Chapter 833 Ability Is Drawing Cards

"This is……?"

The one-eyed girl Othinus was slightly taken aback, looking at the tarot card in the hand of the person in front of him.

The card shows a person hanging upside down from a tree trunk with his hands tied behind his back.The hands tied behind the back of the Hanged Man form a triangle, and the legs are intertwined to form a cross. When put together, they form a mysterious symbol in alchemy, which heralds the completion of a great cause, and also implies the sublimation from low-level desires to the highest divinity. process.

She is no stranger to Tarot cards. In the field of occultism, Tarot cards are already a very famous concept, and the "Hanged Man" card among them is also considered by many people to be derived from her. After all, Othinus is the great god in Norse mythology who holds the spear of the main god.

only……

Something doesn't seem quite right with this tarot card.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully feeling the throbbing in her heart. This strange feeling was both strange and familiar. This seemingly ordinary Tarot card actually seemed to contain the content shown on the card. The Mythological Concept and Spiritual Person of "The Hanged Man".

If you can get it, then you can give up the plan that you have just formulated before and have not had time to implement.

Relatively speaking, there are too many steps to make the "Lord God's Spear" and it is too troublesome, especially her own special situation, it is very likely that the success or failure of any part of the plan will be unstable... The most important reason is that , since there is a way to directly achieve the goal in front of you, who likes to make things difficult for yourself by looking far away?
With a wave of his white and slender arm, Othinus was very decisive...

Caught empty.

The next moment, she raised her head and stared closely at the magician who directly raised her arms high with the dangerous eyes of a kitten that had been robbed of food.

It seemed that the scene was a bit funny, as if he was bullying his younger sister's brother because of his height, Xia Ran raised his arms high to prevent the petite one-eyed girl from getting the cards in her hand...Of course, only on the surface That's all.

In fact, if Xia Ran hadn't been fighting against this demon god all the time, offsetting any influence and phenomena caused by her in all aspects, then the existence of Othinus alone would shake the minds and minds of everyone around him, and they would be on the verge of collapse. Shocked and frightened to the point of being unable to think.

"Don't worry, this is part of the deal and the reward I can give you in the end...but it must be given to you by me. If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it."

Xia Ran's tone was very calm, and he said with a smile in his eyes, as if he didn't pay attention to the threat in Othinus' eyes at all, as if he didn't see it at all, anyway, there is no real unity Before her own strength, she was actually easy to deal with.

If the "Hanged Man" card was directly given to her, there would be a problem instead.

At that time, Othinus completely got rid of the embarrassing situation that made her do everything [-]-[-], Xia Ran had no way to suppress her, and there was no need for her to cooperate with Xia Ran anymore... This must be considered a little bit.

So you can't just give things to Othinus right now, you have to be patient and induce them slowly.

Xia Ran can be very generous, and can trust others directly at certain times, but this also depends on the situation, so relatively speaking, Othinus's current credit score is not enough for him, and the matter itself is too much. Important, he doesn't want to take unnecessary risks.

"..."

"..."

After trying to kill the opponent with his eyes in vain, Othinus' eyes narrowed, his small face tightened, and he returned to his indifferent expression.

"...What do you want from me?" She asked lightly.

"Help me perfect a very simple spell, and perform it successfully with me." The magician blinked and said without feeling guilty at all. Such a condition, you see, is very simple, right?"

"What kind of spell?" The one-eyed girl got to the point without being affected by the "simple" modifier repeatedly emphasized by the other party.

Being able to easily fight against myself...

Being able to create this Tarot card that is much, much better than the "Spear of the Lord God"...

This person is definitely the strongest magician who has stepped into the realm of gods, and he can't complete the spell independently, and must get his own help...

Can it be called "simple"?Did he have some misunderstanding of simple concepts?I'm afraid this matter is not only extremely difficult, but also very dangerous!Othinus was not familiar with the style of this strange magician, but it did not prevent her from seeing the nature of this matter at a glance.

Othinus considered it for a while, and thought that he could listen to what happened first, and then think about what to do.

"I don't know..." Xia Ran fully showed that she was both unreasonable and confident, anyway, he is Party A's father now.

"Huh? You want me to help you perfect and perform a spell for you. Now you tell me that you don't know what it is?" Othinus' voice couldn't help raising a lot of decibels. Does this guy dare to be more unreliable? ?How dare he say such words.

"Don't panic, I just made such a request first, we can discuss the specific details later..."

The magician said with a smile.

The one-eyed girl looked at him coldly, but she knew very well in her heart that this person was guarding against her own hand. It is impossible for him not to know what the operation he was about to perform, but he would definitely not tell outsiders any information now... In a disguised form, it shows that what this person has to do is very troublesome.

Maybe it's the kind that is the enemy of the world...

Of course, it’s almost the same now. The many magic phases superimposed on the world have been shaken, and the source is this guy. No matter what the reason is, he wants to smash many filters and grasp the real world. He has already offended I don't know how many existences and powers there are.

They will definitely act.

For example, Othinus himself was the one who acted as soon as he noticed the problem, but what she didn't expect was that the other party suppressed her in turn, and seemed to have responded to her visit long ago. She was prepared and offered a reward that moved her quite a bit.

Originally came to ask for trouble, but ended up helping the other party?

Othinus' emerald green eyes were full of indifference, and there was no emotion or change on her expressionless face. She was seriously thinking about whether it was worth it, but this person seemed to be determined by her performance, which made her She is very dissatisfied.

"Do you still have to think about this kind of thing? Be decisive, what is in front of you is an opportunity to become the CEO, become Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life. In the future, it will depend on this experience..." Xia Ran stepped up his efforts, Repeatedly shaking the Tarot cards in his hand.

It's just that he still held the card high, making sure that even if the one-eyed girl stood on tiptoe or jumped up, she wouldn't be able to catch that card.

People who don't know the inside story, looking at his behavior, probably think that this is a very bad brother.

Othinus didn't speak, just took a deep look at him, then turned and left the research institute straight away, the fur coat with the front open was swinging back and forth in the wind, and soon, her figure disappeared.

"Tsk tsk, you are really cautious."

Xia Ran didn't try to stop her, but quietly watched the one-eyed girl leave, and smiled softly.

Othinus did not agree straight away. This was within his expectations, and the other party was not so easily persuaded. This matter was not about going to the market to buy vegetables. It really needed to be carefully considered. If she agreed straight away, he would instead Think about whether to change to a backup plan.

Now it seems that everything is going well...

Looking at the Tarot cards in his hand, the magician smiled and put them away.In his opinion, Othinus has already taken the bait, and the current situation is that the one-eyed girl seems to have no interest in talking to him, and leaves without saying anything, but in fact, she has entered her own rhythm.

Xia Ran only needs to increase his strength in the future.

"..."

"..."

The previous silence was maintained at the scene. Although Othinus' sense of presence did not cause too much pressure to other people around because of the magician, his aura still deterred them and made them dare not speak easily. .

Not to mention the silence and the sound of a needle being dropped, but they all held their breath subconsciously, as if they were afraid that the sound of their exhalation would attract the attention of a certain prehistoric beast.

"Sub-director?" Kamijou Touma finally couldn't help it, and asked cautiously and tentatively.

"Hmm." The magician turned his head to look at him, then nodded, and stretched out his hand to greet him as if he understood something. "Oh, that's right, everyone, let's go eat, it's already this time, let's go, let's not eat in the cafeteria today, I'm treating guests..."

The corner of Kamijou Touma's mouth twitched: "Ah no, I don't care about this..."

And there is no cafeteria in the research institute, even if you add yourself as a temporary worker, there are only three people... ah no, there are only four people, the young man with the hedgehog complained so fiercely in his heart.

This is because of the addition of the Sanwu Miko Himegami Ayusa who just joined the research institute.

Teacher Mushan Chunsheng spends every day on her group of comatose students, even though the director told her that they are fine, but it took too long to fall into a coma and become a vegetative state, and the weak body needs to slowly replenish nutrients , It is impossible for a brain that has been down for too long to be started roughly and then run smoothly.

It's all about giving time.

But Mu Shengchunsheng couldn't be so calm, and devoted most of his energy to taking care of his students, so he couldn't expect the only official researcher in the institute to be in charge of the operation of the cafeteria.

As for the others...

The director must be hopeless. Kamijou Touma’s daily job is to be studied by the director, and Himegami Akisa, like the little girls like Misaka Mikoto, is not here to apply for the position of cafeteria staff... So what are they doing? It's time to eat in the cafeteria.

"Didn't you care about this?" Xia Ran gave the hedgehog-headed boy a strange look, "You have a lot of backbone, boy..."

"Director, don't interrupt, she... who is that girl just now?" Kamijou said seriously, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

The little girl dressed as a witch was obviously a bad visitor. When it came to something that Xia Ran told him not long ago, Kamijou Toma suddenly felt uneasy. No matter what, he couldn't ignore the past. Just ask clearly.

"Didn't you say it? She is Ou Ti..." Xia Ran said without changing her expression.

"Is there any nonsense?" Hedgehog head said frantically with a broken face. It's not like he doesn't understand these concepts at all. You have to pay attention to basic laws when talking nonsense, right?

"..."

"..."

The magician didn't speak, but looked at him quietly, that kind of look was very strange, with a trace of pity and sympathy.

Kamijou Touma suddenly felt his heart ache, he shouldn't have asked this question.

"Just now... did that girl come to ask for trouble?"

At this time, Baijing Heizi finally came to his senses, and looked at Xia Ran in surprise, with even more suspicion in his eyes.

"Also——what do you mean by spells, transactions, etc.? Could it be that you are discussing some bad conspiracy?"

At this moment, she thought of many, many bad things.

There is nothing to be afraid of in Academy City, the most feared are crimes such as premeditated sabotage attacks, such as the previous bank robbery, and various crimes using fantasy masters, as well as the group hunting of incompetent people that happened not long ago. Things that kill people with abilities.

These are all issues that can make the discipline committee's hairline more dangerous day by day, so the perverted girl with ponytails was so excited that she instinctively became suspicious because of her professional habits or her own prejudice against the person in front of her.

It must be so!
The one-eyed girl just now doesn't look like a good citizen. Shirai Heizi has never met a person who can oppress his head to go blank just by standing there, and dare not take a big breath.

Just like a capitalist’s friend must also be a capitalist, so someone Xia who was able to talk and laugh happily with the one-eyed girl just now must also be a capitalist... Ah bah, he must also be a vicious criminal. some criminal schemes!
"How is it possible? The girl just now is a magician, the top one. She came here because something I did recently broke some special laws of this world, so she wanted to stop me. Bar……"

The magician waved his hands again and again, and explained with a sincere face:
"What I just said to her is just a literal meaning. I have a spell... Well, you can understand it as magic, spell models and the like. The construction is not perfect, so I need her help. ..."

Shirai Kuroko blinked his eyes strangely, took two steps back a little later, reached out and pulled Misaka Mikoto's arm: "Sister, have you seen it? It's better not to come to this research institute in the future, this person seems to be mentally ill." has a problem……"

She said in a low voice, feeling that this kind of neurosis cannot be intimate.

It's okay to talk nonsense in a serious manner, but this person seems to be speaking in a serious manner. It seems that he really thinks so firmly, rather than joking.

Misaka Mikoto also had a weird expression, forced a few giggles, but did not answer the girl with twin tails.

Because I know that others will not believe it, so I tell the truth, not only get the expected result, but also satisfy my own evil taste... The tea-haired girl thinks that the useless knowledge has increased.

She took a breath and asked, "She... that Oti, will she come again later?"

"That's for sure, but don't worry, she won't make things difficult for you... By the way, Kamijou, you're not among them, it's best to take a detour when you see her, don't let her cut off your hands..." Xia Ran nodded, Thinking of something again, he turned his eyes to look at the young man with the hedgehog head and said with concern.

Kamijou Touma nodded gratefully: "I see, Director, thank you..."

"Otherwise, if I want to study it later, it will become very troublesome." The magician continued.

"...Thank you..." The hedgehog-haired boy's smile froze, but he said the last syllable out of habit.

"senior."

Saten Renko hesitated for a moment, and asked timidly, "Is that magician... strong?" She was really worried. Although many things had happened before, it seemed that there was never a time like this, where she could It seems to be a headache for the seniors.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the seniors not to take pictures as souvenirs, and it is the first time that digital cameras have not come in handy.

Doesn't this mean that the other party gave him a headache?
Well, that's what Ms. Saten Renko thinks. Although her thinking circuit is a bit strange, it seems that this logic...is not wrong.

"Very strong, a magician who has stepped into the realm of gods, a top-notch existence of a demon god... The situation is indeed a bit embarrassing, and it is a headache." Xia Ran sighed, lowered her head and stroked her precious camera, slender fingertips Gently brushing past, there was some inexplicable regret in the tone.

"It's a headache."

Shirai Heizi also nodded vigorously in agreement, thinking that she might be able to introduce some good psychiatrists to this person.

"Senior...do you have a solution?" the black-haired girl asked in a low voice.

"Yes, she has entered the card pool now, as long as I work harder, I can always get it out..." the magician said as a matter of course.

"what?"

Saten Saten was a little confused.

Blinking her eyes, Xia Ran explained solemnly: "Actually, my ability is to draw cards, and the price is to ship, so from the time she came to me, it was already my turn."
