Chapter 617 Tarot Divination
Jack stopped wandering, sighed and said, "We were carrying out a dangerous commission, but we were discovered by the enemy, who then blocked us at the door."
"I thought I was doomed, but Ghost stood up and gave us hope of escape. However, the enemy also had experts, and Ghost was no match for them."
"With Ghost's strength, he could have escaped alone, but he did not choose to escape alone. The enemy even extended an olive branch to Ghost."
"However, in the face of the enemy's invitation, he stood firmly on our side. Perhaps his firmness angered the enemy, and he was stabbed with a knife. He is a real tough guy."
As Jack was talking, he couldn't continue. The opponent was obviously the strongest among the three of them, but the two of them were not injured , while the strongest one was seriously injured.
“…This actually happened.”
After listening to Jack's simple story, Misty couldn't help but be moved. She didn't expect that the man with cold prosthetics all over his body could be so soft-hearted.
The other party, like Lao Wei, is a person who sticks to his own moral principles, and it is this kind of people that she admires the most.
"That's enough, Jack. I'm a little embarrassed by what you said."
Xia Yu said this somewhat embarrassedly as he slowly walked out of the stairwell.
He also heard what Jack said just now, which made his suppressed conscience begin to ache again. The other party treated him so sincerely, but he actually teamed up with his employees to act and deceive the other party.
However, Xia Yu immediately recalled Jack's ending in the game, and his conscience instantly stopped hurting. Jack in the game died quite miserably, and he was changing the other party's fate.
As long as one joins his company, he will be protected and will have no problem surviving to the end.
In addition to Jack, the same is true for V. The main plot of the entire game is that V tries every means to survive. In doing so, he changes his fate and saves two people.
As long as you don't watch the process, there will be no problem as long as the ending is a happy one.
Besides, if he told the truth, would these people believe him? He had gone to so much trouble to save them, so was there anything wrong with him playing around in the process?
no problem!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu's conscience immediately stopped hurting. It was just that handsome Jack acted too quickly, otherwise he could have continued acting for a while.
Maybe the show can be made into a big movie, and when Night City is renovated, it can be released as a celebratory film.
"Ghost, are you okay?!"
Seeing that Xia Yu seemed to have recovered, Jack immediately ran over with a happy look on his face and gave Xia Yu a big hug.
As expected of Lao Wei, he was able to heal such a serious injury so quickly.
Because he didn't see the repair process, Jack didn't know that Lao Wei only provided tools for the repair and even just watched from the side.
"Ahem, that's enough. I can't breathe because of you hugging me like that."
Xia Yu patted Jack's back hard. Feeling Xia Yu's struggle, Jack let go and smiled embarrassedly.
"Sorry, sorry, I was so excited, I thought you..."
"What did you think? Did you think I was dead?"
Xia Yu said unhappily that even though he was a bit exaggerated just now, it was really not a good feeling to be hugged by a grown man.
If it was V, it would be fine, after all, the V here is a female V, not a male V.
Unfortunately, V was not as enthusiastic as Jack. He just came over and punched him lightly: "I'm glad you're okay. I owe you a favor this time."
"Don't want to hug me?"
Since V doesn't take the initiative, he will take the initiative.
But V was obviously not as dumb as Jack. She rolled her eyes and snorted, "You wish. Not everyone can enjoy my hug."
"Then you can at least tell me your real name. Although it's okay to be called V, this should just be the abbreviation of your name or a nickname."
After hearing this, V thought about it and realized that Xia Yu seemed to be the only one present who didn't know her real name. Jack and Misty were old acquaintances and had known it for a long time.
Thinking of this, V said as if he didn't care: "My name is Valerie, but only people who are very familiar with me know this, so don't call me that casually."
"learn."
Achievement, V's real name.
Xia Yu silently created an achievement for himself in his mind. If this happened in a game, he would definitely get such an achievement.
"Since you know my real name, let me see your face too."
V suddenly approached Xia Yu, stared at his mask and said, "We have lived and died together, but until now I still don't know what you look like. You can't have been transformed so much that you even took off your face."
Seeing V suddenly approaching, Xia Yu couldn't help but take a step back.
"…Can I refuse?"
"Sorry, no."
“…”
"Oh well."
Anyway, there was nothing to hide about this face. Xia Yu tapped the mask and suddenly found Jack approaching silently. Even Misty, who met for the first time, couldn't help but secretly glance over here.
But as if she noticed his gaze, Misty turned her head away like a thief.
“…”
Is the hidden face really that attractive? If this happened in anime, it would never be shown in a positive light, and the face would only be reflected through the expressions of the viewers.
Xia Yu, who was a little speechless, opened the mask completely, revealing the ordinary face of the Ghost Walker.
"You kid, I didn't expect you to be so good looking!"
Looking at the face beneath the mask, V raised an eyebrow and whistled teasingly.
"Hmm... So this is what she looks like. A little different from what I imagined." Jack also looked her up and down and gave his evaluation.
"So what was your original imagination like?"
Xia Yu put the mask back on and asked casually. After hearing this question, Jack thought for a moment and replied.
"It's covered with cuts and scars, or it's a disfigured face, otherwise why do you keep wearing a mask?"
"…Because this is not a mask, this is a tactical eyepiece."
After putting the mask back on, Xia Yu turned his head abruptly and made eye contact with the woman who was peeking at him.
Misty: “…”
"Well, I didn't peek. I was just a little curious about what you were doing."
It would be better not to explain this.
"You know how to tell fortunes, don't you? Why don't you just tell me what I look like?"
Xia Yu walked forward, picked up the tarot cards on Misty's divination table and waved them.
It turns out that mysticism will always be pursued by people no matter what era it is. It is already 2076, and these things still have a market.
"What do you think divination is, something that can do everything?"
Misty rolled her eyes, took the tarot cards that Xia Yu handed over, and started shuffling them.
"If divination is really so omnipotent, then we should just do nothing and follow the results of divination. In this way, everyone can make money and the world will be peaceful."
After saying that, Misty stacked the shuffled Tarot cards, laid them out horizontally, and began cutting the cards.
After a simple card cutting, the tarot cards returned to a complete stack. Misty placed her hand on top of the cards and drew them horizontally in a row.
"Would you like to have your fortune told?"
"Actually, I trust Liu Yao more than Tarot cards, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try."
As Xia Yu spoke, he pulled a card from the deck, and when he was about to pick it up, Misty held down the card.
"I am the fortune teller. What are you doing with the card? Let me see what this card is."
Misty pressed the card with one finger and pulled it in front of her, then solemnly turned it over.
The card shows a hermit in a robe, holding a lamp and leaning on a cane, groping forward alone in the darkness.
"Hermit, do you want to ask about career or love?"
"Career, I don't worry about relationships."
After getting the answer, Misty began her own interpretation: "Hidden facts, individual actions, listening to others' opinions , enjoying solitude... You retired at the golden age of your career, and others didn't understand that you were just taking a rest for the arrival of the next golden age."
"It sounds like neither a good thing nor a bad thing." Jack, who had come over earlier, listened to Misty's interpretation and expressed his own opinion.
"So you are planning to retire?" V was also quite curious about divination, so he asked Xia Yu directly.
"…This is just divination. Who takes divination seriously?"
Although he said this, Xia Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the interpretation of the Hermit was so accurate.
Both the hidden facts and individual actions are consistent with what he is doing, and retiring during the golden period of his career is just to accumulate strength, which also echoes the fact that he no longer works as a mercenary.
However, the vague interpretation of divination is intended to make the person doing the divination associate it with himself, which can be regarded as a method of psychology.
"Interesting, I'll try it too."
V was also eager to try, and upon hearing that, Misty reshuffled and cut the cards, allowing V to draw a card.
"Are you the reversed Chariot, career or love?"
“That must be a career.”
V replied without hesitation that her mission had failed and she was currently worried about her career, so she might as well use divination to explore the way forward.
"Failed arguments, disputes, sudden failures... If you give up what you have been insisting on in your career, the ending will be more perfect."
"This doesn't sound like a good sign."
Hearing the answer to the divination, especially the sudden failure, V frowned.
"Don't worry." Misty said comfortingly: "Divination is just divination. It doesn't mean that the future will be like this. This is just a hint for you."
"It's my turn. It's my turn."
Seeing that Xia Yu and V had finished divination, Jack hurriedly squeezed the two aside and sat in front of Misty. Whether the divination was good or bad, he wanted to give it a try.
Another set of procedures went through, and Misty turned over the cards and interpreted them.
"You are the Wheel of Fortune in the upright position, which represents a critical event, a new opportunity... the god of luck has come."
"The wheel of fortune has turned to the most depressed moment in your life. Maybe you find it hard to accept it, but if you can look at it with a normal mind, this is undoubtedly the best time for you to grow. You need to face it seriously."
"A chance?"
After listening to Misty's interpretation, Jack looked forward to it a little. Although he might not be able to accept it, if he could look at it with a normal mind, it would be the best opportunity for growth.
"Okay, don't worry too much about the results of divination."
Misty put away the tarot cards on the table and explained casually: "Don't take divination as something that will definitely happen in the future. If divination is absolutely accurate, then everyone will be successful if they do divination before doing anything, right?"
"This is just a warning to you. Think carefully before you do anything. Don't be too decisive. After all, there is no shortage of lies and deception in Night City."
