Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 91 Divination is amazing, right?
"Fate Night Divination Hall, it should be here. In other words, should I complain about this name..."
Guan Dounan looked up at the suspicious sign, pushed open the door, and walked into the divination hall on the edge of the red light district.
It's not enough to make money just by reimbursement from Amuro Toru, but the TV series on Kamidai Kei's side is far away, and if you go to pick up private work by yourself, you may face unexpected tasks in Lesson N at any time. After thinking about it, Guan Dounan finally chose one of the "legitimate cheating" professions - divination.
For various reasons, in neon, superstitions about the gods and gods are not uncommon, nor are they in the dark and invisible. From students to old people, everyone has their own superstitions, such as the Tarot constellation crystal ball, the torii shrine goddess, the rosary statue and the exorcism charm. There is a wonderful harmony between different religions and different cultures. Naturally, there are also divinations. a place.
Guan Dounan didn't do this on a whim. In fact, he had thought of creating a "metaphysical detective" image before, but the purpose changed from being famous to making money.
Different schools of divination have different ways to make money. Some famous ones can fight alone or even appear on TV frequently. Guan Dounan once thought of putting himself in the public eye in this way to ensure his safety, but now the situation There has been a change, and so has his selection criteria.
Therefore, he finally chose such a fortune-telling hall similar to an intermediary. The free fortune-tellers only need to pay some handling fees, and then they can make a name here and accept the divination entrustment from the guests.
"There is a very strong sense of sight, I should not have encountered any unborn baby of the evil god..."
After signing the contract, which was sloppy, and paying the initial membership fee, Guan Dounan randomly took the pseudonym "V" and became a free fortune teller. However, the receptionist's sister asked him to take a photo with a red face, saying that it was used when introducing to the guests, but Guan Dounan directly refused.
Just kidding, if you just rely on divination pits... well, if you make some money, it's still within Guan Dounan's own acceptance. But taking out photos to attract guests will give him the illusion that he has become some kind of waterfowl and some kind of special service industry.
"Then, your room is No. 3, and there are basic divination tools in it. Regardless of whether there is a request from a guest, the cost of using it for one day is 1,000 yen. The divination price you set is 1,000 yen for fifteen minutes. The upper limit is 30 minutes, and we take a 10% fee each time.”
The price of neon divination is not too high. Generally, it is calculated by time. The price set by Guan Dounan is basically above the middle price, but it is not outrageous.
"Besides... Do you really want to use 'finding objects' as the main selling point of fortune-telling?" The sister at the front desk asked hesitantly. Most fortune-tellers are used to fortune-telling in the future or how to change their luck. For example, Guan Dounan This kind of business is "retrieving lost things" as the main business, and it is the only business that is rare.
After all, this thing looks more like a detective, a police station, or a master's house.
"Yes, this is it, and this is the only one." Guan Dounan nodded, he would only divination the "past", the future fortune? He himself doesn't know what day tomorrow is, where to go to fortune-telling.
Taking the key, Guan Dounan walked into this small room. In order to create a mysterious atmosphere, the lights in the room were very dim, and there were all kinds of messy props beside it, such as crosses, crystal balls, tarot cards, peach wood swords, The lottery has everything, and it is quite similar to the compass of divination that he had asked Dr.
Guan Dounan doesn't care about this, the darker environment is just for him to use a stand-in. I don't know if it was luck or what. He just sat down on the chair and his **** was still hot when the bell at the door rang, which means that a guest chose to entrust him with divination.
"So soon... please come in." Guan Dounan said hello after wondering if he would be arranged again.
The door opened, and there was a beautiful woman with long hair who could make one's eyes shine. She was about twenty-five or six years old. She was slender and well-dressed. It's just that there is a frown on his brows, and he seems to be troubled by something - these things don't need to be summoned by Xiao Hei, Guan Dounan can see it himself.
Gu Gu
"Excuse me... You claim to be able to retrieve 99% of the lost things through fortune-telling. So, can you find the missing person?" When I came to see that the "diver" turned out to be Guan Dounan, a boy with an idol face A little surprised, but fortunately, he didn't turn his head and walked away, but hesitantly asked his own question.
"You can try it, but the success rate is not guaranteed." Guan Dounan replied, "The more relevant information you provide, the higher the probability of finding it."
"Then..." The visitor bit his lip, probably considering that 1,000 yen was not very expensive anyway, he sat down on the chair opposite Guan Dounan and took out a few magazines and a few photos from his carry-on bag." I hope you can help me with a divination about my father's whereabouts."
"His name is Shintaro, and he's a writer. The works he once wrote are..."
"Oh, it's the author of the "Detective Zuo Wen" series...he is missing?" Guan Dounan saw the magazine that the woman took out at a glance. Conan, a reasoning fanatic, has always maintained the habit of reading mystery novels. "Detective Zuo Wen Wen" " series is one of his favorites. This work, which was once announced to end, has recently been serialized and re-launched, and Guan Dounan also understands part of it.
"Yes, my name is Shinname Kabori. In fact, although the novel has been serialized, my father disappeared a week before the serialization began, leaving only a note of 'go out for a while'. Neither did my father Mobile phones, I have asked all my relatives and friends, but no one knows their whereabouts, only a serialized manuscript will be faxed to the editorial department every Saturday..."
Their parents disappeared overnight, and the new name, Xiang Baoli, tried every means to find them, and even suspected that they had been kidnapped. He chose to find detectives and police, but still to no avail. Since her parents disappeared, she has been out and about for several days, and she has not even slept properly a few times.
Perhaps at the beginning, the new name Xiang Baoli was just holding a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and wanted to give Guan Dounan a divination, but her emotions became more and more sad, and in the end she even covered her face and cried directly. Not good at comforting people, I can only hand over a box of paper and listen silently.
"...Sorry, I've lost my way." After recovering from the excitement, Xinmei Xiangbaoli's face turned slightly red, he lowered his head by looking at his watch, and staggered eye contact with Guan Dounan, "It's been seventeen minutes, press three Ten minutes in total, right? I'll pay two thousand yuan, I'm sorry to hear you hear me say so much..."
"Well, it doesn't matter, I can understand your emotions. After all, you are your parents. There are signs of activity, but there is no contact at all." Guan Dounan nodded and randomly drew from the tarot cards on the table. One looked at it, "Then, I have found the current position of Ling Zun."
"I'm sorry to bother you... What did you say?!" The new name Xiang Baoli just regarded Guan Dounan as a chat with him listening to his narration. He didn't expect that he would really be able to find his father. At this time, the movement of standing up suddenly froze. , looked at Guan Dounan in disbelief.
"Position of the 'Pope', 'Advice from a trusted person, a good object of consultation, and spiritual satisfaction'," Guan Dounan showed the tarot card in his hand, explaining its meaning, but he only used the card face The meaning of it is to forcibly attach to it and explain the information that I have seen from Xiao Hei.
"It seems that Ling Zun should be with someone he can trust, and his disappearance is not because of any accident or accident~www.mtlnovel.com~ just for some kind of spiritual satisfaction... Well, it should be in In the newly serialized novel, right? I heard that Shinmei-sensei challenged the readers before."
"As for your current position..." Guan Dounan drew another card, "Reverse 'control', the figure in the picture is holding the Holy Grail, perhaps in a position related to the 'cup'. Although Ling Zun is safe, he may be physically Not very healthy, so..."
"Miss Xiangbaoli, you must have not been back to your hometown, where your parents live, for several days, right?"
"This, yes, yes, my hometown is in Saitama prefecture, and I have been staying in hotels in Tokyo recently." The new name Kabori replied with some sincerity.
"Your parents should know the phone number of your hometown. They may have called home, but you didn't get it because you came to Tokyo to find them... Later, you can try the phone call forwarding function, so that when your parents call home, You can get it on your phone."
The new name Kabori widened her eyes and looked at the smiling man in front of her who seemed to have everything under her control. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what he said made sense, but why didn't she think of such a simple thing herself? ?
Divination...really amazing!
