Chapter 30: Roulette (Part II)
When Zhang Hui saw that I had drunk the wine, he threw the note in his hand in front of me, looked at the watch on his left wrist, and began to time.
I quickly unfolded the note, about the palm of my hand, but it was blank, there was no text on the paper at all, not even a trace of extra folds.
However, the blood jade on my chest suddenly warmed up slightly when my fingers touched the note!
My heart moved, but I spread out the note in my hand and threw it heavily on the table, making a look of annoyance and anger:
"This is what you call a message? It's just a blank sheet of paper, not a single word. β
Zhang Hui didn't raise his head, and sneered: "You look like a blank piece of paper, but maybe you wrote with invisible ink or something, you can try it - anyway, the note is in my hand, and I have handed it over to you as it is." β
I complained a few words with some indignation, something like "I almost drank poisoned wine for a blank piece of paper", and quickly put the note away and put it in my pocket.
My eyes kept on to Lily sitting across from meβher eyes opened slightly as my fingers touched the note, staring at me at an eerie angle, but I was moving fast enough to put it away before she could notice the presence of the blood jade on my chest.
As soon as my fingers left the note, Xiaoli finally lowered her eyelids again, and I couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the heart I was carrying.
The blood jade on my chest seems to have a special attraction for these living corpses, once Xiaoli confirms the existence of the blood jade on my chest, it is hard to say whether she will be like Liu Yan before, turning into a monster and going to devour me alive with the blood jade.
Although I am very sympathetic to Xiaoli's plight, all the overflow of sympathy is based on a sense of superiority compared to the two - very simple, if you can't eat enough yourself and are about to starve to death, will you sympathize with those who ask for food on the street? Shouldn't those beggars sympathize with you in reverse?!
People are the most reluctant to look upward, because "I don't have it", but they often unconsciously compare downwards because "he doesn't".
When you feel the pain of life, the phrase "more than the bottom" is the greatest comfort, which can anesthetize people's minds and make people feel lucky in the humble room - at least I still have a place to shelter, and some people have to sleep in the open air!
I'm not a saint, and I'm not exempt from vulgarity.
If Xiaoli pounces on me now, I will definitely not hesitate to hammer her head!
It's not like I haven't encountered a female ghost or something, you're beautiful and cute, you have a poor background, and you've suffered misery, but this is not a reason why you can take revenge on society casually, and you have to follow the Basic Law when you are a female ghost.
"Luckily, we were able to continue the game." Zhang Hui finally looked away from his watch.
Then he asked Six Fingers, "What about you, do you remember anything?" β
Six-fingered eyes subconsciously looked at the five glasses of wine left on the table, "It's not time, it's not up yet, right?" β
His body was crawling with black and gold ring bees, and he didn't dare to move, and he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Zhang Hui frowned and said, "I changed my mind." Give me a name within five seconds, or else choose a glass of wine. β
Hearing this, sweat suddenly trickled down Sixfinger's face.
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
Six Fingers had to choose and risk his life again.
Sixfinger's eyes widened, his breath became rapid, and his hand stopped in mid-air, hesitating.
"Quick pick." Zhang Hui tapped the table with the bytes of his fingers.
I can only pray in my heart that Six Fingers will never choose the glass of wine I took at the beginning, because that cup is poisoned wine.
However, in order to prevent Zhang Hui from becoming suspicious, I can't make a loud reminder.
It's a pity that the six-fingered hand actually reached directly to the cup of poisonous wine-
But at the last moment, he hesitated again for a moment, and then, as if blessed to his soul, he picked up a glass of wine next door.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Zhang Hui just glanced at his watch, then raised it and said to me: "Okay, now it's your turn again, you should also think about the next question, right?" β
"Won't you choose a drink?"
"I'll only have one last drink - from now on, you and him will take turns drinking, and I'll just have the last one left. If you're lucky, the last cup of poisoned wine is mine. β
I shrugged: "Okay, your territory is up to you." β
"Just ask." Zhang Hui said.
I am already thinking about the authenticity of this so-called "gamble" in my heart, and I am at least seventy percent sure that Zhang Hui must have cheated!
"The punishment of wild gambling" was specially designed by Zhang Hui to deal with Huanggang (that is, the six fingers), he could not play an absolutely fair game with him, just like Huanggang set up a game to deceive him, according to his revenge psychology, he will definitely adopt the method of treating others in the way of others.
When I picked up the cup of poisonous wine just now, Zhang Hui didn't have any special reaction, which shows that Zhang Hui may really not know that the glass was the real poisonous wine - when he started the gambling game, in order to show fairness, he probably also asked Huang Gang to mess up the position of the wine glass.
However, Zhang Hui must have the chips that Huang Gang and I don't have.
Just now, taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Hui and Huang Gang to talk, I carefully observed the wine glass selected by Zhang Hui, and sure enough, I found that there was a very small bubble at the bottom of the glass, which was caused by the fact that when the wine glass was produced, there was a fine air entering the melted glass, while the other wine glasses had no bubbles in the same position.
This is probably Zhang Hui's winning chip.
The reason why he wants to drink a glass of wine himself is just to show us his "fairness", so that we, especially Huang Gang, have the illusion that we are really betting with him, but in fact, Zhang Hui has already written down the characteristics of a glass of non-toxic wine in advance, and he has made a choice easily, and will not drink a second glass of wine.
Even if a miracle happens in the end, Huang Gang and I have been drinking non-toxic wine, and leaving the last cup of poisonous wine for him, Zhang Hui will not drink it.
He was just setting up a game in the first place.
Those who invite you into the urn will not be stupid enough to enter it.
This is how Zhang Hui takes revenge on Huang Gang - giving you an illusion and constantly reinforcing this illusion, making you always think that you still have a glimmer of hope of winning, but in the end, Zhang Hui will ruthlessly shatter all of Huang Gang's illusions, making him experience the same pain and despair.
Under Zhang Hui's gaze, I stretched out a finger and pointed to Xiaoli, who was sitting opposite me, and asked my second question:
"How did she maintain her resurrection state?"
