Chapter 1020: Divination
Darkness still shrouded the huge Field Villa. In the spacious weapons display room, Dorothy stood in the center of the room and nodded after carefully looking at the surrounding environment. She decided to make this the location for the decisive battle with Luer.
"The space is big enough... There are a few doors for exits, and there are doors at all angles... Hmm... There are still some things... Now I need to find some things, first of all, a walking stick..."
As she thought about this, Dorothy began to look around for a walking stick, but after looking around for a while, she didn't find any, which made her frown slightly.
“No… If that’s the case…”
Thinking of this, Dorothy glanced at the stool beside her, and then she simply put a life-eating talisman on herself, then turned the stool over and broke off one of the legs.
"I'll make do with this."
Holding the stool leg, Dorothy stood in the center of the spacious room, then took out three gold coins from her purse and stuffed them all into the cracks in the wood at the broken end of the stool leg.
Then, leaning on the leg of the stool as if she were a cane, she concentrated on thinking the words in her mind.
'The threat lurking within this mansion is about to strike.'
After muttering the words silently, Dorothy let go of her cane and let it fall, then pointed to a location in the northwest corner of the room. Dorothy looked over there and saw that it was dark and it was difficult to see things clearly.
This is cane divination, or cane divination, which is also a very simple ritual divination method. It is usually used to find the way or guide the direction. But here Dorothy is used to divination where the crisis comes from.
After noting the position, Dorothy picked up the cane, took out the gold coins stuffed in it, and looked at them in the faint moonlight. She found that two of the coins had lost their luster, which meant that the "light" stored in the two gold coins had been lost. Dorothy had just consumed two points of "inspiration" for this divination.
"Heh... it seems that the only anti-divination resources you have are 1 'shadow' and 1 'inspiration', which is quite shabby."
Looking at this scene, Dorothy thought that the reason why there was extra consumption in this divination was because the instructor carried anti-divination items with him, and Dorothy also prepared more resources when she was doing the divination.
Judging from the results, her divination resources were offset by 1 "Light" and 1 "Enlightenment" by the instructor's counter-divination, and 1 "Light" and 1 "Enlightenment" were successfully effective and completed the divination, so Dorothy lost two gold coins and gained two points in "Enlightenment".
If one wants to do reverse divination, but does not have a system like Dorothy, they usually carry with them reverse divination items that have stored spirituality in advance. The spirituality in the items is different from the spirituality accumulated by people themselves. The spirituality in the items is automatically consumed without causing any notice, unless the spirituality of the items is checked afterwards.
This means that Luer has been divined by Dorothy but is unaware of it yet, unless he checks his anti-divination items right now. However, he is currently searching for the enemy and does not have the energy to do so.
"Now that we know where he's coming from, let's talk about this next..."
Then, Dorothy took out a copper pocket watch from her pocket, took it in her hand and opened it, revealing a seemingly damaged dial.
There was no glass cover on the dial of the pocket watch in Dorothy's hand. The hour, minute and second hands on it were all still and seemed very loose, as if they were not tightened. There was some mystical pattern painted on the cover of the pocket watch, with the symbols of "Light" and "Start".
This is a divination tool that Dorothy prepared beforehand. It is an ordinary pocket watch that has been slightly modified to perform another type of divination.
Then Dorothy placed the remaining gold coin on the lid of the pocket watch, placed her finger on the dial, and silently recited the divination with a focused expression.
'I was attacked at the time.'
After Bu Yu finished speaking, Dorothy fiddled with the pointers on the dial. The pointers that were specially loosened on the dial rotated rapidly on the dial. After a while, they stopped one by one and fell on the corresponding scale.
This is dial divination, one of the divination methods Dorothy bought from Oldman. It can predict the time of the day.
Just now when Dorothy was fortune-telling with the cane, her 5 inherent "Inspiration" had been used up, but fortunately Dorothy still had some "Inspiration" accumulated as experience points, so she was able to complete the fortune-telling.
"Two thirty-one twenty seconds?"
After taking a look at the scale, Dorothy wrote it down. After putting the pocket watch away, she took out another pocket watch that was in normal working order and kept accurate time.
'The current time is 2:28, that guy will find me soon, and the attack on me will be launched in three minutes and twenty seconds.
"Then... come on..."
Dorothy put away the pocket watch and coins, squatted down beside a display case, pretending to hide from something, then closed her eyes and began to wait quietly.
As time passed, the bright moon in the sky outside the window was blocked by dark clouds. Without the moonlight, the entire weapons display room fell into pure darkness that was almost invisible.
In this darkness, everything fell silent, as if only the heart was beating actively.
But in this shadow, a being quietly and silently crawled into the weapons display room through an open window.
Relying on the cover of darkness, Luer, like a wild beast, entered the spacious room. After sniffing left and right twice, he looked towards the center of the room.
Even without light, the darkness could reveal the outlines of objects to Luer, and there he saw a figure hiding under a display case.
Although he couldn't see the details clearly, his keen sense of smell told Luer that this was the intruder he had been tracking.
"Hey... finally... I found you... you think you're a puppeteer..."
Thinking in his mind, Luer began to walk silently in the spacious room, looking for a position to strike, and at the same time taking a last good look at the prey.
"Are you scared...are you terrified...so you're hiding in a place like this and not daring to move...haha, this is the behavior of someone who can't adapt to the darkness. Although you look aggressive when controlling the puppet, your body is just a pitiful creature. You didn't even know I was here..."
Slowly, Luer found the perfect angle for a surprise attack. Here, he was behind the prey and there was nothing blocking his way.
"You despicable invader, now is the time to pay the price..."
The hunt began. Luer found the right angle and grasped the distance. Luer began to exert force all over his body, rushing towards the prey in the darkness in front of him at high speed. In an instant, Luer had sprinted to a place less than one meter behind the target.
At this time, Luer also saw that the figure in front of him had turned around and made a sound that he could not understand, facing the direction that was attacking him.
"—Fus·Ro—"
