Chapter 49 Divination

As a "diver" who has just entered the gate of esotericism, Klein dare not say that he knows a lot, but he must know a lot more than ordinary people, and he knows that all kinds of divination can be divided into three major categories according to a certain standard kind.

And this standard is the source of "revelation"!

The first divination method includes tarot, poker, pendulum, divination stick, and dreamland. It uses the "revelation" obtained by "asking the person" to communicate with the spiritual world to interpret the results of divination. It is only a pendulum and a divination stick. The law has high requirements on spirituality, spiritual body, and astral spiritual body. It is not that Extraordinary people cannot obtain accurate and obvious "revelation", while card divination uses the idea of ​​​​providing fixed symbolic elements in advance, which makes ordinary people feel ignorant." Revelation" can also be manifested, and the dream is in between.

The second divination method includes spiritual numbers, astrology, and all types of their derivation. The fortuneteller calculates, speculates, and interprets the corresponding results by asking objective information provided by people or natural changes. .

The third method of divination is to use third-party powers other than fortune-tellers and interrogators. The dish fairy and pen fairy that Klein knew in his previous life belonged to this category. Through certain rituals, he asked unknown and mysterious beings to give direct answers. Although there is a high probability that ordinary people will not succeed, if there is an emergency, and communication with an existence that is full of malice or can cause people to collapse just by contact, it will often lead to tragedy.

The "mirror divination" mentioned by Hynas Vancent just now belongs to this method-in mysticism, mirrors are the gates to the unknown, to the strange, and to the spiritual world, so Klein stopped Outside the conference room, I intend to listen to what the well-known fortune teller will explain, in order to decide whether to notify the captain or not, and go to "copy" the other party's gas meter in the middle of the night.

Of course, there is also a safe way to "magic mirror divination", that is, to pray to seven orthodox gods for answers. Even if it is difficult for ordinary people to get real "revelation", at least there will be no danger and sequelae.

And the kind of "mirror divination" strictly controlled by night watchers, punishers, etc. is to ask for help from evil gods or mysterious beings believed in by certain organizations. In addition, it is not enough to make up one's own words at will, maybe a certain word, a certain Traits attract unknown attention.

In this world with extraordinary power, similar divination will always lead to extremely bad results. Klein even suspected that the original owner, Welch, and Naya made a similar divination based on the notes of the Antigonus family. "Black Divination".

At this time, Haines also explained the principle of magic mirror divination to the five members, and began to describe the specific process:

"First of all, choose a suitable date and time according to the gods you believe in. This can be determined through the "Handbook of Astrology". For example, we all know that Sunday is the symbol of the goddess of the night and the embodiment of rest. 3:00 am, 9:00 am to 10:00 am, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, 11:00 pm to 0:00 pm, when it is the moon, it is dominated by the goddess of the night, so the diviner who believes in the goddess of the night can use these time periods on Sunday Do 'mirror divination'."

The foundation is solid... Klein nodded slightly with the help of the half-closed door of the conference room.

I have to say that when the seven major churches balance each other, some mysterious knowledge has indeed been leaked. For example, the "Handbook of Astrology" provides a lot of symbolic meanings, but without potions and extraordinary powers, ordinary people can hardly The desired effect cannot be obtained.

"Secondly, we carefully wipe the mirror, it must be a silver-plated mirror, and place it in the position of the moon symbolizing the moon..." Haines demonstrated with the props in his hand.

No, what is needed at this time is the "spiritual pendulum method", first choose a position, recite seven times in your mind "this is suitable for magic mirror divination", and then look at the direction of the pendant's rotation, clockwise is correct, counterclockwise is wrong... Of course , if you pray to malicious, unknown, mysterious beings, the location doesn't matter,

Whether he is interested or not is the point... Klein silently corrected.

At this time, he has the feeling that he is the teacher listening to the class...

Haines Vancent couldn't hear what Klein was saying, and explained the preparations in detail in a normal tone.

After the members wrote their notes, he continued to explain:

"After bathing, make sure that the curtains are all drawn and the door is locked and closed. Then, light a candle, place it in front of the mirror, and sincerely pray to the gods you believe in. The problem should be as simple as possible, and don't use complicated decorations... Pray After seven times, pick up your mirror and drop it lightly on the ground, it must be very light... Remember the brokenness, this is the revelation given by the gods... I will talk about several main symbols in detail."

Huh, this is the orthodox "mirror divination". Klein breathed a sigh of relief, walked slowly into the conference room, sat in the previous seat, and drank the remaining Navier coffee in one gulp.

The so-called "orthodox" means that it can indeed be enlightened, but it is basically impossible to really interpret it.

On the other hand, if the Extraordinary gets a response at this step, he can directly see a certain picture in the mirror and obtain clearer information!

Because there are many symbols formed after being broken, Haines talked for a long time, until Edward Steve finished his divination and returned to the conference room, he still did not finish.

Klein didn't ask what Edward helped people do divination, and what method he used. This was an unwritten rule among the fortune-tellers. As a "diver", he of course had to strictly abide by it, unless the other party took the initiative to mention it.

"I found that many times, our interpretations are too vague, as if we are catering to different needs, so that different people can find their own descriptions from the interpretation." Edward took a sip of Xibo black tea and sighed in a low voice, "For example, there are many twists and turns, there are too many disasters, but eventually you will see the dawn, hehe, no one knows when the dawn will come, for example, your journey is not too smooth, but you will definitely arrive alive, hey, The dead will not come to refute me."

Because he didn't listen from the beginning, he ignored Hynas' "Magic Mirror Divination Course"

"Survivor bias." Klein added with a smile.

The general meaning of survivorship bias is that many statistics often come only from the living, the surviving people, ignoring the dead, and the results will have obvious deviations.

"Yes, Emperor Roselle is really a philosopher." Edward exclaimed in admiration.

... Klein picked up the coffee cup without coffee and pretended to take a sip.

Throughout the afternoon, the members were immersed in the astrolabe and magic mirror divination, and occasionally came to discuss with Klein and Edward.

At this time, Klein was doing his duty as an informal member of the Nighthawks team, trying his best to guide them away from ideas that might involve extraordinary and dangerous ideas.

However, what he wanted to do most failed, and several inquirers came and went, but none of them chose him to help with divination.

"Maybe I have to take the initiative to 'host' next time and say something like 'You are in trouble', 'You will have misfortunes recently', 'Nothing will go well with you'? No, it's not like a fortune teller Now..." Thinking of this, Klein couldn't help shaking his head and mocking himself.

He took his cane, stood up, and left.

At half past five, Edward Steve put on his coat and was about to leave the divination club when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Good afternoon, Glacis, long time no see." He greeted with a smile, and saw that this friend who had the same hobby was wearing a regular formal suit with a black bow tie and a pair of monocles hanging from his breast pocket.

Immediately afterwards, he noticed that the other party's face was quite bad, and even the soft yellow hair showed signs of drying.

"Good afternoon, Edward...cough." Glacis, who was holding a hat, suddenly put his fist against his mouth and coughed a few times.

Edward cared:

"You seem to be sick?"

"A very serious disease, which even turned into pneumonia before. If my wife didn't happen to meet a powerful pharmacist and gave me some magical medicines, I'm afraid you can only see me in the cemetery." His tone was full of fear and joy.

"Lord, I can't believe you were so healthy before, look, look, you're so weak now! I remember giving you a divination last week, and there's no indication that you're going to be seriously ill. "Edward moved his cane and sighed in surprise.

"My own fortune-telling results are the same as what you gave. Maybe we are not qualified fortune-tellers, and, and..." Glacis suddenly remembered what happened on Monday, and his expression became extremely solemn.

At this moment, the beautiful lady Angelica came over and gave a gentle salute with a smile.

After greeting each other, she first paid attention to Glacis' health and offered some advice, and then casually mentioned:

"Mr. Glacis, the Mr. Moretti who asked you for a divination last time also joined the club."

"The one who asked me for a divination last time?" Glacis' eyes lit up, "Lord, where is he?"

"He has left." Neither Angelica nor Edward could understand Glacis' unusual reaction.

Glacis paced two steps excitedly:

"If I'm not at the club next time he comes, please make sure to ask when he will come!"

"Graceis, what's going on? Did that Mr. Klein Moretti do anything to you?" Edward asked suspiciously.

Glacis raised his arm, looked directly at Edward and Angelica's inquiring eyes, and answered enthusiastically:

"He's a very, very, very amazing..."

He waved his arm down, and Glacis, who used three "very" words in a row, said loudly:

"doctor!"
