Tarot Club, Justice

Looking at the person who appeared beside him, it was Zhiyue, whom he had met outside the Starry Sky Leaderboard stronghold.

Her attire was the same as when we first met, except that she was now wearing a pair of red high heels over her bare feet.

It adds a touch of sensuality to her overall demeanor, moving beyond the typical "neighborly older sister" image.

Shen Hui then remembered that Zhiyue had indeed mentioned wanting to talk to him alone before she left.

However, I had completely forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, the other party would appear directly outside the World Association's base.

Shen Hui remembered that the other party was among the top fifty on the Starry Sky Leaderboard, so their strength was beyond doubt.

But I have no relationship with her, so I really don't know why she contacted me.

"Haven't you seen enough? Want me to take it off so you can see?"

Seeing Shen Hui's oblivious or embarrassed gaze, Zhiyue spoke up to remind him.

"Um... if possible..."

"Haha, just kidding."

Shen Hui raised his head, looked at Zhiyue in front of him, and his playful expression turned serious.

How did you know I was here?

"Also, we don't seem to know each other, so what exactly do you want from me?"

Shen Hui voiced his doubts; the only thing he was certain of was that the other party harbored no hostility.

Zhiyue looked at Shen Hui with a slight smile, ignoring the first question and answering the second one directly.

"We don't know each other, but I know you."

"Isn't it normal that you know me? You've said it before..."

Shen Hui was just about to say, "You've said before that I'm quite famous and everyone knows me."

But Zhiyue interrupted Shen Hui directly.

"Death God, right?"

Upon hearing Zhiyue's words, Shen Hui's expression suddenly froze.

How... how did she know about Death God?!

The identity that Shen Hui used in the underground market Death God should be unknown to everyone except himself.

If this gets out, my identity as an undercover agent within the Giant God Cult might be exposed!

"Don't get agitated. I don't know what's going on with you, and I don't want to know or care."

As she spoke, Zhiyue looked at a car parked nearby.

"I think we can talk there."

Then, as if remembering something, Zhiyue added a sentence.

"Don't worry, this is the entrance to the World Association."

Shen Hui nodded and followed the other person into the car.

The car shut out all sounds from the outside world: pedestrians walking, talking, car horns...

The car felt like another world; it was quiet and even gave you a sense of peace.

Zhiyue, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Shen Hui in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said:

"I learned of you from the Fool."

"The Fool?"

Shen Hui squinted, repeating those two words.

"It's someone wearing a clown mask; you've definitely seen him before."

After Zhiyue finished speaking, she watched Shen Hui's expression change.

"It's him! But how did he know my true identity?!"

Shen Hui immediately thought of the clown masked man he had encountered twice in the underground market.

"What, you're in cahoots with him? You're a conman?"

Shen Hui asked Zhiyue.

Upon hearing Shen Hui's words, the other person suddenly laughed twice and said something that left Shen Hui puzzled.

"Why be the Fool? The Magician is more suited to him."

Then Zhiyue said seriously:

"Alright, I think the Fool already told you, the Tarot Club..."

Shen Hui nodded. The Fool had invited him to join them the first time they met.

"There really is such a Tarot Club? You're a member too?"

If Zhiyue in front of me is also a member of the Tarot Club, then it proves that this Tarot Club is definitely not simple.

Zhiyue suddenly turned her upper body around to face Shen Hui.

Then he grabbed his clothes with his hands, as if he was about to take them off.

What are you doing...?

But Shen Hui soon realized that he had misunderstood Zhiyue's meaning.

Zhiyue smiled and pulled her top down slightly.

She had just covered her breasts, revealing her delicate shoulders.

The tattoos that had been covered by clothing were now fully revealed.

It was a colorful tattoo of a woman in meditation, dressed in a red robe and wearing a golden crown, sitting gracefully on a stone bench.

She held a scale in her left hand and a sword aloft in her right.

His left foot stepped slightly outward, as if he wanted to stand up, but his right foot was still hidden inside his robe.

It gives people a sense of solemnity and holiness.

Then Zhiyue pulled her clothes up, and a tarot card appeared in her hand without her noticing.

The pattern above is exactly the same as the pattern above her shoulder.

The tarot card has the Roman numeral 11 written on it, and the word "Justice" is marked at the bottom.

"Tarot card, number 11: Justice."

Shen Hui murmured unconsciously.

"That's right, I am a member of the Tarot Club, number eleven, representing Justice."

"The person you saw wearing the clown mask earlier was number zero, representing the Fool."

"And you..."

Zhiyue looked at Shen Hui as she spoke.

"You are in position thirteen, representing Death God."

"No, I didn't. I never agreed to join any Tarot Club."

Shen Hui immediately rejected the idea.

"Heh, maybe not, but you've already been chosen by the Fool; you're just waiting for the right opportunity."

Zhiyue ignored Shen Hui's denial.

Shen Hui scoffed, not believing her statement at all.

But having learned that this Tarot Club seemed to be more than just a simple matter, and that it involved him, he felt compelled to find out more.

"What kind of organization is your Tarot Club? What do you want from me? Or rather, why were I chosen? How did you Tarot Club?"

"Finally, you've gotten to the point. That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about."

"Actually, I didn't want to contact you either, but as a Justice, I feel it's necessary to tell you information you don't know; that's the only fair thing to do."

Zhiyue spoke, she seemed lost in thought, or perhaps reminiscing.

"I've forgotten how I joined. Maybe it just happened naturally, but it's definitely related to the Fool."

"Just skip me."

"The Tarot Club isn't an organization; the members are all independent and rarely communicate."

"But we might unite to address a certain issue when necessary."

"Most people are invited by the Fool; the Fool is the starting point of the Tarot Club."

"As for who will be invited, the Fool says he doesn't know either, which is ridiculous, isn't it?"

"So... how many people Tarot Club?"

Shen Hui asked.

"There are 22 Major Arcana cards in the Tarot deck, which can be said to represent 22 people, but I'm not sure how many there are now, since I haven't met many myself."

"Like you, the newly invited Death God, number 13."

"I've already said that I'm not Tarot Club."

"Hehe, maybe so. Each tarot card actually corresponds to a rule, the Fool never chooses the wrong person."

"Besides, even if you wanted to join, it wouldn't count as joining."

"That day hasn't come yet, your initiation ceremony hasn't started. When that day comes, you will join on your own."

As for our nature...

Zhiyue looked at Shen Hui with a serious expression.

"Shen Hui, have you considered some of these issues?"

"Some very grand issues, but they are closely related to us."

"What do you think is the truth of this world?"

"Or rather, what are we? What is our meaning, and what will be our final destination?"

Zhiyue paused for a moment at this point.

Could we also be living in a Creation World?
