Chapter 331 Illusion
The fortune teller, the tenth in the Scarlet Calamity, is said to have been transformed from a Taoist priest who came down from the mountain, and has long occupied the Zuochuan People's Hospital.
It first came to the attention of the outside world when the Dream City army came to investigate the origin of the hospital's anomaly.
Although the army had anticipated the dangers of the hospital, they ultimately did not expect that it contained a Scarlet Plague. In addition, they went in too early, and no one even knew the concept of a Scarlet Plague.
Because of it, the army suffered heavy casualties. Only a portion of them survived because they did not encounter it. It was not until much later, when Mengcheng came here again to investigate, that the level of the other party was confirmed.
Afterwards, no one could say for sure what its abilities were, only that it seemed to be able to command its own kind.
The only description of a Taoist fortune teller has always been four words: "as ghostly as a demon."
However, its behavior is very similar to that of the lone white moth; once it occupies a territory, it will not move its nest, and as long as you don't get close to it, you will not be killed.
Therefore, the world ranks it tenth.
After confirming the level, Mengcheng completely sealed off the area around the hospital, putting up signs prohibiting anyone from entering, so as not to alert this strange creature.
Therefore, Miao Yin knew very little about it. It wasn't until she encountered it today that she realized it could use illusions as a trick. No wonder the army was almost wiped out.
Adding to this seemingly precognitive ability, Miao Yin thought coldly.
I never expected that I, the fake prophet, would run into a real one today.
If the future is entirely under the opponent's control, and they can dodge any move or even escape, wouldn't they never be able to win against her?
...That's a bit troublesome.
The Taoist priest stood silently in front of her, blending into the deep darkness around him. He was so close, yet she could never reach him.
Miao Yin raised her arm with her palm facing outward, and countless fireballs instantly gathered around her.
The black and red flames and murderous intent reflected in her eyes, and the red mole between her brows, made her look bewitching: "Then let's see if your foresight is faster, or my attack is faster."
In an instant, hundreds of fireballs flew toward the diviner, leaving red trails in the air at extremely high speeds, so dense that not even an inch of space was left.
The fortune teller bent down and moved around as if he could shrink his bones, as nimble as a wisp of smoke.
The fireball smashed through the wall with a loud bang. Tu Hao looked up at the source of the sound: "There."
But even faster than the two of them were the deformed people hiding in the hospital.
They emerged from the pipes and windows, rushing frantically toward Mu Yin.
Miao Yin didn't even glance at these henchmen before turning them to ashes with a few fireballs.
She condensed the flames into threads, encircling all sides to form a cage of fire, and then pressed the diviner step by step, forcing him into a corner.
Under Miao Yin's high-density attacks, the diviner finally made a mistake, and half of his sleeve was burned by the flames.
It bounced off the ground like a spring and retreated to the corner of the wall.
Miao Yin's eyes flickered.
Did you go in by yourself?
wrong.
If the other person's ability is to foresee the future, then wouldn't her current actions and plans also be reflected in the other person's future?
Is there a way to survive in that place?
As soon as the thought crossed Miao Yin's mind, she saw the Taoist priest slap his palm behind him, and the corner of the wall collapsed, revealing a dark passage behind it.
The fire followed closely, engulfing the cave entrance, but it fell backward and disappeared into the passage.
Without the slightest hesitation, Miao Yin immediately jumped down, her body wreathed in flames that vaguely transformed into the shape of a phoenix.
Just before they landed, the phoenix suddenly grew larger, carrying her to a steady landing on the ground.
This is a passageway that was dug out later. It doesn't belong to any part of the hospital, but it leads directly to the hospital's morgue.
The scattered embers transformed into lotus flowers and drifted away, illuminating the surroundings. Miao Yin saw countless, long-rotten bones on the ground.
In the very center of the morgue, the Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on a small hill of bones, his hands forming an orchid shape on his knees, looking like he was meditating. However, his piercing white eyes were still staring blankly at Miao Yin.
"You're a really strange guy."
Miao Yin approached the pile of corpses step by step, and even after reaching this point, she still did not sense any danger.
Come to think of it, it seems that from the very beginning, this guy never laid a hand on her. The worst injury she suffered was from stabbing herself with a knife.
Miao Yin climbed onto the pile of corpses, stepped on the chest of one of the corpses, and bent down to approach the deformed man.
"Are you waiting for me, Taoist priest?"
The skin around the fortune teller's eyes twitched, but without making a sound, like a real living corpse.
"Since you can foresee the future, you should know what I want to do, right? Or have you already seen your own fate, so you've chosen to give up?"
Miao Yin stared at the other person's withered and wrinkled face, then suddenly reached out and pressed her hand on the other person's head.
Her bright red fingernails dug into the other person's skull, sparks flying from her fingers. After a chilling tearing sound, she ripped open the other person's skull.
Inside the rotting head, a red crystal core lay quietly.
It went surprisingly smoothly.
Miao Yin threw away the bone in her hand and reached for the crystal core. Just as she was about to touch it, a withered hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The Taoist priest, whose body was stiff, moved and raised his head toward her.
In the blink of an eye, Miao Yin was standing on a highway.
A speeding car was heading towards her. Miao Yin subconsciously raised her hand, but the car passed right through her body.
Another illusion?
Suddenly, a loud crash came from behind. Miao Yin turned around and saw that the truck that had just passed through her body had crashed hard into the vehicle in front of her.
The resulting chain reaction caused more than a dozen vehicles to collide, eventually leading to the large truck crashing into the guardrail and overturning, leaving a mess on the ground.
"Multiple car accidents on the western suburbs expressway."
Miao Yin recognized the scene, so she was now transported into the memories of the fortune teller?
She looked around but didn't see a single person dressed as a Taoist priest.
So she walked toward the overturned truck.
The lock on the truck's rear door was already loose from the impact, and with two thuds, several men in hiking gear fell out from the back.
They were found unconscious on the road.
Along with them came a mahogany coffin that looked as if it contained blood that had been congealed for a thousand years.
