Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 14 It\'s not reasoning, it\'s divination
Reiko and the other girls were thinking about how to persuade Haruko when they saw a hand stretched out and randomly picked one of the scrambled tarot cards upside down.
"Reversed [Justice], it's still this one."
Several girls raised their heads, Guan Dounan pressed the tarot card on the table, and said slowly, "What you are asking is 'where is your other earring'. 'Imbalance, prejudice, disturbance, lawsuit', There should have been a math class in the morning three days ago, you were scolded by the math teacher, right?"
Guan Dounan pressed the card on the table with his right hand, and raised his index finger with his left hand, sticking it to the left side of his lips, revealing a faint smile, which made a few hot girls blush.
"I want to show myself in front of girls but pretend to be mysterious", probably this is the taste... Guan Dounan, while carrying out such a role, recalled the image from [Mirror] just now in his mind.
[Haruko, who was sleeping on the desk, was woken up by the math teacher and severely criticized. 】
"Yes, yes, because I didn't sleep well the night before, so I fell asleep in class..." Haruko said hesitantly.
"'Do your own thing, and have a conscience'. Although you did something wrong, you still chose not to listen. You even closed the math textbook and didn't want to open it. You just painted there in today's math class, right?"
He gently pressed his left index finger on the forehead, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly said what he "saw".
[After receiving the criticism, Haruko sat down angrily, without reading, just closed the math book, lying on the table and sulking. 】
"What's the matter, anyway, I don't understand mathematics, and I don't plan to go to any university..."
"Then, 'I can't have both, the inside and the outside' may answer your question." Guan Dounan opened his eyes and smiled, "I suggest you open your math book."
"What does this have to do with the math book... ah!" Although Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by what Guan Dounan said, Haruko tentatively took out the new-looking math book from the desk and flipped through it suspiciously.
In the gap between the pages, a sapphire blue earring only the size of a grain of rice was lying there, squeezing the next page slightly out of shape.
[Before Haruko sat down, the ear stud on her left ear accidentally fell off and fell into the gap in the math textbook, and was immediately wrapped in the page and disappeared from view. 】
"I think it was when you were in class that day that you were criticized by the teacher. You were in a state of anger and did not find that the earrings fell into the gaps in the book. The paper used in our textbooks is soft, and your earrings are relatively small. , so I didn't feel anything unusual, and then because you didn't open the book and read it because of your own relationship, you thought it was lost."
Guan Dounan said with a smile, after using the ability to "see" the whereabouts of the earring, he was organizing the language, how to explain the whereabouts of the thing reasonably.
It is quite difficult to make up nonsense with a metaphysical color, at least it is much more difficult than when he made up nonsense with paratrooper leaders and paratrooper colleagues on a daily basis. After all, there were a large number of samples at that time for reference, but the performance of "metaphysical reasoning" counted. "Normal" is really bad.
As for why it is a gap in mathematics books, it can only be said to be a coincidence. Guan Dounan said this because it happened to be in that position. Originally, he thought it had fallen into a crack on the road or was picked up by someone.
"It's amazing... Did you already see it at that time? No, you were late that day and didn't come to the first math class at all. Did you deduce it? No, even Kudo Shinichi can't do that. Reasoning? Are you more powerful than him?!"
Guan Dounan, why didn't you come to class that day? Why are those images so clear? I thought you saw it with your own eyes...
Complaining about the original body in his heart, Guan Dounan's smile did not change, he stretched out his hand to draw another card from the tarot card, and circled his fingers around the back of the card, slowly uncovering the card surface.
"It's not reasoning, it's divination."
This tarot card is [World] reversed.
The class bell rang just at this moment, and Guan Dounan turned back to his seat and sat down, leaving only a mysterious back to a few girls.
The performance of this image should be quite successful, you can try more... Guan Dounan evaluated his performance in his heart.
…
Nothing happened in the afternoon, class calmly, dozing off calmly, watching others being thrown at the chalk head by the teacher.
"Student Dongshan, do you know which window is the 'window that someone tapped on the shoulder' you mentioned before?"
Because there is no lunch break at noon, the afternoon school hours are much more in the morning. At this time, it was around 3:30 in the afternoon. The students in the original classroom had already walked seven to eighty-eight. Those who should go home should go home, and those who should go to participate in club activities should participate in club activities.
Guan Dounan didn't plan to go home yet. He planned to use this time to investigate the so-called supernatural incidents on the campus. After all, Ryota Banshang and Masato Sancheng didn't come to school today, and wanted to understand the possible "letting the results of their actions in another." The ability of time to work” can only start from this aspect.
He was not able to use it proficiently after awakening his stand-in, presumably 30% of the normal people may also have this situation. If you want to be familiar with abilities, the most important thing is undoubtedly practice, and practice will leave traces, and traces may be used as the source of material for supernatural events.
When Guan Dounan was pressed his head into the water, 30% of Zhengren were still in the classroom, unless he could observe what was happening in the bathroom from a distance and seize the opportunity to adapt to the scene. Otherwise, some kind of catalyst must be set up, otherwise it is easy to miss the exact time when Guan Dounan was standing in front of the sink.
Although this kind of catalyst is likely to be a one-off, if you can find people who experienced it at the time, listen to their experience at that time, or find something that can be used as a catalyst on the window, you may be able to decipher what the ability of Sancheng Zhengren is. , and also have the opportunity to attack him...
When you don't know the ability of others, you rashly seek it out and settle the account, and it is likely to give it for nothing.
Among the supernatural events in Liutiao Didan High School, only this one's performance is closest to Guan Dounan's speculation.
"Ah? Guan Jun, are you interested in this? Oh, yes, you are still a fortune teller." Haruko and Reiko seemed to have found the answer by themselves, with a stunned look.
"I remember that the window should be outside the classroom of Class C, right?"
"No, no, it's the second window opposite the library. I heard that **** handprints were printed there."
"You remember correctly? The **** handprint is on the window of Class B of the second grade. I heard that the prisoner who was once arrested by the second grade Kudo Shinichi died in the prison and came out to take revenge..."
"Fake, right? I heard that the prisoner's revenge suddenly appeared at Kudo Shinichi's girlfriend's house..."
"…"
It's getting more and more outrageous... The corner of Guan Dounan's mouth twitched, and when the two gradually shifted the topic to other nonsense and gossip, he thought it was better to investigate it himself.
Maybe after checking the little black search questions, the conditions for activation will be met again.
[Reflection] This ability is like a very, very bad card-drawing mobile game. Characters, weapons, props, skills, and even the plot are unlocked by drawing different card pools, and draw in each card pool. The gems used in the cards are not the same, and the amount of the cards is different. Some are 50 a draw, some 1000 a draw, and there is the kind of free friendship pool...
"It's a crumb game. Is it okay to plan your family?"
…
"Um…"
Leaning out of the window and waiting for about five minutes, but still no response, Guan Dounan returned to the corridor and thought.
Nothing happens, this ability is a one-time thing, once it's used it won't reappear? When I went back to the bathroom where the incident happened yesterday, I didn't have the triggering ability either, which seems to be the case.
In this way, the ability of Sanchengzhengren should be described as [make an action at a certain time, but do not produce results. At the same time set a catalyst, when someone triggers this catalyst, the result of the action will appear. The catalyst should only work once. 】
Then the key now is to find the catalyst. If his catalyst only needs "target presence", then confronting him will risk being killed twice.
No obvious foreign objects were seen on several windows and on the sink, was it cleaned up? Or, the way he sets up the catalyst is to "turn" something into a catalyst, like slamming the window frame with his tongue... ugh...
Guan Dounan, who was disgusted by his own thoughts, shook his head and looked at the sky outside. Today's weather is not very good, the clouds are dense, and it looks like it will rain soon.
"I don't seem to have heard that it will rain today. The weather is fine in the morning... Let's go back quickly, don't be blocked by the rain..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a little water on the glass of the window, and then, the water gradually increased, and there was the sound of pattering rain outside.
"…"
Guan Dounan decided to take a stroll in the teaching building first, to see if he could meet a student who hadn't returned home to lend him an umbrella, or if the rain stopped before that.
If there are any other places where there will be students who haven't returned home, it's probably the library or the student club activity room... Let's just do a divination.
Guan Dounan has a little difficulty in choosing, so he often relies on dice or clicking chickens to decide his actions. He took out a five-yen coin and tossed it, and it landed heads.
Tidan High School Library.
Before Guan Dounan opened the door, he heard a woman's voice coming from inside. Generally speaking, the library needs to be kept quiet, so this woman's voice was particularly harsh.
"...And it's still four days in a row! I think Hosaka-senpai must be unable to re-read these books, so it's hard to regret it!!"
Pushing open the door and entering, standing in front of the front desk are Kudo Shinichima Lilan and two other girls who had met in the morning, both with short hair. One of them has a similar temperament to her sister Guan Shanyue, and she is kind of handsome. I felt that the other girl had short brown hair with noodle, and the front hair was fixed with a headband, revealing a smooth forehead. At this moment, she was covering her mouth in hindsight, while the other students sitting in the library looked at her with expressions of helplessness and disgust.
This shape should be Suzuki Sonoko, right? She looked good in that movie with her hair down. The other one I don't know, is there her in the original work... She is with Kudo Shinichi Mao Lilan and has an iconic headband. It is not difficult for Guan Dounan to guess that one of them is the eldest lady of the Suzuki consortium, and her super power is money. kind of ability.
"Yo." Guan Dounan also raised his hand symbolically when the eyes of the four turned around. I don't know if it was his delusion or not, the moment Suzuki Sonoko saw him, the cross-shaped light appeared in his eyes like in the comics.
"Ah, Senior Guan..." Kudo Shinichi and Xiao Ran also said hello, but Xiao Ran was halfway through speaking when Yuanzi tugged her arm fiercely.
"Okay...Well, Xiaolan, do you know this handsome guy? Quickly, introduce me..."
"Let's go out and talk." Kudo Shinichi said, "After all, this is a library, so it's not suitable for chatting."
"Okay." Guan Dounan, who hadn't entered the door yet, kept the door by the way, let the four of them go out, and gently closed the door by himself.
It's just that the last handsome short-haired girl looked at him with a strange look.
