Chapter 130: The Strange Hospital (31)
Yan Ming sat calmly in front of the gambling table, and after seeing that Tang Juyi and the three seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, he also asked:
"So, have you decided?"
Tang Juyi made eye contact with Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian, and then stepped forward:
"We choose the truth."
Hearing this reply, Yan Ming was obviously very satisfied:
"A wise choice."
I saw Yan Ming raise his hand and wave, and a sense of dominance for no reason controlled the limbs of Tang Juyi and the others in the blink of an eye, like puppets controlled by silk threads, and the three of them walked to the gambling table involuntarily, pulled out a chair and sat down.
In the whole process, there is no dominance over the body except that the mind remains their own.
Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian didn't expect this to be the case at all, they both showed shocked looks, and they wanted to say something but couldn't speak.
Tang Juyi was not too surprised, but he had a more accurate judgment of the disparity in strength between the two sides.
Yan Ming watched with a smile as the three of them sat down in turn, then clapped his hands and said in a friendly manner:
"Thank you all for your cooperation."
With the end of this clapping action, the terrifying sense of dominance also dissipated suddenly, allowing the three of them to regain their physical autonomy.
Ya Wushuang shuddered, and finally felt the strength of the other party:
"It's not a match at all......
Lan Tian also looked solemn:
"I now feel that what Tang Juyi said may really be the truth."
Tang Juyi, who was sitting between the two, "sighed":
"Did you understand? I've said it's unbeatable. ”
After sorting out his expression, Tang Juyi looked at Yan Ming on the other side of the gaming table, and said in a voice that everyone could hear:
"Even if it is a task of torture difficulty, it is unreasonable for an opponent of this strength to appear, which means that we have another way to complete the task, that is, to follow some kind of game rules to achieve the mission goal......"
Yan Ming raised his hand to stop Tang Juyi from continuing:
"I also know something about the mission you are talking about. You're right, just follow my rules, and you'll be able to get the truth you want, and then complete your mission and leave this place unharmed. ”
"But ......"
Yan Ming's smile suddenly became a little mad:
"As long as the rules of the game allow, your lives could be taken at any time."
Ya Wushuang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and also subconsciously looked at Tang Juyi:
"What should I do?"
Tang Juyi was helpless:
"What can I do? Just follow his rules. ”
Immediately afterwards, Tang Juyi looked at Yan Ming and said:
"Tell me, what are the rules of the game this time?"
Yan Ming didn't speak first, just stretched out his hand and tapped the table, and the three golden chips were divided into three equal parts and then slid in front of Tang Juyi, Ya Wushuang, and Lan Tian.
The overall black-gold sheen of the chip is indescribably intricate, and the slightest glance at it gives the illusion of falling into it.
"This is your bargaining chip, a symbol of your respective soul ......"
Yan Ming's tone was calm, and at the same time, his fingers were a little bit, and three identical black and gold chips slid out of the stack again.
"And this is the reward for your winning game - soul chips, a substitute that can replace your death once."
Yan Ming smiled slightly, but his eyes were filled with flames of temptation.
At first, everyone didn't react, but they immediately realized what kind of good thing this "soul chip" was.
Although they were shocked by the man named Yan Ming in front of them, Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian's breathing was still disordered.
What a hot treasure would be a chip in place of a death? With this soul chip, it can be said that there is one more life, which is simply an artifact-like existence for a transcendent person who has been wandering on the edge of life and death!
Tang Juyi also stared at the dark golden chips with fanatical eyes, but it was only less than half a second before he calmed down again:
"But this is a table, which means that we have the possibility of giving away our original chips, which means handing over our souls, right?"
Hearing Tang Juyi's words, both Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian felt a chill in their hearts, and only then did they come back to their senses from the surprise and realize the huge risks involved.
Yan Ming nodded very gently:
"Exactly. But don't worry, because the rules of this game are actually very simple......"
Tang Juyi, who had been listening, sneered:
"Returns and risks are often interdependent, are you cheating on children?"
In the face of Tang Juyi's sarcastic questioning, Yan Ming did not mean to be annoyed, but had a calm attitude:
"This gamble is called the Tongue of Tantalus."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Juyi laughed out loud.
Ya Wushuang on the side was puzzled:
"What are you laughing at? Do you know what this Ross is? ”
Tang Juyi shook his head and laughed:
"I do know, because this Tantalus is a very bold and evil man, and even in the system of Greek mythology, he is quite special......"
With evil smiles, Tang Juyi and Yan Ming looked at each other, and at the same time stated in a strange tone:
"Tantalos, son of Zeus. Because of his origin, the gods held him in such high esteem that he could dine with Zeus without avoiding the gods' conversations, but the evil and chaos within him made him unworthy of this respect...... He began to do evil to the gods, even to the point of killing his own son, and made a sumptuous dish out of his son's bones, and feasted the gods to see if they knew everything......"
Speaking of this, Tang Juyi laughed, which made people feel a chill emerge:
"Hey...... As the first person to deceive the gods, his fate was not ordinary...... Tantalus was sent to hell by the gods to suffer, and although he was in the pool of water, he had to endure thirst, even if all kinds of full fruits were within reach, but he could not get them, and he could only experience hunger. There was even a boulder hanging above his head at all times, so that he was always shrouded in the shadow of death......"
Speaking of which, Ya Wushuang and Lan Tian, who listened to the story, had already realized that this gamble was probably not a good thing.
Tang Juyi licked his lips and looked at Yan Ming's eyes defiantly:
"Doctor Yan, if I'm not mistaken, this gamble called [Tongue of Tantalus] should be related to lies, right?"
Yan Ming was a little surprised by Tang Juyi's erudition, but still nodded:
"You're right."
Tang Juyi's smile was even brighter:
"The price of lying in Tantalus is endless torture, and what is the punishment if we lie in a game?"
Yan Ming's tone was very calm:
"Lost his soul and went through the same torture as Tantalus."
