Chapter 52 Split Scam, Face Array
The old lady snorted through her nose: "That talisman from last time, your daughter wore it for three days and it was all better. Do you think it worked? That talisman only cost six hundred."
This jade pendant was genuinely blessed at the temple; it's not in the same league as those talismans.
"Once you wear it, not only will it protect you from evil spirits, but it will also protect you from any misfortune you might encounter on the street."
Zhou's mother lowered her head and thought for a moment.
Zhou Min whispered, "Mom, why don't we hire one..."
Zhou Min didn't really believe it either, but what could she do when he recovered from his illness so quickly these past few days!
Her mother gritted her teeth, opened her phone, and counted her balance.
"Okay, we'll take both the jade pendant and the bracelet. Auntie, could you give us a discount?"
The old lady remained expressionless: "Two thousand five hundred in total, that's the lowest I can offer."
After exiting the building,
Zhou Min hung the jade pendant around her neck, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
Her mother walked beside her, muttering, "Well done, you get what you pay for. This money wasn't wasted."
"Yes, I received a scholarship of three thousand yuan this semester, which means I only have to spend one hundred yuan."
Zhou Min also tried to comfort herself.
……
Although Zhou Min was a student and had received some education,
But don't know.
This is actually a classic split-the-bill scam!
If a country hosts a football league, betting odds are usually available before the start of the season.
The scammers found a list of 10,000 people and started calling them individually.
Tell half of them,
That is, 5 people predict that Team A will win.
The other half said Team B would win.
After the results are in, the 5 people who guessed correctly will begin to trust the scammer.
The 5 people who have established trust are then divided into two groups, and each group is told that either Team C or Team D will win.
Another 2500 people will guess correctly in a row.
Repeat this step, and repeat it four or five times.
Hundreds of people will see that the scammer is always right and believe that he has inside information!
In fact, what the old lady did was simply a probability screening.
As long as enough people come to her for advice every day.
She used the same set of words with everyone.
You've offended someone, and someone has sabotaged you.
Among those who came, some only had common colds.
Some people are not sick at all, they are just paranoid.
These illnesses can be cured without talismans; it's just a matter of time.
Those that didn't match up, they found out didn't work after they went back.
Even if you think the old lady isn't effective,
But it's hard to talk about it everywhere; most people will just complain to their family members.
But what if one day you run into someone who has just been tricked?
All the symptoms matched her story perfectly.
This person will be stunned.
When the time comes, she won't even need to say anything; the other party will automatically figure out who she has offended in their mind.
A talisman costs 600 yuan, but the cost of the yellow paper is only one cent.
As long as one out of a hundred people believes it, her business is guaranteed to make a profit!
……
In the dimly lit room.
A sliver of sunlight peeked through the gap in the curtains.
Bai Sheng woke up from his sleep,
I took out my phone and glanced at it; it was just past six.
Getting ready to get out of bed to wash up,
Suddenly, a system panel popped up in front of me, and that familiar line of text reappeared.
[Current progress of global spiritual energy recovery: 15%]
He stared at that 15% for less than two seconds, and sure enough, the number started acting strangely again.
It suddenly jumped to 100%, flashed twice, and then jumped back to 15%.
It was repeated several times...
Bai Sheng stared at it expressionlessly for a moment.
On a whim, I swiped across the panel and turned it off.
He had seen this convulsion routine far too many times.
From initial unease to later speechlessness,
Now, they're too lazy to even complain.
However, there is one thing he is certain of.
The revival of spiritual energy is indeed progressing.
He also roughly recorded the time it took for the numbers to change.
The timeline for the resurgence of spiritual energy has been found to be not linear.
The recovery of spiritual energy has now reached a certain point.
This means that the external environment is changing rapidly!
Many things that were previously hidden may begin to surface.
Bai Sheng couldn't help but think of that wasteland in the suburbs.
The location where I last encountered the ghost wall.
It's necessary to revisit this place today.
night,
Bai Sheng had already sent the clone to the outskirts of the city.
now,
Standing at the entrance to that dirt road.
The road was still dirt, with a red stone boundary marker.
The night breeze rustled the willow leaves.
The clone lingered at the intersection for a moment.
Subsequently,
He spread his senses out and scanned the surroundings.
The last time I came here,
The clone went through several cycles before noticing something was wrong.
Today, Bai Sheng adjusted his perception to its highest level in advance.
I just want to see.
Can we directly capture the source of the spatial circulation?
The clone stepped forward.
After passing the boundary marker,
We've returned to the same section of road that triggered the loop last time.
Bai Sheng controlled his clone to continue moving forward.
Perception is always on full display.
They walked for almost another mile.
suddenly!
Everything around us rippled gently like water.
Nothing along the roadside has changed.
But Bai Sheng clearly sensed it.
Something is moving silently in the air.
A dense, slow-moving flow of energy!
It was like a thin veil covering the sky above this wasteland.
Bai Sheng then had his clone walk around the wasteland once more.
But unfortunately,
There were no new unusual changes.
There wasn't even a case of being trapped in a maze.
Although nothing substantial was discovered,
But at least it confirmed one thing.
This wasteland has indeed been placed under some kind of restriction!
It took almost another hour to create the clone.
I traversed the entire boundary of this wasteland from beginning to end.
But every detail is the same as last time.
There is nothing unusual!
The restrictions appear to be dormant?
The clone traversed back and forth between the inside and outside of the boundary several times.
Except for that extremely faint energy flow in the air.
Bai Sheng was still unwilling to give up.
Control the clone to retreat to the outer edge of the wasteland.
We found the highest earthen slope in the vicinity.
He leaped into the air.
I leaped to the top of the earthen slope and saw a crooked jujube tree.
The view is quite expansive.
The entire wasteland stretched out like a gray-green carpet underfoot.
Bai Sheng's clone focused intently on surveying the entire area.
The wasteland itself wasn't anything special; it was overgrown with weeds, had dirt roads, and abandoned irrigation ditches.
They pieced them together from different places.
The clone surveyed its surroundings and found no one else.
He jumped directly from the spot, soaring ten meters into the air.
He looked down and re-examined it from a high vantage point.
"etc!"
Bai Sheng's pupils contracted.
He discovered the scattered plots of land and ditches in the wasteland.
Looking down from a high place
They pieced together a huge, hideous human face!
There are two irregular depressions on the east side of the wasteland.
The spacing and curvature are exactly like a pair of eye sockets.
Below his eyes, a winding, abandoned irrigation ditch runs from west to east across the entire wasteland.
The trend is exactly like a gaping maw.
Below the mouth is a raised mound of earth.
It's perfectly angled, right at the chin...
Bai Sheng didn't believe it was a coincidence.
I stared at those sunken eye sockets for a long time.
A thought suddenly popped into his head!
Destroy it!
He had read many cultivation novels.
Knowing that there are formations arranged according to the terrain,
If we find one or a few core nodes and break them,
The formation will either collapse or expose what it's hiding...
