Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Why is Sharon behaving so strangely?

She even gave her name to the client she was meeting for the first time!

Marich was truly baffled.

But it's not easy for him to ask now.

One reason is that An Ruowang, this unfamiliar client, is still here;

On the other hand, it's also because, in a sense, he could be considered Sharon's subordinate.

Although they are ostensibly allies of the Temperance faction, Sharon is a Sequence 5 "vengeful spirit," while he is merely a Sequence 6 "living corpse." Naturally, in any situation, Sharon's opinion takes precedence more.

Although Marich was shocked by Sharon's unusual behavior, An Ruowang didn't feel anything. She even thought that Sharon, who had only said two sentences, was quite indifferent, which was quite in line with her character.

A classic character with no personality, no emotions, and no special skills—that's perfectly normal.

Little did she know that saying just two sentences was already considered very enthusiastic by her.

"Aleister," An Ruowang introduced herself, using the exact same phrasing as Sharon, "You can call me that."

He paused, then spoke again:

"If it's £1000 for three days, I'll prepay £100. Starting now, I'll pay £300 for each day that goes by, until the third day ends. Is that alright?"

Three days should be enough.

Dorian received the message on the first day, and was given a day to meet and discuss it with the Abrahamic elders. He should arrive on the third day.

Sharon nodded slightly, so lightly it was almost imperceptible, like the flickering of a flame in the wind, and responded softly:

"Um."

This was the third thing she said tonight.

Maric sat in the corner watching this scene, his facial muscles twitching as he felt his body, which had become a "living corpse" after his advancement, come back to life.

Seeing that she had agreed to the deal, An Ruowang took out a small stack of banknotes from her pocket.

He counted out one hundred pounds and handed it to Sharon: "This is the advance payment."

His fingers, gripping the edge of the banknote, hovered in mid-air.

Sharon didn't take it immediately, but instead looked at him quietly, her azure eyes like a clear, bright lake, looking a little dazed.

After a pause, her pale, slender fingers slowly emerged from the wide sleeves of her black court dress.

As her hand drew closer, An Ruowang could clearly feel that the temperature nearby seemed to drop significantly, and her spirituality subtly contracted as well.

Peter was startled?

In a sense, yes.

Because the next second, whether it was due to a lack of concentration or some other reason, Sharon did not materialize when she was about to receive the gold pound.

Her fingers went straight through the banknote, and her soft fingertips accidentally brushed against An Ruowang's palm.

It's icy cold.

An Ruowang didn't feel any cold air entering his body or a chilling aura enveloping him, but he inexplicably felt an itchy discomfort on his back, as if someone was silently watching him from behind.

He subconsciously frowned and looked down at his palm.

Nothing was left there.

There were no ice stains, no white or red marks, as if Sharon's touch had just been an illusion.

An Ruowang looked up and gazed at Sharon again.

She put the gold pound away, her expression unchanged, remaining as calm as a porcelain doll, as if nothing had just happened.

"You're divining my fate?"

Although it was a question, An Ruowang's eyes and tone were quite certain.

Perhaps it was the enhanced inspiration brought about by his diviner nature, or perhaps it was because he had been consuming gray fog every day for the past few days; his spiritual intuition was remarkably sensitive and accurate.

Since the world's most wheelchair-bound "spiritual intuition" had reacted, and combined with the feeling of being watched from behind just now, An Ruowang's clever mind immediately realized what was going on.

The "vengeful spirits" of Prisoner Path Sequence 5, because of the unity of spirit and body, can be considered as spiritual beings, and can directly communicate with the spirit world, which will greatly enhance both divination and spiritual intuition.

At the same time, the "vengeful spirits" also possess the ability to divination against them. Any divination directed at them will only reveal a transparent, seemingly non-existent face, or a face shrouded in darkness.

Sharon touched him when she received the gold pound to establish a connection with him and to divine his fate.

Looking back now, it seems that this was actually the other party's goal.

She touched his palm with her fingertips before taking the gold pound.

Before the divination was performed on him, Sharon's spiritual intuition must have given her some hints.

"What did you get from the divination?"

An Ruowang was not angry because she had been told the divination.

There is no reason why he should be the only one using divination while others are not allowed to use it.

The extraordinary world is not a children's game; everyone has their own methods and trump cards.

He was actually quite curious about what would happen when others tried to divine his fate.

The fact that he didn't send it on the spot upon landing indicates that he possesses a certain level of high status, enabling him to defy divination and prophecy.

Now, he has established initial contact with Yuanbao and entered a period of budding, ambiguous budding.

He wanted to know what others would see when they divined his fate under these conditions.

It was a gray fog where nothing could be seen.

Is it a blurry human figure?

Is it still an undecipherable chaos and nothingness?

Sharon looked up, her azure eyes flickering slightly: "You are...?"

She paused:

"Important people".

Then, she lowered her eyes:

"Feel sorry."

An important person?

An Ruowang fell into thought.

"Sorry" should be her apologizing for the fortune telling she did in person, but what does it mean that I am an "important person"?

Was she being deliberately vague and ambiguous in her statement?

An Ruowang looked up and met those azure eyes, which showed no trace of flinching or avoidance.

No, it doesn't look like it.

That's true. Sharon is a member of the temperance school and a traitor to the Rose School. How could she possibly flirt with someone and create ambiguity?

In other words, her divination most likely only yielded such vague information, and she was even unable to interpret anything else.

Then another question arises: why is it that her divination can derive information?

In An Ruowang's imagination, the best information Sharon received from the divination was that "he was just an ordinary person, like other Runes."

If nothing can be divined, or if strange things happen, it actually indicates that something is wrong with a person.

The greatest hermits live in the city; this is the principle at play.

Because of his initiative in seeking out the other party and his friendly attitude with a pre-set stance, he established some mystical connections with Sharon, and the passive and selective revelation of some things by the anti-divination method.

Or perhaps, revealing this information would be beneficial to him?

He planned to join the group to help Sharon fight against the hedonistic faction, so he was an important person to her.

An Ruowang opened her mouth as if to ask Sharon something, but then thought better of it and decided against it.

Asking her is pointless; it's better to find another reference point.

It's a tag-and-recapture method.

Oops, just kidding, it's the controlled variable method.

New variables will soon arrive.

You mean it, right, Sequence 7 astrologer, Dorian Grey Abraham?
