My fate is up to me.

Author: Quan Duojin

My fate is up to me.

At this moment, I saw my own destiny chart through the depths of my soul.

Countless ancient and complicated words appeared on the pure white octagonal horoscope disk. These words flashed very fast and were constantly rotating, just like the ever-changing life.

Although I have never studied these words, I can read them at a glance and see the life chart change from short-lived to long-lived, from long-lived to fallen, and in the fallen, a glimmer of life is forcibly poured into me...

A shiver surged from deep inside my heart, as if I had glimpsed a secret that could not be revealed.

My intuition told me that this was very important to me. I wanted to explore more, but my horoscope suddenly shook violently.

I realized something was wrong and wanted to get out, but it was too late.

Countless cracks appeared in the completely natural destiny chart, and it was shattered into powder in an instant.

The shattered light hit the depths of the soul, causing severe pain.

I heard Shao Yuwei let out an extremely shrill scream, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw that she was showing off her power just now and was in extreme pain, as if she had touched something that could not be seen directly.

Shao Yuwei's eye sockets emitted pure white light, and within the white light, dark red blood spurted out.

The girl who was still alive just now seemed to have been drained of life in an instant, and her body turned into a rickety old woman, with bleeding from all her orifices. White light enveloped her completely. Shao Yuwei's body could not withstand this power, and she turned into powder along with her soul.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and I was also in great pain. Only half a step away from being exterminated, a black snake suddenly appeared in my soul out of thin air, and blocked me from this soul-shattering light without hesitation.

That’s Yun Xiao!

My eyes flashed, and my consciousness returned to the warehouse from the space where the life grid was, and I saw Yun Xiao's staring figure turn into a shadow and drift into mist.

"Yun Xiao!" I reached out to grab him, and Yun Xiao's body transformed into mist and re-condensed into a solid entity, holding my shoulders tightly: "Weiwei, don't look, your fate is up to you."

He almost used all his strength to say these words, and as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Xiao's solid body instantly floated away, turned into black mist again, and penetrated into the black snake mark on my forehead.

I could feel his weakness, and I knew that Yun Xiao did not go to practice, but kept an eye on his surroundings, fearing that there would be another danger.

The surroundings were very quiet, except for Yun Xiao and I, everyone seemed dead, and even the vibrant weeds between the cracks in the wall had turned into withered grass debris.

Apart from the magic circle and blood on the ground, Shao Yuwei seemed to have never been to this place.

I didn't want Yun Xiao to worry about me anymore, so I comforted him: "You can go practice, I'll be fine, I can handle the things here."

His forehead felt warm, as if Yun Xiao was saying that he was fine and could continue to guard me.

"Yunxiao, please be obedient. Now that we have cultivated well, we can better protect ourselves in the future." I continued to coax him, and the warmth on my forehead turned into a slight coolness, like his gentle kiss.

I know that he listened to these words and has already gone to practice.

The pain caused by the broken life chart made my head feel dizzy. I was afraid that Yun Xiao would be worried, so I didn't dare to show it, so I forced myself to focus on the warehouse.

Judging from the situation just now, Shao Yuwei should be dead, with both body and soul disintegrated. If Yun Xiao hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid I would have suffered the same fate.

Is this the price of spying on the secrets of heaven?

But as an ordinary person, how can my destiny be regarded as a secret that cannot be revealed?

And because my family has been very poor these years, I still feel that I am destined to be poor. Shao Yuwei actually said that I am unparalleled in wealth?

The scary thing is that I also saw the same destiny number on my own horoscope.

It’s just that after becoming unparalleled in wealth, my body and mind will be gone.

If the future is really going to be so miserable, it seems that it is not impossible to remain so poor.

Fortune telling is a mysterious and mysterious thing. I couldn't figure out the result in this matter, so I decided to listen to Yun Xiao and not read the fortune chart.

I control my own life!

The top priority is to get rid of the puppet doll with my birth date written on it.

The puppet seemed to be made of linen, with complex spells embroidered with blood-colored silk threads. As soon as I touched it, I felt an abnormal chill.

This coldness is incomparable to the coldness on Yun Xiao's body. I definitely couldn't bear it originally, but I have been with Yun Xiao for a long time recently and I don't think it's anything. I picked up the puppet and pulled out the spikes on its chest.

The spike was about an inch long and penetrated the puppet's heart. The puppet's whole body was made of linen, but the spike seemed to be nailed to the wall, making it extremely difficult to pull out.

It took a lot of effort for me to move a little bit, but suddenly there was a pain in my heart, as if a nail had really been driven there.

I rubbed my heart to make sure there was nothing there, and then tentatively fiddled with the spike on the puppet's heart.

The pain came as expected.

The pain on the puppet's body was actually linked to my body. I immediately didn't dare to move the doll anymore and carefully put it into my bag to avoid falling into other people's hands.

I checked the things left by Shao Yuwei. They were all things needed for casting spells, such as cinnabar and yellow paper. There were also some linen embroidered with spells and blood-red wooden spikes, which were made of the same material as the puppet doll.

In addition, there is a notebook in which she writes down her experience in casting spells.

"The spell is so damn hard to remember! I mispronounced it again and the spell failed!"

"Diagram of the fate-borrowing grid: the two small circles must be the same size, no need to use a compass to get angry!"

…

There are also some complex ancient texts with pronunciations marked in Pinyin, which should be the incantations needed to cast spells.

These things can easily harm people, so I didn’t dare to keep them here, so I collected them all and planned to ask Yun Xiao how to deal with them later.

As for the formations left on the ground, I don’t know what they were painted with. The paint is extremely strong.

There was really nothing I could do, so I could only pour all the remaining paint in the bucket over it, destroying the original appearance of the formation and making it impossible for others to use it.

Then, I erased all traces of myself and left the warehouse.

On the way back, my heart felt heavy.

Shao Yuxi died like this. Although she was the one who harmed me first, I am still a little sad because we have been friends for many years. Not only for her death, but also for our friendship.

Aunt Cheng is still happily preparing to get married, and I don't even know how to tell her about it.

When I was riding my bike home, I passed by Shao Yuxi's noodle shop and saw Aunt Cheng sitting behind the cashier, settling accounts. I didn't dare to stop, so I rushed into my own canteen and ran back to my room.

After locking the door, closing the curtains, and making sure there were no outsiders, I dared to take the things out of the bag and hide them one by one.

Yun Xiao was seriously injured this time, and she didn’t know when she would be able to come out. I sat alone at my desk, looking at the ceiling, and felt hesitant and helpless for the first time.

I don’t know since when, I have become accustomed to relying on Yun Xiao.

That night, I waited until late at night, but Yun Xiao didn't show up. What happened during the day was replayed in my mind repeatedly. I was worried about Yun Xiao and couldn't sleep at all.

There was a biting chill outside the house, and the house snake came out.

I thought it would ignore my mother and me and go about its own business like the previous two nights, but I didn’t expect that the chill was getting worse and worse, and a snake shadow suddenly appeared on my window!
