The sudden burst of noisy drum beats and powerful strumming made the Diviner frown involuntarily.
"What is that?"
He walked up to Lin Yu and noticed the clothing on his chest vibrating slightly.
That was also the source of the sound.
An ominous premonition rose in the Diviner's heart. He crooked his finger, and Lin Yu's jacket flipped open.
A phone floated out from Lin Yu's inner jacket pocket.
That phone didn't seem to belong to "Lin Yu."
It was a small mini phone with a light pink exterior.
The reason it was playing music was because an incoming call was coming through.
The screen displayed "Unknown Caller," with the green answer button pulsating.
The Diviner hesitated for a mont, then pressed the decline button.
But there was no response.
Whether he tapped or dragged it, the red decline button was like a re decoration, akin to an exquisitely crafted food model in a display window, refusing any real interaction with him.
This silent attempt seed to carry a voice from the unseen, warning the Diviner...
"You must answer it imdiately."
The Diviner sighed and pressed the speakerphone button to answer the call.
"Hello, who is this?"
He asked helplessly.
chanical laughter ca from the other end of the phone: "Ha, ha, ha... Didn't you predict this?"
"You should have at least guessed it, right?"
Hearing the electronic synthesized voice, the Diviner gently massaged his temples: "So it really is you... I was saying, just one 'Robin' plus one 'First-Tier' shouldn't have made calculate an 'unfavorable' or even 'dangerous' divination result."
"So it's you behind this... What, are you also interested in the Psychological Society's legacy?"
As the Diviner spoke, laughter ca from the other end of the phone again.
"Ha, ha... Not really."
"I'm calling to ask you to do a favor and spare the two people beside you."
Hearing the sounds from the speaker, the Diviner narrowed his eyes.
"And if I refuse?"
"That's fine too, but I'll demonstrate my sincerity to the maximum extent possible..."
As the voice from the phone spoke, a burst of noisy static sounded—as if the signal was being interfered with.
But this "zizi lala" static noise soon wasn't just coming from the speaker;
it echoed throughout the entire island.
Above the sky, dark green numbers flowed like a waterfall, as if an invisible do had opened and clamped down.
Noisy snowflake patterns and jumping garbled code covered the ground, making the Diviner's expression change slightly.
"[Digital Barrier]... What are you planning to do?"
As he spoke, a cursor appeared in response, materializing right in the center of the sky beneath the do.
"RULE ONE: There is no DEUS."
One jumping letter after another appeared, accompanied by the uncompromising voice coming from the phone.
"Rule One: Higher-dinsional beings are forbidden from entering this place."
Then, from the crevices of the island's rocks, a fur ball flew out and was thrown outside the flowing green digital curtain.
"Wah!"
The voice from the phone sounded again: "So, Diviner, is my sincerity satisfactory?"
"At least until I permit it, those gods, demigods, and other miscellaneous things won't be bothering you anymore."
The Diviner pondered for a mont, then his fingers began to move.
"This Night Watchn girl... Hmm, it's not her."
"What's your relationship with this kid?"
The voice from the phone laughed: "No relationship, I just have high hopes for him."
"Oh, really..."
The Diviner murmured, then said: "Then that makes it even more necessary to eliminate him."
As he spoke, he casually threw the phone toward the sea.
The small pink phone traced an arc through the air but soon bizarrely reversed course, hovering in mid-air.
"So rude, but luckily I have flight mode!"
A relieved voice ca from the phone.
The corner of the Diviner's eye twitched: "What kind of flight mode is that?"
"Anyway, anyway, it seems like you don't respond to soft approaches and prefer the hard way?"
The pink phone brought the conversation back on track, speaking with a sowhat threatening tone.
"I've never responded to either soft or hard approaches," the Diviner said calmly. "Once I've decided to do sothing, no one can stop ."
"I know you have many thods, 'Hacker,' but you're only lacking in 'direct confrontation' abilities."
"Even if you can prevent gods from entering this place and throw out the 'fate fragnts,' if I'm already prepared to make certain sacrifices, can you really stop ?"
The Diviner countered, and silence ca from the other end of the phone.
"You really hit my sore spot, you're so annoying, always exposing people's weaknesses."
"Do you absolutely have to kill him? No room for negotiation?"
The voice from the phone asked, and the Diviner nodded.
"If you weren't so determined to protect him, I might not have such a strong desire to eliminate him..."
"But then again, your ban on gods entering has actually helped instead. This kid seems to be quite 'favored' by the gods."
The electronic synthesized voice from the phone sighed.
"Of course I know that, idiot. I just don't want him to owe those guys any more favors... His own path should be chosen by himself."
The Diviner sneered mockingly: "But now he only has a dead end ahead."
"That's not necessarily true."
The voice from the phone said.
"What, are you planning to co here personally?" the Diviner sighed. "But even then, it would be too late."
"No, not . And it's not too late."
After saying this, the call abruptly ended.
Hearing the other party's abrupt and incomplete final rebuttal, the Diviner frowned.
"Talking nonsense."
He cursed, then threw the phone aside again, preparing to step forward and completely end Lin Yu's life.
But the mont the Diviner took his first step, he stopped moving.
On one hand, it was because his intuition sensed sothing very "dangerous"—as the 'Diviner,' his "intuition" was itself part of his abilities, so he naturally couldn't ignore it.
And on the other hand...
He didn't hear the sound of the phone hitting the ground.
The Diviner imdiately turned around, then saw an unexpected figure, completely beyond his expectations.
Since becoming the 'Diviner,' he had rarely encountered "unexpected" situations.
But today, he had encountered far too many.
And all of those combined weren't as surprising as the scene before him now.
A young woman wearing white Tai Chi clothes caught the falling phone steadily with the tip of her foot, then with perfectly balanced movents, brought the phone before her and tucked it into her pocket.
Then, her healthy face revealed a friendly smile.
"Good day to you, 'Diviner.'"
Although her tone was peaceful as she greeted him, the other party had one foot forward, one hand pushing forward and the other hanging back, assuming the starting stance of Open Door Eight Extres Fist.
The Diviner closed his eyes, his expression showing slight pain.
"Why is it you, 'Grandmaster'!"
