Grandin became interested, and he slammed his cards face up on the table and signaled that he would not play.

Borgia and Al breathed a sigh of relief, it was too much of a struggle to play with a player who was the same as the opener, and they ended the game as well.

"Lorota, what do you think is the difficulty of quitting smoking?"

Grandin dragged his chair closer to Lorota.

"I think it's hard in itself that you asked me to quit smoking!"

Lorota thought to herself.

She put down the cigarette in her hand, recalled her painful experience of quitting smoking in the past, and said slowly:

"Maybe I couldn't keep quitting smoking, but after a long time, I started to have headaches, insomnia and anxiety. Then, when I reacted, the cigarette was automatically lit again. ”

"Madam, you're not a big smoker."

The corners of Grandin's mouth twitched.

How can I help her and get her to cooperate with her actions? Just telling her 'I have a secret' is definitely not going to work.

With the rapid operation of his brain, he quickly thought of a more reliable statement.

"I've been teaching myself hypnotism lately, maybe I can help you......"

"The kind of circus show? I've been a believer since I was 10 years old. Grandin, we have to believe in science. Borgia leaned in, and he occasionally smoked a cigarette.

But at a recent ball, the smell of tobacco on his body was disgusted by the female partner he was dancing with, and if Grandin's method worked, he wanted to try it too.

"We are extraordinary, and we should believe in the occult!"

Grandin complained in his heart and said:

"I'm talking to you about psychology! Of course, there is also a bit of occultism. I will use some extraordinary means to assist in order to achieve better treatment results. ”

He found himself accustomed to lying.

"I hope the Goddess of the Night will forgive me."

Grandin held up his 'occult advisor' shelf, and the team members present were indeed calm.

So he pretended to light the incense which was calming, and in a hazy smoke he said in a calm and convincing voice:

"So, ma'am. Here we go. ”

"Lorotta, can you quit smoking for a year?"

Ostensibly, he was asking Ms. Lorota, but in fact he was asking about the "Numerology Tree".

The woman's head visually shows an extremely bright green light.

"What about a month?"

The light cluster does not change.

Without waiting for Lorotta to answer, Grandin asked another question:

"A week?"

"Three days?"

By the time she had been asked for three days, the light on her head had turned an unstable red. It seems that with her self-discipline, three days is the limit of Lorota's time to quit smoking.

On the other side, above the Black Lake, he has long evoked the "Book of Akasya", but it is different from modifying his fate. This time, whether it was the book or the fruit, he was very obscure when he used it, and he couldn't use it directly on Lorota.

"I thought, I can still do it without smoking for 3 days."

Lorota's answer this time was quite confident.

"Then we'll stick to it for a week." Grandin set a goal for her.

A week is an important time to quit smoking, and if you can last a week, you can last longer.

In order to motivate his teammates, Captain Al also stood up:

"As long as you can do it, I'll use the squad funds to order you a year's magazine! The kind of one that's all maids! ”

Al undoubtedly made a bloody investment for the health of the team members.

"So what do we do?" Lorota was in good spirits, and she was happy with the reward.

"Getting enough sleep and eating a healthy diet is fundamental. Secondly, when you want to smoke, you can also substitute some small snacks. Grandin recalls what he had learned in his previous life, thinking as he speaks.

"Lorota, I'll take your night shift this week."

Captain Al is in charge, and as a 'nightmare', he has very little need for sleep.

"If I can do what you say, will I be able to quit smoking?" Lorota asked.

She felt that Grandin's request was simple, and if it was just that, she was confident that she could do it.

"Yes, as long as you keep doing what I say, you can succeed."

When Lorota was inclined to quit smoking, Grandin saw a tender shoot grow in the ball of light above her head! It's a future!

Unlike in the past, Grandin could only passively wait for it to appear. This time, he personally helped others choose a future!

"We've got one last step left." Grandin returned to reality, his heart beating faster, and he stared at Lorrota and said:

"Ma'am, I will now solidify your resolve with occult rituals.

For the next week, you'll need to eat healthy. And whenever you want to smoke, it will automatically replace it with candy. Do you accept such a fate? ”

"I accept!" Lorota said firmly.

"Well, fate is chosen!"

Subtle quicksand patterns appeared in Grandin's eyes, and the "Tree of Numerology" came to reality through his body from above the Black Lake. It grabbed the branch of fate on Lorota's head and took a portion of her spirituality.

For a week from now, Lorota's fate will always go in the direction he has chosen. Grandin had already verified this in that 'sleepless night'.

Lorota pays the price, and the "Tree of Numerology" plans her fate.

Grandin didn't know if the two things were equal, but he felt that he had to have a commission!

The "Tree of Numerology" ignored him.

"How?" When Grandin had completed the god-like ritual, Borgia hurriedly asked Lorota how she felt.

"Feeling good, huh? It's just a bit of a craze for candy. Lorota felt a portion of her spirituality being drained, but she didn't think about it, as many rituals had this effect.

"I used hypnosis and rituals to change part of your perception. For the next week, every time you want to smoke, you'll be forced to eat candy instead. ”

Grandin explained.

Of course, this paragraph is a liar, but in terms of effect, it is similar to what he said, so it cannot be said that he is completely deceiving.

I was deceived, but I didn't cheat completely.

"Is it really that amazing?"

Al pulled out a tin-iron cigarette case from the inside of his shirt and shook it in front of Lorota.

He has no addiction to cigarettes and carries cigarette cases with him purely for entertainment.

"Captain, you don't want to pay for a year's magazine subscription, you can just say it!"

Lorota squeezed the words out between her teeth, she wanted sugar even more.

"In short, we can wait for the results slowly."

Grandin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and he decided to go home.

"It doesn't seem that I've gained new abilities, it's that my previous abilities have improved. But to help others choose their fate, you must get their consent. Isn't this completely useless in battle? ”

He walked slowly down the street, thinking about the question.

Suddenly, he paused:

"If you don't give a kickback, you won't even give me the fruit of fate this time?"

It seems that there is still a difference between the fate of the active election and the passive appearance.
