Jenkins' break wasn't long, in fact less than half a minute after the Chess Demon retreated, the damn clock announced the event again.
There was another knock on the door, and Jenkins didn't want to pay attention to it, because he urgently needed a rest now. But he immediately noticed that from the crack of the basement door, black sewage with a foul smell actually seeped in.
This shows that the person outside the door cannot refuse, and if the door is not opened, the problem may be quite serious. And if the door is opened, according to the consistent characteristics of the Paradox, whenever the end of the Paradise is approaching, the strongest danger will appear.
"I want to see who it is..."
He told the worried cat not to approach the door, and then staggered to the door. Taking a deep breath, he opened the door again.
Outside the door is a monster with blue skin, which seems to be made of bronze urns. It is like a monster in ancient myths, and also like a monster in stories that people have passed down from generation to generation. He is short and fat, with two ears and eyes that are terribly big, and he wears gem rings of different colors on his twelve thick fingers, and foul-smelling black water continuously oozes from his waist.
Jenkins' flames immediately surrounded the door frame as before, but it was obviously not an easy task to resist the meat blanket and sewage at the same time.
"Oh, long time no see."
The monster said in a sweet and greasy voice, and the two big eyes that occupied almost one-third of the face were narrowed into a slit.
"A-05-1-4490, Lucky Doom."
Jenkins also recognized the thing in front of him. It was responsible for the destruction of Fei Ni's cousin's house. And when Jenkins and Fenny escaped from that house, they even lost a precious Class C gift that could store water.
His eyes looked at the sewage flowing from the monster's waist. When we met last time, he didn't have such water control ability until he took away Jenkins' gift.
"Sorry, I don't want to trade my family for your luck."
As he spoke, he wanted to close the door, but immediately he heard the alarm clock behind him giggling, and the door remained motionless.
"No, no, no, I don't want to exchange luck with you either. The last time I bet on dice, it was the first time I lost since this era."
The big-headed monster outside the door said with a smile, and put his hands together. When it was opened again, a golden scale appeared between Jenkins and the monster.
The balance slowly rotated horizontally, and finally one end went deep into the door and stopped in front of Jenkins, and the other end continued to stay outside the door and stopped in front of the monster.
"Since you have survived until now, I think you probably know something about our kind of things. To be honest, I didn't expect that I finally escaped from the strange world and entered the material world, and was sucked in again after a few epochs. ... I don't want to embarrass you, bet three rounds, if you win two rounds, I will leave."
"What to bet? How to bet?"
In fact, Jenkins has no right to refuse at all, because he really can't close the door, and the alarm clock behind him must be playing tricks.
"We take turns placing items into the balance first, and the one that is placed last needs to place other items of the same type. Whoever weighs the most wins. The winner takes all, and all six items belong to him. This balance, use you humans In other words, it is a B-type item that I got by accident, and it can measure the value of any similar item. I think you should know that in terms of rules, it is not allowed to lie, so I will not lie to you."
It squinted at Jenkins, and added before he could ask:
"I don't want to embarrass you, so you let it go first."
If Jenkins starts the first inning, that means he can start the third as well. Considering that the same item must be placed every time, the person who started must have the advantage.
"What does it want to do?"
Jenkins doesn't believe in "I don't want to embarrass you" nonsense.
"Could it be..."
After thinking about it again and again, Jenkins called out his holy sword and put it on the balance. The sword was even bigger than the balance, but the balance held the sword firmly, and it began to tilt towards Jenkins.
"Oh, I didn't bring a weapon, you won the first round."
The monster on the opposite side didn't even think about it, and said so directly, so Jenkins' sword returned automatically.
"Look, I really won't make things difficult for you."
It continued to use that sweet, cloying sound, which made Jenkins' headache even worse. The world in his eyes has doubled, and there is a slight buzzing sound in his ears, which is not a good sign.
"But I have to win at least one game, don't I? I'm also a decent person."
As it said so, its thick fingers flicked lightly, and all twelve rings landed on the tray of the balance. It was supposed to be a ring, but when it fell into the scales it turned into a shiny coin. The shape and size of the coin made Jenkins feel very familiar.
"Twelve Sin Coins—Ring of Doom. It's your turn."
It seems to be very sure that Jenkins will never come out with so many sin coins. In fact, this is true. The last time Jenkins had 12 sin coins was the last day of last year.
"Okay, you win."
Jenkins said so, and then reached into his robe to touch the last thing, and the monster outside the door immediately said:
"I have to remind you that while I won't make it hard for you, I also want to win. Oh yes, who doesn't want to win? Everyone wants to win, and I'm no exception, so take out your most valuable things Bar."
The twelve doom rings returned to its fingers. Due to the uncoordinated body proportions, the monster's fingers could only hit its waist, but it still made a thumping sound:
"You have to be careful, sir. If I win, I can go directly to the basement. This is one of the rules of this strange place."
At the same time, the alarm clock behind him giggled again. Jenkins can be sure that the alarm clock and the thing outside the door are the same, and the emergence of this strange situation is by no means an accident.
"So bet with me with the most valuable things, I think you should have some things that you don't even know how to use..."
It's still masking its small purpose, but it's clearly not doing a good enough job of it.
"You mean this?"
Among the things brought from the second floor, including the revived feather brought by the cat, have been used, and now only the empty water glass from the bathroom remains.
"Oh, no no no, I can win this one, I have better water storage tools. In fact, I have accumulated countless special items over the long years, and I just happen to carry them all..."
This sentence contradicts "I don't have any weapons on me", and Jenkins has already guessed why this thing came to the door.
