With her move, the figure on the mirror disappeared instantly.
"Oh, don’t worry, your sister is still alive... and very healthy." Mu You first informed the little girl of this news, reassuring her.
"Oh, that’s good!" The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, having feared the worst from Mu You’s strange expression, she had thought her sister was already gone.
What she didn’t know was that Mu You was puzzled. According to his divination, the girl’s sister was indeed alive, but more than that, she seemed to be living freely, showing no signs of imprisonment or threat.
The result was slightly unexpected, but he couldn’t divine any more.
Mu You shook his head and turned to Lin Xue.
"Little Snow, is there anything you want to divine?"
Lin Xue pointed to herself, not having any particular information she wanted to know.
However, she knew Mu You was practicing his divination. After a few seconds of contemplation, Lin Xue said: "Then... help me divine whether my heirloom task will be successful..."
Her heirloom task was to inherit a mission from the Reaper’s Scythe - to seek the relic of Grim Reaper’s apostle in Dark City, which was currently more than half completed and would soon reach final stages.
"Wait a moment, let’s try with the crystal ball this time..."
Mu You went back to his room to fetch a crystal ball toy and brought it back to the space.
He laid down a piece of black cloth and placed the crystal ball on it.
"Next, visualize your heirloom task..." Mu You instructed Lin Xue, then focused his Mind’s Eye Vision on the changing crystal ball.
Lin Xue nodded and did as instructed.
In his Mind’s Eye Vision, foggy figures began to appear inside the crystal ball, sometimes congealing, sometimes dissipating and reforming, gradually solidifying into human-like shapes.
Mu You frowned slightly, because unlike the previous two times, the results of this divination were extremely unclear.
He tried hard to peer into the changes within the crystal ball with his Mind’s Eye Vision, hoping to glean some information.
But before he could, the crystal ball suddenly cracked and split in half.
Mu You was taken aback, quickly closed his Mind’s Eye Vision, and opened his eyes to look directly.
Indeed, the crystal ball had not only split in his Mind’s Eye Vision, it had also split in reality, dividing into two from the middle, revealing an irregular fracture surface below.
Lin Xue and Little Ya were both dumbfounded when they saw the broken crystal ball.
They had both just been watching the crystal ball, and neither of them had touched it, but it had split on its own. Even those unfamiliar with divination could clearly see the anomaly.
"What does this mean?" Lin Xue looked at Mu You, perplexed.
However, Mu You was also puzzled. He hadn’t read about this result in any books...
Having no answer, Mu You turned to Vivian for advice.
"Vivian, is this a failure? Or is it..."
Vivian looked at the crystal ball, shook her head solemnly.
"A damaged tool during a divination indicates a catastrophic omen..."
"You mean... Little Snow’s mission will meet with danger?" Mu You frowned.
"Yes, and it’s life-threatening danger!" Vivian sighed.
Both Little Ya and Ye Rumeng gasped in astonishment, looking worriedly at Lin Xue.
Mu You also looked at Lin Xue, "Can this mission be abandoned?"
Lin Xue shook her head silently, "Abandoning it means giving up the bloodline of the Grim Reapers. The scythe and robe both would be taken back..."
If these were just external possessions, no matter how precious, she could give them up. But these two items were the relics her grandmother specifically left for her. She could not let them go.
"In that case, let’s divine the death rate of your mission this time!" Mu You looked at Lin Xue and said, and then took out the Tarot deck again, shuffled it, and spread it out in front of him.
For this kind of dilemma, it might be better to use the death rate as a reference, to decide whether to participate in the task. If the death rate is too high, even giving up these two items wouldn’t be worth her risk.
