Quadruple split

"Because you were in the room and there was no one outside, so I just appeared outside when I came back."

Mo Tan first gave a brief explanation to the guardian knight who stood up suddenly, and then smiled bitterly at the astrologer who just made rude remarks but looked indifferent: "Why did you come here?"

Jenny shrugged nonchalantly, crossed her arms and said, "As long as it's within the limits of Doumbouya City, I can move around as I please. Is this what you told me before?"

"Having said that, but..."

Mo Tan was just about to say that theoretically there should be many people guarding this chapel, but he suddenly realized that Yi Zhao was here at this moment, and immediately said: "I see, how long have you known each other?"

After thoroughly confirming that Jenny was not a mean person, Yi Zou coughed lightly and said seriously: "About ten minutes."

"Hmm, we've known each other for ten... ten minutes!?"

Mo Tan's face froze and he said in shock: "Why only ten minutes?!"

"Because even though I have been wandering around this city during this period, and even went to the cafeteria to eat, because I don't like meaningless social interactions, and because you have been busy these days, you haven't introduced me to the people around you. , so 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."

Mo Tan slapped himself on the forehead, and then weakly walked behind the table and sat down under Yi Zuo's concerned gaze. He leaned on the back of the chair for a while and then said helplessly: "I should have told you to go find it." Please explain the situation to Yi Zou or Sha Liya and ask them to help find a place to stay and take care of you, right?"

"I'm not sociable."

Jenny replied lazily and yawned: "In the words of you aliens...well, it seems to be called social terror? That old scumbag Tifilo seems to have called himself that."

Yi Zuo twitched the corner of her mouth covertly, her expression a little stiff. On the one hand, she had just been in contact with Jenny and she really didn't think that Jenny was the kind of unsociable person. On the other hand, as a fairly devout believer of the Goddess of Dawn, It was really weird to suddenly hear that my ancestor's pope was openly 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 Motan...

Let's put it this way, under normal circumstances, personal attacks on Luke Tefero will only increase his favorability, so naturally he won't mind.

"He doesn't call it social fear, he calls it shamelessness."

Sure enough, after Jenny's personal attack, Mo Tan immediately complained about Tifilo, and then with a high level of emotional intelligence, he did not continue to talk about Jenny's connection with social terrorism, but casually changed the topic and said curiously: "So what's your point? How did time pass? If I remember correctly, in order to prevent blood barbarians from infiltrating, even in the city, Shalia and Romeo arranged many open sentries, secret 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 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, such as not asking for verification directly, such as The results of divination cannot be fully trusted, for example, you must have awe of fate, for example, you must not abuse your vision, for example, in daily life..."

"stop."

Jenny interrupted Mo Tan with a suspicious expression, 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 casually said: "A friend, your colleague."

"A friend of yours? Or a colleague of mine?"

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 suddenly turned to Mo Tan: "You lied to me!?"

"I don't think I have."

Mo Tan shrugged and said calmly.

"You think you don't...you think you don't..."

Jenny nodded slightly, repeated Mo Tan's words twice in a low voice, and then strode up to the latter and gently patted the table between the two of them.

Mo Tan: "Huh?"

"Don't make any noise."

Jenny, however, 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 said nothing.

Yi Zuo, 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 drank the tea in one gulp under the astonished gazes of the other two people. She leaned on the table and sat sideways in the space she had vacated when she moved the information, with a calm and peaceful expression. No joy or sorrow.

"outstanding."

Mo Tan clapped his hands gently and joked: "To be honest, I'm already a little afraid that I will rely too much on you."

As a result, Jenny glanced at him with some disgust and asked, "What are you doing? 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 and nodded: "That's good. Speaking of which, did your so-called friend strictly abide by what he said? Not abuse his vision, have awe of fate and so on. "

Mo Tan didn't think much about it, and quickly 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 it weren't for Diana directly observing Gawen in the name of 'helping the law enforcement team' and synchronizing the results in real time to the person who was conducting real-time command. 'Witch' Teresa, 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 express opinions on the future, divination and other things casually, But if it involves family members such as Futaba, Ta Rasha, Kenneth, or Frank Hughes, Diana will basically use her abilities without hesitation.

so--

"So clearly 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 'bullshit' and 'bullshit', so naturally there are no rules to follow."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "But Jenny, you are not the kind of astrologer who is not good at learning, are you? As a disciple of Master Damas, I think your ability should be no less than ninety-nine percent of the people in this world. Together."

"Yes, after all, the magicians these days mainly go to your holy sect to kneel down to the gods and goddesses Rainbow God. There are very few people who are talented and willing to be astrologers, and they are different from the priests, magicians and other professions. It’s different. There is no association of astrologers in this world. People can’t go to places like the Achizolti Family or the Damas Astrology Tower to seek apprenticeships, right?”

Jenny shrugged and said in a lazy tone: "And even though there are only a few people in our industry, I am indeed considered outstanding in it, and precisely because I am excellent, I don't need to care about those so-called rules. .”

"Would you mind elaborating?"

While chatting with Yuchen through friend messages, Mo Tan asked absently.

"Since I have promised Tifilo to be your personal consultant, there is nothing to mind about this kind of thing, not to mention that you seem to know a lot about our industry."

Jenny raised her chin and signaled Yi Xuan, who had nothing to do at the moment, to pour herself 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 the so-called prophet 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. It is far from smoke rings, ripples, and water. Things like air and wind can compare, but in fact..."

"Anything can be a window for you to peek into your destiny?"

Mo Tan, who had been around Diana for many days, immediately drew inferences.

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 immediately gave up 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 understood the concept of "corporal courtesy", so she did not feel aggrieved for Mo Tan, but felt that Jenny is a temperament person.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

The temperamental person took a sip of tea, nodded contentedly, and continued: "As you just said, we can actually spy on our destiny in countless ways. Of course, I must admit that although I don't like to rely on observation that can only be made clearly at night. The starry sky, but those shiny things are really suitable for 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 are the same for everyone. Every astrologer needs to keep this in mind, but..."

Because she was obviously trying to show off, Mo Tan asked 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 an approving look that meant 'good eyesight' and said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, you clerics will be punished by God if you seriously violate the doctrine. Regarding the price of one's own will, and those rules just now, even if we astrologers don't abide by them, we will not be struck to death by the so-called lightning of fate, at least... after the death of the goddess of fate who 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 only need to believe in themselves or follow the crowd, clerics only need to believe in your gods, and researchers only need to believe 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 regard anything as sustenance and reliance, including the 'future', because to a certain extent, that thing It’s predictable, it’s just a matter of seeing more and less.”

Yi Zhao blinked in confusion and asked curiously: "Don't astrologers believe in fate?"

"Good question, of course astrologers don't believe in fate, because in the eyes of astrologers, fate is visible, tangible and unreliable. And when the three factors are put together, who would Are you willing to give it even a little bit of trust?"

Jenny smiled even happier, but her eyes gradually became serious——

"Because of this, for most astrologers, frequent spying on fate, frequent interference with fate, and frequent reliance on fate are taboos, because over time, we will gradually develop a sense of 'powerlessness' and 'despair' in life, or Whether it is a misfortune that cannot be reversed in any case, or a life that is as boring and boring as a script, even a mediocre astrologer will feel despair because of the betrayal of fate again and again, and in the end... haha."

"What happened in the end?"

"Self-destruction, or conversely, wanting to turn [destiny] into a puddle of quiet stagnant water, that is, destroying everything except yourself, becoming a madman we call a [destroyer]."
