Chapter 927: Wanted to Open the Third Eye But Failed
Another beauty pageant with nothing to show for it ended, and Broly went on a date with Mosquito Girl, who was responsible for organizing the pageant.
"Broly, I'm going to buy milk tea. What flavor do you want?"
Mosquito Girl spotted a milk tea shop across the street and asked Broly beside her.
"Same flavor as you is fine."
"Then let's share a cup."
"Remember to buy a few extra cups."
"Got it, I won't forget Vivian and Fubuki's."
"And Tatsumaki."
Mosquito Girl didn't look back, just made an OK gesture.
"Handsome young man, are you interested in having a divination done?"
Broly stood by the street waiting for Mosquito Girl to return when someone suddenly came up to strike a conversation.
The speaker wore silk clothes, looking like a witch.
And not far away, there was a small divination shop; it should be someone drumming up business.
"Is your divination accurate?"
"Look at what you're saying. If it weren't accurate, how would we open our doors for business?"
"Fine, then I'll go have a divination done."
"Bang~"
At the milk tea shop, Mosquito Girl had just finished paying when she heard a loud explosion outside.
"What happened?"
Mosquito Girl ran out and saw Broly walking out of a shop burning with black smoke; she went up close to ask.
"This is a black divination shop. Just now they pulled me in for a divination. I did the divination, but the other party's result was inaccurate.
I said so directly, but the other party claimed this was divine guidance, said that daring to question the divination result was blasphemy, and demanded a large divination fee from me.
We got into an argument. That cultist then monsterized right in front of me and attacked me directly. I struck back in return.
As a result, the crystal ball in her hand exploded, blowing up the shop. Good thing I put up a ki cloak in time, otherwise the clothes you bought me would've gotten dirty————"
Broly roughly explained what had just happened in the divination shop.
"No way, monsterizing right in front of you, an S-Class Hero, and actively attacking you — how did they dare?"
Mosquito Girl's expression was somewhat dazed.
"Maybe the other party hasn't kept up with personnel changes in the hero industry."
Broly shrugged, not caring much about this small episode.
"By the way, Broly, what did you divine just now?"
On the way back, Mosquito Girl was a bit curious.
"Marriage fate."
"And the result?"
"The guy who got blown up said I have a love calamity on me. If I continue maintaining intimate relations with you all, it will bring disaster to everyone."
"That's nonsense, right?"
"The other party also said if I want to resolve this calamity, I must humbly accept divine guidance and devote myself; only then can I obtain a happy future."
"What a low-grade scam. Speaking of which, isn't this already a cultist?"
In One Punch Man's world, there's no lack of all kinds of strange evil organizations; cults are just one of them.
"Indeed. Oh right, I almost forgot."
"Forgot what?"
"I need to call the Association and explain the situation here, lest rumors spread later that an S-Class Hero tried to freeload a divination and blew up the divination shop directly."
Many heroes, while performing heroic acts, may cause damage to the surrounding environment, and such damage inevitably invites outside questioning and misunderstanding.
The Hero Association's PR Department specializes in handling this, and before a PR crisis appears, the hero's own reporting of damage caused is quite important — it often determines the difficulty for the Association PR Department staff to conduct public relations externally.
Unlike many S-Class Heroes who give the Hero Association PR Department staff endless headaches, this Super Flash, Broly, is the darling of the Hero Association PR Department workers.
The other party rarely causes damage, and even when damage occurs, he proactively reports to Headquarters so they can prepare in advance, greatly reducing the possibility of a PR crisis.
In short, reducing workload.
"Right, Disrespectful, do you know where the world's number one fortune teller, Lady Shibabawa, is now?"
After finishing the report, Broly asked Disrespectful, who answered the phone, another question.
"Uh, Mr. Broly, Lady Shibabawa... isn't she long gone?"
At the Hero Association Headquarters, the questioned Disrespectful was a bit dazed but still answered Broly's question.
"Sorry, I mean, where is the grave where she was buried?"
"Why do you ask this?"
"I've long admired Lady Shibabawa's divination ability and want to go pay my respects."
"Then Mr. Broly, come to Headquarters tomorrow. I'll personally take you there."
"Deal.
Hung up the phone. Beside him, Mosquito Girl asked: "Broly, is this you still wanting to find someone to help divine new capture targets?"
"Mm, today's matter suddenly reminded me of the fortune teller Shibabawa who cooperated with the Association. Heard that her divinations during her lifetime had a hundred percent accuracy rate."
"But a dead person... can they still divine for you?"
"No problem. I'll just go resurrect them."
The next day, Broly went to headquarters and was taken to a high-end cemetery.
"Mr. Broly, this is the cemetery where Master Sibabawa is buried, and the tombstone before your eyes is Master Sibabawa's."
Jinos had just finished introducing, turned around, and saw Broly holding a shovel.
"Mr. Broly, what is this?"
"As you can see, I plan to dig up this grave."
"Ah, but you said yesterday it was because you admired Master Sibabawa and wanted to come pay respects to her?"
"Compared to paying respects, I'd rather see the real person."
""
Broly said nothing more and started digging right away.
In a short while, the coffin was dug up.
After opening the coffin, the corpse inside was merely rotted, but the bones were still intact.
In modern society where cremation is popular, Sibabawa actually still used burial.
"Mr. Broly, you've seen Master Sibabawa, now hurry and bury the coffin back."
Seeing the coffin dug up and opened, Jinos was already somewhat numb; if he had known earlier that Broly had come to dig up a grave and open a coffin, he wouldn't have actively brought people here.
Although Master Sibabawa, this division master, had passed away, her social influence remained; if things here were exposed, Broly, this powerful S-Class Hero, might be fine, but he, this association staff member who led the way, would probably be the one to take the fall.
In response, Broly explained nothing, just raised his hand toward the corpse in the coffin and began chanting resurrection magic.
When the last syllable of the incantation fell, the light of the resurrection magic rose, and the corpse in the coffin regenerated at a visible speed, just like when Deep Sea King was resurrected before.
"Ugh, so stinky, where did you lot take this old woman?"
"Ah, Si-Sibabawa Master?!"
"Jinos kid, what are you doing sitting on the grass, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"
Jinos was completely stunned; someone who had died and been buried in the earth for over two months was now sitting up in the coffin talking normally to him—what else could this be but seeing a ghost?
"Mr. Broly, are you a god?"
His voice trembled slightly as he asked the boy beside him who had caused all this.
"No, I'm just a Saiyan who knows resurrection magic."
Broly shook his head, then looked at the old woman in the coffin.
"Master Sibabawa, forgive me for disturbing your rest; I am Broly, and I would like to ask you to divine my fate."
"Put the divination aside for now; which one of you two can tell this old woman what on earth is going on?"
Broly looked at Jinos, Jinos understood, took a deep breath, and stood up to explain the situation.
"Master Sibabawa, over two months ago, you choked to death on candy."
"Although I don't know how it was done, it should be that Mr. Broly resurrected you."
"Turning you from a rotting corpse into the living person you are now."
"Hahaha, I never expected this old woman to have such an extraordinary experience—choked to death by candy and able to live again, young man, thank you."
"7"
"What about the divination?"
"No problem, leave it to this old woman; however, I reek of corpse stench right now, can this old woman go clean up first?"
"Yes."
"Then I'll make the arrangements."
Half an hour later, Sibabawa slipped and died again in the bathroom of the hotel room.
"Sorry, young man, this old woman is old and her body is useless."
Sibabawa, resurrected once more, wore an apologetic expression on her face.
"It's fine, I understand, hmm, Master Sibabawa, I plan to use some special serum medicine on you; do you agree?"
Broly, not wanting this aged divination master to have another accident due to bodily aging, decisively took out the Youth Serum made by Dr. Jinos from the Crystal Palace Space and asked for her opinion.
"Getting a shot—although this old woman is a bit afraid of shots, after all, I can't keep troubling you, the young man who resurrected me—"
Sibabawa did not refuse; Broly opened the needle of the Youth Serum and plunged it into the artery on the neck of this aged divination master.
The medicine was pushed in, and Sibabawa collapsed to the ground the next moment; Jinos beside him immediately grew nervous, but then he thought of Broly's methods of making the dead live again, and put his heart back in his stomach.
"Ugh, ugh ugh—"
In the hotel bathroom, the fallen old woman made strange sounds from her mouth, while her withered body kept twisting on the ground.
As she twisted, the wrinkled skin on her body turned pale, like a piece of dried tree bark, hanging on the aged other party.
After about half a minute, the other party stopped all sounds and movements as if dead; after another half minute, Jinos asked again: "Mr. Broly, has Master Sibabawa died again?"
"Not dead, just fell asleep; you go get a blanket."
Broly directed Jinos to get things, while he himself squatted down.
When Jinos brought a blanket over, he saw Broly holding a beautiful young woman in his arms.
"Blanket."
"This one."
Jinos hurriedly handed over the blanket, Broly took it and wrapped the woman in his arms.
"Mr. Broly, who is this in your arms?"
1
Jinos asked.
"What do you say?"
Bu Jing followed the youth's gaze and saw a stack of wrinkled, withered skins on the ground nearby.
Looking closely, those weren't withered skins at all — they were clearly a human skin that had been shed.
"The Youth Serum is a result developed from cells extracted from an ancient Basilisk that reportedly swallowed Rejuvenation Grass, capable of causing a molting-like condition in the human body————
That was how Dr. Jinos previously introduced the Youth Serum.
"No way, the old hag not only revived but also had her youth restored?!"
Upon waking, Sibabawa discovered her youth restored and felt her life, which had one foot in the grave, suddenly brighten.
"Young man, oh no, my lord, I, Sibabawa, swear to follow you to the death!"
"No, no need to follow. Just divine for me the fate binding my existence in this world."
"No problem, I'll divine it for you right now, my lord!"
"Then I'll go prepare the Crystal Ball."
"What Crystal Ball? The current me is brimming with energy!"
The young diviner pressed her hands together, and a Spirit Sphere resembling an Energy Bullet manifested between her palms.
"My lord, you have a total of five fate threads in this world."
"Five threads, are you sure?"
"Absolutely certain. Moreover, three fate threads are already deeply entangled with you, belonging to situations that cannot be easily severed.
As for the remaining two, one has had fairly deep contact with you; although there appear to be some twists in the future, the outcome is still not bad."
"Then what about the last remaining one?"
"The last one, from my divination results, you currently shouldn't have made contact with the other party yet, but you will intersect with her in the days to come."
"And the outcome?"
"Uh, divination — divining the past belongs to obtaining confirmed information, which is simpler; but divining the future belongs to prophetic speculation.
The more known information, the more accurate the divination result; but if information is insufficient, I can't say what the outcome will be————"
"Speak clearly."
"I cannot see clearly the future situation between you and the last fate thread."
"Diviner Sibabawa's accuracy rate is a hundred percent, so for uncertain future matters, she absolutely will not make rash pronouncements."
Bu Jing helped explain from the side.
"Since that's the case, can you divine who my last fate thread is, and where?"
"No problem!"
Sibabawa agreed directly and began chanting.
"I see it. The other party is in the Eastern Region, right in Z-City. As for who she is, she is————Pfft—"
The next instant, Sibabawa vomited blood directly and toppled backward.
"What happened?"
Broly reached out to steady the diviner, frowning as he asked.
"The person who shares the last fate thread with you has a taboo on them that forbids divination."
Sibabawa's face was somewhat pale; her restored youthful appearance looked withered.
"What is that?"
"I don't know. I just have an extremely dangerous feeling — if I continue divining, I will definitely encounter some Great Terror."
"But even if you die from divination, I can revive you."
"I know that too, but even knowing this, my feeling still tells me that is a price I cannot endure."
Sibabawa didn't know what the price was, but she could keenly detect that it absolutely wasn't something death and revival could get rid of.
Broly frowned; Sibabawa, for her part, was somewhat worried — someone revived her, even restored her youth, just to have her divine fate, and the result was that she, the world's number one diviner, only divined this much.
"You said I would intersect with the other party in the future, correct?"
"Yes."
"Then that's enough. Thank you, Diviner Sibabawa, for the fate divination you did for me."
If it's a capture target, as long as I encounter her, the Crystal Palace will naturally give a prompt.
If it's not a capture target, just a fate partner divined out, then I don't need to care too much either.
From the current divination results, Sibabawa's divination of his first four fate threads was quite accurate.
