tirade

Just twenty-nine minutes after Liang Jingmo entered the venue, Chi Shangxuan pushed open the door and walked in.

His face flushed slightly, and his breathing became a little shorter, but his expression remained calm, as if it was another person who had just hurried to collect materials.

He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Liang Jingmo, inhaling deeply and exhaling, calming down his somewhat disordered breathing in just a few moments. "Let's get started." He spoke, his voice quiet, neither ostentatious and domineering, nor the slightest hint of passivity or retreat.

He just sat there, slowly pushing the contents of the basket to the place on the side of the instrument, his hand steady, not even showing a hint of emotion.

However, Liang Jingmo smiled.

No matter how good he was at hiding his emotions, controlling his expressions, movements, and even his tone, he had just said that sentence after all - this was a performance that had never been performed in the previous rounds.

"You're in a hurry." Liang Jingmo said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry to let this round of the duel start, even to the point of blurting it out." ”

Chi Shangxuan looked at him fixedly, and shook his head expressionlessly: "Joke." ”

"The rules and flow of this game are fixed." He said, "I entered the venue on time, and the matter of losing the time was already out of my mind. Next, submit the materials and drink the poison, these are all procedures defined in the rules, you and I just need to do it, what is there to worry about. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Liang Jingmo was showing an interested expression on the other side, as if he was looking at something interesting. This annoying guy looked at him with the corners of his mouth hooked up like this, and said word by word: "Since you are not in a hurry, why do you say so many words unusually?" ”

Chi Shangxuan's momentum was slightly suffocated. Although he wanted to fight back, he also knew that speaking again at this time would only become an argument for Liang Jingmo's words, so he had to choose silence to be golden. However, on the other side, Liang Jingmo still refused to let him go.

The guy even stood up, leaned most of his body on the table, poked his head out, and continued, "I know you're in a hurry, because you lack confidence in the next round. ”

"Because after all, this is the first time you've made a decision alone." He said triumphantly.

Chi Shangxuan's chest tightened suddenly. He subconsciously wanted to raise his head, but he stubbornly suppressed his impulse. He just sat there and listened to Liang Jingmo continue.

"Before that, you had precise instructions at every step, and all you had to do was play a moody role, which you were very good at, I must admit, so there was a time when I was deceived by you and thought I was fighting against a supermaster who knew everything but didn't divulge the slightest bit of information."

"Isn't it?" He asked himself. Then he shook his head.

"Of course not. Specifically, 'Chi Shangxuan', who played against me before, can always be regarded as a duo. One is responsible for playing this role in front of me, while the other tries to detect the material I have gathered, and then sends the information to you on the 'fence' side to collect the corresponding material. This plan was fully foreshadowed, and it was supposed to be a sure way to break my confidence, but unexpectedly, an unexpected situation happened during this period. ”

Liang Jingmo smiled: "I slept at the starting point and arrived half a day later than the scheduled time. ”

"If you are a normal gamer, this is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky thing, but for you it is tantamount to a problem. Because your plan was originally designed to be passively defensive, or at least equal on the other side, that is, you intended to suppress me in each round, destroying my fighting spirit step by step. However, because of this time advantage, this suppression became a matter of course and did not work as intended. ”

"What should I do?" He asked again, and then replied to himself, "Then try to give yourself a name for giving up your advantage." ”

"In the first two rounds, you can only follow the normal approach, everything is logical, observe my actions first and then look for the right moment. And then in the second round, you finally decided on a plan, which was to take the lead and take the initiative to relinquish the dominant position and turn yourself into the defensive side. Under the circumstances at that time, normal people would think that you were provoking, trying to prove that what I could do could be done like Chi Shangxuan, and it could be done better. In fact, once such a goal is achieved, it can indeed deal a big blow to the morale of the other side. ”

Liang Jingmo smiled: "It's a pity that in the fourth round, the intelligence side made a mistake and your defense failed." The guy in charge of the scouting had put the tracker on me beforehand, and I left the thing at a location he couldn't go to identify, which was completely different from the one I actually collected. He tried his best to make the most scientific response based on the plant reserves of that location, but the starting point was wrong, everything was wrong, and the more perfect his guess, the more serious the deviation in the final result. ”

"I think at that moment your plans for a make-shift change were shattered, and the result sowed the seeds of mistrust between the two men who had worked closely together. The first time that the information that was supposed to be accurate fails, even if you still have confidence in 'that person', you will inevitably be a little shaken at this time. ”

"To make matters worse, the connection between you doesn't happen in real time, and devices like wireless headphones can achieve real-time contact, but they can be discovered by the host in a split second. After all, because of the presence of this 'judge', that person did not dare to extend his tentacles into the venue. And that's the best soil for the seeds to thrive. ”

Liang Jingmo lowered his voice.

"Now you understand why I dragged it to the end of the last round and then came back so quickly in this round, right? The guy who has been tracking my whereabouts will find out about my trick before the last round is over, as he will find that I'm back in the arena and the tracker is still where it is, and will easily deduce that I've discovered the mechanism, and may even have a contingency in place. But how does he communicate this to you? At least meet again. And that's up to you. ”

"I'm guessing your meeting point should be near the 'fence'. If you are too close to the hut, you may be encountered by me, and the host of 'Judge' is here most of the time, and if you get too close, he may be detected, so you must find a point that is a little bit away, and it takes time to come and go back and forth, and my quick return has set the time limit for the whole operation to thirty minutes. If you choose to meet with him, you will have less time to complete other tasks, which may prevent you from gathering enough material to your liking. If you choose to collect materials, you will not be able to obtain this valuable information, and this choice is the problem I have in front of you. ”

Liang Jingmo sighed.

"But then again, that's possible. That is, you have prepared the materials that can be called nirvana in the morning, and you don't need to go out of your way to collect them. Or maybe the point that needs to be collected is close enough that I can come back after the meeting, and then I am almost in a situation where I am bound to lose. But I feel ......"

He smiled and spread his hands: "As the saying goes, the world has both laws, and it lives up to its promise." Life is a constant choice between two or the other, and I boldly guess that you should not take advantage of all the benefits, so you should take it as a gamble. Now it seems...... I still seem to have made the right bet? I guess, you chose to come on your own, right? ”

He smiled and slowly sat back in his seat, leaning back leisurely with his hands folded over his chest. At this moment, in front of him is a picture that was completely unimaginable before the game. Chi Shangxuan, who was known as a piece of iron, was blushing at this time, and his mouth was slightly open, revealing a frightened look as if he had seen a ghost.

The muscles of his face shook uncontrollably, his expression changed from horror to anger, and finally froze in a sneer, but he could never return to his original expressionless appearance.

"Say this kind of tirade...... And what's the use? ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly even when he said this, and although there was a stiff sneer on his face, his eyes couldn't help but wander.

"It's all your own speculation, yes, speculation, and it has nothing to do with the game. Breaking Bad, a game that tests the ability to find materials and match them, how could a bluffer like you pick something that is enough to win if I hadn't deliberately released water! ”

Liang Jingmo shrugged: "That's right, but I think you can try ......"

"That's enough."

A break interrupted his ensuing tirade. The host Danqing, the person who had been standing silently next to him just now, suddenly spoke at this time, stopping the argument between the two players. "That's enough, Liang Jingmo." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Liang Jingmo as if warning, "It's almost time." ”

Liang Jingmo blinked and spread his hands: "Yes, it's almost time." ”

The basket on his desk was already almost hidden in the shadow of the instrument's compartment, and he pushed his hand in a little more to make the entire basket fully fastened into the compartment. The instrument began to work, rumbling, taking in the basket he had pushed into, and began to concoct the finished product.

Opposite him, Chi Shangxuan's eyes were red, and he also put his own materials into the instrument. After just a few tens of seconds of operation of the machine, each of them had an extra glass of colorless and odorless liquid in their hands. It was a ferocious poison that could have been fatal, a short sword that they stabbed each other in the heart.

"Now, ask both players to drink the first cup of poison." Danqing announced.

Chi Shangxuan was still looking at the cup in front of him in a daze, but Liang Jingmo on the other side did not hesitate, picked up the cup and drank it up. Not only that, but after he finished drinking, he even threw the mouth of this cup downward Chi Shangxuan, and that gesture simply said, I have already drunk it, what about you?

"The collection time is my advantage, the exploration range is my advantage, no matter how lucky you are, there is always a limit."

Chi Shangxuan muttered to himself.

"Yes, you can't beat me."

He took a deep breath, picked up the cup, and poured the cool liquid down his throat. Under the high level of tension, he only felt that the glass was like cool water, all the way down the esophagus, and there was an indescribable comfortable feeling.

It's just that the more comfortable things are, the sharper the fangs are always hidden in the back.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waited for the moment of the toxicity to strike.
