Chapter 444: The Interferer of Fate
Chapter 444: The Interferer of Fate
"Cough—"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
In the dead of night, a coughing sound reverberated through the docks of the Purple Zone.
On the pitch-black sea, countless ships still floated, forming a skirt-like array along the illuminated docks.
Aboard one of the passenger ships, a young girl in a wheelchair slowly made her way ashore.
She coughed incessantly, her breath weak and frail, like a fragile petal ready to wither at any moment.
But as soon as she reached the shore, her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the city before her.
"Thousand Sails City."
"I never thought I'd have the chance to come back..."
The girl slightly bowed her head and picked up a notebook, flipping through its pages.
The last words written on the paper were clear and legible—
【After Anthony was parasitized and transformed into a beast, he roamed the city day and night, howling his lover's name. In the end, he was slain by the Blue Robe Enforcer.】
【Lina became addicted to the Color Dream Potion. Lost in her obsession with her lover, she forever fell into a dream, until her long life was exhausted, and she finally died.】
【Mortals and the divine, those with love, will never find each other.】
【—The Curtain Falls—】
Just then, the handwriting suddenly blurred.
The words symbolizing the couple's fate began to disappear from the page, one by one.
"Cough—"
The girl's body trembled, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
But her expression showed no fear; instead, she reached up and grabbed her collar, her cheeks flushing with feverish excitement.
"Ah! Yes! This is it!"
"Even if it's just an ordinary tragic love story, one that won't harm yourself, you can still stop it in time!"
"My hero!"
"Lindsay, I'll definitely create the best story for you!"
At this moment, a commotion erupted outside a shop near the docks.
"Scum! How dare you do this?"
"A child barely five or six years old comes with five silver coins, and you dare sell it to him? Have you no morals?"
"Whore, I'm ashamed of you!"
A father was shouting and yelling outside a small art shop.
The child, no more than five or six years old, was curled up in a corner next to the shop's entrance. He didn't cry or show any signs of fear; he just looked dazed and lost.
His father kicked him:
"You little brat, who gave you the guts to take money from home?"
"Talk!"
The child cried and crawled, begging his father for mercy:
"I'm sorry, I'll never do it again!"
"I just... I just wanted..."
"Dad, please spare me!"
Someone nearby couldn't bear to watch, and stepped in to mediate:
"That's enough, just a couple of hits."
"Kids don't understand, just talk to him nicely, a few silver coins is all it takes."
Others mocked the father:
"For just a few silver coins, to act like this, you don't need to be a father."
"What do you expect from a poor man?"
The father immediately turned his anger towards the mediator:
"What are you trying to do?"
The two began to push and shove each other.
"What are you doing?"
"Hit me, go on, try it!"
Soon, a crowd gathered and the commotion grew outside the art shop.
The girl in the wheelchair looked up, and a delighted smile spread across her face.
She put down her notebook and quickly wheeled herself closer, positioning herself in front of the shouting father:
"Sir, it's already late at night."
"To avoid disturbing others—how about this, I'll personally give you five silver coins, can you just leave it at that?"
The father's eyes narrowed, his face turning red and blue:
"You... what do you mean?"
The girl took out a gold coin:
"How about a gold coin?"
The father's eyes widened:
"Do you think I came here for money?"
The girl raised the price again:
"10 gold coins."
"..."
The father, holding the child, left with the gold coins.
The girl in the wheelchair watched them, as if witnessing a top-tier performance, following with keen interest. She began to observe:
"Greed, impulsiveness, and excess..."
"Love for a child will surely bring you back on track, right?"
"..."
On the other side, Lindsay and Wah Wah Wah had also left the room.
The love between Anthony and Lina still required their own efforts in the future.
Lindsay and her companion had little room to interfere further, so they bid farewell to the couple.
On their way back to their rooms, Lindsay kept her eyes on the task bar, her brows furrowed in worry.
"Lindsay, what are you thinking about?"
Wah Wah Wah noticed Lindsay's state:
"Although Anthony and Lina have both suffered misfortunes, they have at least found each other. Why are you so dejected?"
Lindsay shook her head:
"It's not because of that."
"Wah Wah Wah, do you know about fate interference and the rewriting of one's life path?"
Wah Wah Wah always brought surprises.
Upon hearing Lindsay's description, she had an idea:
"The rewriting of one's life path—that's fate interference!"
"I'm not sure about Awakened Beings from other worlds, but in the Seven Seas Alliance—those writers who create novels or scripts, indeed possess such power."
Lindsay furrowed her brows and asked:
"If one can interfere with others' fates, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Or is this power strictly controlled for those in high positions?"
Wah Wah Wah shook her head slightly:
"Rewriting life scripts is no joke."
"Even just probing into others' lives will incur a tremendous cost."
"As for actually putting pen to paper and rewriting—even the most powerful Awakened Beings would struggle to resist fate's backlash."
Lindsay pressed further:
"How does this skill work?"
"Can the affected person sense it?"
Wah Wah Wah explained:
"Fate's changes are almost imperceptible unless a writer specifically compares the changes in your life script."
"And this power cannot arbitrarily distort one's will or thoughts."
"They guide people's actions through existing cause and effect relationships, creating the dramatic effects they desire."
Lindsay recalled a famous movie plot and asked:
"Is this how it works?"
"For example, a person living a normal life at home is supposed to have a mundane day. But when the writer's power intervenes, he might slip while cooking, causing the kitchen knife to fly out of his hand, and he falls to the ground, unable to dodge in time, ultimately killing himself."
Wah Wah Wah nodded vigorously:
"Exactly, you're quite accurate!"
The girl immediately asked:
"So, Lindsay, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
"It's impossible that you sensed someone rewriting your fate!"
Lindsay replied in a low voice:
"You know that my skill has some chaotic effects."
"Just now, I realized a fact."
"Anthony and Lina might be entangled in an unimaginable situation—their fates have been rewritten."
Wah Wah Wah's expression turned solemn:
"What has become of their fates?"
Lindsay asked in return:
"If we hadn't interfered, what do you think their fate would have been?"
"..."
Wah Wah Wah remained silent, but the girl's tightly clenched fist and angry gaze also conveyed to Lindsay that her rage was boiling!
