In fact, there are nearly 3,000 people on Deadwater Island, and of course it is impossible for everyone to be fools. The Bone Night Ghost Card Game has lasted for so long, and many people already know that it is essentially a supernatural game. The so-called dealer is not human at all. However, for the younger generation, they all speak the same caliber. In any case, for a long time, there has never been an accident because of the ghost game. This proves that although the ghost game is weird, everyone is still at ease.
But... After all, there are still many people who have a strong fear of this weird ghost card game.
This time, as Zhuo Nanyue explained, her parents also changed their faces.
"Nanyue, nothing will happen!" Finally Zhuo's father cleared his throat: "So..."
"I... can I not draw cards? Dad?"
There is a time limit for drawing cards. No one knows what will happen once Zhuo Nanyue doesn't draw cards after five minutes. However, this is a violation of Moon Shadow God's rules. The islanders of Deadwater Island, young and old, are all believers in Moon Shadow. Although there is no relatively complete religious system and complicated doctrines, there is no doubt that Moon Shadow is an irreplaceable religious belief for the islanders.
"Nanyue, don't be joking!" Zhuo's father suddenly looked angry: "Could it be, the priest said, can we not draw cards?"
"No... But, the priest told me a word. That is... No matter what, no matter what, don't draw a joke card!"
Zhuo Nanyue's words were resounding! Inside, there was a dead silence.
"Nanyue..." Zhuo Nancheng, the second elder brother of the Zhuo family, said with a trembling voice, "The priest really... said that?"
The priest, sitting in the Moon Shadow Temple all the year round, most people can't see him. However, if one is willing to pray piously in the hall dedicated to the Moon Shadow God, and if one is sincere, the priest may make an exception to meet him.
Zhuo Nanyue definitely didn't have the guts to lie about using priests!
Did the priest say that himself
Absolutely... don't draw a joker
The "absolute" emphasized by the priest really made people feel a strong sense of uneasiness.
"Maybe..." Zhuo Nanyue expressed her conjecture: "If we say that we got a joke card, then I'm afraid nothing will happen at that time, but as time goes by, maybe bad luck will come slowly!"
There are six members of Zhuo's family, none of them are Qi trainers, they are just unarmed mortals.
"It's okay..." At this time, Zhuo's father said quickly: "A deck of cards, but there are only two ghost cards... There is no such a big chance of winning..."
"There are six people in our family. If someone in the family gets married in the future, the population will continue to increase. The Bone Night Festival will be held every year. At that time... sooner or later, maybe we will draw a wild card!"
Bone Night Festival is going on year after year, all the time! There are 54 playing cards in a deck, and there are 2 ghost cards. The probability of being drawn is only 3.7%. Four times... It's been a long time, can they guarantee that on a certain day, they won't draw a fake card? Among the four siblings, only Zhuo Nanyue is a daughter. The three elder brothers will get married in the future, and their wives will all live at home. It is not so easy for their family to build another house. As for Bone Night Festival moving to other people's house temporarily? How many people are willing? Because by doing so, the probability of drawing a joker card will increase, and if the little joker card is drawn, the "dealer" will enter the house!
This supernatural game must have been played by many people in the past countless years. And what kind of unknown doom will the person who draws the joker face? Nobody knows! And the unknown is the scariest thing!
"I don't draw cards!" Zhuo Nanyue finally gritted her teeth and said her decision: "I don't draw cards! In the future, even if I marry into someone else's family, I will continue this card game, and I don't know when Just draw a joke card...Maybe it's me, maybe it's my child... No way! If you don't draw a card, so what? I definitely don't want to draw a card!"
"Don't be self-willed, Nanyue!" The third brother Zhuo Nanhe immediately objected: "You haven't married yet, have you? Did you ask the priest if you can not draw cards?"
"Why do we have to blindly follow Moon Shadow?" Nanyue still shook her head: "I don't want to smoke, even if I do encounter some bad luck, it's better to face it now than to wait for the uncertainty of the future! I don't want it, I absolutely don't want it!"
Five minutes, soon to pass. The rest of the family has already drawn cards. However... Nanyue has not smoked for a long time!
"Nanyue, don't be like this, haven't we never drawn a joke card before?"
"Dad... In the past few years, we have dispersed the family members and let us live in the homes of relatives such as uncles and uncles. However, their families have continued to add new people over the years, so this year the six of us can only live in the family. Stay home! We… we…”
"Smack me!"
Looking at the clock on the wall, the hands were about to cross the five-minute time limit, Zhuo's father firmly grabbed Zhuo Nanyue's hand, and pressed down hard on the playing cards that had been stuffed under the door!
"Smack it! Give it to me!"
Zhuo's father is already hysterical.
Indeed... For the first time in so many years, a family of six gathered together to draw cards. If you draw three times in a bone night festival, the six people will have to draw cards eighteen times in total, and every year... If things go on like this, it is almost inevitable to draw a ghost card!
so what? Getting a joker card doesn't mean you will die! If you don't smoke, you are disobeying the Moon Shadow God! The consequences of offending the Moon Shadow God would be unimaginable! He would never hope that the Zhuo family would offend Yueying and suffer heaven's punishment! After all, this is the collective belief of the people on the entire backwater island! You must know that the Moon Shadow God has manifested more than once in history, relying on the prophecies delivered by the Qi trainers, and never once failed!
"No way... I don't want to draw, I want to gamble, even if I don't draw cards, I will..."
In the end, Zhuo's father forced his daughter's hand to touch the playing cards. But if my daughter's fingers don't cooperate, she won't be able to draw a poker card. The cards must be drawn by himself, Zhuo's father can't even manipulate Zhuo Nanyue's fingers, right
"Smack me! Zhuo Nanyue!"
In the end, the family went up together, grabbed the five fingers of her right hand tightly, and finally forcibly pulled out a playing card!
But... at this moment...
Time has passed.
This drawn card is already invalid.
Even if it's not a joker, it's meaningless.
For a moment, everyone was ashamed.
Zhuo Nanhe, the third brother of the Zhuo family, turned over the playing card, it was not a fake card at all!
"Couldn't it be better if you smoked earlier? What should we do now?"
"If you don't draw cards within the specified time, what will happen...?"
Zhuo's father gritted his teeth and immediately rushed into the room, knelt down in front of the Moon Shadow God Statue, and kowtowed desperately!
"God of Moon Shadow! Faithful man Zhuo Qingfeng, please calm down! My little girl is ignorant, it's all my fault! Please don't send down punishment from heaven, I will definitely offer double offerings in the future, even if our family has nothing to eat, I will Enshrine all to the Moon Shadow God!"
Outside the door, people from the Zhuo family looked at the door with pale faces.
Then...
Something weird happened...
The drawn cards, as if they were alive, were automatically moved to the deck of playing cards! Then, it was pulled back from under the door!
Everyone opened their mouths in horror!
That poker... actually... actually... can move
At this moment, they were completely sure that the people outside the door were definitely not from the Island Office!
"I... what will happen to us?"
"Mom, say something!"
"Little sister, we will all be killed by you!"
At this moment, everyone is blaming Zhuo Nanyue. But Zhuo Nanyue stared at the door in front of her.
No jokes... what happens
Will something happen
And... then... something terrible happened!
Everyone found that the doorknob in front of them... turned automatically!
"No... no... don't!"
"Quick... find something quickly to hold the gate!"
"Windows... my son's father, cover all the windows on the first floor with something!"
Everyone has not forgotten that the ghost card game is a supernatural game! The so-called "dealer" is not a human being!
Now, they have completely believed this statement!
But at this moment, the bolt that had been locked on the door made a "click"...
Then, in front of Zhuo's family, the door...was slowly opened!
