Jenkins had sworn not to touch a single penny of "Miss Fabry's" account, but he thought he might now violate that principle.
He knew exactly what he was doing, and he knew that once he started doing it, similar situations might happen again in the future. But Mr. Augustus's 40,000 pounds will be available soon, and as long as he gets that money, he will not only repay this shortfall, but will never be short of money again.
So, after hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind to temporarily leave the black market, took out 10,000 pounds in cash before the bank closed, and handed it directly to the huntress with the box. This person's reputation in the black market is absolutely trustworthy, otherwise Jenkins would not have put out such a large deposit at once.
The huntress asked Jenkins to come and retrieve the results next week, which was quite amazing.
"Of course, as long as there is a specific method, it is not very troublesome to find the source of the disease, and the price of this commission is very satisfactory to me. Even if it causes trouble, it is enough for me to leave Nolan for a while."
Jenkins also wanted to entrust the huntress to help him find the thousand-year-old Mu Xin, but the huntress said that she would not undertake such a task, which was the business of the middleman clown.
The clown's fee is very low, and the price of finding things is only 3 pounds, but Jenkins is very worried that once he finds the materials, he will ask for exorbitant prices.
If there was anything that would make Jenkins happy before receiving the huge sum of 40,000 pounds, then it must be Audrey's divination course.
Even if he glimpsed a corner of fate by accident, his inspiration divination still didn't make any progress. Miss Audrey thinks this is normal. The peculiarity of inspiration divination is that as long as it succeeds once, the path belonging to the fortune-teller will be completely open from then on.
She showed Jenkins a kaleidoscope as thick as a cigar in her Thursday night class. This is a kind of optical toy, one end of the cylinder is placed with a brightly colored object, the middle of the cylinder is placed with a prism, and the other end is sealed with glass with holes. People can observe beautiful symmetrical images through the hole. .
This kind of optical toy was expensive in the age when glass technology was still immature, but this era has become a common children's toy. The last time Jenkins saw a similar object was in the display case of Miss Stuart's study. sterling silver products.
"This is B-06-1-5226, Future Apocalypse, which I borrowed from Starry Sky and Equilibrium Church. Yes, don't doubt, it is the name."
According to Miss Audrey, this is an extremely rare prophecy-type numbered item, more precious than the pocket watch chain held by Jenkins that can occasionally foresee danger.
In view of the fact that the divination class in the last month has fallen into the quagmire of inspiration divination, and Jenkins accidentally peeped into fate, Miss Audrey decided to temporarily change the teaching method, intending to let Jenkins try to peek into the future with the help of objects first.
"First of all, I want to explain that there has never been any method of divination that is absolutely correct, whether it is a ritual, ability or item, it all conforms to this rule. And the future revelation can guide people to peek into those satisfactory The future, but this is still a fragment of fate, and it must not be fully believed."
Saying that, she closed her left eye, picked up the kaleidoscope and placed it over her right eye. Before Jenkins could judge the mood by the muscular changes in her face, the kaleidoscope was taken down.
"This item never shows the same picture, so each use is a different prophecy. I just saw the corner of a white card, which belongs to a rather abstract future."
With that said, he handed the kaleidoscope to Jenkins.
"The danger level of this item is 1. In addition to its frequent misleading, it also causes users to indulge in those happy futures and completely lose their aggressiveness and fighting spirit because of its frequent use. Permanent changes. Generally speaking, the same person can use it no more than 15 times in a lifetime, but there is no requirement for continuous use."
The barrel of this kaleidoscope is also made of metal, so it is a bit heavy. Jenkins rubbed the surface of the barrel with his fingertips, and found some dark lines that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
Putting it in front of the eyes like Miss Audrey did, some thin white mist obscured the vision, but it dispersed immediately.
"What did you see? Pay attention, when your eyes observe those illusions, you have already begun to touch fate, and you must carefully grasp the feeling at that moment."
"I don't seem to have any special feelings."
Jenkins now feels like an insulated rubber man, and those currents from fate cannot be conducted to him no matter how hard he tries.
But at least what the kaleidoscope reveals is interesting.
"I saw the night sky, perfectly symmetrical on both sides. But there was only that red moon in the sky, like that night a few weeks ago!"
"This shows that you may be able to benefit from the red moon, but other explanations may make sense. You can pay more attention to things related to this image around you in the near future, even if you cannot accurately grasp the direction of fate, at least You can also take the initiative to try.”
Jenkins nodded. He thought that what he saw just now most likely meant that he would eventually meet the remaining two vampires.
After resting for a while, I picked up the Wanhua mirror again and put it in front of my eyes. This time it is no longer a thin white mist, but it seems that the eyes are moving rapidly in a tunnel full of blue light. At the end of the passage, Jenkins saw the snow and mountains all over the sky. Compared with the previous simple picture, this time it was obviously much more complicated.
Miss Audrey made no comment, but let Jenkins try a third time.
He nodded, telling the cat lying on the side not to rub its paws against the blankets on other people's sofas, and then poked his head out slightly...
dang lang~
The kaleidoscope was dropped on the ground by Jenkins, as if dropping a steam bomb. There was a terrified expression on his face, and then his face turned red again.
"What's wrong?"
Miss Audrey asked hastily without picking up the kaleidoscope.
"nothing… "
He stammered, very reluctant to continue the subject.
"What do you see?"
the woman asked again.
"I... I saw some women."
The sound is as small as a mosquito.
"What are they doing?"
"...Can I not say it?"
