Chapter 213 Don't try to scam me!

The closest attraction to the carousel is a beautiful little wooden house.

The large sign above reads "Fortune Telling House".

There were practically no tourists here, and no staff were guarding the entrance. Jiang Liyue simply pushed the door open and went in.

Based on her experience reading many literary works, those who practice divination are usually strange riddle tellers.

Sure enough, when Jiang Liyue pushed open the door, a person dressed in a black robe whose face was obscured sat in the middle of the dimly lit room. In front of him was a crystal ball emitting a bluish-purple glow.

The entire room is lit by this crystal ball.

"What do you want to know, my destined one?" The other person's voice was genderless, but its tone was strange, and it floated lightly in the small room.

Jiang Liyue blinked: "What do I want to know?"

"Of course, wealth, status, love, even... whether you can get out of here alive." The voice had a seductive tone. "I can tell you the answer as long as you want."

"Oh, can you tell me if this project requires a check-in system?" Jiang Liyue looked around but didn't see any other staff members.

It doesn't look like a legitimate project.

Diviner: ...

"Aren't you curious? Why are you here... Why is it you, your past and your future... Reality and illusion." His words seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

It seemed to be hinting at Jiang Liyue's transmigration into the book.

This is her biggest secret, a secret that no one else knows.

Given such a dark environment and an inherently unscientific setting, could someone possess the power to anticipate the past and future?

The fortune teller waited with great confidence for Jiang Liyue to panic and then come to him with questions.

Jiang Liyue wasn't even surprised; she just frowned slightly in disappointment: "So you're not letting me clock in?"

Fortune teller: "...Don't you really have anything you want to know?"

Jiang Liyue sighed: "If you're not going to clock in, then forget it."

As she turned to leave, the fortune teller became furious: "Ugh! Why aren't you following the script! Is this stupid check-in more important than my fortune telling?"

His voice was no longer as mysterious as before; he was clearly on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Liyue innocently shrugged: "Checking in is more important to me."

This is a mission, you know.

Hahahahahahaha

[Fortune teller: You want to know blah blah blah blah]

[Yueyue: Hello check-in]

[Hilarious! I've watched so many live streams from amusement parks, and the fortune teller has always been a mysterious figure. This is the first time I've seen him get this angry.]

[Yueyue: But checking in is really important!]

Actually, I also think that given Yueyue's personality, she wouldn't be interested in things like fortune-telling at all.

Although there was an element of deliberately trying to annoy the fortune teller, Jiang Liyue herself wasn't very interested in it.

What's this about borrowing from the past and future? You can't change what you borrow. Does she need someone else to tell her whether she can get out of the instance alive?

As for the matter of transmigrating into a book, Jiang Liyue didn't think the fortune teller really knew. What he meant by another world was more likely the real world as opposed to the strange world.

Rather than the world she lived in before she transmigrated into the book.

Of course, it doesn't matter even if the other party knows she's transmigrated into a book; they can't do anything to her anyway.

Therefore, checking in is more important than anything else.

Since she couldn't check in here, she decided not to waste her time.

"If you can't check in, it means it's not an amusement park attraction. It's definitely a scam," Jiang Liyue muttered.

The fortune teller had probably never met someone as stubborn as her before, and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Liyue turned and left without looking back.

No, is it because you're really not curious?

"I'll give you a free fortune telling, okay?!" He refused to believe it; he was going to shock her with his true abilities.

He's not some con artist!

Jiang Liyue then turned her head with a half-smile: "So, it turns out there's a charge?"

For the supernatural, what can fees be but human flesh and blood?

The fortune teller's voice betrayed his embarrassment upon hearing this: "Well, it's just for making a living."

He coughed twice to change the subject: "I'll give you a free fortune telling, really."

This time, Jiang Liyue did not refuse and placed her hand on the crystal ball in front of him as instructed by the fortune teller.

The once translucent crystal ball, radiating a blue-purple light, gradually became covered with mist.

"How could this be? Both the past and the future are shrouded in mystery." The fortune teller was somewhat incredulous.

Everyone, regardless of who they are, should have a past and a future, right? His crystal ball is at least an A-grade item!

It can indeed be used for divination, and it's not just an ornament.

But the next moment, his disbelief turned into despair.

As the mist enveloped the entire crystal ball, with a crack, a fissure appeared in the middle of the crystal ball, and it shattered before his and Jiang Liyue's very eyes!

Jiang Liyue innocently withdrew her hand, blinking her big eyes: "I didn't use any force, you're not trying to stage an accident, are you?"

"Aaaaaah, my crystal ball!" The fortune teller's voice cracked as he clutched his crystal ball, utterly devastated. "This is an A-grade item! Do you know how rare it is?!"

Grade A items are all unique; once they're broken, they're truly gone forever!

The weirdo didn't have any props to begin with, so how difficult is it for him to obtain one? TT

Jiang Liyue never expected that the crystal ball was actually a prop. She saw the black-robed fortune teller holding his crystal ball as if he had lost his wife.

Ah... but she really didn't use any force, so it's not her fault the crystal ball cracked on its own.

Jiang Liyue was overwhelmed by the constant wailing of crying and quickly made her escape.

By the time the fortune teller realized what was happening, there was no one in front of him anymore: Ahhhhhh!

Just then, the crystal ball in front of him, which had cracked, flickered twice more.

Fortune teller: !

As Jiang Liyue walked out of the fortune-telling shop, she could still hear the fortune teller laughing and crying behind her. Sure enough, people in this line of work were all a bit oddballs.

Moreover, it cracks with the slightest touch; could his A-grade item be some kind of counterfeit or substandard product?

Meanwhile, eyes somewhere in the darkness witnessed the events that had just unfolded.

A hint of a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes, which were usually devoid of emotion.

At the same time, a gentle breeze seemed to blow, causing the small octopus balloon in Jiang Liyue's hand to flutter twice.

Jiang Liyue felt the balloon being blown around, looked up at the ugly little octopus, and smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Let's go to the next project."

For some reason, she felt a familiar gaze just now.

Is the scoundrel finally showing up, like before when the prison instance never appeared?

She blinked, but the feeling of being watched was fleeting and didn't linger.

Jiang Liyue didn't think about it anymore.

Forget it, if that jerk isn't coming, she can play by herself.
