Chapter 53 Supernatural Department (3)
Before Inuyama Heita went home, he took the opportunity to go to the Reikong Office. Anyway, his home is not far from here, so it was a convenient way. There are no adults at home, and he doesn’t have to work recently. It's okay if you go back later. When Heita Inuyama came in, Qian Xiaoyi was sitting on the boss's chair, staring at the laptop screen on the table and looking at something. When he saw Heita Inuyama coming in, he casually asked: "Why didn't you just go home?" Did you find any information? "
Inuyama Heita asked directly: "Um, do you know about Suzuki-san helping the office to attract a client? "
< br>"Ah~that, she just sent me a text message." Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "It's really amazing. In just one day, I have already found an unjust...customer. It's so efficient. It was so high that I was caught off guard."
Inuyama Heita said with his eyes closed: "You just wanted to take advantage of me, right?"
Qian Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "Don't pay attention to those details. This little girl's efficiency is too high, which makes me a little annoyed, so now I am checking information and making up for lessons, so as not to say the wrong thing in fortune-telling and lose customers. Then But that's not good . ”
Inuyama Heita stood next to Qian Xiaoyi curiously and looked at the computer screen. Although the other party was searching in Chinese, he could still understand the attached pictures. What this guy was looking at was actually Information about tarot cards.
“I thought you were looking up local urban legends…” Inuyama Heita looked surprised: “Why would you, Oto, look up information on tarot card divination? A Taoist priest wouldn’t know that… Fortune telling? ”
“Fortune telling? Then I can do it.” Qian Xiaoyi stretched out his hand and placed three large coins on the table as if by magic. Inuyama Heita took a closer look and saw that they seemed to be copper coins of some age. They should be Tools used in divination.
So Inuyama Heita asked: "Wouldn't it be better to just use this?"
Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "Life is not easy. This is Tokyo, a big city. The customer introduced by the little Suzuki girl may be a high school girl. What if the other party thinks that the divination method is old-fashioned? So I need to follow closely. It’s trendy and adopts the method that young people prefer. Not only that, I also bought this book and I’m reading it recently.” After that, he took out a book from under the table.
"Astrology..." Heita Inuyama read out the name in Chinese characters in the book speechlessly. It was still a Chinese book, but he still recognized these three characters. Inuyama Heita asked: "Can it be done in such a short period of time?"
"Tarot cards are much simpler than imagined." Qian Xiaoyi pointed to the copper coins on the table and said: "The gameplay is similar to The simplest six lines in fortune-telling are very similar. They all use the hexagrams given by divination props to infer the status of the person being divined. How to interpret the hexagrams depends entirely on the fortune teller's mouth. There is no problem if you just fool ordinary people. As for astrology... it is more difficult to get started than tarot cards. It requires a certain understanding of astronomy and observation of the stars, so I plan to use simpler zodiac signs to fool little girls. That's enough, the problem is Mercury is retrograde."
"So it's all a lie?" Inuyama Heita was very helpless. "In my opinion, it is indeed the case, but my party has not studied divination too deeply, so it's hard to say." Qian Xiaoyi said nonchalantly: "Anyway, my master and I don't believe in divination. The inheritance of our lineage is all In terms of how to catch ghosts, other things are just supplements and are sufficient.”
Inuyama Heita asked: "Are there no real fortune tellers? The kind who can predict the future."
Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said: "At least the so-called masters I know all rely on superb words. To achieve the so-called 'magic calculation' with skills and super powers of observation, oh, by the way, maybe also the ability to collect and analyze intelligence, then the fortune-telling results given by fortune-tellers are often given. They are all vague descriptions with a very broad scope, allowing the occupants to figure it out on their own. Once something happens, they will fill in the elements that existed in the incident themselves, and finally praise it for being accurate, but in that case Before something happens, no one will know that the divination result refers to that thing, and nothing can be changed at all. We call this situation 'finding where to point'."
"Isn't this talking about divination. Is this kind of thing completely useless?" Heita Inuyama asked.
"You can't say that." Qian Xiaoyi said with a smile: "It is still very useful, and sometimes it can really turn disaster into good luck. I seem to have told you before that the ancient priesthood The personnel themselves will work part-time as a psychologist, and this is the role of divination. An excellent fortune teller will infer the other party's current situation from the other party's reaction when analyzing the hexagrams and constant conversations, and slowly induce the other party to believe in themselves After speaking, give your life advice to the other party and combine it with your own divination results to form a conclusion. If this advice is really useful and has given some help, then even if there are only two or three people out of ten. Personally benefiting, this fortune teller will also be passed down as a divine fortune teller. After all, among the remaining people, because the fortune telling results are too vague, they will almost certainly be able to match the prediction, which is the so-called Barnum effect, so even if the fortune telling results are not helpful, those People won’t say that the other party’s calculation is inaccurate, it’s just a hindsight, it’s useless.”
Inuyama Heita looked shocked: “So this is the truth of divination?” He used to watch various movies and TV shows. Here, those fortune tellers gave him the impression that they were mysterious people who were arrogant but very accurate in their calculations, so he felt an inexplicable sense of awe.
Qian Xiaoyi specially asked: "You can't go out and talk about these things. Let's chat and give you some insights to prevent you from being deceived. You know, some fortune tellers really believe in what they learn." That set of things, if colleagues or guests outside know about it, If I say these things, then I won’t be able to survive.”
“Well, of course.” Heita Inuyama nodded, and then he suddenly said: “Ah, by the way, I’m not here to talk to you. We are talking about these things. I came here just to ask if Kawasaki-senpai When I came to the office, should I come with him or avoid suspicion and not show up here? Or, Brother Yi, do you need me to act as a caretaker?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "You or Suzuki are not needed? The little girl can be my caretaker and watch my performance. You can do it too. Just come with that enemy and pretend not to know me, so that if someone sees us acting together in the future, it can be used as an excuse to say that we met this time.”
“Understood!”
