Chapter 130: Divination Ritual


Hodden leaned lazily back in his chair, holding a pack of small fish biscuits that had come out of nowhere, throwing them into his mouth one after the other, not enthusiastically participating in the discussion, only waiting for Issa to ask, and then slowly speaking his conjecture."

I'm not surprised if Victor lies; But now the question is, what if both Ned and Darryl lied?

”To put it mildly, Horden overturned a boatload of people with a single stroke, which made Patsia ask with some eagerness, "Did you find any hidden clues?"

”"No, I'm just assuming that everyone has a ghost in their heart."

Holden threw a bombshell lightly, and Parcia was directly shocked.Issa, however, remembered a term that Hordon said last time, "......

Action profile?

”In fact, she didn't know what it meant, and she wasn't even sure if she was right, but during the investigation, Horden was always able to detect some wonderful details, and even the perspective was very different, which made Issa full of confusion, and she was trying to keep up with Horden's rhythm.Hodden chuckled, "I'm just assuming that if the murderer is among these three, but the truth is still hidden in the fog, it means that someone must be lying; If there is another person who is the real culprit, then it also means that these three people must have information to hide. ”After a slight pause, Hoden let out a low exclamation and said to himself, "Ah, there are so many possibilities, if only we could know who is lying." ”Issa jerked her head up and cast a suspicious look at Holden: this was definitely not the Holden she was familiar with, and her tone and demeanor were not quite right; But when it comes to what is wrong, she can't tell.At the same time, Pasia's voice couldn't wait to say, "Divination?

”But after blurting it out, Pacia herself showed a hesitant look, and looked at Issa with some embarrassment, hiding her panic.Unexpectedly, Hordon straightened his waist and wrote interest and curiosity on his face, "Divination?

What kind of divination is it?

”Issa glared at Pacia fiercely, and Pacia stuck out her tongue to show her gaffe, looking annoyed.Issa then looked at Holden and explained, "Divination is a psyker's means of detection, probabilistic and very uncertain; However, our security forces still have to pay attention to evidence, and relying only on divination to complete judgments still lacks justice and fairness, and even if the investigation is successful, it cannot be accepted. ”It's like the same as the official way.Or a lie detector, the test results can only be used as a reference, not as evidence to determine the case.Horden is completely understandable, because he himself grew up in a society governed by the rule of law; But at this time, he didn't care at all, and gently bowed his head to Issa in understanding, and then looked at Pacia again, "The first time I heard about the profession of soothsayers, how do they do divination?"

”Pasia's expression was a little embarrassed, and his eyes kept drifting to Isa.Hoden also turned his head, "We just need a little clue now." ”Issa didn't think it was strange, it wasn't like Holden at all, but after a moment's hesitation, Issa nodded in affirmation, signaling for Paxia to speak.Only then did Pacia explain, "It is true that the profession of soothsayers is becoming less and less, mainly because the abilities of psionics are getting weaker and weaker, and the probability of errors in divination results is greater, and now there are only a few people who are willing to believe in soothsayers; But they still exist objectively, and believers are still willing to believe. ”"The professions of soothsayers are very complex and varied, including stargazing, crystal balls, tea, playing cards, and some strange divination methods that have been passed down from the Kag and Quran.Each soothsayer has different techniques and methods, and of course, different abilities.The result is the same. ”Pacia sketched a rough outline, but Hoden immediately understood, "It's like the psykers themselves, with infinite possibilities." ”"That's right!

That's what it means. ”Pacia nodded repeatedly, and then rubbed his little hands excitedly, "What, do we really need to ask the soothsayer?"

”Issa rolled her eyes, "No, we didn't ask the soothsayer.The vigilantes are impossible to reimburse, and your weekly salary shouldn't be wasted in these useless places. ”After speaking, Issa said angrily, "Technology has been developing for more than a hundred years, and some things should have been clarified a long time ago." ”As if he hadn't heard Issa's complaints, Hoden looked at Pascia with encouragement in his eyes, "Why, it seems that you have an understanding of divination?"

”In the Norsines continent, between the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid decline of psionic energy, a delicate balance has been formed, and no one has been able to seize the upper hand for the time being, but both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses in different fields, which has also formed a "science and technology faction", "psionic faction" and "wall-riding faction" among different groups of people, sometimes the east wind presses the west wind, sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind, but no one has been able to fully dominate.Different groups of people have different opinions on technology and psionic powers, which is one of the most important topics of discussion in the Leia Empire at the moment, and Iwabuchi is no exception.Now it seems that Issa should be a technocracy.As for Parcia, he wasn't a psionic—his attitude towards the Frozen Scepter was telling, but he did have more curiosity about psionics."

I've studied it myself, and I'm not necessarily completely accurate, but I can still try it."

That being said, the eagerness in Patsia's eyes was telling a different story.Parcia took a quick look at Issa, and then eagerly added, "In the past, when I was in high school and college, I used to help my classmates with divination, and even divined a test question. ”"What was the result of that test?"

Hoden asked with great interest, is it like a tarot card or a pen fairy when he was a student?

Or palmistry?

“A。”

Pacia smirked, his cheekbones seemingly darting towards the sky.Issa crossed her hands over her chest and rolled her eyes, "Are you sure it's because that exam was so easy that you can pass it with your eyes closed?"

”Hodden ignored Isa's thoughts and looked at Pascia curiously, "Will the whole procedure be very troublesome?"

”"You can choose the troublesome or the non-troublesome one."

Pasya went around in circles like a magic stick, and what he said was equal to what he didn't say.But then he felt Issan's murderous eyes, Pacia's back was cold, and he hurriedly said, "We can choose not to bother, simply divination, you know, after all, these results can't be used as evidence, just give us some clues."

So we try to keep it simple. ”Pacia did get a little jumpy.At the end of the day, he followed Issa and Horden, but he didn't find anything, not even as good as running errands, which made him a little frustrated; Now he is also eager to be involved in this case and play a little bit of a role.()
