"There is a very strange rumor about [Stage] mythos. When fate meets the stage, this ability will produce weird and interesting changes. At the same time, all the abilities that make up the mythos will lose their effect, and [Stage] Will evolve into a unique special chain... "
Jenkins is not interested in this chain ability. After all, he has not fully explored the potential of the many abilities he possesses. Not to mention, he only has two ability bubbles left, and he can't learn this demanding fan lock at all. The cat, who was hugged tightly by Jenkins, looked up at the red-haired girl, and then yawned.
"What do you think of the stage, Hathaway?"
Jenkins asked in passing, and both Alexia and Britney had interesting views on this, and even connected with fate.
"Stage? Well-written scripts, directed by irresistible actors."
Hathaway thought for a while before answering. She pointed to Jenkins' cat. It seemed uncomfortable to be held, but for unknown reasons, she didn't resist:
"Just like chocolate, although you have a certain degree of freedom, in fact, the left and right actions have been planned by you. The stage is almost the same thing. Although it looks interesting, there is only one ending after all."
Chocolate struggled dissatisfied, so that it would not be restricted by Jenkins... except for the current situation.
"What if you rebel against the script?"
Jenkins asked.
"Lose your own job, I don't think anyone would do that."
The red-haired girl said softly, "Could it be that our opera made you think about more problems? Since you are also a playwright, you should also understand that although the story on stage is wonderful, it is not freedom."
"What is freedom?"
Jenkins asked.
"We can make our own decisions in our lives."
"oh… "
He thought of the so-called fate, the "Epic of Time", and the playwright Mr. Pisco who lived his life waiting for him.
"Making decisions autonomously... the stage of destiny."
Britney met her friends at Stryker's Camp outside the city, which is more like a small town, even though it's called a camp. Travelers who came to Nolan City for various reasons usually rested in the woods near the camp before entering the city, and a small town of today's size was formed hundreds of years later.
It was her friends at school that Britney met. Although Jenkins rarely heard of his friends going to school, they were really students of the noble girls' school whose names Jenkins had forgotten.
The town was small, but there was no sign of Goldilocks at Britney's friends' homes. The young female student hesitated for a long time and didn't know how to explain it, and finally explained Britney's whereabouts.
"She just went shopping after dinner, don't blame her, Hathaway."
The girl hesitated to speak.
Jenkins and Hathaway found the [Enciks Grocery Store] easily. This is a real grocery store. After opening the door and entering, Jenkins was shocked by all kinds of garbage inside. After opening the curtain and going to the back of the store, he found that it was a divination room.
Hathaway's complexion immediately turned ugly. She had strictly prohibited Brienne from touching these things again, and it was obvious that the blonde girl had lied.
Ordinary people are eager to predict their fate, so various divination methods have been invented. The things behind the grocery store are obviously tricks of ordinary people. Although Jenkins has not been able to get started with divination, he can still tell the truth from the fake.
The room had no windows, and the only remaining door was hung with black blackout curtains. The room was extremely dim, and one could see star maps painted on the walls, as well as strange things such as white lines from the ceiling, playing cards hanging from the white lines, and statues on the wall.
The only source of light here is in the center of the room, an oil lamp and a crystal ball on a square table covered with a dark blue tablecloth, and a huge human eye is painted on the tablecloth.
Originally, during the divination process, strangers were not allowed to enter, but Jenkins is very rich now, so the two walked in.
"... That's it, your love will be very smooth, but what you want may not really belong to you. Yes, I saw it, I saw the omen of fate, I saw it, your future is bright..."
These were just a few words heard after approaching. Judging from the back, it was Britney who was divination there.
He already felt that Hathaway's anger could not be restrained, so he motioned for her to come forward to say hello, and he took the cat back to the door and waited for them to come out. There's no need for him to stay inside, it will definitely be embarrassing if he quarrels in a while.
His Eye of Reality seemed to have no effect on Duoshe's soul, but the murderer still had something strange in his hand. And if the old key keeper didn't carry the gun to cover up his identity, then this person was no threat to Hathaway.
That's why he boldly returned to the store. The middle-aged owner of the store showed an ambiguous smile to Jenkins.
The Eye of Reality glanced around but saw nothing, and then turned its attention to the center of a pile of sacks placed in disorder. There are piles of little scraps of paper in those dirty pockets, which seem to be souvenirs used by travelers for blessings, and the stairs lead directly to the second floor.
"What's on the second floor?"
Jenkins asked, and the boss knew that he was spending a lot of money, so he stroked his beard and replied enthusiastically:
"Drugstore, peddling some very handy remedies. Take away fatigue, make your brain smarter, get rid of mosquitoes, or... make you stronger."
"oh."
Jenkins suddenly lost interest there.
In fact, he is now curious about what happened behind the curtain, but at least the two people should not be arguing now. Jenkins knew that Hathaway would never be strong in front of Britney, but he also knew that Hathaway had her own bottom line.
Because of Britney's interest in the supernatural and the occult, the two girls had a fierce quarrel, especially after the illegal channeling. But no one would take the initiative to mention this to Jenkins, so he didn't know what it would be like when the girls quarreled.
It's boring to stand outside the door, and here is a grocery store. It's always bad to walk out the door empty-handed, and Jenkins figured he might be able to buy something. But he still remained vigilant, and still held the metal block in his left hand in his pocket. Once a spirit with a strange gun appears, Jenkins will never let him go.
