"...Miss Zhang, you just said you had a good dream last night." Chen Jing's expression remained unchanged.
"It seems like it's whipping something over there with an oil lamp, but I don't know the specifics. I didn't go over because I was worried that the armor would make too much noise," Dao Nan said while putting on his armor. "But the good news is that it hasn't come over for at least the time that followed."
Just as Chen Jing was about to speak during the discussion, Li Si, who had been placed to the side, suddenly opened his eyes.
Beneath her rough red hair, her brows furrowed slightly. She spoke, her voice hoarse and androgynous: "Where's my helmet?"
He Lili said, "It seems to have fallen. It wasn't easy to rescue you in the first place. Is there anything special about your helmet? Is it some kind of magical artifact?"
"It's nothing," Li Si said. "What happened? I feel like something terrifying has pierced my heart."
“There should be a powerful cultivator there,” Chen Jing said, pointing to the window frame.
“That powerful cultivator is either toying with us, using us, or unable to leave the vicinity of the prison for some reason…” He Lili reasoned and analyzed.
Li Si frowned and asked in a neutral voice, "Is it a wandering spirit or a human with a normal mind?"
“I don’t know,” He Lili answered frankly. “I didn’t even see it anywhere.”
"Then how did it launch the attack?" Li Si asked, frowning.
“Some spells don’t require a medium, posture, or incantation; they can be activated solely through the mind,” He Lili said. “They should be something like the Heart-Shaking Spell, but there are many possibilities.”
Li Sidao said, "Even that kind of technique requires seeing the target and locking onto it before it can be used. Is it invisible?"
“No,” Chen Jing said, “It seems to be using magic on us by relying on zombies that have turned into corpses.”
Chen Jingming clearly noticed that Li Si's eyes had sharpened: "The zombie that has turned into a zombie... is there multiple zombies at once, or can there only be one?"
“It seems to be one,” Chen Jing said after thinking for a moment. “There can only be one zombie that can use this kind of magic at a time.”
Hearing this, Li Si said, "I have some guesses."
Instead of revealing her guess, she took a small skull from her bag, with a yellow candle, stained with oil, stuck in it.
She lit a candle and examined the cracks in the skull and the flame.
"Is this... a variation of tortoise shell divination?" He Lili asked uncertainly from the side.
“You know quite a lot,” Li Si said, his eyes still fixed on the skull and the candle.
“I’ve heard that tortoise shell divination is not suitable for asking about important matters or good or bad fortune,” He Lili said.
“You’re wrong,” Li Si said. “It is the Great Way, which does not concern itself with good or bad fortune. It means that for important matters that must be accomplished, one can disregard the possibility of success. It is a story from the Song Dynasty, which was told by divination before the start of a war in ruins.”
Chen Jing suddenly felt a little relieved. At least it wasn't He Lili who was criticizing him, but someone else who was criticizing He Lili.
Uh... but didn't she claim to be good at divination? It's a bit strange that she doesn't know any basic divination knowledge...
Chen Jing ignored He Lili's embarrassed expression and instead stared at the strange cracks and oil droplets gradually appearing on the skull. These things, amidst the stench, seemed to bring a mysterious revelation.
The others watched quietly, not daring to disturb them.
"Step back." Li Si glanced at the window railing: "Nine times out of ten."
“Keep moving forward.” Li Si looked at the room Chen Jing and the others had visited before, where they found angels nailed to wooden stakes and many people with maggots on their faces: “There is danger, but there is also hope.”
"Go back." Li Si glanced in the direction of the military camp in the 'Sealed Land': "No chance of survival."
"Ten out of ten chances of survival..." Chen Jing suddenly realized that everyone except Li Si was looking at him.
