This mysteriously dressed fortune teller speaks with a unique intonation, and his voice rises slightly at the end.

Lily blushed slightly, thinking the other person's voice was also very pleasant.

"I've been experiencing some very strange things lately."

Lily paused for a moment. Actually, she had told others about it, but they all thought she was overthinking it.

After a few times, she no longer wanted to tell anyone about it.

Now she's being asked to open her heart to a complete stranger, a fortune teller whose abilities are questionable, even if...

The shaman did not interrupt her, but looked at her, gesturing for her to continue.

Lily glanced at the fortune teller's handsome face and said she was fine with it; what was the big deal about just opening her heart?

Lily organized her thoughts and then voiced all the questions she had.

Lily's companions kept looking at the oddly shaped items on the shelves, stopping to admire anything that caught their eye.

"Is Lily talking about that?"

"It's not that we don't believe Lily. After what happened to Lily, we went to our advisor, who then reported it to that mysterious department. Their people came and searched our school."

They found nothing.

"It must be because of the pressure of writing your thesis lately."

"Oh, my poor Lily."

They took Lily out shopping to relieve Lily excessive stress, hoping it would help her relax a bit.

Lily: "I swear I saw those things, even though I only saw them once."

As Lily spoke, she appeared somewhat distraught, as if she were reliving the scene, which frightened her once again.

She always felt that she had encountered something strange.

However, she couldn't explain why she hadn't been harmed by the strange phenomenon. Special agents had come to the school to investigate, but ultimately found nothing.

Therefore, everyone else believed that Lily's excessive academic pressure led to neurasthenia and hallucinations.

Perhaps it was because the shaman's expression was too calm, or perhaps it was because his gaze towards Lily wasn't filled with the suspicion and distrust of others.

Lily's emotions gradually calmed down.

Lily knew that those who doubted her simply hadn't seen it. Without witnessing it firsthand, they couldn't understand her fear and unease.

Her companions initially believed her, but after the special forces arrived and failed to find the anomaly she described, they became worried that she might be experiencing mental problems and hallucinations.

Her companions cared about her and stayed by her side after she told them she had encountered something strange, never leaving her alone.

She actually hoped she was just under too much pressure. If such things really existed at school, would they harm her classmates?

Thinking of this, Lily said to the fortune teller, "This is what I want to know: what exactly am I encountering?"

Is it a hallucination caused by excessive stress?

Or did I actually encounter something like that before?

The witch gently pushed the soft pillow under the crystal ball towards her. "Now, place your hands on it and think about what you want to divine."

Do you use a crystal ball for divination?

Lily pondered to herself, this was a very common method of divination, but didn't other diviners use crystal balls for their own divination?

Why is she the one being asked to participate here?

Although Lily was puzzled, she still placed her hand on the object as the witch instructed.

The temperature was low, and the surface of the crystal ball outside was icy cold. As soon as her hand touched it, she involuntarily shivered from the cold.

The divination ceremony here has already begun.

Lily's companions gathered around Lily, watching the entire divination process with great curiosity.

Lily's thoughts were initially jumbled, but after her hands were frozen by the crystal ball, her mind quickly cleared away the chaotic thoughts.

The image of what she had seen at that time flashed through her mind, and she silently wondered, "I want to know, what was that thing, and why did it come looking for me?"

Under the astonished gaze of her and her companions, the crystal ball in Lily's hand began to emit a shimmering light.

Wow! It's starting to glow.

"How amazing."

What's the principle behind this?

"Could this fortune teller be a truly skilled master?"

Afraid of disturbing the divination ceremony, Lily's companions dared not speak loudly. They huddled together and whispered, their voices barely louder than a mosquito's buzz.

Compared to her companions who could only observe, Lily's feelings were much more pronounced.

Following the faint guidance from the crystal ball, she closed her eyes, and then she returned once again to the place where she first encountered that thing.

This time, she floated in the air, having shed the fear and panic of the moment, and observed the entire process like an outsider.

Then she discovered something even stranger.

The appearance of that thing seemed to be aimed at her, but it didn't intend to harm her; it merely wanted to scare her.

Can there be such friendly beings even in the realm of the supernatural?

Lily noticed that the scene had changed again.

The monster disappeared.

Instead, a male classmate from the same department stood there and confessed his feelings to Lily.

The other person was very tall and strong, and was a handsome guy in the department, but Lily didn't like that type of boy, so she politely declined.

The other person was also very gentlemanly; after hearing her refusal, he quickly left without lingering.

The surroundings darkened.

Soon, Lily emerged from the unseen force guiding her and opened her eyes.

She was still reeling from the incredible power she had felt, her eyes filled with awe.

"Lily?"

Her companions, seeing her eyes open and motionless, called her name with some concern.

"Lily, what's wrong?"

Hearing her companion calling her, Lily snapped out of her shock. She shook her head at her companion, "I'm fine, I'm just... just too surprised."

"You can't comprehend the shock... It was even more incredible than when I first saw that thing. I mean, it wasn't my imagination, I'm sure of it."

Oh my God!

"Lily, are you telling the truth? If it wasn't a hallucination, could it really be something supernatural?"

Why didn't the special departments find it?

"They haven't been able to conquer a single Dungeon after all this time; perhaps their abilities aren't sufficient."

"What should we do? What if some strange creature really has its eye on Lily? Will something happen to Lily?"

Her companions rushed forward and hugged her, feeling sorry for what had happened to her.

Lily hugged her companion, comforted her for a few moments, and then looked at the witch somewhat embarrassedly.
