The witch held a crystal ball in her hand and looked at it closely.

"Next, we should go to this place."

Follow its guidance.

Wu strode forward and, by chance, saved a wealthy merchant who was being attacked by a strange force.

The One wealthy merchant was extremely grateful to the shaman for saving his life and voluntarily gave the shaman a shop.

"Sir, this shop perfectly suits your requirements. It's located on a corner of the commercial street; while it's not as bustling as the center, there's still a sidewalk available."

It met both the shaman's requirement for tranquility and the requirement for guests to come every day.

The wealthy businessman went to great lengths to select this shop.

He wiped his sweat, making no mention of the hardship he endured running up and down the hills.

"Are you really not Contract Anomalist?"

At first, the wealthy merchant thought he was lucky to have been saved by the Contract Anomalist.

However, the man said he was just an ordinary fortune teller.

Is it so ordinary that it can tear apart something bizarre?

The wealthy businessman dared not refute him; perhaps all these important figures simply preferred humility?

The shaman's next move made the wealthy businessman less certain.

Because the shaman decorated the shop to resemble a fortune-telling shop.

The money for the renovations naturally came from the pockets of wealthy businessmen.

A thick, dark purple curtain blocked out the light at the entrance, preventing any light from penetrating the shop.

All the lights and unnecessary items in the shop were removed and replaced with wooden shelves.

In the middle was a long wooden table.

On the table was a red soft pillow, upon which sat a crystal ball, clear, pure, and beautiful, perfectly positioned in the pillow's indentation.

The surrounding layout was also designed to be mysterious.

In particular, the bright incandescent bulbs were replaced with a strange type of candle.

The dim light was insufficient to illuminate the entire store, leaving most of the space in darkness.

It creates a sense of mystery.

The wealthy businessman said he had learned a new skill in pretending to be a ghost.

No, adults don't need to play tricks.

The wealthy merchant, seeing how easily the other party had defeated the strange creature, immediately declared that he would be the witch's first guest.

The shaman replied, "I only count those with a predestined connection; the person destined for today has not yet arrived."

The wealthy businessman could only regretfully say that he would come again next time.

After watching the wealthy businessman leave.

The shaman sat on the wooden chair, watching the crystal ball begin to glow, and he saw many images.

Although they all vanished in a flash.

However, he was extremely inspired, and even from just a few fragmented and chaotic images, he still gleaned some clues and glimpsed a corner of fate.

The sorcerer's strange abilities are somewhat similar to the Weird Eye."

They are both types that allow one to predict the future.

One is to see some future scenes through the "Weird Eye".

One method is to obtain clues through divination, thereby predicting the future.

However, the level of the Weird Eye is too low, and its ability to predict the future is limited, mainly focusing on events that will happen in the near future; it cannot predict anything further.

The strangeness of the shamanic contract lies in its wide predictive scope; basically, whatever the shaman wants to divine, the corresponding result can be obtained.

It also has a name that isn't exactly eerie: Knowable Fate.

Its name, indeed, reflects its capabilities.

Although this shop is located on a corner of the commercial street, it is still part of the commercial street.

The rent for such a shop would be a considerable sum, yet the wealthy businessman gave it to Wu without batting an eye.

One reason was to express gratitude for being saved, and the other, of course, was to take a liking to the shaman's power.

Putting everything else aside, forming a good relationship with such a person is like having an extra lifeline if you encounter anything strange next time.

There have always been people who wanted to take over this store.

However, it had been held by a wealthy businessman who was waiting for a better price to sell it, but today it suddenly changed hands, was quickly renovated, and quietly opened for business.

Unlike other newly opened shops that advertise extensively, there were no flower baskets displayed at the entrance; it was so quiet that it seemed as if it weren't a newly opened shop at all.

"That's strange. This shop wasn't open when I came here before."

A stylishly dressed girl and her friends had just finished shopping and were looking for a place to rest when they saw this quietly opened shop.

Fate Divination Shop?

"Lily, let's go to that coffee shop across the street."

Lily: "I'm a little curious, I wonder if that fortune telling is accurate?"

"Oh, these things are all scams."

"Just give it a try. If it doesn't work, we won't come back next time."

Lily's companion couldn't dissuade her, so she had no choice but to accompany her into the store.

The atmosphere in the store was very well done.

At least the chattering group quieted down considerably once they entered.

They turned their heads and looked around.

Under the dim light, the light projected onto the wall was very faint, not enough to illuminate the entire wall.

But even in this dim environment, some mysterious writing on the walls glowed in the darkness.

"Oh my god, they're moving."

"Is this a projector? Or is there some kind of chemical coating on the wall?"

The group of people curiously crowded around the wall to take a look.

There was no unusual smell, nor was there any light projected from the projector.

The words on the wall seemed to flow, even a little mischievously, disappearing in a leap just as they reached out to grab them, as if they were alive.

They gasped again.

"That's amazing! How did they do that?"

"Holographic projection?"

Lily watched with amusement as her companion insisted on finding a scientific explanation; she could only say, "Truly a staunch materialist."

Even in such a bizarre environment, one must maintain one's unwavering faith.

They keep saying that the eerie is a peculiar creature.

Lily walked towards the long table in the middle.

This place is very large.

There seemed to be some strange and unusual things on the shelves, but in the dim light, she couldn't make out what they looked like.

"Excuse me, is anyone home?"

"Hold on."

The witch emerged from behind the shelves.

When Lily saw the witch come out, she couldn't help but start to sized up the fortune teller.

His mysterious Eastern face made it difficult for her to guess his age.

But her face doesn't look youthful anymore; she's probably already an adult?

The fortune teller from the East was dressed in a very beautiful wizard's robe, which Lily found quite peculiar and mysterious.

Her hair was as black as ink, a mysterious black, and her purple pupils shone brightly in the darkness, like a priceless purple gemstone.

This fortune teller is really handsome. I wonder if he has a girlfriend?

Lily thought to herself that she should ask for the other person's contact information after the divination.

What do you want to have divined?

Lily snapped out of her daze and found the other person sitting on the wooden chair, facing her.
