Four o'clock in the morning, inside the captain of the Clover.

The bearded captain, who looked to be in his fifties, was standing in front of the window, his hands in his hands, looking out at the near-dark sea in the distance.

"You're done?" Suddenly, he broke the silence and said something to himself.

"That's it." With this response, the small white man who had been in contact with Gimenez before came out of the shadow behind the "captain", "The 'people who should be evacuated' have already left in small boats, and the helicopters and lifeboats on board are no longer usable, of course...... Put it or put it there, so as not to arouse suspicion. ”

"What about the guys who are following us on the sea?" The captain asked again.

"Heh......" said the little man, "is it necessary to take care of them?" When the operation begins, they can overturn their ship entirely. ”

"Hmm......," the captain muttered, taking off his hat, "then it's almost time for me to get ready." ”

As he spoke, the hair on his head, the facial features on his face, his skin, his flesh, and his facial bones...... They all began to squirm violently in a strange way, and gradually reorganized into the form of another person.

And that person turned out to be Ryunosuke Arai.

"Anyway...... No matter how many times I've seen your 'transformation', I still feel a little disgusting. The little man just looked at each other and said without hesitation.

When the man who changed his face heard this, he glanced at him: "You know, I have thought about it more than once...... Become a beautiful woman, pretend to meet you by chance, follow you home, and then suddenly become an ugly monster beyond your imagination when you look like a monkey and crush me under you...... If all goes well, you'll probably have to deal with psychiatrists and men's hospitals frequently for the rest of your life and lower body. ”

"Okay...... I'm scared of you, okay? I have a bad mouth, I apologize. The little man immediately confessed, he waved his hand, and continued, "Whether your original gender is male or female, I don't think I'm your cup of tea, if you want to do that kind of prank...... You go find Hanazuka, I'd love to see if he can still have that poker face when the stunning stunner is delivered to the door. ”

"You don't come to yin me." When the person who changes his face speaks, he has completed various details of his face, and then begins to change his figure; With a squirming of his torso, the buttons of the captain's suit on his upper body were broken, "Hanazuka is a man among men...... If you do that to him, he's going to do it regardless of my gender and appearance, and if I get fucked, I'll tell him it's your idea before I get fucked, and he'll come and kill you...... Twice. ”

"It's all 'dead', why can it still be two ......" The little man wanted to spit out, but as soon as the words came out, he stopped, "...... Ah, forget it, I don't want to ask, and you don't tell me. With that, he turned around and walked out of the cabin, "I'm going to prepare the host's speech, and you can practice your lines again." ”

…………

The words are divided into two ends, just as an undercurrent is quietly gathering momentum on the ship, the "fight" between Sakaki and Hopkins has also entered the final stage.

Because of a triple-full in the third game of the south, Ryunosuke's point stick jumped to the first place and became the first place, and won the bank.

But...... Sakaki is still ranked fourth, and the point bar has bottomed out. According to the rules, if one of the four loses all the points, then the half bank will end early and enter the settlement stage.

So, the next game is very important for Sakaki.

Even if he doesn't light a cannon, as long as someone other than him touches himself, his stick will run out; According to the current situation on the table, if they enter the settlement stage immediately, Hopkins and Eric will not lose too much even if they lose, which will be converted into points...... It's only about a dozen.

This...... Obviously not the result that Sakaki wants to see.

South three innings, two main games.

Ryunosuke's strong luck has eased somewhat, and his hand is good, but it is decent; Eric's hand was better than it had been at the beginning of the previous round, and Hopkins ...... Got a terrible starting hand.

The calm sneer of the Xingjun gambling king has completely disappeared from his face.

From his point of view, Sakaki must have been out of the last game, but he didn't see any clues; If Sakaki ignores his threats and repeats what he just did in this game, wouldn't Ryunosuke win another big hand?

Of course, even so, Hopkins has a way out; Because he can be sure...... He would never have lit a cannon for Ryunosuke, and Eric, under his secret instructions, would not do it either; In this way, Ryunosuke can only rely on self-draw to win, and once he draws himself, Sakaki will have to pay some sticks to make this semi-village end early.

That is to say, as long as they don't give Ryunosuke a shot in this game, even if Ryunosuke can still win, they can't continue to run the village, and this half-village will end here - the loss will not be too big.

However, at this moment, Hopkins did not know that this idea of "there is a way out" would become the beginning of some kind of change in the future.

Ninth Round, Hopkins, play three cords, draw.

After all, the gambling king is the gambling king, even if the starting hand is terrible, he still reorganized the river and mountains within ten rounds.

Unfortunately, Eric didn't have any cards in his hand to give him Hu, so they had to wait; However, looking at Ryunosuke, he still looked like he was quite far away from the draw, and they felt that they could afford to wait.

"Playing three so......" Sakaki looked at the cards played by Hopkins and smiled, "Huh...... In this case, I thought you would throw the eight cakes out......" he paused, "Are you afraid that if the eight cakes are lit, others will get the treasure card?" ”

"What's wrong with avoiding unnecessary risks?" Hopkins said coldly.

"The problem is...... Your style of play is too vain. "If you really have the confidence that 'you will never light a gun', this place should be a bastard, right?" And looking at the stand, Ryunosuke and I obviously haven't heard the cards yet, why didn't you riichi? Your hand...... After choosing to play three soo draws, is there any room for detours? ”

"Hmph...... I don't need someone at the bottom of the rankings to teach me how to play mahjong. Hopkins' response actually shows that he can't find any basis for rebuttal and can only pull something else.

"Even if you ask me, I won't teach you." Sakaki said as he played his cards, "Your pretentious style of play can neither put pressure on the opponent nor bring luck...... Seeing that you are also old, it is too late to guide again. ”

In between their words, there were two more rounds, with neither Hopkins nor Eric touching a valid card, and Sakaki ......

"Brother dealer, OPEN Riichi is recognized here, right?" He suddenly looked up again and asked the black suit next to him a question.

"Recognition, counting." The black suit's answer was also concise and to the point.

"Okay." After receiving the confirmation, Sakaki threw his last point stick at that time, "Riichi." Then he put the cards in his hand straight down, "Open cards." ”

"This kid ......" Hopkins's cold sweat came down like this, he looked at the other party's spread hand and said, "I know that I can't get Hu from us, so I just open the cards and wait for myself, anyway, losing more and losing less is a matter for him, and he is not afraid that he will light a gun; And...... He deliberately played the same cards as me, and told Eric that if he wanted to give me a beard, he would cut it off......

"In addition, his provocation with me must have been fake, and his real intention was to hint at Arai through his conversation with me, what cards I had heard; And Arai, who got the hint, will no longer play any dangerous cards. ”

Thinking of this, Hopkins let out a cold snort: "Huh...... You are a smart guy, even if you are very strong in momentum and calculation...... And how? As long as I draw before you do, or if Eric's side makes a draw, you're still going to lose. Using a less probable way to fight against my flexible and reasonable style of play is simply a desperate layman's doing. ”

Just as Hopkins was thinking, another round passed.

In the next round, the Sakaki who touched the card didn't even look at it, and turned the card over to the table and patted it: "Self-draw, the card is upright and a shot, and the door is clear and flat Hu three colors are the same as the same, and it is full." ”

"Wo...... Morality...... Fack? Hopkins cursed, took off his sunglasses and stepped forward to stare at the countertop, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

"I've said it all, you've run out of luck." Sakaki lit another cigarette and said indifferently, "Using the style of playing with gains and losses, and talking about the so-called probability...... How is it possible not to lose? He dusted off his cigarette ash, "You have to understand...... Talented and courageous, do a thorough calculation and preparation, but in the end, you will still lose...... This is mahjong, this is gambling. ”

"Goo......" Hopkins was speechless, and the pressure towered in front of him like a mountain.

At this moment, Sakaki's figure blurred in his eyes, and gradually turned into a chaotic shadow, reaching out and pushing him into a strange realm, an abyss that he had been avoiding for a long time.

…………

South Fourth Bureau.

Because of Sakaki's winning cards, Ryunosuke went to the village, but this last game, it was Sakaki himself who sat in the bank.

With the invention card Riichi as a turning point, Sakaki began to fight back.

At this time, fortune seems to have been guided into Sakaki's hands and is firmly held by him; It is like a ghostly and god-possessed style of play, and various actions that are unpredictable and cannot be explained by common sense have crushed the opponent in terms of momentum.

So, winning streaks, streaks, and ...... Started to get points directly from Hopkins and Eric.

Maybe Hopkins can guarantee that he will never let go of a person of Ryunosuke's level, but in front of Sakaki, he may not be able to do it.

Finally, after four consecutive times, a deck of big cards that have not been encountered in a hundred years and surpassed common sense...... came into Sakaki's hands.

At this time, Hopkins and Eric's points had been almost squeezed, and at this point in time, Sakaki once again stood upright, and the card was four dark and single.

This second invention of the card riichi completely destroyed the opponent's will and luck; Although they no longer have to worry about firing guns, Hopkins and Eric are also in a state of collapse, and they have not been able to draw a valid card for several consecutive rounds. And every time Sakaki touched the cards, the two of them were scared, as if they were going to scare half their lives.

In the end, Sakaki still won by drawing his own hand.

This half-bank ended with Hopkins and Eric both running out of points, and Ryunosuke took second place with more than 10,000 points left, and achieved nearly ninety percent of the points on the table...... Self is the first.

Because it is two-to-two, this result makes the settlement very simple. Sakaki and Ryunosuke got all the starting points, that is, 100,000 points, plus the reward points for the first and second places, for a total of 170,000; Hopkins and Eric's point stick is zero, and since they are both zero, there is no "third place", and the two are considered tied for fourth, and the final reward is also zero.

According to the ratio of 1000:1, Eric must hand over 170 points cards to Ryunosuke, and this ...... He has already exceeded the total number of points he has.

"This guest, about the part of the points that are insufficient......" After the settlement, the black suit saw that Eric was still short of more than two dozen points cards, so he wanted to ask Ryunosuke's opinion.

Ryunosuke immediately interrupted "very generously": "Forget it, forget it, everyone is an old classmate, I won't go around talking about it because you can't give it out; It's a little thing...... Just think that you owe me a personal favor, and I will have a chance to pay it back in the future. ”

He just put it down loudly in front of Eric, and the pleasure of mockery, which made the enemy unable to return the praise, was indescribably refreshing.

And Eric, he can only endure it......

The world of gambling is like this, if you win or lose, you can give you room to endure, which is polite.

In short, this mahjong game not only made all of Eric's efforts tonight come to naught, but also made him suffer a great humiliation; His anger must have been sprinkled on Hopkins.

When he walked out of the mahjong cabin, Eric directly turned his head and glared at the star-like gambling king of Xingjun, and said, "What are you still doing with me?" ”

Seeing that he said the word "roll" so implicitly, Hopkins was also very interested in not following him anymore, and went to a place where no one was blowing the wind alone.

…………

At 4:30 a.m., it was already close to sunrise.

Ryunosuke was already in the driver's seat, walking towards the banquet hall with Sakaki and Hanazuka - he was going to drink a few glasses of champagne in advance to celebrate, and take a break by the way.

"Don't we have to wait for Ah Xiu?" Halfway through, Sakaki was still asking Ryunosuke, "I saw him go out alone when I played in the south court before, why haven't you come back yet?" ”

"He said he was going to the bathroom." Hanazuka answered indifferently beside him.

"Haha...... I guess it's a bad stomach. Ryunosuke said, "Maybe I met a beautiful girl on the road and went on a date." ”

Ryunosuke is in a good mood now, he basically talks with no brains, and jokes come out of his mouth.

"Hmm...... All right. Although Sakaki didn't agree with Ryunosuke's casual speculation, he didn't think that Ashu was in any crisis; After all, Ah Xiu is just an entourage, and he is neither a gambling partner nor a full-time bodyguard, so there is no reason for others to attack him, "If he can't find us for a while, he will probably come to the banquet hall by himself." ”

So, the three of them continued towards the middle of the cruise ship.

Unexpectedly, just as they walked through a corridor where no one was around, they suddenly ...... Before Sakaki could react at all, he received a blow to the back of the neck, and a second later, his eyes were black and he lost consciousness.
