Chapter 210: Veins of Misfortune
It meant that the city was nearer now. After one hour, they were finally able to see the city.
It wasn’t much bigger, but it was totally situated in a different environment. A river was passing just in front of it.
The traffic was far more than the border cities, but most of the people seemed mortals. Merchant wagons were coming out of the city, some going left, some right, and some coming in their direction.
Just as they were walking, Jiang Hao felt a gaze on him. He didn’t stop or show any reaction to it. The gaze was non-hostile, so he just maintained his pace.
"Senior, what do you think?" Jiang Hao was sure that she had felt the gaze too. It was impossible to hide from someone who could even read the mysteries of fate.
"Hmm... what do you think I think?" Yao Ying looked at the city for a second, then beckoned him to come closer.
Jiang Hao obliged. From now on, he would try not to think about the fact that they were fated. He would try to act as normal as he could.
He came close enough to be touched by hand’s distance, and that’s what Yao Ying did—she touched his forehead.
"Look at the city now"
Jiang Hao turned around and got stunned. He could see a lot of dark red threads coming out of the city. The whole city seemed to be covered in a gloom that could not be seen with the naked eye.
"What you are looking at is misfortune, or ill omen... whatever you want to call it. Those red threads denote the people who will die in a week. Some will die today and some will tomorrow, but in a week all will be dead.
All in all, this whole city seems to be the target of a bigger plan.
