Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 90 The Common Ground Between Audience and Diviner

Hazel, however, was somewhat confused, not understanding this specialized term: "What is a 'traveler's baggage'?"

Rune and Chinese are, after all, two different languages; one is a phonetic script, and the other is an ideographic script.

Ordinary people, upon seeing or hearing Chinese, can directly associate the meaning of a word or phrase with its literal translation.

"Traveler" refers to a person who travels, and "knapsack" is a bag carried on the back; together, they form a portable item.

Something used for storage while traveling.

However, the Rune language is different.

As a phonetic script, the word "traveler's baggage" is a new word that has absolutely nothing to do with "traveler" or "baggage".

It's just a sound, a proper noun referring to some kind of magical item.

Most people with English learning experience or academic experience can understand this phenomenon.

When Hazel hears this word, images of "travel" and "backpack" don't automatically come to mind; she just feels it's an unfamiliar term.

This phonetic writing system was specifically created by people to define social classes and establish barriers between professions.

of.

Because An Ruowang learned the language immediately upon arriving in this world, as if enlightened.

So when he saw Hazel's confused eyes, he suddenly realized that he had made a linguistic mistake.

He patiently explained, "You can think of it as a hidden, portable warehouse that connects to a certain space."

Hazel's eyes widened, realizing her imagination was still being limited: "There's such a thing?"

She thought for a moment, but instead of being tactless and saying something like, "By the time you advance to Sequence 4, how long will that be?", she looked at An Ruowang with a bright smile and encouraged her, "Then you'd better work hard to advance. I'll be waiting for you."

An Ruowang was somewhat touched by that smile and smiled back: "Okay, I won't keep you waiting too long."

Hazel didn't say anything more, but lowered her head, her gaze returning to the two of them holding hands.

Just now, her fingertips accidentally touched a thin layer of callus.

To be honest, the other person's hands were indeed as delicate as those of pampered aristocratic young masters.

But there was a small callus between her index and middle fingers, with a texture that was somewhere between rough and smooth, like frosted glass, which made her touch it again.

It was what the other party had said before that made Hazel realize that he had written a great many words.

She had some experience with the traces left by smoking from people around her, but this was the first time she had ever heard of traces left by a pen.

Seeing that the other party was interested in this, An Ruowang simply got to the point: "Some con artists, or viewers, with keen observation skills and experience, can analyze a person's profession, lifestyle, and social class by looking at their hands. They then disguise the results as divination, gain the person's trust, and then swindle money from them."

Of course, some people use this "form" of divination to offer psychological comfort to the other party and receive corresponding money in return.

This is also why An Ruowang said "or the audience".

In a sense, diviners in feudal society were indeed psychologists.

Hazel nodded thoughtfully, looked down at her own hand, and then at his hand.

"So—" she whispered, "which type of palm reading did you just do for me?"

An Ruowang countered with, "What do you think?"

Hazel was initially quite certain, but now that he said that, she felt a little uncertain.

Why does she believe everything I say?

An Ruowang looked into her eyes, which held a mixture of confusion and seriousness, and couldn't help but smile.

"How about this," he said, opening her hand and gently pressing his fingertips against her palm, "I'll continue interpreting your palm first, and then you can try 'divining' me?"

Hazel paused for a moment: "Me? I'll do your divination?"

"Hmm." An Ruowang nodded. "Didn't you want to know which category I belonged to? After you finish the divination for me, you can compare and judge for yourself whether you can see these things, right?"

Hazel blinked, thinking that the suggestion seemed—well, it made a lot of sense?

What you learn from books is never enough.

She had just heard him talk about those details about the "audience" and wanted to try it out herself, just like people who want to try it out after watching the deduction and reasoning in "Sherlock Holmes".

and--

She looked down at their clasped hands.

In this way, she could legitimately and carefully observe his hands.

An Ruowang must know her hands inside and out, but she knows nothing about his hands. That's not fair!

So, I'm just doing this for the sake of fairness!

Yes, it's just about fairness.

Her face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse: "————Okay."

Thinking this, Hazel became somewhat distracted when An Ruowang began to interpret her palmistry.

Because she was already quite impatient, her attention was entirely focused on the next part.

An Ruowang's voice rang in her ears, talking about "wisdom line," "life line," and "marriage line." Although she heard it, it all went in one ear and out the other.

She only remembered his final summary: "Although there were some twists and turns, everything was peaceful in the end."

Everyone in this world is a part of the world, and therefore there really is such a thing as "the interaction between heaven and man" and "destiny star".

The vague content that An Ruowang deciphered from Hazel's palmistry was actually quite similar to the ending in the original novel, and secretly coincided with her true fate.

Flora Jacob, her teacher who parasitized rats, was later kicked to death by Amon's alter ego like a stray dog, and became the Angel King of the Thief Path, with Amon taking her place.

After that, Amon used the "Time Worm" to parasitize all members of the Macht family except for Hazel.

However, after Klein, Leonard, and Palles Zoroaster completed their operation to eliminate Amon's clones in Backlund, the Macht family members, through Audrey's psychological suggestion, prayed to the Goddess of Night and were freed from the lingering effects of the "Time Worm".

Hazel also underwent hypnosis by Audrey, thus overcoming her immense Ammon phobia and the danger of losing control, and was able to escape danger.

Judging from this divination of Hazel, An Ruowang felt that perhaps his fate was not in the long river of fate in this world.

Otherwise, since the other party has already established a connection with him, there would be no way that any life-threatening incident could occur.

An Ruowang had this confidence.
