Chapter 694
Hearing Lorraine's words, the priest was instantly thoughtful, but he didn't show anything wrong. He didn't turn his head, but still made a prayer gesture towards the cross.
After pondering for more than ten seconds, he suddenly said slowly and indifferently: "When you came in, you were wearing a silver-gray casual suit. In your left breast pocket, half of the pen tube was exposed. Judging from the style, it should be a commemorative Parker pen produced in 1989. And about three centimeters from your knees, there is an inconspicuous ink mark on your trouser leg. I think you are pulling out that pen. At that time, the ink accidentally dripped on your trouser legs. Judging from the angle, you should have made the movement of your left foot at a distance of about five centimeters."
"It can be seen that Mr. is a more respectable person, so when you were talking to me, you deliberately raised one leg, and the right leg was just right to block the stain on the left leg. This slightly right-leaning Movement, let your right arm subconsciously find the edge of the right front seat as the focus and support point."
"However, you have a silver-and-black button on your cuff, and judging from the texture on it, it should be a pair of expensive 'Leif Foevo' buttons, so you put it on the seat in front of you You must be careful when removing the right hand on the water chestnut, because according to the inertia of human body function, when you put down your leg and retract your wrist, it will shift to the left in a conditioned reflex. However, your right cuff only needs to move to the left. Half a centimeter to the left, and your button will be scraped off by a nail that protrudes slightly on the seat by about 0.4 centimeters."
"—Of course, if you don't like this button, you can ignore it at all. However, I feel that this should be given to you by your beloved, because this pair of 'Lev Fauve' buttons, The tie on your chest is a matching model from the same series. 'Lev Foaiwo' is a limited-edition matching of buttons and ties, which is made for lovers, so this should be your lover For you. If there are no servants in your residence, sir, or if you do not live with your relatives, then you and your lover must be in this city now, because sir, your tie is tied The angle and method of the knot are in the opposite direction. Unless you are left-handed, you can tie the knot yourself, but since you came in just now, the right hand has been swung three times to strengthen the tone. Therefore, as I said... cherish the gift of the lover Your gift must be cherished. God testifies, it will bring you good luck."
After saying this in one breath, the priest slowly drew a cross on his chest out of thin air, and then said reverently, "Amen."
After hearing this...
Lorraine was stunned.
No, I should say I was shocked.
He didn't know how to describe the feeling at the moment, his eyes seemed to be looking at a monster, looking at the priest with his back turned to him.
When the priest said this, he never looked back once, but he noticed the details of Lorraine's body such as ink, pens, buttons and even the tie. The most exaggerated thing was that he still remembered the part of his trousers. The exact location of that ink stain.
Thinking about it, Lorraine subconsciously looked at the corner of the front seat on which his right hand was draped, and there was indeed a raised nail!
What does all this mean?
It shows that the person in front of him not only has unforgettable horror skills, but also has quite accurate calculation and inference ability! This seemingly simple inference implies a lot of knowledge. For example, he inferred the origin of the stain near the knee of his trousers through certain geometric angles and mathematical visual measurements. And through the inertial force in physics and the principle of neural conditioning in biology, Lorraine's "button crisis" was revealed. And through the subtle movements of Lorraine, it is analyzed that he is not left-handed and is a decent person, which is even more mixed into the category of psychology.
The fact that he is so familiar with accessories such as Parker pens and Leif Feiwo button ties just shows that he is not out of touch with this busy and real world. As for his final statement that he is in the city with his lover, there must be a certain humanistic color in it.
This priest is not only a genius, but also an all-around genius!
However, what really caught Lorraine's attention was the priest's unforgettable ability and his ability to calculate. If this ability was reasonably applied to gambling, what kind of effect would it have? !
Just imagine, when you face a croupier to gamble, the other party can remember the whole shuffling process through unforgettable memory, will you still have the possibility of winning? Of course, most of the equipment and methods of 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 gamble may not escape the clutches of a master mathematician.
Lorraine once heard a legendary fact from Las Vegas, the capital of sin. He said that he was a bachelor of MIT with the surname of Li. He calculated a very clever gambling method using mathematical logic to deduce blackjack, and the result was sweeping. In Las Vegas, winning millions of dollars in poker games is like trying to find something. Later, the Chinese math master was blacklisted by all the casinos in Las Vegas. Many gambling masters and dealers in the town couldn't do anything about this guy, so this is the only way.
So far, this legend about math masters sweeping Las Vegas has ended.
If Lorraine can reach some kind of cooperative relationship with this priest, so that they can work together to come up with a suitable gambling technique, then... it will be very shocking.
Lorraine is certain that none of the croupiers in Aomen have made their fortunes through mathematics.
Even if it is really unreasonable, it is impossible for the priest in front of him to be powerful.
God knows what country and doctor's crazy research is that shocking "genius development program", God testifies, a genius with multiple degrees in physics, mathematics, meteorology, etc., and a priest scientist with such a terrifying knowledge coverage, is definitely a scientist. An insane existence.
Lorraine sat quietly on the seat, his thoughts were overwhelmed by mountains and seas, and the priest was still devoutly facing the cross, not knowing what prayer he was doing.
"Father, I don't know... Do you have any thoughts on gambling?" After a long time of contemplation, Lorraine suddenly said.
When the priest heard it, he pondered for a while, then said, "A sinful human game."
"No or no." Lorraine had long thought about what to say, and waved his hand with a smile, "In my opinion, gambling is a kind of God's judgment on human beings."
"Oh? It's an interesting statement, how can you see it?" I have to say, Lorraine knows how to grab 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 air of listening intently.
Lorraine sorted out the rhetoric and said: "Buddhism pays attention to the cycle of cause and effect, and the biggest thing is karma. I think there is a similar explanation in the Bible, right?"
The priest looked at Lorraine quietly, noncommittal.
Lorraine continued: "Buddhism pays attention to saving people, Christianity emphasizes forgiveness. Everyone in the world will commit sins to some extent. Sins are not terrible, as long as they are willing to repent. And the casino is a person who is willing to forgive. You see... in a casino, some people win, some people lose, and most people win when they lose. Isn't the positive and negative sides of the situation exactly equivalent to the cycle and contrast of cause and effect? Some people will Get rich overnight in the casino, and some people will go bankrupt in the casino. Conversely, if those people who get rich overnight, if they continue to indulge, one day, he will also go bankrupt. Those who lose, have learned a lesson. , which may be a way of atonement for them."
"It's an interesting remark, but it's a bit high-sounding. Gambling is a sin after all." The priest was silent for a few seconds, and then said.
"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 gaze again, and after a while, he said, "I understand, you are a gambler, and you are looking for a dealer."
"To be exact, I'm the owner of a casino that's about to be built," Lorraine said.
The priest shook his head gently, as if sighing, and ignored Lorraine.
But Lorraine continued: "Father, think carefully about what I said, an invincible dealer can definitely judge those gamblers for their sins. You say it is sin, but don't forget, everything is There are many aspects, and it mainly depends on what kind of mentality you use to face it. If you gamble for the sake of gambling, it is a sin, but if you gamble with the idea of saving people, it is the right way. ."
"Very philosophical." With just four simple words, the priest blurted out, without any emotion, and could not see what he was thinking.
Lorraine knew that the time was over, so he smiled and didn't stay too long. He slowly stood up and found that the wind and rain outside had passed, so he changed his mind and said: "Father, the wind and rain are over, it's time for us to meet, I'm very happy. I know you, can you tell me your name?"
The priest said: "Ricardo Alex."
"real name?"
"In the church, there are no lies."
"Hehe, that's fine, Father Alex, trust me, I'll come again."
"If you are here for prayer and repentance, then on behalf of God I welcome you anytime."
"Confession?—Well, maybe, it was a pleasant conversation, goodbye." With that, Lorraine turned and left the church.
