Less than a minute later, Edward and Xie Qi were the only ones left in the room.

Looking at the man who was sorting the tarot cards on the table, Edward couldn't help but joked, "It seems that you are very knowledgeable about tarot cards?"

Outside the door, he heard the medical staff of the mental hospital talking about Xie Qi's tarot cards. Everyone who had fortune-telling with him was excited and said that he was too accurate.

As a psychologist, he naturally understood that the root of tarot cards was a symbolic language that expressed the collective psychology of human beings. Most people would pick out the content related to themselves from the words of the fortune-teller, and then think that the other party was accurate.

Maybe some people really studied this deeply, but Edward believed that they were all thorough in their research on human nature and psychology, and could infer most things from the consultant, just like an excellent detective or psychologist, who could also do this.

"Good morning, Dr. Winston, do you want to have a fortune-telling too?"

Xie Qi was wearing a blue hospital gown and a silver metal collar around his neck, which showed his current heart rate.

He smiled and took 22 cards, sat on the sofa by the window and said to Edward.

"Good morning, Mr. Ivan, I don't need it, I don't have anything special to know."

Edward politely refused.

"Yes, the intelligent brain has already allocated everything for you, just follow it and you can live a good life."

Xie Qi reshuffled the cards while speaking, and then took out five cards on the small table between the two of them to form the simplest card array - the magic cross.

One card each on the top, bottom, left and right, and one in the middle.

Edward was silent for a while after hearing Xie Qi's words, and then sat opposite him.

"Then let's continue our last conversation. You said before that you were killed on a cruise ship, and you have no impression of what happened afterwards?"

Edward pointed out the question he had been thinking about for three days. If Xie Qi's first story last time was closer to reality, then the second experience on the deserted island seemed like a fantasy, and the third experience, which was separated from the first two, was between reality and fantasy. He instinctively felt that this might be the entry point to Xie Qi's heart.

His purpose of coming here was to cure the patient. The intelligent brain and the dean all judged that Xie Qi had mental problems, so they put him in the mental hospital.

According to his judgment, Xie Qi was not mentally ill. If he told Sharp about this, Xie Qi would most likely be imprisoned in Blackgate Prison for guiding the patient to commit suicide. At that time, he would naturally not be needed for psychological counseling, and the two would never see each other again.

Xie Qi did not seem to notice Edward's complicated mood. He did not reply, but just turned over the first card on the left.

"Oh, it's the Pope in the right position. It seems that you are doing a good job, doctor, and your career is stable and developing smoothly."

Edward raised his eyebrows, "Thank you for your compliment."

This kind of thing can be known just by looking at his appearance.

He wanted to continue the formal conversation, "Don't you want to talk about this topic? Then can we talk about how you spent the past three days? It seems that the medical staff like you very much."

Xie Qi smiled faintly, "It's okay, I just wandered around casually. Whether it's patients or doctors, everyone here is very nice."

As he said, he turned over the second card on the right.

"Oh? The Moon in the upright position, it seems that your relationship has not been going well recently, doctor. It seems that your lover suspects that you are having an affair?"

Xie Qi touched his chin, as if he didn't notice Edward's sudden change of expression.

Edward pursed his lips and wanted to ask him how he knew.

Recently, because he often goes out, his girlfriend is a little suspicious that he has changed his heart, otherwise she wouldn't have insisted on staying in his apartment the day before her first visit.

Recalling that he had never mentioned his relationship status to anyone in the mental hospital, and even the fact that he had a girlfriend, he wanted to know how Xie Qi, who had only met him twice, knew about it.

But he didn't think about it in a metaphysical way, just thought that the other party had inferred it from his words.

Without waiting for Edward to answer whether he was right, Xie Qi turned over the top card one by one.

Justice reversed.

Xie Qi showed a mysterious smile on his face, and continued to turn over the cards without saying anything.

Hanged Man reversed, and then the last card -

Death.

Old things come to an end, and new things are born in this world.

A new king is about to be born.

"What do these cards mean?"

Edward saw that Xie Qi had been silent, and he couldn't control his curiosity and asked.

Although he didn't believe these things in his heart, when he encountered this situation where he guessed his situation slightly, he also wanted to know what Xie Qi would say next.

"These three cardsThe card says that you will have a turn for the better soon, and whether this turn for the better or worse depends on you. "

Say what most charlatans would say, Xie Qi put the cards away.

Hearing Xie Qi's words, Edward shook his head in his heart, laughing at himself for being fooled.

"By the way, doctor, there may be a party here when you come next time, let's play together then."

After Xie Qi finished this sentence, the smile on his face made Edward doubt his ears.

Why didn't he hear about any party in the mental hospital when he was talking to the nurse just now?

"Party? Does the dean know about this?"

"Dean? Are you talking about the bearded gentleman? Oh, of course, he will know."

Edward now feels that his judgment may be a little inaccurate. The man in front of him may really have some mental illness, but it is well hidden, and no one can find it under normal circumstances.

"Okay, today's conversation time is over. "

Xie Qi stood up and planned to end the meeting.

"End? But it's less than 20 minutes now." Edward also stood up, not understanding why Xie Qi was so eager to leave.

"I don't think there is any need to continue. It's almost time for the morning news. I'm going to watch TV."

Xie Qi said to Edward seriously, and then left him alone in the clinic with a confused look on his face.

After Edward sorted out his thoughts and went out, he found that the dean was not outside, and only the head nurse was waiting for him.

"Dr. Sharp didn't come today?"

Edward was a little confused. Judging from the other party's attitude last time, he should have come to listen to this conversation no matter how busy he was.

"The dean has been called to the city these days. I heard that he will be back tomorrow. "

The head nurse's words made Edward's heart jump. He thought of the many criminals who suddenly appeared in the news recently, and wondered if there was a connection between the two.

"Come to think of it, this patient also appeared suddenly. Maybe he knows those unidentified people?"

The head nurse's words also reminded Edward. Thinking of what Xie Qi said just now about watching the news, he planned to follow up on this matter when he returned to the city.
