Chapter 129 - An Ominous Divination Result (1/2)

It was not long before Gu Ding and the others saw Mi En.

Mi En looked to be around 20 years old. He was tall and thin and had gold-framed glasses that rested on his pale face. He looked like a student who came from a non-military school rather than an Interstellar Pirate.

He sat cross-legged in the middle of the street with a huge card placed on his chest. It wrote, “Foresee your good or ill luck, ten thousand Star Credits for a session.”

He smiled when he spotted Gu Ding. “Gu Ding, I would never have expected to see you here.”

“We just bumped into An Luo. He told us you were here.”

“Is there something you need from me?” Mi En was surprised and quickly composed himself.

“Do you want me to predict your future?”

Gu Ding nodded. “An Luo told me about it and it sounded interesting. Predict the future for all three of us.”

Mi En stood up. “Even though I’m really happy to have met you here, my divination doesn’t come free to anyone. Even my crew members have to pay for it and I only take cash. You should be aware that there is a price to pay every time we use our ability.”

Under normal circumstances, those with special abilities would need to pay a price after using their abilities, some even end up with permanent side effects. Gu Ding was already aware of this.

“Do you guys want to foresee your future together?” Gu Ding turned to look at Biggie and Liliath.

“I’m not interested. You two can go ahead,” Liliath folded her hands in front of her chest and shook her head.

Gu Ding paid twenty thousand Star Credits in cash. “Let’s start.”

Mi En took out a golden metal table from his inventory and strange energy appeared from his hand. It slowly transformed into a deck of cards.

Gu Ding and Biggie stared at it in a daze as it happened. Liliath was the only one who seemed used to this sort of thing.

After cutting the deck of cards a few times, he placed them on the table with the back of the deck facing up. Then, he spread it out across the table.

“Pick a card. Before turning it over, think about the question you’d like to ask,” Mi En looked towards Gu Ding.

Gu Ding reached out to pick a card. He raised his head and stared off into space. It was difficult to tell what he was thinking. After a while, he flipped the card over.

There was a picture of a flood on the card. An entire village had been submerged in the flood and only the roofs of the houses could be seen.

“The card seems like an ominous sign,” Gu Ding did not understand divination, but it was easy to tell that nothing good had been shown in that picture of the card.

“I’m guessing your question has something to do with your crew,” Mi En picked up the card and looked at the picture on it.

“A flood represents disaster. This would be a disaster that does not only involve you alone, it would involve the people around you. There are five submerged houses from the village in the picture. This means that you and four of your friends will soon be met with danger.”

Mi En stopped here and gave Gu Ding a curious look. “Your crew isn’t made up of just three people, is it?”

Gu Ding smiled and did not answer his question. According to what Mi En had just told him, Neptune and Robert might be entangled in whatever mess was headed their way.

“Of course, this is none of my business,” Mi En did not continue with his questioning when he saw that Gu Ding was not willing to answer.
