Chapter 2442

Ai De Hua Zi felt somewhat excited.

Ma Li Si, a mysterious and ancient Gypsy witch. No one knows her name; everyone calls her Ma Li Si.

Ai De Hua Zi also obtained Ma Li Si's contact information through a chance opportunity, but he had never contacted this magical witch.

There are many legends about Ma Li Si, and even the earliest legends date back to World War II. The Allied forces encountered the A Deng Counteroffensive; the weather was poor, and the air advantage could not be utilized. Several generals in the headquarters were at a loss.

At that time, a staff officer was said to have an ambiguous relationship with the young Ma Li Si; he voiced his worries. With the help of love, Ma Li Si used her crystal ball to see the future, just as later written in the book, with almost no deviation.

Of course, Mr. Ai De Hua Zi thought this was just a rumor spread by word of mouth; everyone liked hearing these mysterious things, including many scientists who also believed them.

Ai De Hua Zi originally had no interest in this.

However, under fate's arrangement, upon learning that the fruits of his later life would be discarded along with losing the Nobel Prize, abandoned by capital, everything was like a bubble that bursts at a poke—shattered with a pop, leaving no trace.

His heart was completely broken.

At this time, he chose to believe Ma Li Si. No matter the cost, Mr. Ai De Hua Zi was willing.

It is said that these witches of Ma Li Si each time they use the crystal ball to see the future, they pay with their lives.

Nothing can buy life, so Mr. Ai De Hua Zi was not sure whether the mysterious Ma Li Si could help him.

Connecting the video, the background seemed to be an ancient castle. The crystal ball before him flashed with a clear luster; Mr. Ai De Hua Zi only glanced at it and felt he had already fallen under its spell.

Behind the crystal ball was a person completely wrapped in a black robe, with a hood covering head and face. From appearance, one could absolutely not tell their gender.

"Are you looking for me?" a gloomy voice came from behind the robe, and Mr. Ai De Hua Zi involuntarily shivered.

After hearing Ma Li Si speak, Ai De Hua Zi felt his vitality drained by that crystal ball radiating brilliance.

She spoke in halting English, which Mr. Ai De Hua Zi could barely understand.

Trying to keep a smile, Ai De Hua Zi leaned on his cane, stood up, and bowed, saying, "Respected Ms. Ma Li Si, please forgive my disturbance."

"Time is for wandering, my child." Ma Li Si's voice came through. At the same time, the crystal ball emitted a faint yet indelible light.

Ai De Hua Zi felt his heart pricked by that ray of light, as if his angina pectoris had worsened.

"State your humble request." the black-cloaked mysterious person said lightly.

"I want to know if I can receive the Nobel Prize this year." Ai De Hua Zi asked in a trembling voice.

Next, Ms. Ma Li Si should tell him what price he must pay to see the near future, Ai De Hua Zi thought.

The time is not far—only a little over two months—and he hoped the price would be small. After his anger subsided, he began to calm down.

Even if he knew the future, what could he do?

Change? Facing Ke Li of the Bruhl Family, what could he change?

If the price is high, he would refuse; looking at the black robe, the mysterious and ancient crystal ball, Ai De Hua Zi did not want to continue dealing with her.

He was already in his twilight years; living a bit longer wouldn't be bad. Ai De Hua Zi even worried that Ms. Ma Li Si would use her own life to complete some mysterious and bizarre ritual, using the crystal ball before her to see an unchangeable future.

Child, praise your good fortune. Someone has already come to me about this matter; now I know the answer. Ma Li Si's gloomy voice came over.

Edwards was stunned for a moment, someone had already looked into it? The people who care about this matter are really many.

You don't need to pay with your life; you are truly a fortunate child.

Edwards was overjoyed, he immediately asked: "What price? Money? How much?"

The crystal ball opposite the screen flickered with light, as that eerie light pulsed in and out, Edwards seemed to realize something.

"I will transfer the money to you right away." After saying that, Edwards waved, calling his assistant over.

An extra email appeared in the inbox, containing a bank account from some bank.

Anything that can be solved with money is trivial, Edwards thought.

"Child, I can tell you the answer first." Ma Li Si said: "My life fire has become weak after the recent divination; I need time to rest."

This year you will not get the Nobel Prize you want.

After saying that, the screen's signal was cut off. The flickering light of the crystal ball became the last trace of light, lingering on Edwards's retina.

It was like the sun burning up its last bit of energy, vanishing into the vast universe.

Edwards felt a bit dazed, really not possible? He slumped down weakly, his cane "pa" sound hitting the ground.

"Ma Li Si, you are deceiving those poor little ones again." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian sat elegantly to the side, watching the light in the crystal ball disappear, smiling as he spoke.

"Master Ke Li, we are a wandering people, without a fixed abode. To guarantee our livelihood, to guarantee our people can survive, we must use money."

Ma Li Si placed her hand on the crystal ball and said. Her hand had no fat at all; especially when her hand moved, one could faintly see the muscles' activity and the color of the bones.

"Damn it, take your hand off the crystal ball." Although Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian uttered a coarse word, his expression remained as elegant as ever; he even raised his glass, the bright red liquid inside swaying slightly.

"Master Ke Li, is what you said true?" Ma Li Si asked hoarsely.

"Of course, I still remember how you looked dancing by the bonfire many years ago, before you became a witch." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian laughed: "Moreover, I told you a not-so-secret secret, so you can have a meager income."

"You still remember what I looked like at five? I've forgotten it myself."

"You know the members of the Bruhl Family have exceptionally good memory." Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian said: "Can you take off that black cloth? Looking at that black cloth makes me feel uncomfortable all over; I always feel you might disappear at any moment."

As you wish.

A pair of skeleton-like hands stretched out, gripping the sides of the wide black hood, then pulled the hood off.

A skeleton appeared before Thus term: Thus term: Kelisidian.

Like a medical school's skeleton specimen, yet different. With each breath, muscles faintly contract and relax, visible, but her muscles are too weak, appearing as if there were none.
