Chapter 444: Magic Show
Science is science, and science has never had anything to do with witchcraft.
Any magical, incredible scene has a scientific explanation.
Indeed, Meng Shaoyuan is an expert in micro-expressions, and his knowledge of psychology is far beyond this era.
But in any case, there is no way for him to stage such a magical scene with just six questions.
That's witchcraft.
No, that's magic.
To the uninitiated, it may seem fantastic, but magic is magic.
It all started at 8 a.m. on November 16.
The "Sino-Japanese Friendship Association" is about to open in two hours......
……
Meng Shaoyuan looked around, and then calmly walked into the Sassoon Building.
Wu Jingyi has investigated very clearly, and their "guest" lives on the eighth floor of the Sassoon Building.
This guest is Professor Allegri!
The professor arrived in Shanghai, and at his insistence, as a Jew, he lived in the Sassoon Building, which was also run by Jews.
Moreover, he did not like to have someone standing at his door doing the so-called security work.
In his opinion, this is just too ridiculous.
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan came to the eighth floor unimpeded and opened the door of Professor Allegri's room.
"You are?"
"Professor Allegri, I am Meng Shaoyuan, the subject of your research in Shanghai this time."
……
Meng Shaoyuan stayed with Professor Allegri for more than several hours.
He had many academic discussions with the professor and gave the professor great inspiration.
After all, Meng Shaoyuan's knowledge of psychology is too far ahead of this era.
"Thank you, Meng." Professor Allegri wrote in his notebook: "You have inspired me greatly, ah, I should invite you to the United States, I think there are many, many more things to ask you for." ”
"Maybe one day I'll go, but at least not now." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "You also know that my country is tormented by war......
"I know that I sympathize with the misfortune of your country."
"You are a Jew, and the Jews have suffered a lot in history...... Mr. Professor, you are in Shanghai, and I think maybe I will need your help. ”
……
Meng Shaoyuan's words, the suffering of the Jews, the same experience, deeply touched Professor Allegri.
So the professor readily promised that as long as he was still in Shanghai, if Meng Shaoyuan needed his help, then he would definitely be duty-bound.
Of course, out of Jewish shrewdness, this help was not unconditional.
Professor Allegri needed more knowledge about psychology.
Meng Shaoyuan promised him that he would try to say as much as possible before the professor returned to China.
He also knew that Kojiro Kawamoto would definitely arrange for him to meet with the professor.
What happens after meeting?
Both Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri were lost in thought.
"Kephas!"
Professor Allegri suddenly cried out: "Kefis hoax! ”
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
……
The Keffis scam, also known as the Keffis Magic.
Kephas, an American, has been active in the United States and Europe since 1920 and is known for his magical "mind reading".
This kind of "mind reading" is almost exactly the same as the "New York Conference" between Professor Allegri and Watson.
It can even be said that the inspiration for the New York meeting came from Kefes.
But the difference is that the New York Conference is a discussion of psychology, while Kefis is a complete magic show.
At the magic scene, he would invite some random audience members, write what they thought on paper, and then fold the paper and put it into an iron box by the audience.
Kefis then began to observe the audience and eventually guessed what was written on the paper.
Tried and tested, never missed.
For this reason, Kefis is also known as the "magical Kephas".
Professor Allegri and Watson did not believe that there was such a magical mind-reading technique, and they watched about a dozen performances of Kefiz before finally cracking the magic.
Magic is to put it bluntly, it's not worth a penny.
This kind of magic trick requires four people and a chair to cooperate.
Cafius the magician, Tor A sitting in the audience, B hidden in the crossbar behind the stage curtain, and C waiting below.
The audience is invited to the stage, and they sit down in chairs at pre-set angles, and Cafiz will give him paper and a large pen on which he can write down the items he has in mind.
Then Kevis would turn his back.
In fact, when the audience writes, B has already seen what is written through the telescope, and then he will quickly tell C.
C leaves and goes to the designated position, sends a signal to A in the audience, and then A will pass this message to Kefis who has his back to the writer but faces the audience.
What to put in an iron box or something is nothing more than to stall for time.
So Kefis could easily guess what was written inside.
Just one last question:
How do Kefes, C, and A deliver information?
Professor Allegri and Watson soon found out.
Kefis invented the unique "Kefis Code", that is, the 26 letters of the English language are expressed with unique gestures and short phrases.
For example, bananas: "Banana".
Stretching out his index finger and tapping his lip three times with his thumb, Kefis on the stage soon understood.
……
Kefiz probably would not have imagined that his invention of the "Kefiz Code" would have a very important impact on the future of the psychological community.
At that time, Professor Allegri and Watson, although they discovered the secret of Kevis, they would not expose this secret, thus ruining people's jobs.
They didn't even mention it to anyone, including their students.
The two scholars carefully recorded the "Kefis Code" and studied it. In that "New York Conference", they also used the Kefiz cipher in part.
Of course, the most important thing is to rely on the understanding and familiarity with the other party's living habits and human nature to guess what the other party writes.
It was more than twenty years later, after the death of the magician Kephaus, that the cipher he invented was gradually made public and had a great impact on the field of psychology.
Many psychologists have mastered this code......
……
Of course, Meng Shaoyuan knew what the "Kefis Code" was, but if he said it in front of Professor Allegri, it would definitely make the professor suspicious.
His and Watson's research has not yet been made public.
So he was very "humble" to ask Professor Allegri what a "Kefiz scheme" was.
Professor Allegri explained to him and explained in detail how to use the "Kephes Code", originally he was still worried about whether Meng Shaoyuan would be able to master it in such a short time, but he soon found that his worries were unnecessary.
Meng Shaoyuan not only quickly "mastered", but also put forward his own "unique" "insights", streamlining some of these unnecessary gestures.
Professor Allegri confirmed that he had discovered a "genius" in China.
Poor professor, he didn't know that what Meng Shaoyuan had mastered was the most perfect version of the "Kephes Code" that had been improved by later generations for decades......
……
As soon as they met at the International Hotel, Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri had begun to communicate frequently through the "Kefis Code".
As soon as they met, the two people held hands tightly, and it seemed that they were talking to each other there, but in fact, they had already had a deep exchange with their hands.
They made a plan in the shortest amount of time.
Especially when they are guessing at each other, the "Kephes code" is used vividly......
……
Professor Allegri moved his fingers...... Meng Shaoyuan stretched out his hand and asked others for a pen...... Meng Shaoyuan rubbed his nose with his hands...... Professor Allegri put his hand to his mouth and rhythmically slapped his right index finger against his face......
In everything, they are using passwords to tell each other what they want to know.
What cigarettes, what scarves, they already know what the other party writes, and those so-called questions are nothing more than acting there to hide people's eyes and ears.
The most shocking scene was that Meng Shaoyuan guessed the six numbers and the order of arrangement with just six questions.
Any ordinary person who has mastered the "Kefis Code" can make a "miracle" like Meng Shaoyuan.
The most pitiful one is probably Kojiro Kawamoto, he doesn't know what the "Kepis Code" is, he doesn't know that the two sides are "talking" in plain sight, and he doesn't know that Meng Shaoyuan and Professor Allegri have met a long time ago and have reached an agreement......
People who think they are smart will always be defeated by their own cleverness.
It's like Kojiro Kawamoto......
……
"Mr. Professor, your wine."
Meng Shaoyuan greeted Professor Allegri with a smile and handed him a glass of wine with a smile.
Professor Allegri also smiled and said: "This is a classic case, and I will record it carefully when I return home." ”
"It's not psychology, it's magic."
"No, magic and psychology are also related."
Professor Allegri was very interested: "I have learned a lot from this visit to Shanghai, and I think that I will soon make great progress in my major. And thanks to that...... What made me even happier was that I could find an excuse to return home and no longer have to help the Japanese, and Professor Allegri, who had failed, left the place sadly. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Professor." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "You helped me this time, but your reputation was hurt. ”
"No, no, Mr. Meng." Professor Allegri shook his hand and said:
"I am a scholar, and the so-called failure will not have any impact on my reputation, on the contrary, I am very happy, so please don't take it to heart, Mr. Meng."
"Thank you, Professor." Meng Shaoyuan said "thank you" again: "You will always be my friend." ”
"I'll remember your words." Professor Allegri put down his glass and shook Meng Shaoyuan's hand: "I hope you will have good luck in the future and be able to drive out those bad people who invaded your country as soon as possible." ”
"I think we'll be able to do it, Professor!"
(To be honest, Spider doesn't push many books, but I really recommend one book today: Spy.) A newcomer named Cheng Weilan wrote it, and there are not many newcomers who come to the military channel, and even fewer write well. This book spider has been chasing, and it's quite fat, brothers, you can go and read it. )
