Chapter 110 Scientific Fortune Telling

"The will of Heaven cannot be defied." The echo reverberated through the air, resounding in Yan Shi's ears.

Yan Shi: "If it's truly unavoidable, how come you only have one eye?" She raised an eyebrow, leaned back in her chair, and looked up at the sky.

Jin Tong seemed enraged: "You brat, how dare you!"

Yan Shi's vision blurred for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a somewhat familiar office.

Spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, a large solid wood desk, and a dazzling crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Doesn't this look like her office?

Yan Shi looked around and noticed that there were still some differences.

Because she had only been in office for a short time, the office was bare and mostly had the original decor, designed to be a place where employees were always ready to leave.

The current office, however, has a lot of personalized decorations.

On the desk sat two beautiful crystal balls, each containing a miniature figure having a snowball fight; beneath the crystal chandelier that Yan Shi had always thought was a bit old-fashioned, several pom-poms were hanging, swaying back and forth.

On the filing cabinet were several photo frames, in which several women were embracing each other and smiling broadly at the camera.

Just as Yan Shi was about to approach the filing cabinet to examine the photos in the frame, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her and turned around.

A woman with red hair and black eyes strode into the office, past Yan Shi, and behind the desk. After pulling out a chair, she leaned back and propped her legs up on the desk. Then she pulled a photograph out of her pocket and examined it closely.

So she's in a ghostly state now? Yan Shi was surprised when the woman passed right through his body. He raised his hand and looked at it in the light.

Solid, no different.

Yan Shi drew a conclusion.

Although he didn't know why Jin Tong had sent her here, Yan Shi walked up behind the woman and curiously looked down.

It was an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, with a few strands of soft, black hair stuck to his forehead, and a longevity lock that was too big for a baby to wear around his neck.

The woman stroked the photograph with a gentle touch, a stark contrast to her previous decisive demeanor: "Lanlan."

So this is a young grandmother?

Yan Shi, startled and suspicious, tried to get a clear look at the woman's features, but Jin Tong's voice rang in her ears again:

“You are not the child we were expected to be. Your elders don’t even have photos of you; they only care about your sister.”

Yan Shi: ?

What is it?

Isn't Lanlan her?

This guy with golden eyes is probably making up stories for Guan Yunji based on her own understanding.

Yan Shi replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I don't care."

As soon as she finished speaking, her vision blurred again.

When I opened my eyes again, I was in a long corridor, with a classroom with its door open on my right. An invisible wind blew across the test papers on the desks inside the classroom.

Wen Ying walked out of the classroom, passing by He Yanshi, who had a blank expression.

Jin Tong coaxed gently, "This is your best friend, and she has broken off all ties with you."

This was something Jin Tong had previously retrieved from Wen Ying's memories.

Yan Shi found it amusing; Wen Ying knew Yan Shi's name.

They had been friends for five years.

But Jin Tong didn't know.

Is this truly what He calls knowing His destiny, or is it a future fabricated by combining the past of those who seek His destiny with multiple stories He Himself has seen?

No matter what the future holds, Yan Shi doesn't believe it.

“Oh,” she said nonchalantly, “I don’t care.”

The golden eyes in the sky widened. Yan Shi stood up, stepped onto the railing of the corridor, and leaped into the air.

The spirits in this illusion are actually the same concentration of spirits from the other world.

Yan Shi opened her hand, and a longbow made entirely of fire spirits appeared in her hand.

She looked up, drew back the bowstring forcefully, and shot the arrow straight at the golden pupil in the sky.

Jin Tong was startled and quickly closed his eyes. The sky instantly darkened and then split in two. All the surrounding scenery collapsed into fragments.

When Yan Shi opened his eyes again, he was once again in front of the window of the library.

Guan Yunji, sitting opposite her, also suddenly opened her eyes. Both eyes were initially golden, then quickly turned gray until they became dull and lifeless.

Guan Yunji spat out a mouthful of blood onto the table. The array plate she had placed there shattered into powder with a crackling sound, dissolving into the blood. The table was a complete mess.

Yan Shi silently moved his hand from the table to the armrest of the chair.

“You’ve seen your future,” Guan Yunji said. “Director Yan, sacrifice is meaningless.”

Yan Shi: "This is my choice."

Moreover, Jin Tong only showed her two memories that had no impact on her.

Guan Yunji said she was having her fortune told, but where does the future lie?

Yan Shi pondered.

Yan Shi suddenly realized.

This is false advertising! It constitutes fraud.

So Yan Shi became even more self-righteous: "Ms. Guan, do you have any other defenses to offer?"

Guan Yunji shook her head and didn't say anything more, instead turning her head to look out the window.

She closed her eyes slightly.

The morning light shone through the window and onto her face.

The sun is coming out.

Yan Shi: !

When Jin Tong showed her the two flashbacks during the fortune telling, they didn't seem very long. How did the sunrise happen so quickly?

She stayed up all night... but still has to work overtime today.

Oh my god, this world!!

5:03.

Just then, Sheng Chunqiu made an emergency call to her: "Director Yan, the enemy attack has been completely resolved. The Information Department will compile and send you the statistics on all casualties and building damage after it is completed today."

Yan Shi nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

“Everything else is fine, except…” Sheng Chunqiu stammered, “Last night’s battle affected the General Administration’s archives, and the documents were severely damaged.”

The General Administration's Archives? Where is that?

Yan Shi was somewhat puzzled. She had only seen an archive room in the Will Hub in a comic book before.

However, she hasn't heard of this since she joined the company, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Yes, just do your best to save her," Yan Shi said. "I'll come to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs during the day to take a look."

Sheng Chunqiu: "Received."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Shi looked at Guan Yunji again.

She no longer looked out the window, but instead lowered her head, deep in thought.

Although he was blind, he seemed to be very sensitive to the gazes directed at him, closing his eyes and looking up at Xiang Yan.

Yan Shi: "Ms. Guan, come with me."

As Guan Yunji stood up and Yan Shi moved closer, using fire spirits to restrict her limbs, she suddenly whispered, "Director Yan, Wei Ning is not my first student."

Yan Shi: ?

She looked at Guan Yunji's face with a puzzled expression.

To be honest, she had always felt that Guan Yunji's madness was somewhat inexplicable, and now she was talking to her about some completely unrelated information.

Guan Yunji continued softly, "My first student has limited talent, but is exceptionally resourceful."

Yan Shi: "Okay."

If she encounters her again in the future, she will remember to imprison Guan Yunji's first student as well.

The first student taught by a criminal is always someone who's not to be trifled with.

After Yan Shi checked all the ropes and confirmed that Huo Ling was obediently restricting Guan Yunji's movements, he straightened up and led Guan Yunji out of the library.

Suddenly, a loud thud came from the bookshelf next to her.

Someone's there!

Yan Shi immediately walked around the bookshelf and looked behind him.

Lin Cai covered her head, grimacing as she sat on the ground, with a thick ancient book lying on the ground in front of her.

Upon seeing Yan, she looked up awkwardly and said, "Good morning, Director Yan."
