Chapter 792: Chapter 677: Encounter Again...

Displaying the Life Chart is not unusual.

The hospital bustled with people, with thousands passing by him daily. There were always a few whose figures lingered for a few extra seconds in the moment he held the mirror shard, just enough to capture and show the "Life Chart" they carried.

In the past few days, he had begun to discern a pattern: most people actually have no Life Chart, just like him, ordinary, as if they were the silent backdrop of this world.

This accounted for about eighty percent. The remaining one to two percent had a Life Chart, but most of them weren’t great, appearing clouded by misfortune.

For instance, [Plagued by Misfortune], [Nine Deaths and One Life], [Sudden Death], [Illness]... and so on, were Life Charts worse than none at all.

Of course, this had a lot to do with his constant presence in the hospital these days. Naturally, those who came here were not in the best state, and it’s understandable that their Life Charts appeared "unlucky".

Luo Ji initially just glanced down casually, intending to ignore the ill-fated Life Chart reflected in the mirror, as he had done many times over the past few days.

However, just as his gaze was about to move away, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his breath caught!

Because he clearly saw that the Life Chart name appearing on the mirror surface was—[Curtain’s Shadow Protection].

"Shield of the Curtain, a familiar term... no, it’s a different character, but it’s indeed the same ’Curtain’ character. Could it be..."

He abruptly lifted his head and swiftly glanced in the direction the mirror shard had inadvertently pointed.

Coming towards him were a few constables dressed in neat Uniforms from the Patrol Office, each with a serious expression and hurried steps.

The mirror shard had reflected the one leading them, whose face appeared unusually pale with an unmistakable fatigue between the brows, as if carrying some unhealed injuries.

In the instant Luo Ji’s gaze shot over, the leading constable, as if sensing something, sharply directed a keen look towards Luo Ji’s direction.

Luo Ji was startled, but reacted quickly, shifting his gaze nonchalantly and turning around naturally, pretending to be a patient about to leave the hospital, he slowed his steps, blending into the sparse crowd moving towards the door.

He deliberately adjusted his pace to let the constables pass him from behind and exit the hospital doors first.

"I was already planning to abandon this damned mirror and devote myself to worshiping Him, and yet, at such a moment, another clue emerges?

This is simply....."

Luo Ji watched as the backs of the constables disappeared at the hospital entrance, scratching his head with complex emotions, both bemused and burdened with thoughts, he followed them out of the hospital.

The cool morning breeze brushed across his face as he stood on the hospital steps, suddenly pausing, and as if driven by a mysterious impulse, he lifted the hand holding the mirror shard again.

But this time he did not face it towards others, instead, he directed it at himself.

"As expected, I still have no Life Chart?"

A few seconds later, Luo Ji sighed inwardly, that familiar sense of loss rising within him,

"Perhaps I really am just an ordinary person, and the only special thing is that I was chosen by the Lord by pure luck?"

Just as he was feeling disappointed and his hand was about to lower, an anomaly occurred!

The surface of the mirror shard, which had always shown no reaction, merely reflecting his appearance, suddenly rippled with a vague wave.

Following this, two twisted and eerie characters slowly emerged from the center of the ripples, dominating the entire mirror surface.

[Saint]!!

"Saint?"

Luo Ji’s heart leaped fiercely, almost exclaiming out loud, he stared intently at those characters, unconsciously repeating them several times.

A surge of indescribable joy instantly shattered all of his disappointment!

It sounds like an incredibly powerful Life Chart, far surpassing any [Shield of the Curtain].

The only slightly discordant thing is....

The characters [Saint] on the mirror were not in the pure and glorious golden font he imagined but in an... extremely absorbing, all-consuming... pitch black.

Black so pure, so thorough.

So black that, despite being only two characters, it seemed to possess a weight and viscosity as if it could absorb all light, staining the entire surface of the small mirror shard in his hand with a haunting, indelible ink....

.....

Luo Ji walked along the street with the [Saint] Life Chart, amidst the crowded throng, the low-draped eaves of the shanty town unchanged as they were.

Yet, Luo Ji felt light as a feather, as if he might defy gravity and soar at any moment.

This was an inexplicable experience, difficult to articulate precisely, but he clearly sensed—it was different now.

Not in a physical sense, but that something fundamental had quietly shifted.

It was like he had once merely been an ant, even after the Lord had bestowed him with strength, he still felt like an ant, only a stronger one.

But now, with the Life Chart "grown" above his head, he suddenly sensed that this ant had become distinctive.

Not stronger, but as if... something invisible, intangible, yet undeniably present had truly "grown" from his head.

One end deeply rooted in the essence of his soul, the other weaving upwards, piercing through the barriers of reality, vanishing into the inscrutable void, ultimately... gently yet irresistibly entangling around the Lord’s fingertips.
