There are no windows or lights around the room. The only source of external light is the small skylight on the ceiling.
The faint sunlight shines through the skylight and onto the black "thorn demon statue" that is almost three meters high directly below.
On both sides of the iron gate behind the crowd, there is a two-meter-high "White Knight Statue", which seems to echo the thorn demon statue opposite.
I have to say, this room does give people a feeling of... a fortune teller.
"Kimiko, we have guests."
Directly below the skylight, there is a long table with a crystal ball and various books on it. Next to the table sits an old woman wearing glasses, reading a book with the help of the weak sunlight.
The old woman had short wavy hair dyed brown-red, her face was full of wrinkles, she wore thick lipstick on her lips, and she wore heart-shaped pendants on her ears and neck.
She was a bit plump and wore a pink women's suit. Her plump belly made the suit bulk up, which further highlighted her middle-aged body.
This old lady should be the "Black Witch" - Kimiko Arai.
It looks like she is a vain person who doesn't know how to dress up...
This was the first feeling in Wu Wanying's heart.
Chapter 104 Your future is full of fog
Just like the "Death" fortune teller in another portrait in the hall, Kimiko Arai's body is also covered with luxury brands designed by Ed Company.
Her earrings, necklace, and suit all had the heart-shaped logo of the design theme of Aide Company this year. As for whether it was a limited edition, she was not sure...
Wu Wanying doesn't really understand this fanatical pursuit of the so-called "high-end feeling".
Her grandfather taught her since she was young that every bit of strength she exerted must be put to good use and she must never do anything foolish and wasteful.
In her opinion, such so-called pursuit is essentially a boring waste, which has no meaning other than to indulge one's inner desires.
"Ah! I still can't see clearly! Do I need to change my glasses again?!"
In the room, Kimiko Arai seemed not to notice the people coming in. She was flipping through the book in her hands in annoyance, complaining loudly.
"Hmm, seems like he's a person who gets angry easily..." Suzuki Sonoko was startled and complained in a low voice.
"Kimiko."
Daijiro Arai walked forward and patted Kimiko on the shoulder.
"What?!" Kimiko looked up and shouted impatiently. Due to the size of Arai Daijiro, she could not see the people standing next to the iron gate.
"Calm down, we have a guest."
"I told you! I won't see anyone without a reservation!"
"It was Miss Suzuki from before, and her friend."
"Ms. Suzuki?!"
At this time, Daijiro Arai moved aside, and Suzuki Sonoko behind him also greeted her in time.
"Um, Black Witch Teacher, good afternoon..."
"Oh! It's Ms. Suzuki!"
Kimiko pushed up her glasses, and after seeing Suzuki Sonoko's face clearly, she quickly stood up, walked forward, and shook her hand enthusiastically.
"Really? Since you've already made an appointment, why don't you just come and see me? These are all Ms. Suzuki's friends, right? Okay, stop standing, come in and sit down... Daijiro, quickly bring the stool over."
"Eh? Well, no need, we can do it ourselves..."
"It's okay, it's okay. Come, please take a seat. I wonder what Ms. Suzuki wants me to tell you about?"
"Uh, that, love..."
Behind her, Suzuki Ayako watched this scene, turned to look at Shizumi Shizuka beside her, and sighed with a smile:
"Jingjun, Yuanzi is still so popular..."
Upon hearing this, Shizuka Shizuka just nodded slightly, her eyes still fixed on Kimiko Arai who was fortune-telling for Suzuki Sonoko.
[Is that her? She looks like an ordinary old lady...]
Forget it...
Anyway, no one wanted her to kill him, she just came to confirm the situation at the scene...
"Jingjun, are we going to do some divination later?"
Seeing that Shizuka Shizuka was staring at Kimiko, Suzuki Ayako asked softly.
"I don't think we'll need this kind of divination."
Qing Shuijing raised her hand to push the hair away from her face, her voice gentle.
"Well, that's right..."
Perhaps because there were younger friends here, Suzuki Ayako was a little shy. She lowered her head and pulled Shimizu Jing to sit on a chair in the corner.
"Shall we wait for them here?"
"it is good."
On the other side, Kimiko had finished her divination for Suzuki Sonoko. She asked Suzuki Sonoko to take back her hand that was pressing on the crystal ball, still with that very bright smile on her face.
"Ms. Suzuki, fate tells me that your future husband has actually already met you."
"Huh? Have you encountered this before?!"
Suzuki Sonoko was so surprised that she stood up subconsciously, her tone a little nervous.
"Well, well, he he he..."
"Fate says that he is a very good man, and in the near future, fate will lead him to meet you again..."
"Really, really?!"
"The guidance of fate is absolutely true."
"Ahem... in the near future? Hehehe..."
Revealing a crazy look, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly turned around, grabbed Karasuma Ei and Mao Li Ran, and shouted happily:
"Xiao Lan and A Ying! I think the black witch's divination is very accurate! You guys should also do some divination!"
"Uh, that..."
"it is good."
After gently squeezing the hand of the still hesitant Mao Lilan, Karasuma Ying nodded first, then sat down on the chair opposite Kimiko.
Seeing Suzuki Sonoko so happy, Karasuma Ying didn't want to spoil her fun. She just hoped that her best friend could use the psychological hints of this divination to find her ideal candidate in the near future...
"Then Miss Ying, what do you want to predict?" Kimiko asked with a smile, letting Karasuma Ying put her hand on the crystal ball.
Miss Suzuki's friends, of course, have to be treated well.
"Well... let's talk about the future." After thinking for a while, Karasuma Ying replied.
She had no need to predict love, and she didn't seem to have any pursuit of wealth or dreams. What she really wanted to ask was not easy to say, so she could only give a general statement like "the future".
"The future?"
Kimiko was not bothered by Karasuma Ying's question. She raised her hands and began to "cast a spell" on the crystal ball. She closed her eyes and whispered some incantation quickly.
Then after a while, she stopped and looked at Wu Wanying with some embarrassment.
"Ms. Ying, fate tells me that your future is full of fog."
"Huh?" Wu Wanying was stunned and a little surprised.
Mist?
Shouldn't it be something like the future is bright and the prospects are broad?
"Yes, fate says that there is a very powerful force around you. Although you haven't discovered it yet, it is always affecting your future.
The fog of this power obscures your future, and even your destiny is hard to see clearly. The true direction depends on your heart..."
Hearing Kimiko's ambiguous words, Karasuma Ying's gaze towards her became increasingly serious. Even Shimizu Shizuka, who was sitting in the back, looked over at this moment, with a hint of surprise flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Is it a coincidence?
After comparing Kimiko's words with the things around her, Karasumaying's heart was already in turmoil.
[The future, the fog, the heart...it should just be a coincidence, right?]
"Amazing!"
At this moment, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Mist and the future! This is so suitable for your identity as a detective, Ying!
Find the only future that exists in the thick fog! I! Am the world's strongest female high school detective, Karasuma Ying! "
"detective?"
Kimiko was suddenly surprised when she heard these words from Suzuki Sonoko who was still posing, and she looked at Karasuma Ying in front of her with great surprise.
"Miss Ying, are you a detective?"
"That's right! Ying is currently the most powerful high school female detective in Japan!"
"Um, Sonoko, stop talking..." Karasuma Ying's face turned slightly red, and she pulled the corner of her clothes embarrassedly.
"I see, Miss Ying is the Karasuma detective who has been appearing frequently in police newspapers recently..."
Kimiko pushed up her glasses. She seemed to have finally recognized Karasuma Ying's identity. She hesitated and spoke tentatively:
"Well, Miss Ying, I wonder if I can entrust you with something..."
As she finished her words, in the corner of the room, Qing Shuijing looked at her again, her eyes slightly narrowed.
Deep in his eyes, a silent murderous intent flashed by.
It's magic. Some book friends have asked before, since characters from the Phantom Thieves appear in this book, will there be supernatural phenomena such as magic later?
It will definitely happen, but it won't be particularly exaggerated. At most, it will be prophecy or divination. This aspect is reflected (for example, in this chapter, Kimiko Arai performed divination on Karasuma Ying and Suzuki Sonoko)
There will never be a situation where you roll magic balls with your hands or fly in the sky on a broom.
