Chapter 13: I'll take over the game
"Your way?"
I have to say that the bartender really thinks that this old man is getting more and more interesting: "So, with all due respect, I have a curious attitude, can I ask your way...... What is it? β
"Draw ......," John replied flatly.
"Huh...... Hahahaha......" When the bartender heard this, he finally couldn't hold back his laughter: "Draw? How to draw? You can't even guarantee the outcome of your own game now, and you are talking about a draw here? β
"No, I can assure you......," said John, "it is true that man is a creature capable of nourishing hatred, and not only that, but there are many other in our emotions, envy, jealousy, joy, sorrow, all-encompassing, we are complex...... At least that's what we think.
But at the same time, we are also very simple creatures, we will feel fear because of pain, we will feel sadness and hatred because of memories, we will also soften our hearts because of a tear in front of us, yes, we will change because of a little insignificant thing, and even know nothing about our own twists and turns of life, but still move forward upright.
This is the way we exist as 'weak beings' as you call them......
So, you can use all kinds of games to help you get to know us, but you shouldn't use this method to influence or change our emotions, like Jill's loss of a child...... You can put this hatred in front of her, but it is up to her to choose what she wants to do with it. β
"Hehe, so, did I do something superfluous?" The bartender still smiled: "But, you're not her, how do you know what choice she will make." β
"Yes, I don't know, but I can feel it, I can feel the sadness in her heart, and the confusion in the face of hatred, this is the emotion that a mother should have, and there are few mothers in human nature who can completely suppress all other emotions, so ...... She will choose ...... Stone. β
The bartender took a quiet breath, and he glanced at Jill on the side, and then, a little shocked, Jill also looked at John with the same shocked eyes.
Of course she hated the other person, but could a mother really watch a person have their ears torn out, their eyes gouged out, and their tongues removed? Although she may have expected this moment countless times in her dreams, but when she really stood in front of this tragic situation, was she willing to let her dead child suffer this kind of revenge? β
John continued to speak faintly, and at the same time, Jill finally turned over his cards...... One ...... Stone
"It's an option that's easy to guess. Kindness, or cowardice, this has never been a shortcoming, in the world where I exist, human beings are extremely impetuous, and even the word 'Madonna' has been listed as a word that can be wantonly abused, and countless people are shouting, if there is revenge, you have to take revenge, and if you kill someone, you have to pay for your life, just like you understand human nature...... But...... When he really shoved a knife into the hands of those who were shouting and asked him to stab the target of his hatred, no one dared to do it......"
"Hehe, it's ridiculous...... But...... That's human nature, oh yes, William out of ...... It's [cloth]. β
As soon as these words came out, William's mouth opened wide almost out of consciousness.
"In a game, some people choose to back down, and naturally some people choose to fight, and we can think of it less complicated...... Because I came out of the rock, the person who wanted to stay would come out of the cloth, and the person who wanted to leave would come out with scissors, but the scissors won the paper, and this is a circle, so the person who wanted to leave would also come out of the stone, so that the person who wanted to win would win, and the person who wanted to lose would lose, and it was very simple. β
At this moment, John also flipped over the cards in front of him in a daze.
...... A piece of ...... [cloth].
Everything is exactly as John said......
Suddenly, there was a breathless silence.
"Hahaha-" Finally, the bartender's laughter broke the silence: "Wonderful...... To be honest, I've rarely met someone as interesting as you, but I have a question, why would you think Jill would choose to come out of the stone? After learning that the chips can take the corresponding organs, few people will not be afraid of the pain, so, if it were me, I should try to make sure that I have more chips in my hand, otherwise, if someone has twice the chips in my hand, I will probably be threatened and become a puppet who can only follow the command of others. β
"I know, I said from you that 15 chips can buy a person's life, but when you have to use Jill to suppress all the chips on the field to 14, I found that this game is a game of [Pauper], [Nobility] and [King], the gameplay is also very simple, the person with the most chips is [King], the person with the least is [Pauper], [King] can command [Nobility], [Nobility] can command [Pale], it seems that the Pauper is just a puppet at the bottom, but the winning point is just in [ Poor people], I don't want to say more about the specific gameplay, I guess you are too lazy to listen. (If you want to know more about it, you can read a comic called "Gambling Apocalypse"). β
"However, people are not as smart as you think, many people only think that as long as I show weakness, then the people who want to win will not waste their chips on me, even if they want to control me, but I only have one or two chips, I will soon lose my usefulness, and then be judged a failure and leave the game, which is the official ending that Jill wants...... Although it may be a lot more complicated than you think to play, it doesn't matter, because I said, this game, from now on, I will take over......"
Everyone in the room was a little stupid, in fact, neither Jill nor William understood John's words very well, only that he had guessed his hand correctly, and at the end he said something that sounded ridiculous, 'I'm going to take over the game'.
Only the bartender, who seemed to suddenly realize something......
Because he found that after this round, everyone's chips have arrived.
Jill: 3 pieces.
William: 7.
John: 4.
In other words, John and Jill's chips combined are exactly the same as William's.
Moreover, as long as there are some simple exchanges, then the combination of chips of "Jill and John" can be completed, and the organs they have are also opposite to the organs in William's hands.
The corners of the bartender's eyes began to bend in a way that exceeded the limits of what humans could do, and the originally smiling face became strange because of the distortion.
"Hey, heyβββ I see." The bartender laughed: "In such a simple and crude way....... Mr. John, I really want to make you a drink......"
