Chapter Seventy-Nine: Divination
Tang Yu arrived at Little Chinatown in Watson District by car, and slowly stopped in front of the "Misty Secrets" psychic house.
When the pedestrians passing by saw that it was a high-end car of Arasaka Company, they also turned their heads to avoid it, and they all accelerated their pace to leave, still avoiding the tiger and wolf.
On the contrary, it was a street dancer, quite interested in twisting her waist and casting an interesting gaze.
Especially when I saw that the person who got off the bus was a handsome young man, they were even more provocative.
A beautifully dressed dancer deliberately booed and whistled, and then smiled brightly: "Handsome guy, do you want to solve your physiological needs?" Up and down, it's up and down, it's the latest simulated tactile spiral prosthetic. ”
After Tang Yu got out of the car, he buttoned the first button of his blazer.
He has a good impression of street dancers, even more than his colleagues in Arasaka's company, at least the dancers clearly mark the price and only want money, and the dogs in the company have a deep appetite.
"Excuse me, help me watch the gossip guy."
Tang Yu refers to the fact that in the corner of the dark alley on the side of the street not far away, there is a flower maniac who is chanting the apocalypse of aliens.
Prophet Gary.
He's a good Samaritan, but it doesn't end well.
Tang Yu once deliberately investigated the aliens and lizardmen that the prophet Gary said.
Later, it turned out to be the Vortex Gang and the Night Company.
He speculated that the reason why Gary was able to tell a lot of secrets about the upper echelons of Night City was because he inadvertently connected to the secret communication signals of the upper echelons after his brain prosthetic body was modified, and the secrets were very deep.
Because the signal was too complex and chaotic, Gary couldn't distinguish between reality and fiction, and his cranial nerves were damaged, so he could only express himself in gibberish.
In the end, he was discovered by the company's people and dragged away and killed.
As for the secret in Gary's mouth, Tang Yu actually knew seven, seven, eight, eight.
So let the street dancer stare at it for a while, and if there is a new movement, he should prepare in advance.
Tang Yu gave the street dancer some tips, and then walked towards the divination house.
A huge tip made the street dancer stunned in place, and then ecstatic for a long time.
She confirmed the tip amount again, and muttered: "It seems that the company dog is not so bad, at least it is generous, oh no, it should be only the handsome guy just now, and the rich man is really the most attractive." ”
"Oh yes, what did the handsome guy ask me to do just now?"
"Alas, my stupid brain, my memory is getting worse and worse."
When she saw Gary Hanako, who was still talking crazy, she remembered it instantly.
"Come to think of it, let me stare at that madman, this job is much easier than giving people, what a beautiful day!"
Tang Yu pushed open the glass door and walked to the divination hut.
The screen door pavilion, table and seat are all wooden furnishings, which are a bit antique.
Several candles are divided into floors and tabletops, lighting a faint halo and adding a hint of warmth.
Some old ceramics, colorful skulls and other spiritual items are scattered and scattered.
Misty was standing behind the counter, adding three sticks of sandalwood to the incense burner, and a wisp of smoke quietly rose and dissipated under the electronic blue neon light.
And in the back hall, a mysterious altar is erected, enshrined with a four-armed statue.
One left and one right, one blue and one red, extremely mysterious.
Tang Yu was familiar with the road, moved a wooden stool and sat in front of the counter, and greeted Misty.
"Misty, what are you up to?"
Only then did Misty notice that Tang Yu was coming, and gently put the incense burner away, and her tone was still so soft.
"Tang, why are you here, looking for Lao Wei?"
As he spoke, he deliberately looked outside the door, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Tang Yu knew that she was wondering why Jack didn't come, so he explained.
"I'm here to find Lao Wei, I have other things to do today, and I didn't ask Jack to come along."
"Why, this kid, if I don't call him, he won't take the initiative to come, right, I'll educate him well when I go back."
Misty retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "No, no, Jack is diligent, I am a little annoyed with him, delaying my business." ”
Tang Yu saw that Misty said that he didn't want Jack on the surface, and he wished that he was tired of Jack every day.
Today is the day Mann has his implant surgery, and Old Wei sends a message that the military-grade Sianweistein has been cleaned up.
Mann's side should be over when the party in the small square is over.
Before that, he wanted to ask Misty to do a divination about the future.
Once upon a time, the spiritual revelations brought about by Misty divination were very crucial and important, and even revealed the future direction to a large extent.
That divination and the direction that the card pointed to became the guide for Tang Yu's final burning of Night City.
And he has seen hints of different tarot cards on various occasions.
Tang Yu believed and affirmed that Misti, who had not undergone any prosthetic transformation, possessed the innate spiritual intuition of human beings.
Misty values human wholeness, both physically and mentally.
Her philosophy of life and spiritual strength are far beyond imagination.
Tang Yu is also in the original state now, and the human consciousness and senses are at their peak, and it stands to reason that he is rich in spiritual energy and can better divinate the future.
Tang Yu couldn't predict whether he would have a prosthetic implant in the future, after all, when a powerful danger was approaching, implanting a high-level combat prosthesis was the fastest way to improve his strength.
If that moment really comes, he will definitely not hesitate in the slightest.
Lose the original body and lose a lot, lose them and lose everything.
He really wanted to see where he would go in his first life!
Tang Yu looked solemn and said seriously: "Misty, in fact, I have a particularly important matter for you. ”
Seeing that he was so serious, Misty also put away his mentality, and asked with a little doubt: "What's the matter?" As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you. ”
Tang Yu stretched out his hand and pressed on the set of tarot cards on the table, the tarot cards that had divined for him in his previous life, and said.
"I want to complete a life divination."
Misty was surprised.
At this time, Tang Yu, no matter how he looked at it, his life was going smoothly, and he didn't look like he needed spiritual guidance at all.
But she has always been cautious and careful, and she did not arbitrarily deny it, but nodded in agreement.
"Yes, maybe this is the best time for you to divination."
"I have always believed that the spiritual energy of the original body is complete and complete, and the results of divination will be more meaningful."
"But please understand that divination is not an accurate prediction of the future, but a guide on how to make choices that are in line with your heart."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, he knew all this.
So, Misty picked up the tarot deck on the table.
This tarot card was given by Jack and has been carefully maintained by Misti and is full of spirit and energy.
A good spiritual soothsayer will always maintain a close spiritual connection with the tarot cards.
For example, when you wake up in the morning, you will draw a sign to prove the change of heart today. (Note 1)
Over time, the soothsayer will be able to strengthen his understanding and perception of the cards until some invisible spiritual connection is formed.
Misty made mysterious gestures to the tarot cards, as if to cleanse the tarot cards of cluttered spirituality.
After finishing, she gently placed the tarot cards in the palms of Tang Yu's hands with both hands and said.
"Follow your first instinct and draw your first card, which will mean your present."
Tang Yu looked at the deck in his hand and seemed to have a light to draw out the first tarot card on the deck. (Note 2)
He believes that this is a new beginning, and it should start with the first one.
