Chapter 469 Death Game Part 2 (3)
Iku Terao opened the door and found that the inside was not as smoky as he imagined. The room inside was not big, with only one table and four seats. In the center, an old-fashioned chandelier swayed slightly on the ceiling. The mahjong tiles on it had been coded. Three people with different faces sat on chairs and looked towards the door. "Three are missing and one is missing, just wait." "You're gone", the whole room was eerily quiet.
"I miss you so much..." Iku Terao looked at the scene in front of him, and memories of the past slowly emerged in his mind.
Speaking of which, he is also a frequent visitor to various underground casinos and black card games.
But don’t get me wrong, he is not a regular visitor in the conventional sense. Although he goes to those places, he never participates in the gambling games, but only watches from the sidelines.
As a spellcaster whose idol is "The Witch Carrying the Curse", Iku Terao does not use curses to torture others or the undead in order to stimulate the power of the curse in his body, but he also has his own training methods. It means going to a place full of curses and feeling the curse.
The place he chose was undoubtedly one of those dirty and dark illegal underground casinos. He watched with cold eyes as countless people lost their lives in an instant, and then cursed everything crazily. It only takes a moment to feel the gap from heaven to hell, which creates a huge power of resentment and curse. Every time he sees this scene, he can feel that his understanding of the curse has deepened.
——That is not a magic or secret technique. The essence of the curse is just the vicious resentment that has existed since the birth of human beings.
In the casino, his favorite gambling game is naturally mahjong.
Unlike other games in casinos, Mahjong is a game that involves quite intense competition in terms of strategy, skills, psychology, and brainpower besides luck. Four masters are scheming on the card table, and various extremes are involved. The style of play is such that you never know who the winner will be until the last minute. Just watching from the side can feel thrilling.
And the more these people rack their brains and scheming, the more despair and sense of disparity they feel when losing in the end, and the more power Terao Iku can absorb by standing aside.
After arriving in Tokyo, he had watched the card game many times and had already figured out the basic rules, but he had never played it once. Unexpectedly, this time, it was finally his turn to board the card table. .
However, Iku Terao did not regard the card game in front of him as normal gambling.
He walked to the table, pulled out the chair, sat on it, and put the counting sticks as chips into the drawer. The three people finally changed from expressionless to normal.
"Ah... finally another one came, everyone is here." He said to the man at home. This guy was wearing a vest, a neat shirt, a tie, and a meticulously combed back hair. , looks like a dealer in a casino.
The person on the left is an office worker with thick dark circles under his eyes. He looks at the card table with bloodshot eyes and says nothing. Iku Terao has seen this kind of person all too often. He is basically the kind of useless person whose life has been ruined by gambling. , I can't wait to mortgage everything just to get back the money. In the end, the only way is to fall into the abyss.
The one on the right is a yellow-haired gangster holding a cigarette in his mouth. He is tapping the table impatiently and looking around dishonestly.
Although he doesn’t know the true identities of these guys, Terao Iku knows that these people are dead!
To be precise, they are the undead trapped here! Iku Terao could imagine what happened to these people before they died. Their consciousness stayed at the moment before the end of the gambling game, and their minds were filled with the desire to win. They could not think of anything else. Now, they have become the accomplices of this game hall. , helping the arcade to harm the next gambler who strays into it.
“Can we start?” asked the man who looked like a dealer.
Terao Iku nodded: "Let's get started."
The dealer-like man said: "Then, you will be the last one to roll the dice." Terao Iku picked up the two dice in the middle of the table. After weighing it, he threw it out. The dice was spinning in the middle of the table, and finally stopped, deciding where to start the cards.
The four of them were not novices, so they started to get started immediately, coded their own card arrays, and turned out the treasure cards.
Silently looking at his cards, Iku Terao's mind reappeared with the next two pieces of advice given by the mysterious forum netizen "Don't eat seafood."
[The fourth piece of advice: Don’t forget that this is not an ordinary gambling game. As the time spent in the game hall increases, the people inside may forget where they are, and only win or lose in their eyes. Remember what you are here to do. If you forget this, then you will become like the fallen souls inside, lose all your chips, and be trapped in it forever, just like being in an endless hell. Years and months, never be reincarnated. 】
[The fifth piece of advice: When you decide to participate in a gambling game, try to use cheating methods that are not discovered by others. Of course, I am talking about spells or other professional methods, not simply Gambling skills, otherwise you may lose all your pants. As bait, they may let you win or lose a few games at first to pique your interest. But once you get the upper hand, they will use all kinds of shameless tricks that are not concealed at all, and they will stop when they are ready. If you cheat too obviously or win too much, I can't guarantee what will happen to them. 】
Iku Terao played a useless North Wind and placed it in front of him, intending to test it out for a few games to see what happened.
In the rules of Japanese mahjong, there are many restrictions on Hu cards, which are more focused on defense than offense. Therefore, the first few rounds were quite boring under Terao Iku's careful playing of cards, and he did not use anything. It was a cheating method, so except for firing a cannon and being fooled by someone else (the smallest tile type in Japanese mahjong), he basically had nothing to lose.
On the contrary, the other three were fighting back and forth. For a moment, Iku Terao was in a trance, as if he had not come to a supernatural place, but a common place.
At this moment, a new round began. Iku Terao's eyes widened slightly as he touched the cards. After he laid out the cards, three white cards, three fortune cards, and a red card suddenly appeared on his cards. Among the models! The other cards are not far apart, so it's not difficult to get them together.
If he draws another pair of reds, he can form a "Big Three Yuan" card type. This type of card is extremely difficult to come across even in Japanese mahjong. Once you mess up, you will make a lot of money!
"Sure enough, is it here?" Iku Terao kept calm and thought: "Just when I was in a trance, the sweet bait arrived..."
Follow " "Don't eat seafood" is a reminder. There is no luck in the gambling here. If the player feels that he is very lucky, there is only one possibility - that is the illusion deliberately given to you by the game hall. If you fall into this trap, the only thing waiting for the player is to lose everything.
"But...such cards have appeared. If I don't take action, I will be a failure." Iku Terao thought inwardly.
He quietly opened his own finger with his little finger, and a trace of blood flowed like a small snake onto a red fifty thousand in his hand. It was a red treasure card. If there was such a card among the final Hu cards, then The points will be doubled again.
"Fifty thousand." Then, he played the card.
“Eat.” The yellow-haired gangster from the next family’s eyes lit up and he put the card into his bag.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Terao Yu's mouth curved slightly.
