Chapter 576 Ruan Qi is a Dead Man (Part 2)
"In my decades of fortune-telling career, I've predicted thirteen blood-red stars four times. Of the four people I predicted, one jumped to his death, two met with tragic deaths in accidents, and the last one..."
Old Davis pursed his lips, unable to speak. "He lost all his wealth, suffered utter torture, suffered a mental breakdown, and is still locked up in a mental hospital."
The reason why the thirteen blood-red stars are classified as super ominous is not just because they are a sign of death.
Anyone who draws this card will suffer torture before death, and eventually exhaust all vitality and die in pain.
"I was only twenty-five when I first saw this prediction. Back then, I was young and full of energy, and I felt I could help that person change his fate. I did my best, reading for him dozens of times a day, hoping to find a glimmer of hope. But in the end..."
"You failed." Ruan Qi said.
Old Davis nodded dejectedly. "Yes, I failed. To help him avoid bad luck, I let him live in Davis Manor. He lived happily every day and didn't encounter any danger. We all thought his fate had changed, but who knew that on the third day after he moved out of Davis Manor, he jumped from the 56th floor."
It wasn't suicide; the man was just trying to get something from the 56th floor. The window was in disrepair, and he tripped and fell out of the damaged window.
Fifty-six floors, nearly two hundred meters high. The man was smashed into a pulp, his face completely disfigured.
Old Davis: "From then on, I finally saw the cruel truth - the result of divination cannot be changed. No matter how much ability I have, I can't change my fate. So, Miss Qi Sha,"
He raised his head and looked at Ruan Qi with a look of compassion in his eyes, "I hope you can be prepared."
What are you preparing for?
Prepare for death to come.
Prepare to face the misfortunes that may come in the future.
The room was silent.
The dim candlelight flickered slightly, and tears slowly flowed down the white candle.
Ruan Qi didn't say anything.
She leaned back in her wheelchair, looking down at the star card in her hand, her thick eyelashes casting fragile shadows in the candlelight.
Old Davis looked at the young girl and felt a little sorry.
He hesitated for a moment, then said gently, "Miss Qi Sha, you don't have to worry too much. Star divination can only predict a period of one year. Those dangers may occur tomorrow, or on the 365th day. We still have time to find a solution."
Ruan Qi's eyelashes trembled, and she raised her eyes and asked calmly, "Can you predict what those dangers are?"
"It's predictable," Davis said in the affirmative. "But it might be a peek into your privacy."
People are about to die, so what's the point of talking about privacy?
Ruan Qi nodded nonchalantly: "Okay. Please make your prediction."
Predicting what will happen in the future is much easier than predicting a crisis.
Old Davis had seen through the conspiracy of Demonhawk and BC at a glance at the arms show. For him, predicting things was as easy as eating and drinking.
He raised his head and looked at Ruan Qi with his bright and captivating eyes.
Ruan Qi also stared at him intently.
The two looked at each other in silence. After a while, old Davis suddenly frowned.
"Huh?" He looked a little unbelievable, his eyes fixed on Ruan Qi's face.
As time passed, Davis's expression grew increasingly strange. Finally, he cried out in shock, "How is this possible?! Why can't I see your future?!"
"?" Ruan Qi frowned in confusion, "What do you mean you can't see my future? You can't predict what will happen to me?"
Davis Sr. didn't answer.
He picked up the star cards on the table and began to tell fortunes.
Once, twice, three times... For a full half hour, Old Davis divined five times, and the results of all five times were -
No results!!!
Old Davis was dumbfounded.
"...How could this happen?" He stared at the star card that couldn't be turned over, then raised his head and looked at Ruan Qi as if she were an alien. "Ms. Qi Sha, are you really from this world?"
Ruan Qi: “…”
Ruan Qi didn't really want to answer Old Davis's idiotic question.
Old Davis knew that his question was stupid, but he really couldn't understand why the prediction technique he had used for decades had failed!
"Miss Qi Sha, I can't see your future." The old man was so shocked that he spoke in a trance. "I have tried every divination method, but I can't even predict what you will encounter tomorrow. Are you really from this world?"
Old Davis began to question his life.
Ruan Qi frowned and called Bai Li's name in her mind.
"Uncle Bai Li, Mr. Davis can't predict my future. Does this have anything to do with the system?"
Bai Li, who had watched the entire divination in silence on the system, paused and spoke in a complicated tone, "It has nothing to do with the system, but it has to do with your fate. Seventh girl, you should be dead now."
According to Ruan Qi's original destiny, she should have suffered a mental breakdown and died in a nightmare before her twentieth birthday.
Even if she is not dead now and is still bound to Bai Li, Ruan Qi is still a dead person in terms of fate until she accumulates a hundred years of life.
What future does a dead person have?
Ruan Qi frowned even deeper after hearing Bai Li's explanation: "Since I am destined to die, why did Mr. Davis predict my crisis?"
"Because of the aura," Bai Li replied, "Predicting events requires a carrier, and you are that carrier. If you die, the carrier will disappear, and the prediction will definitely fail."
"But predicting a crisis is different. Crisis doesn't just exist in the human body; it's a kind of aura, a signal that can be sensed by heaven and earth, no carrier required. Whether you're alive or dead, human or object, as long as you have a trajectory of movement between heaven and earth, the aura will detect the crisis."
"Predicting events and foretelling crises is the difference between substance and nothingness. Substance exists in man, while nothingness exists in heaven and earth."
After Bai Li's explanation, Ruan Qi suddenly understood.
So that's how it is.
It's just a prediction, but there are so many things to say about it.
"Seventh girl," Bai Li spoke again, looking a little worried, "Ask old Davis and see if he can find a way to resolve this crisis."
Ruan Qi was stunned: "Uncle Bai Li, what are you doing..."
"Your crisis should be resolved." Bai Li's brows were cold. "From a numerological point of view, you are no longer a living person, but a body of nothingness. The body of nothingness is integrated into the heaven and earth. As long as the heaven and earth have vitality, the body of nothingness will not disappear. Moreover, you are bound to me. I am a divine artifact, and I can also capture a glimmer of hope."
"You need Old Davis to tell your fortune right now. If it doesn't work once, try ten times. We must find that glimmer of hope!"
