134. Change of identity
The crimson flame lit the cigarette.
Du Wei took a sip, thinking about the relationship between evil spirits and gambling in his heart, and at the same time, thinking about the winery.
In front of him, Howard Victor, whose body was stretched out like a snake, froze in an eerie pose.
At such a close distance, Du Wei could even see that its eyes were very wide, and bright red blood was left at the corners of its eyes......
The flame of the lighter is also gradually shrinking, but the speed is not fast.
After all, at that time in the Hill Psychiatric Hospital, even the nuns could not do anything before extinguishing them, they could only force the flames to gradually shrink or even extinguish, and even if the evil spirits were more terrible and evil, they could not be more terrifying than the nuns.
"Hoo ......"
Du Wei exhaled a puff of smoke, stretched out his completely evil and spirited right hand, and took all his cards in his hand.
He glanced at it, and the best five were just right to make a flush of the same color.
According to the rules of Texas Hold'em, a straight flush is higher than any other hand.
The hand of the evil spirit cannot win unless it is also the same color and straight flush.
But what is known is that the evil spirit has a pair of cards in his hand, and if its remaining five cards are of the same color and a straight flush, then it is Dewey who loses.
If it's a normal gamble, this possibility is pitifully small.
But this is a gamble with evil spirits, using unseen things such as lifespans and souls as bargaining chips......
It was so urging to open that it was definitely going to win.
That is to say, either it is "out of a thousand", or when the cards are drawn, the cards in Du Wei's hand will be changed.
So, under the extremely vicious gaze of Howard Victor, Du Wei burned the cards with the flame of a lighter......
Moment.
It's as if provoked.
The entire table was covered in shadows, and as far as the eye could see, except for Dewey sitting at the table, the area illuminated by the lighter, and Alex holding a black umbrella behind him, the rest of the people seemed to have disappeared.
In the state of spiritual vision, the thin black lines on Du Wei's body gradually became more and more.
It was hazy and wrapped around him, like a layer of fog.
In Texas Hold'em rules, a waiver is the same as a loss.
Playing tricks on destroying cards is the most despicable and will get tangled.
But this gamble is not between people, but between hunters and evil spirits.
Evil spirits can "come out of thousands", and Du Wei can naturally play tricks.
If you are an ordinary person, you have no qualifications to cheat at all, and you can't afford the consequences.
But Du Wei, who has a mask, a lighter, a black umbrella, and is still a hunter, if he doesn't even have the qualifications to cheat, then this evil spirit is too terrifying.
At this moment, the demon's head stretched forward, and his hands reached out to the black filaments, or chips, on Du Wei's body.
Du Wei leaned back, a thought flashing through his mind.
The evil spirit of being a dealer also has to play tricks.
The lighter can last a few minutes, but it seems that it can't wait anymore and wants to forcibly take away the "chips".
As long as it succeeds, then Dewey's act of burning the deck is meaningless.
Behind her, Alex's face was very pale, she was holding a black umbrella, and she was not affected by evil spirits like everyone else, nor was she able to see the essence of evil spirits like Du Wei.
At this time, the evil spirit she saw in her eyes was still the same appearance of countless familiar people overlapping each other, swooping forward, hideous and evil.
If it weren't for Du Wei, she would even have the urge to turn around and run away at this moment.
But she knew that the more times like this, the more she couldn't leave Du Wei behind.
So she immediately opened the black umbrella and blocked herself and Du Wei under the umbrella.
This umbrella is an antique, and the shape is also more old-fashioned, but because of the noble status of its original owner, the materials from which it is made are the best things.
The surface of the umbrella is pitch black and neat, completely covering the bodies of the two people, and the large spreading shadows can only be stopped when they are about to touch the area under the umbrella.
It's the same with evil spirits.
It reached out to grab the black filament on Dewey's body, but couldn't move a little further.
Moreover, with the opening of the black umbrella, the black filaments on Du Wei's body also seemed to be isolated, falling into a state of immobility, instead of the previous boiling, like the sense of déjà vu of a living thing.
……
A minute later.
Du Wei finished smoking, pressed the cigarette butt out, and said calmly: "Now I declare that this gamble is invalid." ”
As the voice landed.
The evil spirit was even more angry, and it lay on the gambling table, sticking its head under the umbrella, staring at Du Wei's face, but no matter what, it couldn't get into the umbrella.
After becoming a demon completely, it seems that it can no longer speak.
Or rather, those words just now...... It's nothing more than the product of being influenced.
Alex behind her covered her mouth with one hand, she wanted to close her eyes, but she was worried that something would happen to Du Wei, so she could only force herself to watch.
At this time, Du Wei lowered his head and looked at it expressionlessly.
"Actually, I'm curious, why are you so obsessed with gambling, is it because you were Howard Victor when you were alive?"
He used the word "you", but he didn't have the idea of communicating with the other party, but said it to himself.
"The last time I pressed it, I thought you were the carrier, but now I'm rejecting that idea."
"There are actually a lot of problems in this gamble, you can't lie, this one is determined by my basic analysis."
"As long as I start gambling, I'll lose anything."
"When the game begins, there will be a winner or loser."
"We do play Texas Hold'em, but this game is not necessarily the rules of Texas Hold'em."
"A deck of poker, removing two joker cards, and using the remaining cards to compare the size is the way Texas Hold'em is played."
"So, what if two joker cards also count in the rules?"
"I think that's the truth."
As he said this, the malice in the demon's eyes became even stronger, and dense black silk threads spread from its eyes to its face.
Then, as if extremely unwilling, it reverted to its previous appearance, and little by little returned to its seat across the table.
Du Wei knew that it could not break through the black umbrella and attack him, which means that the result of this gamble could only be nullified.
When both sides do not see the size of the opponent's deck, there is no such thing as winning or losing. 、
But Du Wei still wants to continue to gamble with this ghost.
Du Wei leaned forward, crossed his hands, and said coldly to the dealer opposite: "Since the last gamble is invalid, then as a qualified gambler, both sides can't leave until they see the winner or loser, do you think it's right?" ”
In this sentence, he is actually expounding the rules of the gambling game.
If the other party is an evil spirit, then it is completely possible to kick him out, but now it seems that the whole winery is the real evil spirit, it is not ......
In other words, it is the game itself, or the medium.
Sure enough, as Du Wei thought, although the resentment and malice in the banker's eyes became more and more intense, and the sense of depression was stronger, it did not deny Du Wei's request.
So, Du Wei calmly announced: "You didn't say at the beginning that only you can sit in the bank, so now in this gambling game, it is me who sits in the bank, and the game between us is to guess the identities of both parties." ”
"I'm the banker, and if both sides guess correctly, then the winner is me, but if I can't guess your identity correctly, you're the one who wins."
"And in this bet, you're going to lose, so the chips are everyone."
