Chapter 85: The Third Path Error

Lord of the Mysteries

Obtained Sequence 9 Potion: Thief

"Very good, only my own diary content still contains only Sequence 9 matters."

"But counting the 'Thief', the three paths of the Lord of the Mysteries are now all complete."

The future path belonging to the Lord of the Mysteries has already been paved.

Now one only needs to continue walking forward on this path.

Ren Amamiya was not surprised either.

He picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

As always, the taste could be described as quite terrible.

However, after drinking the 'Thief' potion, there was a slight difference.

He felt some different sensations in his wrists and fingers.

A thick layer of skin on the fingers and palms cracked open, and beneath the cracked skin, brand new skin grew rapidly.

Skin as pink as that of an infant.

The rough hands of a worker were completely gone; instead, they were more like a young girl's: slender and fair.

This made the pair of hands seem as if they had been reborn.

"Is this the benefit given by the Thief?"

Unlike the 'Seer' and the 'Apprentice', the 'Thief' involves work done with the hands, so the fingers, palms, and wrists received a boost in dexterity.

"These hands could completely serve as a model for hand modeling."

Ren Amamiya couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Of course, hand modeling is definitely not something one can do; even if working part-time, one wouldn't do hand modeling.

"No wonder I heard before that a thief's hands are key; this really isn't just talk."

Only now, seeing these hands of his, could he feel that the previous descriptions of thieves were truly accurate.

Besides the transformation of the hands, it seems one can also make a basic judgment on things of value.

For instance, this maple leaf gold coin in hand, besides emitting a Huang Chengcheng luster, also carries a hint of pale blue light.

This should be the judgment on things of value, like a highlighting function.

This extraordinary ability is quite good; when facing things of unknown value, one can completely use this extraordinary ability as a basis for judgment.

Whether in the modern era or ancient times, this extraordinary ability to judge the value of objects is welcome everywhere.

"If I were in an ordinary world, then after digesting the 'Thief' potion, would I have become the story of 'I have Golden Eyes in the Modern World'?"

That really is uncertain.

Ren Amamiya smiled and shook his head.

"Then the question is Mao Li Lan."

"It's been two days already, right? What kind of matter could make Mao Li Lan take two days off?"

"Should I divine to see the situation?"

Mao Li Lan taking two days off was indeed something quite concerning.

Thinking this, he directly took out the Tarot cards and began the divination.

Nine of Wands, Seven of Pentacles, Two of Wands.

"Ah???"

These three cards made him pause slightly.

"Kudo Shinichi's head suffered a severe blow, a huge lie, and disappointment?"

"Kudo Shinichi, due to a special situation, deceived Mao Li Lan with a lie, and Mao Li Lan felt intense disappointment?"

"... So, does Mao Li Lan know about Kudo's fake death?"

Under normal circumstances, this should be something that absolutely shouldn't happen.

In a normal story, changing from a Gao Zhongsheng to a primary school student is hard to believe; Mao Li Lan simply didn't believe such a thing, which is why she didn't think about it from the start.

Now that the Kudo couple are covering for Kudo Shinichi, theoretically speaking, Mao Li Lan should not know.

Unless she learned it through other paths.

Ren Amamiya looked down at the diary.

"I see."

"It seems my guess was correct; Mao Li Lan really obtained the diary."

He took a deep breath.

"Now, on the surface, it can be confirmed that three people have obtained the diary."

"Kaguya Sigong, Nagi Sanzenin, and Mao Li Lan."

"They all share the same trait; they are all the heroines in their respective stories."

"And then, their life trajectories have begun to change because they obtained the diary."

"Hmm, Kaguya Sigong is so; the situations of Nagi Sanzenin and Mao Li Lan cannot yet be determined."

Nagi Sanzenin has not been contacted yet.

But Mao Li Lan has already been contacted.

Whether her life trajectory has deviated might yield a conclusion.

Upright Star, Reversed Justice, Reversed Lovers.

"Hiss!"

The situation foretold by these three cards is far too severe.

"Tsk tsk~ Kudo, Kudo, you're in for it now."

"All three cards are pointing to a serious problem in your love life."
