Hearing Lorraine's words, the priest suddenly had a lot of thoughts, but he didn't show anything wrong. He did not look back, but still faced the cross devoutly and made a prayer gesture.
After pondering for more than ten seconds, he suddenly said slowly and calmly: "When you came in, you were wearing a silver-gray casual suit, and half of the pen tube was exposed in your left breast pocket. Judging from the style, it should be a commemorative Parker pen produced in 1989. There is a less obvious ink mark on your trouser leg about three centimeters from your knee. I think it was you taking out that pen. When you were doing that, the ink accidentally dripped on your trouser leg. Judging from the angle, you should have made an action of stepping out with your left foot about five centimeters away."
"It can be seen that sir is a person who pays more attention to dignity, so when you were talking to me, you deliberately raised one leg, and your right leg just blocked the stain on your left leg. This is slightly right-leaning The movement makes your right arm subconsciously find the edge of the seat in front of you as a landing point and support point."
"However, there is a silver and black button on your cuff. Judging from the texture on it, it should be a pair of expensive 'Leif Fever' buttons. So, you put it on the seat in front of you. When taking away the right hand on the water chestnut, you must be careful, because according to the inertia of human body function, when you put down your leg and retract your wrist, it will reflexively shift to the left. However, your right cuff only needs to move to the left. Half a centimeter to the left, and your button will be scratched off by a nail head that slightly protrudes about 0.4 centimeters on the seat."
"-Of course, if you don't like this button, you don't have to care about it. However, I feel that this should be given to you by your loved one, because this pair of 'Leif Fever' buttons are very similar to The tie on your chest is a matching model from the same series. 'Leff;Fever', a limited edition combination of buttons and tie, is created for lovers, so this should be a gift from your lover. For you. If sir, there is no servant in your residence, or you do not live with your relatives, then you and your lover must be in this city now, because sir, your tie is knotted The angle and method are in opposite directions. Unless you are left-handed, you can tie knots like this by yourself, but since you came in just now, the three times you have moved your right hand to strengthen your tone. Therefore, as I said... Cherish what your lover gives you Be sure to cherish the gift. God is my witness, it will bring you good luck."
After saying this in one breath, the priest slowly made a cross on his chest, then said piously: "Amen."
After listening to this…
Lorraine was stunned.
No, I should say he was shocked.
He no longer knew how to describe the feeling at this moment. His eyes looked at the priest with his back to him as if looking at a monster.
When the priest said this, he never looked back once from beginning to end, but he noticed all the details on Lorraine's body such as ink, pen, buttons and even tie. The most exaggerated thing was that he actually remembered the place on his trouser legs. The exact location of that ink stain.
Thinking about it, Lorraine subconsciously looked at the edge of the seat in front of her where her right hand was resting. There was indeed a raised nail head!
What does all this mean
This shows that the person in front of him not only possesses the terrifying ability of photographic memory, but also possesses quite accurate calculation and inference abilities! This seems to be a simple inference, but it implies a lot of knowledge in various aspects. For example, he used certain geometric angles and mathematical visual measurements to infer the origin of the stain near the knee of his trouser leg. And through the inertial force in physics and the neural conditioned reflex principle in biology, Lorraine's "button crisis" is revealed. And through Lorraine's subtle movements, it was analyzed that he was not left-handed and that he was a decent person. This was even more mixed into the category of psychology.
And that he is so familiar with accessories such as Parker pens and Leif & Fever buttons and ties, which just shows that he is not out of touch with this busy and realistic world. As for what he said at the end that he was in this city with his lover, there was definitely a certain humanistic element to it.
This priest is not only a genius, but an all-around genius!
However, what really caught Lorraine's attention was the priest's photographic memory and calculation skills. If this skill was properly applied to gambling, what kind of effect would it have? !
Just imagine, when you face a dealer to gamble, the other party can remember the entire shuffling process through photographic memory. Is it possible for you to win? Of course, the equipment and methods of most casinos and gaming tables have kept pace with the times. The same deck of cards can only be played once, and most of them use machines to shuffle the cards. But despite this, a gambling game may not escape the clutches of a master of mathematical calculations.
Lorraine once heard a legendary fact from Las Vegas, the city of sin. It was said that an MIT bachelor named Li figured out a very clever way to use mathematical logic to deduce blackjack gambling, and the result was a sweep. In Las Vegas, winning millions of dollars multiple times in poker is like picking something out of a bag. Later, the Chinese math expert was blacklisted by all the casinos in Las Vegas. Many gambling experts and town dealers were helpless against this guy, so this was the only solution.
At this point, the legend about a math master sweeping through Las Vegas has come to an end.
If Lorraine could reach some kind of cooperative relationship with this priest and work together to develop a suitable gambling technique, then... it would be very shocking.
Lorraine is sure that there is not a single dealer in Omen who made his fortune from mathematics.
Even if it is really unreasonable, it cannot be as powerful as the priest in front of me.
God knows what kind of shocking "genius development program" is the crazy research of which doctor in which country? God testifies, a genius with multiple degrees in physics, mathematics, meteorology, etc., and a priest-scientist with such terrifying knowledge coverage, is definitely a A heaven-defying existence.
Lorraine sat quietly on the seat, her thoughts racing through the mountains and seas in her heart, while the priest was still facing the cross devoutly, not knowing what kind of prayer he was praying for.
"Father, I don't know... do you have any opinions on gambling?" Lorraine suddenly said after thinking for a long time.
Upon hearing this, the priest pondered for a moment and then said: "A sinful human game."
"No, no." Lorraine had already thought of her words and waved her hands with a smile, "In my opinion, gambling is a kind of judgment from God on mankind."
"Oh? It's a very interesting statement, how can you see it?" It has to be said that Lorraine knows how to capture a person's attention and interest. Just like now, Lorraine's words have attracted the attention of the priest.
He turned his head and asked with an attitude of listening.
Lorraine sorted out her words in her mind and said: "Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, and the biggest one is karma. I think there is a similar explanation in the Bible, right?"
The priest looked at Lorraine quietly, noncommittal.
Lorraine continued: "Buddhism emphasizes on saving people, and Christianity emphasizes on forgiveness. Everyone in the world will commit sins to some extent. Sins are not terrible, as long as he is willing to repent. And the casino is a way to save people. place. You see... In a casino, if someone wins, someone loses, and most people win if they lose. Aren't the pros and cons of the situation exactly equivalent to the cycle and comparison of cause and effect? Some people will Some people get rich overnight in the casino, and some people will lose everything in the casino. On the other hand, if those who get rich overnight continue to indulge, one day they will also lose everything. The losers have learned a lesson, This may be a way for them to atone for their sins.”
"It's an interesting statement, but it's a bit high-sounding. Gambling is a sin after all." The priest was silent for a few seconds and then thought again.
"That's why I need to find a dealer to judge them." Lorraine raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.
At this time, the priest met Lorraine's eyes again, and after a while he said: "I understand, you are a gambler, and you are looking for the dealer."
"To be precise, I am the owner of a casino that is about to be built." Lorraine said.
The priest shook his head gently, as if sighing, and ignored Lorraine.
Lorraine continued: "Father, think carefully about what I said. An invincible dealer will definitely be able to judge those gamblers for their sins. You say that is sin, but don't forget that everything is a sin. It has many sides, and it mainly depends on what kind of mentality you face it with. If you gamble for the sake of gambling, it is naturally a sin, but if you gamble with the idea of saving the world and saving people, that is the right way. ."
"Very philosophical." The priest blurted out these four simple words without any emotion, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Lorraine knew it was over, so she smiled and didn't linger much. She slowly stood up and found that the storm outside had passed, so she changed her mind and said, "Father, the storm is over and the time for our encounter has come. I'm very happy." I know you, can you tell me your name?"
The priest said: "Recado; Alex."
"real name?"
"There are no lies in the church."
"Haha, okay, Father Alex, believe me, I will come again."
"If you are coming for prayer and confession, then on behalf of God you are welcome to come at any time."
"Confession? - Well, maybe, it was a nice conversation, good-bye." With that, Lorraine turned and left the church. ~
