Zhou Mingrui hesitated. "Free? Free things cost the most," he muttered, deciding to reject any extra services.
If you're that good, try divining that I transmigrated here!
Following a woman with a painted face, Zhou entered a dim tent. Inside, a fortune-teller sat by a table covered in tarot cards. Familiar ones like "The Magician" and "The Emperor" caught his eye.
After some back-and-forth, the fortune-teller asked him to shuffle the deck. Zhou, suspicious of hidden fees, eventually agreed when she confirmed it was free.
The fortune-teller laid out three cards representing his past, present, and future. Zhou chose to see the "present" card first. It revealed "The Fool," symbolizing a new beginning.
Before the reading could continue, another woman barged in, accusing the fortune-teller of impersonation. Turns out, she was an animal trainer! Annoyed, Zhou left the tent.
He then moved on, buying groceries and preparing for a ritual. Following careful steps, he chanted phrases to summon luck. But instead of luck, Zhou found himself engulfed in a mysterious crimson fog, with stars swirling around him.
Elsewhere, Audrey Hall and Alger Wilson, both in different locations, experienced similar bursts of crimson light. Suddenly, they all found themselves in the same foggy place, confused and unsure of what was happening.
