Seeking Help
When Vier first started speaking, the man thought this suspense was somewhat interesting, but when she said things like "the most important person, the dangerous road, killed her," the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"My mother passed away two years ago. It was the enemies I made in the Hidden Realm who killed her. If I had listened to her and hadn't taken this dangerous path, she certainly wouldn't have died."
Without a doubt, this was a secret hidden in the man's heart.
He later took his revenge, aided by the power of the planet, but his mother would never return.
"Sir, you also went through a period of depression. After losing the most important person to you, it was as if your soul had been lost. You were very depressed for a period of time, and some of your actions almost destroyed you, but eventually you came out of it."
"Since then, you have been confused, and this confusion has continued to this day."
The white-haired girl closed her eyes and murmured in an ethereal voice.
"You've had love, but that love wasn't meant for you. It took away your money, and left you..."
Man. "..."
At that moment, he coughed suddenly and said, "That's enough."
Can you please not mention that I was cheated on and scammed out of money?
Vier opened her eyes and whispered, "This is the past. This is all I can see."
The girl with long silver hair spoke these words quietly, but from the man's perspective, what she had predicted... was perhaps a little too accurate.
No, it should be described as terrifying.
"It's probably a coincidence, after all, she didn't say it outright..."
But this is just too much of a coincidence.
This is just a 50 yuan fortune telling... no, strictly speaking, it's 60 yuan.
"Let's talk about now." He swallowed.
"Good."
The girl Pendulum and took out the playing cards.
"Sir, please draw one at random."
Upon seeing the girl's outstretched hand, he hesitated for a moment before randomly pulling one out from the thick queue.
When unfolded, it is 8.
The image in the center of the 8-point card in this world is a tiger.
"So that's how it is, is it a tiger?"
"What's the explanation for this?" the man asked.
"Tiger means enemy, an enemy that can pose a great danger to you. But tigers are not something you want to face proactively, but for some reason, you have to confront them," Vier said, seemingly deep in thought. "The enemy is quite powerful, an invincible tiger, so you need to find allies, which is the right thing to do. Hmm... are you currently trying to find allies?"
"Cough cough."
The man coughed suddenly.
It's a coincidence, isn't it?
Does the tiger refer to Personality Cult?
Indeed, according to the above, the enemy that Planet is currently facing is extremely powerful. Given my past personality, I would have run away long ago in this situation. But I did ask Planet to avenge my mother, and now it's time to pay the price. Otherwise, I would never have gotten involved in this.
In this way, being forced to cooperate with the planetary faction to deal with the Personality Cult in order to pay off debts actually aligns with what the girl's divination said about facing a tiger.
And isn't finding allies exactly what I'm doing right now?
"Sir, that's all. It seems there's no more content." The girl opened her eyes.
The man had fallen completely silent.
The more he looked at the girl's sacred and beautiful face, the more a chill ran down his spine.
That's incredibly accurate, ridiculously accurate.
Can her divination really see the future? If not, why is it so accurate?

"Next comes the future."
Vier knew exactly what the other person was thinking, but she pretended not to know and took out the tarot cards.
"Wait."
The man couldn't help but interrupt, "Is the result of the divination... guaranteed to happen?"
"Um?"
The white-haired girl hesitated for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. But after a few seconds, she shook her head. "I don't know about this kind of thing either. Divination is essentially a revelation of the future. If you believe that the future will be exactly as it is, then it's not impossible for it to be exactly the same."
"Then... let's not do the divination for now." He took a deep breath and said very seriously, "I saw your little note somewhere else. It seems that besides divination, you can also do detective work and provide assassination services?"
"Oh, it's just a small business. Sir, is there anything I can do to help you with?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure of your exact strength, because my organization is being forced to deal with another dangerous force, and we need to take care of a few of their members."
"I see. I can accept the mission, but I need you to provide relevant information."
"Could we meet somewhere else? I need to discuss it with my people here," the man asked, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
"Okay, please tell me the location."
As if he had been prepared for this, the other person took out a piece of paper from his person and handed it over.
"This is one Purple Crystal Coin, as a token of our sincerity."
Upon seeing the money, Vier smiled slightly, "I see your sincerity. The future doesn't look good. How should I address you normally?"
"My name is Lei Jiu."
"Then let's go with Mr. Lei."
After leaving the fortune-telling shop, Lei Jiu stood in front of the street, took a drag of his cigarette, and recalled the fortune-telling session he had just had, feeling a chill run down his neck again.
"Incredible divination abilities, that girl is truly remarkable."
In fact, the girl's stunning beauty alone was already incredible.
Coupled with this seemingly miraculous divination, Lei Jiu once suspected that the other party had actually used some kind of prophetic magic and seen everything about him.
"Was it a mistake not to have her divine the future?"
He suddenly remembered the other person's last words, "The future is not good," and felt inexplicably uneasy.
He realized he was afraid. If the other person told him that the outcome was bad, how would he feel?
Is it possible that once it's spoken, the outcome is already predetermined?
"I must ask next time," he thought to himself.
Three hours later, we arrived at the reserved villa area.
This residential area comprises buildings in the classical palatial style of the steam age, undoubtedly a place only the middle class and above can afford to live in. For a society like Planet, such wealth is to be expected.
Lei Jiu arrived at the scene with a man wearing a black felt hat and a coat.
Beside them was a slightly younger man.
"If you're not exaggerating, this young woman is definitely a very skilled fortune teller. Someone like that couldn't possibly be unknown in this circle, but none of us have ever heard of her." The man in the felt hat took off his hat, squinted, and looked at the house in the distance.
"More than her divination abilities, we should be worried about her combat prowess. Someone like her couldn't possibly act alone, could she? Could she also be backed by some mysterious organization?"
"That possibility is not low."
As the man in the felt hat finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and turned to look at the garden a few dozen meters away.
A teenage girl with long, silver-white hair, also wearing a hat, appeared before us.
"Hello, Miss Vier, you are very punctual." Lei Jiu greeted her proactively.
"Hello everyone, I've seen the intelligence you provided. It involves an organization called the Personality Cult, right? I need to assassinate two people, and for each additional person I kill, I'll be paid?"
"Yes."
To Planet, the Personality Cult is no ordinary society; it likely possesses Transcendent.
Of course, they didn't tell the girl in front of them about this, especially since they had recently felt the power behind the Personality Cult was terrifying. If they revealed too much, they might scare the girl away.
"I will contact you through a temporary account after I have dealt with the targets. Based on the information you provided, both targets are quite strong, and I expect a reward of 42 Purple Crystal Coin."
"No problem."
After they reached an agreement, Vier left with a sense of relief.
After she left, the hooded man couldn't help but say, "She didn't ask anything about the forces, numbers, or backgrounds behind the other side."
"Perhaps they felt we couldn't provide any useful information, since we also lacked understanding of the Personality Cult."
"Hehe, that's too careless. I have my doubts about her. Many newcomers don't have a clear understanding of their own abilities."
"That's a real shame."
But if you embark on this path, it's quite normal to accidentally receive a terrible mission and die.
The smart thing to do is to take care of the two people and run away immediately; the Personality Cult is not easy to deal with.
After leaving, Vier found a bench in the park and sat down gently.
"The information provided was a bit limited, but fortunately, we obtained some using the Mystic Thread."
After carefully reviewing the contents, she had to admit that this task was a complete trap.
It's too difficult for ordinary Hidden One.
If she weren't also targeting someone herself, she really wouldn't want to provoke them at all.
"Taking action directly is a bit risky, let's leverage the existing momentum... if possible."
This time, Vier wasn't thinking of the Shadow Bureau, but of another place.
They were also among the new members of the Dusk group selected last night.
At the same time, in the suburbs of Konghai City, inside a palace-style building.
A beautiful young woman with long black hair sat on the platform, gazing at the artificial lake and garden in the distance, quietly sipping her afternoon tea.
She was in a very good mood.
Even the head maid standing nearby found it strange; Miss Felyua, who was usually in a bad mood, seemed to have suddenly changed her personality today.
She held the kitten in her arms, kissed it, and then suddenly stood up and said, "Xiaoya, I'm going to my room. Don't waste the pastries on the table, can you eat them for me?"
"Alright." The head maid rubbed her stomach, which felt like it was about to burst, looking utterly helpless.
A few minutes later, Felyua arrived at her room.
"That's amazing, really amazing! I never thought I could step into that mysterious realm. Little Biscuit, do you know, I'm Hidden One now too."
Felyua stroked the head of the cat in her arms, rubbed its face happily, and then sat down at her table.
"My father knows the secrets of the supernatural world, but he is worried about my safety and is unwilling to tell me. Perhaps there really is a risk, but I really yearn for the realm of the occult."
She picked up the comb beside her and carefully combed her hair for a while before nodding in satisfaction at the tall girl in the mirror.
"The teacher my father introduced me to turned out to be from the mystical world. If I hadn't entered this field and become observant, I would never have discovered this. Little Biscuit, do you think I should tell him the truth about my mysterious powers?"
"Meow--"
The white-furred creature, nicknamed "Little Biscuit," lazily opened its mouth, clearly not going to give any answer.
"It's still not working, I guess. I've heard that the world of the extraordinary is full of dangers. There must be a reason why my father doesn't allow me to get close to it. Even so, the power I come into contact with should be safe, right?"
As she pondered this, she suddenly felt a strange power.
He quickly got up and saw that the surrounding environment suddenly became dark and distorted.
A deep fog permeated the darkness, filling everything with an eerie atmosphere.
