Professor Yi sat behind his desk.

Page after page, very patiently opened the pile of information that Lao Yao brought.

From time to time, he raised his head and carefully looked at the young public-funded student sitting across from him.

Professor Yao quietly buried himself in the thick smoke - I don't know if it was the special effect of the pipe, or if it was some spell cast by Old Yao, the blue-white smoke swirled around him three feet, and not a single wisp escaped.

Zheng Qing sat upright in his chair with his hands on his knees, his back straight, and the two badges hanging on his chest shone brightly even in the gloomy room.

It's very hard, very hard to maintain this regular sitting posture.

But in order to make a good impression on the stern divination professor opposite, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

Minutes and seconds passed.

When the elves in service changed the cup of hot tea on the desk for the third time, Professor Yi finally put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses, and rubbed his slightly puffy eyes.

The elf quickly brought a hot towel and put a compress on the professor's face.

"Very interesting...... Very interesting indeed. Professor Yi's face was covered with a towel, and his voice was a little dull, but the curiosity and excitement in his tone were very clear even through the towel.

This puzzled the young public-funded students.

He didn't know what the divination professor found interesting.

"That's why I brought him to you...... I didn't even mention it to Emma. Lao Yao bit his pipe and said indistinctly, his voice full of laughter: "Having said that, this talent is still very useful...... I remember you did a good job with the Nianzi force field, so I handed him over to you. ”

Professor Yi ripped off the towel on his face, threw it to the elf, stared at Lao Yao with burning eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Don't explain...... I know you're just taking a fancy to my private notebook. ”

Professor Yao immediately coughed violently, making people feel that he would cough out his heart and lungs at any time.

Zheng Qing turned his head worriedly and glanced at him.

Lao Yao waved his hand again and again, signaling that he was okay.

After a long time, he gasped, sat up again, and laughed hoarsely: "News about him...... Aren't you curious?"

"Are you sure?" Professor Yi immediately asked rhetorically.

"Confirmed, confirmed...... Identified several times. Lao Yao waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, and shook his head again and again: "I can't see anything else except that familiar breath...... Why don't you try? I've already let him witness his dreams before...... There are only a few specious fragments...... I couldn't even touch a piece of his clothes. If it weren't for the Great Wizards' Council's overly strict management of the elixir......"

Behind the desk, Professor Yi coughed heavily, interrupting Lao Yao's unscrupulous nagging.

Zheng Qing listened to the illogical conversation between the two professors, and only felt that his brain hurt.

His instincts told him that there was something in the words of the two professors.

"All the fragment can tell us is a few possibilities...... These may be strung together by a single thread. The professor of the divination class turned his head to look at Zheng Qing, reached out and took out a deck of tarot cards from the drawer, cleaned them smoothly, and warned slowly:

"If you can't find a clue, no amount of footage you see is fake...... Never touch these clips...... Well, let's do a little test before we formalize the treatment plan. ”

Zheng Qing stared blankly.

The professor's words seem to be philosophical, but they are too empty to be completely confusing.

"Draw one. ”

Dozens of tarot cards hovered in front of Zheng Qing, and Professor Yi nodded at him.

The young student breathed a sigh of relief at last—he could finally understand what the professor was saying.

Without hesitation, Zheng Qing immediately stretched out his hand and pointed to a card in front of him.

Professor Yi didn't let him see the cards, but put the tower card away, and said to Lao Yao with a straight face: "Since it involves his clues...... I'll just work harder. ”

"Well said, well said. Lao Yao nodded with a smile.

Professor Yi turned his gaze back to Zheng Qing.

"I have read some of the test data provided by Lao Yao, and I also agree with his judgment. You are indeed an eyewitness. "Unlike when he was lecturing, in the office, Professor Yi's voice seemed a little faint, and he would drift away if he was not careful.

Zheng Qing had to work hard to concentrate and pray that he would not miss the point.

"However, eyewitnesses are also different from eyewitnesses...... It's like there won't be two identical leaves in this world. ”

"In divination, special attention is paid to this nuance. ”

"Are you curious why your dean would ask a professor of divination like me to make a treatment plan for you?"

Zheng Qing nodded involuntarily, and then immediately woke up and shook his head quickly.

As if sensing the playful smile on the face of the professor opposite, he stubbornly explained, "Professor Yao said that you are an authority in the field of thoughts......"

"On this matter...... It has little to do with the Nianzi force field. Professor Yi interrupted Zheng Qing's explanation and asked, "What do you know about the witnesses?"

"Witnesses belong to a special kind of divination profession...... Zheng Qing frowned, trying to scavenge the sporadic trace of pitiful memories in his mind, and packed them up for resale: "Well, they are better at obtaining the divination elements in dreams...... Well, it is possible to get some fragments of the past, or present, or future through dreams...... Depending on the strength of the ability, the richness of the acquired fragments also varies...... Oh, and there are eyewitness dream clips that can be used as evidence in court. ”

Lao Yao's low laughter came from behind him.

Zheng Qing's face immediately turned red.

He basically learned this information from Professor Yao, and in some cases he even copied Lao Yao's rhetoric completely.

The original book is behind him, and it does inevitably make people laugh.

Professor Yi didn't seem to notice the embarrassment on the young wizard's face, but added, "Although what you said is good, it is not accurate enough...... Fragments of dreams that are presented as evidence in court must be retrieved from memory and presented in special containers. And any kind of memory extraction spell has a certain amount of damage to the wizard's spirit. ”

Zheng Qing was terrified.

Although he doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as Conan Holmes, he will never want to do so if that honor comes at a cost to his mental health.

Professor Yi's voice became a little serious: "So, you have to be clear...... Gain and pay, or success and price, are equivalent. If you want to get the truth, you have to pay the same price. ”

Zheng Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva quietly.

"Your head disease is actually part of these costs. ”

Zheng Qing immediately pricked up his ears.

"It's like I told you in the previous class. Divination is an act of stealing heavenly machines. All things in heaven and earth operate naturally, and interpersonal interactions are self-generated. Divination requires the laws of operation and cause and effect. ”

"According to Moore's Law, the degree of perturbation of information is directly proportional to the ease of access...... In other words, the easier the information is obtained, the less perturbation there is. ”

"It's a little hard to understand?"

"Let's put it this way, like a fireball spell, its power is proportional to the spell's counter-devouring power. The more powerful the spell is, the stronger the backlash, and the less powerful the spell is, the weaker the backlash. ”

"In the theory of information unification, spells can be approximated as the way of obtaining information, and spell regurgitation can be approximated as the degree of information disturbance...... The easier the information is available (the weaker the spell), the less disturbed the information (the lighter the backlash). ”

"Your head is a stress response caused by information perturbations. ”

"It's easy to understand. ”

Zheng Qing stared at a pair of mosquito coil eyes, trying to restrain himself from completely fainting.

"Divination is also a type of magic, so it is also strictly based on Moore's Law...... I've told you more than once in class before...... Never wave the thread of fate at will, and no one knows if behind that thread is the sword of Damocles hanging over your head. ”

Speaking of this, Professor Yi suddenly felt a little excited.

He snapped his fingers, and the tiny starry sky above him suddenly burst into a brilliant light, illuminating the otherwise dim office a lot.

The professor took out a notebook from the drawer, put it in front of Zheng Qing, and ordered, "This notebook is the reason why Lao Yao asked you to come to me." ”

"The soothsayers have captured the most information in the world, so they are the most affected by the information disturbances. ”

"In the tradition of every school of divination, there is a way to resist the disturbance of information. ”

"In the eyes of any wizard, this is a secret. ”

"But this is the number one university. This notebook belongs to all the soothsayers of the First University...... I'm just keeping it for me...... Then choose the right person to pass it on. ”

"Of course, just because you read this note doesn't mean you're the heir to the First University Fortune Tellers. ”

"It's just because you're from the first university, and you're a very special student. ”

"It's just qualified. ”
