As soon as he finished drawing, the cloak started shining brightly, allowing him to see his surroundings.
The cloak was so bright that Joan and Qia couldnât even look at it straight.
"Itâs because this whole floor belongs to Predictor alone. And he likes staying in darkness for the most part," Joan explained.
"So he canât bear the light? Is that why he doesnât leave the facility?" Lucifer asked, wondering if this was the true reason behind him never leaving.
"Not really. He can stay in light too, since he canât actually see with his blindfold anyway. He often left this floor to go to other floors in the light."
"But when it comes to his own floor, he keeps it mostly dark. Probably because it makes it difficult for him to sleep," Joan explained.
"I think you should turn off that light when we get to his room. Itâs too blinding. He wouldnât even be able to see you with this thing on," Qia also suggested in the middle.
"Iâll turn it off when I get there," Lucifer agreed.
Even though he agreed to turn it off, he did wonder how he was going to see Predictor in such darkness.
âWait, those Sunglasses that Kane created. He placed a lot of tech in the glasses. Night vision should be there as well if Iâm not wrong. He made them to see through the walls and for having X-Ray. It would be stupid if thereâs no just vision.â
He brought the glasses out of his pocket and wore them.
Even though he was wearing sunglasses, he was able to see everything clearly as if he was wearing reading glasses. There was no shade of darkness that he experienced. Everything was just as bright.
"This is his room." Joan stopped in front of a door. "Shall I knock?"
"Go ahead," Lucifer let out, turning the light of his cloak off.
As soon as the cloak turned off, everything returned to darkness.
[Warning: Darkness Detected. Do you want to turn on the night vision?]
As soon as Lucifer turned off the cloak, the glasses activated as if noticing the unusual darkness.
Through the glasses, he was able to see a popup in front of his eyes.
âFancy feature. It senses the darkness in its own to suggest the next action,â Lucifer thought, amused.
"Turn it on," he commanded.
As soon as he commanded, the night vision of the glasses turned on. He was able to see everything clearly as if the place wasnât dark at all.
Joan knocked on the door.
"Who is it!" A voice came from inside.
"Itâs me, Joan! I brought Captain Lucifer who wanted to meet you?" Joan replied.
"Come inside."
Joan pushed the door open and stepped inside.
Lucifer stepped inside the room, which wasnât dark for him. He was able to see everything clearly.
He could see a massive bed in the room. A soft mattress was on the bed, on top of which lay a man.
The dark-haired man was lying on the bed, dressed in black.
A black blindfold was wrapped around his eyes.
The man slowly sat up, turning towards Lucifer.
"The new leader, I assume? You seem similar to how I saw you in my dreams," Predictor told Lucifer, looking right in his direction.
"Can you see through the blindfold?" Lucifer asked, feeling like Predictor was able to see him. How else was he looking directly towards him?
"I apologize, but I canât see anything. Iâve been blind since birth," Predictor replied, shaking his head.
"How did you know where I was standing?" Lucifer asked.
"All because of my ability," Predictor replied. "God took my eyes from me at birth, but he gave me the ability to see the world even without my eyes."
"Your second ability?" Lucifer asked, curious. He didnât really know about the other abilities of Predictor.
"Thatâs right. In my dreams, I can see the future and what it may become with my first ability. In real life, I can see through my other ability. Itâs not perfect though," Predictor explained.
"Anyway, Iâm sure you didnât come here to talk about my eyes. What brought you here?" he asked.
"Joan, Qia, you two wait outside for me. Donât forget to close the door," Lucifer commanded the two Warlocks who left the room and closed the door.
"You sent them away. I guess youâre really here to talk about something important. What is it? If I can help, Iâll do so," Prediction said, folding his arms.
"I came here to ask you about your dreams. I think itâs better if we talk face to face."
"What about my dreams?" Predictor asked.
"With your ability, can you see the events of the past? Or can you see events of the future only?" Lucifer asked, getting to the main topic.
He wanted to know if there was any risk of Predictor seeing what he did in the past.
"I can only see the future. I canât see the past," Predictor replied.
"How do your dreams work? Why is it that you had a dream about me? There are billions of people in the world. Why didnât you see their future? I want to know how your dreams are triggered?"
"Actually, even I donât know the answer to that question. I can only see the Prediction Dreams of things that might cause world changing events, related to people with whom my destiny is intertwined with," Predictor exclaimed.
"Are you saying that my Destiny is intertwined with yours?" Lucifer asked.
"Is it not? Iâm an Uprising member. Youâre the leader. Your destiny has always been intertwined with mine."
"Before your arrival, I had only seen dreams about Uprising members, but after the first time you entered this base, I saw three predictions related to you alone," Predictor explained.
"Like my first prediction, about the day when you killed those scientists. I saw how you all managed to get past the APF defenses."
"What was so world changing about that event? You said you only see special events that have the potential to change the world. What was so special about that day?" Lucifer asked.
"Donât you see it?" Predictor asked, smiling.
"That day, you not only took your revenge, but you also went against one of the APF captains. Thatâs also the day when your eyes were exposed before them. Donât you see how unique this event was?"
"It defined your future. After that day, APF became blood hungry for you, which wrote a new chapter about the hostility of you two, changing the destiny of Elisium and this whole world."
"Without that event, we might not even be in this situation, so it was actually a world changing event."
