Chapter 2164 The Malice of Fate
“Because you were in the room and there was no one outside, so when I ‘came back’ I appeared directly outside.”
Mo Tan first said to The guardian knight who stood up suddenly gave a simple explanation, and then turned to the astrologist who had just spoken rudely but had an indifferent expression on his face. The teacher smiled bitterly and said: "Why did you come here?"
Jenny shrugged indifferently, crossed his arms and said: "As long as it is within the scope of Doumbouya City, I can move at will. , this should be what you told me before, right?"
"That being said, but..."
Mo Tan was just about to say that theoretically there should be many people guarding this chapel, but he suddenly realized that Yi Zou was also here at this moment, and immediately said: "I see, how long have you known each other?"< br>
Yizou, who had thoroughly confirmed that Jenny was not a mean person, coughed lightly and said seriously: "About ten minutes."
"Hmm, we have known each other for ten... ten minutes!?"
Mo Tan's face froze and he said in astonishment: "Why only ten minutes?!"
"Because even though I have been wandering around the city during this period, and even went to the cafeteria to eat, But because I don’t like meaningless social interactions, and you’ve been busy these days and haven’t introduced me to anyone around you, I haven’t made friends with anyone yet.”
Jenny turned to look at the stars outside the window, and said in a calm tone: "So not only you, the lovely school girl, but everyone in this fortress doesn't know me or has seen me."
< br>Mo Tan slapped himself on the forehead, and then looked at Yi Zuo with concern. He weakly walked behind the table and sat down. He leaned on the back of the chair for a while and then said helplessly: "I should have told you to go to Yi Zang or Sha Liya to explain the situation and ask them to help find a place to stay and take care of you." You?”
“I’m not sociable”
Jenny replied lazily, yawning and said: "In the words of you aliens...well, it seems to be called social terror? That old scumbag Tifilo seems to have called himself that. "
Yizou twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, his expression She was also a little stiff. On the one hand, she had just come into contact with Jenny and she really didn’t think that she was the kind of unsociable person. On the other hand, as a fairly devout believer of the Goddess of Dawn, she suddenly heard that her ancestors’ popes were being treated in such a grand manner. It feels really weird to be called an 'old scumbag'.
Of course, it's just a little weird. After all, Yi Zou has never been a fanatical believer, especially after hanging out with her senior who is not very 'devout', she who is not a follower of the rules has become blind to many things. He must be open-minded, and although he may occasionally have relatively naive thoughts, he will never be so pedantic that he would draw his sword and fight if someone says something bad about his pope.
As for Mo Tan...
Let's put it this way, under normal circumstances, personal attacks on Luke Tefero will only increase his favorability, so naturally it will not Will mind.
"What he does is not called social fear, what he calls shameless."
Sure enough, after Jenny's personal attack, Mo Tan immediately complained about Tifilo, and then he was very emotional. Instead of continuing to talk about Jenny's connection with social terror, he changed the topic casually and asked curiously: "So how did you get here during this time? If I remember correctly, in order to prevent the infiltration of blood barbarians, even in In the city, Shalia and Romeo also arranged many open sentries, hidden sentries, patrol sentries and hidden sentries.”
"Are you stupid?"
Jenny turned her head and glanced at Mo Tan, frowning and said: "Or have you forgotten that I am an astrologer so quickly?"
Mo Tan shook his head. He shook his head and frowned: "Of course I know you are an astrologer, but as far as I know, whether it is divination or prediction, you should follow some basic principles. For example, you cannot verify it directly, and you cannot verify the divination results. Have faith, such as being in awe of fate, such as not abusing one's vision, such as in daily life..."
"Stop"
Jenny interrupted with a suspicious expression. Mo Tan frowned and said: "Who did you listen to? It's such a formulaic cliche."
Naturally, Mo Tan would not announce the name Diana Achizoltti, but just said casually: "A friend, your colleague."
"A friend of yours? Or my colleague?"< br>
Jenny’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then she suddenly lit the extinguished cigarette between her fingers, took a deep breath and blew out three smoke rings in a row.
Neither Mo Tan nor Yi Zuo spoke, but looked curiously at Jenny, who suddenly started to smoke to relieve her sorrow.
The latter stared at the three smoke rings for a long time, until they completely dissipated in the air, and then turned to Mo Tan: "Are you lying to me!?"
"I don't think I have."
Mo Tan shrugged and said calmly.
“You think you don’t have it…You think you don’t have it…”
Jenny nodded slightly, repeated Mo Tan’s words twice in a low voice, and then strode up to the latter, He patted the table between the two of them lightly.
Mo Tan: "Huh?"
"Don't make any noise."
But Jenny didn't even pay attention to him. She just lowered her eyes and stared at the cup of tea in Mo Tan's hand that she had only half drunk before. After a while, she asked softly: "Are you testing? ...No, are you testing me?"
Mo Tan just smiled and did not speak.
Yizou, on the other hand, looked at the two of them with some confusion, subconsciously took two steps closer and stood side by side with Jenny, who had a slightly condensed look on her face.
“You didn’t lie to me.”
Jenny reached out and picked up the tea cup, and while looking down at the ripples in the cup, she said softly: "But that's not the truth. Well, it's so annoying. I don't want to think about it anymore."
After saying the last sentence , the young astrologer lady drank the tea in one gulp under the astonished gazes of the other two people, and leaned on the table and sat sideways in the place she had vacated when moving the information, with a calm and peaceful expression, without joy or sadness. .
"Excellent."
Mo Tan clapped his hands gently and joked: "To be honest, I am already a little afraid that I will rely too much on you. "In the end, Jenny glanced at him with disgust and asked, "Why do you want to slander me?"
Yi Zuo immediately took a breath of cold air and looked at his senior in surprise.
"Who wants to scum you..."
Mo Tan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I just expressed my recognition of your ability."
Jenny then showed a relieved expression, nodded and said: “Then Okay, by the way, does your so-called friend strictly abide by what he said? He doesn't abuse his vision, has a sense of respect for fate, etc."
Mo Tan didn't think much, and quickly. He shook his head and said: "That's not true."
That's right, although when he was Frank Hughes, he often listened to Diana trying to get Futaba to study divination technology, and repeatedly emphasized various rules to the latter who liked to speak rudely, but in fact, Diana herself was not very good at it. to do this.
To give the simplest example, when a certain person was being chased and intercepted in Academy City, if Diana hadn't directly observed Gawen in the name of 'helping the law enforcement team' and synchronized the results in real time Give it to 'Witch' Teresa who is giving immediate command, and that person will not be cornered in the end.
From this aspect, Diana is obviously 'abusing' her craft in a targeted manner. Not only that, in Mo Tan's view, although the other party does not like to casually predict the future and divination, However, if it involves family members such as Futaba, Ta Rasha, Kenneth, or Frank Hughes, Diana will basically use her abilities without hesitation.
So——
“So it’s obvious that these rules are bullshit in the vast majority of cases.”
Jenny blew out a smoke ring with disdain and said calmly: "For astrologers who have just started, have no talent or are not good at learning, these rules are useless, because limited by their abilities, the future they see is different from their imagination. There is no clear dividing line between the concepts of 'nonsense' and 'bullshit', so naturally there is no need to abide by any rules."
Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "But Jenny, you are not the kind of astrologist who is not good at studying. Master, isn't it? As a disciple of Master Damas, I think your ability should be no less than ninety-nine percent of your peers in this world."
"Yes, after all, the main masters these days are. Go to your holy religion and kneel down to those gods and goddesses. There are very few people who are talented and willing to be astrologers. And unlike professions such as priests and magicians, there is no astrologer association in this world. People You can’t go to a place like the Achizolti Family or the Damas Astrology Tower to seek apprenticeship, right?”
Jenny shrugged and said in a lazy tone: “And there are only so many people in our industry. In rare cases, I am indeed considered excellent, and just because I am excellent, I don’t need to care about those so-called rules.”
“Do you mind telling me in detail?”
< br>
While chatting with Yuchen through friend messages, Mo Tan asked absently.
“Since I have agreed to Tifilo to be your personal consultant, there is nothing to mind about this kind of thing, not to mention you seem to know a lot about our industry.”
Jenny He raised his chin and signaled Yi Zou, who had nothing to do at the moment, to pour him a cup of tea, and then said in a light tone: "First of all, whether it is an astrologer, a fortune teller, or a prophet, including so-called prophets, Internally, these professions are actually the same thing, that is, "observers of destiny". The reason why astrologers are more popular is mainly because the movement of stars is very, very, very complicated, far from smoke rings, ripples, and water vapor. , wind and other things can be compared, but in fact..."
"Anything can be a window for you to peek into your destiny?"
Mo Tan has been surrounded by Diana for many days. Draw inferences immediately.
But instead of praising him for his quick thinking, Jenny even glared at him: "Or you say it? I listen?"
"Ahem, you say it, you say it."
Mo Tan He immediately gave in and signaled that he would not interrupt.
“Drink tea, drink tea.”
Miss Guardian Knight was also afraid that the astrologer girl would be angry with her senior, so she poured the tea quickly. It could be seen that Yi Zuo was He understands the concept of "corporal courtesy", so he doesn't feel aggrieved for Mo Tan, but feels that Jenny is a sweetheart.
"Well, that's pretty much it."
The temperamental man took a sip of tea, nodded contentedly, and continued: "As you just said, we can actually spy on destiny in countless ways. Of course, I have to Admit it, although I don’t like to rely on the starry sky that can only be clearly observed at night, but that These shiny things are really in line with this industry, so it’s okay to call us ‘astrologers’. As for the rules you just mentioned, let’s put it this way, they are real and every astrologer needs them. The only thing I keep in mind is..."
Because she was obviously trying to show off, so Yi Motan asked very cooperatively: "Just what?"
"It's just that these so-called rules are, strictly speaking, a kind of protection of one's own mind."
>Jenny gave Mo Tan a look that meant 'good eyesight' with approval, and said with a smile: "That's it, you guys Priests will be punished by God if they seriously violate the doctrine. This is a price that has nothing to do with their own will. As for those rules just now, even if we astrologers don't abide by them, we will not be struck to death by the so-called thunder of fate. , at least... that was the case after the death of the goddess of destiny, which left no trace."
Mo Tan nodded, and just as he was about to express his opinion, he suddenly realized that the girl in front of him didn't like other people's "rush to answer" questions, so he immediately shut up and waited for the next step.
"Well, it seems you have guessed it."
Jenny raised her eyebrows after a playful smile, and said in a brisk tone: "Ordinary people just need to believe in themselves or go with the flow. Priests just need to believe in you That's fine. Researchers only need to believe in and pursue the so-called truth, but those of us who deal with fate...can't believe in anything, or in other words, we can't rely on anything, including ' The future' is within, because That thing is predictable to us to a certain extent, it’s just a difference between seeing more and seeing less.”
Yizou blinked in confusion and asked curiously: “Don’t astrologers believe in fate. ?"
"Good question Of course, astrologers do not believe in fate, because in the eyes of astrologers, fate is visible, tangible and unreliable. When the three factors are brought together, who would be willing to do it? How about giving even a little bit of trust?”
Jenny smiled even more happily, but her eyes gradually became serious -
"Because of this, for most astrologers, frequently spying on fate, frequently interfering with fate, and frequently relying on fate are taboos , because over time, we will gradually develop a sense of 'powerlessness' and 'despair' towards life, or a misfortune that cannot be reversed in any case, or a life that is as boring and boring as a script, even if it is an occupation. The mediocre ones among the Star Masters will become desperate because of the betrayal of fate. In the end..."
"What will happen in the end?"
"Self-destruction, or the other way around. Wanting to turn [Destiny] into a pool of quiet stagnant water, that is, destroying everything except yourself, becoming a madman we call a [Destroyer]."
