lost narrative poem

Chapter 350

"Is this the 'Tower'? "

Yukinoshita shuddered, this seemed to represent destruction?

It seems that no matter whether it is upright or reversed, there is no good interpretation of the interpretation of this card. In connection with what this person just said, does it mean that he will experience some very bad things next?

"Well, it is indeed a tower... What's the matter, Yukinoshita-san, are you also interested in Tarot cards?"

Xia Ran nodded lightly, took the tarot card back and began to shuffle it.Judging by his expression, it seems that he just picked out a random one and looked at it, without any special meaning in it.

But Yukinoshita didn't feel relieved because of this, because she knew that if this person wanted to hide something, it was basically impossible to expect him to reveal some clues from his expression.

"I'm not interested, I just learned some basic information recently, probably know some..."

The girl shook her head, denying such a possibility. She really had no interest in these things, at least not before, and even sneered.

If it is an ordinary high school girl, then she should be interested in talking about horoscopes, divination, etc., and even be addicted to them, unable to extricate herself, and firmly believe in those things... However, it is completely impossible for Yukinoshita to have such a thing. Performance.

Ordinary girls are full of romance, fate, and destiny...

At that time, Yukinoshita only knew science and rationality.

She knew very well what the Barnum effect was, and that it was a psychological phenomenon. Specifically, it was a general and general description of personality that people often believed to reveal their own characteristics very accurately.

——Even if this kind of description is very empty, once it is described in a general sentence that is applicable to almost anyone, then most people will think that this paragraph describes themselves in detail and is extremely accurate.

If such a calm girl like her would be manipulated by the Barnum Effect and be fascinated by these inexplicable things, that would be an unbelievable fantasy.

Even if she only learned about it recently, it was because she was involved in a non-knowledge incident, witnessed the existence of the mysterious world, and confirmed that someone around her was actually a part of it, so... she tried to understand Take a look at those things.

As one of the symbols of mysticism in the minds of most ordinary people, Tarot cards are naturally one of the items worthy of her special understanding.

It can also be seen from this incident that she asked Xia Ran for his study notes yesterday, not on a temporary basis, but had already had the idea of ​​wanting to learn more about his world before.

"That's it, but this is also normal... Actually, I only know a little bit, probably no different from you."

Xia Ran smiled at the girl, her tone was very gentle, and she said this sincerely——

"It's just to the extent that I know the interpretation of some cards, and the interpretation of upright and reverse. I haven't understood anything more in-depth."

"..."

"..."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Yukinoshita said angrily.

"what?"

"If you really don't understand anything, why do you use tarot cards for divination? Don't you think it's a joke?" The girl looked at him with contempt. No drafts.

Wait, wait, if this is the case, doesn't it mean that the result of his divination is really bad, and he doesn't really want to tell himself this kind of thing, so he pretends to be understated like this?

Yukinoshita's expression changed slightly, his eyes fixed on the young man in front of him: "What is the result of divination?"

"what?"

"What's the result of the divination?" The girl didn't show any impatience, but just repeated her question again, as if she was sure to get the answer.

"It's okay, not bad..." Xia Ran thought for a while and replied.

"Really?"

"Really..." The magician looked at the girl in front of him strangely, and then he seemed to understand something, and laughed dumbly, "The tower was just drawn out by me, and the divination was over before. That card doesn't mean anything."

Saying so, he drew another card from the deck of Tarot cards in his hand, but it happened to be the original tower, but this time it was reversed, while the one drawn before was upright.

Xia Ran looked at the faces of the Tarot cards, then shook her head with a smile——

"Sudden and unpredictable strong changes are unacceptable. No matter how proud human beings are, they cannot compare with the power of nature. Challenging nature will only attract the wrath of God... Is this the story of the Tower of Babel?"

Having said that, he also glanced at Artoria next to him. The King of Knights seemed to have mentioned this allusion before, but now he has drawn this card again...

But it was just a coincidence, he had already done the divination before, and now he just draws cards randomly to play, but when he happened to draw the tower, Yukinoshita came to the activity room and just happened to see it.

That's right, it's just a coincidence, it's not a big deal, and there's nothing to be afraid of...

"The upright position represents adversity, fatal blows, huge changes, playing with fire... But avoidance is not the way, we must be brave to challenge, even though it seems powerful."

The magician looked at the Tarot cards in his hand, restrained his thoughts, and said lazily——

"Reversed position represents difficulties, tends to stability, pride and arrogance will pay the price, and fight to the death... So don't blindly resist changes, because that will only lead to greater changes, no matter how you resist, changes will eventually happen."

He wisely chose the interpretation of career rather than the interpretation of emotion. After all, the latter...how stupid would it be to say it?

"It doesn't sound like a good idea, but it has nothing to do with me..." Xia Ran disapproved.

Yukinoshita raised her eyebrows, and looked at Saber subconsciously, only to see that the legendary girl king nodded lightly, which was a confirmation of the Master's statement - the divination was over before, and now Not divination.

The girl was more or less relieved, exhaled lightly, and then asked: "Then why do you say you don't understand Tarot cards?"

"I really don't understand. It's just that divination generally requires the use of a medium. For fortune-telling, you need to read palms, or measure words. In ancient times, there was a method of burning tortoise shells. As for astrology, six lines, plum blossoms, Don't talk about Qimen..."

Xia Ran explained it as a matter of course: "If I can directly foresee the future, or use the ancient scrolls, I don't need to be so troublesome... So I still need to use something to help me determine my fortune."

"So you used tarot cards?"

Yukinoshita didn't know what the Elder Scrolls were, so he just asked.

"That's right, it at least provides quite a good choice, and it gives each card a different interpretation and interpretation. Combining each other can also be said to be almost infinite possibilities..."

Xia Ran still looks like it should be taken for granted. He just thinks it is easier to use, so he chooses it. There is no other reason.

After all, at least every card in the Tarot card has a confirmed interpretation. Using it as a medium to substitute the correct divination method will make the interpretation more accurate and convenient... If you burn a turtle shell to see cracks, or look at tea residue, Or try to see the fog of the future through the crystal ball...

Let’s forget about this, it’s neither intuitive nor clear, it will definitely be influenced by your own subconscious when interpreting it, and non-top prophets can’t grasp it, Xia Ran feels that he is cramming like this, and he doesn’t have any talent yet. Forget about people.

Or the medium of tarot cards is more suitable, intuitive and clear.

"I understand..." Yukinoshita looked at this person carefully, and after making sure that he was not hiding anything, he nodded slightly, "But is this really not a problem? What you just drew is another tower card Bar?"

"Ah, you said this, there will be no problem, although drawing cards directly is actually a divination method that ordinary people can use, because in theory it is the most intuitive reminder and manifestation of fate, without other messy influences ..."

Xia Ran waved her hand, shuffled the cards disapprovingly, and then drew another card——

"But I drew it out again just to explain it to you. Otherwise, why would it be so accurate? If it wasn't cheating, it would be purely random, and there wouldn't be such a coincidence. Look... Huh? "

He froze for a moment, and found that what he pulled out was actually that tall tower again.

"..."

"..."

The activity room suddenly became quiet, and there was a strange feeling, so that the sunset outside the window seemed so dazzling this time.

"Ahem, this is definitely a small probability event, and it can't explain anything! Moreover, although this method is the most intuitive in theory, and ordinary people can also use it, it is only in theory, and there are still differences in practice..."

Xia Ran coughed, said with a serious face, then quickly shuffled the cards, and drew another card: "Look... this time it's not right?"

This time he drew a "magician" card, on which the four elements of the universe were placed, namely the scepter symbolizing fire, the sword symbolizing wind, the star coin symbolizing earth and the holy grail symbolizing water .

The magician holds a scepter in his right hand and points to the sky, and his left hand points to the ground. There are roses and lilies under his feet. There is an infinity symbol on his head. The belt is a connected snake, which is a symbol of eternity.

The interpretation of the card has many meanings, for example, it represents the transfer of power and the gift of spirit, for example, it expresses the motivation of human beings, and reflects the will of God...

Xia Ran also breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, this time it was also randomly drawn, if the tower was really drawn out, he would feel terrified.Fortunately, such small probability events did not occur continuously.

He tried to draw another card, this time a "Hanged Man" card, which was also not a Tower card.

Xia Ran suddenly felt relieved, and smiled slightly at the girl: "You see, this method is actually not very reliable, and there is no accuracy, so don't worry..."

Yukinoshita glanced at him, stretched out his hand and drew a card.

——It was a "lover" card.
