”

Are you kidding me?

"I'm serious. I won't die. I'll do business in different worlds." Bai Zhi said guiltily.

In fact, it was illegal and she didn't have a formal business license, so she had to hide from place to place.

"My brother often calls me Ah Zhi. The last time I saw him was a week before Chinese New Year." Bai Zhi closed her eyes, as if recalling: "He said he would cook my favorite dishes and wait for me at home. At that time, I was in my third year of high school and my schoolwork was very busy. We could go home a week before Chinese New Year."

"A week before the New Year?" Amuro Toru didn't understand. He didn't understand why the time gap was so long.

One week before the New Year, does it have anything to do with Baizhi's current condition?

"That day was the first snow in our hometown." Bai Zhi stopped talking here. She pressed her temples irritably, unwilling to continue.

"Azhi." Amuro Toru touched his chin, thinking: "It sounds pretty good."

Yes, she thinks so too. Her name is the most unique, and everyone in the class thinks so.

"Amuro Toru." Bai Zhi placed the wooden sculpture next to the crystal ball and said softly, "I accept this rabbit. You can ask a question."

"Hey, hey~ I said, I'm not here to make a deal with you." Amuro Toru didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing Bai Zhi lowering her eyes to avoid reality and being unyielding, he could only think about it carefully.

"Since you know everything, can you tell fortunes?" Toru Amuro suddenly remembered that last time Azusa Enomoto seemed to have told him that when she went to a fireworks party, she came across a tarot card booth and did fortune-telling.

It seems that the result is pretty good. Although Toru Amuro doesn't quite believe it, looking at Azusa Enomoto's expression, she seems very happy.

"I can know the result directly and tell you directly. Do you want to know your ending?" Bai Zhi finally became interested. She raised her head and looked at Amuro Toru seriously: "Amuro Toru, you are very important."

"Ah? Me?" Toru Amuro was a little confused by Bai Zhi's stare. Her amber almond eyes looked at him seriously, making Toru Amuro feel a little uncomfortable.

"Don't get me wrong, I mean it literally. You are very important in this world." Bai Zhi nodded: "The result of your fate is worth seventy years of life."

"Uh, huh?" Amuro Toru was puzzled: "This, is it important or not?"

"Yes, if an inconspicuous passerby asks him about his fortune, at most three to five years will be deducted." Bai Zhi said: "After all, I saw it directly and said it very straightforwardly. I am much more reliable than those fortune tellers who see things in the fog and speak in a roundabout way, and you have to figure it out yourself."

"Although you are not the most important, you are also among the top." Bai Zhi took the crystal ball and wiped it casually: "If it is the two most important ones, it is the soul."

The most important thing?

Toru Amuro frowned and thought of the little detective boy with glasses for no reason.

"So, do you want to know your fate?" Bai Zhi smiled, her voice gentle and low, like a temptation: "If you don't want to exchange your soul for the souls of four people, then using the rest of your life in exchange for the victory of light... is also a good deal."

"The magic lady in the magic shop never does business at a loss, and of course never sells inferior products." Bai Zhi lay on the crystal ball and looked at Amuro Toru seriously: "These two products are more valuable than each other."

Toru Amuro: "..."

"Heh, so you're saying that as long as I know my fate, we will definitely win, right?" Amuro Toru was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "So, I still have at least 70 years left to live. Based on my current age, the result will be known within ten years."

"Then, as long as I hold on for ten years, everything will be over within ten years, and since I have lived this long, we have won." Amuro Toru said with a smile: "From this perspective, I am very long-lived."

"Yeah, you can say that?" Bai Zhi realized that she seemed to have let something slip.

I can only say that she is indeed a smart red elite. As expected, she shouldn't have said too much in front of this group of smart people.

It's just a guess. Go ahead and guess. Who can guess better than you?

The same goes for Karasuma Renya, Rum, and Amuro Toru... Everyone is trying to find ways to take advantage of her. It's really difficult for them to pay her. If it's like this, how can they still do business?

Bai Zhi held the crystal ball and looked at Amuro Toru with resentment. No matter how Amuro Toru apologized this time, Bai Zhi snorted coldly, turned her head away and ignored him.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't think so much. You see, I only know the result, not the process." Amuro Toru looked at Bai Zhi's angry expression and quickly smoothed it over: "And I don't care about this. I didn't want to ask this question."

What do you mean you didn’t want to ask this question!?

You didn't want to ask this question, but you hinted at it and made me let it slip. As a result, I still owe you a question. I'm the one who's being wronged in love!

"Hmph!" Bai Zhi glared at Amuro Toru fiercely again, insisting on keeping her mouth shut.

Don't even think about letting her let her guard down again and letting her reveal information!

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I really didn't mean it. I'll bring you more things to make up for it next time." Amuro Toru didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Actually, I wanted to ask about your fortune."
