The rules of double rhodes are simple.

Each player in a deck of poker draws twenty-one cards.

Cards like Texas Hold'em can be composed of various hand types, straights, flushes, pairs, and full houses.

One side moves first, and the cards continue to play strongly.

Whoever finishes first wins.

Ji Xun didn't know why Jia Yu was interested in playing poker.

But he also sat down and played with peace of mind.

At this moment, he also realized that it was probably not an accident that he came here.

And because it is interfered with by some mysterious force, it will inevitably come.

The leader of the Thirteen Knights wanted to see him.

"Right 6."

"Right 7."

“.”

Rhodes have a variety of combinations, and there is a high component of testing a player's playing skills.

So it's very entertaining.

The mushroom head's card skills are very powerful, and Ji Xun himself is not bad.

The two had a very leisurely time.

Looking at Ji Xun's expression, Jia Yu also knew that he was still struggling with the matter of holy water, so he said more: "Don't feel strange." I chose to give up holy water, not for any other reason. It's just that the success rate of the plan is higher just because of the performance. It turns out that without you, even if I could use the Holy Grail Water, the risk of failure this time would be even greater. ”

If the treasury of the ruins can't trap Count Nicholas.

If you drink holy water so many times, you can't get sleepy either.

As he spoke, an extremely relaxed smile appeared on his face, "Now it's the best result I can deduce." So, what else does it matter? ”

“.”

Ji Xun listened to these words, and suddenly realized.

In fact, as Jia Yu said, if there is no Ji Xun to solve the Scarlet Altar, if Nan Jing goes alone, there are many uncontrollable risks, and it is definitely not as efficient as the two of them to go together.

But at the same time, four words popped into his head: absolute sanity.

If this plan requires this mushroom head to die by himself in order to improve the chances of winning, Ji Xun thinks, then this guy will definitely do this without hesitation.

But Ji Xun still felt amazing, and asked directly: "You have long expected that I can help?" ”

Since he knew that the person in front of him was a light chaser, the words "no last resort" have become his stereotype of this guy.

It's not just him, even Gong Wu is commenting like this.

"Nope."

Jia Yu was also blunt.

He looked at Ji Xun and smiled, and corrected: "My ability is not 'prophecy'. It's not as magical as outsiders think. At most, it can be regarded as a deducer of the possible direction of some events. ”

“.”

Ji Xun knew that this was related to the ability of the other party's career sequence.

It's privacy, and I didn't ask about it.

But Jia Yu took the initiative to explain: "It's like playing cards, I can guess what cards you still have in your hand through the cards you play." But no matter how you deduce it, a deck of cards, the two of us took forty-two, and ten were hidden cards. After all, it's endless, and you have to gamble on luck. ”

“.”

Ji Xun smiled slightly when he listened.

This subtle layout is far from as simple as the mushroom head suggests.

If you really want to go into detail, you can't say a word or two.

But as soon as the result came out, he pushed it back backwards, and Ji Xun almost understood it.

He didn't dwell too much on the subject.

Instead, I'm more curious about something else.

Ji Xun asked: "I'm curious, who was the 'Jia Yu' I knew before?" ”

He had been curious about the spell that could resurrect the dead.

But I also know that this must be a very important top-secret method for the Light Chaser.

Even if the other party doesn't say it.

He didn't think anything of it.

didn't think about it as soon as he asked, but the mushroom head didn't care about telling the secret of 'Jia Yu', and said: "That's a 'perfect character' that I customized in the script with my professional ability." ”

Ji Xun listened and looked sideways, casting a puzzled look: "??? ”

Jia Yu explained in detail: "I need a perfect identity disguise to blend into the X game. But Bureau X is not an ordinary place, and it is very strict about identity checks. And the Count Nikolai, who has broken through the demigods. So. No matter how you disguise it in reality, there will inevitably be flaws. And the perfect character I need can only exist in the script. ”

After a breath of change, he continued: "Then I wrote a needed character in the script for this purpose: an outstanding graduate of the Federal Card Master College, a diligent and studious teenager, with an excellent memory, and a simple heart. It's the 'Jia Yu' you knew before. ”

Ji Xun was really surprised, and said in surprise: "The script is set up? ”

He had guessed all the possibilities before.

I thought that "Jia Yu" was the perfect camouflage performance and spell clone of the light chaser in front of him.

Or something else.

As a result, is it just a human design?

What do you mean?

Jia Yu also knew that this was not easy to digest, and responded: "Well, literally. He's a character in my script. ”

Looking at Ji Xun's even more confused eyes, he smiled and explained: "Oh, to be more precise, 'Jia Yu' is my projection in the world of the script. I put my understanding of the world into the characters in the script. It has a part of my cognition. So I am it, but it's not me. ”

Hear the words.

Ji Xun was about to play the card, but stopped in his hand: "'Jia Yu' is really a script character written?" ”

Ji Xun didn't expect to get an answer.

I didn't expect the other party to come out.

So, one of the abilities of the light chaser is to make the characters in the script "come alive"?

Hiss.

This ability sounds outrageous.

Creating life?

Isn't this a magical skill that only legendary gods can do?

Ji Xun looked at it with extremely strange eyes.

Jia Yu shook his head with a smile, as if he guessed what he thought, and corrected: "It's not as exaggerated as you think." It's just a 'spiritual' ability. My class sequence is the sixth-order class [Death Screenwriter] of the art path [Block 7: Bard]. Part of my ability is to write a good script and then give the characters a soul."

“.”

Hearing this, Ji Xun was stunned.

He didn't expect the Light Chaser to tell all about his abilities.

It's a top-secret that none of the best intelligence merchants have.

One of the legendary Federation's "Top 10 Unsolved Mysteries of Card Master Professions"!

But shock is shock, this ability is outrageous.

He made no secret of his doubts and asked, "Can the characters in the story also have souls?" ”

"yes."

Jia Yu smiled slightly, as if he expected him to have such a reaction, "If the story in a book is completely logical and self-consistent, the rules are perfect, and the rules are reasonable, then what is the difference between it and the real world?" Since it's the real world, why can't the characters in the story have souls? ”

“！！！”

Ji Xun listened as if he had been hit with a hammer in his mind, and fell into some kind of thinking about the world's cognition.

Yes, if the logic of the world in one is really perfect and self-consistent, then what is the difference between it and the real world?

The only difference is . Dimension?

For a moment, Ji Xun felt like he had seen the starry sky on a summer night.

Although out of reach, he saw the light and shadow projected from the depths of the universe.

Jia Yu also knew that his statement might be a little difficult to understand, and said: "Well, in other words, maybe it's not so difficult to understand." ”

After thinking about it, he gave an example: "For example. Extradimensional space. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ji Xun suddenly looked at him.

At this moment, he suddenly felt as if he could understand what the existence of the other-dimensional space was.

A completely logically self-consistent scripted world created by Cushman & Wakefield?

Hiss.

This guy's ability, so outrageous?

The more he learned about Jia Yu's ability, Ji Xun not only didn't feel that he had a clear understanding because of the puzzle.

On the contrary, it feels more and more mysterious.

No!

Whoever hears this will be shocked.

A mushroom head of K appeared on the opposite side, but at the moment he had a disapproving smile: "So 'Jia Yu' is my projection in the world of the script." I used exclusive relics and some means to embody reality. There's nothing wrong with you understanding me as a 'personality clone'. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ji Xun and said an intriguing sentence: "I think you should understand what I mean better than others." ”

“.”

Of course, Ji Xun can understand.

is like the group of personalities in his heart, which was split out, and then became a "Ji Xun" alone.

It's just that those personalities are in their hearts.

And Jia Yu really embodied the "Jia Yu" in the script in the real world.

No matter how you think about it, it feels outrageous.

In other words, this mushroom head can not only embody a "Jia Yu", but also embody thousands of characters in the script.

No wonder he was resurrected after dying several times before.

He is a screenwriter, and with a few random strokes, the characters in the script are resurrected.

"I see"

Ji Xun instinctively sighed in his heart.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had grasped something.

I had been unable to get started for several days before, and suddenly I had a little clue.

"Still. Why did this guy tell me so much detail? ”

Ji Xun suddenly couldn't understand it.

This guy has all the power he can do.

This is no longer idle talk.

It seems that he deliberately told him about the power of the Light Chaser.

Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun's shocked expression, and smiled modestly again: "My ability is actually not as mysterious as it seems. It's nothing more than the word 'deduction'. Deduce the direction of everything and make some interventions."

“.”

Ji Xun listened to this.

But I didn't take this ability seriously as "not mysterious".

He didn't continue to ask.

But the two were silent for a moment, but Jia Yu continued to delve into the topic.

He asked a question that would surprise anyone who heard: "'I am the world' is the Fifty-Two Demon God Forbidden Arts, and it is also my realm. Are you interested in finding out? ”

The tone was calm, as if he had said an inconsequential spell.

And not the top secret of the card master civilization.

“.”

The corners of Ji Xun's eyes twitched inexplicably.

There is a feeling that the gold bricks have fallen on the head and are smashed.

But some of the doubts became clear.

Hearing this, he vaguely guessed the other party's purpose.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Xun responded: "Of course." ”

Someone is willing to listen, Jia Yu's eyes skipped a touch of imperceptible relief.

"This starts with the word 'deduction'"

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Ji Xun, and said slowly: "We can regard the current state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of the future. If we have enough information and knowledge to confirm the current state and environment of a 'thing'. Then we will be able to analyze these data, and the laws of its development will inevitably follow certain formulas, that is, the 'rules of the universe'. From this, it is derived. Theoretically, nothing will be ambiguous, and the future will only appear to me as it has been."

Ji Xun's expression was still the same when he listened.

But the shock in my heart is higher than the wave.

These words allowed him to peek into the mystery of the laws of the universe.

After talking for a long time, Mushroom Head concluded: "I deduced everything that could happen, and theoretically speaking, I knew everything in the 'world as I knew it'. Therefore, it is impossible to lose. This is "I am the world". ”

“.”

Ji Xun understood.

No wonder this mushroom head is a last resort, it turns out that it is.

In his world, he is like a god, deducing and knowing.

It is no wonder that Gong Wuhui commented that if you want to win against the person who chases the light, you must be much stronger than him to have a chance of winning.

This kind of ability to calculate everything, unless the rank is crushed, it is impossible to win.

Saying that, Jia Yu seemed to blow up his weakness again, and said: "But this ability is limited by self-awareness. So the shortcomings are also obvious. If the opponent's cognition exceeds my cognition of the world, then the realm will be self-defeating. ”

“.”

Ji Xun glanced at him.

It's strange that I believe you.

It is impossible to expect card masters in the same level to know more than you.

If you really want to deal with it, Gong Wu said, the rank crushing is more realistic.

After speaking, Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun, who was slightly glazed, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Listen to this "I am the world" is very powerful, right?" ”

Ji Xun also said truthfully: "Of course." ”

He remembered that Caterina had said that everyone else had more or less targeted restraint in their field.

But only in this field is "unsolvable".

He listened to the principle, and instead of thinking that he could crack it, he had the same idea.

Jia Yu obviously didn't want to be praised and shrugged.

He still said in the same disapproving tone: "My ability is really nothing special, and it's not that magical. I'm not calculating everything, I'm just getting a glimpse of some laws of the universe. Just like playing poker, the combination of cards is the 'cosmic rule' of the poker game, where you know your opponent's cards and deduce them. ”

"Huh"

Ji Xun also knew why this guy invited him to play cards.

He looked at the points on the poker card in front of him, and felt different.

Countless numbers are jumbled around in your mind and then combined into various hand types.

It's like a law that has been reconciled.

You observe, but you think, and the law is always there.

In the treasure house of the Divine Ruins before, Qin Ru had actually reminded him that the rules of the universe were actually everywhere in life.

It's just that ordinary people can't see it.

It turns out that there are also cards in the game.

Just thinking about it, Jia Yu had already played the last hand: "Miscellaneous Xiaoshun 34567, you should have three K's left in your hand?" Hahaha, then this game, I won. ”

Ji Xun looked at the KKK big card in his hand that he couldn't get out of, and laughed at himself, "Well, I lost." ”

Jia Yu began to shuffle the cards, looked at Ji Xun, and said an intriguing sentence: "In this life, it is impossible to get a big card in your hand every time." Sometimes a small and inconspicuous hand can win a hand. In my script, 'Jia Yu' is a very inconspicuous character."

"Taught."

Ji Xun nodded seriously.

Thinking of something, he asked directly: "Mr. Jia Yu, are you entrusted by the palace seniors this time?" ”

It's not a parent.

The hypocrisy he had with the mushroom head before was not enough for the family to explain everything at the bottom of the box.

Seeing this, Ji Xun didn't understand that this person was making a special trip to guide himself.

"Partly yes."

Jia Yu didn't deny it.

HE SMILED CALMLY: "SENIOR PALACE SAID THAT YOUR SITUATION IS VERY SPECIAL, AND ANY KNOWN REALM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU, BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT MY LIGHT CHASER LINEAGE AND [JOKER] ABILITY HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. Just a few more words. ”

The domain is not something that is considered after the sixth order, but from the beginning of the advanced transcendental, all the abilities mastered are all bricks and stones that make up the realm.

That's the benefit of having seniors to guide you.

You'll be able to lay the foundation sooner.

Ji Xun listened, pondered for a moment, and only said, "Thank you." ”

The old man didn't seem to pay much attention to him, a disciple who had never admitted it.

But it's actually helping everywhere.

Whether it's the previous Master Merlin, or the Light Chaser in front of him.

Many legendary bigwigs chased after them to eat,

Ji Xun was really a little flattered.

However, his situation is indeed special, without the guidance of these seniors, he would really have to take too many detours.

It may not work out.

Ji Xun sighed in his heart.

However, unexpectedly, Jia Yu smiled and said, "Of course, there are my own reasons." ”

Ji Xun: "I want to hear about it." ”

In any case, this favor is owed.

Jia Yu dealt his cards and said in a very calm tone: "I may be going to die." The next time someone comes to you wearing the mask of the Light Chaser, please help me tell him what I said today. ”

That's what inheritance is all about.

Ji Xun's expression remained unchanged when he listened, understood everything, and responded: "Okay." ”

Because from the first time he saw his qi, he guessed it.

He asked again, "Don't you have a chance to live?" ”

Jia Yu spoke very simply, saying, "Yes! For example, find the source of energy that can make the [Sismak Grail] need, and re-accumulate holy water. ”

Ji Xun knew that he would definitely not be able to wait for decades, and asked, "What do you need?" ”

Jia Yu's eyes were like fog: "I don't know either." However, I suspect that it may be related to the belief in divine power related to 'war and kingship'. ”

Ji Xun frowned.

Vaguely aware of something.

He has experienced the "Holy Grail War" twice, and he has a general understanding of the plot.

But he still hasn't figured out why the demons and humans are vying for this holy grail.

Jia Yu seemed to have known that he would talk about this topic for a long time, and asked the same question: "Have you considered why in the extradimensional space of the Third Holy Grail War, there is a war between humans and demons that lasts for thousands of years?" ”

“.”

Ji Xun shook his head.

"I don't know. But I used my abilities to reverse some of the reasons. ”

Jia Yu paused and continued: "My teacher once said that in ancient times, the gods used the plane as the chessboard and the mysteries of the law as the chessboard vein, the so-called civilization, empire, city-state, army, heroes, civilians, and sect believers. All flags. The number of chess pieces is used as the chess force, and the falling pieces determine the life and death of the person. In fact, the essence is faith and something. In the eyes of the gods, humans are inferior creatures like ants. ”

Ji Xun thought so.

This was true of the Old Gods he had come into contact with.

Jia Yu told the cruel truth: "Only illness can make people believe in doctors, and only suffering can make people pray to the gods, which is the original driving force of faith." ”

Ji Xun listened and nodded.

Jia Yu: "And not only that. I've got some conjectures from some ancient texts that the last few steps to the god level above the seventh order seem to be equally needed. Like a religious sacrifice, a special ritual to satisfy a certain directive condition. For example: war. Otherwise, I can't think of a single reason that would reasonably satisfy the motivation needed to start this Holy Grail Field war."

“.”

Ji Xun's pupils shrank slightly.

Thoughts raced.

"Let's talk about the Holy Grail. Fate is one of the most mysterious rules of the universe, just wait for the result. The topic is far away. And your current realm is a little too early to say the realm. You have a solid mind, and you need something else. ”

Jia Yu said, "I'll show you something." ”

As he spoke, he pulled out an ordinary booklet that looked like a manuscript.

Ji Xun looked over.

[ X-007 - Infinite Script: The World of Will and Appearance]

Explanation: An exclusive relic of the Bard's lineage.

It's a catastrophic thing.

"This is an exclusive relic of my lineage. Some of the Lightseeker's deductive abilities are done through it. ”

Jia Yu turned the first page of the script.

It seems that there is a lot of text recorded on it.

But Ji Xun couldn't see it clearly.

He knew that it was the High Demon Language.

Jia Yu read it directly: "'Yi' is not only the subject of cognition, but also the subject of the body; not only is man the unity of subject and object, but the whole world is the unity of the surface world and the inner world." The world is both a will and an appearance. ”

“？？？”

Ji Xun felt as if he had heard something very powerful just now.

Point to "meaning".

But the brain chooses to filter information that cannot be understood.

So, I don't remember what I heard at all.

Until you try to recall it, you will still find that the words will slip away, and you can't grasp your thoughts at all.

The brain rejects this feeling.

Jia Yu also knew that he couldn't understand, and said with a smile: "When the teacher told me before, I didn't understand it at all. ”

As he spoke, he didn't explain what he meant, and added: "Just listen to it now." When you can understand it one day, you will know why 'Jia Yu' can get out of the script. ”

"Hmm."

Ji Xun smiled slightly, "Thank you for your advice." ”

At this moment, an idea popped up in his mind, one day in the future, he would really master this ability and write a story about him and Song Yu.

So can the fisherman lady also go from the book to the real world?

The two of them spent an afternoon playing poker in the utility room.

Ji Xun also gained a lot.

As Jia Yu said, the "I am the world" and [JOKER] inherited by the Light Chaser do have a lot of overlapping abilities.

The Light Chasers are a single lineage, and the previous generation of Light Chasers has just passed away a few years ago.

The mushroom heads of this generation are also dying.

So there is no heirloom yet.

And Ji Xun is probably the only card master who can learn this demon god forbidden art except for [Bard].

Jia Yu has no reservations.

This mushroom head has a very indifferent view of life and death.

He said that even if he really doesn't live long, it's good to be a screenwriter.

In his words, if no one writes those stories with a pen, who will prove the legends and epics that are drowned in the dust of history?

This is the bard, a profession full of romance.

Ji Xun talked a lot with this guy.

Card masters who can advance to legends all have a top-notch understanding of a certain field.

And because of Jia Yu's career sequence, he really gives people a feeling of knowing everything and knowing everything.

Talking about some confusion, this guy can explain it clearly.

Because of his profession, he is better at expressing himself in words than Gong Wu and even Master Merlin.

Ji Xun was like a sponge, frantically absorbing that knowledge.

In the next few days, Ji Xun also had a place to go.

He stayed in the Hong Building every day, and spent most of his time playing cards and chatting with Jia Yu.

Unknowingly, [Joker's Shadow Trick] quietly started.

Jia Yu has almost become a waste.

He also enjoys this leisure.

Every day is to write scripts, and I have a lot of free time.

Someone chatted with him, and he liked to hear it.

Ji Xun also felt that if conditions permitted, he would continue to stay.

However, the unexpected came suddenly.

The City of Innocence exploded because of a piece of news.

No!

Exactly

The entire Federation of Card Divisions was stunned by this news.

"Oh no! Oh no! Something big is wrong in the Old World! ”

"What's the situation?"

"The 'Cross New Town' established by the Cao family in the Demon Cross Ruins has been destroyed!"

"Huh? The Cao family is one of the five major councilors, and anyone dares to attack them? ”

"Wyvern Strikes! It's a dragon, a real dragon! There are also strong people who don't know where to appear! ”
