It's difficult to understand her psychological state during this series of events, but we can at least manage to grasp some of it.
I remained silent for a while, then decided to change the subject.
"Why did you specifically show it to me?" I asked. "And I've also noticed that you seem to have been paying special attention to us from the very beginning."
Whether it was the initial meeting or the special attention that followed, it was as if they knew from the beginning that we would be there at that moment, clearly understood our goal, and then precisely came to our door, reserved a room, arranged food and lodging, answered all our questions, and even prepared to show all their abilities before I even asked any questions.
Even now, I still can't figure out why she came.
The sudden attention, followed by the sudden announcement that he was going to show me details about his abilities, left me completely bewildered. I simply nodded and then fainted for a long time, my head still throbbing... What on earth is going on?!
However, in response to my question, the blind saintess also shook her head with a puzzled expression, her tone light and dismissive: "To be honest, I don't really know the specific reason for your confusion either. It's just that some kind of intuition has been driving me. It's like the moment you appeared nearby, these eyes saw the golden-red flames that suddenly lit up from the ground, and couldn't help but want to get a little closer."
I shook my head, not readily accepting this explanation that amounted to nothing.
“Let me ask you another question. How did you find out about us?” I deliberately used a vague answer. “Your attitude towards us in the treatment room before didn’t seem like that of complete strangers.”
The woman responded again with a similar answer: "Because I 'saw' it."
"With those eyes?"
"right."
She nodded slightly, then looked puzzled: "Although the ability of these eyes was initially formed by accident and there was no way to control their closing, with use, they have gradually become one with me and can now be manipulated in some simple ways."
"For example, I can try to synchronize what it sees with the people who are making eye contact and have a compatible relationship with it, just like I did just now... So, you should have seen it, right? What I tried to synchronize with you just now is why I knew you were coming and tried to make contact."
I shook my head.
Rather than seeing that she knew why we were there, it was more like seeing something much deeper.
Could this also be the effect of my high compatibility, as she mentioned?
"That's strange... Could it be due to the difference in compatibility?"
The blind saintess seemed to be pondering the same question, tilting her head slightly and occasionally letting out soft murmurs: "The problem is that I've never encountered a similar situation before... No, that's not right, people with such a high compatibility are rare..."
The woman pondered for a moment, then clasped her hands together, straightened her back, and adopted a serious posture: "Then, may I ask you about the scene you just witnessed?"
It's not difficult at all.
Rather, I really want to understand what those scenes I just saw truly meant.
Could it really be, as the woman in front of me said, a harbinger of an impending disaster?
My intuition tells me otherwise.
As I continued my description, the woman sitting upright wanted to speak several times, but she restrained herself each time.
She gently bit her lip, pursed her lower lip, and her tightly closed eyes darted back and forth beneath her eyelids, as if peering into some part of that dark world, trying to discern the scene I had mentioned.
Of course, she wasn't completely silent. Occasionally, when my narration was confusing or unclear, she would appropriately insert a few questions, trying to uncover deeper secrets. It's just a pity that those dark scenes seemed to me like a scroll of paper being forcibly pulled forward. Most of the content consisted only of silent and invisible changes in light and shadow, as if I were merely an outsider who happened to pass by, or perhaps because my timeline differed slightly from theirs, making it ultimately difficult for me to participate.
I don't know how much time has passed since I started this story, but I felt that the sunlight outside was slightly tilted, making my shadow longer in front of me, or maybe it was just my imagination.
There were several knocks on the door. The woman, who claimed to have informed others of her presence, also paused her conversation several times to look out and inquire. Fortunately, it wasn't anything urgent as she had suspected; it was just a nearby patient asking about trivial matters, or a resident who had recovered early coming to express their gratitude.
After finishing my one-sided account, I held the freshly brewed cup of flower tea, took a small sip to soothe my throat, turned my head to look out the window, and suddenly remembered the other two who still hadn't returned.
Could it be that something went wrong?
Although I was a little worried, the thought that it was those two guys who went out suddenly made me feel a little relieved.
Putting everything else aside, Shen Xue is a local resident of Tianqi City. Although she hasn't been back for a long time, she is still a local and doesn't have the ability to get lost. At least we can be sure she won't be easily led into alleys or be deliberately deceived by despicable means.
Her skills are already quite impressive, and with Alice by her side—who always enjoys watching the fun but is ruthless when it's time to act and whose combat power is even greater than hers—it's more likely that we should pray for those unlucky guys who only focus on appearances and dare to lay their dirty hands on them, and hope that they won't be defeated so easily.
