Wu Jin looked at the drawing he’d obtained from Thin Fire. All the previous scattered guesses were sorted through one by one, and he nodded slightly as he turned his thoughts around in his mind: “With the heroic as sacrifices, taking their fates as a game––the card will eventually be revealed.”
“Taking their fates as a game. From the card spread, only the last card is related to this clue––‘10 is your revealed destiny’. That is to say that the sacrificial fight will take place in instance number 10.”
“The card will eventually be revealed. The card refers to the cards in the entire spread. If I’ve guessed correctly, the content of the 10th instance is unknown and variable. Once the cards in 1-9 change, the scene in the 10th instance will also change. The final match isn’t based on a single card, but rather a combination of 10 cards.”
Zoe froze, “10 cards... the instance will be very difficult.”
Wu Jin: “The difficulty will be high, and the pace of the battle will pick up. The goal of the final battle isn’t to determine the winner, but to dedicate all the players whose ‘fate is determined by the divination’ to the god. Their destiny is determined by their past, turning points, future, sincerity, bonds, and fears, corresponding to the entire card spread––”
Wu Jin slowly opened his eyes, “The entire cross-shaped card spread’s purpose is to foretell the final battle and acts as the sacrificial player’s fate.”
Zoe soon understood.
He and Wen Lin discussed amongst themselves, “We’ll head to instance number 10. How many people are left?”
Caesar quickly raised his hand, “38, 38 people!”
Zoe: “Wen Lin and I are going to head over. Little Witch, you guys go ahead and look for 10. The entrance for each instance is limited, so be sure to seize the entrance before the sacrifice begins.”
Wu Jin nodded.
The two of them quickly found the doors connecting to instance number 6. Other than the paths that led backwards, instance number 6 could lead to 7, 8, and 9, but they were unable to find any entrances that led to the instance that represented their ultimate fate, 10.
The most likely possibility––6 connected to 7, 8, and 9, and they had to pass through one of them in order to reach 10.
“Choose one of the three.” Wu Jin summed it up.
There was the sound of gunfire in the distance along the corridor, and it also sounded like the dull thumping sound of a wooden door.
Caesar suddenly spoke up, “Well, we haven’t met Wei Yan and Dolma’s Old Qin and the others yet. Do you think they’re in 7, 8, and 9?”
Wu Jin, Zoe, and Wen Lin: “......”
Compared with the illusory sacrifice, the other big entertainment giants with the same level of strength as White Moonlight were more difficult to deal with.
Wu Jin thought about it, “They should be inside. 38 people, there shouldn’t be many loose trainees left. The rest are basically all powerhouses and should have collected wands cards as well as major arcana that allow them to control the scene. If there’s nothing unexpected, they should all be preparing to head towards instance number 10.”
Caesar immediately retorted, “Then what about that coquettish man who ran in the opposite direction?”
Zoe’s tone was apathetic, “...That guy played with you for two weeks, and you’re becoming sillier day by day. What do you think?”
Wen Lin laughed, “Don’t be nervous. We’re not that far away and can give support at any time. We just need to keep all our members alive. We’re preparing to enter the 6th instance; Little Witch, you guys should pick one, too.”
