Chapter 708 Past Events (Asking for a Guaranteed Monthly Pass at the Beginning of the Month)
When the male waiter left the table in the corner with the written menu, Lumian picked up the red, white and blue liqueur, touched it with Franka, and took a sip.
Then, he glanced left and right, suppressed his voice, and put the Moran. Avini's fate fragment is recounted in detail.
Franka listened, and her expression gradually changed.
She frowned and said:
"The white, light mist you mentioned reminds me of something.
"Does it still present a feeling of constant change?"
Lumian thought carefully and said:
"Yes."
Franka exhaled softly and said:
"That's right, didn't I tell you that when Jane and I attended an occult gathering, we were followed by the client of the disappearance of the janitor of the Deep Valley Monastery, and a battle broke out?
"When I called that guy's spirit and asked him which organization he belonged to, his body and spirit suddenly exploded, and my mirror shattered, but before it broke, it was filled with a changing, white, faint mist."
Franka paused for a moment and said:
"According to the information I provided, '007' also saw similar fog when tracking down Fukaya Town, and there was also Albert. The name of Gonggul, the leader of the 'Charcoal Burning Party'.
"You also know that the 'Charcoal Party' played a role in the riot in the 'Hostel Project', and the other leader of them, General Philip, who was active in his new capacity, was in charge."
Lumian quickly understood what Franka wanted to say:
"Do you think the 'Charcoal Burning Party' is cooperating with multiple evil god sects, and the white, light, ever-changing fog is one of the organizations, and Moran. Avigny also has a certain connection with this organization, is it not a coincidence that the chance encounter in the Silonian Forest is not a coincidence?"
"Yes." Franka took a sip of liqueur, "What does the 'man in the mirror' want to do? They certainly don't just want to replace the original owner."
Gardner in the mirror. Martin has not yet succeeded, and uses the "Hostel Plan" to deal with the real Gardner. Martin can understand, Moran. Avini, the "man in the mirror", has replaced the original owner for decades, and even has an illegitimate daughter, and has always been alive and well, so why cooperate with the evil god sect?
Lumian smiled and said:
"The 'man in the mirror' as a whole and as an individual, the appeal is definitely different, what exactly the former is, to be investigated, in the Quaternary Trier, Gardner in the mirror. Martin said that the one they are loyal to and serve is all the answers, and knowing who they are should know the ultimate purpose of the 'people in the mirror'."
Franka said "hmm":
"We can do something in the direction of that strange fog, on the one hand, we deal with Moran. Avini is in order to obtain more information about the "Man in the Mirror", which is already a clue, on the other hand, to catch Moran. The opportunity to communicate with Aveni or his spirit may be hidden here."
Speaking of this, Franka smiled:
"I'm going to trouble '007' again."
After the exchange, Moran. As for Avini, Lumian picked up a piece of burnt pre-dinner bread and chewed it, while talking about the courtesan Perle he had just seen and the coffee grounds divination in a funny state.
"It shouldn't be a 'witch'." Franka was slightly disappointed and made a judgment.
From Lumian's description and reaction to Perl's appearance, she can be sure that the courtesan is not a "witch".
——Unless you deliberately pretend to be ugly, the charm of the "witch" cannot be hidden, even if you like men of the same sex, you will not be able to resist it and will look at it a few more times.
"Definitely not ......" Speaking of this, Lumian suddenly paused, not knowing what he remembered.
He turned to small talk:
"Does coffee grounds divination really have occult significance, and can it really give some enlightenment?"
Franka swallowed the pre-dinner bread in her mouth, drank the red, white and blue liqueur, and replied with a smile:
"Of course it has occult significance."
Seeing that Lumian, who couldn't tell divination at all and only knew how to see fate, was waiting for him to give further explanations, Franka smiled slightly proudly:
"Actually, you don't have to think of divination as too sacred and difficult.
"Each of us is interacting with the spirit world at all times, receiving various messages, and receiving certain revelations, which are reflected in reality in different forms.
"Extraordinary people are like this, and ordinary people are like this, but people who are not good at divination find it difficult to actively obtain revelations and cannot make effective interpretations.
"For example, if a fishbone gets stuck in the throat while eating fish, or choked by fish meat, if such a thing happens to an extraordinary person, they will quickly understand that this is a spiritual warning, containing corresponding revelation, and needs to be interpreted, but if ordinary people have similar experiences, they will only think that they are unlucky, that they are careless, that they will not pay enough attention to it, and they will not be able to interpret what this means.
"Of course, not every time you get stuck in a fishbone comes from a spiritual warning, most of the time it is because you are not careful enough, and those who are good at divination will be keenly aware of what is revelation and what is not.
Franka thought that she would eat fish later, so she used fish bones to get stuck and fish meat choked as an example.
Lumian nodded slightly when he heard this, and had a better understanding of "divination".
He said thoughtfully:
"If you don't deliberately control the drinking method and divination techniques, then the shape of drinking the remaining coffee grounds may indeed indicate some things, but the meaning interpreted by ordinary people may not be correct?"
"Yes." Franka said excitedly, "In the most rational environment, coffee grounds divination, which has been popular for ten or twenty years, can actually be extremely close to the truth, because the standard answer can be corrected through each divination, until the revelation corresponding to each coffee grounds form is completely fixed, and even ordinary people can make relatively accurate interpretations through this.
"But it's a pity that reality is not an absolutely rational world, people who believe in coffee grounds divination, after getting the wrong interpretation, will self-suggest and unconsciously cooperate with the wrong answer, so that it gradually becomes a reality, and those who do not believe it will find that the interpreted revelation is not accurate at all.
While the two were chatting, the waiter followed the procedure and brought up different dishes and put away the previous plates.
The fried fillet was served as the main course at a later stage.
Lumian cut a piece and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the fish was tender, the aroma of burnt and oily was intertwined, and the taste of pepper and salt grains was just right.
"It's good." Franka on the opposite side let out a voice of admiration, "Not only does it taste good, but it also warms me up even more."
Lumian also felt that after the felt fish entered his stomach, there was a warm current in his body.
"This is indeed with some special ingredients." He gave a pertinent conclusion and teased Franka by the way, "Don't eat so fast, be careful of getting stuck in your throat by fish bones."
"Just a few thorns still want to catch me?" Franka laughed.
She glanced left and right, and saw that the waiter had moved away as instructed, and asked curiously:
"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, but I still can't figure out the difference between using rituals and curses to influence the future development of the target's destiny and directly promoting the change of destiny.
"Ritual, I can understand, is relying on the target's blood, immediate family and specific items, as well as contact that meets the requirements of the occult to change his future fate, but isn't that tantamount to a curse?"
Lumian organized the following words:
"In the occult knowledge related to the 'Life Hunter', the curse is the curse of fate, which is more simplified than the ritual, and the conditions that need to be met are fewer, but the final effect is very limited, and it is impossible to accomplish things that are too exaggerated.
"Many blessings of fate like to call this curse magnifying fate.
"It can only target those tributaries of fate within the next ten seconds of the target, and must conform to the current environment and what is happening, these are prerequisites, and it is also a necessary condition for achieving the curse of fate, and the tributary of fate that can be amplified must also have a certain probability of becoming a reality, otherwise the success rate will be very low.
"To put it simply, first use the environment or change the environment to make something possible, and then amplify this possibility, well, provided that this possibility is not the kind with a very small probability."
Speaking of this, Lumian looked at Franka, raised his right palm, and made gestures while urging to give an example:
"For example, if you are eating fish now, I can use the curse to magnify the possibility of you getting stuck in the fishbone, but I can't magnify the possibility that your chair will suddenly collapse and the sawdust will pierce your body."
As soon as he finished speaking, Franka suddenly froze.
She snorted twice, and there was a certain wriggling on the surface of her throat.
Within seconds, Franka spat out a fish bone with a little blood.
"Are you really here?" Franka complained, "Fortunately, I have strong control over my throat in this sequence now, so I solved it myself, uh......"
Franka suddenly paused, and said after a few seconds:
"Otherwise, I would have to ask a doctor for help, how embarrassing it would be!"
Lumian laughed:
"I can help you take it and enlarge the tributary of fate that was successfully taken out."
Franka was speechless for a moment.
After eating another piece of felt fish, she nodded lightly and said:
"I now understand the difference between the three.
"Curses, that is, amplification, are used in battle, and their main function is to interfere with and influence the enemy, and it cannot accomplish things that are too exaggerated.
"The ritual is carried out in advance, and when there is a corresponding thing, it can greatly make the fate of the target develop in the direction you want."
"But this direction is relatively general and cannot be specified exactly." Lumian helpfully added, "For example, I can make a person unlucky, but I can't specify how unlucky he is."
Franka nodded:
"Is promoting fate a simplified version of a ritual that can be used in actual combat, but the effect does not decrease?"
"The effect is even stronger and more precise." Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, because many abilities have undergone certain changes when the 'Life Hunter' and 'Reaper' are combined, and even have corresponding occult knowledge, I can't completely distinguish which ones are originally possessed and which are unique to me, I am only sure that the 'Eye of Calamity' and 'Pushing Destiny' are special brought by the 'Reaper'."
For the rest of the day, the two of us enjoyed lunch.
When it was over, Lumian pointed to the deliberately left half of the felt fish and said to the waiter:
"Help me pack it."
The waiter didn't ask why, and respectfully complied, while Franka smiled and teased:
"You are so frugal."
Lumian chuckled and said:
"This is the self-cultivation of the godfather.
"And. I also want to know what is special about this fish."
ps: At the beginning of the month, I asked for a guaranteed monthly pass~
