Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 17 17. The Tarot Cards of Destiny and Miss Fortune Teller
"This way~ here~"

Jiuzhou Cheng followed the sound and found that it was a young woman with a fortune telling booth waving to him.

The woman looked to be in her early 20s, with long hair that slanted bangs, her pale face looked sickly, but her smile was elegant.A black gown with dolman sleeves has a tiny starburst pattern, and she wears long matte dark gloves.Both the attire and temperament reveal a deep sense of mystery, like being intoxicated in the deep sea, which makes people want to hold their breath.

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

Is it for fortune-telling?Kyushu sincerely thought.

In his previous life, he also knew a senior brother who was engaged in fortune-telling, and he also learned a few tricks of mind reading, so he has a better understanding of the routines in this area.

Out of politeness, Jiuzhou Cheng didn't ignore her, and stepped forward and asked, "How much is your calculation here?"

Kyushu Makoto has always liked to experience new things.Anyway, I got a lot of salary today. If the price offered by the other party is not high, I don’t mind experiencing it once to see 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 fortune-teller stared at Jiuzhou Cheng with fiery eyes, and smiled softly:

"You are the first guest today, I can make an exception and let you experience a fortune-telling package worth 2000 yuan~"

Hey. Isn't this sense of routine too obvious?What the hell is the divination package? Is there a package for fortune-telling?
Jiuzhou Cheng complained in his heart, but asked again: "What does this package include?"

"I can help you with a fortune-telling in the near future, and answer any questions you may have, as long as I have a way to answer~" the female fortune-teller explained eagerly:
"Come and try, my divination has always been very accurate~"

"Hey, let's try it." Since the other party said so, Jiuzhou Cheng simply patted a coin of [-] yuan and [-] yuan on the table.

Six hundred yen can go to a cheap restaurant to have a light meal, but it is not a very high price, Kyushu Makoto also wants to play with her.

But he is always on guard.Once the female fortune-teller told him that he was in a bloody disaster and sold him something like a "disaster prevention talisman" or a "life-saving gem", he immediately got up and left.

After Kyushu Cheng sat down, the female fortune teller took out a stack of tarot cards, and began to shuffle the cards with her ten fingers wearing dark gloves. The speed of cutting cards was fast and slow, and her technique was extremely flexible.

"Speaking of which, what's the name of the guest?" The female fortune teller casually asked during the card cutting process.

Jiuzhou Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and asked jokingly: "You are a fortune teller, can't you guess my name?"

The female fortune teller's eyes froze for a moment, but soon recovered the tranquility just now.

"It's really going to make things difficult for me, guest~" She slowly closed her eyes, seeming to be meditating:

"Hmm, I made the guests laugh. I'm not good at guessing other people's names. Hmm. JiuJiuJoKyuKuZhou?"

The female fortune-teller murmured a bunch of strange pronunciations, and finally shook her head and gave up: "Sorry, I can't guess, please tell me directly."

Jiuzhou Cheng stopped teasing her, and reported his name and some basic personal information.

After all, those so-called "divination and fortune-telling" largely rely on the "hot reading technique", that is, to fool them when they know the basic information of the guests in advance.

If you don't give her any information, it's tantamount to restricting all her operating space.

"Jiuzhou is such a strange name. This is the first time I've heard of someone with the surname Jiuzhou. Is it from Jiuzhou Island?" the female fortune-teller sighed softly, and stopped shuffling the cards in her hands.

She picks six cards from the top of the pile, arranges them in a circle on the table, and draws another card to place in the center.

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

"Yes, this is the divination I am best at." The female fortune-teller nodded confidently and said with a smile: "Although I also know a little bit of Yin-Yang, I still prefer to use Tarot cards."

Jiuzhou Cheng didn't know much about Tarot cards in his previous life, but he also knew some basics.For example, there are 22 big cards in the Tarot, and each card has a unique interpretation of the fate of life, and it is also divided into "upright" and "reversed".

"The six major arcana cards around the array represent the guests' recent fate." The female fortune-teller explained: "The major arcana card in the center of the array represents the state of the guests themselves, that is, your The source of the soul."

Jiuzhou Cheng felt that it was a bit complicated, and he didn't understand it well, so he directly ordered: "Then let's start."

The female fortune teller nodded slightly, and opened the first card on the outside.

"This one is [The Fool]." On the card that the female fortune-teller uncovered was a picture of a young man walking alone with a bag on his back:

"[The Fool] is a person who is not defined, and it represents embarking on an adventure and a journey. Guest, you seem to have ushered in a new life journey recently."

Being said so, Kyushu Makoto really thinks it makes sense.After all, he just traveled through time recently, perhaps it does represent a "new life".

But when he thought about it again, he felt that this was probably just her playing the wrong way, which is the so-called "Banan effect".It is common for people to resonate with ambiguous and broadly generic evaluations, thinking that these evaluations are talking about themselves.

For example, if a fortune teller says "you will have a new journey in life", different customers may think of different situations such as "entering a higher school", "finding a new job", and "moving".These situations are all forcibly interpreted by them based on their actual experience, and the fortune teller just said an ambiguous sentence.

Many fortune tellers will make good use of this psychological effect and use the words "applicable to everyone" to win the trust of customers.

"The second card is [Chariot]." The female fortune teller opened the second card:

“The reverse interpretation of [Chariot] is "being treated violently", and it can also derive the meaning of "bad boy".But I feel that you have conquered the [Chariot] and turned it into a proper... um... The Trinity Chariot is about to go back on the right track, and this power will accompany you and overcome obstacles for you. "

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

"The [Female Pope] represents wisdom, and may represent...your teacher or something. But this [Female Pope] is a reversed card. Maybe there is a smart person by your side, and she should have been your teacher. But because of short-sightedness and greed, it has actually hindered your life."

"The fourth card is 【Dharma King】." She opened the fourth card:

"[Dharma King] represents assistance and sympathy. There may be a kind old gentleman beside you who is silently helping you, although he seems ashamed to admit it~"

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

"Will I meet someone who is destined for me recently?" Makoto Kyushu asked curiously.

"Guest, [love] does not represent a predestined marriage." The female fortune teller shook her head and explained meaningfully:
"[Love] means that you will have a wonderful encounter in the near future. Maybe someone will start to fall in love with you. As for the object of [Love], I can't feel it yet. Please pay attention to the female friends around you~ "

"Hey" Jiuzhou Cheng pinched his chin and thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

After he traveled to Tokyo, he didn't make any female friends at all.If I have to say it, I guess there is only Jiang Niao Rang Noriko.

But she is a teacher in name after all, and she and I should be in a state of mutual hatred, so it is absolutely impossible for her to be the object of "love".

"The sixth card is the reversed [Queen]!" The female fortune-teller opened the last card on the outer circle, her expression a bit dignified:
“[The Queen] is extremely arrogant, arbitrary, and treats everyone as pawns and tools. You may encounter such a person in the near future, who will fight you tit for tat. Please be careful, guest!”

Kyushu listened carefully and nodded silently.

I have to say that this female fortune teller is quite professional, and she speaks clearly and logically, even Jiuzhou Cheng admires her a little.

But the brother once told him that divination and fortune-telling have always been three-point guessing and seven-point guessing, so just listen to it and have fun.

"Next is the card in the middle, right?" Makoto Kyushu pointed to the card in the center of the array, looking forward to it.

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

"Well, I think it will be a very powerful card~" The female fortune-teller pretended to be mysterious, smiled gracefully, and quickly flipped through the middle card.

But when the cards were turned over, the female fortune teller's expression suddenly froze, and she froze in place.

This "Tarot Card" is on a white background, without any pattern on it, only a dazzling "Zhong" written in blood-red pen and ink.

This card looks more like a mahjong game than a tarot card...

in red.

"That. Ms. Fortune Teller." Makoto Jiuzhou's face twitched a little, and he began to wonder if the Miss Fortune Teller was trying to make him laugh on purpose:
"Although I don't quite understand it, 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 was bundled with Tarot cards. The female fortune teller was extremely embarrassed, her face turned pale, and she murmured in a low voice:
"But how is it possible that [Red Middle] got 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 mahjong pattern is printed on the playing cards. The selling points are "easy to carry around" and "playable without shuffling the table".

If you take a closer look, you can see that the same company logo is printed on the back of this [Red Middle] card and other tarot cards. The pattern and color are exactly the same, and it is difficult to detect if the deck is accidentally mixed up.

However, it would be too strange for a [Red Middle] to pop up suddenly during Tarot divination.

"Hmm... Not good! Could it be that my divination is wrong from the beginning to the end?" The female fortune-teller pinched the [Red Middle], looking very headache:
"Divination pays great attention to details, and if one mistake is made, it will trigger a chain reaction, causing the whole thing to be wrong, which is not good, not good."

Looking at the melancholy female fortune-teller, Makoto Jiuzhou tried not to laugh, and kindly persuaded:

"Divination is a very metaphysical thing. I think it's better to check the props carefully the next time you cheat someone into divination."

"No! No!" Suddenly, the female fortune-teller seemed to realize something, and firmly held Jiuzhou Cheng's hand.

Although separated by a layer of gloves, Kyushu Makoto felt that the opponent's palm was weird.Her hands felt hard, like metal rather than flesh.And there is a smooth spherical touch at the finger joints, like the hands of a pair of puppets.

"Guest, maybe the source of your soul is [Red Middle]!" The female fortune-teller looked at him seriously, and said firmly: "I mistakenly shuffled [Red Middle] into the Tarot cards, and I can use one in 23 The probability of being drawn, this is by no means an ordinary coincidence!"

“[Red Middle] has nothing to do with the Tarot card system, but it has subtly mixed into the deck and replaced other cards... This may mean that you are carrying a fate that does not belong to you, and stepping into a world that does not belong to you. Your journey! Your future is shrouded in mist, blurred, as if...in deceit and lies...dangerous...too dangerous..."

The female fortune-teller spoke eloquently, but Jiuzhou Cheng couldn't help frowning.

I have to say that this fortune teller is quite stubborn.He obviously drew a mahjong tile from the tarot deck and made a fool of himself, but insisted that it 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 Jiuzhou Cheng start to admire her on-the-spot adaptability.

After the female fortune teller finished speaking, she looked at Jiuzhou Cheng with more intense and focused eyes: "Guest, your fate is very wonderful, this is the first time I have met someone like you! If possible, can you please leave your contact information ? I hope to help you divination again after a while!"

Hey, this trick is too obvious!
Jiuzhou Cheng resisted the desire to complain, and sighed secretly.

First deliberately say some alarmist words, and then put a long line to catch big fish, let yourself become her long-term customer, until finally completely fell into the lie, and was squeezed out of money by her... This female fortune-teller is probably planning for this.

Of course, Jiuzhoucheng was unwilling to leave a phone number, lest the other party really regard himself as a cash cow.For this reason, he hastily changed the topic:
"Speaking of which, your hand... is it a prosthetic?"

When this topic was mentioned, the female fortune teller subconsciously glanced at her hands, and replied a little awkwardly: "It's because of a work-related injury."

"Sorry, I accidentally poked your sore spot." Makoto Kyushu lowered his head pretending to be sincere, and praised again: "But you are very skilled in cutting cards just now, you must have practiced hard for a long time, right?"

While saying polite words, Jiuzhou Cheng planned to get up and leave quickly.

Although this female fortune teller is disabled, being disabled does not mean that she will not cheat and commit crimes.

Today's 600 yuan divination experience is quite interesting, at least it made him laugh.Besides, they are earning hard money, so there is no need to make things difficult for a disabled person.But if she wants to develop herself into a long-term fat sheep, Jiuzhou Cheng can't bear it.

"I have to go, my mother told me to go home for dinner." Jiuzhou Cheng stood up, looking for an excuse to give birth to his mother and wanted to slip away: "See you next time!"

Next time you see her, just pretend you didn't see her.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, the female fortune teller grabbed Jiuzhou Cheng's sleeve and insisted:

"Your fate is very strange, and it is also accompanied by great danger! Please let me divination for you again, I don't charge any money!"

As she said that, the female fortune teller picked up a pen and wrote two lines on the back of the [Red Middle] card, and then stuffed it into his hand.

Jiuzhou Cheng looked at the back of the card, and there was only one name and a series of phone numbers:
【Night Tour Tianyin】

【Contact information: 03-xxxx-xxxx】

"Miss Yeyou...?" Jiuzhou Cheng said the other party's last name awkwardly.

"Guest, let me give you another piece of advice." Miss Ye You pursed her lips and said seriously:

"Your wheel of fortune tells me that the strength formed by the bonds between people may help you tide over the difficulties."

　I have something to do today, so I will add a chapter of [-] words.
