"You can only be considered a scholar, let's get started."
Mr. Richard said, and Shade nodded. The cover of the album was a hand-painted landscape, and there was nothing noteworthy about it. Turning the first page, Shade looked at the black, purple and white intertwined, and the color
There will also be weird paintings that dynamically exchange colors between the blocks. After a moment of hesitation, he said:
"First picture, eyes."
Mr. Richard wrote in pencil in his notebook:
"please continue."
The second picture is more abstract. It is densely packed with hundreds of pairs of eyes, large and small, distributed on a colorful black background. Those eyes are constantly blinking, which can simply make people with trypophobia go crazy. Shade tried to force himself
After looking at it for a while, because the answer "eyes" has already been used, I reluctantly found another shape from it this time:
"Butterfly."
The third picture turned into a fragmented colorful butterfly with abstract eye markings on a colorful background, occupying the entire picture.
The butterfly seemed to have been torn open by force, and the delicate hairs and antennae depicted on its body were still shaking.
"Beauty torn apart by violence."
He made the answer a little more complicated this time.
In the fourth picture, on a pure black background, a blood-red irregular strip divides the picture into two, and the strip is still dancing up and down.
"Tail."
He answered questions one after another, and when he turned to the thirteenth page, it happened to be the last page. He had seen all kinds of strange and uncomfortable pictures before, so when the last picture, the huge moon in the starry sky appeared,
At that time, this normal picture surprised him:
"The last one... the silver moon, yes, the silver moon."
"finished?"
Mr. Richard asked, then nodded and took the album handed back by Shade:
"Different people flip through this album, and the content and number of pages they see are different. Usually there are three or four pages, but it is rare to see thirteen pages like you do."
His tone was very calm, but he still glanced at Shade. The look in his eyes made Shade feel more and more like a guilty person:
"Can you tell me the test results? Or do you need time to analyze them?"
He was very curious about the result.
"I can tell you now, but I want to declare: this is not divination or prophecy, it is just psychological analysis, so it may be completely wrong. If you are not satisfied, you can listen to my words as a joke."
After Xia De nodded to express his understanding, the old man looked at the record he had just recorded and said:
"Obviously, you like a lot of girls, they have beautiful eyes, they are twins, they are stronger and more attractive than you, and they have tails, which are your favorite features."
"This...I..."
"I'm just doing analysis, I don't guarantee right or wrong, so you don't need to defend yourself."
Mr. Richard said quite understandingly, obviously having seen similar reactions many times. Then, he drew the Holy Emblem in front of him:
"In the name of God, this result will not be spread. Besides, I don't even know you. Even if others know it, they won't know who it is related to... By the way, your result In fact, he is considered a normal person. Why are you panicking? I have seen people who like humanoid steam girls, humanoid cockroaches, rotting female corpses or worn-out high heels, so what do you mean?"
"Um...please continue."
Shade thought it was best not to dwell on this topic.
"You have a more conservative tendency towards marriage and love, and you are willing to give your sincerity to obtain love, and hope that the other party will do the same. You have a certain desire for control, but it is not very strong. You are greedy and desire more. ..."
"Ahem, can we skip to the next paragraph?"
"Okay, anyway, I'm almost done. The last paragraph is about your inner desire. This is not the type of girl you like, nor the love story you yearn for, but what you may not be able to see clearly, your truest self." Thoughts...you long for the moon."
Old Mr. Richard still said calmly, not caring what Shade thought at all:
"By the way, what's your age and family situation? If it's convenient, and your income status, I'd like to know your income bracket."
"About 22 years old, I don't have any relatives...at least I didn't find any relatives related by blood. As for the income...it's not much, but I have shares in the mine, and the girls around me like to be responsible. My expenses...oh, God, to be honest, I already regret sitting down."
"Then I'm glad that you don't have the ability to go back in time, otherwise I would have lost a record... Okay, the record is ready."
Mr. Richard hurriedly wrote down the last few strokes:
"I only do psychological analysis, but most people who accept my invitation like me to give a summary conclusion at the end. Are you interested in listening to it?"
Shade nodded. Since the investigation just now has been completed, of course he wanted to hear the end:
"Of course, please say."
"You yourself don't know what you want. You are chasing a dream-like goal. You are lonely, so you hope to be loved and long for a lot of love. You are afraid of losing, so you desperately want to hold on to what you have already obtained. thing."
Shade nodded again, pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time, and suspected that the other party was not a believer in the God of Love, but a believer in mind reading.
Mr. Richard was probably really used to seeing this kind of thing, so he didn't bother Shade to think about it. After a long time, he suddenly asked:
"Speaking of which, why are you looking for me?"
Shade also woke up from his thoughts. The psychological test just now shocked him:
"I saw a passage in an ancient book: love, the fusion of souls; sex, the collision of bodies; love, the connection of spirits; love, the promise of two people becoming one person.
This passage was inserted into the paragraph very abruptly and has no connection with the context, so I want to know what this passage represents. I happened to know Mr. Fulan, and they introduced me to you for help.
I will pay you."
Mr. Richard shook his head:
"Forget the reward, since you are a friend of those brothers and have accepted my psychological test, you can also be considered my friend. What you said is indeed one of the most important mottos before the demise of the sect.
.In the distant fifth era, before our Lord left, this sentence was printed on the first or last page of every church book. But now, this is one of the few divine spells we can still use.
Among them, it is part of the most special magical incantation... It can be said to be a thaumaturgy, but it requires the corresponding spiritual runes to be learned."
"What kind of magic is it?"
"Brother Fulun also knows that magic - connecting hearts. It requires spiritual runes such as [Connection], [Twin], and [Emotion] to learn it.
The basic function of divine magic is just to allow two people to communicate with each other without opening their mouths while holding hands. With mutual trust and emotional integration, they can transfer injuries to each other. However, the Fulen brothers have a special talent.
This divine spell has been developed into other functions, so by slightly changing the way of casting it, you can cast spells together. But if you want to do this, the casting requirements are also higher."
This requirement should refer to "twins" or "complete trust", but Shade did not have the corresponding spiritual rune and could not learn this thaumaturgy.
"Will this strengthen Dorothy and Lesia's bond?"
he asked in his mind.
【No, the fusion of souls will not be promoted so easily.】
Although it was not clear what Chloe meant, whether it was for Shade to find this magic trick, Shade still wanted to let Dorothy and Lesia give it a try. Shade remembered that they had "emotion" spiritual runes.
"So, can you teach me this magical skill? I can pay, or you can ask me to help with other things."
Shade then said, and Mr. Richard shook his head again:
"This is not under my control. This magic is the knowledge of the former Order and the knowledge of the current [Rosicrucian Order]. If you want to learn, go downstairs to find Upton and Hope. Upton is the successor of the Order.
The Keeper who came down, you need to ask for his permission to learn thaumaturgy. Hope is the treasurer of our outing this time. She will give you a price... I suggest you go to Kelly Hope first, eh
Puton has an eccentric personality. If you go to him directly, there is a high probability that there will be no results. But if you say that Hope has already made a price, he might be willing to talk to you."
So Shade said goodbye to Mr. Richard and prepared to go downstairs. Before leaving, the old man gave Shade a business card and invited Shade to come to his psychological counseling center if he had time to go to Willondale.
Sit down. From this point of view, this old gentleman should be regarded as a colleague of Dr. Schneider.
Kelly Hope, who is temporarily staying in room 211 of the hotel, is a lady who looks to be in her forties. Although she has wrinkles on her face, she is still very attractive. She wears a black dress and wears a ring on her left ear.
Pink crystal earrings, other than that her outfit is very simple.
The lady did not make any special request to Shade. After asking Shade to come in, she first listened to him finish what he had just seen and heard at Mr. Richard's place, and then nodded gently:
"No problem, this magic is knowledge that can be sold. But I want to warn you in advance, two people must learn this magic at the same time, so that they can communicate and communicate while holding hands. As for the effects of injury transfer and joint spellcasting,
There are more stringent prerequisites, which are not something ordinary friends can do.”
"It's okay, I want to give it a try."
Because Shade is a friend of the Fulen brothers, Ms. Hope did not offer a very high price. In Shade's estimation, the price of this thaumaturgy that contains many unique characteristics should be about
It was around 350 pounds, but in the end Ms. Hope only wanted Shade for 320 pounds.
When Shade took her approval slip and was about to persuade the last Mr. Upton, Ms. Hope asked Shade to wait again:
"I have a different view on the maxim you just told Richard."
"Isn't that the incantation of this magical spell?"
