()||<黑屏2>9:Divination. The process of peering into one's destiny. +That begs the question, what is destiny? +People often refer to events beyond their control as destiny. +But if it is truly outside of one's influence, then why bother exploring it? +Perhaps, in times of desperation... +...Destiny is the only thing people can count on....

()||<黑屏2>472GF_EV9_Intermission:Two days ago, Griffin received an urgent request. +An elementary school bus has been hijacked by terrorists, and seven children have been taken as hostages to a city that has been abandoned for years. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
Vector(0)Vector||:...That's all the intel we've got so far. +Now, we need to split up and conduct reconnaissance on the kidnappers' hideout. The primary objective is to protect the hostages.
PP90(0)PP90||:Ro-roger! I will not let you down this time!
R93(0)R930,-80||:In a city this big, the probability of us just finding them on our own is even lower than winning a game of roulette...
Vector(0)Vector||:We don't have a choice. Moving covertly in small teams is the only way of not alerting the kidnappers.
PP90(0)PP90||:Well, if only one of us had a neural upgrade and equipped the newest sensors...
()||ClothingUp:K5 purses her lips.
K5(0)K5||:...Sorry, I let my chance of being upgraded go.
PP90(0)PP90;K5(0)||:Eh? Don't worry! That's not what I meant!
PP90(0);K5(0)K5||:However, I do have my reasons.
PP90(0)PP90||:I know, it was a bad omen from your last divination.
R93(0)R930,-80||:Come on, you don't have to take it that seriously. As I recall, each tarot card can be read from two orientations, either 'upright' or 'inverted', so when you flip it around, so does the fortune. +If the result isn't to your liking, I guess a little bit of cheating can't be that bad, right?
K5(0)K5||:Even so, the foretold destiny will not change. The results of divination will simply manifest in other ways. +However...
()||AVG_footsteps_cave:She steps forward.
K5(0)K5||Stop_AVG_loop:Even without the upgrade, I'm still confident that I can find the hostages on my own merits.
Vector(0)Vector||:What do you plan to do?
K5(0)K5||:It will show us the way...
()||ShuffleCards:K5 lifts her hand, tossing the tarot cards into the air. As they flutter like butterflies, one lands softly in her palm. +Moonlight pierces through the window, illuminating the card—it's the ever-changing wheel of "Destiny", spinning towards an uncertain future...

()||<黑点2>468AVG_AMB_Wind:A nimble figure dashes between the crumbling skyscrapers; its form reflected by countless windows. +Wind whistles through every gap in the building, drowning out all other sounds.
K5(0)K5||:Whew...
()||:K5 clutches the tarot card in her palm tight. This is where the divination leads her to. +Powerful wind pours into the narrow hallway, accompanied by a shrilling howl.
()||Stop_AVG_loopAVG_tele_connect:A call comes in at just the right moment, dispersing the ominous atmosphere.
PP90(0)PP90<通讯框>||:Vivi, 3 o'clock is clear. No sign of the target!
Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||:Roger, what about everyone else?
R93(0)R93<通讯框>||:Still searching, but I have a feeling there's something ahead.
K5(0)K5||:Approaching destination, no signs of activity on my way here.
Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||:Roger, be careful.
()||AVG_Card_Reader:Just as K5 was about to close her communications, she heard a beeping noise.
K5(0)K5||:W-wait...
Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||:What's wrong?
K5(0)K5||:The sensor just detected vital signs! Judging from the heart rate, it's a child!
()||:On the digital map, an amber dot keeps blinking like a beating heart.
PP90(0)PP90<通讯框>||:Woohoo, great job!
Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||BGM_Empty:...Hold on, did you say that there's only "a" child?
()||AVG_2022Saros_timebomb:Suddenly, some sort of countdown noise surrounds K5 as she's looking around, dumbfounded.
()||GF_21winter_avg_betray:Vector quickly realizes what's going on and shouts at the top of her lungs.
Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||:K5, retreat from that building immediately! It's a trap! The terrorists booby-trapped it!
PP90(0)PP90<通讯框>||:B-b-b-b-b-bombs?!
()||<震屏3>Stop_AVG_loopExplode<火花>:In an instant, BOOM—A violent explosion erupts from the building.
()||AVG_lifttable:The ceiling, the walls, and the floors... Everything starts collapsing and crumbling, followed by countless fragments falling apart, jolting K5 around.
K5(0)K5||:But I haven't found that child yet!
()||RunStep:K5 clenches her teeth; instead of jumping out of the window, she leaps across the collapsed hallway and presses on.
NPC-Lilyan(0)Young Girl||:Eh...
()||:At the end of the hallway, a little girl is curled up in fear in the corner, paralyzed by the apocalyptic sight in front of her eyes.
K5(0)K5||:Give me your hand!
()||RopeAVG_Door_Hit:Just as K5 reaches out to grab the girl's arm, the platform underneath her feet starts crumbling and their body plummets.
()||Rope:The last thing she recalls doing before losing consciousness is holding the little girl tightly in her arms.

Vector(0)Vector<通讯框>||AVG_Fire_Bonfire<黑屏2>98:K5? K5?! K5!
R93(0)R93<通讯框>||:Can you hear me, K5?!
