Xu Wen knew that he could only win.

His coin was already under the palm of his hand, and he opened it for a look, followed by the flipping of the back of his hand that had never been absent from these rounds. After removing the deliberate small movements on the shoulders, the whole set of movements was finally completely integrated, and there were no flaws that could be exploited.

In Xiang Nanxing's eyes, Nangong Qian's signal also came at this time.

"Human head".

Although I have seen a series of changes in this side from the camera, I know that the situation is different from the plan, and the signal may not be useful. But Nangong Qian still faithfully fulfilled her duties from a distance, which was the only thing she could do.

She believes that even a small discard can be the key to a reversal in the right hands. Xiang Nanxing hadn't given up yet, so neither did she.

"Thank you." Xiang Nanxing whispered and thanked the girl in the distance. At this moment, such information was no longer enough to interfere with his decision in advance, but he really received this encouragement.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Wen's eyes without hesitation, looking at those dark eyes like an abyss. He's been doing the same thing since just now, and that's observing, observing. There are no flaws in the other party's body movements, and if you really want to find a breakthrough, it can only appear at the spiritual level.

Xiang Nanxing kept watching. With an unprecedented level of concentration, he felt as if he had dived into the darkness for a moment. When you stare into the abyss from afar, the abyss stares back at you - he suddenly thought of this sentence. Yes, he knew that just as he was trying to peep at Xu Wen, the other party was also looking at him.

He always knew.

"Text." Xu Wen said.

His eyes did not flicker, and all his emotions were swallowed up in that bottomless abyss. Qiu Banxia on the side was also observing, she was a bystander, and she should be the unguarded party, but even she couldn't see through Xu Wen's mind at this time.

Invulnerable, she thought to herself. In this case, it is simply an impossible task for Xiang Nanxing to see the opponent's hole cards. While thinking, she turned her head to see the situation on Xiang Nanxing's side. She thought that maybe she would finally see a trace of frustration on the other party's face, but when she saw Xiang Nanxing, her face suddenly changed.

He's laughing!

Qiu Banxia only thought that he had seen it wrong at first, but now the smile on the corner of Xiang Nanxing's mouth is becoming more and more obvious, and a pair of eyes are also slightly narrowed, with a little sly and triumphant look.

Is this a win? Or do you feel that there is no shame in losing in the face of a host who is bent on winning? Calm? Autumn and summer only felt chaos in my heart for a while.

Also trembling in his heart was Xu Wen, who had already become a bamboo in his chest. He's done everything, victory is just around the corner, and the next thing is to be patient and wait for things to happen. He originally thought so, but the moment he met Xiang Nanxing's gaze, even though he was in a state of completely concealing his emotions, his pupils still couldn't control it, and suddenly contracted!

It's bright yellow. A new color burst out of the black ashes in an instant. It's not a fiery red or a quiet blue, but a color that is as hopeful as the morning sun. At the last moment of this duel, Xu Wen finally saw what he had been longing for to see.

"It's so beautiful." He narrowed his eyes and said intoxicatedly.

His spirit was drunk, but his body was not idle. At this moment, he finally realized the great crisis he was facing. Xiang Nanxing's firm thought was to cover it up - it was enough to understand this, he knew that there was a huge flaw in his thoughts, and Xiang Nanxing aimed at this point and launched a sniper.

There is still a chance, I noticed it in time, and there is still time. He comforted himself.

The back of his hand began to slowly arch up, standing up with the coin, this small action took him less than half a second, with his skill, as long as a second, when the back of the hand was fully arched and stretched again, he could flip over the coin, change the current predicament, and bring the battle back into his control.

At this time, Xiang Nanxing spoke.

"I doubt it." He finished the sentence as fast as he could.

The action stopped, time stood still, and everyone's heartbeat seemed to freeze with it. The sentence that Xiang Nanxing just said would determine the outcome of this game, and it was even possible to write down the end of this duel directly, but he actually said it so lightly, without even the slightest hesitation.

Shen Lingshuang held her breath and slowly turned her head to look at Xu Wen's face. At this moment, the other party's reaction was the best verdict, and even Qiu Banxia made the same action as her.

After waiting for a few seconds, Xu Wen finally reacted.

"Yours." Xu Wen said.

He smiled bitterly, the muscles of his palm relaxed, and the back of his left hand, which was under him, felt the touch of the coin pattern again. Just give him half a second more, he thought. The coin that had just been almost erected was almost flipped over, and he had time to make up for the mistake he had made in the light of his opponent, but in the end, it was only half a second.

Xiang Nanxing didn't give him such a chance after all.

"After the compliment, I still want to ask more." He said, "Why did you choose that?" ”

This question was asked before the answer was confirmed, and Xiang Nanxing could not answer it at all, and then urged him to announce the answer quickly to avoid long nights and dreams. But he still chose to answer. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a somewhat inexplicable sentence.

"I remember you said to me at the end of the seventh inning, 'There are still eight innings,'" he said. In other words, this game just now is the time when you have to decide the winner in the predetermined situation. ”

Xu Wen was silent and motioned to continue. On the contrary, Shen Lingshuang on the side suddenly looked cold. She interjected and asked directly, "Could it be that the sixteenth game is actually uncertain for him?" ”

"No, the sixteenth game was almost guaranteed to be won, as he himself said, and he believed in the result." Xiang Nanxing turned his head and smiled at her, "But since he himself said that, he must solve it within the limited number of rounds, which is related to the dignity of a host." And in this game, for a host who absolutely can't lose, the plan of betting on luck with me is obviously unacceptable, and he needs to win. ”

"But this game is up to you to guess, what is he ...... Yes! ”

Shen Lingshuang suddenly opened her mouth wide when she was halfway through speaking. And before she asked this stupid question, Qiu Banxia had already glanced at Xiang Nanxing deeply, and the expression on her face was unprecedentedly serious.

She could guess what Xiang Nanxing had done, but ...... Is this something that ordinary people can do temporarily?

"For a person who has the confidence to see through the other party, even if it is his own initiative, there is a way to win. He has a knack for flipping, so he can observe the pattern I have chosen, and then, according to my ideas, in turn, decide on the pattern of the coin. Xiang Nanxing explained, "Of course, there is another situation, that is, I choose directly between trust and doubt, but this will not bring any change, because to put it bluntly, this is just another 'either-or' game." He saw my choice and used it to decide whether to flip the coin and how to choose the manifesto. I knew he would do it because the dignity of the host made it necessary for him to choose the way to ensure that he would win. ”

"And in fact, he almost won until ......"

"Until he finally found out that these things were fake." Xu Wen lightly picked up the second half of the sentence.

"You reveal to me the answer you want to choose with your body and demeanor, and then forcibly overturn it at the last minute and choose another answer." Xu Wen nodded, "It seems easy to put this matter on your lips, but anyone who has actually tried it knows how difficult it is." In particular, the target of deception is me, even if there is a reason for my contempt, it is still not simple. ”

"You've been calm all the way, and I can't find a flaw in any case. But for some reason, I suddenly felt that in the last round you would make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and easily accept the self-abandonment that I exposed. Xiang Nanxing smiled, "I just thought, it's time for you to look down on me, because your expectations of me end here." ”

Xu Wen looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to look deeper into the other party's soul from those smiling eyes. However, his vision was full of colors that were too bright for him to see. The resilience that did not give up until the end, the rationality that was still observing and thinking until the end, and the intuition and optimism that seemed to be the magic of the heart, maybe all these things were put together to dye such a beautiful color as I saw at this time.

"It's an interesting matchup." Xu Wen smiled.

He flicked his fingers, and the coin spun and flew into the air, taking everyone's eyes away.

A few minutes later, in another part of the woods, a pair of slender white hands were gently draped over Xu Wen's shoulders in a wide black suit. "Sir, you've done a great job." The man said softly.

She straightened the hem of her suit and covered Xu Wen's upper body in it. This is already trying to look good, but in reality, he still looks like a guy who accidentally wears ill-fitting clothes, which is a bit funny.

But the scene itself is not funny. At the same time as putting on the suit, the "player" Xu Wen disappeared, and it was replaced by the host who ranked fourth, "Abyss" Xu Wen.

In the elite group of hosts, he is already located close to the top of the pyramid. However, at this time, the super-first-class host was silent, looking like he had not yet come out of his recollections.

The suitcase at his feet was empty, and it had been full of chips that had been given to the young man who had won the game. With those chips, he could attend the White Night Festival as he wished, and he might encounter him again there.

"Sir, I can't figure it out."

Putting on a suit for him was the twenty-ninth host "White Dove" Mingliu. At this time, she looked at the senior who had been following with a puzzled look, and asked: "Although I lost that game, I am still far from deciding the winner after settling the chips, and you will definitely win the next game, right?" But why would you do that? ”

What she was referring to was naturally Xu Wen's last move. At that time, she was also watching the battle from a distance, and she witnessed the scene when Xu Wen threw the coin and announced his abstention. The fifteenth game is over, so he gave up not a single game, but the entire "trust game", and lost not only the part of the chips he had just won, but all the 10,000 chips he had invested in the game as his stake. And is this necessary?

Just like Naruyu said, just losing a game is not a winner. He could have turned the tide in the next game.

Xu Wen shook his head. "Naruyanagi, do you think I can win?" He asked rhetorically.

"Isn't it?" Naruyanagi said, "In the sixteenth game, it was up to the gentleman to guess his pattern, and with all his might, I don't think anyone could deceive you with a disguise." It's a fun trick, but it's only useful if you're underestimating your enemy. ”

"Naruyanagi, you're wrong." Xu Wen shook his head.

"I still don't think he'll stand a chance in the next game."

"No, it's not where you're wrong."

Looking at Xu Wen's eyes, Ming Liu suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence. Willing to gamble and lose, the host and the average player are not carrying the same weight. This is even more true for Xu Wen. Just like Xiang Nanxing can see, he can't lose, this is his dignity as a host.

Not even a game, because in that game, he really wanted to win.

"Naruyanagi, you have to remember that the victory or defeat of the host is not defined by the victory or defeat between players. I lost that game, and what I lost was actually a head-to-head matchup. Even if it's careless, but the result is in front of you, I think. Xu Wen said.

Although it was only one game, it was only one of more than a dozen games, and it can even be said that the only time Xiang Nanxing really flashed was the moment when he said the declaration.

But in that moment, the man did surpass him.

He remembered the last thing he said to Xiang Nanxing after abstaining from voting.

"The game of staking chips is boring. Meet next time on a better battlefield. He stared into the other's eyes.

"Next time, bet each other's lives."

When the last few words poured out of his mouth, it was as if the passion hidden in his chest was also oxygenated, and it burned brightly. His heart, which had been eroded by boredom for a long time, beat violently again, and it seemed that a fire had been rekindled in the abyss of his spirit.

originally thought it was just a small task arranged by the old man to pass the time, but it ushered in an unexpected ending at the last moment. Whether or not this fell into the old man's expectation again, but this mood will not deceive.

He wanted to do it again, he wanted to fight someone like this again. This time, he had to give it his all from the start. If the old man's aim was to force him to the best of his ability, the plan undoubtedly succeeded more than expected.

See you at the White Night Festival. He said in his heart.
