Chapter 506 The Invisible Future
The last cabin is different from all the previous cabins.
The air is filled with the scent of herbs mixed together.
It doesn't smell good, but it doesn't smell bad either.
The light is neither bright nor dark, just right.
As soon as I came in, I saw a super large bookshelf filled with all kinds of inexplicable books.
There is a vermilion wardrobe standing on the left side of the bookshelf. Although the paint color is a little faded, there is no extra dust. It is old but not dirty.
Next to the wardrobe is a fireplace, and firewood is burning underneath, raising the temperature in the room.
A huge black casserole is suspended above the firewood pile, emitting steam. Judging from the smell, it should be some kind of medicine.
There is a fairly large table near the middle wall, which should be made of some kind of logs, solid and old.
On the table are pen holders with feathers, prismatic mirrors, iron bird cages, and various bottles and jars.
On the chair at the back, there is a person wearing a black robe.
To be precise, it is a skeleton.
His elbows were against the table, and his body was leaning forward. The ten white hand bones were crossed together, just supporting his chin. His eyes were empty, and he looked like he was thinking.
It was obviously just a skeleton that had been dead for a long time, but it always gave people the feeling that she was still alive.
If it hadn't been identified with the biological illustration book, Ye Xing would really have thought she was a demon or something like that.
But then again, who started the fire in the room?
Forget it, don't think about it too much. I don't know if the flying beast has reached the other side. There are no windows in the cabin, so I can't see the situation outside.
Let's find the last door first.
Look left and right, up and down, where is the door?
"You trespassed into someone's territory without permission, and you didn't even say hello to the owner. You're not a gentleman at all."
An abrupt voice suddenly sounded.
Ye Xing felt a chill on his back, trying to find the source of the sound. After scanning around, his eyes were fixed on the skeleton sitting on the chair.
Although the skeleton's mouth did not move, Ye Xing's intuition told him that the sound came from her mouth.
She was speaking an ancient language, and judging from her voice, she should be a woman in her 30s.
"Since we are here, it's fate. Sit down."
The skeleton's mouth still didn't move, but her hands or finger bones moved a little, and helped Ye Xing pull a chair across the table.
"Who are you?" Ye Xing couldn't help but ask.
"My cervical spine is uncomfortable, and I'm not used to looking up at others. If you don't sit down, I can't communicate with you."
Uncomfortable spine?
You're just a skeleton!
At least he didn't feel her malice, so Ye Xing sat across from her as she said.
Looking closely, he found that the bottles and jars on the table were filled with some internal organs, some red, some green, and some yellow, soaked in unknown potions, bright in color, as if they had just been taken from a living body.
Ye Xing couldn't help but frown.
"The tea is almost ready." The skeleton snapped his fingers, and the puppet standing beside the table, who was less than one meter tall, suddenly moved. It walked slowly and coordinatedly to the fireplace, opened the lid of the casserole, scooped a pot, and returned to the original path, pouring it into two empty wooden cups on the table.
"You came at the right time. Such a great tea, ordinary people don't have the opportunity to enjoy it."
The skeleton pointed his finger in the air, and the cup moved automatically in front of Ye Xing as if it was enchanted.
Ye Xing looked down and saw that the color of the tea was scarlet as blood, revealing a sense of weirdness.
"Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?" Ye Xing felt very strange. From the results of the identification, she was obviously just a skeleton, why was she still conscious.
"Ruskin ♦ Melissa, you can call me that." The skeleton held the teacup, raised it to his mouth, and drank it all.
She had no skin or muscles on her body, and she thought the tea would spill all over the floor, but she didn't expect it to be directly absorbed by her bones.
This scene made Ye Xing smack his lips.
"Great, I'm full of energy again." The skeleton stretched his waist in a way that didn't match his image, and there were crackling sounds on his body.
"You have a bit of osteoporosis, so you need to supplement calcium when you have time." Ye Xing slowed down a little and tried to ask her something through normal communication.
"You smell bad, that's the evil breath produced by strong desire, drink a cup of tea to purify it."
"Thank you for the hospitality." The other party seemed to care about this cup of tea. Ye Xing checked it with the illustrations and found nothing suspicious, so he drank the tea as she wished.
Although the taste was rubbish, I did feel a lot purer after drinking it, and the pressure that I had hidden was also digested.
"I am a mage, or you can think of me as a fortune teller. For some reason, the soul has been imprisoned here for more than two hundred years, right?"
"You are not the first outsider I have met, but since you have the ability to come here, I can tell your fortune for free."
The skeleton revealed his identity and began to talk to himself.
"I'm not interested in divination. If you're really kind, help me open the last door." Ye Xing shook his head.
"You rejected the opportunity that others were eager for. It really hurts my heart, but the more you disagree, the more I will do divination for you."
"You have an incurable disease and are doomed to die. Everyone related to you will die a bad death, especially the one you love. Am I right?"
The skeleton man tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly.
Ye Xing was shocked when he heard this.
How did she know?
How did she know?
"It's easy to know your past, but your future is a little hard to grasp. It requires some external force."
The skeleton man had a deck of cards in his hand like a magic trick. It was not a playing card, but only eight cards, with a star symbol on the back of the card.
Ye Xing was attracted: "Is this a tarot card?"
The skeleton man shook his head: "A real wizard only needs to use element cards."
The eight cards represent eight elements, namely: air, earth, fire, water, heat, cold, wet, and dry.
The skeleton man shuffled the cards and asked Ye Xing to draw five cards from them and give them spiritual power. The method was very simple. He only needed to think about what he wanted to do most in the future when drawing the cards.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or a curse. Ye Xing drew three times in total, and the cards he drew three times were exactly the same.
After reading it, the skeleton man spoke for a long time: "You have no future, or rather, you have too many futures!"
Ye Xing was confused: "What do you mean?"
The skeleton man shook his head: "I can't see through you, but I can tell you clearly that if you give up the goal you want to achieve most now, your life will be better, otherwise, you will hurt others and yourself!"
Give up the goal?
Does she mean collecting the source of all things?
How can she give up!
Snap!
The skeleton man snapped his fingers, and two glowing doors appeared in the air.
"You can choose to move forward or backward. I can only help you here."
"Why do you want to help me? I don't remember our relationship being so good."
"Because you can, free me!" The skeleton man stretched out his hand and pointed: "Use that knife to let me, a dead soul who can't even commit suicide, get freedom. My greatest wish is to die completely!"
"So that's it, I understand."
Ye Xing took a deep breath and used the Demon Breaking Knife to kill the soul attached to the skeleton together.
A young blonde woman appeared in front of Ye Xing like a shadow, blew a breath on Ye Xing, and something sparkling with stars entered his body.
"May luck be with you."
After saying this, the mage named Ruskin Melissa completely disappeared in the natural world.
The firewood in the fireplace also went out.
[Are you okay, anchor? It's so weird. You've been talking to yourself since the beginning? ]
[You're possessed, exorcise the devil to save your life, exorcise the devil to save your life! ]
[Wake up, wake up! ]
The netizens in the live broadcast room did not see the picture of Ye Xing and the mage communicating, which means that they were just communicating with each other?
Or was it all an illusion?
Whether it was true or false, you would know it as soon as you entered.
Ye Xing chose to move forward without hesitation and stepped into the slightly turbid light gate.........
