Chapter XXIV
This card...
Yes 10...
His current cards are 2, 3, 8, 10.
Then that adds up, that's 23.
It's already past the allotted 21 o'clock ...
The cub was a little overwhelmed at this time, and he didn't know what to do.
His deck of cards was also seen by the audience in the live broadcast room, who praised him as the living god of gambling.
Then I swiped a wave of gifts to pay for this live broadcast.
In their opinion, this was intentional by the streamer.
But where is the whole work!
The cub always wanted to cry without tears, and he never thought that the card he called would be a 10.
Straight from 13 to 23!
Fail on the spot!
Then the result of the failure is ...
The cub swallowed and looked at his opponent.
Hoffman, after hesitating for a moment, gave an answer that made him even more chilled.
[I don't want to play anymore...]
"Grass!"
The cub scolded a lot, and saw the option of whether to ask for a card appeared in front of him.
"It's over!"
"I want a ghost! It's all bustling! This one has already lost! ”
He immediately chose 2.
[I don't want a card.] ]
The cub is ready to cut off his fingers.
It's just a game anyway, no big deal.
It's not me who gets hurt, I'm just a gamer.
Cut off someone's finger and my.
The cub always thought so in his heart, and then waited for the result.
Soon, because no one on the stage was bidding, it was time for the results to be announced.
The masked man's voice rang out from the speaker at the right time.
[Alright, two gentlemen, now the results are made public.] ]
[The winner is...]
The masked man stopped abruptly, and his surroundings became dead and silent for a moment.
Mr. Cub's heart suddenly jumped inexplicably, and a strange feeling of depression came from all around, making him a little uncomfortable and a little nervous.
Hoffman, on the other side, was also constantly gasping at this time, adding a touch of uneasiness to this oppressive environment.
Because it was too real, the cub was brought in as if he was there.
For a second...
Two seconds...
At this moment, the masked man's voice rang out like a hellish judgment.
[... Hoffman! ]
The hole cards on the table were immediately revealed.
The cub always saw the number of cards on the opposite side at a glance.
7、1、9。
Summing up, 17 points.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hoffman's body was weak, as if he thought he would not die.
But on his side...
It's different.
The masked man's voice suddenly became low, eerie, and fierce at this moment.
[Now, the loser pays the bet...]
Then, the cub saw that the guillotine on the little finger seemed to have been activated by something, and began to shake violently.
And Clancy, the protagonist he controls, also became flustered at this time, and his tone was hurried.
[What!? Wait a minute!! Wait a minute!! ]
But the sharp, cold guillotine didn't give him any chance.
Under the traction of the mechanism, the violently shaking blade was cut in an instant at a speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye!
Whoop –
Blood splattered.
The sleeves were stained and sprinkled all around.
The severed little finger was bounced onto the table and then fell to the floor.
Clancy's heart-rending screams followed.
[Ahh——!!!hh Ahh——!!!hhh ]
Seeing this scene, everyone in the cub was stupid!
His two handles were vibrating wildly.
There were also blood stains in front of him, and bursts of scarlet that blurred his vision.
He saw that Clancy, the protagonist he controlled, bent down in pain, his painful hands twitched, and his eyes were scarlet and blurry.
For some reason, the cub obviously didn't feel anything, but under the VR experience, the vague scarlet in front of his eyes was as if a nerve sense in his brain had been stimulated, which had a slight effect.
In this visual expression, he unconsciously thought of the torture and pain that Clancy was subjected to.
Imagine the pain of fingers connecting to your heart and cutting your nerves!
So much so that he couldn't help but tremble.
[Oh, this must hurt.] ]
The masked man's voice rang out at an inopportune time, with obvious schadenfreude in his tone.
It also made Clancy roar in pain.
[Ahh You lunatic! Why do you want to do this!! ]
The cub was pulled back to reality by these two voices at this time.
His gaze was on the severed finger, where the flesh was blurred and shocking, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.
To be reasonable, the enemies he killed in the game are estimated to circle the blue star.
At the same time, he has also experienced all kinds of fancy deaths in the game, and he has long been used to it, and even feels bored.
But that's all through the computer screen.
So no matter what, there is no disgusting feeling of killing and no fear of death.
Now, in this VR game that is so realistic that it is the same as reality, the indifferent mentality that used to be on the computer is no longer there.
VR's powerful first-person experience and pain expression techniques allow him to experience the unbearable pain just by looking at it.
How real!
This game is already better than that of foreign manufacturers!
At this time, this bloody scene also made the audience in the live broadcast room comment one after another.
", it hurts!"
"It's... Play so big...? ”
"Brother cub is so miserable, he came up and sent a blood."
"This game is purely about luck, huh? Then there's no skill to speak of. ”
"That's right, random card drawing, whoever has the best card wins."
"If you cut off someone's fingers, even if you get out alive, what's the use..."
"I suddenly don't dare to play this game anymore..."
"It's okay, it's just a broken finger, I think I can accept it."
As more and more people commented, Cub always refocused on the game.
At this moment, the masked man's voice sounded from the speaker with an excited smirk.
[Hahaha!] A great game, right? ]
[But that doesn't seem interesting, you think so, right?] So...]
As soon as he finished speaking, the guillotine, which had four fingers left, flicked up violently.
directly stunned the cub.
"Damn, is this going to cut it all at once?"
Then he looked at Hoffman on the other side.
At this time, when the hooded man saw that all the guillotines were up, he was already frightened that the six gods were gone.
His severed finger torture instrument also included the little finger one.
This means that if Hoffman loses, he will cut off all his fingers at once!
[Second game, start!] ]
The masked man's voice rang out mercilessly.
The dealer machine immediately dealt cards to the two people.
It's still one hole card and one face card per person.
This time, the cub's total hole card is 1 and the face card is 6.
That adds up, that's 7 points.
Hoffman's hole card on the opposite side is not known, but the face card is a 9.
So...
He is still some distance away from 21 o'clock, and the chance to increase the number is still relatively large!
The cub always chose to ask for another card.
[Give me again... A card...]
At this time, Clancy, because of the great pain, no longer spoke as fluently and neatly as before.
This also made the cub always feel the professionalism and dedication of the voice actors.
Soon, the dealer dealt a card to the surface.
The numbers are... 11!
His points have come to 18 points!
Hoffman, on the other side, also opened his mouth to bid at this time.
[I'm going to too... One card. ]
Brush –
An open card came to him, a 4.
Then Hoffman's point is 13 plus unknown hole cards.
Seeing this, the cub always began to think.
Now, the cards on the field are 1, 4, 6, 9, 11 and an unknown number.
In addition to this unknown hole card, there are six cards in the deck: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10.
At this time, the cub's total number of points is already 18, and it is still 3 points away from 21 points.
In the case of a rebid, only 2 and 3 will work for him.
But these two cards have too little chance of being drawn compared to the other four cards!
And it can't be ruled out that Hoffman's hole card could be a 2 or 3.
Therefore, the odds of getting a 2 or 3 have to be lowered again.
So the risk of bidding is just too great to be worth it.
Thinking of this, the cub always chose not to bid.
[I... Don't play anymore...]
Clancy said weakly, his voice worrying the cub.
And Hoffman, on the other side, after staring at the cards and thinking for a while, also chose not to play cards.
The masked man's voice rang out immediately.
[The results are now public.] ]
[The winner is...]
After a two-second pause, he burst out with an eerie smile.
[... Clancy! ]
Suddenly, all the hole cards on the table were revealed.
Hoffman's cards are 9, 4, 3 for a total of 16 points.
When the cub saw his hole cards, he was afraid.
The hole card of the hood man is actually 3!
Fortunately!
Thankfully, he didn't bid!
Otherwise, this time, it will be him who loses again!
At this point, Hoffman, seeing that he had lost, began to struggle frantically to get rid of the torture device that imprisoned him in his left hand.
At the same time, he was also wailing for mercy, and his voice revealed a very clear fear.
[Don't...!] No...!! What did I do!? What did I do!? Why do this to me!? What the hell did I do!? ]
However, in response to him, it was only a merciless cut.
The guillotine sliced off in an instant, and all five of Hoffman's fingers were severed.
[Ahhhh——!!!h ]
The screams were incessant, and you could even feel the pain he suffered.
And the screams were accompanied by splattered blood.
This piece of scarlet filth was everywhere, and even the cub always had a few drops on his face.
Soon, Hoffman's voice faded into silence.
His body began to go limp, as if he had lost his strength.
Finally, in the wide eyes of the cub, he fell headlong on the table.
It's over...
The environment became dead and silent again.
Until Clancy spoke.
[He's dead... I can... Left...? ]
The cub clearly hears the main character, Clancy, gasping for breath, and seems to be terrified of this homicidal maniac.
And the masked man smiled when he heard this.
[Hmm... In that case, then...]
[No... I can't lose... I want to go home... I'm going to... See my daughter...]
The cub was stunned, and so did the audience in the live broadcast room.
In front of them, Hoffman, who had five fingers cut off, struggled to prop himself up with his right hand, which was the only one he could move.
His voice became so weak that even with a hood, you could imagine the paleness of his face.
[I'm going to... Family... I'm home... Sole... People with income... Home... No... Without me... Daughter... No... Without me...]
Soon, Hoffman sat back down and gasped for breath.
[Again...] Inning...! ]
The cub was shocked.
What a man this is!
For the sake of the family, drag half a life to go!
What a good example!
Not only him, but even Clancy, the protagonist he controls, is also shocked.
[Are you in... Are you kidding...!? ]
But the masked man shouted as if he had no conscience.
[Yo ho!] You're a surprise, Hoffman! ]
After a pause, he continued.
[Since you like to play games so much, for your sake, I can't refuse.] ]
[In order to make our next game more exciting and fun, I would like to invite a good friend to appear.] ]
Suddenly, all light sources went out in an instant.
The surroundings became invisible to the fingers.
The cub can always be said to see nothing.
But fortunately, the darkness didn't last long, and the light source of the TV soon came back on.
But this time, there was something that slowly descended and came in front of the two of them.
And the moment he saw this thing, the cub was dumbfounded, as a player, he felt a sincere fear of the next game of the game.
Because this is a soldered kitchen knife with dozens of ... Irregular round chainsaw!
Its height is just right for their faces!
