Is it really possible for someone to predict the future?

The man’s emotions were fluctuating wildly.

As a rational person and a staunch materialist, he couldn’t fathom how someone could predict the future based on current scientific theories.

But Zhushi Jiu’s performance from the beginning was unlike that of an ordinary university student. Instead, he seemed to be in control of everything, as if he had foreseen everything. Earlier, Zhushi Jiu even accurately stated his inner thoughts.

All rational thinking was lost in this moment.

“How about it, was I right?” Zhushi Jiu chuckled.

Although he couldn’t see, he could sense the man’s embarrassment. This was a wonderful piece of news for Zhushi Jiu, who had always been oppressed by this man.

The man was silent for a moment before speaking, “I don’t know what tricks you’re playing, but if you think I’ll easily believe you can predict the future, you’re wrong.”

Zhushi Jiu didn’t respond, maintaining a curious expression.

“I believe you, and I’m working for humanity’s future as well,” Zhushi Jiu said sincerely. “You’ll personally push humanity’s fate into the abyss, and I’m just trying to stop you.”

“Abyss?”

The man sneered, and a hint of ridicule finally appeared in his calm tone.

“Humanity is already in the abyss. We’re just barely surviving now.”

What’s this “abyss” business?

Zhushi Jiu was taken aback.

This was something the man hadn’t said last week.

He furrowed his brow and said, “Only pessimists think like that. It’s hard to imagine you’re facing tomorrow with such an attitude. I thought you’d be more confident in humanity’s victory.”

The man heard Zhushi Jiu’s words and felt a strange sensation rising again.

But he said, “What I said is fact. If you knew what the World Enemy was, you’d think the same way.”

“I won’t.”

“You’re very confident?”

“I have no reason not to be. After all, I’m a superpowered being.”

“…”

The man rotated Zhushi Jiu’s phone in his hand, closed his eyes, and thought for a moment before gently placing the phone on the table.

A familiar sound.

“Guess what this is.”

“You can’t see anything right now. If you guess correctly, I’ll remove your blindfold, and you can see what’s on the table. If you really can predict the future, you should be able to see this future.”

“So, give me an answer. If you’re right, I’ll believe your ‘superpower’.”

No change.

Zhushi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was initially worried that his changes this week would affect the test game, but it seemed not to have changed. He learned something new – a person’s thinking was indeed influenced by inertia, and the more convinced someone was, the more stubborn their thinking habits became. Even if they repeated the process a hundred times, this man’s decisions wouldn’t change.

“One chance?”

…” , a completely free online novel website…

“One chance.”

“Is the deadline tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.?”

“…”

The man suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Taking advantage of the man’s hesitation, Zhushi Jiu quickly said, “I guess it’s a phone.”

The man’s expression changed, a rare emotion appearing on his face. When Zhushi Jiu asked if there was only one chance, the man was thinking that Zhushi Jiu was adding unnecessary restrictions, which was exactly what he was thinking. But when Zhushi Jiu asked about the deadline, he acknowledged a momentary blank in his thinking.

“In the limited future I can predict, I saw a phone. Was I right?”

Zhushi Jiu tried to appear calm, but it was too enjoyable to suppress this calculating man, and his mouth involuntarily curled up into a smile.

The interrogation room fell silent, like a pin dropping.

…”

What’s going on? You’re not speaking? Announce the answer. You said that if I guessed correctly, you’d remove my blindfold.”

The man hesitated for a long time before speaking, “If… I said no?”

Zhushi Jiu was stunned.

“In the future you can predict, is there a scenario where you refuse to remove my blindfold?”

The man’s tone turned cold and hard. “You have no idea if I wanted to remove your blindfold from the start. To me, you’re an enemy. Do you think I’d give an enemy any opportunity? This test seems fair, but if I refuse to remove your blindfold, you won’t be able to see the phone on the table, and predicting the future itself is a logical contradiction.”

…”How did you see the future, then?”

Damn it! This guy was going to extremes!
