Chapter 202 - 157: The Magician and the Hanged Man_3
Chapter 202: Chapter 157: The Magician and the Hanged Man_3”Finally,” she paused, pointing at the symbol of infinity, ”infinite possibilities and... weak willpower. That is your card, Mr. Jiang Shu.”

Jiang Shu did not move, nor did he speak, but his pupils contracted sharply for a moment.

Although he had always said that Tarot Masters were just using clichéd language to deceive people, at this moment...

He felt trapped.

”Thinking beyond time, what does that mean?” Eventually, Jiang Shu was the first to ask this question, ”This sentence... have you told it to Clo?”

”It means ’eternal spirit,’” Du Yuyi answered, smiling, ”Tell Clo? I won’t explain the meanings of other cards to anyone.”

She narrowed her eyes and said, ”Clo bought this message from me, and I only told him that you possess that unique possibility. There’s nothing wrong with that, as the cards do show that you indeed have infinite possibilities.”

”Is that all?” Jiang Shu’s tone rose.

”That’s all,” Du Yuyi nodded, ”For other inquiries, you can pay with Black Silver. Hmm... it can’t be about the whereabouts of Clo though, because he has already paid ahead of time with Black Silver to seal my lips.”

”What is Clo’s card?” Jiang Shu asked directly. If every ”special” person had a special card to match, then Clo’s card must also be special.

Even if she wouldn’t explain, he might be able to discern something from it.

”One hundred grams,” Du Yuyi chuckled, pulling out a card from the stack of playing cards.

”I don’t have Black Silver with me now, but I will pay you when I return to the theater,” Jiang Shu said gravely.

”That’s fine,” Du Yuyi nodded, seemingly unconcerned about Jiang Shu defaulting, and flipped over the card.

It was an upside-down figure.

Jiang Shu instinctively reached out to turn it over, but Du Yuyi’s hand pressed down to stop him.

”It’s meant to be upside down, you can’t change it,” Du Yuyi said with a smile, then gently withdrew the tarot card and placed it far from Jiang Shu.

Upside down?

Jiang Shu took another look at the card and recognized it.

The Hanged Man.

The core meaning of The Hanged Man was...

Sacrifice.

”Liu Tingruo’s location and what she has to do,” Jiang Shu continued to ask, it was his second concern. He hesitated, and the last question remained unasked.

”Let me see...” Du Yuyi secured the tarot cards, casually flipping through them, the mist in her eyes seemingly dispersed a bit, ”It seems she is very important to Lonely City, the answer to the first question costs two kilograms of Black Silver, the second question...”

”Priceless, I cannot know the answer to this question either,” Du Yuyi shrugged.

”Tell me the first one,” Jiang Shu nodded slightly, Du Yuyi’s words carried a lot of information.

Du Yuyi nodded, took out a large case, and then immersed the tarot cards in it.

A moment later, she turned over a card and placed it in front of Jiang Shu, ”I only saw two words—”

The blank card had two words written on it—White Eagle.

Black Silver for power enhancement, the Key Master.

Probably a search or foreknowledge type of authority.

”Hmm,” Jiang Shu judged silently, then posed another question, ”Do you know about spiritual power? How can I enhance my own spiritual power?”

”Hmm... spiritual power, well, the method to enhance it is different for everyone,” Du Yuyi thought, suddenly noticing the Scepter on the Magician card, ”That’s right, the card has already told you.”

She continued, ”It’s authority, ’the convergence of authority and spirit,’ the greater your authority, the greater your spiritual power will be.”

”?” Jiang Shu found this to be...

Absurd.

But he did not dwell on it and continued with his questions, throwing out the last one, ”I want to know about the Deformed Area, does it really have the ability to alter entries?”

”That question...” Du Yuyi suddenly smiled seductively, ”can count as a bonus. The Deformed Area indeed has the ability to change entries, as long as one has enough Black Silver.”

Just like the fox said.

Jiang Shu asked again as if confirming, ”Are you sure? You haven’t... charged it with Black Silver.”

”Because it’s not needed, no one knows that place better than I do...” Du Yuyi narrowed her eyes slightly, smiling again, a hint of enchantment in the corner of her eyes—

”I escaped from there.”
