Survivorship Bias

Chapter 112: Royal game

Views:

"A request?" Huang Mao was unprepared. Zhou Yijue hadn't said in advance that the members of this team would make requests, so he was at a loss for a while, so he had to ask first, "What request?"

The man in front of him was tall and handsome, he was obviously smiling, and he looked very decent, but the details of his expression always showed a chill full of oppression, which was just covered up with a gentle smile.

For some reason, seeing his face, especially those lake-green pupils, Huangmao felt dizzy, as if these eyes were copied into countless pairs, in the air, under the light, on the floor, on the wall, nowhere No, each pair stared straight at him, like the eyes of prey.

A cold feeling climbed up from the tailbone, the handsome face in front of him seemed to be turned into a black shadow, only these eyes were haunting in the darkness.

No, no, why did he seem to have drunk a punishment drink before.

It's all an illusion, it's all an illusion.

Huangmao tried his best to suppress the dizziness and fascination, shook his head, lowered his eyes and asked, "You want us to help you find that child together, right?"

It must be so.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ti shook his head lazily, and said very cruel words in a cheerful tone, "I don't care about children, I hate young creatures the most. If they think that they can blackmail us, they are too naive .”

These words made Brother Chen, who was on the side, feel a little nervous in his heart, he was a little confused for a moment, just now he said that he would change into Wujiu, why did he become Shen Ti now.

But this Shen Ti should also be a powerful character, every time he looks directly into Shen Ti's eyes, he feels very uncomfortable, but he can't describe it.

Shen Ti stared at Huang Mao, who had become a little timid, pursed his dry lips, and smiled.

"It's actually very simple." His green pupils were like a vortex that could suck people into it, but the yellow hair didn't look at it, so Shen Ti reached out and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look up and look at himself.

"In a game with five players, our team will have two players."

"Two?" Huang Mao licked his lips in a panic.

Zhou Yijue had told him that in this game, the red team must send one person into the game, but now there are two.

He immediately made amends, trying to change Shen Ti's mind, "If, if there are two people, how can we be divided into a group? Only the king and the king can..."

Shen Ti's chuckle interrupted his words, and the crystal red coral earrings swayed under the light.

He let go, and leaned over to Huang Mao's side and whispered in a low voice, "It's easy to handle. Let's not be emperors, but rebels, isn't it good?"

An Wujiu stared at Shen Ti's every move, seeing that he was so intimate with a messenger, his heart seemed to sink a few inches, into his chest.

"Understood?" Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, and sent him away, "Go and tell your captain, I'll wait for your reply."

The other party listened, nodded twice, and then left quickly, as if something dangerous was chasing him, An Wujiu felt strange, felt that this person had changed since Shen Ti spoke to him.

"He seems to be very afraid of you." After Huang Mao left, An Wujiu said to Shen Ti.

Facing An Wujiu, Shen Ti changed back to that gag look, "Is that so? I have nothing to fear, it's just that he has a guilty conscience."

Brother Chen hurriedly asked again, "Captain, should we hurry up and rescue the kid now?"

"Of course we need to be rescued." An Wujiu's expression was as usual, extremely calm, "But we can't let them know that we need first aid."

Todo Sakura on the side frowned, looked around the hall, didn't know if she didn't look, but after a closer look, she found that many pairs of eyes in the hall seemed to be aiming at them intentionally or unintentionally.

"How?" Brother Chen asked.

An Wujiu rolled his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "There is no place to hide in the hall, the first floor is the exchange area, people come and go, they won't hide people there, the most likely place is the third floor, the nine A private room, Brother Chen, don’t go, just stay here and gamble.”

After he finished his analysis, he looked up at Brother Chen, "You said earlier that you played for others in the casino, so you should understand, right?"

Brother Chen nodded, "It's okay, mainly Texas Hold'em."

"Then go gamble, bet on me." An Wujiu said decisively.

"This..." Brother Chen showed embarrassment.

"If you're worried, put less pressure on the first round." He looked at Brother Chen with earnest eyes, "I'll leave this project to you, if you can get us some extra bargaining chips, that would be great."

Brother Chen felt that there was a burden on his shoulders, but the trust and respect in An Wujiu's eyes made him feel warmer than ever.

"I will try my best."

Seeing Brother Chen leave, An Wujiu turned her face away, before she could say anything, Fujido Sakura said, "I'll go find it." She raised her hand, and tightened her ponytails.

"You've been targeted." An Wujiu stared at her, but he knew the surrounding situation well, "There are five people in the hall staring at us, you can't leave yet."

He said his conjecture in a slow manner, "If I'm not wrong, Maguire is now holding the chips of the whole team in his hands and threatening them to listen to him. The two kidnapped Noah and took care of her. The rest of the people are keeping an eye on us, and once we go to rescue them, they might do it directly."

Fujido Sakura frowned, "Do it?"

"That's right." An Wujiu said his thoughts, "You can follow the rules that the altar doesn't say. Maguire is a ruthless person. If we go to save Noah with a big fanfare, we will probably die." It aroused his killing intent, because he knew that when we saw our youngest teammate die, we would definitely collapse."

Fujido Sakura understands that An Wujiu is trying to get her, the more she doesn't care, the more the opponent will think that what she took away is just a chess piece that no one cares about.

"Then we don't care?"

"Don't worry." An Wujiu lowered his head and opened his game panel. As expected, in this airship, the function of sending messages between players was blocked.

He told Fujido Sakura, "Now we still have a few teammates who don't know about Noah's kidnapping. We must first let them know, but tell them directly that they are easy to be discovered. If Maguire and the others find out in advance, Noah will be in danger. .”

"Then what to do?"

An Wujiu glanced at Shen Ti.

"That's why Shen Ti agreed to gamble just now. In this way, Maguire will be trapped on the gambling table first. Since he wants to play, we will play with him."

"Then..." Fujido Sakura looked at the two of them, "Then why did he let you go up too? Whoever you go will come with us to find a way to save Noah."

The moment he said those words, Fujido Sakura suddenly understood.

"I understand, you want to completely let go of his vigilance!" She looked stunned, "Yeah, the king is the first to catch the thief, he thinks you are the backbone of our team, even you are trapped in the game, how can you Kung fu to save a child."

An Wujiu raised the corners of his mouth, Shen Ti saw this smile, and felt a little relieved.

"I understand, I understand." Fujido Sakura looked at An Wujiu again, "When shall we do it?"

An Wujiu answered her, but it was not an answer, "You give me a push."

"What?" Fujido Sakura was a little confused, not understanding what he meant.

"Push me." An Wujiu said as before.

Fujido Sakura didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but felt that her eyes not far away were staring more and more tightly, so she had no choice but to listen to the order, stretched out her hand, and pushed An Wujiu hard.

An Wujiu was pushed away a little by her, and asked her to continue, Fujido Sakura did as she did, and acted incidentally, "Why didn't you save her, she's just a child!"

Shen Ti almost laughed out loud, thinking that the scene was a little overdone.

For the last time, An Wujiu whispered something to Fujido Sakura, then turned and left.

The way he left seemed to be a little angry, and Shen Ti just followed him, and the two didn't communicate.

At the railing on the third floor, a person leaned obliquely above them, and another person stood beside him.

"Go and tell the boss that the people in the red group seem to be at odds, and that Japanese girl is having trouble."

"good."

The passionate classical symphony resounding in the hall matches the decoration very well, but it does not match the activities of the people in the hall. Passing through the crowded gaming tables, the sounds of fierce games and imposing bets can be heard endlessly. Jiu and Shen Ti came to the gambling table of "Royalist".

Zhou Yijue was already leaning against the table at this moment, as if he was specially waiting for them.

"Hello you all."

Shen Ti raised his eyebrows, "Captain Zhou agreed to my request?"

Zhou Yijue smiled, his phoenix eyes slightly curved, looking very friendly.

"Gambling is something that makes people happy. It's not a big requirement to add another person, as long as everyone is happy."

He had a winning expression on his face, as if he had already determined that he could avoid the identity card through his so-called means, and let the three of them become a revolutionary party together.

But he didn't seem to want to say anything, so An Wujiu didn't ask.

Sooner or later he'll figure it out.

Zhou Yijue pressed the red button on the side of the gaming table. This is the player recruitment button. After pressing it, other players who want to join can come in directly.

"Sit down," he said to the two of them.

The seats on this gambling table are also extremely luxurious, red velvet fully upholstered back chairs, exquisite gold-covered chair legs, and the gold edge of the table complement each other.

Such a table is not used for gambling, but more like a negotiating table.

An Wujiu sat down next to Shen Ti, his right hand seat was vacant, but soon a person came, not Maguire, but a beautiful short-haired woman in fur, about thirty years old, There is a strong perfume smell on the body.

"Just in time." She raised her eyelashes with her fingers sideways, smiling like a flower, "Hello, my name is Amy."

Zhou Yijue smiled at her, raised his eyes, "We meet again."

It was Maguire.

He sat between Shen Ti and Zhou Yijue very domineeringly, with a calm expression on his face, it was completely impossible to see that he had done the trick of kidnapping other players' teammates.

There was still a burning cigarette in Maguire's hand, he took a big puff, exhaled an oval smoke ring, and then blew another breath, the smoke ring drifted in the direction of An Wujiu and dissipated halfway .

Grinning, Maguire said with a smile: "It's an honor to be at the table with the beauty."

He seemed to be talking about Amy, but his eyes were fixed on An Wujiu.

Such a cold beauty, I don't know who will smile for her.

How beautiful it would be to lose focus and cry on the bed.

Just as he was thinking, a loud bang pulled Maguire back from his thoughts. His hands shook in fright, and the smoke between his fingers almost fell. He frowned and saw that the source of the sound was the gun on his right hand. Shen Ti. He slapped the gaming table with a slap, but he didn't pick it up while he was still pressing his palm.

Shen Ti raised his head and smiled teasingly at Maguire, "It's such a big bug, it's disturbing."

The smile on his face almost told him brightly—you should be glad that I didn't slap you in the face.

"Bug?" Amy was a little shocked, "Did you get it?"

Shen Ti shrugged, "No, but sooner or later I will kill you."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ti turned his face to An Wujiu, took off his gloves, and showed him his hands, "Look, my hands are all red."

Shen Ti almost brought his hand to An Wujiu's face, he had no choice but to hold it, check it, and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

Shen Ti immediately sat up straight, pretending to be strong, "It will be fine, it will be fine, don't worry."

An Wugui: ...

Seeing this scene, Maguire suffocated in his heart and had nowhere to vent. He simply pressed the cigarette in his hand firmly on the table until the cigarette butt was completely extinguished.

Zhou Yijue leaned on the seat and clasped his hands, "Let's start."

Others agreed, and the croupier who dealt cards for them quickly came to the gaming table. The croupier seemed to be an NPC, wearing a platinum suit and a gorgeous mask. He looked like a man.

With the croupier shuffling the cards, there should always be no way to cheat according to a certain player's ideas.

An Wujiu frowned slightly.

Could it be... Zhou Yijue bought the dealer

The dealer took out four brand-new standard playing cards, picked up one of the piles of cards, held them in his hand, and slid his palm on the table. The piled cards were arranged in sequence, and the suit of each card was properly exposed.

An Wujiu saw the big king and little king in the card row at a glance, they were very conspicuous, and there was really no problem.

The croupier took out the king and the king and showed it to everyone, then took out a pen from his front pocket, bent down, and drew a mark in the center of the cards of the king and the king.

It is a figure similar to the sun.

The two marked cards were shown to the players again. The croupier pinched the corner of the cards with his fingers, shook them slightly, put the cards back into the pile, and began to shuffle the four cards.

The croupier's technique is very skillful, pigeon tail shuffling, Rifru shuffling and a series of dazzling tricks, it is already impossible to target the marked king and king.

Subconsciously, An Wujiu looked at Shen Ti on his left.

Unexpectedly, he happened to see Shen Ti's hands moving at the same frequency at the bottom of the card table, and his movements could almost completely follow.

He has learned so fast.
