Chapter 307: The Final Divination (Seeking Monthly Votes)

~7 min read 1,316 words

Behind the Gate of Hell.

Inside the deepest room of the prison.

Ms. "Fireworks" was lying on a soft chair, with that black notebook and a pot of steaming black tea placed beside her hand.

Several Extraordinary individuals were also standing opposite her, and the one leading them was none other than "Philosopher" Xisituosi!

"... The matter this time is too significant; we must ask you to perform a divination once more. Use the Prophecy Book, and under the protection of the Spear of the Sun King, beseech the power of the Era-God to perform the highest-level divination."

Xisituosi and Yagebu bowed deeply: "This is for the kingdom!"

"Yes... for the kingdom."

Hearing this, a look of unbearable pity appeared on Fiona's face.

Her hair had already turned gray, her palms had become withered, and her skin was full of wrinkles, as if she had lost all her youthful vitality in an instant.

Beseeching the Era-God through a ritual inevitably comes with risks!

Light and Shadow overlapped, revealing a clear scene.

Crack!

Flames... devoured the entire Investigation Bureau headquarters!

Fiona sighed silently; as a "Diviner" specifically cultivated by the Investigation Bureau, Ms. "Fireworks" actually did not have much of a choice.

A gentleman dressed in a brown long-buttoned suit and a top hat, looking extremely dapper, wore a white mask on his face, covering the area above his two beautiful little mustaches.

His mouth split open to the roots of his ears, revealing two rows of sharp teeth: "The best delicacies should be enjoyed by a Gourmet!"

Numerous lights and shadows condensed into a second or two; apart from Non-human Existences with extraordinary eyesight, few could see these rapidly passing figures clearly.

'Could it be that just a single prayer drew an automatic response from the power of the "Faceless One"?'

If she were anywhere else, perhaps she would have escaped directly into the Spirit World and teleported away!

Xisituosi remained silent, only silently communicating with the Spear of the Sun King, causing pure white light to fall.

"We beseech the 'Faceless One', the God of Ten Thousand Faces; He shall reveal the truth!"

Her voice also became hoarse, but she remained composed: "I saw the pitch-black Night Curtain; that is the power of the Era-God... Mortals peeking at the Era-God are guilty! I saw my own death... and I also saw the date the 'Blood Garment Club' will attack the Investigation Headquarters... it is tonight!"

The Prophecy Book struggled to turn to the next page.

Finally, all abnormalities dissipated, leaving only the limp Ms. "Fireworks" in place.

The black hard-covered notebook she held in her hand was an Angel-level Magical Item—the Prophecy Book!

At this moment, all conditions had been met; Ms. "Fireworks" fluently drew the Ritual Array, lit the Candle, and chanted the sacrificial text in an ethereal tone:

Whoosh!

"Fireworks," whose face was constantly changing, flipped through the Prophecy Book in her hand; the black notebook turned its pages automatically, suddenly arriving at a brand-new, snow-white page.

Fiona, who was present, had already turned her gaze away, unable to bear it.

The "Faceless One" is a very strange Era-God; He has ten thousand incarnations, yet no one has ever seen His true face.

These Extraordinary individuals were well-trained; they tied a pile of explosives to the steam locomotive of the subway and started the train amidst cheers.

That was a secret platform; it led to the main gate of the Investigation Bureau entrance.

She knew very well that Ms. "Fireworks"'s body was already in poor condition, and performing the highest-level divination again might lead directly to her death!

Xisituosi and his group, along with herself, were the murderers!

But when facing major events that could endanger the kingdom, the Investigation Bureau still chose to sacrifice this Diviner without hesitation.

Now that the Investigation Bureau itself was about to be destroyed, what did a mere Diviner count for?

Ms. "Fireworks" stood up; there was not a trace of her shadow on the ground. She scanned the crowd, her tone calm: "I am not a member of the 'Shadowless Cult'; the 'Faceless One' may not respond to my request every time... but I will try my best."

The Prophecy Book slammed shut, like a beast closing its blood-red maw full of fangs.

Men, women... all kinds of faces flashed by one after another. At this moment, Ms. "Fireworks" seemed to become anyone, yet she was the only one she was not.

Xisituosi uttered a sentence, then immediately turned and left with his people without hesitation, and a shrill alarm sounded immediately.

The aspects best at divination are "Light," "Darkness"... and "Shadow."

Xisituosi looked at this scene, but frowned.

"It is the 'Blood Garment Club'; behind it is the 'Gourmet Association'!"

Ms. "Fireworks"'s calm eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest.

"Thank you!"

A man's, a woman's, an old person's, a child's...

Yagebu muttered: "If Ms. "Fireworks" joined an organization like the 'Shadowless Cult', she would surely be treated as a Saintess, right?"

Ms. "Fireworks" was clearly not a "Mechanical Mentor," nor was she a "Dark Beast"; she was a "Shadowless One"!

It was no wonder the Investigation Bureau opened a residence for her deep within the "Gate of Hell," where the seal of the Spear of the Sun King was strongest.

It seemed that in this instant, many people were cruelly murdered or encountered even more terrifying things.

"'Fireworks,' we need more information; it would be best to also divine the speech of Pope Ferret!"

Rustle!

Immediately, this corpse was discarded on the ground, a large number of Investigation Bureau headquarters buildings were destroyed, and one investigator after another died or was surrounded and devoured by Ghoul Servants...

At the same time, He rarely responded to the prayers of believers; even the automatic feedback of power was extremely rare.

Just as a Spirit World Incantation left her lips, Xisituosi's expression changed.

Plymouth, subway platform.

Ms. "Fireworks" had a calm expression, as if nothing in the world could move her.

It arrived at a plaza, where on a Rain Flower Stone podium guarded by soldiers, Pope Feiliete in a magnificent purple robe waved kindly to the crowd beneath, while behind him, there was a dense, impenetrable Shadow!

The Shadow was like a curtain, slowly pulling open, revealing...

Numerous Ritual Arrays exploded, and the face of Ms. 'Fireworks' instantly became blurred, emitting screams of various sounds.

Yagebu gritted his teeth: "Are these damned scavengers the main force attacking the Investigation Bureau?"

Another man in black dressed as a clown pulled hard on the lever controlling the tracks, causing the rails to shift in a brand-new direction.

The next second, it turned into the appearance of an old man again.

But the Spear of the Sun King could undoubtedly isolate the danger, especially for them outside the Ritual, it was the greatest Protection.

Xisituosi's expression changed; he saw his own corpse!

The chest of the corpse wearing a simple robe had a clear piercing wound, and a large amount of blood gushed out, staining the robe red.

Someone like Ms. 'Fireworks' could be said to be incomparably rare.

In an instant, the scene changed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the appetizer has been finished; next, it is time for the main course!"

Gentlemen and ladies who looked as if they were going to attend a banquet howled, tore apart the subway security guards maintaining order, and occupied the entire platform.

He saw a blur over the face of Ms. 'Fireworks', as if it had turned into the face of a child.

Fiona looked at Ms. 'Fireworks', who was in the guise of an old woman, feeling a bit reluctant, but she gritted her teeth and left, preparing to throw herself into the battle.

She knew that after suffering the Backlash from this divination, the life of Ms. 'Fireworks' was also about to come to an end...
