Welcome to Nightmare Game III

On the way back, Xiaoxiao was very quiet.She seemed to have watched a tragic movie, unable to bring herself back from the story for a long time.

It turns out that Dr. Lu is a good friend of Mr. Qi. It turns out that the big crack in the square is the relic left by Mr. Qi when he fought Leviathan with half-shattered serious injuries. It turns out that the sentence on the label next to the sculpture is Qi An epitaph written by Mr.

Chief Judge Fu told her only a few words, each of which made her heart tremble.

She couldn't wait to confide her agitated and sad emotions at this moment to others, but President Fu suddenly lost his talkativeness.They sat on the steam train and returned to the trial hall in silence.

In Mr. Qi's office, she listened to Fu Yue's report and finished his work, but he didn't say a word about the bouquet of flowers.

After listening to Mr. Qi, he smiled and said to them: "Thanks for your hard work."

Not hard at all, she thought, she was just a little sad.

Mr. Qi's smile was calm, as usual, he also didn't say a word about his going to the shelter last night.

Xiao Xiao watched silently as Fu Yue chatted with Mr. Qi, and even made a few jokes about work.It's not a particularly funny thing, but Fu Yue smiled happily, stroked his beard and said that he would invite him to dinner, and comforted Mr. Qi for taking on all the work of the trial court during his absence. Mr. Qi was not polite He readily agreed, and jokingly said that he saved the money and specially held a reception banquet for him.They quickly finalized the time for the welcome banquet, which will be tonight.

Fu Yue said boldly: "Then I won't get drunk tonight."

But Mr. Qi begged for mercy: "Please let me go, I just drank last night."

Fu Yue chuckled: "Call the Creator and ask her to drink for you. This girl can hold a lot of alcohol. The last time I drank, we were all at the table, including a little alcoholic."

Mr. Qi nodded: "I asked her if she was free. She was very busy, either at work or on a date."

Fu Yue complained: "This is called seeing sex and forgetting friends. I see my boyfriend every day, but I haven't seen each other for half a year. Let her definitely come."

After confirming the dinner, Fu Yue led Xiao Xiao, who bowed his head and said nothing, out the door.

The door of the office was closed, Fu Yue patted his little shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Girl, be happy."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao pursed her mouth, suddenly wanting to cry.I don't know if it's because of mind reading, but she can easily empathize with others, even before entering the nightmare world, she can feel other people's emotions very well.

Just now, she listened to them chatting nonchalantly, obviously smiling, but she was pressed down to the bottom of the abyss by heavy and silent sorrow, and she felt unable to breathe.

Fu Yue said carelessly: "Look, I will be very silly. These days, happy is a day, and unhappy is also a day. There is nothing unhappy that is worth wasting this beautiful sunshine. Let's go and bask in the sun. The musty smell, the musty smell in the shelter is too strong, it makes my eyes hurt."

He is lying.

Because at this moment, Xiaoxiao read his heart, and in an instant, she was overwhelmed by the pain in his heart.

He knelt down in a pool of blood, hugged a woman's broken head, and cried hysterically in the dark. He called her name and begged her not to leave him in a hoarse voice. He couldn't live alone.

But he still survived, standing here slovenly, comforting the little girl who has never experienced life and death.

"I'll come as soon as I go to the bathroom." Xiao Xiao said vaguely, then quickly turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

The winter sun shone on her face, but her tears were like a downpour, as if she had left the Twilight Land that day.

………………

In the afternoon, Xiaoxiao received a new task. Mr. Qi asked her to write a short report on the investigation of the shelter and hand it over to Miao Li of the Intelligence Department.

Sitting in front of her desk, Xiaoxiao didn't know what to do for a while, and was fascinated by the flower arrangement on the corner of the desk.She noticed that there were such flower arrangements in many offices of the Heresy Inquisition, but not in other departments of the Inquisition, maybe it was a department benefit?she thought.

But the flowers are about to wither, so Xiaoxiao simply gets up to throw them away, and Sisi who is on the other desk suddenly raises his head: "Do you want to throw flowers?"

Xiao Xiao: "Oh, this flower is about to bloom, so let's throw it away."

Sisi said, "Such a beautiful flower, let's keep it for a few more days."

The seniors have said so, and Xiao Xiao has no objection. She took the opportunity to ask Sisi about the format of the investigation report. Sisi asked her to look for the old documents in the drawer. Her current desk is Secretary Anna. She wrote it before. files will be backed up.

Xiaoxiao found the template, bit the tip of the pen and began to write and revise, and begged Sisi to help her check it. It took two hours to finish writing this 80-word report, and she made a special trip to the technical support department. It was printed on a clunky black and white computer that looked like something out of the [-]s.

Mr. Qi passed her first report readily after reading it, but dictated a few details that needed to be supplemented, and suggested that she supplement it to Miao Li orally when she handed in the report.

Obviously, her report was not well written, and it was only because Mr. Qi was considerate of her work that he gave this compromise remedy.

Xiaoxiao asked Caucai in frustration, "Am I unable to do this job?"

Sisi sneaked through Fu Yue's travel notes while he was busy, and said without raising his head: "It's okay, Mr. Qi's requirements for written reports are not strict, as long as you can get by. But if you want to submit materials to Mr. Si Lin, you must let the comparison report." He carefully wrote and corrected the previous materials, and he was more careful, and he could even tell that the font size was wrong by one size."

Xiao Xiao sighed, picked up the printed documents and went to the Intelligence Department.

The intelligence department is very quiet and its location is very hidden. There is a vague sense of being spied on in the air. This may be the characteristic of the department engaged in intelligence work. It always seems to be watching everything at all times.

Xiaoxiao came to Miaoli's office, the door was closed and there was no light inside, she was not in the office.

This is how to do?Xiao Xiao scratched her head, and was about to go to the secretary's room next door and leave the report to her secretary, but she still wanted to add a few missing details...

Just when Xiaoxiao was struggling, the door of the opposite office opened, and the blindfolded fortune teller came out of his office, and found Xiaoxiao hovering at the door of Miaoli's office, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao hurriedly stood upright and saluted: "Good afternoon, Ms. Fortune Teller. I'm here to report to Miao Li on the follow-up investigation results of a previous disappearance case."

Fortuneteller: "Oh, I know that. Hermione sent you to find the whistleblower's case, right?"

A little startled, Ms. Miao Li not only ordered her, but also told her superiors about ordering her, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with ordering newcomers from other departments.

The fortune teller laughed: "She has something to go out. Come in, you can tell me the matter, and I will tell her."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment. Anyway, it was a report, and Miao Li, the second person in charge of the intelligence department, was not there. Her boss, the fortune teller, was willing to listen, so there shouldn't be any problem.

Thinking this way, Xiao Xiao obediently walked into the fortune teller's office, and reported how she happened to meet the reporter on the steam train, and learned that the missing person was the repairman in the hijacking case, and how she knew that the repairman had contacted the reporter. Been to the haunted shelter together... Finally she talked about exploring the shelter with President Fu this morning.

"There is nothing unusual. Chief Judge Fu believes that someone should have entered the closed refuge to explore out of curiosity, adventure, or simply lost a bet. In the end, they met other people and caused rumors of haunting. This kind of thing It's not the first time it happened." Xiao Xiao concluded.

"So that's the case. It seems to be just a misunderstanding and a coincidence. This kind of situation is also very common in intelligence work." The fortune-teller said softly, "I just didn't expect that the original disappearance case would be involved in a hijacking case, and it would bring out the ghosts." It seems that the direction of the hijacking is still to find the real culprit who killed the suspect inside the prison."

Xiao Xiao hesitated to speak, she wanted to say that there was also a problem with the person who reported the disappearance, and that the person who reported the case was suddenly poisoned to death, there might be a problem here as well.Is it because the hijacking maintenance worker was sent to prison, afraid of finding out his relationship with the informant?However, there was a whole day between the arrest of the repairman and the murder of the informant, so the speed of attack was too slow. After all, unlike a heavily guarded prison, the informant moved freely in Twilight Township, so there were many opportunities to strike.

After reporting on his work, the fortune teller made tea and poured a cup for Xiao Ye.

"Actually, when I saw the list of new recruits this time, I wanted to recruit you to the Intelligence Department. Your ability is very suitable for intelligence work. In the end, Mr. Qi took the lead." The fortune-teller said regretfully.

Xiao Xiao smiled embarrassedly, she thought the Inquisition Inquisition was pretty good.She took a sip of tea, which was jasmine tea, with a wonderful aroma and refreshing.But for no reason, she recalled the Hrisvato white coffee he offered her to drink when she met Mr. Qi for the first time. The sour and bitter taste made her unforgettable for a long time.

She stared at the Tarot cards and crystal ball beside the fortune-teller, and the curiosity in her eyes was observed by the fortune-teller's spiritual vision. She asked, "Are you interested in fortune-telling?"

Xiao Xiao nodded, and said: "But when I was in school, the teacher told me that I didn't have the talent for divination, and advised me not to waste time. I am not convinced, I think I will make a lot of money if I become a fortune teller." Earn, anyway, I can cheat."

What can be more "divination" than mind reading. As long as you read the inner needs of the guests, you can fabricate the future that the guests want to see, and the guests will definitely be satisfied.But in this way, divination becomes a spiritual treatment with a psychological comfort effect, and the meaning of divination is lost.

But treating divination and prophecy as psychotherapy seems to be a good direction, Xiao Xiao thought endlessly.

The fortune teller smiled and nodded: "Divination talent is indeed very rare. It requires high spiritual vision and intuition, and it has something to do with the original power. Moreover, the future is not static. The future I see now is only the most likely in the future. Any one variable may lead to a complete subversion in the future."

Xiao Xiao asked curiously: "Can't the divination person see the existence of variables?"

Fortuneteller: "There are too many variables, and you can't be sure which one will definitely happen. Even the fortuneteller may become one of the variables. But the fortuneteller can't see his own influence on the future, all the prophecy talents , cannot get rid of this.”

Xiao Xiao half understood: "Is it possible to explain it this way? If I ask you to predict who my future boyfriend is, you tell me that someone will be my boyfriend. I immediately approached him, and my attitude was too attentive, but he I doubted my intentions, so we did not come together. The result of divination did not come true, because the person who did the divination became a variable.”

The fortune teller smiled and said: "It can be understood in this way. But there is another possibility. It is precisely because you came to me for divination, and I told you about your marriage, so you found your lover. , are actually entangled because of my prophecy."

Xiao Xiao was puzzled: "But if this is the case, it violates the law that fortune-tellers cannot see their own variables?"

Fortuneteller: "I didn't see it, I just did it. That's a motto in divination."

Xiao Xiao frowned and pondered for a long time, and felt that she really didn't have the talent for divination.

She asked again: "Can the fortune teller see his own future?"

Fortuneteller: "Yes, I can't."

Xiao Xiao was even more confused.

The fortune-teller drank scented tea and explained: "There are too few people who have the talent for divination. I have only met a few. Everyone has a different answer. For example, in my eyes, everyone's future is in the fog Yes, some of the fog is thin and can see clearly, and some of the fog is thick, that is someone who is closely connected with me, but if it is myself, I can see nothing. There are also people who tell me that she can see herself countless One of the fate lines, I look at it every day, every day is different, she died tragically at the hands of the devil today, and died tomorrow, but she didn't know which variables caused the different results, so she was worried all day long."

Xiaoxiao is extremely curious. Although divination is difficult to understand, it is very cool.

The fortune teller continued: "It is said that a person with the highest prophecy talent can see his own influence on fate. The future that such a person sees is the variable 'self', and he even knows what he wants to do. Become a variable to leverage fate, and find the future he wants among hundreds of millions of futures. Therefore, this is the most accurate one."

Xiao Xiao let out a "wow": "Cool! Does such a person exist?"

The fortune teller didn't answer her question right away. She thought for a long time: "I thought it existed, but he died. The dead are no longer variables. Death ends everything. Talent, power, and ideals are all irrelevant." No matter how meaningful it is. The ruthless fate will just walk by his side and forget everything about him."

Xiao Xiao sighed sadly.

The fortune teller also sighed: "It's a pity. I also want to know what it would be like for a person with the highest prophecy talent to make a perfect prophecy that can only be made once in a lifetime."

Xiao Xiao: "Perfect prophecy?"

The fortune teller nodded and said: "Cross the barriers of the world, gain insight into truth, lies, and all variables that exist and have not yet existed, and absolutely accurate predictions."

Xiao Xiao showed a yearning expression: "If people have such abilities, what would they want to prophesy?"

The fortune teller thought again: "This is only one chance, anyone with the ability to predict will only want to know one thing."

What is it?own future?The future of important people?still……

Xiao Xiao seriously thought about it, and came up with an answer under the guidance of instinct: "Is it about the future of the world?"

The fortune teller was a little surprised and said: "Your teacher actually said that you have no talent for divination? Your intuition and thoughts are clearly insightful. You are not only curious about your own future, but also the fate of the world."

Xiao Xiao said embarrassingly: "Because I really want to know what the world will look like in the end. As for myself... I am just a very ordinary person, and I can guess my own ending."

Death, that's all.

Maybe on a mission in years from now, maybe tomorrow.Although she would be afraid and curious about why she died, the strong curiosity deep in her heart made her long to know something more important than her insignificant death—the fate of this world.

This feeling is like the insignificant human beings are driven by curiosity to observe the trajectories of the stars, and finally understand the mysteries of the universe. This insight gives human beings a meaning beyond existence.

The fortune teller said: "Yes, for most of the prophets, they are no longer important, and they will want to know the secrets of the world. Will this world have a bright future, or is it doomed to fall into darkness in destruction? We only want to know about it. Just like the legendary seers who stared at the sun until their eyes were burned blind in order to gain insight into the secrets of the sun, this is their pathetic curiosity. But more than the future, I want What you know is the past."

past?Xiao Xiao became more and more confused.The past is clear at a glance, what is there to worry about?

"In my opinion, the eternal mystery of mankind is not what the future will be like, but..." the fortune-teller said quietly, "Who am I?"

This is too philosophical, Xiaoxiao has a bitter face, as if she is back in a philosophy elective class, and just wants to skip this paragraph quickly.

They talked about divination again. Xiaoxiao didn't know much about divination. She only knew that in divination rules, clarity and accuracy cannot coexist. If a prediction is clear, it will be difficult to be accurate. will be clear.After talking with the fortune teller, she learned the law that clarity, accuracy and her own variables cannot coexist.

But the variable itself is full of mysteries. Sometimes it is a part of destiny itself, and sometimes it is the key to changing destiny.

Xiaoxiao, who has learned a lot of divination knowledge, politely said goodbye to the fortune-teller before leaving get off work, and thanked her for her guidance.

After talking a lot and drinking three pots of jasmine tea as a result, the fortune-teller said goodbye to her with a smile.

After leaving the fortune teller's office, the little mind walking in the corridor had many questions, not only about the fortune teller, but also about the fortune teller.

She read her heart three times, but the fortune teller always had only the same picture in his mind.

She was sitting in the office, divining with Tarot cards, and the cards would change every time.

But Xiaoxiao noticed that the jasmine tea on her table was always half-drinked, neither more nor less.Fortune tellers who love jasmine tea seem to be intoxicated in the mysteries of divination and forget to drink tea.

Is this a memory of hers, or a picture she is imagining?

Xiao Xiao stopped, and she suddenly realized a problem.

Could this picture be deliberately conceived by the fortune-teller?

Knowing that she has the talent to read minds, is the fortune teller guarding against her mind reading?

The author has something to say:

PS: The divination theory is made up, don't take it seriously.When writing the text, I might change the settings. After all, I am a person who often writes and revises even the outline... Now I plan to write according to this development.

When I was writing, it suddenly occurred to me that the prophet’s ordinary prophecy was wrong. He saw in the newborn Ning Zhou that he was destined to perish in pain and destruction, but he lied to Maria that the child had a bright future. Live your life in pious happiness.

At that time, Le Mei was still in the real world. She was a cute and round-eyed young lady who had just entered kindergarten. Through the barriers of the world, the prophets in the nightmare world could not predict him as a future variable.Until Le Mei entered the nightmare world, the prophet saw him, and when he saw Ning Zhou, the fate line had already changed.

The prophet's perfect prophecy was done long ago: a future that has seen a lot of suffering, a lot of sacrifice, a lot of despair, but in the end it's a beautiful future.So although you have to suffer, the nightmare game will have a happy ending!
