"The shadow that shrouds my fate...is darker than the many events that have occurred to those around me..." Mazao recited these words.
"Although you have a 'magnetism' that frequently attracts strange things, your fate is occupied by this enormous shadow of the strange, so other strange things cannot easily bypass it to threaten you directly," Gua Tianshi said. "From your perspective, this giant dark shadow is like a prison without doors or windows.
"It both imprisons you, attempting to strip away your freedom, and protects you, isolating you from numerous external dangers.
"I trust you've already figured out who I'm referring to, haven't you?"
Mazao finally appeared enlightened, turning her head to look at me.
And I understood Gua Tianshi's implication even quicker than she did.
—It's me.
The giant shadow that Gua Tianshi spoke of, which shrouds Mazao's fate, refers to me.
