Capítulo 1982: Chapter 886: Praying for Ancestor’s Blessing!
This number left the whole audience in silence, filled with worry.
Li Yintong and the others couldn’t keep count, but they heard Xia Hongyao’s words and felt she wouldn’t be wrong. After all, she was Xia Hongmian’s younger sister, equally extraordinary.
Moreover, Dayao’s Snow Princess also said it was twenty-three, so everyone thought that was the correct answer. But now, Lin Baici gave a new number.
Raphael furrowed his brow; how did this guy count?
He was known as the Miracle Magician, very familiar with this Dove Magic and had a Great Divine Grace to monitor it.
“BINGO!”
The Human-head deity smiled slightly: “You got it right!”
Phew!
The people holding their breath relaxed.
“As expected of Haijing god of forest!”
The ring girl praised, mimicking applause with her hands to silently comnd him.
“Impressive!”
Huang Cheng couldn’t hold back, pinched his right hand’s thumb and forefinger, and blew a whistle.
The Human-head deity turned his head, looking at San Miyairi behind Lin Baici.
“Co on, guess the pigeons!”
As the Human-head deity spoke, cooing sounds began, and pigeons started appearing from its collar and sleeves.
San Miyairi fully concentrated, her senses heightened.
The pigeons appeared and disappeared, the last one exploding with a bang, scattering feathers like a sacred rain.
“Please answer!”
The Human-head deity began the countdown.
San Miyairi looked at Lin Baici.
A number echoed in her mind, given by her Guarding Spirit, but given the earlier situation, this number was likely incorrect.
[Thirty-three!] said the Eater God.
Lin Baici first put his right hand on his hip, then behind his back, extended his index, middle, and ring fingers before quickly retracting them, then signaled again.
“Sure enough, it’s different from what the Guarding Spirit counted!”
San Miyairi reflected.
At the age of seven, she received this Guarding Spirit. Throughout her journey in God’s ruins, she had encountered many crises, always resolved with its help. In every life-or-death decision, she preferred listening to the Guarding Spirit…
Sorry,
this ti, I’m going with Lord Lin’s answer.
San Miyairi said in her heart and reported a number.
“Thirty-three!”
The Human-head deity nodded.
Wow!
The crowd gasped, all eyes on Lin Baici.
Getting it right once might be luck, but getting it right twice ans there must be so skill involved.
Xia Hongyao, seeing the situation, realized this little magic was well settled. She imdiately straightened up, eagerly watching the Human-head deity, waiting for its question.
The Human-head deity glanced at Xia Hongyao, ignored her, and walked in that distinctive paralyzed manner towards the others.
“No way? What about ?”
Xia Hongyao was frustrated, like soone who found the answer ahead of ti and was ready to ace the exam, only to have the teacher announce there would be no test.
It was super frustrating!
Facing the approaching Human-head deity, Wang Qing and the others tensed up, ready for the worst.
The Human-head deity looked around and then pointed to the ring girl.
This woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, quite ordinary, a solid six out of ten. When the Human-head deity chose her, she felt a bewildered panic.
“Calm down, acting dumb won’t save you.”
Huang Cheng advised.
“I… I’m not acting dumb!”
The ring girl stamred, looking at Lin Baici with puppy eyes, almost begging for help.
“Don’t worry, God Lin is kind and will help you!”
Huang Cheng comforted.
The Human-head deity didn’t change the question; it was still the ‘Dove Magic.’
The ring girl widened her eyes, wishing she were a video recorder to capture every fra.
Coo, coo!
The pigeons started cooing again.
This ti it got more difficult; pigeons erged and returned not just from the Human-head deity and ring girl’s clothes but also involved others.
The ring girl looked around anxiously, fiddling with the diamond ring on her left hand’s ring finger, taking it off and putting it back on.
The action showed how anxious she felt.
“Can’t hear, can’t see, can’t sll—what should I do?”
Lin Baici suddenly had a flash of inspiration and closed his eyes.
Hmm?
Under the dark clouds, in the abandoned factory, the light was dim. But when Lin Baici closed his eyes, he noticed so white spots.
They appeared and disappeared in various places.
Could these be the pigeons?
Hmm!
The size of these white spots varied, likely representing different pigeons.
Lin Baici opened his eyes, wanting to verify it as the Dove Magic concluded with an explosion.
“How many pigeons did I produce in total?”
The Human-head deity spoke slowly, like a man without temper, but everyone knew that answering incorrectly would definitely bring bad luck.
The Wedding Ring Woman looked at the feathers all over the sky, listened to the countdown of the Human-head deity, and looked at Lin Baici for help.
“Eater God, is it twenty-seven?”
Lin Baici couldn’t be sure.
[Congratulations, you’ve found the trick!]
Lin Baici imdiately signaled twenty-seven.
The most cost-effective approach was to remain silent and see what happens to the Wedding Ring Woman after answering incorrectly, from which to infer the ability of the Human-head deity.
But Lin Baici wasn’t cold-blooded enough to watch others die.
After all, he could save her life by simply saying a number.
“Twenty-seven!”
The Wedding Ring Woman answered.
The Human-head deity nodded.
The Wedding Ring Woman knew she had passed the test and imdiately patted her chest, letting out a huge sigh of relief.
“Fuck, not a single person died?”
Raphael was annoyed; he still wanted to see what this BOSS’s killing move was.
He himself had the Eyes of the Star God, which could see through all illusions and behold the truth; it was a Great Divine Grace given by his uncle, rumored to be stripped from a deity.
By comparison, the Haijing god of forest must also possess Divine Grace from a deity to answer correctly so many tis.
“Are you guys tired of this Dove Magic trick yet?”
The Human-head deity seed puzzled; the opponent guessed the number right every ti, leaving it uninterested in performing.
“Not tired, not tired!”
“Very aweso magic, if I were a talent show coach, I would definitely turn around for you!”
“A very spectacular magic trick!”
Everyone flattered, praying the deity wouldn’t change the trick and just play this.
Because of Lin Baici’s presence, everyone felt they could pass.
“Alright, one last ti!”
The Human-head deity decided to try again, then it looked around and pointed at Wang Qing.
“Huh?”
Wang Qing was dumbfounded, swearing in his heart!
How’s my luck so bad?
It’s the last round, and it’s my turn?
However, fortunately, there’s God Lin to hold the fort!
Wang Qing looked to Lin Baici, clasped his hands together, and kept praying.
“What are you doing?”
The Human-head deity was confused.
“Praying for ancestors’ blessing!”
Wang Qing squeezed out a smile: “God Lin, as long as I can pass this test, you will be my ancestor, and I’ll offer incense and seasonal fruits to you daily!”
The Human-head deity began performing the magic trick.
Goo goo! Goo goo!
Those doves appeared and vanished mysteriously.
Lin Baici imdiately closed his eyes and focused on those white dots.
Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi saw this and also closed their eyes, then they saw those white dots.
“I see!”
The two girls realized.
Turns out, to guess the doves, you can’t actually look, you have to close your eyes.
“Please answer!”
The Human-head deity started counting down.
Gulp!
Wang Qing swallowed hard, waiting for Lin Baici’s answer.
“Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”
Wang Qing urged in his heart.
Lin Baici signaled a gesture of three and six.
With the answer, Wang Qing wasn’t anxious anymore; he pretended to struggle recalling, answered with 36 right before the countdown ended.
The Human-head deity nodded.
“Oh yeah!”
Wang Qing pumped his fist.
“Hold on, it’s not over!”
The Human-head deity interjected.
“Huh?”
Wang Qing froze: “What do you an it’s not over? Haven’t they been answering with a single number to finish?”
“This is the last ti, so there’s a bonus question!”
The Human-head deity explained.
“Damn it!”
Wang Qing was so mad he wanted to smash the monster’s head; why did the difficulty increase when it’s his turn?
“Please tell from where the seventeenth dove magically appeared?”
The Human-head deity presented the bonus question.
How would Wang Qing know this, he could only seek help from Lin Baici.
“Ancestor, it’s all on you!”
