Chapter 443 Ominous Signs
Chapter 443 Ominous Signs
"Why...?" Fan Wei was stunned and speechless for a moment, subconsciously asking the question.
But seeing Hitomi's helpless and sad appearance, he felt a sudden pang of sadness in his heart. He didn't ask any more questions, but instead went to the prophet and gently comforted her.
"Sorry I'm late! Leave the rest to me."
This calm voice finally gave Tong a sense of security. She leaned to one side and threw herself into Fan Wei's arms, who was caught off guard, and hugged him tightly. A smile appeared through her tears.
A soft voice murmured, "I knew it! I knew... you would come to save me!"
Fan Wei didn't expect Tong to react so strongly, but he figured she must be very uneasy to be so emotional. He sighed and took the initiative to hug Tong, who was curled up in his arms.
Dust stood to the side, staring blankly at the two of them, its mind a complete mess.
I...I became the one who came later??
"Alright, alright, don't be afraid, I'm here! Even if it's a huge problem, I'll handle it!" Fan Wei repeatedly reassured Tong, grinning as he made a boast.
But the prophet believed it wholeheartedly.
"Of course, this is my prophecy. You are destined to be a great hero who saves the world!" Tong said, sniffling with delight.
Fan Wei was skeptical about the prophecy. He didn't know if it could save the world, but saving his friends was definitely his important mission.
"Let's go inside. I made quite a commotion when I barged in last, and I even killed a lot of your bodyguards."
"I wonder if this will trigger an alarm?"
Tong's emotions gradually stabilized. As if realizing that her behavior had crossed the line, she raised her head with a slightly flushed face: "Don't worry, the security of the lower area is actually in my hands."
"As the strongest prophet, I am the greatest early warning and protection of the Pupil Agency!"
"As for those Blade Maidens, there's no need to worry about them. They can't be killed at the core of the Eye Mechanism; they'll revive after some time."
Somewhat bewildered, Tong reached out her hands around, seemingly trying to find a wall; she truly couldn't see anything now.
"Take my hand." Fan Wei took Tong's hand and led her towards the room door as the Prophet's heart beat slightly faster.
Looking ahead at the tall, reliable, black-haired man with a gentle smile, she carefully led the blue-haired girl, who was a head shorter than him, slowly away.
The dust behind him made him feel uneasy.
However, it's quite normal that someone as warm-hearted as him would shine his light on more than one person...
With his thoughts in disarray, Dust silently followed.
In the same poorly ventilated living room, Fan Wei helped Tong in and sat her down. After looking her over, he surprisingly started cleaning.
"A clean environment is better for your health."
He said earnestly, as always, he cleaned the room quickly and efficiently, and then brewed some calming tea. The warm and fragrant tea immediately brought a lively atmosphere to the room.
Pupil couldn't see, but she could hear, smell, and feel. All sorts of beautiful concepts seemed to move with that target, forming a clear outline in the pitch-black field of vision.
Not so dramatic, but deeply moving, Misr Van...
"So, what exactly happened?" After washing his hands and handing teacups to the two ladies, Fan Wei finally asked with a serious expression.
Tong's injury is definitely not simple. You must know that she is the core of the Empire's intelligence network! Losing her vision, which is used for prophecy, is equivalent to the Empire being blinded! It's simply unimaginable.
The Royal Council's ban only fuels speculation that this is some kind of conspiracy from above.
Tong gripped the teacup tightly, hesitating repeatedly as the warmth rose in her palm, before finally speaking, "Actually, it's because I made a prophecy..."
"That prophecy touched upon an extremely terrifying being; He discovered my spying!"
"I only had time to hear a sneer before I felt my soul being drawn into a vortex of blades! Even though I instinctively broke free, a force from afar blinded me!"
Her face was very pale, and she seemed to be feeling palpitations. Tong put down her teacup and slowly raised her hand to remove the intricately patterned eye mask.
Fan Wei saw her eyes again. Those once dreamlike, ultramarine eyes now had a dark mark that seemed to break off from the middle of the iris!
The star-like white pupils were swallowed up, turning into nothingness and a hideous rift.
A layer of grayish-white gloom covered Tong's eyes. She not only lost her ability to predict the future, but also lost her sight as a normal person.
"What prophecy is it?" Fan Wei asked, puzzled.
Prophecies involving high-level powers should be something a prophet should be able to sense the risks of, yet Tong took such a huge risk. Was she forced into it?!
Tong fell silent. Just as Fan Wei was about to say, "No matter how much resistance there is, I will seek justice for her," the prophet's response took him by surprise.
"I made a prophecy for you..."
Those empty eyes stared in vain toward the sound, but showed no sign of regret. "Misser, I predicted before that you would be in danger, great danger!"
"So I want to see it clearly!"
"Is it because of...me?"
Fan Wei was stunned, as was the dust sitting next to him. On the contrary, Miss Prophet forced a smile.
"Don't worry about it~ Revealing the future and finding the truth, isn't that the duty of a prophet?"
"It is our mission to turn the tide and save the poor souls in distress!"
Then Tong lowered her head in anguish, "But I'm so useless. I could have seen the source of the problem if I had just tried a little harder, but I was still discovered."
"I only see a giant behind you..."
This was the information that Hitomi had painstakingly gleaned from that prophecy that should never have been foretold, at a great cost! However, she suddenly began to tremble, and her voice became uncontrollable.
"It's not symbolic; it's a real-life scenario!"
"A giant that blots out the sky! Trampling magnificent ruins, the scorched earth churns with blood! You are in his shadow!"
"Who is He? Who is He?"
Recalling the extremely terrifying scene she had witnessed, Hitomi's body trembled uncontrollably. Her traumatized mind was wracked with excruciating pain, and even her eyes, which had been sealed by some kind of force, became dark and gloomy.
"Stop!" Fan Wei grabbed Tong's wrist, preventing her from being hurt by the memories.
This was not the first time he had witnessed such a terrifying display of power; some high-ranking beings, along with their messages, were harmful to those in lower positions.
Memories, portraits, names, and voices, if they contain malice, will be a nightmare for the person who comes into contact with them for the rest of their life!
Such beings are sometimes called gods, sometimes demons, and sometimes other indescribable things.
Interrupted by Fan Wei's low shout, Tong gasped for breath, silently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and regained her composure. "I'm fine, it's just... a little bit of an adjustment."
Although he said it lightly, he couldn't hide his bravado.
Before Fan Wei arrived, she was probably just like this, huddled in her room, facing inescapable memories of fear, struggling helplessly over and over again.
That's why I was so excited when I heard the sound.
