The turbulent night passed by slowly.
Not long after, morning came.
The sun shines on the earth, making Tokyo, which had fallen into silence in the middle of the night, revitalize and become noisy again.
And in a luxurious room on the top floor of a high-end hotel, a girl was quietly waking up from the bed.
"here it is... ?"
Kyoko made such a sound like a murmur, and it seemed that she was not quite sober yet.
But the next second, an unhappy voice woke her up.
"This is the stronghold of human traffickers. If I say this, can it make you, a silly girl, wake up a little and realize how dangerous things you did yesterday?"
Such a sound rang out and reached Jingzi's ears.
"...!"
Jingzi was suddenly startled, turned her head sharply, and looked in the direction of the window.
There, the young man took off the dark coat he had been wearing and wore casual clothes. He sat on the window edge, folded his arms, and looked at Kyoko as if he rolled his eyes.
"Autumn... !"
Jingzi subconsciously sat up with fierce momentum, but soon her body swayed and she fell down.
Seeing this, Luo Zhen had no choice but to speak.
"Okay, just lie there for now. I've checked it for you. It's nothing serious. But you have used the ability of "Star Chant" many times. Not only is it very draining, but your spirit is also very unstable. No. If you take a good rest, you won’t be able to get out of bed again in the next few days.”
Hearing this, Jingzi was startled at first, and then spoke in shock.
"you know?"
Kyoko looked a little surprised.
Luo Zhen naturally knew what she wanted to say.
"You want to say, why do I know that you have the ability of , right?"
Luo Zhen's tone was still full of annoyance.
However, the content of Luo Zhen's words was enough to surprise anyone.
——〈Star Chant〉.
An extremely rare ability to perform divination and prediction by observing changes in the stars.
In the past, only a few witches and priests with special qualifications could possess this ability. Nowadays, even if we search all over the world, we can only count the number of people with this ability.
In today's world of magic, only two people are recognized as possessing such abilities. One is Kurahashi Miyo, a member of Onmyojuku, and the other is Tsuchimikado Yasumi, the current head of the Tsuchimikado family.
But Kyoko has awakened this ability.
"Considering that you inherited the bloodline of your grandmother who has the ability of "Star Chant", it doesn't seem strange that you will awaken." Luo Zhen said: "Not to mention that you can find me again and again. How could a trace be done if not by stargazing?”
Stargazing is the ability to perform divination by observing the stars. It can predict the future to a certain extent. No matter how good Luo Zhen's "invisibility" is, it is impossible to avoid the observation of this ability.
Unless Luo Zhen uses a special method to cover his own star, or casts a spell on himself that will cause curses or backlash to those who attempt to stargaze him, otherwise, from Luo Zhen's appearance, From the beginning of this world, the rotation of the stars will definitely include its existence.
Therefore, Luo Zhen had already guessed that Jingzi had awakened as a stargazer and acquired the ability to "Star Chant".
But...
"You probably awakened your ability in the past year and a half. Not to mention you are not yet proficient, and your ability itself is not very high, but you have been stargazing frequently in just one day. Aren't you afraid of death?"
Luo Zhen's tone became full of condemnation.
But this is definitely not Luo Zhen’s alarmism.
You must know that the power of stargazing is not an omnipotent ability to predict the future. Even if the rotation of the stars can predict everything, the extent to which it can be "seen" depends on the ability of the practitioner.
Just like Luo Zhen, the power of his "Mind's Eye" can also see through all the past and future, and peek into the records of the world. However, the endless information will overwhelm Luo Zhen's brain, and Luo Zhen can only use it selectively. It protects itself by not peeking into too many records, and only peeking into the past and future of tens of minutes before and after when needed.
The same goes for stargazers. Even though the rotation of the stars is like a record of the world itself, showing all the future, it is simply a fantasy for a human being to want to watch all of them.
If stargazers make a mistake in using their abilities or overdo it, not only will their spirits be eroded by inaccurate impressions, but they may also be distracted by the endless mysteries of the rotation of stars in the process of stargazing. Get sucked in and never come back.
Stargazing is a double-edged sword. If you abuse it, you will pay the price sooner or later.
Kyoko's ability has only been awakened for about a year and a half, and she is very immature in using it. However, she still used it frequently today. It is a blessing that she did not have a mental breakdown, let alone that she used this immature ability. She has accurately observed Luo Zhen's horoscope many times, which is already an extraordinary performance and beyond her ability. As a result, her spiritual energy was disordered, her spiritual power was exhausted, and she was dying for a time.
To put it bluntly, if Luo Zhen had not taken Jingzi away in time and used a spell to stabilize her aura, spiritual power and even soul, Jingzi would have become a vegetative state and would never wake up.
Under such circumstances, how could Luo Zhen not condemn it
However, Jingzi was not angry, disappointed, or frightened. She just looked at Luo Zhen blankly.
After a while, Kyoko smiled.
Smile beautifully.
"So, do you also care about me?"
Kyoko looked happy about this.
Luo Zhen was so angry that he laughed instead.
"You still feel happy about the relationship, right?" Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know that if I hadn't appeared in time, you would have been..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Luo Zhen's words were interrupted.
"But you showed up in time." Jingzi looked directly at Luo Zhen and said in a strong voice: "Moreover, I successfully found you."
Luo Zhen's brows suddenly raised.
"I found you." Jingzi said as if announcing the result: "In that case, should you fulfill your promise and let me become your shikigami?"
This girl is actually still thinking about this matter.
Luo Zhen fell silent for a moment.
Seeing Luo Zhen like this, Jingzi couldn't help but become nervous.
It was obvious that Kyoko felt uneasy and uneasy about Luo Zhen's reaction.
Because Jingzi didn't know if Luo Zhen would recognize this result.
But Jingzi has made up her mind. No matter what, she will stay here and stay with Luo Zhen. Even if she becomes his shikigami, she will not hesitate.
Just when Jingzi was so determined and ready to say something more, Luo Zhen finally spoke.
"Do you really want to be my shikigami?"
Luo Zhen looked at Xiang Jingzi, his expression and tone were very indifferent.
"Do you know what will happen to you after making this choice?"
The indifferent words made Kyoko's breath hitch.
