Jenkins went to the basement to get the ceremony materials, while Miss Audrey went to the second floor of the house to get some cotton clothes. Now the temperature in the living room is probably approaching below zero.
Even in the basement, the knock on the door on time is still as loud and annoying as if it is right in the ear. When the ritual materials were prepared and the divination started, the second knocker had been knocking for about two minutes, and when the divination was over, what appeared in the round chalk circle on the coffee table were three stacked dice .
The top one has the number 2 on the front.
"What's the meaning?"
Jenkins has not been exposed to similar divination methods.
"The probability of safety is greater than the probability of danger, but the gap will not be large."
The woman's voice was inexplicably weak, and her face turned pale in the light of the fireplace.
"So should the door be opened?"
He asked his teacher again.
"Hard to say."
Miss Audrey was not sure either.
He looked down at the cat curled up next to him. He opened one eye and looked at Jenkins, then closed his eyes again so that his head could be better buried in the hair ball, and let out a pleasant "meow" ~" sound.
"Well, since this is my home, I'll make the decision."
Jenkins said, seeing that no one objected, he strode towards the hall. Glancing at [Stage of Destiny], he twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.
"Hi~ good evening~"
Outside the door was a clown with a red nose, heavy oil paint, and colored hair. Compared with the clowns who died in the mirror world, it was dressed more professionally, as if... it was really a clown.
Jenkins didn't know how to describe this feeling, but in short, the guy with the black aura in front of him didn't show any malice at this time.
The room was eerily dark and cold like a cemetery, but outside the room everything was normal, a normal spring night.
The oppressive atmosphere and annoying knocking on the door disappeared after opening the door, as if it was a normal event of a normal night in itself.
"Hey buddy, can I have a candy? I'm going to give it to the kids at the show."
asked the Joker in a flirtatious tone, with a thick accent. Jenkins heard footsteps behind him, and the women approached.
"Okay, candy..."
Jenkins has a candy box on the shoe cabinet, not to deal with trick-or-treating kids, but to keep the chocolates from wandering when they come home and give Jenkins a chance to wipe its paws clean to prevent Stain carpet or sofa.
He grabbed a handful and handed it to the clown. The clown grinned and stretched out two white-gloved hands. He took the candies and stuffed them into the belly pocket of the suspender jacket, then took off his own Red Nose handed Jenkins:
"It's sugar money, generous fellow!"
With that said, he ignored Jenkins again, turned around and walked towards the gate of the fence. At the same time, an invisible force pushed Jenkins a step into the room, and the door closed automatically.
The man held the red ball and looked at the women behind him.
"This is a friendly visitor—the red-nosed clown, named A-04-1-6671-12. It will ask the person who opens the door to provide candy, but as long as it is sugary food, it will randomly give out 'red One of the three items of Nose Bomb, 'Clown's Spatial Pocket' and 'Color Changing Wig', numbered A-04-1-6671-12(1)(2)(3)."
said Miss Broniance, and added:
"Well, we look lucky...Williamt, this ball you're holding must never be submerged in water. It's activated by being completely submerged in water, and it explodes in the water. It can be blown up in its current position. Most of Nolan."
It was getting colder and colder in the house, even curling up on the sofa with a quilt was unbearable. After welcoming the second knocker, the three returned to the living room, sitting on the sofa and relying on the flames of the fireplace to keep warm. The chocolate was of course by Jenkins' side.
"The divination just now seems to be very accurate, do you want to do another divination?"
"No, I think it's a little difficult for me."
Miss Broniance said, without touching the things on the table, but looking directly at Miss Audrey:
"Audrey, come now, let me see what you have learned after leaving my protection."
Miss Audrey bit her lip and did not refuse, but she also did not choose the three dice, but took out the divination cards as usual.
She quickly shuffles the cards, then cuts and swaps the cards according to the standard procedure. During this period, the woman's expression was calm, but her eyes could only see the whites of her eyes. Miss Audrey's divination ability has improved a lot compared to when she first came to Nolan, but Jenkins is still not optimistic about her divination this time.
Sure enough, before uncovering the selected card, her hand was already shaking. But the process of divination cannot involve the participation of a second person. After repelling the third knocker, Miss Audrey finally obtained the result of the divination.
On the card is a thin person holding a money bag and a dagger. This card is a "thief". In the general fortune-telling interpretation, this represents the impermanence of fate, which may be a money bag or a dagger.
"Miss Audrey, are you okay?"
The water in the teacup was a little cold, and Jenkins heated it with a flame before handing it to the woman. Miss Audrey thanked her softly, holding the teacup, cold sweat dripped down her cheeks and the hair sticking to her face, as if she had suddenly suffered from a serious illness. The temperature in the room is now below freezing, which is not normal.
The result of that card was another ambiguous answer, but Miss Audrey did her best. In the face of this type of monster, divination would not be useful at all. The divination just now can be somewhat effective, and luck and chance account for most of the ingredients.
da da da ~
The fourth knocker was getting impatient, and the sound of stones hitting the window glass gradually became more frequent. Except for the sofa area, the rest of the house was already surrounded by darkness, and even the flame of the fireplace was greatly suppressed.
The three of them stopped talking, and various sounds from the outside world occupied their ears.
Jenkins felt extremely depressed, and he could no longer find the comfort of living in his own house.
Looking up at the women, Miss Broniance lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking. Miss Audrey's eyes were a little dull, staring at the stack of cards on the table.
"There are still two and a half minutes, and the fourth knocker can't wait any longer. Do you have any opinions?"
He asked the two fortune tellers, and the women actually showed him expressions as if they had just woken up.
