Chapter 14 The Sharp Weapons of the World
Twilight didn't answer, but said, "Two wins in three games, there's no need to bet on the next game, right?" β
As soon as she spoke, the eyes of the spectators were startled from the dice cups of the two, and they suddenly felt that the game had been decided.
In both games, the boy opened a three-flower gathering, but the man missed again and again.
Could it really be that this poor sour boy is a master of the gambling table?
Twilight never said she wasn't a master.
During the time she was studying psychology, she was abroad. For practice, she spent days and nights in Las Vegas casinos, observing her opponents' expressions and movements to predict victory or defeat. It was also at that time that she practiced a good gambling skill, but she didn't like fancy techniques.
It's all about what she does. She is a forensic doctor, and her duties are to analyze the corpse, determine the cause and time of death, infer and identify the murder weapon, and analyze the means and process of the crime. Her job is to peel back the cocoon, so she doesn't like anything that hides the truth.
The level of gambling skills is not in fancy techniques, she doesn't like grandstanding, she likes to be efficient and orderly. The unremarkable technique saves time on fancy shows, is both efficient and contemptuous.
So far, those who despise her have never won her.
Twilight looked at the man, and now that she had won, it was up to the other party to see if she was willing to lose the bet.
Syllable!
The man slapped his palm on the table, his palm was swept up, his sleeves were swept away, and three silver tickets were crossed in front of Du Qing, "Lao Tzu loses and loses!" Silver ticket to you! But you have to tell me, how do you see through Lao Tzu? So that Lao Tzu can understand the loss of these three thousand taels! β
Twilight Qing glanced at the silver ticket on the table, and when she raised her eyes again, her eyes were extremely serious, she looked at the man for a moment, and nodded, "You sued me yourself." β
What?
The man was stunned for a moment, his brows twisted together, and his face was unhappy, "When did Lao Tzu sue you!" β
He thinks that this silver ticket is given simply, and he doesn't embarrass this kid, but he just asks how he was seen through, and he begs to lose convincingly. How do you know that this kid is talking nonsense?
When did he sue him? He didn't have a good brain to tell his opponent, and he wasn't looking for a loss!
The man's eyes were sharp, and he gradually took advantage of the wind and thunder, and his momentum was as strong as the crown of the five mountains, and the surroundings became quiet. In this hundreds of years of prosperous Jiangnan Ancient City, gamblers don't know blood, but they still feel that the atmosphere is not good. After the spectators were frightened, they retreated, and an open space gradually became empty outside the gaming table, and everyone glanced at the boy from a distance, and they all felt that he was afraid that he would not be able to leave so easily tonight.
The young man stood straight under the red beam color tent, the shadow that fell on the ground in the lamp did not break a minute, his face was cold, he was not afraid or frightened, he raised his hand and pointed to the surrounding spectators, "You scared them." All of them had the same reaction before they stepped away, and that was stiff legs and feet. β
The man subconsciously looked around, looking inexplicable, not knowing what the young man was doing with these visitors.
The spectators looked down at their legs and feet, remembering that they were really stunned for a moment before they retreated, and couldn't help but look up at the young man.
"This stiffness is called the freeze response, and the instinctive defensive response of a person when confronted with danger, without exception. Have you ever hunted? Twilight asked nonchalantly.
The man was stunned, his wrinkled brows were not relaxed, and he was impatient, "I've been beaten!" What's wrong? β
He's in the Northwest, and he's a good hunter! The general led people deep into the desert, and there was no shortage of him at any time!
"If you've hunted, you'll probably notice that when your prey is alert to danger approaching, it will stop all its movements, raise its head and ears up, and stiffen its whole body."
The man was stunned again, thought about it, and seemed to be.
Twilight asked, "Have you ever been in danger?" β
"Of course I did!" The Northwest Border Pass fought against Wuhu, which day was not on the tip of the knife?
"If you've ever been in danger, you should be able to remember that your whole body tenses up at the moment of distress, like the prey you encounter while hunting."
ββ¦β¦β
"It's instinct, an animal instinct that you can't lose even if you evolve into a human."
ββ¦β¦β
"The moment you missed, your eyes locked on focus, your neck stiffened, and your breath was held, all of which belonged to freezing reactions. You can cover it up, but the truth is in you. Your body's reaction tells me that you are in danger, we are in a gambling game, and the only thing that can make you feel dangerous is to lose. So I know, you lost your hand. β
ββ¦β¦β
The noisy and lively lobby was silent for a while.
No one reacted, and they really didn't know how to react.
No one has ever heard of these statements.
Twilight doesn't care if anyone understands or not, she complies with the quid pro quo and can leave. She picked up the silver ticket on the table and put it in her arms, picked up her baggage, and walked out of the crowd.
No one stopped her, the crowd unconsciously dispersed, making a way, watching the young man walk out of the crowd, the back in the light shadow was thin, but he was a little outstanding.
"Stop!"
The man behind him suddenly drank, and Twilight stopped and turned around, his face covered with a bit of frost.
The man looked at Twilight, but he didn't want to make things difficult, but said, "Boy, report your name!" Lao Tzu has not lost for many years, so he must know the name of the person who won Lao Tzu. Whether you have a chance to see you again in the future, Lao Tzu will remember you! β
The frost on his face gradually faded, Twilight looked back at the man for a moment, turned away without saying a word, and the voice came through the thin back, faint and alienated.
"Tuesday eggs."
With that, she was out of the gambling house.
There was no sound in the gambling house for a long time, and after a while, the corner of the man's mouth twitched, scratching his head and muttering, "Damn, it's worse than Lao Tzu's name!" β
At this moment, in the private room on the third floor, there was also a twitch in the corners of someone's mouth.
The man was dressed in green clothes and a jade belt, holding a folding fan in his hand, the fan half covered his face, avoiding the window and looking down at the lobby. The pair of slender Danfeng eyes were smiling and charming, and the bottom of the eyes was full of interest, "A girl's family, it's ruthless enough to make herself so ugly, and she can't even bear to take her name like this, it's interesting!" It's so much fun! β
Others may not be able to see that the girl has changed her appearance, but she can't escape the eyes of his son Wei. In addition to his light skills, he dared to be the best in the rivers and lakes, and the disguise technique was even more green in his early years, above the hands of his master Hegu Ghost. In his opinion, this girl's disguise technique was just a superficial technique, and although she used it very skillfully, it was still a little tender in his eyes.
"There are too many interesting women in your eyes, and there is only one person before noon today." There was a scattered voice behind him, the candle shadow was deep, warming the color tent, but the person's voice was better than the cold snow in early winter, lazy, and slightly cool.
Wei Zhuozhi turned around, a beauty couch behind him, a pine chess table on the couch, a person lying lazily, drunk and half a couch.
The man was covered with half a purple jade gilt mask on his face, holding a son in his hand, his eyes fell on the chess game, and he only saw that the fingertips in Hua's sleeves were like jade, and he took the posture of the Mulan Heavenly Maiden beside him.
"You're saying I'm thinking differently?" Wei Zhuo smiled, but his voice suddenly rose, and the fan suddenly closed, pointing to the sky and swearing, "Wronged!" Men in the world, only I miss love! I have a fiancΓ©e at home, seventeen years old, named Xiaofang......"
The man on the couch looked down at the chess game, but he didn't hear it.
Wei Zhuozhi didn't joke anymore, walked to the other side and sat down, picked up a son, and asked, "What she said, how much truth do you think?" β
"Well, there's some truth. It's just ......" The man raised his hand, and a sharp light came out of the light shadow of the chess pieces at his fingertips, and the shadow of the sword and snow fell into the chessboard, and the crisp sound was like thunder, but there was a lazy voice between the eyebrows, and the voice was lazy, and the meaning was lazy, "It almost ruined my business." β
"It's not dangerous, it's not dangerous, she only needs Lu Da three thousand taels, and she didn't win it all. He took the silver ticket from my Spring and Autumn Gambling House, and went back to Gu Old Man's side to get a military stick. On this trip to the Northwest, I will definitely be able to find out some facts about the Northwest Army through this person. Wei Zhuozhi smiled calmly.
In today's imperial court, the foreign relatives are autocratic, the Yuan family is dominant, and the government is in charge of the government inside, and there are 300,000 wolf divisions in the northwest outside. Now he took the opportunity of the Wuhu coalition army to recruit troops in Jiangnan and expand the Northwest Army, and the heart of the Yuan family was clearly revealed. Yuan Xiu has been at the border for ten years, and he must be carefully explored.
The noise in the lobby gradually increased, and the gamblers talked about the gambling game, but the room seemed to be quiet for a while.
"You're not interested? What the girl said about you and I was unheard of. β
"You said she was a woman, and I don't have a woman by my side."
"I know, everyone in the world knows that you are so masculine and like to be female." Wei Zhuozhi shook his fan and smiled, his phoenix eyes were flying, full of malicious banter.
Bu Xihuan melted in the couch, without saying a word, only raised his hand and dropped a son, his fingertips soaked his sleeves with coldness, and the chess game suddenly showed a tragic killing.
Wei Zhuozhi's eyelids jumped, and he gritted his teeth, this is revenge!
"But look at her age, this kind of high theory may not come from her, maybe it is taught by a master, if you can recruit this master, it will definitely help you!"
If there is a person in the world who can observe words and colors in the subtleties, and peek into people's thoughts and thoughts, this person will be a sharp weapon!
"Most of the sharp weapons in the world are double-edged, hurting others and hurting themselves." Bu Xihuan flicked his sleeves, and all the chess pieces in his hands were scattered aside.
This game has been decided.
Wei Zhuozhi also lost the chess pieces in his hand, and he was never his opponent, "So this girl can't let go, I'll ask Luluo to invite her back." If it is not for me, it cannot be used for others. β
"Not necessarily. The Thorn Moon has gone, and it should be on the way back with the people at this time. "Bu Xihuan melted back, closed his eyes carelessly, the candle was sleepy, and he was a little tired.
Wei Zhuozhi was shocked, the Piercing Moon Department was dispatched? When?
Although his martial arts are mediocre, but the two of them are in the same place, and he will not be unaware of the dispatch of the Assassination Moon Department. But he really didn't notice it, could it be......
"When did you improve your skills again?"
"It's not going to be you, you haven't grown for years."
Wei Zhuo choked, he dared to guarantee that this was also revenge! Didn't he just say a word of await? Can this man not be so cautious?
Resisting the urge to stab, Wei Zhuozhi bowed his head and said, "In this case, I will wait." In a moment the girl came, and she wanted to see who she was. βββ

Science:
Regarding the freezing reaction, let me give you the most common example.
When crossing the street, a car came from the opposite side, and at this time, intellectually we all knew that we had to dodge, but our first reaction must not be to dodge, but to stiffen our legs and feet, and we were so frightened that we stood still. This is the freezing reaction, the instinctive human reaction when confronted with an emergency.
