228: Chapter 9 Unfavorable Start_3 228: Chapter 9 Unfavorable Start_3 Zuiyan put down the chess piece and stepped out of his private room.
The tea-clothed ninja silently followed.
The underground space was filled with numerous high-precision mainframes like dominoes.
They stepped between the cables as if they were walking through an ancient maze constructed of metal and silicon.
This was one of the significant research achievements of the Shiyu Research Institute, the Big Seven Evils Electronic Array, which connected directly to the human brain and significantly enhanced the spiritual power and computational precision of the divination, thereby increasing the divination’s duration.
Theoretically, the Shiyu Spirit Temple, acting as the heart of the Array, could achieve uninterrupted divination all year round, making it an effective national defense mechanism!
With gestures infused with the mysteries of ancient culture, Zuiyan input a password and opened the iron door.
Before the door opened, the tea-clothed ninja voluntarily turned around, closed his eyes, and covered his ears.
Before doing so, he heard Zuiyan say, “Come in with me, Mr.
Yamaoka, tears brimming in his eyes, was astonished that Zuiyan remembered his name.
But soon, this touch of emotion was replaced by sudden terror.
Deep within the iron door was an ice-cold restraint chair, where a scantily clad girl, seemingly just beginning high school, was seated.
Her limbs were tightly bound by steel, and her head was covered with a full helmet, connected to numerous communication cables, leaving only her mouth uncovered.
The girl kept screaming, “A great disaster is coming—!
A great disaster is coming—!” Her shrill cries reminded him of the crows back in his hometown.
The tea-clothed ninja was terrified.
Was she conducting divination in such an inhumane environment?
Zuiyan spoke sternly, “Focus on the key points.”
“The will of three converges on the corpses, casting a vast shadow over Zero Island,” Shiyu Spirit Temple replied promptly, “The tentacles of a colossal creature select vanguards, the light reveals only two silhouettes, and a proud narcissus blooms in shadow, the sword of slaughter held by the void one!”
Zuiyan nodded, “Well done.
Continue the divination, and when the timing is right, grant a vacation.”
“No rest needed!” Shiyu Spirit Temple replied with excitement, “All for the benefit of the Martial Arts Association!”
Zuiyan and Yamaoka walked out of the iron door, the latter’s hands trembling slightly.
The Ninja Army Leader asked, “Did you get all that, Mr.
“Absolutely, not a word missed!” Yamaoka reflexively bowed.
He clenched his teeth, the fear inducing Ninja Stomachache.
But Yamaoka overcame the pain.
Gathering his final courage, he asked, “Should I commit seppuku?”
“Devote your life to the defense of the nation.”
Yamaoka rose incredulously, as Zuiyan headed back to his private room.
“Transcribe the divinatory results from Shiyu Spirit Temple into three copies, seal them and hand them to the messenger ninja.” “Gladly!” the tea-clothed ninja bowed again.
“The recipients are Lord Zongben Yuan, Lord Shanqi, and Lord Shiyu.” “Gladly!” the tea-clothed ninja bowed a third time.
“Then prepare the road travel tea and treats; we’re departing soon.” “Gladly!
I’ll see it done swiftly!” The tea-clothed ninja bowed four times.
Yamaoka, still bowing, quickly scurried back to work until the door to Zuiyan’s private room closed.
It was only then that Yamaoka had time to be surprised by the information revealed in the superior’s words.
There were many Lords Shiyu, but only one whom Zuiyan referred to as Lord.
Yamaoka had seen it in the internal report photograph; that person should have died in the institute’s accident, his corpse as mangled as the others.
The thoughts that touched on these secretive matters attacked him with even greater ferocity of Ninja Stomachache.
Yamaoka pounded his stomach, hastily beginning to transcribe the confidential messages.
Thus, with the Superpower Users and Impermanence Law Enforcers setting out, everything started moving at great speed.
The bigwigs of Zero Island were about to hold a secretive meeting, the elite of the City of the Sky meticulously arranging the plans to follow._OBJC: The person who had played chess towards the end of February and his high-hat friend were on Zero Island, awaiting yet another drama about to unfold.
Logic would have it that all the forces involved in this event should be…
However, as Orianna had warned,
Once Zero Island is involved, there’s always some inexplicable happenings, always some people acting nonsensically.
These unpredictable emergencies either originate from the unfathomable intelligence…
Or from the similarly nonsensical mouth of a madman.
Zero Island’s capital, the giant city of Weiyuan City.
“Hehehehe, I heard it, Lord of God!”
From a solitary residence came a man’s excited shout.
The house’s doors and windows were tightly shut, and the curtains blocked all light.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair sat by his computer desk, shouting at the flickering screen.
How should I fulfill Your will?”
How many-sided dice do You need?
Just one small dice…”
“—One hundred seventy-seven million, six hundred forty-four sided dice?!”
The middle-aged man covered his face and started wailing.
“I deserve to die, Lord Huojin God!
I can only make a hundred-sided one…
I’ve failed Your expectations, I’ll commit seppuku right now…”
“Can I still contribute to You?
You truly are the kindest, most benevolent God in the world!”
He burst into laughter, then suddenly swept his computer, books, and various items off the table.
He then pulled out an odd object from his pocket and placed it on the table.
This white object had up to 100 facets, each facet inscribed with tiny numbers, half in gold and half in gray.
It looked like a dice…
A hundred-sided dice.
“I should let them carry out today’s fortune-telling first!
Plus point accumulation, I’ll count them carefully…
I understand, I understand!
Just as they say, karma!”
The giant dragon worshipper madly waved his hands as if a devout believer and exclaimed,
“Rest assured, I excel at rolling dice!”
He tossed the hundred-sided dice, which spun across the table, ultimately revealing the number on top—
