Chapter 50: Soul-Eater Worms
Her sure puts on a good act.
Alexander stopped speaking, and reached out to pick up a card.
The woman immediately took the card, glanced at it, and then stared straight at Alexander, saying, "You are a psychic, what you most desire is to gain endless power, to become stronger..."
"Wait." Alexander interrupted the woman directly, "I don’t desire power."
The woman frowned slightly.
This kind of rhetoric could be used on any psychic.
Because every psychic would surely want to become stronger, no matter what their true identity was.
But Alexander directly denied this, which was a little unexpected for her.
At this time, the guests around were all staring at Alexander.
This guy not only interrupted the master’s conclusion, but now also directly denied it?Did he come here to make trouble?
"As I said, this is your deepest innermost desire, you may not know it yourself," the woman said.
Hearing this, Alexander couldn’t help but laugh, and said, "Alright, you go on."
The woman looked at the carefree expression on Alexander’s face, her expression a bit gloomy.However, she still had to complete her task and could only hide her displeasure.
"I can provide you with a way to become stronger, but you must maintain a sincere heart," the woman continued.
Hearing this, Alexander knew that the other party was going to get to the point.
"How can I become stronger?" Alexander pretended to be interested.
Seeing that Alexander took the bait, the woman’s face became a lot more relaxed, and she said, "I have a pill in my hand, as long as you take it, it can activate your potential and let you reach your personal limit, becoming stronger."
"Oh? A pill?" Alexander raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." The woman reached under the table, and when she lifted her hand, she was holding a dark pill.
She put the pill in front of Alexander and said, "Take this pill back, find a suitable time and place to take it, and it can fulfill your deepest desire."
"Is this pill really so magical?" Alexander picked up the pill and asked.
"I never lie." The woman said slowly, with a kind of immortal aura.
"What if this pill is poisoned?" Alexander asked again.
Hearing this, the woman frowned.
And the guests around could no longer hold back, and started to accuse Alexander.
"Damn! You’re really ungrateful! The master is compassionate, giving you a free divination, and also gives you a pill for free, and you’re still so suspicious?"
"Exactly! We all know how accurate the master’s divination is! How many people have taken the pill in the past few days? If you don’t want it, give it to me, why are you questioning it for no reason?"
"Whether you believe it or not, get up and leave quickly! Don’t waste everyone’s time! We still have to get our fortunes told!"
Amid these accusations, Alexander clenched the pill in his hand, glanced at the woman, and walked out of the crowd.
"How can this kid act like an idiot? A typical case of taking advantage yet pretending to be hard done by." In the VIP seats on the second floor, the man looked down at Alexander below and said with a frown.
"Perhaps this Alexander is an author. Authors nowadays are like this, fond of arguing and not very intelligent, but he will surely swallow that pill eventually." The female boss lightly chuckled.
The pill had been dispatched, and the woman’s task for the day was completed.
Apart from Alexander, the woman also noticed Laura.
Although Laura currently seemed like an ordinary woman, she emitted an energy that made the woman’s heart palpitate, albeit very faintly. Therefore, to be safe, the woman did not proactively interact with Laura.
Apart from Alexander and Laura, everyone else present was ordinary people; there was no need to stay any longer. The woman got up and gathered up the cards on the table.
The people around her looked anxious at this sight.
"Master, aren’t you going to continue the divination?" Someone asked loudly.
"I’m a little tired, come back tomorrow." The woman said, slowly walking towards the bar exit.
Although the crowd was anxious, they didn’t dare to block the woman’s way.
However, their gaze at Alexander,became more hostile. It was this middle-aged man who had wasted their chance at a divination.
The woman left the bar directly.
Alexander watched the woman’s retreating figure, picked up the pill in his hand, and also walked out of the bar.
As he walked, he observed the pill in his hand. There was a strange aura within this pill, this aura was very odd, like a kind of creature!
In other words, there was definitely something wrong with this pill.
Alexander thought for a moment, held the pill between his fingers, and gently exerted force.
"Crack!"
The shell of the pill was easily crushed by Alexander. Then, Alexander saw what was inside the pill.
A curled up black bug! This bug looked somewhat similar to an earthworm, but it was smaller and blacker!
After the shell was crushed, it seemed to be frightened and suddenly began to wriggle.
It jumped into Alexander’s hand, trying to burrow into his palm, seemingly wanting to get inside his body. But Alexander’s body was very tough, it desperately tried to burrow but couldn’t get in at all.
Alexander used his finger to grab the bug and observed it closely. Obviously, this bug was not a good thing. Alexander could sense an evil aura from it.
Laura also leaned over, curiously looking at the bug. Having grown up in the temple, she obviously knew more than Alexander.
"Judging from its appearance, this bug looks a bit similar to the Soul-Eater Worms I’ve seen before." Laura said.
"Soul-Eater Worms? What is that?" Alexander asked.
"Soul-Eater Worms, as the name implies, are a kind of bug that can devour souls. The woman just now said that after taking this pill, one could become stronger, but you absolutely must not eat it." Laura quickly reminded.
"I know, I definitely won’t eat it, I’m just wondering, the fortune teller who Sofia, my woman, met before, is she the same person as this woman?" Alexander slightly frowned, thinking.
Just then, the strange energy in the bar that had been fluctuating suddenly surged.
Alexander furrowed his brow.
Because of the so-called fortune-telling master, he forgot the strange energy that prompted him to enter the bar as soon as he entered the bar.
Now, that energy has surged to its peak!
"So that’s how it is."
Alexander immediately understood the purpose of this pill and the woman’s intention.
"Crack!"
With a squeeze of Alexander’s fingers, he crushed the bug to death.
Then, Alexander turned around and headed back towards the bar.
