In an instant, the room became brighter.

Changsheng didn't look over his head and found that outside the papier-mâché window, it was already dark night.

"Ah, my poor child...... I don't blame you, though, it's what you should do.

As I said, if someone dies eventually, they will become part of the tower. But...... If all the Sacrificers who come to challenge are destroyed, the Guardians will be returned, just like in a restart game.

That is, if I kill you, she will come back. ”

For a moment, Changsheng suddenly understood the meaning of the last mocking thrush's words.

"Sir will help me. Like, nothing ever happened. ”

However, Qiu Miao's gloomy expression suddenly changed again, and he returned to his previous gentle smile.

"Most Guardians have been worn out by the long hours of time. But I'm different, I said it, I'm a temporal ability, and I can change the relative rate of time.

Naturally, when I'm bored with boring time, I just fast forward everything around me. In other words, for me, I still remember the last time I came to declare war. ”

This time, Changsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva almost at the same time as Nan Xuan.

Ultramarine and Yue Wange looked at each other for two seconds, and Yue Wange shook her head.

"Good news for you, as a human being of sound mind, I don't have any cruel thoughts. Why don't you follow the rules of our way?

Before anyone could answer, Qiu Miao magically took out a set of playing cards. The fancy deck doesn't fit in with the chic room.

"Do you guys play Blackjack?"

"21 o'clock?"

"yes. ”

Qiu Miao expertly shuffled two decks of cards. While operating, while explaining:

"It's usually two to six people, but it's a lot of people here. To be fair, one-on-one is fine, and you are free to play to your strengths. ”

"So, what are the conditions for victory?"

Tao Zuoci said, his eyes still fixed on the things that belonged to Qiu Miao in his hand.

"Ah, of course it's easy. If anyone loses, the winner shoots him in the left chest, and whoever loses the ability to play is replaced. If it were me, even if you win, the staircase to the third floor would open. ”

It's clear to everyone what it means to lose the ability to play.

How did he calmly state terrible things?

Changsheng couldn't understand anything. She swept her gaze over her companions, and everyone's faces were not good-looking.

"Of course, you don't have a choice. If I could, I didn't really want to use my talents. ”

Yes, there really is no choice.

Qiu Miao said that in order to prevent them from doubting themselves, they could ask Chonglin, who has similar mind-reading skills, to be a dealer.

When everything was ready, Chonglin stared at him many times, and indeed found no clues.

The results of the draw selected the first participant - Nan Xuan.

Changsheng felt that his back was soaked in cold sweat.

She timidly pulled out a chair and sat down, and Chonglin stood between the two, silently dealing cards.

When the first card was buckled on the table, Chonglin realized that Nan Xuan had a 6, while Qiu Miao had a 4.

Very similar figures. He sweated for her, wondering if he should make any code.

The second card is all face up after that. The two sides did not stop, and Nan Xuan got 5, A, and 7 respectively. And Qiu Miao's cards are J, 2, and 4.

For the in-depth dealer, the answer is clear.

J is calculated as 10, then the sum of the numbers in the dealer's hand is 20 points. In Blackjack, an ace is counted as 11 if he does not bust the player.

Obviously, the sum of the cards in Nan Xuan's hand exceeded 21 points.

But if we take A as 1...... The total is only 19 points.

Nan Xuan didn't know all this, she was just hesitating to continue bidding. But Chonglin didn't know what the next one would be.

A bean-sized drop of cold sweat dripped down his brow.

Nan Xuan noticed that Chonglin's eyes were nervous, and her face became flustered.

And from beginning to end, Qiu Miao was that calm and breezy posture.

Immortal's eyes gradually turned crimson.

She observes that the probability of the next card being greater than 2 is very high. However, if the trading is suspended, the probability of losing is greater.

She didn't know why her ability led her to such a conclusion, but she quickly reacted, which meant that the number in Qiu Miao's hand was close to 21.

She put her hand on Nanxuan's shoulder to encourage her, suggesting that she continue to bid.

There was a cacophony of voices outside. It's the critters running around.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck.

The rolling thunder was followed by a flash of lightning.

Changsheng suddenly realized a problem: she had misunderstood Nan Xuan's talent before.

Once, they all thought that Nan Xuan's natural ability was the control of animals.

But that's wrong.

It's not the animals that she can control, it's the weather.

And with such a huge talent, Nan Xuan, who is still weak, can't use it easily.

What woodwork was struck by lightning. A fire raged in the courtyard, illuminating the white-framed windows red.

The fire flickered ethereally, and everything in the room was full of shadows.

"Suspension ......"

Nan Xuan didn't have the courage to continue in the end.

The hole cards are revealed.

She was about to pay the price for her timidity.

Qiu Miao's action of picking up the gun was almost instantaneous, and without hesitation, he accurately hit the bullet into Nan Xuan's heart.

The gunshot rang out louder than any previous thunderclap.

There was no more roaring thunder in the courtyard, only the flames were still burning and crackling.

Nan Xuan slowly slid down the chair.

Gu Qiancheng was the first to rush up to set her up, and a group of people reacted and hurriedly gathered over.

"There are still dozens of seconds! The heart is traumatized and disrupts the blood supply function, and it can be rescued before the brain is ischemia. As long as you win during this time......"

Tao Zuoci gritted his teeth and said. Although he never seemed to regard the others as friends, at least at this time they had only one enemy in common.

Changsheng finally realized that there was only one advantage in this game for them.

That's the number of people.

The victor will step on the corpse of his comrades.

"I'll come. ”

Changsheng pulled out the stool and sat down on the pool of blood left along the back of the chair.

Chonglin glared at Qiu Miao's position, he just calmly loaded the gun, still with the same expression.

At the urging of Changsheng, Chonglin quickly dealt the cards. Using an estimate of probability, and a little bit of luck, she won the game easily.

Chonglin almost grabbed the speed of rushing over and touched the gun in Qiu Miao's hand, and quickly slid it off the table.

Changsheng took it, jumped on the table, and shot Qiu Miao hard in the heart.

"Well, it's a good play for a newbie...... It's a little off, but it's definitely enough to kill you. ”

Changsheng was stunned.

He seems to be still very relaxed. It's like this bullet didn't hit him.

But in the open gown, between the black hair, and on the snow-white shirt, there was clearly a dark blood hole.

Blooming like a red flower.

Like red-crowned cranes.

"But I don't have a heart. ”

The words were like thunder on the ground, and a wave of sorrow and grief surged into Changsheng's heart.

First incredulous, then short-lived doubt. Silence followed, and after silence came unspeakable indignation.

Gu Qiancheng's screams diverted her gaze.

She pushed away the stool and rushed over, her hands tightly gripping Nan Xuan's arm.

It's cold, but it's still soft.

She clutched the purple hibiscus silk flower tightly in her hand.

That's the gift she once gave her.

Grief and indignation turned to despair.

Before such despair fermented, she heard Jiang Shuo's voice. The sound became far away.

Everyone looked back. They were surprised to find that at some point, he was already standing behind Qiu Miao's chair with a gun, and the gun in his hand was pressed against the side of his head.

Qiu Miao took a slow sip of tea.

"You liar. ”

"Oh, what did I lie to you - the winner shot the loser in the left chest, right?"

It was put on the table.

Yue Wange looked at him coldly. After a brief moment of stunnedness, Ultramarine gritted her teeth.

"Don't hesitate, shoot. There's not much to say about this kind of person. ”

"Poof, hahahahahahahaha......"

Qiu Miao let out a hearty laugh.

To everyone's ears, this laughter was so harsh and so inexplicable.

"What's so ridiculous? Could it be that you didn't expect him to shoot. ”

Tao Zuo said this, the corners of his mouth hooked up with the same mocking smile.

He was the most qualified of all to say that he knew whether Jiang Shuo would do such a thing.

"Ah, that's not the case...... But, it's really interesting. You know that everyone is so vicious, and you can put your own life on the line, and now you are actually worried about the safety of others, and even feel the death of others...... Don't you think it's ironic? You are the real hypocrites. ”

Every word is like an accusation.

Another thunderclap.

However, Nan Xuan has obviously ...... That's right. Changsheng felt strange. But she soon discovered that it wasn't thunder.

It was gunshots.

However, between Qiu Miao's index and middle fingers, he easily caught the bullet.

"Why don't you kids have a long memory? As I said, I can control the rate of time. ”

Changsheng lowered his head, bit his lower lip, and looked at Nan Xuan's increasingly stiff body, a strong sense of despair infected her heart. She was silent, trembling slightly, burying her face heavily.

Until the moment she raised her face, she suddenly noticed that Gu Qiancheng, who was kneeling beside them, had a very complicated expression.

She couldn't tell what it was. But, something is about to happen.

It was an extremely unlikely event. However, as the clock ticks by, this probability is slowly increasing – at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
