Wu Jin put back the book with the QR code and asked quickly, “Brother Caesar, what scarf are you talking about?”
At this time, the door to the interview room opened, and Wei Yan came out with a stiff expression on his face.
Behind him, the divination instructor Sinra was still talking endlessly, “I see a lively and unrestrained spirit in Little Wei’s body, which is your natural disposition and nature that hasn’t been extinguished…”
The two stage managers in charge of the audio looked at each other, “Is he talking about Contestant Wei??”
Wu Jin greeted Wei Yan, then pushed open the door and walked inside.
The divination master Sinra immediately showed a soft smile, “What a strange wheel of life! Dear, I think you and metaphysics are predestined. Let me give you 100 fortune telling coupons for the Centaurus Society. You can arrange a draw and give them to your fans if you can’t use them all.”
Wu Jin was in a daze, “… Thank, thank you, instructor…”
Sinra’s spirits continued to rise, “Little Witch is one of the only two who saw through the entire competition clearly. Instructor Sinra favors you quite a lot.”
There was a click, and the virtual projection opened up.
The map for the third elimination match was displayed in front of their eyes, and Wu Jin looked up, his eyes wide.
The six cards were set up across a cross, and four cards were scattered loosely next to them, forming the reflection of a cross when connected together.
Sinra followed the script and finished asking the interview questions, then gestured for Wu Jin to look at the screen.
“The Celtic Cross, one of the oldest and purest card formations in the Waite Tarot. In 1888, a group of mystical scholars founded the Golden Dawn Society in London, England, and taught this spread to their disciples.”
“It was an era that’s now known as legend.” Sinra smiled slightly, “European metaphysics, as represented by Hermeticism, was at its peak––a combination of astrology, alchemy, tarot, and Kabbalah that had amazing vitality.”
He handed a stack of tarot cards to Wu Jin and asked warmly, “Does Little Witch believe in metaphysics?”
Wu Jin paused slightly. As a 21st century youth who grew up under the light of materialism, he trusted science and technology more than metaphysics. His reply was polite, “The concept is very attractive.”
Sinra nodded to acknowledge his words and wasn’t surprised, “Metaphysics is a mentor for the mind, and I would prefer to describe it as ‘channeling the mind’ than ‘superstition’. Take tarot as an example – it opens up a warm atmosphere for communication and places diviners in a comfortable psychological state, allowing them to mediate their emotions and comb through their perceptions. To this day, tarot cards are still one of the complementary therapy methods that many psychiatrists are good at.”
Wu Jin was surprised and raised his head to look at the instructor.
Sinra had a common Viking immigrant lineage that was prevalent in Centaurus. He was tall, and his voice was deep. He shrugged again, “If you like it, there’s no harm in trusting it.”
“Some people say that the rapid development of science and technology will inevitably lead to a decline in metaphysics. I personally don’t believe it.” Sinra laughed and continued, “In fact, ever since the 14th century, mysticism has always been connected with science and technology. In particular, in alchemy and astrology, many sages would spread their research results in the form of a ‘pseudo code’, under the guise of wisdom from Hermes so as to avoid severe religious persecution and lay out the foundation for science and technology. Do you remember the last hymn before the sacrifice?”
Wu Jin was fascinated by this and immediately nodded, “Under my guidance, miracles have evolved. I, with triple wisdom, am known as the thrice-greatest. I am Hermes.”
Sinra was shocked and looked at Wu Jin again. He seemed to marvel at his memory, “The lyrics come from the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, and the one who translated it from Latin was a physicist, Isaac Newton.”
Wu Jin’s eyes lit up instantly.
Sinra rolled up his sleeves as his good mood expressed itself, “Come, I’ll do a divination for you. Out of the 78 major and minor arcana cards, everyone has the card that suits them the most––Little Witch’s is, hm, the Wheel of Fortune!”
Wu Jin froze, swiftly covering up his sudden fierce and intense heartbeat.
After memorizing cards for a full two weeks, he remembered the meaning behind each card very clearly.
Sinra continued, “Your fate is special, and you’ve changed orbits once before––eh, it must be that something extraordinary happened, or a big jump around, how could space and time have changed? … The Wheel of Fortune not only changes oneself, but also the most important person around them…”
The divination master gushed on, but when he lifted his head up again, he saw that Contestant Wu seemed unexpectedly stiff.
Wu Jin hurriedly came back to his senses, his thoughts no longer caught up in his transmigration, “Thank you, instructor.”
Sinra smiled like a fox, “You’re welcome. By the way––the Wheel of Fortune will change at least once. If you lose your way, remember to follow your heart.”
Wu Jin’s eyelids twitched.
On the other side, Sinra had already changed topics, his thoughts going in all directions, from card calculations to the diviner qualification examination, to his association’s revenue over the years. He even suggested holding psychic talent show activities in order to attract Star Net traffic, and so on.
The director to the side was already used to it. When the interview time was up, they would step in and intervene.
“Do you have any more questions?” When it was almost over, Sinra raised his brows and asked, “What is Little Witch thinking?”
Wu Jin was careful not to ask anything about fate again, “Instructor mentioned just now, the other person who saw through the instance is––”
The two of them came to the break room and Sinra casually opened a bottle of water, “Oh, your lover… The Lovers card teammate you were matched with.”
Wu Jin froze slightly. The big boss had clearly avoided all the cameras!
On the other hand, Sinra was still talking, “He must have some ability to not be caught on camera at all other than in that instance. At the end, he was also eliminated just before the final round. People in our business need to rely on our emotional intelligence for a living. How can we fool others if we can’t see a little thing like this clearly?”
“Speaking of which, you two have a good relationship in private, right? Your cards are very well-matched.”
Wu Jin scratched his head, “N-no…”
He then thanked the instructor and left.
Sinra touched his chin, then went back to the studio to wait for the next contestant. He made small talk with the director as they waited, “Little Witch is really cute. He’s rubbing his face while he walks.”
By the time Wu Jin came out of the interview room, the curtains had already fallen on dusk, and night covered the Crosson base.
The campfire burning in the middle of the lawn was exuberant, and the food all gave off enticing smells. At one end of the lawn, the team leaders of the various teams were all lining up at a long table to collect ingredients for the meal.
Caesar seemed to think that their own grill cooked food too slowly and shuttled among the teams like a ghost, poking his head out from time to time, “Heheh, this looks delicious, give me one too…”
Wen Lin was still in the interview room, and Zoe came back with a plate of food and frowned. Caesar had taken advantage of him not watching over him to clear out all the kebabs on the grill, leaving only a few vegetables over the fire.
Wu Jin was sitting obediently in front of the grill, conscientiously turning the vegetables.
“Little Witch is back!” Zoe’s heart immediately turned soft. He picked up a stick of hot and steaming peppers and handed them to Wu Jin to eat, “What was the interview about?”

This divination master finally showed a pleased expression, like he’d just managed to sell someone on something, “There are many ways to perform divination. Tarot cards are just one of them. When you acknowledge the deck, it will acknowledge you.”Sinra rolled up his sleeves as his good mood expressed itself, “Come, I’ll do a divination for you.
