I know I've done my best to find Aries as quickly as possible.

From the time I found him disappearing from the venue to the time I found him, it took almost five hours in total.

But I feel like I'm late.

When we arrived at Aries' new playground, the first thing we saw was the completely changed appearance of Aries.

He was no longer a mask, replaced by a cold sheep's face.

His suit was spotless at the moment, and just standing there gave people a lot of oppression.

It's just that he seems to be in trouble, and now there are several "participants" standing in front of the Aries shouting something.

"Why don't you speak?" One woman asked, "What the hell is your game?" ”

The "participants" kept asking questions in front of Aries, but Aries' eyes were slightly closed and they didn't say a word.

It occurred to me that White Snake had told us that "Aries has designed a game full of holes and can be fouled at any time", has he been stalling for time?

"What's wrong with the sheep?" A few people in front of him whispered, "Can't he hear us?" ”

"Hey......" said one of them again, "don't stop talking, 'sheep' are rare...... We finally found the "ground sheep", why don't you let us see it? ”

Aries closed his eyes and groaned for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, the game has already been booked by "VIPs", I can only receive it in batches, and you can't play the game until the reservation person comes." ”

At this time, I saw that the eyes of the white sheep were also strange, grayish white like real goats, and had dark rectangular pupils.

And...... His voice seemed to have changed, too.

Is the throat structure of a sheep different from that of humans?

"...... appointment?" One person was stunned, "Do you still need a "reservation" for your game?" ”

"Yes, it's going to be a game you've never seen before." "I will give priority to the "VIPs" over the ordinary people. ”

After Bai Yang finished speaking, he turned his head slightly, and his eyes happened to pass through the crowd and saw me and Jiang Ruoxue.

"They're coming." Aries said with a little reassurance, "Now everyone, please wait, you can participate in the next batch of games." ”

Jiang Ruoxue and I hurried through the crowd to Bai Aries, he nodded slightly at the two of us, and then turned around and opened the door of the building.

As we entered, we found that it seemed to be a large bank, and the center of the building had been emptied, leaving a small empty square.

In the center of the square, from left to right, are twelve wooden animal statues, each with a table in front of it.

Two vertical lines were drawn on the table, dividing the table into three parts, which read "win", "lose", and "kill".

Among them, "win" and "loss" occupy the largest area, and "kill" occupies the smallest area.

The order of the animal statues is from rat to pig, and it looks like the twelve zodiac signs are among them.

At the bottom of each zodiac statue there are three more lights, one red, one white and one green.

And in the distance at the counter of the bank, a display screen hangs above. The display stares at the 12 zodiac statues like an eagle hovering in the air.

"Aries......," I exclaimed, coming back to my senses, "are we too early?" ”

"Anyway, it's not too late." Aries said, "If you hadn't shown up, I would have been carried away by Suzaku today, after all, my playground was chosen at the intersection with the largest number of participants. ”

"I don't understand...... Jiang Ruoxue stretched and said, "You're so smart, why don't you just design a stable 'prefecture-level game'?" Do you have to risk waiting for the two of us to come? ”

"Wealth is in danger." Aries said, "High risk naturally has high reward, and most of the "prefecture-level" games now either use elaborate mechanics or let the "zodiac" personally participate, the first is safer but the results are slow, and the second can speed up the progress, but at the same time put yourself in a dangerous situation. Because I'm in a hurry, I can't choose either way. ”

"So you chose 'cause and effect'?" Jiang Ruoxue looked at the twelve statues in the venue, "Are you going to make these statues all have 'cause and effect'?" ”

"It's not quite accurate to say 'cause and effect'." Aries said, "I just need the simplest logical relationships. ”

"What logical relationship?" Jiang Ruoxue asked.

Aries walked up to a rat statue and said, "I'll tell you the logic of it, and you choose how to cast karma." ”

"Okay."

"This statue represents the closest gopher to me." "And I need this item to meet the following conditions, once the game of "Gopher" starts, a white light will be lit under the statue, if the game "Gopher" wins, a separate red light will be lit, and if the "participant" wins, a separate green light will be lit. The twelve statues in front of him were all manipulated according to this logic. ”

"Hey......?" Jiang Ruoxue and I were both slightly stunned after hearing this, "That's it?" ”

"It's the norm." "There are also special circumstances. ”

"...... you say," Jiang Ruoxue said.

"If the zodiac dies, all three lights will be lit and strobe." Aries said, "The strobe time is more than five minutes. ”

Jiang Ruoxue nodded after hearing this, and then stepped forward to look at the lights.

"These lights...... Are all the wires connected? "I can only manipulate cause and effect, and I can't do supernatural things." If there is no electricity, these lights will not come on. ”

"Of course." "All of these lights are plugged in, and the display behind me can be used." ”

"And what does the display behind you do?" I asked.

"That's the second way to play this game." Aries said, "Let's add the 'cause and effect' of these statues first. ”

"Okay, it's not hard." Jiang Ruoxue nodded and looked back and forth at the wooden statue in front of her.

The statues are exquisitely made, and although they are carved out of wood, each animal is lifelike, down to the smallest hair.

Jiang Ruoxue said a few words to each statue from left to right, and the lights began to turn on gradually.

At the moment, I feel that this bank is not just a playground, but more like a giant chessboard.

Aries only needs to stand in this field every day to know the situation of the nearest twelve "zodiac signs" in the vicinity.

Moreover, according to this logic, even if the "zodiac" closest to him is gambled to death, the "zodiac" closest to him will become the "closest", and the game facilities will continue to work.

Coupled with the tables placed in front of the "zodiac", I speculate that the Aries game venue is likely to be a "casino".

It's a seemingly new idea, but it's not particularly perfect.

I don't know exactly how it would be better, but if it's Aries...... He should have been able to design a better game, right?
