I discovered a world bug.

There is only one chance for divination within three days, and Lin Shu has two choices.

Alternatively, he could choose to directly follow the original procedure to divine his "death scene" and then deduce the risks of his actions from the death scene.

The advantage of doing this is that it can minimize risks and ensure one's safety.

However, of course, there are also drawbacks—being limited to death means that the risk of injury, or even serious injury, cannot be ruled out.

Xu Feng's arm is a living lesson. He could certainly foresee his own death, but he couldn't avoid being seriously injured.

Therefore, the better solution is actually....

According to Xu Feng, he would have his "career" divined.

Then, they would have Lu Ran and the others divine their own death outcomes, using those outcomes to deduce their own safety.

This can basically pinpoint major milestones in the near future, helping you to anticipate future tasks.

However, even if you determine that the divination is about "career", how to combine the twenty-four divine generals is also a problem.

Xu Feng used four types of gods: White Tiger, Teng Snake, Black Tortoise, and He Kui. Based on the divination of these four gods, he saw the key turning point—that he might die and he had to save himself.

Of course, although the talisman he gave me ultimately failed to work because I took the initiative to find a solution, at least the prediction was accurate.

Should I also replicate the four types of gods he used?

If we do it this way... will the results be accurate?

Lin Shu hesitated.

According to Xu Feng's research, the twenty-four types of gods are actually a code disk, or rather, twenty-four chemical elements with different properties.

Combining any two or more of them will yield different results.

In different environments, the same combination of two deities may produce completely different effects.

Just like the carbon-oxygen reaction, complete combustion produces carbon dioxide, while incomplete combustion produces carbon monoxide.

This is also one of the "variables" that I need to consider.

Lin Shu remained silent, carefully considering the differences between herself and Xu Feng, and the disparities in their respective situations.

Ultimately, he decided to remove the god-like "White Tiger" from Xu Feng's combination of experiences and replace it with "Sky".

This is based on his own judgment of the characteristics of deities—the White Tiger represents misfortune, illness, and death, while the Sky represents hypocrisy, deceit, and villains.

In comparison, the sky-like deities are better able to cover the problems they might encounter.

Once the logic was clear, Lin Shu immediately explained the requirements to Qin Lang, who agreed without hesitation.

"Ancient well bricks, fake monk's robes, a clock broken for over ten years, animal traps, lamp wicks, snake sloughs, silk, bronze mirrors, epimedium, brothel wine and women, handcuffs, tomb bricks, furnace ash..."

Holding the list given to him by Lin Shu, Qin Lang was both amused and exasperated.

"Wait, what are all these things?"

"Are all these things you listed necessary for this divination?"

"Or do you only want a few things, and nothing else?"

"I want them all."

Lin Shu replied:

"Some of them are for 'placement,' some are for burning, and some are for 'contamination.'"

"But no matter what, we must find them all."

"good......"

Qin Lang nodded slightly, then looked at it carefully again and said:

"The other things aren't hard to find, but this... brothels and wine, what's that?"

"I don't know either."

Lin Shu remained calm and replied:

"But Xu Feng said that if there are no brothels or wine, erotic pictures or the like will do."

"...Difficult to understand."

Qin Lang clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"But give me some time, I'll find these things as soon as possible."

"By the way, are there any requirements regarding the properties of these items?"

"For example, if you only say you need tomb bricks, do you want them freshly dug or old ones? And what kind of furnace ash are used for burning it?"

"I have no idea."

Lin Shu replied helplessly:

"These questions are too detailed; even Xu Feng himself doesn't know the answers."

"We can't make a more precise analysis in a short time, so for now we can only rely on the surface description."

"However, the characteristics of these items have actually already undergone a round of screening, so theoretically there shouldn't be any major problems."

"You should find them first—or if you have enough time, find several more types and several more samples, and we can arrange for more people to conduct a control experiment at the same time."

"No problem, give me some time—about 6 hours, since some things take time to acquire and collect."

"I'll give you the things before I leave tomorrow morning."

"After the divination is complete, we will set off again."

"Can."

Lin Shu nodded, and Qin Lang turned and left. It was already close to night, and no matter how demanding Lin Shu was, or how much authority and ability Qin Lang's research team had, they really couldn't gather everything in one or two hours in the middle of the night.

Tomorrow it is, there's still time.

This evening is a good opportunity to double-check the details of the entire ritual...

The door slammed shut.

That night, time flew by...

......

The next morning.

Qin Lang collected all the necessary "divine affinity items" as Lin Shu requested, but time was limited, and some items could only be found in unique pieces—such as the broken bell and the monk's robe.

Therefore, Qin Lang did not plan to start the control experiment immediately—there was no rush to begin, and given Lin Shu's "asymmetric characteristics," prioritizing his performance of the ritual was the most important thing.

Lin Shu did not object to this. After having a simple breakfast and washing up, she began to set up the environment required for the ritual.

It must be said that this was the most complicated and the most bizarre of all the yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divinations.

After he arranged the auspicious objects according to the positions of the twelve heavenly generals and the twelve lunar generals, the atmosphere of the entire room instantly changed.

Looking up and around, the objects arranged around the room seemed to be emanating a chilling aura.

Or perhaps, it wasn't "air conditioning" at all.

Rather, it's the unique aura that those items possess.

Just like old clothes always carry the scent of their former owners, or a doll abandoned in a dark corner always gives off an eerie feeling.

The ancient well and blue bricks evoke a sense of emptiness and serene coolness.

The fake monk's robe was soaked with the smell of sweat and incense; he was not devout, but rather appeared hypocritical, greasy, and full of deceit and malice.

The tomb bricks emitted a putrid stench, the most direct reflection of "death".

Animal traps bring confinement, lamp wicks bring light, snake molts bring venom, silk brings softness, epimedium and nectar bring pleasure, handcuffs bring restraint and authority...

The broken clock, like time standing still, stood there silently...

Not only him, but everyone present also felt this change.

Qin Lang gently raised his hand, signaling the research team members watching to step back to avoid any uncontrollable factors affecting Lin Shu's execution of the ritual.

After noticing everyone's actions, Lin Shu nodded slightly.

Next, he began to follow the procedures of yarrow stalk and tortoise shell divination, starting with burning incense, offering prayers, consulting the tortoise shell, and burning the shell...

A strange current began to swirl in the room.

An ancient voice rang out.

"The yarrow stalks possess spiritual power, the tortoise shells reveal omens; I now offer my sincere prayers, may the signs foretell good or bad fortune..."

Lin Shu's voice was slightly hoarse.

next second.

The flickering flames of the burning yarrow stalks coincided with a soft "pop" sound from the tortoise shell...

"when----"

The clock, which had been broken for ten years, started to chime...
