Monster Hunter Gathering

"I now really suspect that Misty has some magical power." Nie Chiwu was also dumbfounded looking at the cards in Misty's hand.

The tarot cards that Misty read for V in the game predicted V's future.

Now, after Misty drew a single tarot card for David, it was as if she had read David's entire script, and she directly gave him an analysis of his future that was almost exactly the same.

"Don't worry. Even the fate predicted by the Tarot cards will not affect your entire life." Misty said this as she looked at David who seemed to be showing some fear.

It was the first time she saw someone with such an expression after listening to her analysis, as if the other party completely believed what she said about divination.

"Life as a whole cannot be simply predicted with tarot cards, so please rest assured that even if there are some bad results, you can eventually overcome them."

"I..." David's lips moved, his mind full of the analysis that Misty had just said and the corresponding images of his own future in Edgewalker.

sacrifice.

Falling in love with someone you can't be with.

Falling in love with a relationship that, according to rational considerations, should not continue.

While David was lost in thought, Nie Chiwu placed his hand on his shoulder: "What are you worried about? Fate is nothing!"

"Even if fate has us by the neck, we must struggle and give fate a good kick in the ass!"

"Grandmaster, I'll help you!" Nie Chiwu said to David, arm in arm. "As Grandmaster, can I still watch the members of the assembly suffer?"

"If you keep on getting hung up on me, I'm going to give you a good punch!" Nie Chiwu said, "So you can wake up!"

"Ah...?" David was confused for a moment: "Why is it a beating? Shouldn't it be comforting?"

"I don't have that much time to comfort others!" Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows. "If anyone isn't ready to pull themselves together and do what they should do, then I'll do it."

"In a world of monsters, all life is fighting tooth and nail to survive. Hesitation... is a luxury."

"Didn't you hear everything just now? Look at the world from another perspective!" Nie Chiwu patted the newly installed Sweepstan on David's back. "Even if you risk your life for others, you have to know what you should fight for!"

David was stunned after hearing what Nie Chiwu said. He took two steps back and leaned directly against the wall of Misty's shop and sat down at the base of the wall.

"【When the Hanged Man changes from upright to reversed position, it also means that the Hanged Man actually cannot understand what is binding him】..." David repeated what Misty just said and grabbed his face. His cold fingers absorbed the warmth on his cheeks, making him feel a little sober.

"What binds me is...what binds her is..."

David began to think seriously about everything about himself at this moment.

However, the door of Misty's psychic shop was pushed open, and in walked a cheerful man who looked particularly familiar to everyone present.

"Hey! Misty... eh? You have business?" Jack pushed open the door of the psychic shop and walked in with a happy face, then raised his chin and showed a refreshing smile to Nie Chiwu: "Dude! Misty's divination is very effective! You guys are here!"

"Jack!" Nie Chiwu's eyes lit up when he saw Jack walk in: "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see...huh?" Jack was stunned for a moment and looked at Nie Chiwu curiously: "Do we know each other? It shouldn't be, I have a good memory."

"Whether you remember or not doesn't matter!" Nie Chiwu walked over with his arms wide open and gave Jack a big hug. "A good guy like you! Even if it's our first meeting, it's worth it! Wanna have a drink together? It's my treat!"

"Hey! Dude, you're really straightforward!" Jack's eyes lit up. "You were in a gang before? Which gang?"

"I didn't join the gang before!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs up. "Now I do! It's my own gang!"

"Hunter Gang!"

Chapter 195 will become famous all over the world for you to see!

"...?"

The hunters around were stunned for a moment after hearing what Nie Chiwu and Jack said, and then question marks popped up in their heads.

Hunter Gang? What? When did they have a Hunter Gang?

But although the hunters were quite suspicious, Nie Chiwu and Jack became familiar with each other at the speed of light.

"I have to give you a bottle of good wine! It's our hunter's treasure! Fire Dragon Whiskey! A rare and fine wine!" Nie Chiwu hooked his arm around Jack's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go to the Wild Wolf Bar and have a few drinks! I just happened to have some wine with me!"

Nie Chiwu and Jack walked towards the Wild Wolf Bar arm in arm.

Misty looked at Jack's back with some worry.

"Misty, I'll be back later. Don't worry, I won't drink too much." Jack gave Misty a thumbs up and said, "Don't worry! I'll be careful!"

"Ms. Misty, we are not bad people." Tanjiro noticed some of Misty's concerns, and after Nie Chiwu and Jack left, he said to Misty: "We really want to be friends with Mr. Jack, not to ask him to do anything."

After arriving in Night City, Tanjiro also tried to observe the human body in this world through the transparent world, but he found that many people in this world had their body parts replaced by machines. Fortunately, Misty did not have many prosthetic parts.

So Tanjiro could clearly see that Misty's heartbeat and blood flow quickened because of the contact between him and others and Jack.

"Sorry." Misty looked at Tanjiro. Although Night City was indeed a chaotic place, Tanjiro's words and actions made people want to believe him.

At this moment, Nie Chiwu suddenly popped his head out of the doorway and said to the hunters in the room, "Hey! I'm going to have a drink with Jack! Do you guys want to take a walk around here and learn about Night City?"

"I definitely want to go!" Yang Le said enthusiastically, "The technology here is so advanced, there should be a lot of interesting things, right?"

"I'll go and take a look too." Emiya Shirou said after hesitating for a moment, "But the atmosphere here is really terrible."

"Hey! Take me with you when you go drinking!" Er Qiao said with some dissatisfaction: "I want a drink too!"

"Reject! That guy Kazuma has already run away! Now the new hunter must at least have an experienced hunter to lead the field!" Nie Chiwu ruthlessly rejected Er Qiao: "Don't worry! If I see good wine, I will bring you a bottle! Oh, and David!"

Nie Chiwu suddenly saw David sitting in the corner and gave him a thumbs up: "David! I leave this to you!"

"You are the only one among us who truly belongs to Night City. I have to rely on you for all these things."

"That's right..."

David looked in Nie Chiwu's direction and suddenly understood: "I understand, I understand everything."

"Alright guys! Captain, I'm going to go have a drink!" Nie Chiwu waved his hand cheerfully: "See you in the cafeteria later, Ghana!"

Nie Chiwu turned around and followed Jack to the Wild Wolf Bar, but his face darkened.

"Hey, man, you look like you have something on your mind." Jack also noticed the change in Nie Chiwu's expression, so he said to Nie Chiwu as they walked: "Let me guess, it must be that the young men in your gang are disobeying you, right? Or maybe there are some troubles that can't be solved?"

Jack thought about the people he had just seen and said, "I guess it must be the guy with the dejected look on his face who just got his prosthetics done. Just looking at his face, I can tell that he's just like everyone else in Night City, he's been through something."

"You're really right." Nie Chiwu scratched his head and said, "Okay, that's him. Actually, he's a student at Arasaka Academy."

"Fuck! Arasaka Academy! I heard that students there can get jobs in Arasaka Tower after graduation! There are all young men and women from rich families in there! How did you lure such a young man out to join the gang!" Jack couldn't help but swear and exclaimed.

"What rich family? He's just a kid from a single-parent family." Nie Chiwu waved his hand. "Not long ago, he and his mother were in a car accident on the overpass over there because of a conflict between two gangs."

"Over there? I remember there seemed to be a conflict between two gangs... Damn, how is his mother now?" Jack couldn't help but ask.

"She was in very bad condition. The rescuers were there to save members. After he finally got her to the hospital, guess where she ended up?" Nie Chiwu narrowed his eyes. "He sent her to the scavenger's territory."

"Damn, those idiots!" Jack also showed a look of contempt: "Then his mother said..."

"Jack, we're not part of a gang. The Hunter Gang was established starting today." Nie Chiwu and Jack put their arms around each other's shoulders. "We used to be just... more like a Hunter Club, but David happened to come to us after sending his mother to the scavengers' territory."

"Scavengers, we've taken care of everything." Nie Chiwu sighed, "We rescued David's mother and are resting now."

"But David's emotional knot isn't something I can resolve. You just saw his expression... young men like him tend to go to extremes."

"Honestly, I'm also annoyed when I see those innocent people who were once human beings in the Scavenger Hospital being turned into piles of bloody and rotten flesh by the Scavengers." Nie Chiwu said to Jack, "This place doesn't need gangs that waste human lives, and it certainly doesn't need people like the Scavengers who are so unacceptable."

"What do you want to do?" Jack looked at Nie Chiwu. "Those gangs are not easy to deal with. Besides, it's no use telling me this."

"I'm not in a gang anymore," Jack said. "If you want to ask me about gangs, I don't have any."

"What?! I never ask for help from a new friend!" Nie Chiwu said to Jack, "I'm only telling you this because you're Jack!"

"Just wait and see, Jack, we will become legends." Nie Chiwu said to Jack, "I just want you to witness it! Witness the first moment of legend!"

"You'll be famous all over the world, Jack!"

Chapter 196: Hunters Prepare for a Big Fight

"Nie Chiwu actually just left everyone to me like this." Qiao Qiao scratched her hair in annoyance, then looked at Tanjiro with a look of help: "Tanjiro, where should we go next?"

"I know!" Yang Le raised his hand: "Let's go meet Lao Wei!"

"Ms. Misty, can we go in through the back door?" Tanjiro asked politely.

"You guys know Lao Wei?" Misty was a little surprised. "I've never heard of Lao Wei knowing people like you guys."

"Well... I guess someone introduced us to each other." Emiya Shirou said: "That person told us a lot about this place, such as Old Wei, the Wild Wolf Bar, Jack and so on."

I know V in the game, so how can it not be considered an introduction...

"Lao Wei?"

Jotaro and David, the only two people present who did not return to the party to play games, were confused, but were quickly taken out by Tanjiro and the other three.

The group of five also went out directly from Misty's back door and prepared to go to Lao Wei's basement clinic.

"David, have you asked the doctor to prescribe medicine for you?" Tanjiro looked at David and asked carefully.

"No... I forgot." David only then remembered that he forgot to ask the doctor to prescribe inhibitors after he replaced his prosthesis.

No wonder I feel a little bad now...

"But we don't have any money." Emiya Shirou said worriedly.

He glanced at the five people present.

Aside from Er Qiao, who looked exceptionally tall and mature at 1.95 meters, the other four looked to be high school students...

No, there are actually three of them currently attending high school, and except for Tanjiro, the others are all students.

"Japanese yen... I can't use it here no matter how hard I try." Shirou Emiya touched his wallet.

"Let me do it," Er Qiao volunteered. "I have some money on hand."

"Mr. Joseph is indeed worthy of his name!" Tanjiro looked at Jotaro with some admiration. "You actually made money in Night City so quickly?"

Tanjiro's admiring gaze hurt Jotaro a little.

This innocent look really made Er Qiao, who had just robbed a gangster, feel as if he was being tested by justice...

"Is Sian Westin really as powerful as he is in the previous anime?" Yang Le looked at the prosthetic on David's back with some excitement: "I always feel that this thing is just like stopping time!"

"Have you tried it?" Yang Le's eyes were shining. "What does it feel like after turning on the Sian Westin? Does the whole world slow down?"

At this moment, Yang Le felt that David was like a friend who had just obtained a top-notch equipment, and he was eager to see what the effect of the other party's equipment was.

"As for a demonstration..." David thought about it carefully, then looked at the pile of cans next to the trash can, then took out a coin and flicked it into the air.

The next moment, Sian Westin was directly opened, and everything around began to slow down, and David was demonstrating the effect of his prosthesis before the coin fell.

When David caught the coin again, Yangle and Emiya Shirou still didn't know what had happened.

David asked them to look at the trash can.

A dozen cans were stacked steadily on top of the trash can to form a triangular tower. This was David's demonstration at the Swansea Westin.

"Amazing! Just like a superhero!" Yang Le clenched his fists excitedly: "This is the first time I've seen something like this in real life!"

"Me too..." Emiya Shirou said the same thing.

Although I have learned a lot of things beyond common sense since coming to the rally, this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.

But David was staring at Tanjiro and Jotaro beside him, his eyes as if he saw two monsters.

"Mr. David, why are you looking at me?" Tanjiro felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he touched his head embarrassedly and asked David.

"You... could see what I was doing just now?" David was folding cans just now, and when he looked back, he saw something that made his whole mind go blank.

Tanjiro and Jotaro's eyes were always following David, and they even seemed to see everything David was doing. Even after David finished using Swanwestin, they seemed to be able to see their own movements.

"Yeah! Mr. David's movements are very fast!" Tanjiro nodded seriously: "I feel that if Mr. David practices swordsmanship, he can easily attack the key parts!"

"Uh... I can see it very clearly..." Er Qiao also touched his eyes.

Er Qiao himself didn't expect that he could react to what David had just done.

Maybe it's genetic? After all, his grandson could fight DIO for minutes in just a few seconds of time...

After Erqiao complained for a while, she also figured out the actual reason.

The factor of combat experience is another matter, but the more important reason is indeed - cat food.

"No matter how I look at it, it seems that after eating too much cat food, his physical fitness is becoming less and less like that of a normal person..." Qiao Qiao remembered that when he and Tanjiro were training in the training ground, the rocks that Tanjiro carried on his back for exercise seemed to be getting bigger and bigger...

"Let the cyborg doctor prescribe some medicine for you first," Er Qiao said. "After all, you still have a lot to do."

"...Yeah." David clenched his fists and looked out through the crack in the alley toward Night City. "I do have a lot to do."
