Cold reading Level 101 : Part 2

"Here." Huang Ji led Lin Li and came to a night snack stall selling porridge.

On the small table outside, an old man was drinking porridge. He saw someone standing at his table. He looked up at Huang Ji and then at Lin Li.

He then continued to drink porridge casually.

Lin Li stared at him, the more he looked at the guy , the more familiar he felt.

Huang Ji said, "Return the golden carp to him."

Hearing this, Lin Li suddenly recognized that this was the old man who lied to him. He changed his clothes, his beard was gone, and the wrinkles on his face were less.

"You liar!" Lin Li scolded.

The old man raised his head calmly and said, "Huh? Young man, are you talking to me?"

"You don't need pretend, Even if you turned to ashes and I would recognize you! You scammer!" Lin Li angrily said.

The old man frowned and said in a confused tone: "Huh?"

Seeing him acting stupid, Lin Li grabbed the old man's arm.

"I have a heart disease, don't move me so fast!" The old man did not resist, but said innocently.

Lin Li was anxious, so he took out his mobile phone and type some numbers in it and said, "I'll call the police!"

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you don't need to type the police number for so long its only 3 digits."

Lin Li's face was stiff, he really didn't want to call the police, he even hoped to get the money back from the old man.

And the old man obviously understood him .

Huang Ji said to the old man: "Do you think that you pretending to be an another person would work?"

The old man looked at Huang Ji and said, "You want to be strong don't you? hiss, you are born with double pupils?"

He looked at Huang Ji in surprise, pinched his fingers, stood up and said: "Oh! You are definitely a lucky person!"

Huang Ji smiled calmly: "When I was young, some fortune tellers said the same thing."

Lin Li said to the side: "Don't believe him, big brother. I was also deceived by his words."

Lin Li was also caught by the old man's fortune-telling at the beginning, and then gradually fell into the trap.

"Well, young man you are from the north, right ? Are your family members in good health? How many acres of farmland do you own at home?" the old man said.

Lin Li listened, and quickly looked at Huang Ji reaction. When he was deceived in the first place, it was naturally not just due to a few things said vaguely.

The old man told a lot about him to make him believe step by step.

Huang Ji smiled and said, "There are not many people in the family, only 20 mu."

"That's pretty Burdensome , your parents died when you were still a child, right?" The old man shook his head.

Huang Ji nodded and said: "Yes, I miss them very much. Although they left early, I always remember what they looked like."

Lin Li opened his mouth wide, unexpectedly the old man was able to speak about Huang Ji's life so accurately.

He thought that he was investigated in advance by the old man. But the old man did not have time to investigate Huang ji at all, so how did he do that?

"You love your family very much, but you have your own difficulties and have to leave your remaining relative." The old man continued.

Huang Ji smiled and said, "For learning."

The old man said: "Yes, people always have to run for the future. You are born with a double pupil, so you are destined to have a bright future. Your studies will go smoothly. Although there is a lack of discipline, your physical factors can make up for it! Keep exercising, you must never give up!"

Huang Ji nodded and smiled.

Lin Li pursed his lips and said, "Then guess what the big brother does!"

The old man smiled and said, "He is a student who is engaged in sports, and he relies on his legs to get money for his future!"

Huang Ji sighed: "Do you think I practice track and field in a sports school? "

The old man was taken aback, he really thought that.

It's just that he can't be sure, so he deliberately said something vague.

Huang Ji said: "Unfortunately, I have already dropped out of school and have never practiced for the track and field team. You think I am a high school student, but you don't know that I am already sixteen"

"You are fifty-two years old, do you plan to drift like this in the future?"

The old man swallowed and did not speak.

Huang Ji continued: "You have been a policeman once, why do you use those skills to cheat money?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Ah? I was a policeman? Why don't I know that?"

Huang Ji smiled and said, "You don't dare to admit it, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that people will know your true identity?"

"It was not easy in abroad, was it? Why did you come back to your country? Can't survive there, right? someone wants your life there?"

"Did you steal something from someone?"

The old man was sweating and realized that he had met a master!

Huang Ji continued: "Incognito, extremely short of money, but still dare not even report the people who wants to kill you to the police, what powers do the people who chase you have!"

"Are you very capable of bullying students? Your son, isn't he almost the same age as him?"

The old man was shocked and said, "How do you know that I have a son!"

"I learned from you, cold reading isn't it?." Huang Ji said.

Lin Li said in a daze: "Huh? What kind of cold reading technique can predict this much in detail?"

"The young people nowadays are really amazing" The old man smiled faintly and recovered his calmness.

He can guess some things about Huang Ji, relying on cold reading. Through facial expressions, body movements, language expressions and other aspects, read the other person's mental activities and experiences.

Then use verbal techniques to make it seem like he had seen through the person fully but at the same time learn more about him while doing it.

In short, cold reading is a technique that makes people believe that "this person knows about me".

The old man is pretending that he already is proficient in this , but he never thought that Huang Ji is even more powerful!

Not only did he succeed in misleading his own judgment, but he also in turn learned so many things about him.

How would he know that Huang Ji temporarily learned some of the old man's cold reading technique, but he only used it as a cover. With his ability, the use of cold reading technique was simply an redundant technique.

"Good boy, it seems like we are going to fight today." The old man said.

Lin Li glanced at this old man, and thought in his heart: Do you still want to fight? We two young people would be afraid of you, an old man?

The old man smiled calmly and shouted: "Manager!"

"Here!" The night snack stall owner responded and walked out of the shop.

"I'm not paying!" the old man roared.

Lin Li was taken aback, and quickly looked at the shop owner, only to see the shop owner look blank.

Immediately after, the old man shook his hand off of Lin Li, and took the opportunity to break free of his restraint!

When Lin Li looked back, the old man has already ran away.

He also turned around and laughed: "Haha! I won't pay any money, Run guys!"

Lin Li was annoyed: Damn! We are not with you !

Just as he was about to chase, the boss rushed forward and grabbed Lin Li, "Don't go! He hasn't paid yet!"

"####.How had it turned out like this ...."
