Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

Among the people coming and going, although there are still many people walking on their own, the crowd is obviously much more lively than the busyness and indifference during the day.

For this old city, perhaps night is its true appearance. After all, in addition to danger, tranquility and indulgence are also part of the night.

"Hmm...it seems that the people of Kanbushi City are much bolder than the citizens of Fuyuki."

Roland walked along with the crowd and sighed in a teasing manner.

Yesterday, the casualties caused by the gas explosion at Ogawa Apartment were all on the local news. The police stations were extremely busy, but this helped them crack down on the thugs lurking in the alleys, causing the number of people at night to increase significantly compared to the previous few days. It can only be said to be a pleasant surprise.

Although the same disaster occurred, the citizens of Fuyuki City reacted much more strongly, and basically died down at night.

However, Roland could understand the reason. After all, there were still people working in Fuyuki City. Whether it was the church or the Tosaka family as landlords, covering up the mysterious influence was a necessary task, and the influence on the urban area was much greater.

The wildly growing Guanbuzi City was still far behind in this regard, but this made it convenient for Roland.

He walked to a place, turned around and turned into a dark alley that no one cared about in the brightly lit street.

These alleys that have grown like tumors due to abandoned development plans are a chronic disease in most cities, but the city’s plight can be understood from the fact that even the damaged street lamps are covered in dust and look like no one cares about them, let alone eradicating them.

All adults can do is to warn children to stay away from such places. People from the police station will not deliberately enter here. After all, from a worldly perspective, these alleys also house a lot of scum, which reduces the crime rate from another perspective.

"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a blind man. That's good. I am now looking forward to meeting the real master. If those scumbags ruin my interest, I can only find a few more companions for Aruba."

Roland muttered to himself as he moved skillfully through the alleys. Unlike his previous search for Aozaki Touko, this time he didn't have to spend any effort to find his target. He didn't even need to use the Black Shadow Army.

Because the character named Guan Buzi's Mother has become an urban legend.

Although she possesses the ability of absolute future vision, which is superior to the magic eye, for Guanbuzi's mother herself, using this ability to help people avoid risks is enough to make her feel satisfied.

Therefore, she has been hiding at the end of such narrow alleys, acting as a mysterious fortune teller.

When Roland saw the dim light reappear at the corner ahead, he also saw his target.

At the end of the dead-end alley, there was a table covered with a purple tablecloth with two swaying candles on it.

Rather than serving as a source of illumination, these candles are more likely to be used to create a mysterious atmosphere.

The fortune teller known as Guan Buzi's Mother sat behind the table, wearing a black robe and a black veil. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties, a little overweight, with a hazy veil on her face.

It is hard to imagine that she, who possesses such ability, would appear like this. If someone is not aware of the situation, it is not surprising that they would mistake her for a liar. Even someone like Araya Soren, who can see through the origin, would be confused by this image for a moment.

Although this is a false proposition in itself, because the black-robed monk does not have the future to meet her. Even if he deliberately looks for her, this fate will be avoided.

"Welcome, unexpected guest. Would you like to have a divination?"

The fortune teller behind the table made a kind and unexpected voice and greeted Roland without any tension.

"Of course, that's what I'm here for, after all."

After noticing the gaze staring at him from behind the veil, Roland laughed and walked straight over.

"So, what do you want in return? I can basically fulfill people's wishes."

Roland had just come to the table when his words stunned the fortune teller who was looking at the crystal ball seriously.

"Normally, I'm the one who asks customers about their wishes. This is the first time I've been asked this question by someone else. He's really an amazing person."

The fortune teller looked at Roland with dim eyes, and did not question or express surprise at his words. Instead, he responded in a steady voice.

"But please don't worry about it. It's free for you, little brother. Unfortunately, I can't interpret it for you. I can only tell you part of the direction of the future. After all, to people outside of existence, I'm just an old fortuneteller with blurry eyes."

"So-called absolute future vision, isn't that possible?"

Roland asked curiously.

"Absolutely, but it's only a part of it. The future is nothing more than a different perspective. The means I use to help others avoid misfortune is just to let those who are willing to trust me to gather and replace a new one from their future inventory."

After listening to Roland's words, the fortune teller raised the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.

"And the more special an existence is, the fewer options there are. Eventually, it will be swallowed up by the future, and nothing will be left."

She uttered precious words as if she were whispering a prayer.

“Even if you can see the future, you can’t easily defy fate, because what can’t change the future is not strength or wisdom, but character.”

Roland was silent for a while, then asked thoughtfully.

"So now I have grasped the future?"

"Ah... I can tell you the exact answer to this one thing. There is actually such a thing in the world."

The fortune teller blinked and smiled gently, as if he saw something dazzling, or as if he was giving a blessing.

"Without a doubt, yes. Although it is different from what I expected, you have become the continuation of the dream and the embodiment of happiness. The merit of saving that child from the void is enough for your future in this world to be smooth."

One night many years ago, a girl named Ryogi Ori, who had the same brilliance as the young man in front of her, was recognized by her for such a future, and now, everything is still coming true.

The fortune teller stared at Roland, then slowly lowered his head and did not continue speaking.

"This is the only future I can see. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll die."

Guan Buzi's mother is aware of her own abilities. The future she has described so far is just a scene extended and combined through the ties connected to Roland. After seeing the direction, if she wants to continue looking forward, she will have to understand the nature of the person in front of her.

If that happened, he would definitely die. It would not be a merciful death where his body would be blown into powder and his soul would be torn into countless pieces, but a tragic ending where not even the inside would be able to accommodate his existence.

With just a quick glance, the fortune teller understood that the other person possessed the ancient truth that the legendary hero king could see through the future and that even the most advanced clairvoyance could not reach.

Even with the absolute future vision known as the Eye of God, if one tries to peek, there is only one end: death.

"I understand."

Roland was not dissatisfied. After all, in the level of future vision, the Mother of Guanbuzi in front of him was absolutely the real thing. Being able to deduce a certain degree of the future from the traces he had stained was already a remarkable achievement.

Besides, this wasn't his main purpose anyway.

"Then you should be able to see what happened just through the connection of the traces on my body."

"If it's just a clue or something like that, there should be no problem."

The fortune teller who had just returned from the gates of hell smiled bitterly. Although his face was exhausted, he still nodded in a weak and proud voice.

“You are free to choose the direction, whether it is love or fate, as long as you have a concrete connection with it.”

“I want to know, where is {location} I’m supposed to go?”

"Okay," the fortune teller nodded and prepared to start divination, but he did not look at the crystal ball on the table. Instead, he reached his hand under the table.

As if she noticed Roland's gaze, she explained seriously.

"If it were an ordinary person, I could use crystals to assist my spirit and see everything, but you can't. You must leave a shape in the concrete image through action, so that you can see the future more intuitively and accurately."

Roland nodded slightly.

"So, what method should I use to start divination?"

"I have already started divination. The moment I have this thought, I will not think about anything I do next. This way, the mark of fate will be clear."

Then, Guan Buzi's mother took out a strange deck of cards from under the table.

"This is the card of destiny, the Tarot card. Although young people now prefer to use crystal balls for divination, it is still very reliable."

Guan Buzi's mother gently spread her hands on the table to form an elegant fan shape, and gestured to Roland.

"Choose one of them, it will be a hint of what you seek."

Roland picked one at random and turned it over without waiting for Guan Buzi's mother to make a move.

--world.

Guan Buzi's mother stretched out her finger and tapped the card lightly.

By now, Roland was no longer surprised by this level of hints.

"Don't you need to interpret it? What about upright and reversed..."

"It's not that troublesome. To me, the complicated process is just a ritual to catch those who know nothing. I just need to look at the traces."

The fortune teller made a statement that would move the magician. Divination technology is also a very popular subject in the Clock Tower. In order to explore the possibilities, the specific rituals have been innovated countless times.

But since such words were spoken by Guan Buzi's mother, who had absolute foresight into the future, even Roland could not find any reason to refute them.

"The World card itself symbolizes perfection, the end, and the beginning. The place you want to know is the position when the new moon rises. At that time, whether it is gravity, time, or fate, it will connect the causes of everything and achieve the final balance."

Guan Buzi's mother stroked the cards, her eyes gradually becoming dazed.

Her future vision started again.

"You will find the answer to your location in your not-too-distant future. I saw... the location of your future self, the place that symbolizes the new moon, it is... in the {past}."

"past?"

"Yes," Guan Buzi's mother also smiled bitterly, "To be specific, it should be a few years ago. The location you need existed in that time period."

Roland was stunned for a moment, his expression a little subtle. {Shi} had said similar words before, asking him to go to the past to establish a bond and complete a ritual.

Turns out, it was meant literally?

"In the past... do I really have to go back?"

Roland lowered his eyes slightly and did not give any specific comments, but nodded in understanding.

"And one more thing,"

He paused and continued to ask: "I want to know what the last soul I need is like?"

Roland drew out another tarot card and pushed it towards the fortune teller.

It was the same strange question, but Guan Buzi's mother just looked at the card in front of her with a serious look again and turned it over carefully.

Soon, Roland also lowered his head and looked at the unfolded cards.

That was an answer he didn't expect.

"Star?"

"Yes, stars, the light born from the chaotic darkness, stars as bright as gold."

The fortune teller said lightly, "The fate of the stars is the starting point of the world's happiness. Although I don't know who the specific object is, I can be sure that the last soul has a destiny born from darkness, but with a spirit as dazzling as gold."

“It may be related to you, but it hasn’t appeared yet. If you meet someone who has both of these qualities in the future, it will be the answer you have been waiting for.”

"What a beautiful fate this is," Guanbuzi's mother looked at the tarot card with an intoxicated look in her eyes. "As long as you can follow this guidance, the sacrifices of others will only bring you happiness, and your glory will never run out."

Although there were some differences, the description given by Guan Buzi's mother was extremely close to the golden spirit that Roland had heard of. To find such an object, one must have the innate conditions of being born from evil...

"Thank you," Roland nodded to the tired old man without commenting on the answer. "You have the wisdom to see through the essence of things, but you are willing to set up a stall on the roadside. Although I don't know why you do this, I will keep this wish for you as a sign of respect."

He turned around and walked away.

Under the candlelight, the fortune teller laughed happily, which lasted for a full minute before stopping.

I don't know whether she was satisfied or her stomach was cramping from laughing.

In her eyes, the bright future was being overturned one by one. Even those vague memories that she had forgotten, not sure whether they were good or bad, were not spared, as if they had just happened yesterday.

These are all manifestations of the consequences she has already caused.

"There is no need for that..."

After Roland's figure completely disappeared, the fortune teller's whispers were heard from the deep alley.

"My real wish has been fulfilled."

The reason why the fortune teller known as the Mother of Guanbuzi chose to set up a stall was very simple: she simply hated misfortune and liked happiness.

This reason has nothing to do with wealth or fame; it is her original motivation.

And just now, she had seen the means that would change human beings and bring them to a state of true happiness.

Chapter 187 Reunion with Aozaki Orange

The next morning, although Roland told her not to go to class, Asagami Fujino still got up early.

She has gotten used to this kind of life these days. She attends classes normally, goes home, chats casually with Miss Mana and Miss Liangyi, and eats with everyone like a family in the evening. In her free time, she also learns a lot of knowledge about the other world, which is as interesting as the wizards in the stories.

When it gets late at night, I decide whether to wear earplugs to sleep tonight or use them as a side dish, depending on the sound insulation effect. After using them, I fall asleep with shame and expectation.

She was very grateful for her current life. Although she had only just started to get along with Roland during this period, Asagami Fujino could clearly feel her sense of security growing day by day.

Therefore, she also cherishes everything she has now and does not intend to give up the task of making breakfast just because of rest. After all, if they don't rely on her, neither Miss Zhenming nor Miss Liangyi will be very enthusiastic about this task.

However, to her surprise, the living room was already brightly lit in the early morning, and Roland, who should have stayed in bed for a long time before getting up, was sitting on the sofa and talking to someone.

"You're up really early, Fujino. If you don't have classes today, you can sleep a little longer."
