I discovered a world bug.

How to change your luck?

I really don't have any.

But...maybe it will happen in the future.

Of all the rituals that have been passed down in history, changing one's fate is actually a very large category among them, as far as I know.

Even if only one-tenth of these rituals are effective, that is still an extremely large number.

I might be able to recreate one or two myself and make them truly effective...

Of course, that's a matter for the future.

Now, I must find a way to resolve the immediate crisis.

According to the results of the divination using yarrow stalks and tortoise shells, my time of death will be 7 PM, which is 4 hours later.

I'm an hour's drive from the city center, so if I head straight to the pedestrian street, I'll have plenty of time.

The problem is that after seeing the omens, one's course of action has already changed.

He left the city and spent a whole day in a mass grave that was impossible to trace.

In that case... will those who could have found me before still be able to find me?

Lin Shu frowned and tightened her grip on the steering wheel slightly.

wrong.

If they can find themselves, they will most likely start by tracking them from their own residence.

Since that's the case, I must first return to my residence and create the conditions for them to "discover".

At the same time, you also need to give them a motivation to take action.

What do they want?

Is it just that they want something left behind by Xu Changshun?

Unlikely...

If they just wanted something, they could have simply broken in and taken it; why go to the point of murder?

In most cases, what they want is their own lives.

Although I don't know why, this is the most likely answer.

After all, in the divination scene, after I fell to the ground, no one came to take away my belongings.

Therefore, what you bring is not important.

The most important thing is that you are there!

As long as he is there, they will definitely come looking for him.

Because, until the prophecy is broken, it will not deviate in any way.

Just like that bolt of lightning...

So, what method should I use to break the opponent's initiative?

Time difference.

Lin Shu's eyes lit up.

What is certain is that no matter what means the other party uses to harm you, those means will inevitably take effect through "contact".

Otherwise, the "perpetrator" would have no reason to deliberately get close to him and risk being discovered and caught.

Then what I need to do is quite simple.

I want to go to the pedestrian street, but I can't stay in areas with high pedestrian traffic.

I need to find a place that's quiet and private enough, but where they can still see me...

Lin Shu kept trying to recall whether such a place existed on the pedestrian street, and even after getting off the highway, he still couldn't find out.

But just then, Xie Yuchi's message came through.

"Are you back? Do you need the car tomorrow? If not, I will."

I'll return it to you tonight.

Lin Shu typed a reply, and casually asked:

"Do you know where on the pedestrian street there are places that are less crowded, more private, and suitable for conversation?"

"What's up, going on a date?"

Dating......

A slightly bitter smile appeared on Lin Shu's face.

It was indeed a date, but it might not be the kind of date you're thinking of.

"I've arranged to interview someone and want to find a place to talk."

"That person was pretty strange, kind of mysterious."

"So, any good spots?"

After waiting a moment, Xie Yuchi sent a location.

"This coffee shop is actually quite nice."

"It's not bad for your standards though. The coffee is terrible, ridiculously expensive, and there's hardly anyone inside; it's just the owner having fun by himself."

cafes?

It seems that it is indeed possible.

Lin Shu opened a short video app, entered the name of the coffee shop, and saw a video reviewing the shop.

This shop is located on a corner of the pedestrian street, but it has a large floor-to-ceiling window that faces the street view.

By simply sitting at the bar counter away from the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can expose oneself to the other person's line of sight while ensuring one's own safety.

If they want to get closer, they have to come in through the door.

At that time....

Anyone who tries to get close to me will be bitten by a snake!

Plans are in place!

Lin Shu calmed down, drove home, waited for half an hour to make sure it was almost time, and then went out to head to the pedestrian street.

He got back into the car and carefully observed the outside through the privacy film.

But at this point in time, he did not see any "followers" or "spycats".

Let's go first and then figure it out.

What's meant to happen will happen.

It was already 6:30 pm when they arrived at the pedestrian street. As soon as Lin Shu got out of the car, Xie Yuchi's voice message popped up.

"I just arrived at the pedestrian street. Have you arrived yet?"

"I have a bag in my car, could you take it and bring it to me?"

"I'll wait for you downstairs in this shopping mall building?"

Shopping mall building?

It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Lin Shu's mind.

Now I know what I'm holding...

That wasn't his own; it was a woman's handbag that belonged to Xie Yuchi and was on the back seat of the car!

In the divination scene, the direction you're heading with your bag is the shopping mall building!

It all fits together, everything fits together.

But from this moment on, everything can change!

"I'm picking someone up right now, I'm busy."

"I'll take you home tonight, since I don't need a car then anyway."

"never mind."

Xie Yuchi's tone was somewhat helpless.

"When are you done? I'll come find you."

"My fingerprint lock is out of power, and the spare key is in my bag."

"I'll wander around here for a bit, then message me."

"no problem."

Lin Shu's heart pounded as she hung up the phone.

I'm getting closer and closer to death.

And we are getting closer and closer to that "key moment" that will break the deadlock!

He quickly made his way through the crowd to the coffee shop where he had made a reservation.

At this moment, he was like a frightened bird; whenever someone approached him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he would reflexively and quickly dodge away.

Several passersby gave him strange looks, but he didn't have time to pay much attention.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he entered the coffee shop.

Safe.

At least we're safe for now.

The coffee was served quickly. Just as Xie Yuchi said, this coffee shop rarely gets any customers, even during peak hours.

Besides myself, there were only two other tables of customers in the restaurant, one of whom seemed to be the owner's friends.

Neither of these groups of people are suspected.

But from then on, everyone who walked into the coffee shop became a suspect.

Lin Shu looked out at the street through the floor-to-ceiling window, trying to find the familiar figure in the divination scene.

But the crowds were too dense and the glare too intense, so he got nothing.

Time passed second by second.

6 points.

Lin Shu glanced at her phone screen.

And it was at this moment...

Welcome!

The shop assistant's voice rang out.

Lin Shu subconsciously looked up and met a pair of eyes that exuded a chilling aura.

It's you...

This is it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Shu's consciousness was practically screaming.

"snake!"

"Bite him!!"
