Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 208, Section 039: The Psychic
"Data has been uploaded."

"Task settlement is in progress."

The blonde beauty had a sweet voice.

Nao's voice was unhurried as she typed on the keyboard, her slender fingers lightly tapping, waiting for the progress bar to reach 100%.

Jin Ziyue sat opposite her without saying a word.

From this vantage point, one can clearly see Nao dressed in a smart white shirt and black skirt, showcasing the beautiful curves of a successful career woman.

This is the Kyoto branch of the organization, used to receive users. Jin Ziyue thought to himself, "Have they become so powerful that they can openly conduct transactions?"

"Rest assured, each independent company will only host one VIP guest, and nearly a thousand people in the entire office building will cover for you, so your whereabouts will not be exposed."

“And the others are also genuine financial businesses.” Nao smiled, his fingers slightly pausing on the keyboard. “They generate huge returns every day, like a heart pumping money.”

This is the financial hub of Zuojingdu, and Nao, nominally an office clerk, is in fact the person in charge of 70% of the companies in this office building.

Even her colleagues didn't know that this blonde woman from out of town could influence the direction of large parts of the stock market with just a few taps in her spare time.

"Mr. Akahoshi has successfully traveled to Ukyoto. The information on the assassination team, the 'Shadow Legion,' has been submitted and verified to be true. Mr. Kagami, congratulations on completing your mission once again."

Nao stood up and bowed politely.

Jin Ziyue only uttered two words: "Reward".

“Understood.” Nao smiled and raised the projection pen in his hand, remotely controlling the projector to project onto the wall.

On the screen, a set of pictures appears, including a yellowed photograph showing the site where a small mountain temple evolved into a dwelling.

"According to our investigation, we discovered an ancient clan that has been mediums for generations, capable of communicating between the living and the dead. In ancient times, they were a renowned family of yin-yang and feng shui practitioners. They contributed significantly to the war against the Others, but later, their numbers dwindled, and after a period of decline, they withdrew into seclusion with resentment."

After Nao finished her introduction, the projection on the wall continued.

"What we have found now is a branch of the clan. They are living in the city under an assumed name, Sanshui."

"The former master of the Sanshui family still maintains contact with the Fate Master. Now the family has fallen on hard times and only one person remains. But rest assured, the Sanshui family members are born with the ability to communicate between the Yin and Yang realms, and the only remaining member, Miss Sanshui Linxin, is praised as a genius by the head of the Sanshui family. I believe she can help you solve your problem."

"What if she's not capable enough?" Jin Ziyue looked at the young girl in the photo, his face turning cold.

Nao smiled faintly: "Please rest assured, the reward you earned through your life-and-death struggle will not disappoint you. If Miss Sanshui is indeed not satisfactory, you can apply for a replacement without any conditions, but you will need to wait a while. Even for an organization with eyes and ears all over the world, it will take some time to find someone in District 16 who can communicate with spirits and verify their authenticity."

Jin Ziyue then gave up: "I understand."

He glanced at the girl in the photo. She was a teenager, probably in high school. Her face looked somewhat haggard, and her eyes were lifeless. In the background of the photo, he could see passersby and classmates talking loudly, while she sat quietly in her seat listening to music.

"Give me information about this girl."

"It will be sent to your private email address shortly."

Jin Ziyue nodded, got up and left.

"Please take your time." Nao bowed deeply, bending down at a ninety-degree angle.

By the time she looked up, Jin Ziyue had already walked out of the office.

The woman adjusted her glasses, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

……

"Does the information from 'All Rivers Flow into the Sea' also point to the Sanshui family?"

Fu Xun stared at the girl in the photo, then glared at Jin Ziyue.

"What kind of hint is this?"

Jin Ziyue, on the other hand, had already begun to think about how to approach high school girls.

Their goal was clear: they needed to understand what was wrong with Fu Qin's soul and why the [Soul Prayer and Dream Invocation] couldn't summon her.

The effect was still significant on Qing Yise. Even when she was expelled from her body by the Life Words, she could regain her senses through the Life Words' self-guidance.

Incidentally, Qing Yise did not choose to go home, but instead stayed with [Soul Prayer Dream].

Now she gets along well with Destiny's Words, and with the help of [Soul Prayer and Dream Inquiry], the carefree girl has started her part-time work and study travel life in District 16.

Especially after a long conversation, she understood Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun's purpose. The two of them had traveled across the ocean and actually had the audacity to try to use the "Hundred Rivers Converging into the Sea" to investigate the cause of Fu Qin's death. It wasn't that investigating the cause of death was difficult, but rather that using the "Hundred Rivers Converging into the Sea" was extremely challenging. As far as she knew, the century-old decree was incredibly fierce, and to have to collect all the "Hundred Rivers" was simply unheard of.

The reason the Elders issued a warrant for Jin Ziyue's arrest was because the entire clan of [Baichuan Huihai] had used its resources to resist a cataclysmic natural disaster, but he had instead used them for his personal feelings.

Collecting "Hundred Rivers" by an individual is completely different from collecting "Hundred Rivers" by an entire clan.

For a moment, Qing Yise was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

What stirred up the fate of the entire clan, including his own, was the man's obsession with his girlfriend.

She didn't linger; staying with Jin Ziyue would only be a burden. So, she bid farewell to Jin Ziyue and [Soul Prayer Dream] together.

[Soul Prayer and Dream Request] initially refused no matter what, throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child. Jin Ziyue was somewhat taken aback; its temperament seemed remarkably similar to that of Sada Haruko. Of course, all of this was relayed through Qing Yise's words, and he had no way of verifying it.

Later, Qing Yise said she would keep a close eye on their movements and help them if necessary, and that she wouldn't go too far, which finally calmed things down.

Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun exchanged a glance, neither of them having ever seen such a spiritually profound prophecy.

……

Late at night, Jin Ziyue changed his IP address and quickly bypassed the Great Firewall to access a forum called "Breakfast Meeting".

[The Night Watch Champion can win]: Oh, what a rare guest.

Jin Ziyue's ID remains [Brian].

[Brian]: I'd like some new weapons; the ones I have recently acquired have been destroyed in combat.

[C cup]: Ahhh, use it sparingly! There's only 98% left in stock!

[Lancer]: I'm going to the 16th ward next week, so I can bring it with me. [winking emoji]
[C cup]: I feel like Eun-chan's opponents are getting stronger and stronger. Your group needs to organize and prepare some nuclear weapons...

[What can the Night Watch champion win?]: One person attains enlightenment, and the whole family ascends to heaven?

【Slaughter a City for You (11 years old)】: I recently improved my lightsaber. Now it consumes less energy, has a longer maximum length, and can be drawn faster. On the hour?

[C cup]: No, no, no, I think my liquid memory metal is better. Would you like some snow gallium?
[Lancer]: Upstairs, you've applied a layer and you still haven't delivered my gun?
【Slaughter a City for You (11 years old)】: Sister, do you think this thing is for storing newbie packages? The riot police will be at your doorstep with AKs in less than half a day.

[Fried Rice with Egg]: How often do you need to use it? I'll adjust the parameters here to help you disassemble a Gundam with your bare hands.

[C cup]: I've never heard of a flamethrower being able to dismantle a Gundam with bare hands; it's more like being roasted.
[Brian]: Within a week, we will provide five new alloy melee weapons, three laser weapons, and thermal weapons as needed. Chemical weapons will be provided in three batches. We can also provide some items for the Fate Master.

[The night watch champion can win]: Understood! [Smiling sheepishly.jpg]
[Fried Rice with Egg]: I'm packing up my heavy firepower weapon right now!

[Lancer]: I can't possibly deliver that many.

【Slaughtering a City for You (11 years old)】: Gunner, all you have to do is come to my side and bring your weapons...

[Lancer]: Okay, as expected of you, apply a layer!
[Egg Fried Rice]: Ah, what should I spread on it? It's so wet and slippery, it'll make things easier.

……

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Jin Ziyue briefly discussed his current situation and then logged off.

[Fu Zi's Anecdotes]

One day, the couple had a fight.

Jin Ziyue: Woman! You're walking a tightrope while heavily pregnant—you're taking a huge risk!
Fu Qin (with a cold snort): You're the one who took the risk, aren't you?

Jin Ziyue: You're like hanging a lantern in a latrine—looking for shit!
Fu Qin (sneer): You're asking Heniantang for knife wound medicine—you're about to die!
So, the next day...

P.S.: I hope my recent jokes haven't been throttled yet? Although there's some patchwork involved, the ideas are my own >0<
