The strongest dream therapist

Chapter 28 Divination of Fate (2)

Fu Yuan looked at Platelet. Platelet seemed to have lost all his strength. He collapsed on the stool, his eyes unfocused.

"It's just a tarot divination game. Just treat it as a fun thing." Fu Yuan frowned slightly, gently placed his hand on her thin shoulder, squeezed it a little, and comforted her softly.

She bent down slightly, bringing her eyes level with the platelets, her gaze sincere. "Besides, I've always believed that fate isn't predetermined; it can be altered by human will."

As soon as the words came out, Fu Yuan was also stunned, and Kanzaki Hitomi's words just now flashed through his mind inexplicably - be in awe, the gods are always watching you.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked at Kanzaki Hitomi.

Kanzaki Hitomi looked calm, as if she was accustomed to this kind of reaction, and had no intention of responding.

Platelet seemed to come back to her senses. She supported herself on the stool with both hands and slowly stood up. Her face was full of apology. She bowed slightly to Kanzaki Hitomi: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to question you. You are indeed right. I've been in a bad mood recently. I just lost my composure. I'm sorry!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and scanned the QR code on the table. "How much is it per person?"

Hitomi Kanzaki played with the tarot cards leisurely, her fingers nimble and the tarot cards danced gracefully at her fingertips.

She didn't even raise her head, nor did she show any embarrassment. She said slowly, "199th one."

"So expensive?" Fu Yuan exclaimed before Platelet could say anything.

"So expensive?" Fu Yuan couldn't help but let out a low cry.

She often sees people setting up stalls to tell tarot cards, but the most expensive one she remembers is only 60 yuan per person, which is beyond her expectations.

Platelet gently tugged at the corner of Fu Yuan's clothes, looked up at Kanzaki Hitomi, and asked cautiously: "If there are two people, can it be cheaper?"

Kanzaki Hitomi sat steadily on the chair, staring at Fu Yuan with deep eyes through the fox mask. After a while, his voice became a little hoarse as he said, "You two are also 199."

Fu Yuan was a little hesitant and didn't really want to play this kind of thing.

"It's free, come and have some fun. I'll treat you." Platelet was particularly enthusiastic. He quickly handed over the money, stood up, and enthusiastically offered his seat to Fu Yuan. He even reached out and pulled her to sit down, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "I don't know why she didn't take your money, though."

Fu Yuan couldn't resist and had to sit down slowly.

Kanzaki Hitomi suddenly pulled her chair closer, resting her left elbow on the table, her palm supporting her chin. She scanned Fu Yuan's face and uttered something ambiguous: "God said we are destined to be together."

Fu Yuan didn't believe these things, but since he was sitting on this chair, it wouldn't hurt to ask.

She wondered if she should continue to participate if she encountered something like Wu Ping again. She'd been having nightmares recently, but none as severe as Wu Ping's. It was a bit like the military training she'd been experiencing in her dreams, but she could handle it.

Fu Yuan put away his thoughts and looked at the three piles of cards in front of him. They were all very high, and he estimated that there were about 50 cards.

She took a deep breath and tapped the middle pile of cards with her index finger. "I choose this one."

Regarding the principles of her divination, she had just explained them. Kanzaki Hitomi smiled softly and said, "No problem."

As she spoke, she picked up the middle part, put the other two piles of cards together, and put them aside, making room on the table.

The way she shuffled the cards was slightly different from the one she had just given to the platelets. Instead of simply crossing her hands, she placed the tarot cards face down on the table, making circles with her hands like shuffling mahjong, and shuffled the cards for about a minute.

Kanzaki Hitomi looked up at Fu Yuan and asked, "Is this okay?"

Fu Yuan watched her movements, somewhat puzzled: "Is there any etiquette for shuffling cards?"

Kanzaki Hitomi slowly gathered the cards and stacked them neatly, saying as she did so: "For me, it makes no difference whether I shuffle the cards or not. But I think shuffling the cards will be more of a ritual." After saying that, she still started placing the cards from the bottom of her hand, no more, no less, a total of 12 cards.

"My ability allows me to place a maximum of 12 cards. 13 is a taboo that I cannot break." She looked at Fu Yuan, explained briefly, and then nodded, "Pick one that you like."

Fu Yuan was not as hesitant as the platelets. He directly chose the card closest to him and turned it over.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but the moment she opened the page, she did feel like she was being spied on.

"So casual." Hitomi Kanzaki complained and looked over curiously.

The card showed a black-haired girl with stitches on her neck, as if the upper and lower parts were barely joined together.

The entire picture is red. The girl is wearing a white pajamas embroidered with red rose petals and a six-star array painted behind her, which looks ominous.

Her empty eyes seemed to be looking at someone, and her hands were reaching out. Under the card was the Roman numeral "XIII".
Death, reversed.

Kanzaki Hitomi picked up the flipped tarot card on the table and said, "It's the reversed Death."

Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Kanzaki Hitomi smiled and said, "The Grim Reaper symbolizes the major, inevitable changes and transformations that occur in life. Your life has changed a lot recently, and this change makes you feel uneasy."

She picked up the reversed Death card between her fingers, gently waved it in front of Fu Yuan, and said, "It tells me that you are currently trapped in a fear and resistance to change. Even though the current situation may be dire, you cannot muster the courage to move in a new direction, and instead are trapped in a long period of stagnation and internal friction."

Kanzaki Hitomi blinked at her and smiled meaningfully, "Perhaps... only spiritual awakening can break the muddled state of the past. Only by seeing the truth of life can one actively explore the true value and meaning of life."

Fu Yuan felt goosebumps all over his body. This kind of seemingly plausible words was the most imaginative.

She lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I don't understand."

Kanzaki Hitomi laughed a few times, rummaged under the stall, and handed her a palm-sized crystal ball, "Can you call me Kanzaki Hitomi? Let's be friends?"

Fu Yuan looked at the crystal ball in his hand. Silvery-white stardust was suspended in it. With a slight shake, the starlight crisscrossed and wandered in this transparent ball... It looked very much like a children's toy that could be easily bought on the market.

Seeing that she didn't say her real name, Fu Yuan said, "You can call me...therapist."

She looked around, not knowing what was going on this time. After a quick look, everything seemed normal, no different from reality.

The expressions of the people here are different, which is completely different from my previous dreams.

"A healer?" Kanzaki Hitomi murmured, pointing at the crystal ball. "If you want to contact me, just hold it when you go to sleep at night. However, a crystal ball can only be used three times."

Fu Yuan: “Huh?”

Fu Yuan looked at her and felt that this person was very special, as if she was the same kind of person. "I don't understand what you are saying."

"You know." Kanzaki Hitomi said, curling her lips and looking at the platelets, "She is the dreamer tonight. She is too confused..."

Fu Yuan wanted to ask more.

Kanzaki Hitomi suddenly looked up at the sky, as if she had realized something. She packed up her things, put them into a black cloth bag covered with stars, and waved to Fu Yuan.

"It's getting late. See you next time, Healer."

　If the current situation is not so bad, who would read Tarot cards?
