Chapter 197: People Will Seek Our Autograph in Red Nautilus

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

The news about the destruction brought by the two teenagers spread quickly within the spirits in the other carriages. Consequently, all the duoluozhongs in the trains avoided the carriage while the two siblings and Lin Sanjiu were in, leaving it nice and clean, with working fluorescent lights which didn’t flicker and the rhythmic sound of the train chugging along the tracks.

“Erm, if you aren’t a duoluozhong, what are you?” The teenager called Reno asked while he reclined in his seat. Even though he was quite skinny, he tried to make his actions more mature and unrestrained. After he asked Lin Sanjiu this question cheerfully, he threw a sidelong glance at his unhappy sister, Rena, who couldn’t help looking their way.

Lin Sanjiu slowly changed her form to state the word ‘human’. She seemed rather cold, displaying even some sense of superiority, even though she was just an organ. But, Lin Sanjiu had no choice because being friendly was too tiring and costly. Using her current form to create words wasn’t something easy for her so she didn’t want to make a single superfluous word.

When she spelled the word ‘stupid’, she was just showing her anger. She really had to thank the siblings for their non-stop rivalry. If the brother didn’t have the constant urge to make fun of his sister, and if his sister wasn’t a sensible person, Lin Sanjiu would really have a hard time escaping from this situation. She was certainly in extreme danger when she was found by Reno.

Luckily, though she didn’t really know how to deal with those kids personality and tempers, they seemed kind-hearted. “If you are a human, how did you end up like this?” Rena blurted, unable to quash her curiosity.

Unfortunately, the question was a little too complicated. If Lin Sanjiu had to control her form to slowly spell out what had happened, she would die from exhaustion. After giving it some thought, she spelled out two words: Too long.

“Blah, you’re haughty!” Rena rolled her eyes, “Brother, listen to me. Duoluozhongs are all very crafty. Maybe, this is some sort of special duoluozhong… Don’t blame me for not warning you if something goes wrong.”

“Oh,” Reno answered without minding one bit. “Do you think I am as stupid as you? When I first saw her, I already used my ability to confirm that she isn’t a duoluozhong.”

Bringing this up, Lin Sanjiu instantly felt sullen.

When Reno found her, she really thought that she was done for. Existing in her higher consciousness form, Lin Sanjiu found out that she could sense some things she had never noticed before. This was especially true when she was dealing with other humans. She realized that she could now easily pick up her opponent’s every breath and observable information.

Moments ago, when she was trapped in a corner by Reno, she immediately sensed that the teen was definitely stronger than his sister. In addition, he took a firmer stance than his sister. The teenager had muttered something and waved his hands. A page of yellow paper appeared from nowhere. Just when Lin Sanjiu expected that she would be attacked by it and gathered all her higher consciousness planning to endure the attack straight on, the paper was already in front of her. Following which, it disappeared in mid-air with a ‘snap’. It didn’t even touch her.

In her pure higher consciousness form, she quickly sensed that some faint impurity was flowing within her ‘body’.

“Is this his attack?” Lin Sanjiu wondered, but before she could complete her thought the teenager responded.

“Huh? That’s weird. My [Almanac] only reacts like this to humans…”

[Did you check your almanac before leaving your house today?]

It is quite a pity that young people nowadays ignore the importance of calendar systems. Doesn’t everyone know how awesome almanacs are? How many generations of imperial astronomers have poured their efforts into systems, divination, astronomy, and trigrams to create the perpetual calendar 1 ? Yet, no one bothers to look at it now? Isn’t that unbelievable? This ability emerged in order to restore Chinese traditional culture.

Effects: Works like a curse. The user can call out a page of his almanac at any time to target his opponent (it doesn’t have to be an enemy). The predictions of fortune on that page would ‘influence’ the opponent for a certain period of time. This has a 100% accuracy and this attack cannot be evaded. The duration of the effect is random.

Note: The content of the almanac is completely random. The predictions provide a random effect… There have been occasions when it provided a boost to the user’s enemy.

PS: Only humans would be affected by the curse. The pages of the almanac had long been used for exorcism and to drive away evil, thus the ability can be used as an attack on the opponent. In other words, if the opponent is a human, the curse ability would be activated first. If it is not human, or according to the user’s wishes, the combat ability would be activated.

Considering that the almanac page did not cause any direct harm, a thought flashed through her mind. Before she could rejoice over not dying, she quickly reacted by spelling out words and thus was able to communicate. She ‘conversed’ with the teenager briefly. But, they finally reached an awkward silence where both looked at each other.

“What is my fortune?”

It was hard for Lin Sanjiu to spell out four words, but Reno understood what she meant. “Erm…” he hesitated. He shook his head and appeared to find it difficult to answer her.

“I have a ‘carbon copy’ here, you can look at it yourself…” With that, Reno showed Lin Sanjiu the page he used on her.

This was the reason why Lin Sanjiu felt sullen when this topic was brought up.

“Bro, so what is the content of that page?” Rena asked eagerly. After hearing how the whole situation played out to this point, Rena was no longer angry, but instead had a cheeky expression, almost as if she had prepared herself to laugh out loud at the brain in front of her.

Reno coughed, “Energies for the day make it suitable for marriage, unsuitable… unsuitable for consummation.”

Compared to her brother, Rena was unembarrassed about such matters. She slapped her thighs and bowed over laughing, “Ha ha ha ha! It must be hard to suppress your urges!” Rena felt that she finally got revenge over being questioned by that brain about her intelligence.

The gray brain couldn’t display her expression at all, so Lin Sanjiu did feel restrained! She changed into two large exclamation marks, but it was useless.

After Rena finally finished laughing, Lin Sanjiu asked the siblings about their backgrounds.

“We are famous around Red Nautilus,” Rena said boastfully as she raised her chin, and her round eyes sparkled. “Anyway, anyone who had lived there a few years would have definitely heard of us, siblings.”

However, Lin Sanjiu had never even heard of Red Nautilus.

“You’re such a country bumpkin! Have you heard of the Twelve Worlds Centrum?”
