Chapter 699 – Defeating Magic with Magic

　　Caran walked to the front of the store and reached out to gently push the store’s metal roller shutter door, which was already thoroughly corroded and fragile like white paper, collapsing inwards and rolling up a large amount of smoke and dust.

　　The dim light shone into the store, under the thick accumulation of dust, one could barely recognize the old electrical appliances that were originally placed inside, but without exception, they had all been scrapped, and behind the decayed counter was a curtain, leaving the entire store empty.

　　The three people present, all of whom had experience walking in the mists, were not too surprised to see this scene, in the long years and the erosion of the mists, these buildings had long since lost their original support, and were at a high risk of collapsing at any moment.

　　”Seven Nights and the others, are they really in a place like this?” Calan stood in the doorway and asked with some concern.

　　”No, Lin Qiye and the others have all taken relevant courses in the training camp, as long as they come here, they will definitely recognize this place as Japan, and then recall the map and figure out how to cross the sea from here back to Daxia.” Wu Xiangnan opened his mouth and explained.

　　”But it’s been two years and they haven’t returned yet, so I think that they should have been caught up in the ‘Circle of Man’.”

　　”Isn’t this place the ‘Circle of Man’?”

　　”No, this is just Japan covered in mist.” The knight continued, “This kind of place is not at all a place where humans can survive, they should be in some realm or artifact created by the Japanese god, and the gap to enter it should be around here.”

　　”How should we go about finding this gap?”

　　”It’s hard to find it with just us.” The knight looked around and pulled out a pixelated wind device similar to a cell phone from his pocket, which displayed a map of Japan, a green light kept scanning the surrounding area, but found nothing.

　　”However, the ‘paratrooper’ should be looking for the gap by now, so as long as we wait for him to send out a signal at the gap, I’ll be able to pick it up here, and then we’ll be able to go in through the gap.”

　　”That means we can’t do anything now?”

　　”That’s right.”

　　Caran held the black box in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, and she let out a long sigh.

　　Wu Xiangnan could see the urgency in her heart and walked to her side, comforting her, “Jia Lan, I know you’re in a hurry right now, but there are some things that can’t be rushed……. In this way, I’ll teach you some simple Japanese first in the next two days, and wait until you’ve entered the ‘circle of people’ ‘ after that, even if something happens, you can still be somewhat prepared.”

　　After hesitating for a moment, Calan nodded heavily, “Good!”

　　By the time Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruhide returned to the house, Hoshimi Shota had already walked out of the bedroom with Takehime and started repairing the damage in the living room.

　　Takehime was carrying wood from somewhere in her hands and waiting at the side, while Hoshimi Shota was standing by the damaged wall, carefully measuring something before starting to repair the leaking wall with wooden boards.

　　Luckily, originally this house was also built from a wooden structure, and in Hoshimi Shota’s hands, these walls, which had been blasted out of their gaping holes, were being restored to their original state little by little.

　　Amamiya Haruhide walked to his side and spoke in surprise, “You can still repair the house?”

　　”When I was in the countryside before, I built a house in the mountains with my father, so I know a little.” Hoshimi Shota saw that Amamiya Haruhide and Lin Qiye had returned, and as if he remembered something, his cheeks flushed slightly before he said seriously, “Don’t worry Amamiya, the house was broken by this demon girl, I’ll be responsible for fixing it for her.”

　　Muji carried a tall wooden board and stood aside, looking at the busy Hoshimi Shota with a smile on her face.

　　Amamiya Haruhide nodded and didn’t say anything more, if Hoshimi Shota could help him fix the house, it would also save him from paying for someone else.

　　”I think that the time for us to enter the ruins needs to be moved up.” Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and said seriously to Amamiya Haruhide.

　　”Because of that mysterious person just now?”

　　”That’s right, if his goal is the same as ours, it’s that relic you mentioned …… then we’ll be at a passive disadvantage if he goes in earlier than us. Now that we’ve got the diving equipment, we don’t need to wait until the day after tomorrow.”

　　”You have a point.” Amamiya Haruhui agreed with Lin Qiye’s idea, “Then we’ll leave tonight? Or wait until tomorrow?”

　　”After twelve o’clock tonight, we’ll try the prophecy twice more, and regardless of the outcome of the prophecy, we’ll have to enter the ruins overnight.” Lin Qiye said seriously.

　　”Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

　　”However, before we proceed with the game, I’m going to make some preparations ……”

　　Hearing Lin Qiye’s words, Amamiya Haruhui froze slightly, “Make preparations? What kind of preparations?”

　　Lin Qiye glanced at Wu Ji, who was standing at the side, and slowly spoke, “Preparations to win the game ……”

　　The Asylum of the Gods.

　　In the study, Mei Lin looked at Lin Qiye, who had a serious face in front of him, and spoke with some surprise:

　　”A way to win the game over the prophets?”

　　”That’s right.” Lin Qiye nodded, “The other party seems to be able to spy on fate to a certain extent, and conventional means can’t win against her, so I’ve come to ask for your advice.”

　　Mei Lin looked at Lin Qiye for a long time, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

　　”What’s wrong? Lord Merlin?”

　　”Trying to win a seer might be difficult for others, but it’s not a problem for you.” Merlin said with a smile.

　　Lin Qiye was a bit puzzled, “Why?”

　　”Have you heard of a saying? Only magic can defeat magic.” Mei Lin reached out and stroked his beard and laughed, “Sitting in front of you is a great god of magic, the originator of prophecy magic, with me here, as long as I slightly deflect part of the destiny trajectory, she won’t be able to win against you.”

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes gradually lit up.

　　”Tonight at twelve o’clock, I’m counting on you.” Lin Qiye stood up and respectfully said to Mei Lin.

　　Late night.

　　The four of Lin Qiye once again gathered around the low table, their expressions all very solemn.

　　This was their last two chances to obtain the prophecy before going down to the ruins, and Hoshimi Shota knew this as well; he didn’t have much combat power of his own, and couldn’t go down to the ruins with Amamiya Haruhide, and the only thing that could be of use was the prophecy of the [Wookiee].

　　If he couldn’t win over the Wookiee again this time, then his trip would be considered a waste of time, and it would even make Amamiya Haruhide think that he was really a waste.

　　In any case, he wanted to do Amamiya Haruhide a favor.

　　So at the moment, he was the person at this table who was the most nervous and wanted to win the most!

　　The Muji sitting beside him seemed to have sensed Hoshimi Shota’s nervousness, her golden eyes blinked and averted her gaze, sighing in her heart.

　　This prophecy, it seems like it’s very important to Shota ……

　　How about, letting him win once in a while?

　　Anyway, even if he lets him win once, as long as he wins back at Lin Qiye’s hands, he can still send him to his bed through punishment ……

　　Hmm, let’s do it!
