Chapter 287: Unexpected Power

"So, Xia De, is this the reason you came to find me?"

It was still a seemingly ordinary Saturday after the disaster, and the time had come to 11:00 AM. In the divination room on the second floor of the Diviner Association on Silver Cross Avenue, Xia De sat face to face with Luweiya, holding the well-behaved cat.

The association was very cool. The purple-eyed diviner had a teacup in front of her, holding the divination commission form Xia De had just filled out at the front desk, and asked with great annoyance:

"Do you want me to emphasize it again? Xia De, I said it last time, your cat is really a normal cat."

"Meow!"

The soft orange cat squirmed happily in Xia De's arms. It liked being held by Xia De, especially when going out.

"No, divining Mia is still an excuse."

Xia De, who seemed a bit troubled, shook his head.

"Then what did you come to find me for? I thought that after shooting the Police Chief of this city, you would choose to go home and hide for a few hours."

Luweiya joked and put down the paper in her hand.

"Two things. First, the doctor asked me to notify you that the study group will be suspended for a week. You know, the doctor's gluttony patient became the vessel of an Evil God, and now the doctor is being investigated, so the study group is suspended."

Luweiya nodded and brushed the broken hair by her ear:

"I am very happy that the doctor's action this time didn't go wrong. It was indeed the right decision to let you follow him. Then go and notify others quickly. Seeing the troubled expression you just had, I thought you knew about something like an Evil God again."

The Diviner Association was also very busy now. As an official Shushi organization cooperating with the Five God Church, the Diviner Association also participated in the investigation of the "Second Evil God Descent Event in the Summer of General Calendar 1853" because they had the most and best diviners.

Now Luweiya was very busy. The association gave her some work that didn't need to appear in front of the True God Church. She was much busier than Xia De, who was nominally a detective but more like a "freelancer."

"Stop joking, Luweiya. You also know that before I saw you, I had just left Queen Mary Street."

"Why, is it guilt from killing, or is it restlessness from arson? Do you need me to comfort you?"

The purple-eyed diviner laughed and joked.

"Oh, Luweiya, what kind of person do you think I am? The thing is like this..."

Xia De waved his hand, took out 【Founding·Balance】 from his pocket, then knocked off the cat's extended claws, and mixed the card into his Rod card deck. After letting Luweiya, who didn't know why, help shuffle the cards, his finger tapped on the first card, and then he flipped it open fiercely. It was exactly 【Founding·Balance】.

Luweiya frowned:

"Did you encounter a ghost with a story again?"

The diviner who had heard of the Moon Dance Festival cards asked, and then shook her head to add:

"This time it's not a joke."

"It's not encountering a ghost, it's that I suddenly have this ability. And..."

He held 【Founding·Balance】 in his left hand, and the paper card suddenly flew out from his fingertips, flying up and down in the room, and then drew an infinite symbol around the two with high-difficulty movements. Then it flew back into Xia De's hand again. The whole process was very smooth, as if the paper card itself had intelligence:

"This is not using a spell to move objects, but that I have obtained the ability to manipulate this card. This is like a physical instinct. I can control my hands and feet, I can control myself to speak, and I can also control this paper card to fly everywhere."

The diviner looked at him hesitantly:

"Xia De, you actually found a way to use the Vientiane Impermanence card? How did you do it?"

"Of course not, I don't know what's going on either... Listen, Luweiya."

Xia De looked at the purple-eyed diviner very seriously. Being looked at by Xia De, her face flushed slightly, seeming a bit embarrassed:

"You say."

She brushed her hair by her ear again. The cat placed on Xia De's lap looked at the other party's hair, seeming to want to extend its claws to touch it.

"Luweiya, what are the conditions for the Chosen One of 'Balance'?"

"Three conditions: understand balance, possess an artifact with Ancient God power, and complete the inverted judgment ritual of sacrificing eyes."

She said in a low voice, not knowing what Xia De wanted to express.

Xia De asked again:

"Then Thursday night, the night of god descent. Do you remember what the white-robed god, oh, that is, what this body of mine did last night?"

"Of course I don't know, I couldn't look directly at the god, what I know is all what you said, but your narration was too omitted."

The female diviner answered immediately.

"That's fine."

So Xia De described his experience of turning into a god again, of course, using the third-person perspective. In summary, the god happened to have this paper card with Ancient God power 【Founding·Balance】 on him that night, and made movements that completely satisfied the requirements of "praying to the Ancient God, voluntarily sacrificing one eye. In an inverted state, under the witness of people with special fate, justly judging the enemy of fate":

"So, is it possible that I..."

After speaking, Xia De pointed to himself hesitantly, and then pointed to that card.

Luweiya shook her head and laughed:

"Impossible. One identity only corresponds to one Chosen One. Moreover, a person like you who is outside of fate can never be chosen... According to your statement, the god you summoned from the past used Vientiane Impermanence·Balance, maybe because of this reason, you were able to borrow a little power from this card."

But this was impossible, because Xia De also used 【Founding·Silver Moon】. He told Luweiya his view, and the latter insisted that Xia De could never become a Chosen One. The current situation, although unexplainable, must have nothing to do with the great prophecy of the "Whisper Poem."

"You have also seen the power of the Chosen One. What power did Yin Luna obtain? What power did you obtain? If you say that the power of the Chosen One is just manipulating a paper card, can you believe it? Xia De, the reason why the current situation occurs, I think it is because your body was once a god-descending vessel, so anything that happens can be understood."

Luweiya stood up while talking, confirmed that Xia De only had these things to ask, and prepared to say goodbye:

"If you don't need me to divine the cat for you again, I'm leaving. These few days, we will be very busy."

Xia De also thought Luweiya's statement made sense. It was probably really him thinking too much, but he did have one more thing:

"Oh, I also want to ask you to find information about an Ancient God called 【Radiant Door】 from the Diviner Association's data. Here is a book list, all ancient books, if you have time, help me find it."

So he handed out the translated book list. Xia De of course did not forget that Miss Feilianna and the three were still waiting for him in the Thousand Tree Forest.

"No problem, once I find the data, I will mail it directly to you."

"Then goodbye, Luweiya, you leave first, I'll leave after finishing the tea."

"Goodbye, Xia De, I wish you all the best today. Remind you, it is already the weekend of the third week of this month, please don't forget, next week is exam week."

After saying that, she really left in a hurry. ===== CHAPTER 288 =====
