Fate Will Favor You
Mike was gripped by an unprecedented panic.
He even waved his arms wildly, trying to drive away the demons that were haunting him.
However, all his efforts were in vain.
His arm didn't even touch the black mist.
Just as he couldn't see the black mist, he couldn't touch those things either.
However, this did not put him at ease; on the contrary, it made him even more fearful.
Just because Mike can't touch these demons doesn't mean they won't harm him.
"Help me, fortune teller!"
The shaman flicked the crystal ball, which rolled across his palm. "I'm just a fortune teller," he said.
Mike said in despair, "Then can you tell me how to deal with these demons?"
He thought of his mother, and of the somewhat eerie statue he had once seen.
Suddenly, all these things connected, "Could it be... that wasn't a deity at all, and Mother was worshipping a demon as a god?!"
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he was possessed by a demon, and why his mother's mental state was deteriorating; it must also be caused by the demon!
Mike looked at the witch and tentatively asked, "If I smash that idol, will these demons leave?"
The crystal ball in the witch's hand rippled, and a scene vaguely appeared on it: Mike, standing in front of the idol, holding a hammer with a look of fear on his face, raising it high and then smashing it down hard.
Bang!
The statue's head was smashed to the ground by the hammer, rolling away a long distance.
Even more bizarrely, blood kept oozing out from the broken gap in the statue.
It was as if this statue of a god had a life of its own.
The statue's head turned on the ground, its eyes fixed on Mike, who was holding a hammer, and a chilling smile appeared on its face.
The next moment, as if he had lost his mind, Mike smashed the hammer in his hand against his own head.
Mike saw his head explode like a watermelon on the crystal ball, with red and white fragments scattering all over the ground.
Finally, unable to hold on any longer, her legs buckled, and she collapsed to the ground.
He abandoned the idea of smashing the idol.
But it also confirmed one thing for him: that statue—no, it wasn't a statue at all, it was a demon! How bizarre!
And he actually spent so much time in the same room with such a terrifying thing; no wonder he got entangled with it.
Mike took out his phone and told his family not to come home, but he hesitated when he wanted to call his mother.
He recalled his mother's fanatical attitude and felt that she had been bewitched by the devil. Mike was afraid of disturbing her and causing something he didn't want to happen.
What should we do?
Mike's helpless instinct led him to seek help from a fortune teller.
The fortune teller said, "People say there's no going back, but for me, it always exists."
A "regret pill," a pill that allows you to start over, but such a time-related pill is impossible.
Mike suddenly thought of something: divination, prophecy.
This is the ability to foresee the future; the answer has always been here. How could he be so foolish as not to realize it?
So he looked at the crystal ball.
That crystal ball was incredibly magical. Whenever a thought arose in his mind, even though he didn't say it aloud, the image on it would change accordingly.
Some thoughts lead to positive developments, while others can lead to utter ruin.
This gave him the most peculiar experience.
He can make countless choices and try countless things here without worrying about failure, because the crystal ball will reflect the result of each of his choices.
This is equivalent to him possessing the legendary "regret pill," allowing him to choose the best outcome that is most beneficial to him and causes the least harm.
Although frequently looking at the crystal ball caused him to have a headache, extreme mental fatigue, and his body felt completely drained and very weak.
But Mike achieved the best course of action and the best outcome.
This also made him personally experience how terrifying fortune tellers can be.
With such abilities, is there anything in the world he doesn't know?
The diviner can see the development and future of countless things through a crystal ball, and can avoid trouble and seek good fortune. As long as he wants, no trouble can find him; he can turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.
"Fortune teller..."
Mike bowed deeply to the sorcerer, who had saved his life and found a solution.
He paid a considerable fee for the divination.
Then, full of confidence, I left the fortune-telling shop.
Using the images he saw through the crystal ball, Mike, as if he had a cheat code, quickly tracked down the sect his mother belonged to.
A cult that claims to be blessed by gods and can grant people immortality, eternal life, power, wealth, and authority—anything you desire.
That's right, in Mike's view, this is a cult.
The so-called gods were nothing but strange imposters who used bizarre abilities to deceive and brainwash these people.
Mike knew he was just an ordinary person with no special abilities. In the crystal ball, he had seen far too many people who wanted to fight against that idol, only to meet bizarre and tragic ends.
This was merely a statue, an insignificant item bestowed upon one of the believers by that organization.
He had already tried more than thirty ways to die before he found a way to deal with it.
In reality, he only has one life; once he dies, he has nothing left.
"Eternal Kingdom, I will never let you go!"
Mike completely changed his introverted and unsociable personality. It was as if his fate had been altered after he stepped into that fortune-telling shop, and he was reborn.
Mike joined Australia's Special Investigation Team.
They used information from the Eternal Kingdom as a stepping stone.
He successfully made contact with the people of the Eternal Kingdom by relying on his mother, a believer who had been brainwashed.
And they successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks.
It was all because of that fortune teller.
When Mike's colleagues learned of his deeds, they were all amazed.
[Ding! The Witch's Character Perfection has increased by 5%!]
[Unlock Special Ability: Scales of Fate (Perfect). When you place a sufficiently heavy price on one side of fate, fate will tilt in your favor. You possess the power to influence destiny—a miracle.]
Shen Yu curiously studied the newly unlocked special ability. Compared to the first special ability, which was divination, this second special ability was even more mysterious.
He used this ability.
An exquisite white balance scale appeared out of thin air, with nothing on either side.
Shen Yu curiously adjusted the weights on it, and then a message appeared in his mind.
