Chapter 47: Fortune teller: Getting a government job is the only way out.

In the past few days, Ye Kui had also tried to find out if there was any experiment called “Zi Na” or any related plan being prepared within the Genesis Organization.

But there was nothing.

Ye Kui was puzzled.

He was sure he hadn’t remembered wrong.

Could it be that the timing was off, and the plan hadn’t even been proposed yet?

Or perhaps, a Little Butterfly had flapped its wings, and the plot had changed in ways he didn’t know.

Actually, Ye Kui didn’t know that although Zi Na originated from the Genesis Organization, she was not created by them.

She was born in the depths of the sea.

When she had just come into being and, unaware of the dangers of the world, surfaced to bask in the sun, she was captured by a passing member of the Genesis Organization.

This time, with her memories intact, how could she possibly be caught?

Zi Na ran straight to find Ye Kui!

The ocean was her eyes.

She sensed Ye Kui’s presence and was then smoothly “fished” up by her master.

At this moment, Ye Kui was with Zi Na, engaging in a “hunt” because Zi Na said she was hungry.

So they found a sea beast breeding area to catch some fish and taste their flavor.

At that moment, a spatial fluctuation appeared.

Ye Kui sensed something and turned his head.

He saw a small, illusory hand reach out next to his grilled fish, grabbing it.

Trying to steal it quietly.

Ye Kui reacted quickly, grabbing the wrist!

His alchemical ability activated—corroding, analyzing, modifying…

A strange light flashed in Ye Kui’s eyes.

He suddenly exerted force, and countless particles surged from the air, converging into a graceful silhouette.

It fell heavily to the ground.

It was a girl in a white hooded long dress, with a purple Crystal Ball floating around her, dressed like a diviner.

Even lying on the ground, the girl wasn’t flustered.

She met Ye Kui’s gaze for two or three seconds, then shoved the grilled fish into her mouth.

Ye Kui: ……

He admired her composure.

To be caught stealing by the owner, yet still calmly stuffing the “evidence” into her mouth.

“Who are you?”

Ye Kui looked her over, suspecting her identity.

Within the Genesis Organization, only two people dressed like diviners.

As soon as Ye Kui spoke, another spatial fluctuation occurred.

Particles burst forth, forming a man in a white hooded robe, a Crystal Ball floating beside him.

He descended slowly.

His appearance further confirmed Ye Kui’s suspicions.

The man picked up the girl, checked her, saw her cheeks puffed out, and helplessly tapped her on the head.

A crisp sound.

“Don’t go around stealing people’s food. It’s impolite.”

The girl chewed.

“You obviously wanted to eat too…”

She said, then shoved the half-eaten fish into his mouth.

Black lines appeared on the man’s face, but he still swallowed all the fish in his mouth.

He brushed away her greasy little hand.

Turning to Ye Kui, the man gave an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, Professor Ye. This girl caused you trouble. Her head is a little empty, so please don’t take it too seriously.”

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Kong Huan, and the silly-looking girl in my arms is Kong Xi.”

The girl—Kong Xi—waved her tiny fists and punched him in the chest.

“I’m not stupid!”

She babbled nonstop.

Kong Huan pinched her rosy mouth to stop her physically, face expressionless.

Ye Kui stared at their nearly identical features.

If not for the differences in their bodies, he’d think he was looking in a mirror.

“Are you twins?”

“No.”

Kong Huan shook his head.

Kong Xi, in revenge, wiped her oily hands on his clothes, squirmed, and found a comfortable spot in Kong Huan’s arms.

Kong Huan looked at the grease on his clothes, his face darkening as he pinched the girl’s soft cheeks.

“Actually, she and I are the same person.”

“This one came from a parallel world. As for why… let’s just say, troubles from youthful recklessness.”

“Now I’m stuck with her. What a disaster.”

“What do you mean, disaster! What’s with your words?”

Kong Xi slapped his hand away, then reached out and pinched his cheek in return.

“Please, no one in the world understands you better than me, and no one loves you more.”

“Because I am you, and you are me!”

Kong Huan’s mouth twitched.

“So, is this why you eat my food, use my things, and want me to support you?”

Kong Xi nodded seriously.

“That’s right!”

Kong Huan almost choked—how could she be so shameless?!

“So… you want to.”

Kong Xi blinked, her eyes shimmering.

“Tonight, can we…”

Kong Huan’s face twitched.

“No.”

“Tch.”

The trace of softness on Kong Xi’s face vanished instantly.

She pouted, left his embrace, and lay down on the ground.

“I don’t want to talk to you.”

“You cold, heartless man—colder than the floor!”

“Are you satisfied now? You successfully made me unhappy!”

Kong Huan: ……

Kong Huan picked up the Crystal Ball from the ground.

It glowed softly, floating and circling the two of them, adding a sense of mystery.

Though neither of them seemed particularly serious, Ye Kui had a feeling they weren’t liars and had real abilities.

Their appearance was too coincidental.

And the information they revealed was substantial.

Social anxiety?

Born-with-friendliness physique?

Ye Kui didn’t believe it.

So, there was only one possibility… these two had performed a divination on him.

At this thought, Ye Kui narrowed his eyes, a strange color flickering within.

They came prepared.

Ye Kui: “You…”

At that moment, the man and woman laughed in unison.

“Professor Ye, I know what you want to ask.”

“We just wanted a peaceful place to stay, but accidentally fell into a trap and were brought here.”

“However, I didn’t think this place was suitable for long-term lounging, so we did a little divination to check our future…”

“A beam of light—almost blinded us!”

“The source of the light was you.”

“In all our divinations, we’ve never sensed so clearly—life and death hinging on a single thought.”

“Fate has already given guidance.”

“If you try divining a second time, fate won’t answer, because it’s already given the right response.”

“A diviner who doesn’t know what’s good for them will only get elbowed hard by fate, fall into a spiral of madness, and never escape.”

“Cough, cough…”

Kong Huan coughed, snapping out of his inexplicable chuunibyou state.

“Sorry, I talked too much.”

Ye Kui nodded.

He understood a little.

Zi Na also stared intently at the two diviners, her tentacles waving softly.

“So, are you planning to get rid of me?”

Kong Huan shook his head.

Then…

The girl lying on the ground raised a small white flag.

“We surrender!”

“We want to connect with the Law Enforcement Bureau!”

“We want to eat official rations!” X2

“We want to be recruited!” X2

“We want to get a staff position!” X2

“Hi, Brother Ye!” X2

Ye Kui: ???

Ye Kui leaned back defensively.

Kong Huan pulled Kong Xi up.

Kong Xi dove into Kong Huan’s arms, nuzzling.

“We just want a quiet place to lie down, eat, wait for death, and play games.”

“Doing bad things, destroying the world… we have zero interest—not only is it tiring, but we’d end up wanted.”

Hearing they had no plans to destroy the world, and wouldn’t drag her master into world-destroying antics, Zi Na felt increasingly at ease.

So, they were just otaku.

Ye Kui’s expression turned odd.

He could see their true nature.

Ye Kui remembered that these two didn’t appear in the game.

It must be another mysterious butterfly effect.

They had no malice—Ye Kui could sense it.

Their words were genuine.

They were truly capable, even managing to divine his connection to the Law Enforcement Bureau.

Of course, Ye Kui was certain that anything deeper was beyond their reach due to the safeguards he’d set up—no alarms triggered.

In that case, he could introduce them to Bei Ming Shuangyu and further raise her favorability.

A win-win.

Ye Kui nodded, about to speak.

Suddenly, Kong Huan and Kong Xi shivered, sensing something.

They immediately turned to particles and vanished, as if their house was on fire.

Kong Huan: “Then it’s settled!”

Kong Xi: “Brother Ye, we’re leaving first!”

These two diviners came and went in a hurry.

Ye Kui shook his head, not caring too much.

He smelled something burnt.

Looking down, he saw the grilled fish had turned to charcoal.

Ye Kui fell silent.

A pink tentacle coiled around the grilled fish, stuffing it into a mouth, vanishing before his eyes.

Ye Kui: “Zi Na, it’s burnt!”

Zi Na had never wasted food made by her master.

She swallowed, expressing that it was delicious~

It had the taste of her master~

……

In a corner, shadows squirmed slowly.

A pair of deep blue eyes stared at Ye Kui and Zi Na.

After a long while, they melted into the darkness and disappeared.
