chapter.4 Stars and Towers(1/2)

"It doesn't matter if the 'Fool' can't do it, the 'World' won't let you choose... Why are you so stingy?"

Alice complained angrily.

Klein thought with a dull expression for less than half a second, and then a complete deck of Tarot cards appeared on the long table, and then he pulled out "The Fool", "Justice", "The Hanged Man" and other already selected cards from it.

noodle.

"You can choose from here, or you can just draw one."

It's all her fault that she didn't follow the routine and entered the gray mist, causing him to lose the opportunity to call himself "The Fool" in front of her. He also failed to show his absolute control as the master of this mysterious space, and fell into such a passive position now.

situation……

While lamenting silently, he watched her take the stack of tarot cards and start shuffling them, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:

If Alice was given a divination here, in this space above the gray fog, and she cut and shuffled the cards with her own hands, what would be the result?

Although Tarot cards are only a divination tool "invented" by Emperor Russell, the images and symbols of divination come from the interaction between one's own spirituality and the spiritual world, and from high-level mysterious revelations.

Since other people's divination can't get results that point to Alice, and even Mr. Azik can only see that her fate is shrouded in nothingness, then perhaps only she can do this and clear away the fog shrouding her destiny.

After receiving the revelation, the "divination expert" sitting next to her can interpret the image!

Well... although I have been promoted to "Joker" and technically no longer a "divineer", my level of divination has improved compared to before, and trivial matters such as interpreting images are not a problem at all!

With his heart beating, Klein called out to the girl standing beside him, and put the few cards that had been taken away back into the stack of Tarot:

"Alice, do you want to try divination and tarot divination? As a fortune teller, I guarantee that it will be very accurate."

As he spoke, he gave his thoughts and made a slightly shorter chair appear next to his "Fool" seat to facilitate the subsequent divination process.

"Tarot divination?" Alice glanced at him sideways, her tone full of suspicion, "When doing tarot divination, you must be clear about the questions you are asking... But I am not currently facing anything that requires divination to make a decision.

problem."

...You know your stuff! But I am a real expert in this area.

Klein motioned for her to sit down, and then proposed the most classic card array, with three tarot cards arranged from left to right, symbolizing "past", "present" and "future" respectively, to illustrate the phenomenon.

"...You are so enthusiastic and proactive, you are actually just curious about my future and destiny."

In the face of Alice's hum, he straightened his expression, and seriously and seriously elaborated on his thoughts on future revelations, his awe, caution, and helplessness as an Extraordinary of the "Soothsayer" path.

"Although divination itself is not a means to solve problems, it is a good way to clarify directions and choices. I think..."

After hesitating for less than half a second, Klein stated the conclusion he had drawn from his observations:

"You don't need to deliberately avoid contact with divination. You know, I often use this method to confirm safety, and you yourself have also used divination to find hotels..."

At the end of his gradually lighter words, Alice let out a weak sigh.

"I just don't want to see the fate that has been decided long ago...the past, present and future, right?"

She shook her head slightly, shuffling the complete Tarot deck without slowing down her hands, then cut the cards and placed the three cards with their backs facing up in order from left to right.

"Destined to have a predetermined ending?"

Klein was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl reaching out and holding down the card on the far left, which represented the past. She turned it over and whispered softly:

"demon."

The "devil" in the upright position is turned upside down, holding chains in his hands, stepping on sulfur fire, and the horns on his head are curved and ferocious.

After uncovering the tarot card symbolizing the past, Alice skipped over the "present" position and pointed her two fingers at the edge of the rightmost card.

"Death, or... a reversed world."

With her pronouncement like a judgment, the "world" that should have represented perfection and achievement appeared in a reversed pattern on the ancient mottled long table, before their eyes.

It was the first time that he saw the querent actually predicting the divination symbol. Klein opened his mouth and subconsciously asked:

"Did you remember the position of each card when you shuffled it?"

"You think I'm that boring?"

Alice turned her head and glanced at him. She no longer opened the tarot card and placed it in the middle to symbolize the current tarot card. Instead, she folded her hands and pressed her chin, and murmured in a vague voice that was almost nasal:

"The so-called fatalism is an inevitable outcome that cannot be escaped or avoided... I hate this theory, and I hate those sages who regard prophecy as more important than the process, and even more hate making choices that follow fate, so

——”

"So..." Klein unconsciously looked at the face-up tarot card, secretly guessing what the revelation that symbolized her now would be.

"So, I will choose a code name from these cards that have nothing to do with my own destiny or revelation."

Looking past the tarot card that had never been turned over, she randomly pulled out a card from the two piles of cards after cutting it, sandwiched it between her two fingers, and kept her back facing her. She turned to look at Ke

Ryan.

"Come on, Mr. Fool, tell me what I chose."

Knocking twice on the long table, Klein retracted those charming thoughts and nodded slightly in a calm and calm tone:

"Welcome to join. From now on, you are a member of the Tarot Society, Miss Lover."

"'Lovers'... the lovers of the Tarot Club?" She repeated in a low voice, and suddenly chuckled, "It sounds like a public lover. I haven't tried this route yet, maybe it's quite interesting.

.”

...The lover of the Tarot Society? Does this witch mean to harm his members?

Probably because the calmness and confidence of being a "Fool" surged in his chest, Klein took up the topic in a natural tone:

"Don't forget what we said. Before you became a member of the Tarot Club, you were observed and developed by my beloved...a high-sequence extraordinary person who has a desire for the 'Fool'. Even if you want to establish

In a 'lovers' relationship, my beloved should be at the top of the list."

"Your Beloved..." Alice put down the tarot cards in her hand, stood up and approached the high-backed chair belonging to the "Fool", the master of the Tarot Society, and smiled and reached out to touch the armrest of the seat, "

I know that Mr. Fool's favored one, that one with a particularly delicious smell, tastes almost as sweet and delicious as Mr. Fool..."

"Stop, stop! You're like this..." Isn't it too disrespectful to this mysterious and powerful person like me?

Before she finished speaking, the illusory figure belonging to the "lover" took a few steps back. Just like every time the play and prank ended, she would return to a nonchalant attitude, and the smile on her face must be filled with a sense of satisfaction.

.

"Then, Mr. Fool, I can choose my seat at will, right?"

After cautiously letting the already chosen seat glow with a faint red light, Klein nodded wordlessly, watched her choose an empty seat near the middle of the long table, and then watched her Shi Shiran sit down.

"Then don't forget that there is a regular meeting every Monday at three o'clock in the afternoon, and don't forget the requirements and conditions you promised me."

Seeing her nodding obediently, Klein suppressed the fatigue of spiritual consumption, cut off the power to maintain the connection between the stars, and saw the figure belonging to Alice swaying like a candle in the wind.

"It's very late. Remember to go to bed early. We'll see you tomorrow morning."

He heard her add a series of long sentences before her hazy and illusory body gradually faded away and disappeared into nothingness.

meet tomorrow……

"The Fool" Klein silently rubbed his aching temples and sighed with a particularly complicated mood.

Forget it, let's take a look at the "now" that Alice divined.

With this thought in mind, he stood up and left his seat, and was about to open the face-up Tarot between "Devil" and "World".

The moment his fingers touched the cards, Klein felt something strange.

The "now" placed in the center of the card array is actually symbolized by two overlapping tarot cards!

It is impossible for Alice to make such a stupid mistake, so there is only one possibility left - the divination fails, and she does not hope to get the "now" revelation from the divination.

...No, maybe this is what she asked during the divination.

It has nothing to do with the card formation. The "now" she asked about was the interpretation. Otherwise, why would she choose a code name from those tarot cards that did not symbolize her own destiny.

Klein flipped his wrist and spread the two overlapping tarot cards side by side, placing them on the ancient bronze table.

Those are two cards with upright positions but completely opposite meanings.

"Tower" and "Star".

The "tower" symbolizes danger, adversity and destruction.

The "star" symbolizes enlightenment, guidance and hope.

…………

The next morning, Alice sat at the dining table with bread, rose tea, and black honey cakes, and saw her cohabitant who looked slightly tired and listless.

"Mr. Fool, good morning...well, you don't seem to have slept well."

She blinked and turned her head slightly in confusion.

"I remember we agreed not to call me that in real life."

Taking a deep breath in the fragrance of rose black tea that seemed to have a smoky smell, Klein let out a long sigh of relief, opened the seat opposite the girl and sat down, no longer hiding his tiredness.

"I forgot to ask you something important yesterday, and I almost lost sleep all night..." He first poured himself a cup of stomach-warming tea to moisten his throat, and then looked at Ai Li, who was smiling silently, sadly and sadly.

Si, "Did you let your bird...the familiar named Eve go to the bank to withdraw money last night?"

"Well, that's right. Is there any problem?" As she spoke, she seemed to realize something. She made a soft sound in her mouth and put the silver-plated teacup back on the saucer. "Do you think you should let the messenger
