When he woke up, Gu Tu only felt dizzy.
To be honest, the experience of being summoned to another world was not good. It felt like a long nightmare, making one physically and mentally exhausted. Moreover, the smell here was not very good.
He was still in the garbage dump, and the smell on his body had already assimilated with the surrounding garbage. It seemed that he had been lying here for quite some time.
"I have to find a place to take a shower." He didn't want to be killed by his own body odor.
He didn't have any money or phone, so he couldn't take a car and could only run back to his place. Fortunately, he was able to run faster than a car after using Soul Imprint. However, they had to be careful not to be seen by passersby when they ran, or they would be mistaken for aliens.
He sometimes walked through the alley, sometimes flew over the roof, and soon returned home. He took a good shower and changed into decent clothes.
He was now a decent man with more than 700,000 yuan in his account. Although the appearance fee for the underground boxing was stolen, the gambling profits were directly transferred to the account. The only problem now was how to withdraw the money from his account.
He had lost his phone, so he couldn't use the e-bank. He had lost his bank card and wallet, so he couldn't use the ATM. He had to go to the bank counter to get a new card, but he needed an ID card, and the ID card was in his wallet. To report the loss of all kinds of cards in the wallet, it would usually take ten days to half a month for an ordinary person.
However, Gu Tu was not an ordinary person. He was a glorious mage and could use magic to think of a way. Through the Soul Imprint, he could find the people and objects that had their soul imprints.
There should be my soul imprint on the wallet. He thought. After all, he loved it so deeply that most of what he did in his life was for it. He had even died for it once.
Unfortunately, he loved his wallet, but his wallet did not love him. He activated the divine power of Soul Imprint, but he couldn't sense any trace of the wallet. He could only sense the people he had beaten up after activating his skill.
Hence, he looked for the hooligans he had beaten up one by one. In the end, he found his beloved wallet in the shortest hooligan's place. So it was picked up by this kid.
Although the hooligan had spent the cash inside, his ID card and bank card were still inside. He even found his phone.
"Your luck is pretty good." he said to the hooligan. "If they weren't in there, your head would be a chamber pot by now.”
He left the hooligan's house happily. He was in such a good mood that he did not beat the hooligan up again. Now that he was a rich man, he could splurge for a period of time even if he did not work.
Just then, his phone rang. It was an unknown number.
He usually didn't answer calls from strangers. However, he was in a good mood today and decided to give the other party a chance.
As he walked, he answered the call. "Hello,"
"Hello." It was the voice of a young woman. "May I ask who you are?"
No, you called me and asked who I was? Can't we do things appropriately?
"Who are you?" he asked. He felt that his self-restraint was really not bad.
"I am Cheng Wuji." The other party happily reported his name. "I need to see you. Where are you now?"
"Is there some misunderstanding between us?”Gu Tu asked.
"There is no misunderstanding." Cheng Wuji said firmly. "We will meet in the end, because that is our destiny.”
She didn't sound like a middle school student. Why did she sound so ashamed?
"I'm sorry, I don't believe in fate." He was about to hang up. "Goodbye."
"That's interesting. Because you should be the one who believes in fate the most.”she said. "After all, you just experienced something that no one else has experienced before, right?”
Gu Tu was stunned for a moment.
She knows about me?
No, it was impossible. She was deliberately mystifying things.
"What do you mean?" he asked steadily.
"You know what I mean." she said. "You can't tell anyone about that, can you? Because they won't believe it."
At this moment, Gu Tu had already walked out of the alley and arrived on the main road.
He noticed that an orange sports car had stopped on the opposite side of the road. This brand of car was quite expensive, but the owner's taste wasn't very good, so he chose such an eye-catching orange.
The car owner got out. It was a man with shoulder-length hair and wearing a suit. Even across the road, Gu Tu could tell that the suit was expensive and well-tailored. The man turned around and smiled at Gu Tu. He smiled charmingly.
Is he smiling at me? No way. There are so many people on the road, why is he looking at me?
But Gu Tu did feel that the man was looking at him.
"Hey, are you listening?" Cheng Wuji was calling him.
However, Gu Tu's gaze was attracted by the man. Because he saw that the man had red lips that were as bright as fire. He didn't recognize the man, but he recognized the red lips.
This man shouldn't be here. He shouldn't have appeared in this world.
"I'll go find you now." Cheng Wuji said. "Where are you?"
"Nanke West Street, north of the road, under the newsstand.”Gu Tu said. He gripped his phone tightly as if it was his last straw.
A bus stopped at the intersection, blocking Gu Tu's line of sight.
When the traffic lights changed and the bus left, the orange sports car and the man with red lips were gone.
A gust of cold wind blew over. Only then did Gu Tu realize that his underwear was completely soaked.
He stood there in a daze for ten minutes, unable to move a single step until Cheng Wuji appeared in front of him.
"Hi. Nice to meet you, I'm Cheng Wuji."
Cheng Wuji had curly brown hair, black round glasses, and a beige knitted shawl. His hands were casually stuffed in the pockets of his jeans. She had a fair and quiet face, but her actions were handsome like a tomboy.
"Hello. I am Gu Tu." He stretched out his hand.
She gently held his hand. She kept looking at him as they shook hands.
"Well, it's different from what I thought…" He's more handsome than I thought, right?"
Even so, she still recognized him at a glance.
"So, why are you looking for me?”he asked directly.
"Do you want to stand here and chat like a fool?" she asked.
Uh.
"There's a coffee shop at the corner of the street ahead. Let's go." she suggested.
He had no choice but to follow her into the cafe. He ordered a cup of grapefruit tea while she ordered a glass of fruit juice.
"Don't you like coffee?" she asked.
"It's alright. I'll try to drink as little as possible when I'm not working overtime, so as to prevent my body from developing a 'drug resistance'.”he said. "What about you? You don't like coffee?"
"Yes, drinking coffee will affect your inspiration.”she said.
Then why did you come to the cafe?
"You're a writer? Artists?" he asked.
"Astrologer." she answered.
What kind of class was this?
"Of course, I don't earn money from this.”she added. "I earn money as a programmer. A programmer was very similar to an astrologer. They both lived on inspiration.”
He was very curious about what kind of code she would write and whether she would crash the system to the point of doubting life.
"Then, why are you looking for me?”
"I don't know."
"…You don't know?"
"Yes, everything is guided by inspiration.”she said seriously. "When I was meditating just now, a string of numbers suddenly appeared in my mind. I dialed the number and then picked up your call.”
Oh, that was really the guidance of fate.
"So, is there anything you want to say to me?”she asked.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't." he said. He thought that she would know something and could give him some useful information, so he agreed to meet her. Now, he regretted it.
He looked at the time on his phone and stood up. "I'm sorry, I still have something to do. I'll have to excuse myself…"
"No way, you clearly have something to ask. Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to meet me.”she said. "When I saw you, you were staring at the other side of the road. What you want to ask must be related to 'that', right?”
Although this girl was mysterious, her intuition was quite sharp.
"Then, do you have an answer?" He sat back down.
"No, but I can do a divination for you.”
She snapped her fingers at the waiter. A minute later, the waiter brought over a set of tarot cards.
"I'm a regular here. They have a tacit understanding with me.”she explained.
She shuffled the cards and handed it to Gu Tu. "Come, draw three cards."
"This isn't how you play tarot cards, right?”He took a card from the top, middle, and bottom of the deck and handed it to her.
"The cards are just props. As for how to play them, it depends on your inspiration.”she said.
He started to worry about her professionalism.
She lined up the cards he had drawn. The three cards were Death, Death, and Death.
"How can there be three Death God cards in a deck of tarot cards?”he asked.
"So, this isn't a tarot card.”she said. "It doesn't matter what card it is. The important thing is what you drew."
"Then I drew the Grim Reaper. Does that mean I'll die soon?”he asked jokingly.
"Recently? It could also be said that it was recently. But I'm afraid it's not just recently." She sighed. "Don't tell me you're already dead?”
His heart was beating violently.
"Are you kidding me?" He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't. "Dead people won't sit here and play cards with you.”
"Indeed, it is not uncommon for dead people to play cards, but it is not impossible.”She shuffled the three Death Cards back into the deck. "If it was normal, why would my spiritual perception specially remind me?”
She once again extended the card in front of Gu Tu. "Come on. Draw three more cards. Those three cards answered my questions. It's your turn to ask questions this time.”
Gu Tu did not want to smoke. However, he did not want to let go of this opportunity. So he drew three cards.
With the three cards facing up, Cheng Wuji laid them out in a row and flipped them over one by one.
The first card he flipped over was a beautiful woman. Her eyes could not be seen on the card, but her red lips were extremely eye-catching.
Gu Tu's expression froze when he saw this card. "This card isn't in the tarot deck."
"I told you, these aren't tarot cards.”
"What is this card called? What does it symbolize?"
"This card doesn't have a name. It symbolizes whatever you see it to be.”Cheng Wuji said.
Then, she flipped the second card. The card depicted a group of imps who had captured a bishop and were roasting him over a fire.
"This card does have a name. It's called Rebel." she said.
She flipped the third card. There was a wheel drawn on the card, and on both sides of the wheel were angels and demons fighting.
Gu Tu recognized this card. "The Wheel of Destiny."
"Yes, the Wheel of Fate. I prefer to call it 'Reincarnation'." Cheng Wuji said.
"But these three cards didn't answer my question.”Gu Tu said.
" Divination can only predict what will happen to you, but it can't answer your riddles.”Cheng Wuji said meaningfully. "There are some questions that others can't tell you. You have to solve them yourself. And the process of solving this mystery is called 'life'.”
She stood up. "We will meet again after you have experienced the story depicted on these three cards.”
She left just like that.
Gu Tu remembered that she hadn't paid for the juice.
