These weird things are all mine

Victoria has a beautiful fairy tale. Before she died, the little match girl struck the last match and finally saw her beloved grandmother. Miss Luo Ling only needed a piece of fried pork ribs to do this.

Luo Ling fell into deep thought.

No, she copied it exactly according to her sister's memory of the stir-frying technique, the proportion of ingredients, the rotation angle of the gas stove, and the cooking time.

How could this go wrong?

It shouldn’t be!

"Maybe it's the weather? Or maybe it's the layout of the kitchen. Should I put the pots here and the sinks here? Oh, yes, my sister always cooks at dusk, rarely after the sun goes down, so it may be a matter of time..."

After Luo Ling found countless reasons for the delicious food on her table, Eve, who had been hungry for half a day, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"You might as well say it's genetic!"

"Ah, that's possible. Actually, my sister is not my biological sister... I don't even know who my real parents are. Maybe they don't know how to cook either?"

"roll."

Of course, for this kind of dish, we can only apologize to the ingredients. It is a pity that after you were born, you became Miss Luo Ling’s cooking ingredients and then were thrown away.

After a whole night of hard work, everyone was looking forward to an unforgettable food experience, but it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. There was no way they would let Miss Luo Ling enter the kitchen again.

The next day, after winning the first battle, Eve for some reason wanted to continue leading the team in a high-spirited manner. Cen Xiangyun thought that it was free combat power anyway and it would be a waste not to use it, so she continued.

This time they also brought Elsa, but Luo Ling was still absent because she received an invitation from the "Fate Society".

After everyone said goodbye with complicated and slightly frightened looks in their eyes, Luo Ling took the work card and token of the "Fate Society" and prepared to find the place where the "Fate Society" had invited her.

"But, they said the petals would be good for me... I don't seem to feel anything."

Luo Ling touched her forehead. Although there was nothing on her forehead now, she could still feel some patterns of the purple pearl flower.

Perhaps it will only be reflected in battle.

After calming down, Luo Ling opened the address given to her by the "Destiny Society" and was a little surprised.

"...Victoria Opera House?"

As Victoria's most famous landmark building, Luo Ling certainly knew about it. Lu Manqing had also invited everyone to go there to take pictures, but no one thought it was too far away.

It is located closest to the royal palace among the 18 suburbs. It takes seven suburbs to get there from Wellington city, almost spanning half of the Victoria region.

...This distance is quite far, and it will take a whole day even if you hire a carriage.

"If I had known I would have set out last night."

Luo Ling didn't have the money to hire a carriage, and besides, her abilities... coincidentally, were not suitable for traveling.

Maybe you can try to sprint at full speed while transforming into a demon...

But just think about it, for the same reason, try not to use it in the evil ghost state.

Just when Luo Ling was in trouble, a clear girl's voice rang out.

"Stop, stop for a moment...Miss, are you a 'fortune teller'?"

"Ok?"

Luo Ling turned slightly to the side and saw a carriage parked not far away. A girl wearing a wide-brimmed hat leaned out of the carriage and looked at her with shining eyes.

She was wearing an emerald green court dress, and she must be the daughter of a noble family. However, her movements did not seem very ladylike, and certainly not as bold as Eve.

Luo Ling looked at the hourglass pendant filled with brilliant blue sand that she had just put on. This was the token of the "Society of Destiny", and "Fortune Teller" was their self-proclaimed name.

"That's it."

Luo Ling nodded.

"Wow..."

The eldest lady's eyes continued to shine, and she lifted her skirt and prepared to step out of the carriage.

But she was caught by the whalebone crinoline of her dress and was almost thrown off the carriage.

The driver nearby was shocked when he saw this scene, and stood up in a panic. Just as he was about to support the young lady, he saw the girl who was called "fortune teller" by the young lady standing nearby and gently hugged the fallen young lady.

"Be careful."

Luo Ling said lightly, and patted the dust off the hem of the eldest lady's skirt.

"Miss..."

The driver arrived late, but was still glaringly ignored by the young lady.

"You just came next to me in a flash, is this your special power? Wow, that's amazing..."

"...It's just running faster, not some special power."

Luo Ling was speechless, but she could see that this young lady was just an ordinary person.

In Victoria, most ordinary people can recognize some abilities and strange existences, but there is still a risk of mental disorder.

But this was the first time that Luo Ling saw someone rushing up like a young lady.

"Ms. Fortune Teller, can you teach me some special powers? I'll pay you whatever the price is!"

The eldest ladies surrounded Luo Ling, their big green eyes full of hope.

"Special powers can't be taught...wait, you can teach a little bit, but there are requirements."

Luo Ling originally wanted to refuse, but when he saw the carriage next to him, he instantly came up with an idea.

It is true that abilities cannot be taught, and she cannot help an ordinary person without qualifications to awaken, but it is still possible to let her use her abilities a few times.

However, out of caution, Luo Ling would not let the young lady use power that is beyond her cognition.

Just some telekinesis and clairvoyance will do, and all of these can be done with the spores.

"Really?" The eldest lady blinked, quite surprised. "Sure, sure, any request is fine. My family has plenty of money!"

This was the first time she met a fortune teller who said he could teach her special powers. Everyone she asked before had said no.

"My lady..."

Upon hearing this, the driver next to him looked bitter and looked at Luo Ling with some hostility.

In his opinion, Luo Ling should be a charlatan. He knew something about the "fortune tellers" and knew that these talented people were born with these abilities and ordinary people could not learn them.

"No money, I'll just borrow your carriage and take me to the Victoria Opera House."

Luo Ling pointed to the carriage, which just saved some travel expenses.

"Eh?"

The young lady and the coachman were both stunned.

"How about...a different one?"

The eldest lady asked tentatively.

"Miss, please come this way."

The driver was very straightforward and directly invited Luo Ling to get in the car.

"So be it."

Luo Ling was confused by the completely different reactions of the master and servant, but she didn't care about it. The most important thing was to hurry on her way.

The eldest lady got on the carriage reluctantly, but when she thought that she could still learn the special abilities she had always dreamed of, she smiled foolishly again.

"Can you be faster? I have an appointment." Luo Ling asked.

"...Few people have ever said this to me." The driver's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he turned his head to give Luo Ling a thumbs up, "Please wait."

On the way, through conversation, Luo Ling learned that the eldest daughter's name was Odetta, and her family was not a duke of the Victoria region, but one of the grand dukes in the German region.

However, the relationship between the kings and dukes of these regions is somewhat subtle. Relatives can be found in several generations, so even in Victoria, the treatment is almost the same.

The reason why she didn't really want to go to the Victoria Opera House was because her family's castle was in the Elizabeth city area where the Victoria Opera House was located.

Going back is like going home, and she is now in a state of running away from home...

So one can imagine.

Luo Ling was impressed that this young lady of the same age as herself could still be so childish. If she were in her age, she would have been immersed in the pressure of the college entrance examination.

Oh, that’s not right. With this young lady’s status and position, she probably doesn’t need to be under great pressure.

In exchange, Luo Ling also "taught" her how to use her abilities.

It’s just that he used Luo Ling’s ability.

Luo Ling took out three white hairs, which were the hair from her "White Witch" form, and secretly connected them to the back of Odetta's head, allowing her to experience a little perspective.

Although this usage may seem like a copyright infringement and some powerful person named Sun may protest, it has to be said that it is very useful.

Odetta immediately started screaming and shouting, and even after Luo Ling lifted the effect, she still pestered Luo Ling to continue teaching her other things.

Of course, Luo Ling certainly couldn't continue. Ordinary people would go crazy if they were exposed to this kind of thing too much, so she told Odetta that she could only use it three times, and this finally made Odetta calm down.

The day passed quickly, and when the sun was about to set, Luo Ling finally arrived at the destination of this trip, which was located in the most central and prosperous place in the Victoria area, at the entrance of the Victoria Opera House in Elizabeth City.

Odetta reluctantly parted with Luo Ling and was ruthlessly driven back home by the coachman, ending her journey away from home.

There were gorgeous carriages and princes and nobles in luxurious clothes passing around. It was rare to see someone like Luo Ling wearing a men's suit and dress, not to mention that she was a lonely girl.

However, the necklace she was wearing soon attracted the attention of several attendants. They came over, performed the standard attendant's salute to Luo Ling, and asked,

"Mr. Fortune Teller, is this your first time at the opera house?"

"Ah, yes, how did you know?" Luo Ling took out his work card and said, "I want to find this..."

Just then, she saw that the servants all had the same work cards hanging around their necks.

There's just no token.

"Because you don't seem to know," the attendants replied respectfully, "the Victoria Opera House originally belongs to the Fate Society."

......

"I'm sorry, Miss Luo Ling, to invite you over in this way."

Fiona, wearing a lavender evening dress, sat next to Luo Ling. Next to her tall and proud figure, even Luo Ling looked a little smaller.

On the stage, several opera singers were performing an opera, while the nobles below were enjoying the performance with rapt attention.

Of course, some of them were sleeping.

The melodious and beautiful singing was accompanied by elegant classical music. The atmosphere in the opera house was quite elegant. Unfortunately, Luo Ling was one of those who was not very interested in it.

"Tell me, what kind of work is there?" Luo Ling asked.

"...Ms. Luo Ling has a very straightforward personality."

Fiona stared at Luo Ling's expression which seemed to be flat, and spoke slowly.

"People often say that." Luo Ling shrugged.

"Okay, in that case, I won't beat around the bush. This is a request that the "company" cannot know about." Fiona took a deep breath and said, "I know you have a special identity and have many friends in the "company", but this request must not be revealed at all. I can pay a higher "price" for this."

"Ok?"

Luo Ling instantly became interested. Was it a little secret that couldn't be known by the "company"?

"The company values ​​you because you are a suspected Seventh Path Awakener, but I am different. From the beginning to the end, I have always wanted you to walk freely in the Realm of Nothingness." Fiona said in a deep voice, "I need you to find something in the Realm of Nothingness. Maybe there will be no result in the end... but the reward you should pay will not change."

"Okay, go on." Luo Ling nodded.

Fiona was silent for a while, then slowly told the whole story.

"Four years ago, Victoria experienced the 74th boundary collapse, but it was a strange boundary collapse. There were no extraordinary strange events at the time, and there was not even any foreshadowing. This boundary collapse happened suddenly, and no one was prepared.

"In this boundary collapse, the two urban areas lost one-third and one-quarter of their land respectively, and all became a void. Unfortunately, we had an elite team of six eighth-level awakeners on a mission in this place, and we lost contact with them after the collapse... We are not sure whether they are alive or dead, but it is highly likely that they have all died.

"This was the most devastating accident that the Destiny Society has ever suffered, and it is a knot in our hearts that we still cannot untie.

"We once tried to ask the 'Company' for help, but they refused, saying that the Realm of Nothingness was too dangerous. But my intuition told me that there was something else going on, because the 'Company' was profit-driven, and they had some sacrificial instruments that could allow people to temporarily travel in the 'Realm of Nothingness'. There was no problem with them doing some simple reconnaissance work, but they still chose to refuse us.

"Until you showed up, Miss Luo Ling. Now... you are the only one who can help us."

Fiona looked straight at Luo Ling, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

"In order not to arouse the suspicion of the 'Company', we have never shown any interest in the Realm of Nothingness before. Even when you first joined, we did not submit any commissions to you until the 'Company' paid less attention to you.

"Now the 'Company' has evaluated you as an awakener of the 'Judgment' path, but the degree of inclination towards the 'Sin' path is higher, which basically eliminates the possibility of awakening the seventh path.

"I specially invited you here. The Victoria Opera House is the headquarters of the "Fate Society" and can definitely isolate it from the eyes and ears of the "Company".
