"This way~This way~"

Kyushu Makoto followed the sound and found that it was a young woman who was setting up a divination stall waving to him.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with long hair with oblique bangs, a pale face with a bit of sickness, but a very elegant smile. The long black dress with bat-sleeves has a fine starlight pattern and long dark gloves in matte. There is a deep sense of mystery in the outfit and temperament, as if you are immersed in the deep sea, and you can't help but want to hold your breath.

"Young man, do you want to come and do a divination?" The young woman's voice was as soft as water, touching the crystal ball on the stall with one hand and playing with a few tarot cards with the other.

Is it a fortune teller? Kyushu thought sincerely.

In his previous life, he also knew a senior brother who was engaged in fortune telling, and he had also learned a few tricks of mind reading, so he knew more about this routine.

Out of politeness, Makoto Kyushu didn't ignore her, and stepped forward and asked, "How much do you count once?" ”

Makoto Kyushu has always loved experiencing new things. Anyway, I received a lot of wages today, and if the price offered by the other party is not high, I don't mind experiencing it once and seeing how the fortune tellers in Wano Country fool people.

"Six hundred yuan at a time~" As if she had found a fat sheep, the female soothsayer stared at Kyushu Cheng with blazing eyes, pursed her lips and chuckled:

"You are the first guest today, I can make an exception for you to experience a divination package worth 2,000 yuan~"

Feed... This sense of routine is too obvious, right? What is the special divination package of the gods, is there a package for such things as fortune telling?

Cheng Kyushu complained in his heart, but asked again: "What does this package include?" ”

"I can help you with a fortune divination for your recent life, and answer any questions you have, as long as I have a way to answer them~" The female soothsayer eagerly explained:

"Let's try it, my divination has always been very accurate~"

"Eh, let's try it." Since the other party said so, Kyushu Makoto simply slapped a five-hundred-yuan and one-hundred-yuan coin on the table.

Six hundred yen can go to a cheap restaurant for a light meal, but it's not a very high price, and Kyushu Makoto wants to play with her.

But he's always on the lookout. As soon as the female soothsayer said that he had a blood light disaster and sold him some "disaster amulet", "life-saving gem" or something like that, he immediately got up and left.

After Kyushu Cheng sat down, the female soothsayer took out a stack of tarot cards, and the ten fingers wearing dark gloves began to shuffle the cards.

"Speaking of which, what do you call a guest?" The female soothsayer asked casually in the process of cutting the cards.

Makoto Kyushu hooked the corners of his mouth and asked jokingly, "If you're a soothsayer, can't you guess my name?" ”

The soothsayer's eyes were stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.

"It's going to make things difficult for me, guest~" She slowly closed her eyes, looking like she was meditating:

"Hmm... To make the guests laugh, I'm not good at guessing other people's names... Well... Jiu... JiuJo... Kyu... KuZhou？ ”

The soothsayer muttered a bunch of strange pronunciations, and finally shook her head and gave up: "Sorry, I can't guess, please tell me directly." ”

Kyushu Cheng didn't tease her anymore, and reported his name and some basic personal information.

After all, those so-called "fortune telling" largely rely on "hot reading", that is, to fool guests in the case of knowing their basic information in advance.

If you don't give her any information, it is equivalent to limiting all her operating space.

"Makoto Kyushu... What a strange name. The first time I heard that someone with the surname Kyushu was from the island of Kyushu? The soothsayer sighed softly, and the shuffling in her hand stopped.

She picks six cards from the top of the pile, lines them up in a circle on the table, and draws another card and places it in the center.

"Is this tarot divination?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.

"Yes, it's what I do best." The female soothsayer nodded confidently and said with a smile: "Although I also know a little bit about yin and yang, I still prefer to use tarot cards. ”

In his previous life, Makoto Kyushu didn't know much about tarot cards, but he also knew some basics. For example, there are 22 big cards in the tarot, each with a unique interpretation of one's destiny, and it is also divided into "up" and "inverse".

"The six large Arcana cards around the array represent the fate of the guests in the near future." The soothsayer explained: "The Great Arcana card in the center of the array represents the state of the guest itself, which is the origin of your soul. ”

Kyushu Cheng felt that it was a little complicated, and he didn't understand too much, so he directly ordered: "Then let's start." ”

The soothsayer nodded lightly and opened the first card on the periphery.

"This one is the Fool." The card unveiled by the soothsayer shows a young man walking alone with a bag on his back:

"The Fool is a person who is not defined, and represents an adventure and a journey. Guest, you seem to have recently embarked on a new journey in life. ”

Being said like this, Kyushu Cheng really feels a little reasonable. After all, he has just crossed recently, and it may indeed represent a "new life".

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was probably just her crooked attack, which is the so-called "Banan effect". It's common for people to resonate with vague and general-purpose evaluations, thinking that they are talking about themselves.

Many fortune tellers will take advantage of this psychological effect, using the "one-size-fits-all" rhetoric to gain the trust of their guests.

"The second is the [Chariot]." The soothsayer unfolds the second card:

The reverse interpretation of "chariot" is "being treated violently", and the meaning of "delinquent youth" can also be derived. But I feel that you, guest, have conquered the chariot and transformed it into a positive position... Well... The Chariot of the Trinity is about to return to the right path, and this force will accompany you to overcome all obstacles. ”

"The third is the [Female Pope]." She opened the third card:

"[The Pope] represents wisdom, and possibly... Your teacher or something. But this [Female Pope] is a reverse card, maybe there is a wise person by your side, who should have been your mentor, but because of her short-sightedness and greed, it has caused obstacles in your life. ”

"The fourth is the Dharma King." She unfolded the fourth card:

"His Holiness represents aid and compassion. There may be a kind old gentleman by your side who is silently helping you, although he himself seems ashamed to admit it~"

"The fifth card is...[Love]~" She lifted the fifth card and raised her eyebrows, revealing an intriguing smile.

"Will I meet someone I was destined to meet recently?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.

"Guest, [love] does not mean a destined marriage." The soothsayer shook her head and explained meaningfully:

"[Love] means that you will have a wonderful encounter in the near future, and some people may have feelings for you for the first time. As for the object of [love], I can't feel it for the time being, so please pay attention to the female friends around you~"

"Eh..."Makoto Kyushu pinched his chin and thought about it, then shook his head helplessly.

After he crossed over to Tokyo, he didn't make any female friends at all. If you have to say it, it is estimated that there is only one Etori Tsukiko.

But after all, she is a nominal teacher, and she and herself should be in a state of mutual hatred, and it is absolutely impossible to be the object of [love].

"The sixth is... The reversed Queen! The soothsayer opened the last card of the outer circle, and her face was a little solemn:

"[The Queen] is arrogant, arbitrary, and treats everyone as pawns and tools. You may meet such a person in the near future and go toe-to-toe with you. Be careful, guest! ”

Makoto Kyushu listened carefully and nodded silently.

I have to say that the professionalism of this female soothsayer is quite high, and she is very honest, and Kyushu Cheng admires her a little.

But the senior brother once told him that fortune telling has always been a three-point guess and a seven-point compilation, so just listen to it.

"Next up is the middle card, right?" Makoto Kyushu pointed to the card in the center of the array, a little expectant.

Although he is not superstitious, after all, the money has been paid, and he is curious about which tarot card his "soul origin" represents.

"Hmm... It feels like it's going to be a very powerful card~" The female soothsayer pretended to be mysterious, smiled elegantly, and quickly turned over the card in the middle.

But when the cards were turned over, the female soothsayer's expression suddenly froze, and the whole person froze in place.

This "tarot card" is on a white background, without any pattern on it, only a glaring "medium" character written in blood-red pen and ink.

Compared to tarot cards, this card looks more like mahjong...

In red.

"That's... Miss Soothsayer..."Makoto Kyushu's face twitched a little, and he began to wonder if this Miss Soothsayer was deliberately trying to make him laugh:

"I don't know much, but this pattern shouldn't be a tarot card, right?"

"I know... This [Red Middle] is in a set of "Mahjong Solitaire", and I bought it because it is bundled with tarot cards. The soothsayer was so embarrassed that her face turned pale, and she murmured in a low voice:

"But how is it possible...how can [Red Medium] get mixed into my tarot cards?"

"Mahjong Solitaire" is a chess and card product that has become popular in Wano Country in recent years, that is, the pattern of mahjong is printed on the cards, and the selling points are "easy to carry" and "you can play without shuffling the table".

If you look closely, you can see that the back of this [Red in China] card and other tarot cards are printed with the same company logo, and the pattern and color are exactly the same, and it is difficult to detect if you accidentally confuse the deck.

However, it is too strange that a [Red Medium] suddenly pops up during the tarot card divination.

"Hmm... Bad! Am I wrong from beginning to end? The female soothsayer pinched the [Red Middle] and looked like she had a headache:

"Divination is very detail-oriented, and getting it wrong can set off a chain reaction that leads to everything wrong... It's not good, it's not good..."

Looking at the female soothsayer with a melancholy face, Kyushu Makoto couldn't help but laugh, and kindly persuaded:

"Divination is a very metaphysical thing. I think you're lying next time... It's better to check the props carefully when giving people divination. ”

"That's not right! Wrong! Suddenly, the female soothsayer seemed to realize something, and held Makoto Kyushu's hand hard.

Despite the layer of gloves, Makoto Kyushu felt that the other party's palm was very strange. Her hands felt hard to the touch, like metal rather than flesh. And there is a smooth spherical touch at the knuckles of the fingers, like a pair of puppet hands.

"Guest, perhaps... The origin of your soul is [Red Medium]! The female soothsayer looked at him seriously and said firmly: "I mistakenly shuffled [Red Middle] into the tarot cards, and I was able to draw it with a probability of twenty-three, this is no ordinary coincidence!" ”

"[Red in the Red] has nothing to do with the tarot card system, but it is cleverly mixed into the deck and takes the place of other cards... It may mean that you are carrying a destiny that is not yours and stepping into a journey that is not yours! Your future is foggy, vague, as if... In the midst of deception and lies... Dangerous... It's too dangerous..."

The female soothsayer was right, but Makoto Kyushu couldn't help frowning.

I have to say that this soothsayer is quite hard-mouthed. Obviously drew a mahjong tile from the tarot deck and made it look like a foreign one, but he wanted to say that this was a "revelation of fate" and forcibly interpreted a reason.

However, after such a major mistake, she can continue to fool people without blushing and heartbeat, which makes Kyushu Makoto begin to admire her on-the-spot adaptability.

After the female soothsayer finished speaking, her eyes became more and more intense and focused when she looked at Kyushu Cheng: "Guest, your fate is wonderful, it is the first time I have met someone like you!" If so, could you please leave your contact information? I hope to help you with divination again in a while! ”

Hey, this routine is too obvious!

Kyushu Chengqiang held back the desire to complain and sighed in his heart.

first deliberately said something alarmist, and then put a long line to catch a big fish, and made himself her long-term guest, until finally fell completely into lies and was squeezed out of her money... This female soothsayer is probably making this calculation.

Of course, Kyushu Cheng is reluctant to leave the phone, lest the other party really regard himself as a cash cow. For this reason, he changed the topic in a hurry:

"Speaking of which, your hands... Is it a prosthetic? ”

Referring to this topic, the female soothsayer subconsciously glanced at her hands and replied a little crampedly: "It's because of a work injury." ”

"I'm sorry, I accidentally poked your sore spot..."Kyushu Cheng pretended to be sincere and lowered his head, and praised again: "But you are very skilled in cutting cards just now, you must have practiced diligently for a long time, right?" ”

said polite words, but Kyushu Cheng planned to get up and leave quickly.

Although this female soothsayer is disabled, just because she is disabled does not mean that she will not be able to commit fraud and crime.

Today's 600 yuan divination experience is quite interesting, at least it makes him laugh. Besides, people also make hard money, so there is no need to tear your face and make things difficult for a disabled person. But if she wants to develop herself into a long-term fat sheep, Kyushu Makoto can't bear it.

"I have to go, and my mom is calling me home for dinner." Makoto Kyushu stood up and wanted to slip away with an excuse for having a mother out of nowhere: "See you next time!" ”

The next time I see her, I should pretend that I didn't see her.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, the female soothsayer grabbed Kyushu Cheng's sleeve and insisted:

"Your fate is peculiar and comes with great danger! Please make sure I give you another divination, I don't have to take any money! ”

As she spoke, the soothsayer took a pen and wrote two lines on the back of the [Red Medium] card, and then stuffed it into his hand.

Kyushu Cheng looked at the back of the card, and there was only one name and a string of phone numbers:

【Night Tour of the Heavenly Sound】

[Contact: 03-xxxx-xxxx]

"Night Tour... Miss? Kyushu Makoto awkwardly pronounced the other party's last name.

"Guest, let me give you one more piece of advice." Miss Night Tour pursed her lips and said solemnly:

"Your wheel of fortune tells me that the strength of human bonds may help you get through this."
