The tall and thin man picked up the leftmost card and flipped it over, he just glanced at the card as if he was deeply intrigued, his breathing became more and more rapid, from holding the card with one hand to holding it with both hands, and pasting the card to his face as if he wanted to stuff it into his own eyes.

Immediately after, a red rash protruded on his arm, and the rash grew more and more, rapidly spreading to his chest.

"Ah!!h

His eyes widened, and he let out a terrible roar, throwing away the card with both hands and covering his ears.

Martin saw the green jellyfish on his head as if he had seen a predator, and his long tentacles instantly pulled out of the man's cochlea, and he desperately stirred up the germ layer as if fleeing for his life, but it quickly rotted into the air after leaving the man's body.

In the man's cochlea, dark red worms scrambled past his fingers and crawled out.

Then, on his bare arms, neck, and face, there were worm-like marks protruding under his skin, and then countless openings cracked, and those worms broke through the gaps, and fell to the ground into pools of foul-smelling blood.

He screamed and struggled, and finally collapsed in a pool of blood.

And the card, after he threw it down, coincidentally fell again on the table where it had been, and it was still face up, as if it had never been picked up.

Martin witnessed everything that happened to the man in its entirety.

"This card is so horrible... Just look at the front of it and it collapses... What did the [jellyfish] see..."

He quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

"Isn't this one... Hey, hey, hey... I see... That's one of the 12 Great Prophet cards... Hines certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to put it in the first place..."

"It's a good thing I have this [Flute of Temptation], and the puppet can have as many as he wants... Hahaha... You're all puppets... It's all puppets..."

The man in the flower coat in the distance let out a strange laugh, muttered illogical words to himself, and then played his flute again.

The flute sounded, and a second man stepped forward.

Martin looked at the pied piper standing in the distance and the three cards on the long table, and he had a plan in mind.

He shook his body, pretended to be drunk, and walked to the front of Juncker, who was just swaying in place like a walking corpse.

In this way, Martin stood between the Pied Piper and Juncker, but the Pied Piper was watching the second person who went to the flop intently, not paying attention to Martin's small movements.

The second man, a tall and muscular man, with tense muscles, walked slowly towards the long table.

He finally reached the edge of the long table, picked up the card in the middle, and flipped it over.

He stared at the card, his expression becoming hideous, and his hand holding the card trembled.

Then, the sockets of his eyes suddenly began to redden, and two flames burst into flames.

He screamed in pain, dropping his cards and covering his eyes, but his hands were also set on fire, and the flames ignited his head, spreading to his chest, his arms, his thighs, until his whole body was covered in flames.

And the jellyfish, before he could escape, was spread by the flames in his head, and burned invisibly into ashes in the air.

The man let out a terrible cry and rolled on the ground to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

He soon lost his life in the fire, and was gradually charred.

And the card was thrown back to its original position by him, as if it had never been picked up.

"Is it a coincidence that both cards are back where they are? Or is it the special thing about solitaire..."

Martin stopped himself as soon as he tried to habitually tap on his collarbone, and he was now a "puppet".

"Neither is this one... That must be the third one..."

"Just to be on the safe side..."

The piper in the distance muttered a few words, and then said to Juncker and Martin:

"You two, go and turn over the third card together."

Then the flute was played.

“...”

"If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered to change positions......"

Martin didn't expect the man to let the two of them go together, he could only learn from the pace of Juncker next to him, and walked a little faster than Junker to the long table.

When he arrived, he deliberately used his body to block the view of the piper in the distance, turned his back to him and pretended to turn over the cards.

He held up his empty left hand, bowed his head and pretended to look at the cards.

A brief silence followed.

Martin saw that Juncker was about to arrive at the long table, and said in a deep voice:

"I saw... Unexpectedly... That's it..."

As he finished speaking, the nose on his mask grew a little longer.

And where he couldn't see it, the corners of the mask's mouth turned up, and he smiled a little gloomily, and then returned to his original state.

And the piper, after listening to Martin's words, did not doubt it at all, but asked hurriedly:

"What? What do you see? ”

Martin didn't answer him, made a feint to drop his cards, and then stood still.

Then, he heard the man's hurried footsteps approaching, and he grabbed Juncker next to him and quietly backed away.

I saw the piper hurrying forward, not paying attention to Martin's small movements, and directly turned over the third card.

At the moment when he flipped over, Martin threw Juncker to the ground, and then snapped his fingers with his left hand, and a cluster of green flames instantly appeared on his fingertips.

The piper was cunning, and he deliberately walked to the exit of the tent away from the cards, presumably to facilitate his escape, but this was also far away from Martin.

At this distance, Martin's green flame was easy to dodge, so Martin used the mask's lie effect to lure the piper to the long table to close the distance.

It was also hoped that the third card would directly collapse the Pied Piper, and his green flame would deal with the controller behind it.

Martin once again shook off the murmur that lingered in his ear, and saw the pied piper tremble as he turned over the third card that was covered.

The jellyfish on his body slowly dispersed into mist and floated back to his body, and was all sucked under his skin.

Then, as if suddenly drained of consciousness, he fell to his knees, his head raised and staring into the air, his mouth wide open.

A sickening squirming sound came from his mouth, and his neck began to swell eerily from the bottom up, as if something had crept up his stomach pouch down his esophagus.

"Gollum.. Gollum..."

The thing reached the mouth of the piper, who unnaturally swelled his Adam's apple and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes and expressionlessness.

"Whew-"

A slime-filled claw protruded from his open mouth, followed by another, two outstretched claws stretching out to the left and right, the corners of his mouth torn to the base of his ear, and only the flesh and fascia were glued.

Beneath its claws, a slime-covered creature with no lower body emerges from the Piper's neck.

It looked like a rabbit that had been skinned, its features were as if it had just grown, its eyes and mouth were covered with cloudy slime, and it crawled out of the piper's mouth and fell to the ground.

It clumsily propped itself up with its two paws, the black iris at the eye socket opened, revealing a pair of golden vertical pupils.

The pupil turned from side to side, and finally locked onto Martin.

"Wow! Wow!"

It opened its mucus-cling mouth and began to cry out loud, crawling towards Martin with its two paws, leaving a trail of slime-laden trails in its wake.

It's like seeing a mother's baby.

Martin felt a pang of physical discomfort, and the moment he saw the baby coming, he raised his left hand lit with green flames, trying to wait for the monster to get closer.

Unexpectedly, the monster crawled a few times, and then fell to the ground weakly, and it stretched out a claw, desperately trying to reach Martin, but in the end it only scratched a few times in vain, and then froze.

Then, its collapsed body hissed and slowly decayed into a black smudge.

......

Martin stared at its decaying corpse and stood up a little distracted.

Juncker next to him, without the control of the piper, has fallen asleep.

But Martin was still immersed in the way the monster looked at him.

He felt a hint of familiarity in the monster's eyes full of pain, resentment, and even attachment.

It was as if the monster was the same kind as him.

He stood up and looked around a little dazedly.

Immediately afterward, he was shocked to find a card next to the body of the piper not far away.

From his point of view, the card was almost facing him, and when he found it, he had already seen the front of the card.

He closed his eyes for the first moment.

But the pattern on the card was still clearly mapped into his brain.

It's a bit like the [Alchemy Dog] and the [Hand of Glory] that Martin has seen before, but around the edge of it is a black frame, and the layout is very different from those two.

It depicts an old man in a magnificent robe, wearing a crown on his head, sitting on top of a golden chest, his right hand holding aloft a ball of fireworks of five colors, the light of which pours down from his fingertips like dragging a magnificent tail.

His left hand hung down from his waist, and in the palm of his hand, a shimmering tetrahedron was floating quietly.

The old man stared ahead, and the shadow he landed on the ground turned out to be in the shape of a giant dog!

In front of him, there was a round table surrounded by roses, and at the four corners of the round table were a spoon, a wine glass, a star coin, and a scepter.

In the center of the round table, a baby is staring out of the cards, a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

Martin saw that above the picture, there were also two large blood-colored letters, which were:

[Sage].
