Monster Hunter Gathering

"You kid can actually get stuff like Sian Westin." Doc got close to David's face and said, "Are you going to rob Arasaka Corporation or a military technology laboratory?"

"No."

David struggled to get up from the operating table.

At this moment, blood was oozing out of David's arms, back, face, neck and other parts of his body.

Those are the places where David reinstalled his prosthetic body.

"I know I have to make a change." David touched the prosthetic body that had been reinstalled into his body: "In this damn Night City."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Doc said. "Tell me what's going on."

"I..." David said, "I joined a rally."

"In that gathering, the Grand Commander gave me the medicine that can restore my body." David said, "That's it."

"Hey, hey! Are you thinking of using this sentence to offset your reward?" Doc said dissatisfiedly, "I just installed Sian Westin for you."

"Let me do it, it's just a bottle of medicine." Er Qiao raised his hand silently.

The next moment, Er Qiao placed a bottle of light green medicine on the shelf next to the operating table.

"Recovery Potion G." Er Qiao said directly, "Even if they only have one breath left, as long as they are not dead... this medicine can save them."

Er Qiao also thought about whether to take the normal recovery medicine or this blended G-position recovery medicine.

But thinking about it, Doc was pretty nice to David in the end, so Er Qiao took out a bottle of G-position recovery medicine.

"G?" Doc held the bottle of medicine up to the light, examining the contents. "What a strange code name! Is this your company's research? Are the results really as exaggerated as you claim?"

"Otherwise, David, try again." Doc turned to look at David: "Don't worry, I will help you put the prosthesis back..."

David's face changed. He didn't want to have the prosthesis fitted again without anesthesia.

"It's going to hurt if I have to prove it." Er Qiao said with a bitter face: "I can't cut off my own hand to demonstrate it to you."

"No thanks." The Doc glanced at Er Qiao and said, "In Night City, I haven't encountered a single person without a prosthetic in years. Today, I actually ran into two, and one of them is a guy I know."

"Off-brand medicine... no one here needs it anyway," said the black-hearted doctor, who wouldn't even give anyone anesthesia. "Those who have to use this stuff deserve it, even if they can't be saved."

"Doc, keep this bottle of medicine for yourself." David said to Doc with all his might, "You must... survive well in Night City."

After David said this, he climbed up from the operating table and walked out staggeringly.

Er Qiao also nodded to Doc and chased after David.

"You're leaving and you're saying that." Doc cursed at David's back, but after glancing at the recovery medicine G in his hand, he turned around and put the recovery medicine on the shelf in the clinic.

"Such a big change has happened in just one or two days... What kind of gang did David join?"

When David and Er Qiao walked out of the clinic, a message reminding them of the rally suddenly popped up in front of them.

Nie Chiwu: David! Er Qiao! Come to Bradbury Street and Bran Street! There's a fortune-telling shop here! Meet here! I'll introduce you to my friends! And while we're at it, we can discuss some of the strategies we'll be working on.

"Huh?" Er Qiao raised an eyebrow curiously. "Captain? Friends here? Huh?"

"Huh?" David was also a little confused: "Could it be that hunters could have come to Night City a long time ago?"

"That's impossible! I'm the first hunter in the gathering!" Er Qiao scratched her head, "So what exactly is that place?"

"Uh... I've never been there either..." David was also confused for a moment: "But we can take a bus. I have a prosthetic body now and can pay for the bus..."

Nie Chiwu: Come quickly! Kazuma and I are telling fortunes here! You guys should come and get yours too! Misty's fortune telling is so accurate!

"So who is Misty?" Er Qiao was even more confused.

Chapter 193 Hunters' Tarot Divination

"Mr. Nie Chiwu, is this really all that's needed?"

Misty looked at the people in front of her with some curiosity.

The five people in front of me all have Asian faces, and most of them look very young.

It would be better to say that, except for the leader [Nie Chiwu], the others all looked less than twenty years old.

Moreover, it was strange that Nie Chiwu wanted to ask Misty for divination. He just wanted her to help them each draw a chapter of Tarot cards from the deck, and then ask Misty to help explain it.

Although Misty was surprised, Nie Chiwu paid very happily and paid directly in cash.

"Let me introduce."

Nie Chiwu introduced the people around him to Misty: "These people are my friends... Shirou Emiya, Yomu Rakuro, Tanjiro Kamado, and Sato Kazuma, who is not important and does not cooperate with the formation."

"Hey! Mr. Kazuma, I can feel that your tone is full of targeting! What do you mean by not important and not cooperating with the formation?" Kazuma expressed his dissatisfaction passionately.

"Nonsense, they are all so-and-so, and you are the only one, Kazuma. Isn't it you who doesn't cooperate with the formation?" Nie Chiwu looked at Kazuma with disdain: "Quick! Miss Misty! Give him the worst score! Count him to death!"

"No way! My luck has always been good! If you don't believe me, let's play rock-paper-scissors!" Kazuma roared.

"Guess then! Rock, Scissors...Paper!" Nie Chiwu waved his fist, and the next moment the two men attacked at lightning speed.

He Zhen used cloth to instantly kill Nie Chiwu who had used stone.

“Heh.” Kazuma looked at Nie Chiwu with a mocking smile on his face. “You’re just an ordinary person who lost to me…”

"Just He Zhen, just He Zhen..." Nie Chiwu leaned against the wall beside him in grief and anger.

While Nie Chiwu and Kazuma were playing around, Tanjiro sat obediently in front of Misty.

"Ms. Misty! Hello!" Tanjiro said to Misty with a bright smile: "Thank you for helping me with divination!"

"Hello." Misty smiled at the boy in front of her who looked so warm and cheerful. "Then... just draw a card from this pile."

Tanjiro obediently drew a card. Misty was very happy to see it and began to say to Tanjiro, "It's the Sun! This is the most meaningful card in the Major Arcana. The power of the Sun is positive, full of ideals and hope. No darkness can resist its light... It seems to be a very suitable card for you."

"!" He Zhen, who was being pulled by Nie Chiwu at the moment, widened his eyes after hearing Misty's words: "Is it really that effective?"

Tanjiro's personality is indeed very similar to what Misty said. Is it a coincidence?

"Me, me, me!" Yang Wu Lelang also happily read his tarot cards, and then drew out a [Strength] card.

Shirou Emiya was also a little curious, and then drew a card called [Justice].

"What about me? What about me!" Kazuma excitedly rushed to Misty and said, "Let me try too!"

Kazuma excitedly pulled a card from the deck, and then heard Misty say, "Hmm...it's the Grim Reaper."

"Huh?" Kazuma froze.

"Oh! It's the God of Death!" Nie Chiwu repeated from the side.

"Ah!" Kazuma threw down the cards and ran out in grief and anger.

"Wait..." Misty watched Kazuma run away, unable to stop him in time.

"He misunderstood." Misty said helplessly to Nie Chiwu, who had sat down. "Although the Grim Reaper is related to death, it's not that bad. Although the Grim Reaper is always believed to be related to death, there is always a glimmer of hope. It's the so-called 'risk of death, then life'."

"Your calculations are quite accurate." Nie Chiwu scratched his chin. "Although he may seem unreliable at ordinary times, He Zhen is indeed a very important person at critical moments."

"It seems you have a good relationship with him." Misty said, "Please draw a card too."

After Misty shuffled the deck, she placed the tarot cards in front of Nie Chiwu.

Nie Chiwu also turned over the top card in the deck.

"The Fool."

Misty looked at the revealed card and said slowly, "The first card in the Major Arcana is quite special. He walks on the edge of a cliff, carrying his ideals, a rose in his left hand, and his luggage in his right hand. He wanders..."

"He is an adventurer, a challenger who always faces new journeys with strength and vitality... His own ideal country is reflected in his eyes..."

Misty explained the meaning of the card "The Fool" to Nie Chiwu.

"That's perfect for me." Nie Chiwu happily accepted the card he drew, and then saw the news in the gathering that Er Qiao said he and David had arrived here.

"Miss Misty, I have two people here who I'd like to trouble you to do some divination for." Nie Chiwu said, "They are also my friends, and... your divination is really accurate."

"Thank you for the compliment." Misty looked at Nie Chiwu with some curiosity.

Because... the atmosphere and spirit of Nie Chiwu and his group have a different feeling from the style of Night City.

It’s as if... they have never been part of Night City.

While Misty was thinking, Nie Chiwu quickly brought David and Er Qiao in.

Seeing David covered in blood, Misty asked him worriedly if he needed treatment, but David shook his head and said that it was blood seeping out from the replacement of the prosthesis and it would heal soon.

This time, David and Er Qiao sat across the table from each other, facing the deck of cards and each drew a card.

Er Qiao didn't really care about what Nie Chiwu said about divination, but the name of the cards in her hand and Misty's words made Er Qiao's expression serious.

"It's the Hermit," Misty said, looking at the card in Jotaro's hand. "Dressed in a robe, carrying a lantern and leaning on a cane, you grope your way through the darkness alone... As an older person, you retire during the prime of your career. Others don't understand that this is simply a rest for the next golden age."

"But be careful, because in relationships, the Hermit can also chill the other person at a crucial moment... It's a very lonely card."

Misty's words made Jotaro unable to stop thinking about the content of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" that he had seen.

And I, who had the Hermit Purple, just happened to draw this card...

"Damn, it's so accurate." Nie Chiwu marveled at Misty's divination.

David also turned over his own tarot card.

Misty's voice also rang in David's ears.

"This card is the Hanged Man." Misty looked at David, who was covered in blood, and said with some concern: "It symbolizes... sacrifice."

(193 extension) About Tarot (free)

Regarding the Hunters' Tarot, in order to avoid being accused of being pedantic, I will send you a free card to explain it.

Tanjiro – [The Sun]: The card depicts a child riding a horse, praising the vitality of the sun and embracing its energy. The sun symbolizes vitality, the power of hope and ideals, immune to external interference and internal conflict. Even if the dark side of your heart tries to interfere, it will immediately disappear under the sun's rays, so there's no need to worry.

Yang Le - [Strength]: The card shows the goddess of victory bending down to caress a lion. This card symbolizes the relationship between love, strong will and human instinct. The lion represents human instinct, and instinct requires control, comfort and encouragement from reason and will. It is a very suitable card to describe a challenger.

Shirou - [Justice]: The card depicts the goddess of gain seated on a stone chair, a sword in her right hand and a scale in her left. This card represents morality and balance, and the cycle of cause and effect, warning people to be tolerant, abide by morality, and uphold justice. Positively interpreted, it conveys fairness and honesty, but negatively, it can also represent repression and guilt, as well as the struggle and entanglement over choices.

Kazuma - [Death]: The card shows the Death wearing armor and riding a white horse, representing irresistible power. This card is the thirteenth in the Tarot deck, and thirteen also means death, but another meaning of this card is to accept the unchangeable facts in front of you and become great through suffering.

Nie Chiwu – The Fool: The card depicts a young man in fine clothing walking along the edge of a cliff, carrying flowers and luggage. As the first card in the Major Arcana, this card is not part of the sequence, existing as "zero," representing either the beginning or the end of everything. This card also symbolizes travel, adventure, a love of novelty, curiosity, and ideals.

Jotaro - [The Hermit]: The Hermit card depicts a hermit in a robe, carrying a lantern and a cane, groping his way through the darkness alone. This card itself represents exploration and loneliness. Speaking of something related to JoJo itself, exploration is reflected in reading and writing, while Jotaro's experiences in JoJo should explain a lot about loneliness. In addition, the Hermit reversed position can be interpreted as avoiding love... This is you, cheating old thing (

David - The Hanged Man: The Hanged Man depicts a warrior, hands tied behind his back, suspended upside down, with an angel's halo above his head. The Hanged Man symbolizes sacrifice and trial. He understands his sacrifice for others, but even though his body is destroyed, his spirit remains. The Hanged Man is the most challenging card in the Major Arcana, but in a positive sense, it represents a different perspective. It represents recognizing limitations, problem-solving, and embracing humanistic qualities. In love, the Hanged Man represents a time of reflection, bringing inner peace and tranquility... a perfect match for David, especially in the absurd world of Night City.

The above is the specific content extension of Chapter 193. Thank you for watching.

Chapter 194 Jack Wells!

"The Hanged Man...what happened?" David was a little confused.

He didn't know anything about Tarot cards and had never been exposed to such things before.

David had no idea what the Hanged Man meant.

"The Hanged Man is an extension of Justice, the twelfth card after Justice, the eleventh."

"At the same time, the Hanged Man represents an upside-down world. He is Number 12, who has turned the world of Number 21 upside down."

Misty looked at David with a slightly worried expression: "Look at this card."

Misty guided David and the others to look at the Hanged Man card.

A young man was hung upside down from a T-shaped tree trunk with his hands tied behind his back. His hands were tied in a triangle shape and his legs were crossed in a cross shape.

"The keyword for the Hanged Man is sacrifice, which encompasses most of his meaning. He represents sacrifice and ideals, he represents peace and tranquility... He observes the world from another perspective, ultimately understanding its truth. He sees the meaninglessness of life, even though it still permeates his being."

"In terms of relationships, the most common situation for Hanged People is 'misery'. They either fall in love with someone who doesn't love them, or they fall in love with someone they can't be with."

Misty said, "If you think rationally, you shouldn't let this relationship continue. But no matter how much friends and family try to persuade him, he'd rather get hurt than turn back. Why? Because it makes him happy. Even if it hurts, it's the pain he wants, and no one else has the right or the ability to stop him."

Misty looked at David and said, "The Hanged Man gave up everything he had and did what he should have done in his life...but."

"From a reversed perspective, the Hanged Man's sacrifice is likely meaningless, a wasted effort." Misty looked at David, offering a hint of persuasion. "[When the Hanged Man shifts from upright to reversed, it also suggests that he doesn't actually understand what's holding him back]... His sacrifices and efforts ultimately turned to nothing, his wisdom faded, and ultimately, everything was for nothing."

David stood up suddenly, startling Misty who was explaining the Hanged Man to him.

David also noticed his own gaffe and apologized to the frightened Misty.

But Misty's words made David feel a little worried and scared.
