The next conversation was between the players. Tangning avoided the Duke and found an empty room. He closed the door and asked everyone, "I want to know what abilities everyone's cards have?"
"First introduce your own cards. Each card can detect whether a person is contaminated."
The monk followed closely: "The card can keep oneself from being polluted."
Si Tai glanced at the monk who was answering very positively, "The card can protect others from being polluted, but it can only protect one person every night."
Jiang Mianmian had previously told Tangning about her card, so she felt no pressure to answer. "It's a low-level card. It's useless. It can only make monsters ignore it with a certain chance."
Lin Yun said: "It's similar to Jiang Mianmian's cards."
Zhou Kangtou said, "It's also a useless low-level card."
Kerstin also said: "That's right."
As expected, the player did not play a second card like Li Haoyuan.
Among the eight players, Tang Ning, Li Haoyuan, Si Tai, and Ji Kong drew advanced cards. However, except for the pure Si Tai, the others were all deeply polluted.
Although Jiang Mianmian, Lin Yun, Zhou Kang and Kerstin all drew low-level cards, the degree of their contamination did not seem to be serious.
Tang Ning thought about it carefully. Was the door really just a matter of luck
Perhaps we can think about it from the balance mechanism of card games. For example, although Jiang Mianmian got a low-level card, her glasses ability can be used in this game.
As for Li Haoyuan, he got the advanced card, and his intuition had a certain chance of seeking advantage and avoiding harm. At that time, Li Haoyuan specially turned into a werewolf for the room to enhance his intuition, but he still lost the bet. Did the card game intentionally increase Li Haoyuan's chance of losing the bet
If we follow this line of reasoning, the monk got the advanced card, and his Buddhist beads seem to be able to calculate the crisis inside the door, so he has a great advantage. In order to balance it, the probability of him being contaminated is extremely high.
What about him
Tangning recalled his own abilities. He had taken a high-level card, which had the ability to see through doors. The pen of the prop Pen Fairy was more useful than Jiang Mianmian's glasses. What he had was really too much. And then look at the price he paid...
Although he was polluted, the polluted ghost was still willing to return his body to him, and kept pointing fingers at him and helping him do things.
This, this is totally inconsistent with the balance theory of card games.
Tang Ning frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Donor Tang?" Jikong called out.
Tangning came back to his senses and looked at everyone, "I just discussed this with Master Jikong. We believe that there are two types of pollution this time. One is obvious pollution. Once we open the door of the room where the monster is hidden, we will be polluted."
This everyone has no objection.
"The other type is hidden pollution. The moment we step into the castle, everyone is polluted, but the level of pollution is very shallow..." Tangning said as he observed everyone's expressions.
In fact, he didn't analyze other people's thoughts very much before, but this ability can be trained. Just like if a person grows up surrounded by love and affection, he can easily become self-centered. If the same person has the experience of living under someone else's roof, his ability to observe people's words and expressions can be trained better than in the previous environment.
And there is no environment that can better train people than card games.
Tang Ning had always been confused and shocked when he experienced those side effects before, and he didn't get much decent guidance. But now, a voice sounded in his mind, one by one: What is the purpose of your saying this
Purpose
Tang Ning blinked in confusion. Wasn't he sharing information with his teammates right now
Are you sure they consider you as a teammate? "He" asked.
Jiang Mianmian frowned and looked at the people around her. Lin Yun and Zhou Kang remained silent, not knowing what they were thinking. Kerstin stared at the monk, as if observing the condition of his temporary roommate.
If you want to convince them, you have to tell them gently that they may be slightly contaminated. "He" sneered: Do drunk people think they are drunk
You run over to a drunk and tell him you are drunk, but he is just being mad at you. Does he really not realize it? It could be true, or it could be that he is unwilling to realize it.
But if you run up to a drunk and give him a hard left hook, he will be hurt and want to fight back, but he sees double and can’t even stand steadily - “he” says coldly: Then he realizes, oh, it turns out he is really drunk.
Tangning blinked.
He subconsciously looked at the monk next to him, and suddenly felt that what "he" said was right. If he asked the monk how he ate meat before roasting it, the monk would only tell him that it was a side dish and he couldn't be picky.
Do we need to burn them with candles now? Tangning asked.
"He" was silent for two seconds before saying: Do you want to use a cannon to kill a mosquito
Yes, this is only a mild pollution and candles should not be needed.
Tang Ning asked cautiously: What should we do then
He was silent for a long time, so long that Tangning thought he would stop talking. Suddenly, the voice said, "What use are you? You killed your mother and made your prince sacrifice for you again and again. If the person they loved wasn't you, they would be a thousand times happier than they are now."
Every time a word came out, it was like a knife stabbing Tang Ning's heart, bleeding, and the chill eroded his whole body, chilling his teeth to the bone.
Look, if you put it that way, you would want to leave now. He said calmly.
Tang Ning took a deep breath, lowered his head, and covered his left chest with his hand. Tears welled up in his eyes at that moment, and all the painful negative emotions surged up and filled his chest.
The fingertips pressing on the heart turned white with force.
He kept gasping for breath, over and over, and his breathing trembled uncontrollably.
"Have you learned it?" "He" asked calmly, seemingly not caring about Tangning's mood at all.
Tangning still kept his head down.
The long black hair covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
As Tangning lowered her head, "he", who always held his head high, also lowered his head. However, even though both of them lowered their heads, "he" still couldn't see Tangning's expression clearly, so "he" simply squatted down and raised his head to look at Tangning.
The moment "he" raised his head, a drop of crystal clear tear fell down. "He" subconsciously reached out to catch it, and the tear passed through the invisible hand and splashed on the ground.
His palm couldn't help but move, as if trying to hold back something. At this moment, "he" heard the weak, not cruel, but trying hard to hold back crying voice:
But... I still don't want you to leave.
I still don't want you to leave, because I think you are a good person and everything you say is right.
If my mother, my prince, had not met someone as amazing as you at the beginning, then everyone would be happy.
Drop after drop of tears fell like pearls from a broken string. The illusory hand raised up, trying to wipe away Tang Ning's tears, but Tang Ning's hand was faster than "him". Tang Ning quickly wiped the tears from his face with the back of his hand. He apologized to "him": I'm sorry.
He then said: Thank you for teaching me, I should learn it.
Tang Ning raised his head. There were still traces of crying on his face, but other than that, his expression was very calm.
He walked in front of Lin Yun, and Lin Yun faced him. Tangning looked at this teammate and thought about the past they had spent together. "Lin Yun, I really regret accepting your invitation to form a team. You have abandoned your teammates time and time again. You are so heartless and disloyal. You are not worthy of my trust."
This was the first time Tang Ning had said such harsh words. After he finished speaking, he saw that Lin Yun's expression did not change much. Although it became a little uglier, it seemed that he was still some distance away from truly breaking through.
Making people sad is a technical job, and "he" is better at it.
When he was thinking this, he did not notice that "he" squatting at his feet was frowning as if twitching, with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, revealing an expression that had nothing to do with pride and arrogance.
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun asked through gritting his teeth.
Tang Ning thought that Lin Yun must be a little sad, but this sadness was not enough, she needed to be even sadder.
… Tell him, but it doesn’t matter, soon you won’t have anyone to discard. “His” voice reappears: Whether it’s a game or a person.
Tangning imitated his tone, speaking calmly, as if stating a fact, "Soon you won't have anyone to discard, whether it's a game—"
It seems to be true. Although Lin Yun, Jiang Mianmian and Zhou Kang are teammates fighting side by side, in fact, Lin Yun and them are really just teammates.
Lin Yun's attitude towards Tang Ning has always been better than Jiang Mianmian, Zhou Kang and others. This is not because Tang Ning is narcissistic, but because Tang Ning truly feels that he is the most important teammate in Lin Yun's mind.
"Still a human being," he said slowly. As he concluded, Tangning thought about Lin Yun's real life. Lin Yun's mother had passed away, and he had no attachment to his current family.
He didn't want to pursue a career, didn't have any ideals, didn't have any important relatives, didn't have a lover, and other than Tang Ning, he didn't have any teammates willing to risk their lives to save him.
After taking out Lin Yun's things and looking at them, it seemed that there was really nothing left. He had nothing important to throw away.
Tangning saw Lin Yun's eyes widen at that moment.
He finally realized why he had to distance himself from Tangning and remain silent just because she might be contaminated, and only think about surviving.
Even if he really survived, what's the point of struggling alone in the card world, fighting against people and ghosts
When Tang Ning saw Lin Yun's shocked expression, he couldn't help but praise "him": You are amazing, you broke his defense so easily.
Hearing Tangning's praise, "he" turned his head in silence and stared at Tangning's clueless expression. After a while, he said: You too.
