82. Tokyo Bay Cruises and the Barnum Effect
Eiwa's students were all mobilized by the puzzle-solving tasks designed by the guards, and they shuttled up and down the decks of each level.
Many people sprinted at full speed past the Asama trio.
I really envy this youthful vitality!
Asama is the kind of person who is in awe of the unknown, so he will reduce the necessary activities;
An energy-saver who is indifferent to what is known, so it reduces necessary activities.
Don't do what you don't have to do, and keep everything you have to do.
Be able to sit without standing, be able to lie down without sitting, never ask for trouble, never do eye-catching things, reduce the sense of presence and reduce social consumption, try to repeat if you don't want to talk, and admit defeat immediately when you encounter a dispute.
After all, there is only physical strength 3, and the endurance is equivalent to the NEDC pure electric endurance version of Wuling Hongguang MINI, which is incomparable with other students who have a range of 600 kilometers at every turn.
Every grid of electricity must be used reasonably.
If you are motivated to do anything, you will only hurt yourself!
Just thinking about trying to force three days of play in this [cruise game] designed by Chiyo Konoe, Asama's brain can't help but hurt.
This is purely a ghost who has gotten on the thief ship.
Wandering on an isolated island in a storm, living in a mountain villa in a blizzard, and boarding a plane hijacked by terrorists, countless troublesome scenes flashed through his mind as they are now.
[In Class A of one year, Hayato Ryuzaki used cheating props to judge that the mission failed and was out. 】
[One year of class K, Kiyoichiro Yasaka used cheating props to judge that the task failed and was out. 】
[This puzzle solving task, the second completer, the second year class D, Gui Gongping. 】
[In this puzzle-solving task, the third completer, Class A of one year, has Ma Jiyan. 】
Surprise news came one after another on the radio.
I don't know why Class A's low-key school Barozaki cheats, but when I heard that Yasaka, a guy from Class K who suddenly appeared and didn't look easy to deal with at all, also cheated, Asama felt that things weren't that simple.
Since the one-year K class combined with the three-year R class, the collective combat atmosphere of Yinghe Academy has been mobilized, and there are more self-preservation small teams like the three Asama.
In the absence of mobile phones and electronic devices, the organizational ability of each group is reflected.
Sightseeing elevators and ordinary elevators are controlled by different groups of people, and ordinary people don't give it, focusing on a delaying tactic.
Naturally, the three of Asama didn't touch this moldy head.
Futami is in charge of pointing the way to Asama and Fukasawa on the map, and the three of them go around and find the unattended escape staircase.
The trio chose to take the stairs to the Italian café located on the 8th floor of the cruise ship.
As soon as they passed around the corner, several people met Arima, who had already completed his mission.
There are horses with backpacks on their backs and luggage in tow, stopping at the staircase.
The young man with a long and heroic posture quietly watched the three of Asama approaching and asked,
"Fukazawa, Futami, Asama, how is your puzzle-solving mission going? Got a clue? ”
Fukasawa smiled and took the initiative to chat with Arima,
"It's far worse than you, Arima-kun! Asama-kun and Tsuki-chan's problems have been solved, and I've encountered some bottlenecks in my B-level difficulty mission here, and I'm about to look for other clues. ”
"Need my help?"
Fukasawa skillfully clasped his hands,
"It's great to have Arima-kun's support."
When Fukasawa communicated his puzzle with Arima for a round, Arima pondered,
"I haven't read Simboska, but there is absolutely no problem with the [FSN] that Asama reasoned.
The key difficulty is that we don't know what the abbreviation of these three letters has to do with the legend.
Legends are generally related to regions, countries, and peoples. ”
Fukasawa sighed,
"FSN, according to the alphabet's position, is 61914, but I don't see any clues, at least none of the room numbers of the whole ship match. If it's the device number, ask the staff as well. ”
Futami nodded and said,
"But numbers don't have a lot to do with legends. I didn't get any useful information using the overlapping method, and if it was the front, south, or north, it wouldn't have much to do with the legend."
Fukasawa fingered with his left hand and gently tapped his head with three fingers.
"It would be nice if I had a mobile phone to look it up"
After half a minute of thinking, Arima seems to have an answer,
"I have some clue about the letters FNS.
First of all, F generally thinks of France, N may be Napoleon, and S is most likely referring to the Second Anti-French Alliance.
If you think about it this way, go to the art gallery on the 7th floor and look for Napoleon's paintings, or in the library, look for Napoleon's biography or the French Civil Code.
But legends always give a sense of distance
F could also be Finland, and S is the artifact Sambo Mill, but N isn't sure what it is.
Belch. Talking a bunch and no information that could help. Excuse me. ”
Arima solemnly bowed to Fukasawa, and Fukasawa waved his hand,
"No, no, Arima-kun is already very powerful. Thanks to Arima-kun, I already have 2 more clues here, don't I? Break from 0 to 2! ”
"Yes, Arima-san, very good." X2
Asama and Futami nodded cooperatively.
Fukasawa then asked curiously,
"By the way, Arima-kun, the first three people who solved the puzzle were all from your student union, do you have any inside information?"
Arima shook his head,
"Although this is an activity organized by our student council, all the tasks and all aspects are actually designed and formulated by the teachers. We don't have the power to know the answer in advance. ”
Futami suddenly asked,
"Why didn't Arima-san complete the A-level difficulty task like Konoe-san?"
Arima showed an embarrassed expression,
"You see, I don't even have to complete Fukasawa's B-rank mission."
Asama asked,
"Arima, you probably didn't deliberately choose a D-level mission?"
“???” X2
Arima smiled wryly,
"Did you see that?"
"Even if you choose a D-class mission, it's useless. After all, if you fail the mission, you will have to stay in the worst room. Looking at the layout of this ship, there are 200 rooms without balconies, and if you grab the D-class mission, you can still live 150 idiots. ”
Futami and Fukasawa looked at Asama and Arima in confusion.
"Are there any rewards for finishing in the top 10?"
"Choose one of the three, upgrade, bonus, forced room change right."
"You chose to change rooms?"
Arima nodded,
"Didn't someone tell me the day before yesterday that the opponent is the most equal relationship?"
"But she's also in the top 10, and she's also in the top 10 for A-level missions. Is her reward any different from yours? ”
"The original setting was that the top 10 rewards in the A tier had one more option than the regular top 10 rewards - the right to suspend any one of the prizes for any one person. But both I and the president opposed this option. The final reward system is decided by the teachers, and I don't know. ”
Arima looked at the time,
"I'll go to my room and pack my luggage first. Time is ticking, come on. ”
After saying that, he carried his suitcase and walked downstairs.
Watching Arima disappear from the corner of the stairs, Futami asked,
"Shizusui-kun, just now you said that Arima deliberately chose a D-class mission, why did he do this?"
It's like a table of dishes, you leave the best dishes for others, or the teacher divides the children with bananas, and you take the initiative to eat the only banana that is a little rotten."
"Arima-kun gives better rewards to others, why would he do this?"
"He should be the only one who does this, I think everyone in the student union should have this kind of thought, for example, the second president who completes the task is not an A-level task.
After all, they are the designers of this event, and they have more or less advantages over us, and choosing the option with a lower reward level may be a kind of compensation psychology. But Arima should simply want to give good rewards to others. ”
Fukasawa looked at Asama with strange eyes,
"I feel like Arima-kun and Asama-kun are very familiar.,Obviously there's no communication at all.,Can you say?"
"Don't think you don't exist just because you haven't seen it. Arima and I are both cypress horses, and we usually have a lot of academic exchanges.
Not to mention that, just now Arima gave me some inspiration.
F If it's France, S can also be a stone, and N is Nicola May, the legend of the French alchemist's philosopher's stone, and the core of this legend is eternal life.
You can ask the staff later to see if you can find any useful information. ”
"yes, okay."
The three of them chatted as they walked, without the slightest sense of urgency to do the task, and they did not change their plan to help Futami find the mystery later.
Feeling the gaze of Futami on the back of his head, Asama turned around and asked,
"What's wrong?"
Looking at Asama's condescending and cold expression, Futami suddenly became bolder,
"It's nothing, the members of the ministry think that the minister is very reliable, and it is not unnatural to observe the minister's side face with respect."
Fukasawa covered his mouth and made an annoying "fufufu" sound.
The trio went up to the 8th floor.
"Left or right?"
Asama asked about the second view.
"Ah, I've been looking at Jingshui-kun just now, so I don't know, wait a minute."
"Wow, are you fascinated by Asama-kun? Tsuki-chan~~~"
"Because, Jingshui-kun is very desirable, in all aspects."
While being surprised by the change of Futami, who was still shy and speechless a few weeks ago, and feeling Futami's continuous straight ball attacks, Fukasawa came back to his senses and hugged Futami and put his face on it.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Tsuki-chan, I'll just say that the two of you are in love~"
"I don't even say it's true! Yuki-chan, what are you doing with your hands? ”
Have you ever heard this sentence? Longing is the emotion that is the furthest from understanding. ”
Without looking back at the entanglement of the two girls, Asama took out his map and walked straight to the left, towards the stern.
There is a retro decorative mirror on the east window wall of the Italian café, and when the mirror is removed, there is a transparent plastic card the same size as the mission envelope on the wall, with [C-26] written in the center.
With the mystery in hand, the three of them sat down by the window by the mirror and ordered a cup of coffee each.
Asama asked the waiter,
"Can you order dessert here?"
The waiter shook his head,
"I'm sorry, little master, the food on the whole ship currently needs to be redeemed with food stamps."
"It doesn't matter. Let me ask you if there is anything or anything about this ship that has anything to do with FSN or Eternal Life? ”
"Is FSN or eternal life? I don't know. It is suggested that the young master can ask the captain of the ship, he may know these things. ”
After thanking the waiter, Asama stopped thinking about solving the puzzle for a while.
He looked at Fukasawa, who was stirring the ice cubes in the latte with a straw, and asked directly,
"How did he refuse you at that time?"
Fukasawa glanced at the second sight with complicated eyes, and said slowly,
"Goxingin-kun said that he has no idea of falling in love for the time being, and he cherishes our friendship, and he doesn't want the friendship to deteriorate, and he also said that he doesn't know what he has to like."
"How did you answer him?"
"I said, 'There are so many things that Goxingin-kun deserves to like, personality, knowledge, cultivation, the way he plays golf, the way he teaches, and the way he seriously worries about everyone.'"
Asama looked at Futami,
"Yuehai, what do you suggest?"
Futami put down the coffee cup in his hand, thought about it seriously, and said,
"First of all, what Goxingin-kun said [I don't want friendship to deteriorate] should be an excuse to maintain the status quo.
So, it's more important to break the status quo than to prepare for a second confession, right? ”
Kanama nodded, and Futami had confidence, and continued,
"Yuki-chan, let's keep a little mystery through change. Since the Imperial Academy likes Hermes, it must be adventurous in its bones, and if it is adventurous, it will definitely like mystery. The more mysterious you are, the more he likes you. ”
Although it sounds a bit outrageous, Asama is relieved to see that the logical equation of Futami has been used perfectly.
Futami seems to have completely entered the role of a love mentor,
"Yuki-chan, have you heard of the [Barnum Effect]?
For those who take a defensive posture for dialogue, we need to use this theory to unload their guards.
Any persuasion requires others to take the initiative to take the first step. Even until the last step, everything needs to be taken by others. What you need to do is to let them shorten the sense of distance between them and you through brain correction and misjudgment.
Since the Imperial Palace laughs at himself for not being liked, he must not answer a certain point, but should answer-
But I love the feeling of being with you. ’
For me, I don't need anything to like you, and that kind of experience is both reassuring and adventurous, and it's unique in this world. ’”
Asama couldn't help but look at the love counseling for less than a week, and he was already the second sight of the Tao.
Is this the strength of the Great Myojin of Second Sight?
Many psychological effects have multiple names, such as the name of the founder. For example, the Pygmalio Effect is the Rosenthal Effect, and the Barnum Effect is also known as the Fourier Effect.
The core of the Barnum Effect is abstract or fragmented expression, allowing the listener to continuously deepen a certain certainty that is beneficial to you through concretization, supplementation, and subjective verification of psychology.
If you say it to the Imperial Palace according to the words of the second sight, it doesn't matter if you can confess successfully, at least the Imperial Palace will subconsciously recall the bits and pieces with Fukasawa.
As long as the attention of the Imperial Palace is projected on the time between the two, the feeling of love can still be cultivated.
Fukasawa shook his head, and the straw continued to stir the ice cubes in the coffee.
"I can't tell. The atmosphere was so bad that I couldn't think of anything like that for a while. ”
Futsumi held Fukasawa's hand with both hands, and looked at the hesitant and melancholy Fukasawa Snow with the light of a first-class star,
"If you don't fight an unprepared battle, the next confession will be a decisive battle. Yuki-chan, show your self-confidence! Isn't it a great victory for you that the Imperial Court is honest with you?
Cultivate a sense of mystery first, and then use more topics to stimulate more of the royal court's desire to talk, so that he can become the person who knows him best and is closest to him, then, the final confession is just a clarion call for victory! ”
Asama couldn't wait to applaud the case in his heart, but he looked at Fukasawa with a cold face,
"I said Fukasawa, if you still need to hesitate about this kind of thing, why don't you just give up?"
"Give up."
"If you don't love the Imperial Palace, you won't have so many troubles."
I don't want to. I want to support him, no matter what, I want to be his strength. ”
"Then let's take action. I think the Imperial Palace is most likely in the midst of reflecting on whether its love will be too superficial, this kind of internal friction. Yuehai's suggestions are well adopted, in addition, buy a copy of "Cold Reading" to study, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me. ”
"Cold reading?"
"It's kind of [Barnum Effect] something.
Let me give you a few example sentences -
Sage, I know your reason, you once regretted your decision, and whenever you hesitated, you worried about whether your current decision was right or wrong.
Sage, although you usually seem to be very reliable, sometimes you also have some unpragmatic thoughts, right?
Sage, have you forgotten your heart forever?
Let the Imperial Academy always believe that [Fukasawa Snow has always paid attention to me] and [Fukasawa Xue knows and understands me], and finally makes him unable to accept the loss of [Fukasawa Xue], and you will succeed. ”
The three of them continued to discuss the method of attacking the Imperial Academy, and Asama, who was fully engaged in analyzing the countermeasures, did not notice at all that the notes made by Futami were all about the [Barnum Effect] application strategy of Asama still water who once said, "I'm not interested in falling in love" and "I don't have the qualifications to love".
See you twice, see you twice! Knowledge is power! Sooner or later, you won't be able to accept the loss of [Erjian Moon Sea]!
Before I knew it, it had reached 11:20, and the radio broadcast the list of the top ten and the top ten A-class missions one after another, and also broadcast the names of more than 10 other unlucky ghosts who cheated out, went to the restaurant to rob food, and went to the kitchen to cook by themselves.
The three of Asama decided to rush in the last half hour and start looking for their own mystery substrate.
Fukasawa said with a smile, it seems that she has to live in the worst room and eat instant noodles.
At this time, a blue-haired girl with a lip ring walked into the coffee bar, followed by three people.
"Rishiro, there shouldn't be a Mojito American Iced Coffee here?"
Asama and Immortal River's gazes met.
"Wow! Robert-kun, Ah Xue, and - Satsuki-san~"
The scorching heat outside the deck, I don't know when, I escaped into the 8F café again.
Looking at the hair coiled up by the [Fleeing Sun] of the Immortal River, Asama's mind flashed,
It's actually dark under the lights.,Since there's an idol kitchen like cypress.,It doesn't seem strange that there's a house in the class guide group.。 FSN, isn't it FATE/STAY NIGHT?
"Fukasawa, I guessed the answer to your riddle."
It's 5,000 words, and the update time of the underworld is restored, and my whole social animal mentality is better.
