Chapter 1 The Fortune Teller on the Streets of New York

The sunlight in the forest shines through the patterns of glass, sprinkles on the neat floor of the shop like broken gold, and also sprinkles between Bai Jinglan's fingers.

He sat comfortably on the lounge chair on the side of the counter, holding a large head in his white right hand.

Under the shattered sunlight, the three large seal scripts written in it, Xu Zhidao, exudes a mysterious glory.

Suddenly, the wind chime at the door rang out crisply, like a clear spring flowing deep in the forest.

"Wow, this wind chime is so pleasant."

"I also want to buy a few items and hang them in the living room. It must feel great."

Two graceful women walked in from outside the door.

A black beauty, a white beauty.

The black beauty dressed in a capable manner, with a simple T-shirt and jeans, without any decorations, but she had a vigorous vitality.

White beauty...well, very familiar faces.

Bai Jinglan's eyes raised from the yellow and rough pages, revealing a hint of curiosity.

Invisible Susan?

Uh... I look much younger and have a very tender face.

It's Marvel Universe 2009, and I haven't heard of the Fantastic Four, so is this a child version of Invisible Woman? Or... another character of Jessica Alba?

Speaking of which, it is not the first time he has seen characters in other American dramas in a few years. Now that a new character of Jessica Alba appears, it doesn't seem like a strange thing.

This Jessica Alba's simultaneous body is about the early twenties, but she looks very mature in dressing, with neat long shoulders and slightly dull old-fashioned glasses, and aura of a female elite in the workplace.

"Hey, bewitched?"

The black beauty was not displeased. She took her legs in casual shoes and walked to the counter and knocked hard.

Bai Jinglan said calmly: "Sorry, I see this lady look familiar, but I thought she had met an acquaintance."

The black beauty turned her head: "Man, this kind of trick to pick up girls has been out of date for too long."

"Whatever you say!"

Bai Jinglan stretched, then straightened his body and walked behind the counter, "Do you two need exorcism or divination?"

Well... This small shop in Brooklyn mainly sells divination and exorcism, and sells various exorcism items.

The black beauty shrugged, pointed to the bustling street outside, and said, "There are too many people outside, can I rest here, can I take a break?"

This is Williamsburg in Brooklyn, and Williamsburg is famous for its expertise in hosting various events. Every summer, there will be various street closure parties. Even main streets like Bedford Street are filled with residents and tourists.

During this period, cars cannot pass through the streets, and people can push strollers, lead their dogs, have a comfortable picnic, chat on the streets in the sun, or buy a cup of coffee and watch the ferry come and go by the river.

"For the beauty's sake, no problem."

Bai Jinglan smiled and took a box of tarot cards from the side, "If you are interested, you can also tell fortunes, yes, it's free."

By the way, he was quite curious about the identity of this Jessica Alba synopsis.

"ha."

The black beauty was having fun and quipped, "If you want Nancy's mobile number, I'll help you."

"Jessica" gave her a blank look and whispered: "Xiaoxi, don't mess around."

"What are you afraid of, it's still early."

The black beauty called "Xiaosi" obviously didn't take it seriously. She sat on the high stool in front of the counter, "Hey, the fortune teller who is very poor at first sight, let me see how powerful your mouth is."

"Uh... this statement is ambiguous, and I don't never make money by verbalizing."

Bai Jinglan fiddled with the tarot cards and looked straight into her eyes, "Xiaoxi, please concentrate and draw three cards."

"You're very interesting."

Xiaosi shrugged and reached out to suck three.

"This lady, oh, can I call you Nancy?" Bai Jinglan pushed the card, "You draw three too."

"All right."

Nancy pursed her lips and sucked three more.

Bai Jinglan opened the six cards one by one, namely: tower, chariot, hermit; magician, power, fool: "These six cards represent your past, present, and future..."

Nancy suddenly raised her hand: "I have also learned about tarot cards, it seems...it's different from your gameplay."

Bai Jinglan stared at the six cards, with a subtle light passing through his pupils, but the old god answered: "What kind of gameplay is not important, and it is not even whether it is a tarot card. What is important is that you connect the imprint of life with the cards... so that I can take a peek into your river of destiny."

Xiaosi held his chin with one hand: "It's so mysterious, what did you see?"

"Um……"

Bai Jinglan finally raised his head, looked at the two of them seriously, suddenly showed a little smile, and took out Xiaoxi's three cards, "I saw your profession... You are police detectives, this time you are going to perform a certain task."

Nancy's hand holding the card froze, and the smile on Xiaosi's face instantly frozen, and her hand quietly touched her waist: "What else?"

This time they are in a secret mission, and they are going to pretend to be a bank executive and exchange hostages with gangsters. If the news is leaked, both hostages and them will be in a fatal danger.

Bai Jinglan continued as if he hadn't seen him, "I also saw your past... The tower represents the changes in interpersonal relationships and careers, and these changes are often sudden and rapid. I guess you have encountered an almost fatal danger in the past few years. This danger has caused you great trouble and has also changed your life in a drastic way."

Xiaosi's hand stopped, and his face changed several times: "Continue."

"Charge."

Bai Jinglan picked out the second card, "You are insisting on resisting the bad past, trying to smash that past in a tough way."

"Herdes."

"Your persistence will cause more trouble. It is recommended that you reflect on it for a while, otherwise one day it will...well, harm others and yourself."

Bai Jinglan's final conclusion made Xiaosi's face look very ugly.

She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was recalling the painful past.

After a long time, she fiddled with the ends of her hair on her forehead and smiled calmly: "I have to say that you still have two tricks. At least it is not a problem to cheat some small money. No wonder she can open a shop in Williamsburg."

Williamsburg was once a poor factory area, but as housing prices in Manhattan became more and more expensive, many white-collar workers and free artists had to "move south" to Brooklyn, which is only a river from Manhattan. Among them, Williams and Boebo are the most popular areas.

In recent years, with the continuous increase in population here, housing prices have gradually been catching up with Manhattan. Some areas have even been side by side with Manhattan. It also requires considerable funds to open a small shop on the main street here.

She ignored Bai Jinglan's suggestion, and Bai Jinglan didn't care, but looked at "Jessica" again, and said in a calm tone: "Your past is dark, darkness gives you a painful life, but it also gives you infinite possibilities, but you are obviously not ready to fight against darkness. You are escaping and fighting negatively, but darkness will eventually come to you again. It is recommended that you better find the power that can overcome darkness as soon as possible..."

Nancy was silent for a while, cleared her throat, and said, "Thank you."

Xiaosi held her arm and stood up: "A very capable charlatan, thank you for your advice to us. Nancy and I are good partners. We also have a bunch of good colleagues who will help her through all the darkness. Now..." She looked at her watch, "It's almost time, it's time for us to do our business."

"See you two next time."

Bai Jinglan smiled and waved his hand, and finally said in a deep sense, "Oh, I wish you success in your actions, but I have another suggestion at the end... It is best not to get close to the abandoned property in the southwest, otherwise unexpected dangers will occur."
