When I heard Du Shiyue's hearty laughter.

Jiang Zheng and Su Mei on the side couldn't help but glance at each other, and they didn't seem to realize what she was laughing at.

Most importantly, what does the phrase "can keep people in the dark without lying at all"?

Not lying at all...... Should it mean that everything Black Jack says is true and credible?

Keep people in the dark...... It means that Jiang Zheng has been deceived? But he didn't find out?

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Zheng shook his head and said to Du Shiyue:

"Say whatever you want, don't be an Riddler here, watch out for Batman coming to catch you."

"Okay, okay, I said, I said it's not okay."

When she heard the most wonderful metaphor, Du Shiyue couldn't help but laugh again.

Then she took Jiang Zheng's mobile phone, took out the first few conversations, showed them to the two of them, and said:

"Look at these two conversations between yourself and Blackjack, and think about what is different."

What? Two conversations I had with Blackjack? Something different? What do you mean?

Hearing her say this, Jiang Zheng also carefully looked at the two dialogues between himself and Black Jack.

First paragraph:

"Okay, the first round of gambling is over, what's next? Who will be the opponent in the second round? ”

"Please wait, Mr. Jiang Zheng, the game next door is not over yet, and you must wait for your companion to win before you can go to the next round together."

Second paragraph:

"Okay, the game next door is over, can we move on to the second round?"

"Please go to the next round of gambling, hey, how can the challengers this time be so good, it's too boring."

Well? What's going on? At first glance, it seems a little wrong.

After carefully looking at these two conversations, Jiang Zheng also frowned and asked suspiciously:

"That hapless demon seems to be deliberately avoiding certain words? Like what. The second round? ”

Yes, it is not difficult to observe these two conversations that Jiang Zheng and Black Jack seem to be talking about the same thing, but the words used are subtly different.

Jiang Zheng said "who is the opponent in the second round" and "we can go to the second round".

Blackjack replied with "Let's go to the next round" and "Go to the next round".

In addition, when Shen Yunyi's side won the game, it used exactly the same description as "Shen Yunyi won two wins, the game is over, congratulations on entering the next round".

"The second round" and the "next round" may sound like the same thing at first glance.

But Blackjack seems to have deliberately avoided the previous word, and deliberately chose the latter every time.

Is it a coincidence? Is it just that it is customary to describe it that way? No, it's not like a simple habit, it's more like it's intentional?

But why does this guy deliberately use this kind of word, shouldn't it!

Suddenly, an outrageous thought flashed through Jiang Zheng's heart like lightning.

His eyes immediately widened sharply, and after a punch into the air, he said angrily:

"This guy! I didn't even react! Been fooled by it for so long! Damn it! ”

Seeing that Jiang Zheng seemed to understand what was happening at that time, Su Mei, who was confused on the side, couldn't help but ask:

"What do you mean? This 'second round' and 'next round' mean the same thing, is there anything wrong with it talking like that? ”

"Yes, there's a big problem." Du Shiyue sighed and said with a wry smile:

"Because from the beginning we understood the rules of the game wrongly, and the rules of this trial are not like that at all."

The misinterpretation of the rules that Du Shiyue refers to is mainly due to the "rule 1: the challenger and his companion need to win three consecutive rounds of gambling".

Previously, Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi both believed that winning three rounds of gambling in a row meant that the two had to win three rounds each, that is, a total of six rounds to win.

But in fact, this is not the case, this "three rounds of gambling wins in a row" means that Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi together won three rounds is enough.

And most importantly, the first two rounds of betting, the first and second rounds, actually took place at the same time.

Jiang Zheng and Jiang Tao's "blackjack" is the first round of gambling.

Shen Yunyi and Su Yuchan's "lie detector game" is a second round of gambling.

Both rounds of betting are played at the same time, end at the same time, and move on to the next round at the same time.

In other words, the next two will only face the last round of betting.

Because of this, under the rule of "rule three: the host will never lie".

Blackjack couldn't utter the words "second round" at all, so he had to use "next round" instead.

Because when Jiang Zheng asked it these words, the second round of betting, that is, Shen Yunyi's side, was actually underway, or it had already ended.

In this case, when Jiang Zheng asked it "who is the opponent in the second round", it could not answer directly, but could only say "you will know in the next round".

Did you say Blackjack lied? It really doesn't, the devil doesn't lie, that's true, the rules are clearly written.

But the rules only say that the devil will not lie, but they do not say that the devil will answer the question head-on, and it is completely compliant to play the side ball and fool the past.

Because this sidekick was so outrageous, that after listening to Du Shiyue's explanation, Su Mei couldn't help but say in surprise:

"I see, the first round and the second round actually happened at the same time, but even so, we still don't know what happened in the third round, right?"

Indeed, even with the information that "Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi passed the first and second rounds of gambling at the same time".

But there is still no clue about the most important thing about the third round of gambling that made them lose. Is it?

"Not really, there are still some things that can be deduced." Du Shiyue shook her head, looked at Jiang Zheng and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been in a relatively relaxed mood when you entered the next round of gambling, right?"

Well, Jiang Zheng nodded and sighed: "What I was thinking at the time was that the second round of gambling shouldn't be too difficult, because."

"Because with the dirty character of the devil, he will definitely put the hardest, most deceptive, and most malicious game in the final third round."

"All in the middle."

As Jiang Zheng said, he mistakenly thought he was going to face three rounds of gambling at the beginning.

That being the case, the difficulty of the game should be gradual, getting harder and harder.

That is to say, if the "gambling demon" Black Jack wants to make a black hand, he will definitely do it in the last round.

In fact, Jiang Zheng guessed correctly, Black Jack did play a huge black hand in the last round.

It's a pity that Jiang Zheng didn't know that what he was about to face was the last big difficulty. So they lost, and they also lost Shen Yunyi's memory.

Of course, this carrying tactic of influencing the hearts and minds of others is only a small part of the whole malicious plan.

The real difficulty of the final round is that the two challengers are actually entering the "same game" at the same time.

Thinking of this, Du Shiyue bit her lip, a trace of essence flashed in her eyes, and she frowned:

"At the end of the game, there's only one round left, but there are two challengers, so there are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that the final round of gambling is cooperative play, that is, you cooperate with Yunyi to deal with two phantoms, and you will use the rules of a four-player game such as mahjong."

"And the second one may be much worse, it will arrange a confrontation between you and Yunyi, that is. Cannibalism. ”

When the words "cannibalism" were mentioned, Jiang Zheng and Su Mei couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines, and a feeling of a cold wind blowing.

But even so, Jiang Zheng still swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a dry smile:

"I'm inclined to the second one, after all, it's a demon's gamble, so naturally I have to think about the worst."

"But. But that shouldn't be true, right? Hearing this, Su Mei couldn't help but ask suspiciously:

"The demon wants you two to kill each other? Aren't you going to do that? Why did it do as it wanted? ”

"Mei, do you remember who the two of them were against each other in the first and second rounds?"

"This is Jiang Zheng's grandfather Jiang Tao and Yunyi's aunt Su Yuchan."

"Well, these two are people who shouldn't have been able to appear in the temple, but they have become their opponents in the form of 'phantoms', can you think of anything from this?"

"Phantom. Opponents! Isn't that right? Their opponents in the third round are! ”

"Yes." Du Shiyue nodded, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Their opponent in the third round is the other side that has been disguised as a 'phantom', and this is how the demons let them kill each other." ”

If Du Shiyue guessed correctly, the whole picture of Jiang Zheng's stripped memories has gradually surfaced.

When he followed Black Jack through the passage, it was Shen Yunyi himself who was waiting for him at the other end.

But even if the two bumped into each other in three rounds of gambling, under Blackjack's deliberate arrangement, both of them would think that the other party was a "phantom" generated by the temple.

The personality and memory of the "Phantom" are exactly the same as the main body, and it is really difficult to tell whether it is true or false at first encounter.

Moreover, the demon can also see the "Ring of Death", and if he can create a phantom of Shen Yunyi with the "Ring of Death", it will be even more difficult to distinguish.

Not only that, but the "gambling demon" has been hinting at them in front of him in order to make the two indistinguishable.

The first hint is that the scene that both of them are very familiar with, that is, the hall of the Shen family courtyard is used as a game space.

Through such a familiar and distorted daily scene, the boundary between "real" and "unreal" can be blurred as much as possible.

The second hint is that in the first and second rounds of gambling, the two of them saw the same "phantom" as in reality.

And let the two of them fully believe that there will be exactly the same replica in the temple, and they will also be opponents with them.

The third implication is to mislead the two people's perception of the rules, making them feel that the gambling process of the two is separate and unrelated.

Jiang Zheng will feel that "Shen Yunyi is next door for the second round, so the Shen Yunyi in front of me is a phantom".

Shen Yunyi will feel that "Jiang Zheng is doing the second round next door, so the Jiang in front of me is the phantom".

But in fact, the two in front of each other are not phantoms, but real people, and the third round of gambling kicked off in this misunderstanding.

"I don't know what you gambled on in the third round, but everything seems to be under the control of the demon, so you all lose."

When she said this, Du Shiyue couldn't help but sigh, sighing at the demon's terrifying wisdom and means of playing with people's hearts.

Isn't it, although at first glance, Jiang Zheng and Shen Yunyi have only experienced two very simple gambling and psychological games.

But in fact, the so-called gambling games in the first and second rounds are at best just a foreshadowing for the third round of the main game.

The real focus of this "devil's gamble" is the cannibalism of the two challengers in the third round of the game.

That's why this trial specifically states that "the challenger is invited to bring his closest companions with him".

Because if there is only one person, the third round of gambling will not be able to run normally at all, and two people must go together.

The most terrifying thing is that the closer and more familiar the two people who participate in the gambling game, the more dramatic the cannibalism will be

And Blackjack, who single-handedly created all this, acted as the host with an expressionless face, and at the same time probably smiled in his heart.

So far, the whole picture of the "Devil's Gamble" has almost been deduced by Du Shiyue.

But even if she roughly deduced what happened at that time, she couldn't give the final and most important answer.

That is, even if you know all the things that the demon is doing in it, the key point is how to pass this trial?

Yes, this is the most troublesome place, and it is also the place where Du Shiyue can't figure it out after thinking and meditating.

If the third round of betting is a two-man bet, then no matter where they lose, Blackjack can declare the challenger defeated.

From this point of view, there is no possibility of winning this bet at all, and it is a loss.

So now it's not a matter of whether you can win the game or not, the focus has become how to beat the "dealer".

But Blackjack, the "dealer", does not gamble at all, but only sets rules on the side and reaps the benefits.

In the face of a "bookmaker" who does not play at all and is free from the table, is it really possible for a gambler to win?

However, just as Du Shiyue was sitting here and meditating, a hand shook in front of her eyes.

She looked up and saw that Jiang was waving there, with a relaxed smile on her face.

"Don't think about it anymore, it's useless to think about it." Jiang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's great that you've been able to deduce it so far, and the rest of the story can't be deduced from this clue alone."

Isn't it, Du Shiyue can deduce so many things based on Jiang Zheng's memories, which is actually amazing enough.

But the next way to win the third round of gambling is obviously not something that can be solved by these off-the-field thinking.

"Now that we know about Blackjack's intrigues, what we can do now is to go in and continue the challenge and see if we can find any clues in the third round of gambling this time."

"Whew...... Also, it's not enough to rely on deduction alone, you still have to actually go in and take a look. ”

Speaking of this, Du Shiyue stroked her hair and asked expectantly:

"And when are we leaving?"

In Du Shiyue's opinion, the person who challenged the "devil's gamble" with Jiang Zheng this time must be herself.

After all, Su Mei is not so clever in this regard, let alone the third round, the second round may not be able to pass, and there is a high probability that it will be given in vain.

So now besides Du Shiyue, who else can take the position of this partner? Isn't it?

But as soon as the words fell, Jiang Zheng shook his head and said with a smile:

"I'm sorry, it seems that this time you can only be an off-site staff officer, or I have to go in with that guy."

"That guy? ...... are you referring to?"

"Of course, I've been eavesdropping on the door for a long time, hey, it's almost time for you to come out, right? Hiding there and not panicking? ”

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng shouted towards the half-closed door at the entrance of the staircase on the rooftop...... Then a figure literally walked out of it.

It was Shen Yunyi, who rushed here early to eavesdrop, thinking that she was hiding very secretly, but she had already been discovered by Jiang Zheng.

Seeing her best friend coming over with an embarrassed look, Su Mei couldn't help but ask in a little panic:

"Cloud ...... Yunyi? You...... When did you come over? ”

Shen Yunyi glanced at her with a complicated gaze and said with a wry smile:

"Probably...... Probably came over while you were spanking, haha. ”

Not! As soon as she heard that Shen Yunyi actually saw the scene of being spanked, Su Mei's face suddenly turned red and she retreated to the side.

But now is not the time to dwell on this little thing, Shen Yunyi immediately looked at Jiang Zheng, took a deep breath and said:

"You...... Are you planning to take me into the temple of the soul again, to be your partner again? ”

"yes." Jiang Zheng nodded without hesitation and smiled:

"The Shen Yunyi I know doesn't admit defeat so easily, where he falls, he has to get up somewhere, right?"
