Chapter 440 The Fool Reversed
"Pick one..."
Washington, BSI Headquarters.
Putting a stack of tarot cards in front of you, the fortune teller Joey signaled to Spike in front of you.
"Let's forget it."
Faced with the invitation of the fortune teller, Spike shook his head gently, looked down at the newspaper in his hand, and smiled and refused.
"Get a look, Spike."
Seeing this, Agent Phil, who was beside him, couldn't help but speak and urged him.
"Just just have fun."
In the previous Haiti incident, although members of the Amanda team successfully blocked the arrival of the Voodoo Queen in Haiti and saved the world, unfortunately, not everyone expressed their appreciation for this, especially the Haitian side officially expressed protests and dissatisfaction through official channels, believing that the actions of Amanda and others completely ignored the existence of the Haitian local government and were contemptuous of a country.
If this kind of protest was put in the past, the Pentagon might not even be able to see it.
As a country that has been struggling at the bottom of the world's poverty line for many years, Haiti does not even have the most basic position in the strategic relationship between the United States. If the level of existence of countries around the world is divided into different countries, then Haiti is undoubtedly the most marginal and defined as one of the meaningless countries.
However, this is the past.
Through reports provided by Amanda Squad and information provided by the local embassy in Haiti.
The Pentagon paid some attention to Haiti, a country that originally didn't even look at it, especially the existence of local voodoo religion. Once this sacrifice that masters supernatural power enters America, the harm it will undoubtedly cause to the body is huge.
With all this in mind, the Pentagon had to change its past strategy and turn its originally ignorant attitude into at least a response, so that Haiti can see that the United States still attaches importance to them. Of course, on the other hand, the Pentagon has urgently sent more personnel to enter the local embassy.
Even the CIA has made suggestions, proposing to directly bribe the local government or support a puppet regime controlled by the United States to ensure that the local voodoo forces will not affect the security of the American mainland.
At the same time, it is precisely because of the strategic changes of the Pentagon that Amanda and others have to be punished for their previous actions in Haiti.
At least, it should be done on the surface for Haiti to see.
...
"All right."
However, Agent Phil's inspiration, Spike put down the newspaper in his hand and picked out one of the tarot cards of the fortune teller in front of him.
"let me see."
"Um."
He reached out to take the tarot card drawn by Spike and turned it on.
Joey looked at the figure wearing colorful clothes on the card, standing on the edge of the cliff, carrying a staff and tying his bag, stalking forward with his head held high, raised some eyebrows slightly, staring at the careless Spike in front of him, and spoke to the divine way.
"The fool is the beginning of all tarot cards, and it also represents the end of tarot cards..."
Looking down at the figure on the tarot card in his hand, the fortune teller said in an inexplicable tone: "Some people say that a fool has an innocent and innocent heart as natural and pure as the white rose; others say that he is very stupid, lacking the ability to judge rationally, and doing anything by intuition, without the ability to refuse and resist, is a representation of stupidity, impulse and nothingness."
"The fool is a person who is not bound by secular norms, so this card represents the self. It implies that although you live in the world, you have never forgotten your goals. In order to achieve your goals, you are willing to face a dangerous future. The cliff under the feet of the fool indicates that you have no way out."
"Of course, the fool also has beautiful meanings in the tarot card, symbolizing freedom and purity, but that is when it is on the front."
He handed the reverse fool in his hand to Spike, and the fortune teller Joey analyzed in a meaningful tone: "I saw betrayal from this reverse fool, Spike."
"What's the meaning?"
Hearing Joey's divination, Spike restrained the relaxed expression on his face and looked at the diviner with his slightly drooping blue eyes.
"Be careful of the people around you, Spike, betrayal comes from the people you trust the most."
The words of the fortune teller made Spike fall into deep thought.
"It's just a tarot divination. Is it necessary to make the atmosphere so serious?"
In the office, feeling the silence between the two sides in front of him, Agent Phil couldn't help but speak and break the atmosphere in front of him.
"I don't know who it was. After the divination, I avoided the water for a whole week and even took care of myself when I went to the toilet."
Hearing Agent Phil's words, Agent Zhou, who was beside him, couldn't help but complain.
"Hey, I just got hurt just now, so I was so careful to avoid the wound being splashed by water."
Faced with the uncovered Agent Zhou, Agent Phil quickly spoke up to make a defense.
The conversation between Agent Zhou and Agent Phil made the atmosphere in the office that had become a bit heavy because of Joey's divination, and it regained the ease again.
Spike turned his head, looked at Phil who was trying to defend himself, and smiled at the fortune teller opposite him, and was about to ask for some details about fortune telling.
"Boss, something happened."
At this moment, Angela knocked on the office and interrupted.
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Angela who appeared in the office, Amanda restrained the smile on her face and frowned and asked.
"Someone dragged his suitcase to the headquarters and said there was a gift to give to us."
"Gift?"
Hearing Angela's answer, Amanda and others' expressions not only became clear, but became even more confused.
“To be precise, he said there was a gift to Spike.”
Faced with Amanda's doubts, Angela spoke and answered in an additional sentence.
"I don't remember that someone told me to send me a gift."
Spike frowned and thought for a moment when he looked at the inquiring Amanda.
I didn't remember any friends who could give gifts specifically.
"What kind of gift is, just go out and take a look."
In the office, his eyes swept back and forth on Angela, Spike and Amanda, and Agent Phil immediately spoke up and made a proposal with some regret.
"Phil is right."
Hearing Agent Phil's words, Amanda shrugged and stood up from his position.
He reached out and touched the ring on his hand. Spike and Amanda and his group began to walk out. The moment he walked out of the office, he subconsciously looked back.
I saw the fortune teller sitting in front of the table, packing up the tarot cards on the table, and seemed to be planning to come out with them.
