After this round, the whole game has completely changed its flavor.

Jill's body and mind were completely overcast, and Cisse could only let out a helpless moaning sound, unable to speak or see. Although William didn't look like much, he was probably scared to pee, as for John...... Just holding that glass of milk, still like a quiet old man.

Without further ado———

Since Jill can't get back the chips he threw out, the number of chips has arrived.

Jill: 4 pieces

William: 5

Cisse: 1 piece

John: 4

Next Round...... And then it began.

Here, I want to focus on Cisse, perhaps to keep the game going, the places that have been stripped away have been filled with those hissing black smoke, as if they have been scorched by iron plates, although they look just as shocking, but at least they will not die of bloodshed.

Of course, the current Cisse can't see or speak, although it may be because he still has the last bit of fantasy, so he desperately persevered and continued this round, but ...... Since he only had one chip left, his end was almost predictable.

Everyone turned over the cards in front of them.

Jill: Stone

William: Stone

Cisse: Scissors

John: Cloth

This was read out by the bartender, because Cisse was no longer visible, and then the score came

Jill: 4 pieces

William: 5

Cisse: 0 pieces

John: 5

There was no reversal, no luck, and Cisse was eliminated like that......

"So, players, now that we're in the fifth round, we've finally got an eliminator among us, and that's Mr. Cisse." The bartender's gentle voice came as expected.

Of course, at this moment, no one would be deceived by his smiling appearance.

And with the bartender's words, Cisse, was thus under the gaze of the rest...... Gone.

"Woo-woo———" Jill finally seemed to have lost her patience, and she buried her face in her hands and began to weep.

"Miss Jill, it's not your fault, in fact, considering all the things that Cisse has done to you, he deserves it." The bartender said softly, just like before.

"May I ask where Cisse has gone?" William finally mustered up his courage and asked.

The bartender smiled: "Of course he should be where he should be, but although he is a loser, I can guarantee that he will not be punished......"

Yes, as it was said beforehand, there will be no punishment for failure, but at the moment, this rule will not make the rest of the people feel a little more relieved, because they feel that the game itself is a punishment.

"Can I abstain?" Jill asked lightly, "I don't want to play anymore." ”

"Hehehehe—of course not." The bartender smiled and said, "I asked at the very beginning of the game, and no one was going to abstain back then, so you had to keep the game going." ”

Hearing this, Jill buried her face in her hands again......

And that's when ...... William and John, as the people with the most chips on the court now, also had another headache and another memory.

......

......

And this memory is special because ...... This memory is shared by both John and William.

They are all in one office...... They are sitting facing each other.

William in his memory is almost the same as now, in a suit and leather shoes, and a standard successful person.

John, on the other hand, looked a little younger than he was now, but his skin was paler, and his cheeks and eyelids were flushed with an unhealthy flush.

"William, first of all, I have to thank you, without you, my wife and I would never have been able to build a drug rehabilitation center."

William smiled: "It's nothing, I just handed the plan to investors who are willing to pay." ”

"Okay." John nodded, "But...... This time, I have more important things. ”

"Oh, please."

"I have cancer...... A tumor, right in my head. ”

"Uh...... It's unfortunate. ”

"Yes, it's unfortunate, but there's something even more unfortunate." As he spoke, John took out a piece of paper: "Here is my list of insurance claims, a total of 31 items, and 28 of them have been returned...... I don't know why. ”

William picked up the paper, just glanced at it lightly, and set it aside.

"Uh...... John, listen to me...... Your insurance is clearly written that this is medical insurance, so all these claims must be used for medical treatment. ”

"Yes, I understand, but...... Why didn't I get successful, I mean, I have to spend a lot of money on it every year, but when I get sick, I don't get a penny. ”

"Because...... You are an old man who is over half a hundred years old. William was silent for a second or two: "As far as I know, brain tumors are difficult to operate, so ...... We believe that your treatment ...... No value......"

"No value?"

"Uh..... Yes, it's worthless, no matter how much you treat, you can't change the ending in the end, it's like falling off a cliff, no matter how much you wave your arms, you can't really fly, so ......"

"So...... You've abandoned me like that? ”

"I'm sorry, John, but it's government policy, we don't have a lot of claims, so it should be used for those ......"

"Someone worth saving?"

"Yes, thank you for your understanding."

John looked up at William in memory: "So, you think that life can be divided by 'worth saving' and 'not worth saving', don't you?" ”

William seemed to be stared at uncomfortably: "No, I mean, it's ...... policy, you are already too old, so ...... It's a pity. ”

John slowly stood up, picked up the claim list on his desk, and formed a ball of paper.

"Maybe from the first day we met, we weren't talking about the same thing, you were talking about money, or some kind of policy...... And I'm talking about ...... It's life. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked out of the office.

In a trance, John and William woke up from their memories almost at the same time, William raised his head, and then was surprised to find that John on the other side was also staring at him...... The eyes are facing each other.

"Hehe, that's interesting." John said lightly: "I didn't expect that I was an old man who had cancer and was waiting to die, and the person who threw all my treatment claims into the trash can was sitting in front of me." ”

William struggled to keep his composure: "Hey John, listen, I know you may have some resentment in your heart, but I don't think this is the time to dwell on this......"

That's when it happened.

"So, all of you, if there's anything I need to do...... Please feel free to send it. ”
