Success.
He had pletely bee someone valued by the core leadership of the Tower of Tarot.
As long as he put in a bit more effort, dealing with them would bee easier and more convenient, and he could acplish that task.
——Dig out their true forms on Earth!
"I see, Old Xu, how about you help him take a look?" The Swordswoman said.
"Indeed, this is not a small matter." Cang Nanyan added.
Xu Xingke pondered for a moment and said:
"Alright, I’ll take a look."
He reached into the void and drew out a card.
This card depicted a shimmering river, reflecting countless moments of time from the mortal world.
"Don’t move."
Xu Xingke aimed the card at Zhang Yang.
"What is this for? Is it a technique or something else?" Zhang Yang asked with a wary smile.
Xu Xingke was about to explain when he suddenly remembered the witch’s warning.
So he changed his words:
"This card can push your entry forward to see what entry it will bee in the future—"
"If we know what the future entry is like, you should be able to find a way."
Everyone nodded at this.
Zhang Yang also said gladly:
"This indeed seems to be the only way—does this card have any other functions?"
"Other functions?" Xu Xingke glared at him, "This card can hold only one ability, any more and it’ll break."
"I don’t know, just asking." Zhang Yang scratched his head, smiling sheepishly.
——Since it’s just about deducing entries, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Maybe it could spark some inspiration.
"Let’s begin."
He said.
Xu Xingke nodded slightly, retrieved the card, facing it toward himself, with the back toward Zhang Yang.
The card was immediately activated.
"Mirrored River Deep Flow."
"Tarot Secrets System Fifty-One and a Half."
"Description: Observe the reason behind the entry’s formation, providing secret Dharma Realm suggestions for the entry’s development."
The card quietly revealed a scene.
The moment the entry was formed——
It was in the Nightmare World.
Shen Ye appeared.
He was talking to a "Xu Xingke":
"Teacher... give me that thing I want."
"Xu Xingke" sighed and replied: "Alright, I really can’t refuse you, what do you want?"
There was a sudden ’clang’ sound.
A word appeared above "Xu Xingke’s" head:
"Dingdang Cat."
Seeing the scene on the card, Xu Xingke’s hand trembled slightly, and he put the card away.
Facing the curious gazes of the Swordswoman and Cang Nanyan, he said calmly:
"This is a public place; the advancement of entries involves personal privacy and relates to one’s bat prowess."
"After dinner, I’ll find somewhere private to tell Brother Zhang Yang."
Reasonable!
Not only did the Swordswoman and Cang Nanyan agree, but even Zhang Yang thought he had considered things thoroughly.
Effortlessly, the topic shifted.
The meal ended.
Xu Xingke lit a cigarette, happily finished it, and was about to light another.
The Swordswoman nudged him: "Hey, people are waiting, can you think of the young ones for a change?"
Only then did Xu Xingke stand up and motion to Zhang Yang:
"Let’s go, we’ll address your issue first, I need to practice boxing later."
"Thank you for your effort." Zhang Yang quickly stood up to follow.
The two walked back to the spaceship.
"Shall we go to my room, or yours?" Xu Xingke asked casually.
"Let’s go to mine." Zhang Yang gave him a glance.
"Alright." Xu Xingke immediately changed direction, showing no concern on his face, even exhaling a puff of smoke and lighting another cigarette.
All seemed normal.
Zhang Yang relaxed and led him back to his room.
The door closed.
A sword suddenly appeared from the void, piercing through Zhang Yang, pinning him firmly to the metal wall.
It was the Swordswoman!
"Don’t move—this sword is called Soul Severer, if you dare make any move, it will slice your soul."
Xu Xingke said expressionlessly.
Cang Nanyan emerged from behind him, hands forming a seal, and shouted:
"Circulation Sealing Array!"
The void rippled, then filled with dense runes, adhering to the metal walls, surrounding Zhang Yang at the center.
The Sealing Array was set!
Zhang Yang was trapped, his face showing shock:
"Have I done something wrong, seniors? Why treat me like this?"
The Swordswoman and Cang Nanyan remained silent.
They were just following orders, unaware of what had transpired.
Xu Xingke, holding a cigarette in his mouth, flipped the card to face the three.
The card continued replaying scenes between "Xu Xingke" and Shen Ye.
The Swordswoman spoke with a half-smile:
"So, you’re that kind of Dingdang Cat."
"Even I was nearly fooled by this Dingdang Cat, really close!" Cang Nanyan added.
Zhang Yang looked at the flashing scenes on the card, momentarily speechless.
This is... wrong...
Did I allow others to use a card to deduce my entry?
Why?
Would I do something so foolish?
Usually, I’m so cautious, why make such a rookie mistake today?
Can’t prehend it at all.
"Traitor, I have many questions for you."
Xu Xingke declared.
He retrieved the Tarot Book, flipping through the pages.
——The book contained many methods to make a traitor reveal the truth.
...
Earth.
Huaguo.
A certain city.
An internet cafe named "Transcendence."
Shen Ye was surfing the internet.
He typed a line in small letters:
"Seek prehistoric relics, fragments of various creations, begin."
He pressed the Enter key.
The screen immediately displayed a line of big characters:
"Please wait, connecting to network, activating all settings, resurrecting from this world."
