Chapter 12: Ending the Game
Okay, let's briefly take a look at the current character relationships.
First, Jill is a mother waiting for her child to arrive, while Cisse is an addict who, after a brief encounter, has his dreams of a new life in vain.
And after Jill learned of this memory, her outburst of hatred directly led to Cisse's out...... Of course, he also left one tongue of his own, a pair of eyes, and a pair of ears before he was out.
These organs were stripped alive.
Although Jill was full of remorse for his actions afterwards, he ...... She let it happen anyway.
One might say that Jill did the right thing, because Cisse deserved it all.
It may also be said that Jill did something wrong, after all, this kind of thing is too cruel and should be handed over to the law.
Well...... These words seem to make sense, people always have seven emotions and six desires, when faced with hatred, everyone will want to retaliate, and people are always rational, we know how to use the law to restrain ourselves, otherwise, the world would have been chaotic a long time ago.
But...... These rules only apply to our usual lives. And in this game, you don't have to think about these, everything here has to be spoken with chips.
There is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, throw a few chips, you can make the other party get punished.
Under such rules.
As an old man who has been deprived of medical funds and can only watch himself die, it is possible for John to do anything.
So this will, William is trying his best to appease John, who seems to be expressionless, but no one knows in his heart whether he has been corrupted by hatred. At the same time, he also secretly counted the chips on the table.
At this moment, the chips in John's hand are similar to his own, except that he has two [noses] in his hands and no [mouths], while John's chips are very lucky, with all five organs.
In other words, if he wants to take revenge on himself, he can't keep his mouth.
However, Jill's chips have mouths, so can he exchange them with Jill?
What if you can't exchange it, and Jill doesn't want to exchange it with herself, or if you sit on the ground and start the price?
So, do you want to make peace with Jill first and reach a front?
William is worthy of being a master in the insurance industry for half his life, and he is extremely familiar with the means of dealing with people, so these problems and corresponding solutions have gradually taken shape in his mind.
However......"
"I don't need to." John said lightly.
This time, not only others, but even the bartender was a little stunned.
"Oh? You mean...... Don't you need me to do anything for you? β
The bartender asked, and he deliberately accentuated his tone, as if to remind him. This memory, but the two of you recall at the same time, if you don't do something, then William is likely to strike first, after all, no one wants to leave a person who has a grudge against him on the field in this situation.
"Yes, I don't need any help from you." John replied again, "So, if you're not going to let us go, then, hurry up and let this game continue." β
"Hey, that's interesting, so as you wish." The bartender said with a smile.
I have to say that in the eyes of the bartender, this old man named John is really interesting, like this kind of game, the bartender doesn't know how many times he has watched it, in the face of hatred, almost everyone will more or less lose themselves and choose revenge.
Of course, there are many people who choose to do nothing, but most of these people do so because of cowardice, fear, or simply stupidity. John, on the other hand, was calm, as if he could maintain the mentality of a spectator in the face of a man who had cut off his hope of survival.
The most important thing is that from his words, the bartender seems to perceive that he is from beginning to end. It seems like I've been enjoying this game.
"So...... Next round. The bartender said.
......
With these words, the first to pick up the cards, about to be buckled on the table, was Jill, and she didn't even glance at what cards she picked up.
In fact, the only thing this woman wants to do now is to get out of this game quickly, she doesn't want to play anymore, and she doesn't want any chance to fulfill her wishes, she just wants to lose these cards in her hand quickly and leave.
William, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and tried to look at the other two people as quietly as possible, hesitating on his cards.
Then...... John moved.
He casually picked up a card in front of him and threw it on the table.
This action shocked everyone, including the bartender, again.
for he is made of stones......
Well, yes, he made a stone, and to everyone's surprise, it wasn't his cards, but that he threw a card on the table so casually, and the clenched fist was clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes.
There was a brief silence......
"Hey-hee-" the bartender chuckled, "Mr. John, I think I need to ask, have you decided to play this card?" β
"Yes......" John replied.
"Okay, but I'll have to warn you, you're a face-up ......"
John nodded: "I know, the rules don't say that the cards played must be upside down, right?" β
"Of course."
"Well, I'm not going to change it anymore." John reaffirmed his actions.
William and Gill looked at each other, and they were both a little overwhelmed in the face of this "open-card" behavior.
So, they didn't notice that the bartender's expression, from the beginning of the game until now, changed for the first time, and he no longer smiled, but frowned slightly.
"Heheβββ I'm sorry, but can I bother." Suddenly, the bartender asked, "Are you trying to give up the game?" β
John was silent for a moment: "Can I ask you a question before I answer that question?" β
"Absolutely, that's fair."
John raised his head: "What is the point of this game?" β
The bartender hesitated: "Meaning?" β
"Yes, at least until now, I don't see any meaning, although it is a bit ridiculous, but I have undoubtedly confirmed that you have a power that is beyond our knowledge, so if you just want to play with us, or kill us, then you don't have to use this way, it's too troublesome."
The bartender smiled: "Hehe, no, no, I don't take the initiative to kill anyone here, I'm just following what you ask, actually...... It may be rude to say, but your human lives are really not worth the effort. I designed these games only because I needed hate. β
"Hate?"
"Yes, hatred, you humans are not powerful, but your accumulation of hatred is greater than that of many other creatures, and even sometimes, the slightest bit of resentment, nourished by your heart, grows at an astonishing rate...... So, I'm just collecting hate. As for the reason, I personally don't think I need to explain it to you, because you have no way of understanding it. β
"So, are we just guinea pigs for some kind of experiment of yours?"
"Oh, please don't say that, I'm a person who abides by the principle of equal exchange, you know, at the end of this game, I can grant one of the winner's wishes, so if you look at it another way, you should thank me."
"So that's the case...... jigsaw nodded, and said lightly: "Sure enough, this game is not the same as I thought." β
The bartender raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I don't know why, but as soon as I heard your explanation of the game, I seemed to lose interest in the game, and even, a little bored. Originally, I thought you were trying to change something, or prove something to show us, but I seem to be thinking too simply, for an existence like you, our human emotions, or ...... Human nature shouldn't be able to arouse your interest, right? β
The bartender still smiled and did not answer.
"Okay, so let me answer your question, I don't think this game is fun, so I don't want this game to go the way you set it......"
John whispered.
"I want to ...... End it my way......"
