I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

"But her whereabouts are always uncertain. If you want to ask her for divination, you have to rely on luck. I didn't expect to meet her here."

Lucius looked at the light dancing in Nora's eyes and couldn't help but smile:

"It seems my dear Nora is very interested. Do you want to give it a try?"

"May I?"

Nora looked up in surprise, then hesitated:

“But there are so many people…”

"what is the relationship?"

"As long as I'm with you, even the longest wait is just a moment."

Lucius took her hand and walked towards the crowd:

"Let's go and see if this magical fortune teller can predict our bright future."

To be honest, Lucius didn't have any expectations for the level of the street fortune teller.

Nora also said that this fortune teller is quite proficient in Tarot, crystal, physiognomy, and astrology.

After hearing this, Lucius completely regarded this as just entertainment.

As we all know, divination is a skill that requires considerable talent. It is already very difficult to master one method of peeking into fate, let alone master all of them.

If this fortune teller was really that capable, Lucius would have eaten her table on the spot.

If you want divination, why don't you go to the palace and find Octavia?

He is a real astrologer.

But since Nora is interested, let her do it.

Brother Lu is never one to spoil the fun.

The two of them moved slowly with the crowd.

While waiting in line, Lucius would occasionally play with Nora's hair or tell her some witty remarks to make her happy.

An hour later, they finally arrived at the stall.

The stall was very simple, with only a small table and a few chairs. The table was covered with dark blue velvet embroidered with patterns of stars and moons.

The fortune teller himself wore a large hood and was wrapped in a dark robe, so his face could not be seen clearly.

"Please take a seat."

A hoarse female voice came from under the hood, with a strange rhythm:

"What kind of ripples do you two want to see in the long river of fate?"

Lucius and Nora looked at each other and then sat down.

The fortune teller stretched out her slender hands, with all sorts of strange rings on her fingers.

For some reason, Lucius always felt that these hands looked familiar.

So, Lucius, curious, opened his Spirit Eyes vision—

「Christine Tistelin Lv.109」

Lucius:? ? ?

Damn it, Chrissy is still after me!

Run!

That day, Lucius finally recalled the fear of being drained by Chris in the simulation.

My kidneys and big white newt began to ache at the same time, and a chill ran up my spine to the back of my neck.

At this moment, Chris also raised her hand, slowly took off her hood, revealing her true face.

What was strange was that the people around seemed to be under a sleight of hand and turned a blind eye to this scene.

"Ciallo~(∠?ω<)⌒★"

"Long time no see, my sweetheart~"

Chris gave her signature sly smile, her voice suddenly became as clear and melodious as a silver bell, and her pupils flashed with a dangerous light like a predator.

Nora: ???

Another one?

Wait, if we count Sister Plotina and Iveliya, this is the third one today, right?

How many people are coveting my brother Lucius?!

Staring at Chris's delicate face, which was as delicate as a porcelain doll, Nora couldn't help but have such questions in her mind.

At this moment, she had begun to regret why she decided to come here and give it a try.

Curiosity really killed the cat!

"Brother Lucius, who is this...?"

Nora smiled and spoke, trying to keep her voice calm.

"I am a bad person who is greedy for his body."

Chris proudly puffed out her chest, which was as tall as Iveliya's, and revealed her identity.

"you......"

Nora was about to speak when she discovered an extremely terrifying phenomenon.

The small square that was originally crowded with people was now left with only himself and Chris sitting across the table from him. Even Lucius beside him was nowhere to be seen.

This made Nora start to feel scared.

"This is your inner world, little girl."

"In reality, your brother Lucius is still by your side."

Chris spoke softly, stood up and walked to Nora's side:

"I just think you're interesting, so I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

Nora's little face turned pale in an instant. She subconsciously activated the gift, but found that Chris in front of her was not affected at all.

"Hmm, time, a great power."

Chris watched her increasingly panicked expression with great interest, and commented with a relaxed expression:

"It's a pity that to me, the laws of physics, time and space are meaningless concepts."

"Who are you exactly?"

Nora looked at Chris anxiously, her hands clenched into fists.

"Didn't I already say that?"

"I'm a bad guy, of course, you can also call me a cute and charming villain."

Chris's fingers gently stroked Nora's tender cheek. The temperature of her fingertips was too low to be that of a living person. A bone-chilling chill ran through Nora's body.

"Compared to these, let's take a look at what's hidden deep in your heart~"

"What's stirring beneath that surface gentleness and sweetness?"

Chris's voice lingered in Nora's ears like a spell, and the square beneath her feet instantly transformed into a magnificent theater.

The first thing that caught Nora's eye was the scene when she, Lucius and Plotina wrote their wishes on the river lanterns when they were children.

Nora: ???

.......

in reality.

"Chris, what are you doing here?"

Lucius stared at Chris, his voice low and calm. He didn't look panicked at all, but in fact he had been sweating profusely for a while.

"Hey, don't be so nervous~"

Chris noticed Lucius's nervousness, smiled slightly, and reached out to grab his sleeve:

"I'm in business mode now, I don't have time to do anything bad~"

"I guess you must be very wary of me. No matter what I say, you won't believe it."

"However, meeting is fate. Since we have met today, I will give you a small gift."

"Humph, I don't want to listen to your nonsense! You don't deserve to talk!"

"Nora, let's go!"

Lucius didn't believe Chris's nonsense. He shook off Chris's hand and wanted to take Nora away from this dangerous place immediately.

But he didn't get Nora's response immediately.

Lucius' heart suddenly tightened.

Turning around, Noila Mo was sitting in the chair as if she had lost her soul, staring blankly ahead with empty eyes.

"Nora?"

Lucius shook her shoulders and called her name again.

"Ah! Brother Lucius..."

Nora's eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was still a lingering trace of fear in her pupils as they returned to focus.

"What happened to you just now?"

"Did Chris do something to you?"

Lucius looked at her with concern, holding her face in his hands and examining it carefully, fearing that she had been hurt.

If something happens to my Nora, then I don't mind using the power of the Supreme Heaven.

"No, no, she just showed me some scary scenes..."

Nora shook her head slightly, her voice trembling.

Her little hands involuntarily clutched Lucius's sleeves, as if this was the only way to feel safe.

Brother Lucius being squeezed dry or something...it's just horrible!

"Chris, you bitch!"

"What did you do to my Nora!?"

Lucius, who didn't know the truth, turned back angrily with anger burning in his eyes, but was surprised to find that Chris was no longer in front of him, as if she had never appeared.

Lucius: Huh?

Are you really leaving like this today?

Don’t you want to eat anything?

Oh, why do I suddenly feel lost?

Later, Lucius noticed that although Chris had left, there was an ordinary-looking black round bead on the table in front of her.

He recognized it immediately—

Another fragment of "Echo of Fate".

PS: I originally wrote more than 7,000 words, but I was not very satisfied with what I wrote, so I simply deleted it.

Besides, I'm a little sleepy now. I feel so groggy that I can't think of anything to do. I might as well go to sleep first!

So, let’s just play around with 6K for a bit today and try again tomorrow.
