Volume 1: First Kiss Roll - Stage Curtain Chapter 4 Gambling

Wrapped in a thin shirt, Cai felt the cold to the bone, at this moment, it seems that it is not time to go out, the streets are empty, the walls are painted with sunlight and all kinds of colorful paintings, each painting is full of happy atmosphere, but all this is too deliberate.

Cai glanced around, and suddenly found that there was a Dao Dao eye gaze behind him, and he saw that people were looking at him expressionlessly through a layer of glass in the window, but they didn't come out, cold, numb, like... A puppet, he sensed that something was wrong, and the sense of crisis in his brain reminded him, so he immediately stepped up his pace, ran, saw a map of the town on the way, took some time to write it down, and then ran all the way towards the mayor's affairs hall.

The people of the town seemed to be woken up from the fog, looking through the glass one by one, those eyes made Cai feel that he was about to be stripped away, it was too uncomfortable, looking at him like a dead man.

"It's finally here, whew~" Cai panted, saw that the door was not locked, so he pushed the door of the hall, and stepped in like a fleeing, his forehead was also sweating, the hall seemed to be a special place, as soon as he stepped in, people no longer stared at Cai, and the discomfort finally disappeared, "Damn, my mental state is too bad, I don't know how much my mental value has fallen, can this be humanized!" ”

At this time, Fakron's voice sounded, "At the request of the abandoner, the spiritual value of the forsaken will be reminded when it is close to the required value, if you need special treatment, you can think in your heart, and the value will be fed back at the same time." At present, Mr. Cai, your spirit value is 70 points, and it has dropped by 30 points in total. There are 14 days and 18 hours left, watch your time. The indication condition has been triggered, come to the [Affairs Hall], and indicate 1 - (Only those who seek alone can find happiness). ”

"Huh? fuck! Cai couldn't help but say a dirty word, you have to give an obvious hint anyway! However, he was not too excited, after all, it was already a surprise for him to have an instruction, and as for the content prompt [Crazy Killing], he only had a small guess at the moment, and he had vaguely understood something about this instruction.

After about ten minutes, he recovered and gracefully tidied up his meter for a while, and walked up the stairs to the mayor's office, where he looked to see an old man with gray hair already sitting in his chair early, but strangely enough, with an oil lamp on the table and a pair of reading glasses, he was struggling to read the book in his hand. The title of the book is "Flesh and Blood Sirs".

"Nice book, I read it not long ago, such an absurd book in the general sense, I feel meaningless to read, but this book is really full of substitution beauty, first-person perspective, classic horror atmosphere portrayal. The cheerful and extremely split patient, who is also the protagonist of this book: Lillard, that is, Sir Flesh, thinks that his love for the beauty of the body is extreme, and there is no conflict between the contradictory killing and his love of life, and he rescues those who have been taken away by him. If you're having a hard time flipping through it, I can help you out, I don't think I'm eloquent, Mr. Mayor. Hmm, or rather? Sir Lillard? Cai Bao smiled and said softly, his eyes staring at the old man, "If you don't mind, I want to sit, I'm a little tired." With that, he unceremoniously pulled out the chair and lay lazily on it.

When Cai called him Lillard, the old man seemed to touch his emotions, his hands couldn't help shaking, and in an instant, a pungent smell of blood made Cai frown, but it quickly disappeared, and the mayor took off his glasses and explained kindly: "Dear John, please don't think that the characters in the book have the same name as me, and just make a joke, it's very rude!" ”

Cai's eyes were slightly thoughtful, refusing to admit it? But he still laughed: "Hahaha, just kidding, Mr. Mayor, I just came to ask you something, where is Tina?" ”

"You always go to her house to play, don't you know very well, she stays at home all the time? Everybody knows, John, I'm going to be angry if you do this again. It seems that the mayor of the town has a displeased expression and a slightly stiff tone when it comes to Tina.

has already gotten the information, Cai will not ask again, that would expose his ignorance too much, it will seem that he does not look like a person from a small town, just sloppy eyes, and replied: "That's really not unexpected, I thought maybe today's good weather, she would take the initiative to come out to find me." So Mayor Mare, are you going to go hunting with me? ”

The mayor raised his hand, waved his hand, and said, "Go by yourself, I still have something to do." ”

Cai smiled, a little embarrassed, but still tried to say, "Mayor Town, there is a detailed map of the town, I want to see where it is suitable for hunting." ”

"Take it! Hurry up and get out, I'll be angry when I look at you. The mayor reluctantly threw over the map and scolded angrily.

Cai took the map, he didn't expect it to be so simple, but the map still had to be examined, and after thanking him repeatedly, he quietly closed the door, slipped out of the hall, waved his hand and said goodbye, "If there is any game, please ask the mayor of the town to take Xena!" ”

After Cai left for a long time, the figure of the mayor suddenly appeared at the door at some point, and his dark face showed a little strange color, "John, John, you know more and more, do you want to arrange a [elimination]?" ”

The mayor disappeared in a moment, and the next moment the mayor was lying on the bed leisurely, flipping through the books, the bed was covered with thick bandages, which seemed to have been cleaned many times, but there was still a smell of blood that was difficult to hide, and the room was filled with the smell of formalin, and there were bottles and jars, which were full of limbs soaked in potion......

Cai wasn't in the mood to go to Tina's house, why? According to the current development, every book in the bookshelf corresponds to a real patient in the town, yes, a patient! Every book is a twisted and absurd autobiography, and so is the diary at the beginning.... John's autobiography, Tsai speculates, they are all sick, they themselves are a sick person, but it seems that the vast majority of people have lost most of their selves without knowing what the impact is, and the current mayor of the town seems to be strong enough to resist this force, and Tina, Cai does not plan to go, it is too troublesome, he wants to use the time, 15 days is estimated not only to be his request, but to himself he will not live for 15 days! As time goes on, his mental state gets worse and worse, and slowly, he will really become John, the man of the town.

"Huhu, it's better to be optimistic, after all, it's useless to be anxious, now it's mostly my guesses, but I don't know, the test of this so-called performance stage is too weird."

As nearly an hour passed, Cai came to a place on the map, "Gambling House", a place he urgently needed now, on the previous bookshelf, he was shocked to find that there were four books of similar thickness, which meant that since the mayor of the town was unique, then the rest of the people were naturally also, [Outlaw Gambler], [Underground Doctor], [Black Guitar], the remaining four books, corresponding people, and one of them, in Cai's opinion, was extremely dangerous, but he had no other choice, because he was afraid that the life of the townspeople would make him experience the same as John, Cai didn't plan to wander the streets, but went to their respective venues. Speaking of which, Cai feels that this test is more like a terrifying nightmare game, but at the cost of "death"!

"Hello, Mr. Barclay? Are you there? Cai calmly knocked on the door of the gambling house, he casually scanned the street, people have begun to travel, there are more and more people, they are doing their own things, slowly, laughter and laughter into Cai's ears, he felt the attention of a group of eyes, turned around, but did not find that people were looking at him, he couldn't help but shed cold sweat, could it be that they were staring at me when I didn't look at them?!

Once the terrifying thought is remembered, it is difficult to throw it away, Cai's heart became anxious, but he did not panic, continued to shout, and made a gesture that seemed to be just looking for Mr. Barclay, "Hint, sir, your spirit value has dropped rapidly, facing 57, please find a safe area as soon as possible!" ”

Poof, the door was opened, Cai flashed in, closed the door smoothly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, the door was very empty, completely opposite to the crowd in the normal gambling house, there were only all kinds of cabinets inside, only there was a gambling table in the middle, the dim light reflected the dark silence, and there was a man in a black leather coat sitting next to him, he was holding a revolver at the moment, realizing that Cai had come in, he didn't raise his head, "John? How could you be interested in coming to me? Take a gamble? ”

"To be exact, I'm gambling with you!" Cai said calmly.

As if he was hooked up, the man raised his head, his face was very handsome, Bai Zhe's skin and three-dimensional facial features, his eyes were melancholy and full of a different kind of charm, this level of demeanor surprised the well-informed Cai, the man stood up, leaned in front of Cai, and said with a smile, "I hope you are serious, John, I don't want others to make fun of me and gamble?" You don't regret it. ”

Cai pursed his lips, and for a moment, his eyes showed a hint of disdain, "Tut-tut, just you are a gambler, win me?" How is it possible, I just hope you don't dare! ”

The man suddenly burst out laughing, tears streaming down, "Hahahaha, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever encountered in my life!" But at your price? What is it! You know the rules, gambling has no bets, what's the point. ”

Cai nodded, sat down in his seat, licked his dry lips, and his eyes were defiant.

"No, modern, let's get started, my time is precious." In the face of Cai's urging, Modern shrugged his shoulders and snapped his fingers, and a slight light appeared on the table, "Then what do you want to play?" ”

"Well, Russian roulette. And if you lose, you need to answer any of my questions. Cai said, and at the same time he already has a certain plan, the outlaw gambler in the book, Modern is a gambling addiction, he is not satisfied with just money, including everything that gamblers have! Then Cai is trying to get the necessary harvest from him using gambling!

"And what if you lose?" Modern asked.

"I'm not going to lose, sir." Cai sneered, but Cai wanted to change the rules, "I need an eight-round revolver, and I need eight bullets, seven rounds of gunpowder can't burn bullets normally, only one can be loaded into another one after each shot!" And the shot is directed at someone else. But I have a special fun way to play, halfway, there is a chance to give up shooting, but only once, see who wants to use it, how? ”

Modern looked at Cai with some surprise, he thought this person was very strange, and he was even more puzzled by taking the initiative to change the rules of the game, but he agreed, and it seemed that he was not afraid of anyone more than luck.

"I hope your fragile body will survive, but I think it's strange how your weak strength can keep your will under the fog, but you won't survive today. John. Your life is mine! Modern put the pistol in his hand on the table, the silver revolver reflected a dazzling light, stabbing Cai Fascinated, at the same time, Modern took out eight bullets, I don't know what to do, but it seems that the bullet should have changed in response to the request, he directly threw the bullet on the table, "Promise your request, seven of them can't be fired, so let's start!" You come first? ”

Obviously, the first person will have a slight advantage, but Cai shook his head, "You go first." ”

Modern picked up the pistol, put in a bullet, turned it around, and shot at Cai is randomly, and the crisp sound of the firing pin sounded, "It's a pity." Cai smiled, took the pistol, and didn't look at it, just put in the bullet, raised the gun to shoot, and did it in one go, feeling a powerful impact in the palm of his hand, but there was no gunshot, "It's a waste bullet, John, it seems that luck has not favored you." Modern said casually, glanced at Cai, and found that Cai's face was relaxed at this time, "Mr. Modern, it's your turn." (The first bullet is put into and rotates the wheel, there is a great chance that it will not touch the bullet, but the next bullet is placed immediately next to the previous bullet, and if it is aligned and put in, it must be shot with a bullet, because the nature of the revolver is to be fired in turns, and according to this rule, the last seven must be fired with live ammunition.) )

Then two more rounds followed, and another modern shot, and at the moment there were only two bullets left.

The atmosphere became interesting.

It's Tsai's turn! But he casually threw away the bullet in his hand, and suddenly said, "I give up this shooting!" Show your respect to Mr. Modern. He said this, but Cai's expression was smiling.

"Are you crazy? What do you mean! At this time, Modern was a little surprised, and if it went on like this, it seemed that he had taken advantage of it and got two shots. Looking at such a scene of modern performance, Cai just raised the corners of his mouth, smiled mysteriously, and then his eyes did not back down, staring at the muzzle of the gun with fire, "Shoot, sir." "Sweat dripping from his forehead, raising the gun, it is a waste bullet, and when I put it in again, my hands can't help but tremble, and the result is also a waste bullet! Both times there was no gunshot!

Until the last bullet was useless, Cai laughed completely, tears flowed out, and even slapped the table, his expression was so distorted, "Eh, hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm so proud." ”

Immediately afterwards, he didn't pay any attention to the expression of Modern Tieqing, and directly raised his gun to shoot, "Touch!" Modern's head exploded like a watermelon, and his body even fell to the ground and convulsed.

"Phew, little gambler, the first bullet is real! As for why, perhaps it involves your calculations. Every gambler who thinks he wants to win is not by luck, but by manipulating the gambling game, right? I deliberately changed the rules to make you fall into a misunderstanding, and even let you go out of a thousand, because you know which bullet is real! So, since you shoot first, you put the first bullet, the real bullet! Then you're on the safe side. Unsurprisingly, that's my reasoning. But after two more rounds of challenging fate, I already noticed that something was wrong, and you did. Luck is part of it, but the first calculation is the point, isn't it? And not the so-called luck! So, because you shoot first, in order to be fully prepared, in the case of your favor, you will not use the previous abandonment at all, but I already knew that only the first one was true, so I created the situation that was most conducive to your victory, so that it was not only dramatic, but also completely certain! Tsk, do you think you're fixing on my psychology in the game, thinking that I'm going to be like those poor fools, pinning your hopes on the hopes you have designed! I didn't dare to take advantage of that abstention, because abstaining would mean losing the opportunity to attack. That's why I deliberately gave up the opportunity when I put in a bullet for the last time, in order to knock the trigger and fire the first bullet at the end! Cai tilted his head, looked at the corpse that was still bleeding underground, and said sarcastically, the words kept spitting out his mouth, because he subconsciously felt thirsty, he directly took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him and drank it, as if the gambling game just now was like a pediatric.

"Very good, you actually saw through it, and your wisdom was beyond my expectations. Say what you want to ask! But I'm like why you're so decisive, I guess your rules were designed from the beginning, let me get into your trap. The hoarse words sounded, and the next moment, the corpse on the ground disappeared into mist, the counter opened, and a crippled dwarf walked out, and the dwarf had to reacquaint himself with the man in front of him, and there was a unique feeling in him that made him hairy! There is no doubt that the man in front of him is also a gambler! That self-confidence doesn't seem to have tasted defeat.

After glancing at Cai, the dwarf seemed to be really modern, and snatched the gun from Cai's hand with one hand, "That body, but my most satisfying bet, it's a pity, but I have to say that you won." On the surface, he didn't seem to care too much, (in fact, his heart was quite unsettled, no matter who was completely calculated, especially for a short moment of taking a look, Modern thought that the man in front of him was too terrible.) He replied to Tsai, "You're the third person I lost my bet on." But you're wrong, I can change my luck, but that's the time. ”

A big bright smile bloomed on Cai's face, and he was not modest in the face of praise, and he didn't know what he was really thinking in his heart, "Then, please tell me the truth about the town, Modern!" ”

"As you wish, winner."
