Chapter 1 The Fortune Teller on the Streets of New York



Chapter 1 The Fortune Teller on the Streets of New York
The sunlight in the forest shines through the patterns of the glass, and sprinkles on the clean floor of the shop like pieces of gold, and also sprinkles on Bai Jinglan's palms.

He sat comfortably on the recliner beside the counter, holding a large tome in his white right hand.

Under the shattering sunlight, the three big seal scripts—Xu Zhidao—exude a mysterious brilliance.

Suddenly, the wind chime at the door rang crisply, like a clear spring flowing deep in the forest.

"Wow, this wind chime is really sweet."

"I also want to buy a few pieces and hang them in the living room when I go back. It must feel great."

Two slim women came in from the door.

One black beauty, one white beauty.

The black beauty is dressed smartly, with a simple T-shirt and jeans, without any decorations, but with a kind of vitality.

The white beauty... well, a familiar face.

Bai Jinglan's gaze lifted from the yellowed and rough pages, revealing curiosity.

Invisible Susan?
Uh...he looks much younger, and his face is still very immature.

It's 2009 in the Marvel Universe, and I haven't heard about the Fantastic Four, so this is the young version of the Invisible Woman?Or... another Jessica Alba role?
Speaking of which, it's not the first time he's seen characters from other American dramas in the past few years, and now a new character of Jessica Alba appears, it doesn't seem so strange.

This counterpart of Jessica Alba is probably only in her early twenties, but she looks very mature in her attire, with neat shoulder-length hair and slightly dull old-fashioned glasses. She looks like a professional female elite. The breath rushed over.

"Hey, hooked?"

The black beauty showed no signs of displeasure. Her legs in casual shoes took a step forward, walked to the counter and knocked hard.

Bai Jinglan said calmly, "I'm sorry, this lady looks familiar, so I thought I met someone I knew."

The black beauty turned her head: "Man, this kind of girl picking skills have been outdated for too long."

"Whatever you say!"

Bai Jinglan stretched, then straightened up and walked behind the counter, "Do you two need exorcism or divination?"

Hmm... The main business of this small store in Brooklyn is divination and exorcism, and it also sells various exorcism items.

The black beauty shrugged, pointed to the bustling street outside, and said, "There are too many people outside, can you take a rest here?"

This is Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and Williamsburg is famous for hosting various events. Every summer, there will be various street parties, and even the main street like Bedford Avenue will be closed. Residents and tourists flock to fill up.

During this period, cars cannot pass on the streets. People can push baby carriages, hold pet dogs, have a picnic and chat on the streets in the sun, or buy a cup of coffee and watch the ferry boats come and go by the river.

"Looking at the beauty, it's no problem."

Bai Jinglan smiled, and took a box of tarot cards from the side, "If you two are interested, you can also do a fortune-telling, um, it's free."

In other words, he was quite curious about the identity of this Jessica Alba counterpart.

"what."

The black beauty laughed and joked, "If you want Nancy's mobile phone number, I will help you."

"Jessica" rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xi, don't mess around."

"What are you afraid of? It's still early."

The black beauty known as "Xiao Xi" obviously didn't take it seriously, and sat on the high stool in front of the counter, "Hey, the fortune teller whose business is very poor at first glance, let me take a look How powerful your mouth is."

"Uh...that statement is ambiguous, and I don't never make money off my lips."

Bai Jinglan fiddled with the Tarot cards, looking straight into her eyes, "Xiao Xi, please concentrate, and then draw three cards."

"you are very funny."

Xiao Xi shrugged, reached out and took three cards.

"Ma'am, oh, can I call you Nancy?" Bai Jinglan pushed the cards away, "You also draw three cards."

"Ok."

Nancy pursed her lips and drew three more.

Bai Jinglan opened the six cards one by one, namely: Tower, Chariot, Hermit; Magician, Power, Fool: "These six cards represent your past, present, and future..."

Nancy raised her hand suddenly: "I have also learned about Tarot cards, it seems...the way you play is different from yours."

Bai Jinglan stared at the six cards, a slight brilliance flashed across his pupils, but the old god answered on his lips: "It doesn't matter what kind of playing method, it doesn't even matter whether it is a Tarot card, what matters is You connect the imprint of life with the card... let me take a little peek into your river of destiny."

Xiao Xi rested her chin with one hand: "It's so mysterious, what did you see?"

"Um……"

Bai Jinglan finally raised his head, looked at the two of them seriously, and suddenly smiled a little, and took out the three cards from Xiaoxi, "I saw your profession...you are police detectives, and this time you are going to execute a certain card." Task."

Nancy's hand holding the card froze, and the smile on Xiao Xi's face froze instantly, and she quietly touched her waist: "What else?"

This time they are on a secret mission, posing as a bank executive and exchanging information with gangsters for hostages. If any news is leaked, both the hostages and them will be in mortal danger.

Bai Jinglan continued as if he hadn't seen it, and continued: "I also saw your past... The tower represents the variability of interpersonal relationships and careers, and these changes are often sudden and rapid. In the past few years, you have encountered an almost fatal danger, and this danger has caused you great distress, and it has also changed your life drastically."

Xiao Xi's hand stopped, and his face changed several times: "Continue."

"The chariot."

Bai Jinglan picked out the second card, "You are persisting in resisting the bad past, trying to smash the past in a tough way."

"Hermit."

"Your persistence will cause more troubles. I suggest that you better reflect on it for a while, otherwise one day you will...well, harm others and yourself."

Bai Jinglan's final epilogue made Xiao Xi's expression very ugly.

She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, as if recalling the painful past.

After a long time, she fiddled with the hair on her forehead, and said with a calm smile, "I have to say, you still have two hands, at least it's not a problem to cheat some small money, no wonder you can open a store in Williamsburg."

Williamsburg used to be a poor factory area, but as housing prices in Manhattan became more and more expensive, many white-collar workers and free artists had to "migrate south" to Brooklyn, which is only across the river from Manhattan. Areas such as Williams and Fort Powell are the most popular.

In recent years, with the continuous growth of the population here, housing prices have gradually caught up with Manhattan, and even some areas have already been side by side with Manhattan. To open a small shop on the main street here also requires a lot of money.

She was noncommittal to Bai Jinglan's suggestion, and Bai Jinglan didn't care, but looked at "Jessica" again, and said in a calm tone: "Your past is dark, and the darkness has given you a painful life, but it has also given you a painful life." You have unlimited possibilities, but you are obviously not ready to fight against the darkness, you are escaping and resisting passively, but the darkness will eventually find you again, I suggest that you best find the power to overcome the darkness as soon as possible..."

Nancy was silent for a while, then cleared her throat and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Xi held her arm and stood up: "You are very capable, thank you for your advice. Nancy and I are good partners, and we have a group of good colleagues who will help her through all the dark days." , now..." She looked at her watch, "It's almost time, we should go to our business."

"Both, see you next time."

Bai Jinglan smiled and waved his hands, and finally said something meaningful, "Oh, I wish you all the best in your actions, but I have one last suggestion... It's best not to get close to the abandoned buildings in the southwest, otherwise accidents will happen. Unexpected danger."
