Establishing the Teyvat Organization in KO

Chapter 40 Divination Results

As Mona shouted, a layer of mist seemed to appear around them.

"Wow!" Sonoko and Xiaolan both exclaimed, and became more confident in Mona's divination.

Hello, is this true?

Conan saw some fog rising around him the moment Mona shouted. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt the humidity around him also increased.

But he didn't believe that this was due to astrology. There must be some mechanism that caused this phenomenon.

Conan saw that the astrologer was concentrating on fortune-telling for Sonoko, and prepared to quietly go behind the table to see if there was any mechanism.

Before he had taken a few steps, Xiaolan grabbed his collar.

"Conan, what did you promise me before you came here!?" Xiaolan looked at Conan seriously and asked.

"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaolan, I won't run around anymore." Conan felt a little nervous when Xiaolan looked at him. He was worried that if he ran around again, Xiaolan would be angry. He could only stay by Xiaolan's side and listen to Sonoko's divination results.

"Well, are you asking about love? I get it." Mona pondered as she looked at the stars displayed on the water divination plate.

Yuanzi also looked down at the water disk with curiosity, but could see nothing except the beautiful stars reflected in the water.

"Your true love will appear on the beach in summer. He will stand up for you when you are in danger." Mona did not let Yuanzi wait any longer. She directly told him the result of her divination in great detail without beating around the bush.

"Hey! A hero saving the beauty? How romantic!" Sonoko was very happy after hearing the astrological results. She held her cheeks with both hands, her face flushed, as if she began to imagine the scene when the other party would be a hero saving the beauty in the future. She was already immersed in the fantasy.

Strange, why is it so detailed?

After all, in Conan's opinion, people who do astrologers, fortune tellers, and others actually rely on a technique called cold reading to make people believe in it.

Cold reading is a technique that uses subtle clues such as their words, actions, and body language to infer other people's inner thoughts and intentions without prior preparation. The core of this technique is to convince the other party that "this person knows something about me", thereby quickly winning their trust and establishing a connection. An experienced cold reader can obtain information from a variety of details about the other party, such as clothing, hairstyle, gender, tone of voice, etc., and judge whether his or her speculation is correct by making high-probability guesses and analyzing reactions.

Therefore, Conan originally thought that the astrologer would first say something in a questioning tone to build trust, and then say some ambiguous results based on the conversation.

But he didn't expect that the astrologer didn't ask any more questions and just told the result directly. If there was a mistake, wouldn't it be easy to be discovered? Now it seems that many people believe in this person's astrology. Has she never made any mistakes in her astrological results so far?

No, it's impossible to think about it! It must be because Sonoko asked about the future, which could not be verified, so she made it up. In short, he would not believe that astrology really existed.

"Ran, how is it? I told you this divination is very accurate!" Sonoko stood up and gave her seat to Mouri Ran. "Come on, it's your turn for divination. What do you want to ask? You're not going to ask about that Kudo guy, are you?" She looked at Ran sideways.

Mao Lilan felt a little embarrassed when her thoughts were revealed, but she still decided to divine Shinichi's situation - she hadn't seen Shinichi since he left the amusement park. Although she received calls from Shinichi from time to time, she had never seen him in person, so she was still a little worried about Shinichi's situation.

Xiaolan heard many people say that this divination was very accurate, so she decided to divine Shinichi's situation, at least to give herself some comfort.

Conan rolled his eyes and said, "Haha, nothing has happened yet, Sonoko, and you already know that the divination results are accurate?"

Later, when I heard Sonoko guess that Xiaolan might be planning to have her fortune told about herself, I felt a little touched, but also a little nervous - what if this astrologer didn't know the situation and said something nonsense to make Xiaolan worry?

Mao Lilan told Mona that she wanted to have her fortune told, and placed her hand on the water fortune-telling plate just like Sonoko did just now.

"Destiny is revealed here!" Mona didn't waste any words after hearing the divination request and started divination directly.

"Wow! It's foggy again. No matter how I look at it, it's amazing!" Yuanzi exclaimed as she looked at the mist that was spreading around again.

Damn it, I didn't realize what this astrologer Mona did. After the last experience, Conan was concentrating on observing whether Mona had any special behavior when Xiaolan wanted to tell fortunes, but he only saw Mona put her hands on the water divination plate and said that sentence, and the surrounding environment changed instantly.

Could it be that he has an accomplice?

"Miss Maori, the person you want to divine is currently in a black shadow, but he is not in danger at the moment; he is not far from you, and he may even be right next to you."

Mona didn't waste any time and directly told Conan the divination result, which made Conan sweat profusely.

After hearing the result, Mao Lilan was thoughtful. Although she was still a little worried, she felt relieved when she heard that Shinichi was not in any danger at the moment.

Hey, hey, how did this person figure it out? Did she figure out anything else? If he asked this person to predict the two black-clad men he met at the amusement park, would she be able to predict them as well? Conan was so shocked that he began to have wild thoughts.

But once this thought came up, he couldn't suppress it - he really wanted to find clues about those two people, he really wanted to restore his identity as soon as possible and didn't want to see Xiaolan worry.

"Hey, sister, is fortune-telling really so accurate? I want to try it too. Sister Xiaolan asked me to try it too." Conan pretended to be a child who was interested in fortune-telling.

Seeing that Conan was curious and wanted to tell fortunes, Xiaolan did not stop him and let Conan sit at the table.

"Then little brother, what do you want to ask?" Mona raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw the situation in front of her, and asked in a normal tone.

How to ask? If I ask the black-clad man I met in the amusement park directly, Xiaolan will guess that she is related to Kudo Shinichi. I can't ask directly. In this case...

"Some time ago, I accidentally took the wrong medicine, and I want to know the information about the two people who fed me the medicine." Conan said a little vaguely. He still didn't quite believe that divination was really useful. He wanted to see if he could really get the information he wanted to know without telling the specific time.

What's the problem? Mao Lilan was a little strange. Did Conan take the wrong medicine some time ago? She looked at Conan's face and body carefully. Well, he looked healthy. So the wrong medicine should not have caused much impact.

Ah, he actually asked a question related to the Black Organization. Mona was not surprised that Conan would ask this question. She was also a little curious about what the water divination plate would show.

"Wine!" Mona gave the answer. Mona was also a little surprised that the information given by the water divination plate was unexpectedly little. Could it be because it was related to the main storyline, so the divination was more difficult?
