“8 of Diamonds, Ace of Spades, 9 of Spades, Queen of Hearts, 2 of Hearts, 4 of Hearts, 7 of Diamonds…”
Cui Zuojing's movements stopped when he reached the eighth picture, Lin Hangzhi was standing beside him, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
So far, six out of the first seven cards.
There are 54 cards in a deck of playing cards, and the probability of guessing each card is fifty-fourths. If you guess six consecutive cards, the probability is so small that it is close to zero.
"It looks like you're very nervous." Cui Zuojing turned his head to look at him.
Lin Hangzhi's voice was tight: "I feel like I'm going to die."
Cui Zuojing laughed a few times and said, "No, do you still want to read the next cards?"
Lin Hangzhi Shen hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Look! Even if I die, I want to understand a little bit. I also want to know how far I can do it."
But Cui Zuojing stood up, put the remaining three cards in his pocket, put away the remaining cards on the table, and said, "Then don't look at it, okay, the test is here, Mr. Lin Hangzhi, you are excellent , whether it's you or your ability."
Lin Hangzhi: "Ah? But there are still three cards..."
"Don't worry about them, just treat them as non-existent." Cui Zuojing stretched his waist, snapped his fingers, and walked upstairs, "I suggest you take Victor with you these days, don't go out casually, if You don't need to feel guilty if bad luck affects other people, after all, the experiment is what I asked you to do, and the blame is on me."
"Could-"
"It just so happens that I should familiarize myself with my abilities again, don't be afraid, I will cure you." Victor jumped onto the table and spoke to Lin Hang's way, who wanted to know the result. He wrapped his tail around each other's wrist, saw the thin calluses left by the scalpel on Lin Hang's fingers, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"
"Ah, it used to be." Lin Hangzhi's eyes dimmed, he clenched his fists as if to hide, hid the calluses on his hands, and shrugged, "But because of a medical accident, everyone was dismissed, and everyone said yes. I left the gauze in the patient's stomach, but it wasn't really me."
Victor was silent for a few seconds, rubbed Lin Hang's wrist, and said in a low voice, "I used to be a doctor, working in the Northeast. I finished the last plus sign in the morning after the consultation that day, and it was half an hour before the afternoon consultation began. At the clinic, I wanted to lie down on the table and squint for a while, but woke up here."
Lin Hangzhi's eyes suddenly heated up when he heard this. Perhaps only his peers can understand the suffering of this industry. He picked up Victor, pursed his lips, and finally said:
"I...was killed by a billboard on my way home from being fired."
Cui Zuojing pushed open the door of Dong Zheng's room. The man was sitting at the table, holding the tablet in both hands, trying to do something with it by his ability.
After ten days of training, he has been able to turn on the tablet and open the application software, but he has never been able to enter the state of the awakening day.
Fu Zhe taught him some ways to focus his mind, but it wasn't enough. Dong Zheng didn't know the conditions or opportunities needed to sink into the inner world.
"I tested Lin Hangzhi's ability." Cui Zuojing took out the cards in his pocket and threw them on the table in front of Dong Zheng. Dong Zheng opened them, frowned, and looked up at Cui Zuojing.
All three cards are blank.
Cui Zuojing leaned back on the table, folded his arms around his chest, and said, "I did it on purpose, I didn't dare to make him guess so many, but he guessed six of the other seven correctly, and the moment he gave the answer, The retribution was on him, and it also blew up Fu Zhe's laboratory."
Dong Zheng was stunned for a moment, just now he was concentrating, and he didn't hear the chaos downstairs: "Such a strong side effect?"
Cui Zuojing: "It also proves from the side that this is a very strong ability, doesn't it?"
Dong Zheng nodded: "When you really can't find a clue to unlock something that requires a password, you can directly let Lin Hang guess it. It's really useful, but it's not desperate, no one dares to let him easily. Use your abilities."
"Yeah, it's really terrible to have bad luck in the box." Cui Zuojing lay down on his back beside the bed, looked at the wall lamp on the ceiling, and said softly to himself, "Undifferentiated and unlocked bad luck... Could it be used for other purposes?"
Dong Zheng didn't answer him. Cui Zuojing seldom went back to the prisoner's space when he had nothing to do. The desire to be satisfied there was not attractive to him. On the contrary, Cui Zuojing hated this kind of easy access, and magnified it countless times. Some are illusory.
And loneliness.
But staying outside for a long time also made him easy to become tired, just like now, Dong Zheng can feel that the teenager is a little tired.
He picked up three blank cards, the cards were thinner than the others, thinking that Cui Zuojing had scratched the pattern on them beforehand.
But they still have their original colors and sizes.
Dong Zheng wrote joker with a black marker and drew the smiling faces of the clowns, so that they became three little kings.
I don't know if it's not a guess.
When Shenmian and Meng came, Cui Zuojing did not know.
He didn't want to sleep in Dong Zheng's room at all, but no matter what he thought, when he woke up again, he was sitting on a chair.
Cui Zuojing immediately realized that he was in a dream. His hands and feet were chained to the armrests and the legs of the chair, unable to move. The boy didn't panic, and quickly looked around, except that he sat in a circular area, the rest of the place was hidden in the thick darkness.
The breath of danger was so familiar.
Cui Zuojing calmed his breath and waited patiently. The black mist swam around him and stroked the boy's cheek.
Not long after, four lights came on from above, illuminating the circular area and the other four people tied to chairs.
When he saw those faces he hadn't seen for a long time, Cui Zuojing was stunned, and then he couldn't help but shouted softly, "Victor, Fu Zhe, Luo Wan... Nana?"
A tall Russian man sat on Cui Zuojing's left hand. He was about forty years old, with deep purple eyes and short platinum hair. He turned his head when he heard the sound, opened his mouth in surprise, but couldn't make any sound. .
The young man with tears in his eyes was sitting on Cui Zuojing's right hand, and the dongxiao that never left his body was placed on the round table where the five people sat around. On the other side of him, the twenty-year-old girl stared at Cui Zuojing with a tired and depressed smile.
And the woman who had kept her head down and her face covered by her long hair groaned in pain, and finally raised her head, those eyes that once burned with enthusiasm and vitality seemed to have faded, turned gray, and lost their focus.
"Now that you've all arrived, it's time to start our game."
The voice first entered Cui Zuojing's ears, and then, a woman's figure loomed from the mist, her dazzling blond hair was coiled high, a delicate crown was placed on her head, her eyes were bright and her teeth were bright, and she was wearing a white dress that shone with silver. , like a princess from a fairy tale.
Cui Zuojing suddenly clenched his fists, almost clenching one of his teeth.
queen.
The queen sat down gracefully in the remaining chair, looked up at Cui Zuojing who was sitting opposite her, didn't care about the vicious eyes of the young man who seemed to be trying to devour her alive, smiled and said softly to everyone: " Congratulations to all of you who have successfully passed the many trials, come to me, and play the last game with me, then you can make your wish come true."
With a wave of her hand, she shattered the chains that bound everyone, and a deck of cards appeared in the center of the round table.
"Let's play a game, my favorite game, each person draws a card, and the content of that card will be your destiny."
Do not! reject her!
Cui Zuojing roared desperately, but in the dream, he couldn't control his behavior, he could only watch Victor stretch out his hand, draw a card and hold it in his hand, and then Chi Li, Nana, Fu Zhe, Luo Wan and others He took all of them.
Looking down to see the contents of the card, Fu Zhe habitually folded the card upside down on the table, Chi Li and Nana bit her lower lip excitedly to suppress her emotions, Luo Xun took a deep breath, and paired with Victor who was sitting opposite her. He glanced at him, but the joy in the corners of his eyes couldn't be concealed.
Only Cui Zuojing, icy pierced into the bone marrow.
The queen took a panoramic view of their expressions, and the smile on the corners of her plump lips deepened.
"It seems that the results are good." She stretched out her sleeve-wearing hand, took the top card, and said with a smile, "Then, now it's my turn."
Do not! ! !
She turned the card over.
[reverse]
The teared clown and the smiling clown faced off on both sides of the card. The moment the card was revealed to everyone, countless chains suddenly pierced out of the darkness behind them, locking all five of them on the chairs!
The arms, legs, torso, and neck were all locked tightly, no matter how hard they struggled, it was useless. Chi Carp Nana's card floated out of her hand and stopped in front of her, the flame on the card was extinguished into ashes, and the word "strength" turned into "weakness".
Blindfolds covered with ferocious thorns appeared from the darkness, and tightly bound her eyes in the screams of Chi Koi and Nana.
"Ah ah ah!"
Blood ran down her cheeks immediately.
[Vitality] turns into [Desolation].
The mouthpiece full of nails was forcibly stuffed into Victor's mouth, the ropes on both sides were tied to the back of his head, blood stains were drawn on his cheeks, and his head was fixed, forcing Victor to open his mouth to the extreme.
The nails pierced his cheeks, and with every painful gasp, bright red blood dripped from the corners of his lips.
[Freedom] turns into [Prison].
The chains restrained Fu Zhe's neck, making his head completely immobile. Two high-speed drills appeared from both sides, slowly approaching, and the harsh sound of the engine penetrated into Fu Zhe's ears!
Blood spurted.
Wake up!
Cui Zuojing roared desperately, but to no avail. This too-real dream was like a giant hand in the abyss, clasping him tightly in the palm of his hand, unable to break free no matter what.
[Future] turns into [Bubble].
Numerous black giant insects crawled out of the ground, carrying a stench of liquid, and crawled all over her body along Luoheng's feet, climbed onto her terrified face, and mercilessly burrowed into her nasal cavity.
No no no no!
Cui Zuojing's card floated slowly, and the ink marks of the word "hope" slowly changed.
He struggled with all his strength, but he didn't realize that he could control the body in the dream.
The queen smiled gracefully, her whole body was as white as a radiant angel, the screams and screams of everyone, and blood all over her eyes, gathered her favorite things.
[despair]
"Do not!!!"
At the moment when the card surface finally changed completely, in the heart-breaking roar of Cui Zuojing, the chair under him suddenly shattered.
The boy grabbed the burning card, with heavy chains on his limbs, jumped onto the table with one hand, aimed at the queen's slender neck, and waved the card with all his strength!
But a second before the weapon that was enhanced by the slaughter touched the delicate skin, the cards burned out in his hands, leaving only a black streak on the side of the queen's neck.
Chains jumped out of the darkness and tied his hands that wanted to attack again. Cui Zuojing fell to his knees on the table, tears of anger welling in his eyes.
Victor, Fu Zhe, Luo Wan, Chi Li and Nana were all soaked in blood, and there was no sound at all.
"It's your turn."
The queen stood up gracefully, raised her hand to lift Cui Zuojing's chin, and pressed her other hand on the boy's left chest, smiling satisfied, "A brave heart."
Cui Zuojing suddenly opened his mouth, bit her hand fiercely, the canine teeth pierced the skin, the smell of blood—
Snapped!
"You stained my clothes." The queen stared at the bloody tooth marks on the back of her hands. A drop of blood fell on the hem of her skirt, and a red rose fell out.
Gloomy finally replaced the decent smile, and she slapped Cui Zuojing again. Slap again.
Blood slowly flowed from the corners of the boy's lips, nostrils and ears. Cui Zuojing coughed twice and spat out a bloody tooth.
Countless hands stretched out from all directions, grabbing Cui Zuojing and digging towards his heart.
I'm still... not lost!
Cui Zuojing clenched the tooth in his hand and threw it towards the queen. The claws pierced his skin, pierced his heart, and the pain blurred his vision.
But he still stared at the woman in front of him.
A blurry figure appeared behind the queen, and in the next instant, the tip of the knife stabbed out of her chest, and blood flowers bloomed on the white dress.
The Queen's eyes widened in disbelief and her lips moved slightly, but she couldn't make any sound after all, the long knife chopped off, the beautiful and noble head rolled on the table, and then fell to the ground.
Blood spurted on Cui Zuojing's face. hot.
He stared blankly at the group of blurry figures that suddenly appeared, and at the last moment, he vaguely heard Luo Wan's voice ringing in his ears:
"You are the last hope."
Cui Zuojing suddenly opened his eyes.
Dong Zhengzheng leaned over with one hand on the bed, leaning very close as if to look down at him. Suddenly meeting Cui Zuojing's terrified eyes, the man stopped abruptly, paused for two seconds, and straightened up with a frown.
"You suddenly start yelling."
Dong Zheng paused for a while, then pointed to his face, Cui Zuojing raised his hand blankly, his face full of tears.
Cui Zuojing took a deep breath and wiped his face with the back of his hands. Dong Zheng handed him a towel and asked, "Have you had a nightmare?"
"Thank you." Cui Zuojing took the towel to dry his face, and noticed that Dong Zheng looked at him strangely.
"What?"
Cui Zuojing's black eyelashes were wet, his eyes and nose were red from crying, and the impact of the dream was so strong that he couldn't control his voice hoarse when he spoke now.
The young man's appearance was so confusing that Dong Zheng wanted to comfort him, no matter what method he used.
Immediately, he didn't know what to think, laughed at himself, and finally said, "It's the first time I saw you show this expression, I'm just... a little novel."
