Data Wasteland

Two days later, the circus arrived in Prades, where it was refurbished and then/performed.

Although many people have died, life will continue. I can only put away my grief and move on.

Chen Xing has never been to this fringe town, which is 900 kilometers away from Lanhua Town. He also got off the airboat and walked around to inspect the local people.

The population composition of Prades Town is similar to that of other fringe towns, with 10% of citizens with black forms, and the remaining 90% are refugees.

There are three main categories of citizens living in fringe towns. The first category is local clerical staff, that is, public officials, whose salaries are uniformly paid by the Principality Council, and belong to those who work in the guard house and eat royal food. Because I work here, I also buy a house here to live.

The second category is the family members of the local garrison members. Similar to the first category, they all go to work with imperial food. The difference is only in civilian and military positions.

The third category is low-level mercenaries, small vendors, or people who have a little savings but can't afford a house in second and third-tier cities, and want to live a leisurely life in the countryside.

Compared with the satellite signal coverage area, the houses in fringe towns are nearly ten times cheaper, and the cost of living is relatively cheap. However, education and medical care are hardly available, and the risk is much higher.

Just like on the earth, the cities in the red earth world are divided into many lines. The higher the level, the better the security and welfare of the city.

The first-tier cities are the capitals of the kingdom, such as the Ice Blue City in the Red Country, Danjin in the Qing Country, and Bam City in the Yellow Country. They are the political, economic and cultural centers, gathering places of the powerful, and the housing prices are so high.

This kind of place has extremely strict system monitoring and belongs to the highest level of security. Even swearing may be illegal and will be punished by deduction of social credit.

The first-tier cities are the capitals of the Principality, such as the Dragon City in the Red Dragon Principality, the White Tiger City in the Tezera Principality, the Surabaya City in the Sparrow Principality, and the White Dragon City State.

Second-tier cities are commercial metropolises, such as Sanchahe City, Former Crow City, White Elephant City, New Edo City, etc., which are the local economic centers.

The third-tier cities are residential cities, such as Grayhorn City and Dashanling, which are underdeveloped in commerce and have low population density, and are dominated by planting or manufacturing industries.

The fourth-tier towns are large regional towns, such as Longshi Town, which has satellite signals and is a gathering place for business in surrounding towns.

The Fifth Line is the marginal town, there is no satellite signal, but there are city guards and security teams, and the marginal towns that enforce limited laws.

Then there is the wilderness, what does love do, without any restriction or protection.

On the second night of staying in the town, Marguerite invited Chen Xing to watch a circus show, and then went to the small market of the circus.

Since we met, Marguerite has stuck to him all day, holding her hands tightly, as if she was afraid of losing it at any time.

Chen Xing could feel the vigilant gaze behind him from time to time, which belonged to Mrs. Ursula.

Mrs. Ursula was a very smart widow who had suffered. She probably realized that the future of their mother and daughter was in the hands of this man, so even if her daughter's behavior seemed a bit out of the ordinary in her opinion, she never stopped her. Just watching from a distance, reminding with his eyes.

And Chen Xing was also considered the rules, and did not make any outrageous behavior. There are a lot of women around him, they can fully meet his needs, there is no need to eat this unripe bean sprouts.

But even if he wants to gnaw, it is estimated that Mrs. Ursula would not dare to say anything, at most he would tell her daughter to take contraceptive measures. The world where the strong is respected is so simple and rude, do whatever you want.

Of course, things that violate human nature will be severely condemned in any world. Even if there is no legal agreement, moral condemnation still exists.

To put it simply, human nature is the commonality of mankind, a code of conduct that most people recognize and abide by.

For example, although cannibalism has occurred from time to time in human history, it has not occurred on a large scale, but only in very few cases. Because "cannibalism" does not conform to the commonality of human beings, it is not a sustainable development.

But in fact, Chen Xing lacks interest in bean sprouts, he likes big breasted beauties, so this possibility is very small.

"Master, let's go to divination. I heard it works."

"you want

If you have any hesitation or want to know, you can ask the goddess. "

Although Chen Xing did not believe in fate, he did not believe in fortune telling because he felt that fate should be in his own hands. Besides, these people are mixed in the circus. If they were so magical, they would have made a fortune long ago. Do they need to endure hardships here?

But he didn't affect the little apprentice's interest, and went into the tent of the goddess with her.

"Dear Miss Flame Swan, good-hearted gentleman who helped us out of bad luck, good evening." The goddess bowed to the two of them, and then asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to divination?"

"I want to know my future, what kind of person I will be." Marguerite asked.

"Then we will use the Big Arcana Triangle of Destiny." The goddess took out a deck of cards and let Marguerite shuffle the cards.

Seeing the pattern on the card, Chen Xing was slightly taken aback, and it turned out to be a tarot card.

Not only are the myths and legends of this world exactly the same as those on the earth, but even the tarot cards are exactly the same.

Next, the goddess asked Marguerite to cut the cards, and then spread them out, letting her choose four at random. Although Chen Xing has not studied tarot divination, he has come into contact with girls who can play this in college, and he still understands the basic rules.

The method and steps of calculation are very similar to those on earth. In this regard, Chen Xing had to doubt that God exists. They created human beings in various worlds, so they have the same myths and legends and the means to spy on their destiny.

Three of the four cards are placed in an equilateral triangle, and the last one is placed in the middle.

"These three cards represent your past, present, and future, with the variables in the middle." The goddess introduced, and then asked Marguerite to turn over the tarot cards representing the "past".

Marguerite closed her eyes, muttered a few words in her small mouth that she didn't know if it was a spell or something, she picked it up with her fingertips, and turned the card over.

"On behalf of your past is an upright magician."

"You are more inclined to technical fields and extraordinary powers. Compared to complex words, you prefer to study logic. You can hardly perceive the emotional symbols represented in the words but can keenly perceive the small differences in numbers. This leads to your science. Performance may be better than liberal arts, and your extraordinary strength may be better than your muscle strength."

"Yes, yes, so accurate!" Marguerite said excitedly.

Chen Xing couldn't help but think of Marguerite's talent-Psionic Touch. Although he didn't know the specific role, he knew that it was a psionic talent just by looking at the name. Combined with Marguerite's performance, it seems very accurate.

Just treat it as a coincidence.

Marguerite soon picked up the second tarot card representing "now".

An inverse temperance.

"Reverse moderation means that you lack moderation now. You need to control certain behaviors or certain ideas."

Marguerite looked thoughtful.

It took a while before she came back to her senses and picked up the third card.

Upright stars.

"Your future will be as dazzling as the stars, leaving names and deeds in history books."

The last picture represents the "variable" is the emperor who is inverted.

"The emperor in the rebellious position does not represent the real emperor. He may be a fake emperor, but he must have powerful powers that can change your destiny."

Marguerite was lost in thought again.

The goddess put away the Tarot cards one by one, and said in a soft and ethereal tone, "Fate is always changeable, so don't worry too much, Miss."

Then she looked at Chen Xing, "Good-hearted sir, do you need divination?"

Chen Xing hesitated. He really hasn't tried anything like fortune telling.

"Master, try it too, it's really effective!" Marguerite urged.

"Hmm..." Chen Xing nodded after hesitating for a while, "Then try it."

Under the guidance of the goddess, Chen Xing shuffled the cards, cut the cards, and then picked out four cards, placed them in order according to the isosceles triangle, and put the last one in the middle.

After doing all this, close your eyes and meditate, and then open the first picture that represents the "past".

Seeing the cards, Chen Xing couldn't help taking a breath. It's too dark.

Rebellion, death!

"Young man, don't worry, this just represents your past. No matter how bad the situation is, it is already far away from you." The goddess comforted, and then read the meaning of the card, "The rebellious **** of death represents a ray of life and brings back life. ."

"Your past is always hovering between life and death, struggling for survival in the gap."

"At the same time, death also represents loneliness. You always have to face all this alone, but you survived in the end."

"Therefore, you have an extremely tough side in your character. Even in the face of any difficulty, you have the determination to overcome it, and you are used to it."

There was no expression on Chen Xing's face, but his heart was shocked.

This is too accurate!

A ray of life, come back to life, face alone, perseverance, nothing is wrong.

In order not to be seen by others, Chen Xing opened the second card representing "now".

Inversion, lover.

"Hmm..." The goddess groaned and said, "For most people, this card may not be a good thing, but for you who are powerful, it may not be a bad thing."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xing asked.

"A lover who is in reversal means that he can't resist temptation and excessive indulgence."

"It also represents emotional naivety and indecision."

"If you want to reap a beautiful love, then please take every relationship in the past seriously."

Marguerite's gaze made Chen Xing feel a little embarrassed, and quickly opened the third card representing the "future". Divert attention and preserve the image of being a teacher.

Upright, chariot.

It looks pretty good.

"The chariot in the right position means going forward bravely and invincible. You will shine on the battlefield. No enemy can stop you, and no one can take your victory." The goddess raised her hands and said.

"Very good!" Chen Xing was in a good mood, and opened the middle one representing "variable".

Chen Xing seemed to be petrified the moment he saw the card.

Upright, devil.

Is it destined in the dark?

"The righteous demon, the real demon, can give strength and destruction. You must be careful. If you are not careful, you will fall into the endless abyss..."

Chen Xing could no longer hear the words of the goddess. The predecessor died because of the devil, the previous life died because of the devil, but in this life, the position of the team leader and the chance of the underground water station are all closely related to the devil.

For the first time, he was in awe of the unknown. Perhaps in the midst of it, there is really a force controlling everything.

"Destiny is always changeable, sir, don't care too much." Seeing Chen Xing in a daze, the goddess said the words to comfort Marguerite just now, and then took back the tarot cards on the table one by one.

"what?"

When receiving the last one, the goddess suddenly made a puzzled voice and moved her hand away.

With sharp eyes, Marguerite immediately saw the problem and couldn't help but yelled, "One more!"

Looking fixedly, behind the demon, there was another card tightly clinging to it. Chen Xing didn't notice just now, and regarded the two cards pasted together as one.

This also means that there are two "variables".

"Sir, please flop." The goddess said.

"Does this still count?" Chen Xing asked strangely.

"It is God's will to do it unintentionally," said the goddess.

Chen Xing took a deep breath, calmed his mood, and turned over the card sticking to the devil.

Upright, queen.

The corners of Chen Xing's mouth twitched. He secretly made up his mind to say that he would never come to divination again, this thing is really terrible.
