"I died three months ago?" Kōjirō was stunned when he heard Substitutive Smoke's words. He did not expect Substitutive Smoke's divination to be like this!
Kōjirō fell into silence as he thought about what happened three months ago. No one knew what he was thinking.
Substitutive Smoke was more shocked than anyone else. If Mu Junsu, Ning Shuang, and Snow Red's divination was still within the scope of understanding, then the divination of Kōjirō's Fantasy was completely unheard of.
Such a strange divination was not even recorded in the ancient books. The divination clearly showed that a person was already dead. How could he still be alive?
Could it be that … she had divined wrongly?
Substitutive Smoke calmed herself down and immediately divined again. However, the result was the same. The divination still showed that Kōjirō had died three months ago. She was now divining for a dead person.
"Again!" Substitutive Smoke gritted her teeth and divined for the third time. However, the result was still the same. There was no change.
Substitutive Smoke did not give up. She divined for the fifth time, the sixth time, and even the seventh time. Eventually, she gave up.
Substitutive Smoke's face was pale after giving up. She looked at Kōjirō in front of her, unable to hold her breath. Her mind was blank.
After seven divinations, the result was the same. Kōjirō had died three months ago.
If she had divined wrongly once, then it was impossible for her divinations to be wrong seven times in a row. Therefore, Kōjirō had died three months ago. The result of her divination was the truth.
However, the divination of a living person in front of her showed that he was already dead. She had not divined wrongly. What was going on?
Substitutive Smoke was completely at a loss!
'If I hadn't met Xiao Fan three months ago, I would have probably married Lei Huang and become his concubine!' Kōjirō thought to himself. 'Lei Huang looks peaceful, but he is extremely violent. I'm afraid that I would have been tortured to death within a few days of marrying him!'
'This is my fate!'
'Substitutive Smoke's divination was correct!'
'Substitutive Smoke's divination did not lead to Xiao Fan. That's why the divination showed that I was already dead!'
After understanding the reason, Kōjirō did not say anything else. he turned around and walked towards Xiao Fan.
After Kōjirō left, Lime stepped forward and said to her with a smile, "It's my turn!"
"Okay!" Substitutive Smoke looked deeply at Kōjirō who was leaving. She then retracted her gaze and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She then forced a smile and said to Lime.
"I want to ask …!" Lime opened her mouth and was about to tell her what she wanted to know. However, before she could finish, Substitutive Smoke's expression changed.
"Stop talking!" Substitutive Smoke's face instantly turned pale. She lost her composure and interrupted Lime.
"What?" Lime was stunned. The people from the Divine Planning Palace and the crowd were also stunned. They did not understand why Substitutive Smoke lost her composure.
"You … stop talking!" Substitutive Smoke's body was trembling uncontrollably. Her voice was trembling. She seemed to have used a lot of strength to speak. "I don't dare to read your divination!"
"But I haven't said what kind of divination I want!" Lime said gloomily.
"No matter what kind of divination you want, I don't dare to read it!" Substitutive Smoke said with a bitter smile. "If I were to read your divination, my intuition tells me that I will die. I will definitely die!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard Substitutive Smoke's words. They fell into a dead silence.
"People … who can't be divined?" A few of the oldest elders from the Divine Planning Palace suddenly had a change in expression. They stared at Lime and their pupils constricted. Then, they muttered a few words.
In the eyes of a diviner, there were three types of people in the world.
The first type of people were those who could divine the outcome. There was nothing to say about this.
The second type of people were those who could not divine the outcome. There was nothing to say about this either. The diviner's skill was not high enough, the other party's level was too high, or the other party was a special person who was born with the fortune of heaven and earth. All of these factors would cause the divination to fail.
Although Kōjirō's group of four had different situations, strictly speaking, they could be considered as the second type of people.
As for the first two types of people, even if the second type of people couldn't divine the outcome, they could still be divined from another perspective. It was just that they couldn't divine the outcome. However, the act of divining could still be done.
However, the third type of people was the most special because they couldn't be divined.
Simply put, the third type of people couldn't even perform divinations. If they tried to force the divination, the diviner would die on the spot.
As for the reason, no one knew.
Diviners weren't omniscient and omnipotent. There were many things in the world that they couldn't fathom. They could only protect themselves and not come into contact with certain things or existences.
However, this third type of person was also the rarest. The few elders of the Divine Strategies Mansion only knew about this third type of person from ancient books. In fact, even the first generation of Divine Mathematicians might not have seen this type of person in all these years.
Who knew that they would meet such a person today?
"Alright!" Although Lime was disappointed with Substitutive Smoke's words, she could understand. She then turned around and left, leaving behind Substitutive Smoke, the people from the Divine Planning Palace, and the surrounding people.
Only the Little Bastard, Lin Shan, and Jiang Yi were left.
"Let me do it!" Jiang Yi didn't decline. After Lime left, he stepped forward and spoke to Substitutive Smoke in a gentle voice.
Substitutive Smoke nodded and began to perform divinations on Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi's question was very special. He didn't ask the question directly. Instead, he wrote down a word and asked Substitutive Smoke to perform the divination.
The word wasn't any other word but 'Demon'!
Jiang Yi asked about the reconstruction of the Magic Kingdom. However, he didn't say it directly. Instead, he asked in an obscure way.
Substitutive Smoke didn't have any doubts about Jiang Yi's divination and immediately performed the divination. Soon, the result of the divination was out. There weren't any strange phenomena in the divination.
However, when Substitutive Smoke saw the result of the divination, her eyelids suddenly twitched!
What did she see?
She saw endless death, endless darkness, and mournful howls that resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The chilling intent that was emitted from the divination caused her to freeze on the spot. Even her soul was frozen for a moment.
However, this kind of death and darkness appeared very quickly and disappeared even faster. In almost an instant, everything disappeared without a trace. The entire hexagram also completely dissipated.
Substitutive Smoke froze. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.
This time, she had experienced an unprecedented horror from the divination!
This great terror was different from the intense sense of danger that Xue Hong and Qing Ning had felt when they divined. This great terror had reached deep into the depths of their souls, and it had already surpassed the fear of death that a person would feel.
Substitutive Smoke suddenly regretted her decision!
If she could turn back time, she would rather not have divined the word 'Demon' for Jiang Yi. She would rather perform another divination for Lime than to perform another divination for Jiang Yi.
"Young Mansion Master!"
Substitutive Smoke froze on the spot and didn't move for a long time. One of the Divine Strategies Mansion's elders immediately sensed that something was wrong. He hurried forward and called out anxiously.
"Young Mansion Master!"
The rest of the Divine Strategies Mansion's elders also regained their senses and hurried forward to call out to Substitutive Smoke.
After calling out for nearly a hundred breaths of time, Substitutive Smoke suddenly shuddered and finally woke up. She looked at everyone blankly.
"No, Young Mansion Master, your body is very weak now. You can't perform any more divination!" One of the Divine Strategies Mansion's elders said firmly. Then, he raised his hand and signaled for someone to send Substitutive Smoke back.
However, Substitutive Smoke opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Stand down!"
The few female disciples of the Divine Strategies Mansion who wanted to step forward stopped in their tracks and looked at the Divine Strategies Mansion's elder hesitantly. They didn't know what to do.
"Young Mansion Master, you …!" The Divine Strategies Mansion's elder wanted to say something.
"Elder Sun, you don't have to interfere in this matter!" Substitutive Smoke said with great difficulty. "The rules of the divination profession must be obeyed. Even if the diviner dies in the process of performing the divination, it's fine!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at the Little Bastard and Lin Shan and gestured for Lin Shan and Little Bastard to come forward and ask for a divination.
"Forget it. I won't ask for a divination!" Little Bastard shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that you might die here if you don't perform a divination for me. That would be troublesome!"
"Grandpa has the virtue of cherishing life. I don't kill indiscriminately!"
After saying that, Little Bastard ignored the disdainful looks from Lime and the others behind him. He placed his hands behind his back and stepped back leisurely, allowing Lin Shan to perform the final divination.
Substitutive Smoke looked at Lin Shan and nodded. His voice was soft and weak as he said, "Please!"
Lin Shan nodded. However, Lin Shan chose to perform a secret divination. He didn't let anyone know what he was trying to divine. After listening to Lin Shan's words, the Substitutive Smoke nodded and began to perform the divination.
This time, Substitutive Smoke's divination was completely normal. There were no abnormalities, and the result of the divination was normal. Substitutive Smoke opened his mouth and told Lin Shan the result in a low voice.
After Lin Shan received the result of the divination, he pondered for a moment. Then, he smiled and turned to leave.
However!
Just as Lin Shan turned around, Substitutive Smoke frowned slightly.
Yes, Lin Shan's divination result was quite normal. However, an inexplicable feeling told her that Lin Shan's divination result was very abnormal.
However, she couldn't figure out what kind of abnormality it was. She just felt inexplicably frustrated.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much!" Dai Xiangyan looked at Lin Shan's back and muttered to himself. His expression was a little absent-minded!
