Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Every plate was clean as if it had no food on it.

"Well, do you believe me when I say this was an accident?"

"Are you full?"

Beichen did not answer Nan Xi, but asked Nan Xi if she had eaten enough.

Nan Xi rubbed her belly and said, "I'm full now. After all, I ate a lot in the afternoon."

"Then let's go."

"it is good."

The two simply cleared the table as before (what's so easy to clean), sent the tableware to the designated location and left the canteen.

Walking in the corridor of Rhode Island, it was Bei Chen who spoke first again.

"Maybe I shouldn't ask, but I still want to ask, what was the result of your divination in the distant mountains? After you came out, you looked like you were hesitant to speak."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

Nan Xi thought for a while and then said.

"It's just that I will spend less time with you in the next period of time. Although I don't know the specific reason, that's what Miss Toyama told me."

Beichen frowned and asked, "How did she see this?"

"I don't know. Anyway, she said at the time that it was based on... uh, the clarity of her destiny?"

Good guy, if there is a bug in Yuanshan, people who are related to me will not be able to see it, but people who have nothing to do with me will be able to see it clearly. Reverse divination, right?

Wait, Beichen suddenly thought of another question. He wanted to test whether his idea was correct now.

"By the way, there is also a divination about tarot cards, and the results are a bit..."

"Wait a minute, Nan Xi, let's go to the distant mountains again. I have some questions that I want to verify."

Before Nan Xi could react, Beichen grabbed her hand.

"What, let's go there again. Didn't you just come back from there this afternoon?"

Nan Xi asked as she followed Bei Chen.

"Don't ask so many questions. Just come here. You will know when the time comes."

A few minutes later, Beichen and Nan Xi arrived outside the divination hut in the distant mountains.

Beichen said: "This time I will go in with you."

Nan Xi asked alertly: "What do you want to do?"

Beichen waved his hand quickly and said, "I don't want to know any of your secrets. In fact, if you don't want to do this, I can find someone else."

"Whoever says I don't agree with it, don't ask anyone else."

This time it was Nan Xi's turn to pull Beichen in.

Here, in the divination cabin, Yuan Shan was holding her chin, eating the cake Beichen bought for him in the afternoon. The sudden appearance of Beichen and Nan Xi almost made her choke.

If it goes bad, it’s another unforeseen result.

Yuan Shan quickly put away the cake and asked: "Do you two need any help? We can provide free after-sales service here~"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just have a guess that I want to test. Please give Nan Xi another divination."

Yuanshan looked at the two of them and asked, "Is it the same as in the afternoon?"

Beichen replied: "Yes, how did you perform divination for Nan Xi in the afternoon? You will still do that now."

"Okay, then Nan Xi, let's do what we did in the afternoon."

Yuan Shan took out the crystal ball again and motioned Nan Xi to put her hand on it.

Beichen looked at the two of them quietly from the side, he wanted to know the answer.

Answers to your conjectures about fate.

Chapter 88 The known future should not be the real future

After a moment, Yuan Shan's face showed a surprised expression, and she murmured to herself: "This has never happened before..."

She looked up at Beichen and asked, "Did you do something?"

Beichen had a thoughtful expression on his face and said, "No, I probably didn't do anything. Miss Yuanshan, can I ask you to do another divination?"

Yuan Shan shook his head and said: "No, you cannot divine multiple times on the same issue. Generally speaking, the first result is the most accurate. Even if you divine multiple times later, you will usually get similar results. , or even changing for the worse.”

"but."

Yuan Shan paused and continued: "It will never come to a completely different result like now."

Beichen asked towards the distant mountains in front of him: "Nan Xi told me that the approximate result of the divination in the afternoon was that I would spend less time with her in the next period of time. What about this time just now?"

Putting his hand down from the crystal ball, Toyama replied: "The result is, I can't get the result."

Yuan Shan spread his hands and said helplessly: "Just like the divination on you, I just got the same result on Nan Xi, so I asked you if you did something."

Beichen shook his head and said, "No, there is another possibility, that is, Nan Xi will be by my side for the rest of the time."

"you mean......"

Toyama frowned and said in a questioning tone.

"This is also the reason why I brought Nan Xi here again. I want to know what impact my ability will have on the Origin Stone technology of prophecy, or, to a greater extent, on the so-called destiny."

Yuan Shan's brows furrowed even more tightly. After a long time, she said, "I have never encountered such a situation. Maybe... I can try another divination for Nan Xi."

"Then please."

Beichen nodded.

Nan Xi just looked at the side with a confused face. What on earth are you two talking about? Why can't I understand? Why do I feel like I'm an experimental product?

But she obediently put her hand on the crystal ball again.

Beichen was still waiting for the final result.

"Well, you have absolutely no way of knowing what a heavy blow this is to a fortune teller. Perhaps it is just like how they felt after announcing to a group of physicists and researchers that 'physics no longer exists' Likewise, divination may not exist anymore, at least that’s how I feel.”

Yuan Shan moved her hand away from the crystal ball again. This time she covered her face and continued: "The result this time is that I can see everything, even what Nan Xi will eat for lunch tomorrow. , There has never been a divination result as clear as this before."

Beichen was stunned. He still didn't understand whether his ability could interfere with fate or whether fate was playing tricks on him.

There seemed to be no point in trying anymore. Looking at Yuan Shan who was still covering his face in front of him, Beichen couldn't bear to disturb her anymore. After all, the results of these divination may bring a lifelong psychological shadow to her.

"Then, Yuanshan, shall we leave first?"

Beichen asked tentatively.

Yuan Shan took his hands away from his face, lowered his head and said, "Don't leave... You are not allowed to leave."

"You...what do you want to do?"

Beichen looked at the distant mountains in front of him and felt a little scared.

It's not like you want to give me up and change your destiny. In that case, should I obey or resist?

Just when Beichen was thinking wildly, Yuanshan said the second half of the sentence.

"Remember to bring me another piece of cake as reward."

Beichen looked at Yuanshan, with a smile on her face again, and said to Beichen: "About prophecy and destiny, I definitely can't figure it out on my own, so just don't think about her, at least not Everyone is as special as you, maybe you can really escape the thread of fate."

Yuan Shan looked at Beichen, winked playfully, and expressed her opinion.

Yes, Beichen also figured out that instead of paying too much attention to things like fate, it would be better to go to the pier to order French fries.

Just like in the afternoon, Beichen bought another cake from the cake shop next to him and gave it to Yuan Shan, then waved goodbye to her.

"Brother, what on earth are you and Miss Yuanshan talking about? Why didn't I understand it well?"

After leaving the divination cabin in the distant mountains, Nan Xi turned her head and asked Beichen.

"It's okay if you don't understand. We are talking about something very profound. I forgot to ask her just now. Let's see what you have for lunch tomorrow."

Nan Xi asked in confusion: "So the ability of divination is used for this?"

"Just for example, I can even predict what you will eat for lunch tomorrow, let alone anything else."

Nan Xi followed Bei Chen and thought for a while, then asked, "Brother, tell me, what would you do if you could know what your future will be like next?"

"Can I only see my own?" Beichen asked.

Nan Xi nodded.

"Then I will just take out the sword and stab myself to death, and let the future fuck me, unless the predetermined fate prevents me from even being able to take out the sword."

Nan Xi was startled and asked: "Why? Isn't it a good thing to know your future in advance? Based on the future you know, you can change your current behavior and then see the future that has been modified by you. This way you can choose the future that is best for you, right?"

Beichen was silent for a moment and asked: "Based on the situation you have conceived, how far into the future can you see from the current time?"

Nan Xi replied without hesitation: "Time is infinite, until that person dies of old age."

Beichen also immediately asked: "Then you can see such a distant future. Isn't it like watching a movie that has been spoiled in advance? So is there any need to continue watching?"

Nan Xi thought silently, and Beichen continued: "And this is not even a spoiler, but as long as you think about it, you can see the scene corresponding to the corresponding time point in the movie. After watching this scene, you even have to be patient. I had the nerve to watch the entire movie.”

"Well, indeed, what if it is changed to predict the future in a small time period? For example...ten minutes?"

Beichen thought for a while and answered: "This is quite good, but life will still lose a lot of fun. A long time ago, I read a novel, and a plot impressed me deeply. The male protagonist also Possessing the ability to predict the shorter-term future.”

"That day, he saw an ice cream truck on the street, so he wanted to buy a cone, and his ability told himself that he would buy a strawberry flavored one."

"He laughed because he knew he preferred to eat chocolate-flavored cones. However, when he told the clerk that he wanted to buy a chocolate cone, the clerk told him apologetically that the chocolate cones had been sold out and only strawberries were left. of."

"What about the follow-up?" Nan Xi asked.

"The follow-up is that he still bought a strawberry-flavored cone. I don't know why he had to buy it. He obviously didn't have to buy it, which proves that his ability was wrong, but he still bought it. What does this mean?"

Looking at Nan Xi, who had been thinking for a long time and still couldn't come up with a result, Beichen said: "This is why diviners cannot predict themselves. People who are superstitious about the future will eventually become slaves of the future, or in other words, slaves of fate."

Beichen suddenly remembered an unlucky guy who had the ability to predict the future. His ability was to see his future a few seconds later. Then that day, he curiously picked up a ball, and then he saw himself because of the contact. He died from a poisonous ball.

However, Beichen feels that this ability is quite useful. In a few seconds, he can avoid some dangers without making life boring because he can predict the future. (But the death of the ability owner is too abstract, so I can’t comment on it)

"Indeed." Nan Xi commented: "Knowing too much about the future is not necessarily a good thing."

"So, what else did Yuan Shan tell you? I feel like you've hidden a lot."

Beichen continued to ask, but Nan Xi just shook her head and said, "It's nothing, the rest are just some vague prophecies."

"Well, okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first?"

Beichen had no intention of continuing to ask questions. It was already getting late, so he proposed to part ways.

"Well, I'm quite happy to have you with me today, so I'll see you tomorrow."

Nan Xi nodded, and Beichen left first. Just kidding, playing games is the most important thing.

Nan Xi stood silent for a while. Perhaps the result Yuan Shan got was vague, but after telling Nan Xi, Nan Xi got a clear answer in her heart.

She couldn't help but remember the three tarot cards she drew out this afternoon.

Priestess, Queen, Temperance.

Chapter 89 You are cheating, right?

After parting ways with Nan Xi, Beichen naturally walked quickly towards the game arcade that he had longed for.

It's just under seven o'clock now, which is quite early. I think we can still play for a long time, provided that there are no emergencies.

With brisk steps, Beichen arrived at the door of the game hall. Different from last time, there were many more people in the game hall this time, and there were quite a few familiar faces among them.

For example, Beichen saw a guy holding a controller and wailing at a glance.

"Ahhhhh, how could this happen? No, let's try again. I must beat you once today."

The opponent who was fighting him next to him said expressionlessly: "With all due respect, it is impossible for you to beat me with this kind of operation."

"Hmph, there's no point in talking. Let's fight! If I lose, I'll order you a drink."

"But you've already lost thirteen drinks to me."

"Ahhhh, I don't care!"
