Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 283 Exhaustive
Although the results of the divination were shocking, Dong Zhou still looked calm.

"The other me, can you still continue divination?" she asked.

"Of course, what do you want to divine?"

"Please help me divine again. If I immediately destroy all experimental data and pretend that I have never discovered 'Dusk', what will be the final result?"

"it is good."

The city lord dipped his fingertips in "ink" and wrote down what Dong Zhou said on a new piece of white paper. The divination results came out quickly.

"The result is still the same, there is no change, everyone will die..." Now even she was surprised: "What the hell did you invent?!"

"It's just a new material. Although it's a bit special, I can't figure out why it would destroy mankind." Dong Zhou replied, "Can the other me..."

"Tell me, what else do you want to divine?"

"What will happen if I 'give' my results to my professor and let others think that he is the inventor of 'Twilight'?"

The results of the divination came out quickly - there was still no change compared to the previous two times.

"What else do you want to divine this time?" the city lord asked proactively, "Such a big pot of ink is enough for you to divine many times."

But this time, Dong Zhou was no longer in a hurry to come up with a new hypothesis. She pondered for a while before saying:

"Please help me divine: Will mankind be extinct in about two years? No other conditions attached."

This time, the divination result only had a witch character. The city lord took one look at it and told her: "Yes."

Dong Zhou: "That's right!"

City Lord: "Huh?"

"I mean, I'm afraid that human beings will become extinct in two years for other reasons, and it has nothing to do with whether I invented 'Twilight' or what I will do next. Um... Please help me predict one more thing. ”

"Didn't you say that no matter what you do, humans will become extinct? Why do you need divination?" The city lord asked strangely.

"I don't care whether humanity is extinct or not, I only care about my brother." Dong Zhou still had that calm tone, "Please help me divine: If I tell him about Dusk now, he will decide how to use it. What will be the final outcome?”

"Didn't I say that you will die?" The city lord muttered, but still followed Dong Zhou's request and wrote down the contents of the divination on the paper.

The answer quickly emerged. The city lord glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah!"

"How is it?" Dong Zhou asked.

"You will die, and humanity will perish, but... your brother can live."

Dong Zhou didn't seem too surprised by this result: "What about time? When will I die? When will mankind perish?"

"...You will die in six days, and humanity will perish in about two years."

"I understand, my other self, please give me control of your body for the time being."

"what are you up to?"

"Send a message to my brother and I will tell him the information about Dusk tonight."

"But you'll die in six days!"

"Even if I don't do that, I will still die in two years. Now this approach can at least keep my brother alive." Dong Zhou was as calm as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"..."

Cheng Zhang opened his mouth and found that he could not find any reason to refute. If all irrational factors were discarded, Dong Zhou's approach was undoubtedly correct. What's more, this was her body and she had the right to decide her own life and death.

After a long silence, the city lord silently gave up control.

Dong Zhou immediately picked up the phone and sent a message to Xia Ye: "Brother, can you go home early tonight? I have something to discuss with you."

Almost without waiting, she received a reply from Xia Ye: "Okay, I'll go back now."

……

That night, Dong Zhou returned home with the experimental data and samples of "Dusk" and told Xia Ye that he had synthesized a special new material.

The city lord never appeared again.

Time goes by, the sun rises and sets, and five days pass in the blink of an eye. People under the rule of "Asia Pacific Power" welcome the new year in a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

On January 1st, my brother worked overtime at the company and stayed at home in the winter. It was rare that he did not do the data analysis that seemed to be endless. If the city lord's premonition and divination were not wrong, he would probably die tomorrow.

The girl looked out the window. It was as usual outside. She couldn't help but think about what she would die for.

Sudden illness? But my body is very healthy. Encountered a home invasion and robbery? This kind of thing rarely happens under "Asia Pacific Power". Could it be that a meteorite fell from the sky and killed him? Emmm…

The phone suddenly vibrated.

It was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated and picked up.

"Miss Dongzhi, we are somewhat interested in your new invention. Ah, before that, please allow me to introduce myself. I am from Z Company..."

A few minutes later, Dong Zhou ended the call with the person who called himself "Z Company Representative."

So, is it because of this...

Knowing that he would die tomorrow, Dong Zhou could easily think of this sudden change, which was probably the cause of his death.

Suddenly a voice sounded in my head. "Hello!"

It's the city lord.

"Ah, you haven't appeared these days. I thought you disappeared." Dong Zhou said.

"I'm not disappearing! At least not until you die!"

"I see, that means the other me just simply doesn't want to pay attention to me."

"..."

Dong Zhou guessed correctly, the city lord was indeed angry these days. Although she didn't understand why she was like this, but no matter what, she would not admit that she ignored Dong Zhou because of anger.

"Don't talk nonsense, give me your body and use it quickly." The city lord said.

"what are you up to?"

"Divination!"

Dong Zhou did not ask the city lord what he wanted to divine, and readily handed over control of his body.

As soon as he gained control, the city lord immediately opened Dong Zhou's backpack and found a thermos bottle - the bottle contained "ink" that had not been used up a few days ago. Then, she found a stack of paper and immediately started divination.

"Are you trying to divine whether I should refuse or agree to Company Z?" Although Dong Zhou couldn't read the crooked witch writing on the paper, she could guess what the city lord was thinking.

The city lord hesitated for a moment and reluctantly said "yes".

"what's the result?"

"If you reject Company Z's proposal, you will die tomorrow." As the city lord answered, the paper showing the divination results also turned to ashes in the black flames.

"What about brother?"

"...She won't. In addition, humans will still perish in two years."

"Let's divine what will happen if I agree to Company Z."

Even if Dong Zhou didn't say anything, the city lord was prepared to do this. She quickly completed the divination and got the answer quickly:

"If you agree to them... you and your brother will die in about a month. Humanity will be extinct in two years."

"Well, this is probably the consequence of betraying Asia Pacific Power." Dong Zhou was not surprised by the result. "It seems that I will die no matter what."

"It's only been two fortune-tellings. Maybe there are other possibilities! For example, for example..." The city lord said reluctantly, but after "like" for a long time, he couldn't come up with a hypothesis.

"For example, if I pretend to agree to Company Z, then tell Asia Pacific Power about this matter, and ask them to find a way to ensure my safety?"

"Ah, yes! Huh..."

"If possible, of course I don't want to die casually." Dong Zhou knew what the city lord was surprised about, so he calmly explained, "Let's do the divination quickly."

"Oh...um..."

The results of the divination came out quickly: both brother and sister would die in about half a year. Humanity will die in two years.

"..." Seeing the result, even the city lord felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

On the contrary, Dong Zhou took the initiative to speak: "Let's do the divination again. What if I..."

In the next hour, Dong Zhou continued to come up with new countermeasures, and the strategies became more and more complex. In the end, the city lord was completely unable to understand her thoughts and could only keep what Dong Zhou said intact. written on paper.

But in all outcomes, both brother and sister will die, and their longest survival time is no more than a year.

"That..." The city lord suddenly spoke, interrupting Dong Zhou's meditation.

"Ok?"

"The 'ink' has run out. Let's go to the laboratory to make some more. It will be quick."

"No need..." Dong Zhou seemed to smile softly, "I can't think of any other hypothesis."

"……Oh."

The two of them fell into silence, and the city owner felt that she was being overwhelmed by a familiar feeling of powerlessness, just like she couldn't save her sister, and now she could only watch her other self die.

Finally, Dong Zhou spoke to break the silence.

"Well... I remember you told me that my brother traveled to your world and became your sister, right?"

"She's not mine... I, I mean... I don't know if she is my sister. Anyway, I thought my sister was dead, but then she was resurrected for some reason, and then my sister became her... …”

"Ah."

Dong Zhou was silent for a while and said:

"Other me, can you grant my request?"

"W-what request?"

"After I die tomorrow, when you and your brother return to that witch's world, can you take my place and be his sister?"
