After we broke up, my ex asked me to attack her

Chapter 333 Losing control
Indeed, predicting the future is a powerful ability. Even in a game it is undoubtedly a bug. If it appears on the protagonist of an animation it can be called a cheat.

But it happened to appear in an ordinary world with almost no danger, and the side effects it brought were unbearable for Kagura Hikaru, an ordinary person.

The timing of the prophecy's activation is uncertain, and his body will be completely unconscious for several minutes while the power is activated.

No one can tell when he will suddenly become dazed. If he suddenly freezes in the road, it would not be surprising if he gets hit by a car, which would make his life even more inconvenient.

I am afraid that before long, everyone will think that he has a brain disease. Otherwise, why would he be in a daze all day long and cannot be awakened even if called? It is obviously abnormal.

However, even though he had anticipated the consequences, Kagura Hikaru was helpless because he could not find a way to turn off this ability.

The golden finger that was always regarded as a convenient tool in the past now seems to show its dark side and begins to become hideous.

Is this a punishment for his wanton use of his abilities? If he hadn't read minds too much, this new ability wouldn't have appeared.

Whatever you say comes.

Just when she was thinking about her new ability, Kagura Hikaru suddenly fell into the state of prophecy again.

There was no warning, as if I was instantly swallowed up by darkness.

The next second, Kagura Hikari's consciousness appeared in a prophecy fragment, observing the future world from a first-person perspective.

It was a wonderful experience, like watching a VR movie, being in it but not in it.

This time the prophecy scene was very ordinary. He rarely saw himself sitting at the desk in the room with his back to the sun, reading a light novel.

When she first saw herself in the prophecy, Kagura Hikaru felt quite awkward, as if she had become a ghost and was watching a person who had taken over her body and was moving around in the human world.

Later, after watching it many times, I got used to it. The details of my words and actions in the picture were exactly the same as his. That was him.

Being able to predict one's own future is actually quite rare. Most of the time, Kagura sees all sorts of random things that have nothing to do with herself. It's lucky if she can see herself once out of a hundred times. She didn't expect to see herself for the second time in such a short time. She's very lucky.

Kagura Hikaru looked at the desk in the prophecy picture. There was an electronic clock on it. The date showed that it was today, and just half an hour later, the picture was clear enough that he could even see the page of the novel that 'himself' was reading.

This is the first time that a prophecy has been made so close in time, which makes Kagura Hikaru think.

A few seconds later, the prophecy ended abruptly, and the screen went dark like a turned-off TV. Kagura Hikaru opened her eyes and saw the real world.

[You gained by peeking into the future: Handcrafting +5]

【Handcrafting level 3 (89/100)】

After the prophecy is over, he will gain a random skill experience, which is directly increased by five points at a time. It is equivalent to reading a person's mind five times, which is like asking for death.

Kagura Hikaru calmed himself down and realized that Komori Ai had moved him to the bed and made him sit up, then snuggled in his arms to play the Steam handheld game console - that was the one Kagura Hikaru bought for her not long ago because she had been clamoring to play it after seeing the commercial. Now she was playing the old man's ring.

Leaning against the wall, Kagura Hikaru raised her head, pressed her head against the wall, looked at the ceiling and sighed.

In fact, the side effects of daydreaming were not completely unbearable. What really frightened him was the idea of ​​gaining experience.

Have you noticed? Now he doesn't need to read minds and he will automatically gain experience. This golden finger is actively sending him experience packages, and he will become stronger even if he stands still.

But is this really a good thing?

Both the way and amount of experience gained are now completely out of control, and Kagura Hikaru is unable to control the growth of her skills at all.

If this continues, in a week at the shortest and a month at the longest, he will be forced to acquire the next new ability because he meets the conditions.

The next ability might be just like the current "foreseeing the future", with uncontrollable risks and side effects.

Whether the side effects are serious or minor is completely unknown.
From ancient times to the present, there is only one thing that humans truly fear, and that is the 'unknown future'.

If all new abilities in the future have side effects, and Kagura Hikaru cannot stop gaining experience, and all kinds of strange "symptoms" continue to accumulate, then he will undoubtedly be driven crazy in the long-term torture.

When the worst happens, perhaps the only way to find relief is to commit suicide.

Kagura Hikaru didn't want to think about the situation so pessimistically, but he knew that this world never lets people get what they want, and what he predicted was very likely to happen.

Unfortunately, he still didn't know how to stop it. Strictly speaking, the golden finger didn't belong to him, because he was just a user, not a creator. This kind of superpower? Or high technology? It was not something that modern humans could control.

Kagura Hikaru picked up Komori Ai and threw her aside, then got up from the bed, found the light novel that 'he' was reading in the prophecy, opened it, tore off the page that he saw 'himself' reading at the time, tore it into small pieces and threw it into the trash can.

The page had been shredded, and he would not be able to read it half an hour later or now.

Kagura Hikaru did something completely contrary to the prophecy, so the prophecy would not come true.

He did it on purpose, and Kagura Hikaru wondered what the consequences would be if the prophecy went wrong.

All that remains is to wait.

Kagura Hikaru spent half an hour on the bed scrolling through his phone.

When the time came, Kagura Hikaru got up and walked to the desk, turning the pages of the novel - the page he tore off was not restored, and the fragments lay obediently in the trash can.

Nothing happened, the predicted future was wrong.

The so-called ability to 'predict the future' seems to be just a mechanical calculation and is not absolute.

He did not act as predicted within the specified time, but did not encounter any time and space paradox, which shows that the future can be changed, and the so-called "fate" imagined by philosophers does not exist, which makes Kagura Hikaru feel a little relieved.

Although this is only a small consolation, the real problem still exists.

Kagura Hikaru put the book back.

On a whim, he decided to go out for a walk.

It was already night and it was pitch black outside, but that was just what he wanted. The quiet environment was more suitable for thinking.

After saying hello to Kirishina, Kagura Hikaru left home alone.

Komori Ai rarely followed me because she wanted to play games in her room.

Kagura Hikari walked out of the apartment building and wandered aimlessly nearby. The street lights were not very bright, but fortunately the moonlight illuminated the way ahead.

Before he knew it, he came to a river with a bridge over it. Crossing the bridge was the downtown area.

The lights coming from over there are very attractive, and I can faintly hear the sound of drums. Is there some kind of festival being held so late at night?

Just as Kagura Hikaru was about to walk onto the bridge, he saw a strange night stall at the bridgehead.

It was like a small stall selling antiques and souvenirs near the scenic area, with a strange red light on and a sign saying "divination" hanging outside.

Sitting behind the stall was an old lady exuding a strange and evil aura. She had loose skin, sparse silver hair, and was extremely thin. She looked to be at least ninety years old.

"What do you want to ask?" The old fortune teller opened one eye.

"."

The mysterious evil spirit was extremely convincing, so Kagura analyzed it rationally and concluded that it was impossible for someone who emitted such evil spirit for free to be inaccurate in divination!
Driven by the anxious and inexplicable atmosphere, he involuntarily sat down in front of the fortune-telling stall.
