Chapter 167 Gambler
Luo Xi was stunned.
He thought the other party was a set 'NPC', a scene employee who could only speak fixed dialogues, a poor wither.
But what the other party just said was very strange.
That tone was obviously from someone who knew him.
Like Teacher Han?
Maybe it’s also a ‘memory fragment’ that I once arranged?
Luo Xi stopped and approached the grid again.
"What do you call me?"
"Just a plaid man. Anyway, you failed this time and you won't remember it next time. You have to ask me again."
This is horrifying to hear.
Luo Xi blurted out a question almost immediately.
"How many times have I been here?"
To be honest, when asking this question, Luo Xi was beating a drum in his heart.
Since he stopped taking medicine, he has become confident. That kind of confidence comes from his bones. He believes that he can cope with all challenges.
But according to the grid man, it may not be his first time here.
In other words, I came before as a memory collector, but failed and became an amnesiac again, which is equivalent to being thrown into reincarnation and starting over.
This means that I have failed too, more than once.
"A few times means nothing to you, because you only remember this one time, but I remember all the damn ones. Do you know, this is a kind of torture for me, in this In a dark place, trapped in a grid, my body is torn apart and completely divided into these one hundred and fifty grids. Do you think this feels good? "
After hearing this, even if It was Luo Xi, and his scalp was numb.
These one hundred and fifty grids are actually filled with different body tissues of one person?
And this person is not dead yet. Not only is he not dead, but he still remembers everything. It may have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of cycle days.
This is simply torture.
The most horrific and desperate torture.
Luo Xi was curious as to why this person was not crazy.
"You must be thinking, why am I not crazy? Haha, because you keep lying to me, but I believe your lies every time. You said that you would take us away from this ghost place, but you keep They are all failing, you.”
Suddenly, the checkered man stopped talking.
The other party seems to be very emotional, at the critical point of explosion and depression.
Like water about to boil.
It is about to boil and roll violently.
In the end, all the emotions that were about to explode calmed down with a sigh, just like turning off the fire and the water in the kettle could no longer boil.
“Let’s go, it’s coming!”
The plaid man said.
Luo Xi sensed the danger almost at the same time, but in the darkness, he was unable to react promptly and correctly.
This resulted in a hand grabbing his wrist.
There's that hand again.
But this time, there were two more hands. In addition to grabbing Luo Xi's wrist, one grabbed Luo Xi's neck, and the other grabbed his clothes.
Obviously he wants to drag Luo Xi away.
For this kind of weird arm, other methods are useless. The only effective thing is the [Soul-Calling Bell].
So at this moment Luo Xi rang the bell without hesitation.
Ring ring ring!
The three hands retracted immediately. At the same time, something huge seemed to be crawling quickly not far away. The sound and movement were reminiscent of some kind of huge insect.
It’s a spider.
Grid Man said that since the other party has been here for so long, he must know the true origin of the strange hand hidden in the darkness.
However, human palms and spiders, these two things seem to be incomparable. If they are forcibly fused, no matter what the final product is, it will be something extremely weird.
The moment Luo Xi rang the bell, he felt intense pain.
It was as if someone pressed a burning coal on his back.
The severe pain that burned his skin made Luo Xi's complexion change, and he almost immediately reached out to touch his back.
But it came up empty.
The back is intact, the clothes are normal, and the skin is fine, but the burning pain has not reduced at all.
"It's a curse!"
The description of this prop [Soul-taking Bell] has been very clear. Every time you shake this bell, it will frighten the evil spirits and weirdness, and at the same time, it will also add a curse to yourself.
The last time it was a weird whisper that disturbed the mind, this time it was a direct burning curse, and the pain was unbearable.
Luo Xi struggled through the pain, but even so, his back was still burning. The real feeling of pain and burning made him break out in a cold sweat, and his whole body became a lot weaker because of it.
The rustling sounds all around are approaching again, and the sense of crisis is like an approaching sword, which makes people scared.
"Leave, staying any longer is just a waste of time." The checkered man's voice sounded.
Leave?
The way to leave from the Lightless Land is actually very simple.
Just release a light source.
It seems that leaving is the only option. The pillar hidden in the darkness must be very difficult to deal with. It is even invincible at this stage. Even the [Soul-Calling Bell] can only repel it for a moment, and listen to Sound, this is a huge spider with many arms. Without the [Soul-Calling Bell], Luo Xi would not be able to get rid of the opponent at all.
Luo Xi brought a light source.
A lighter.
I brought it from home, the kind that cost one yuan a piece in the store.
Luo Xi has already taken out the lighter.
However, he did not use it immediately. Instead, he rushed to the wall full of grids based on his feeling, and said to that side: "Yes!"
After saying that, a huge dark wind hit behind him, and that The spider is probably close at hand.
The next moment, Luo Xi used a lighter.
Crack!
Weak flames jumped out, and the faint light immediately illuminated the surroundings, allowing Luo Xi to see a huge and terrifying monster behind him in an instant. It was a creature with many halflings on its back. Spiders, the arms of those halflings are surprisingly long, like hair, there are hundreds of them, each one is more than ten meters long, flying all over the sky at the moment.
Surrounded by a gloomy Buddhist courtyard, walled houses, main halls and pagodas, you can vaguely see three big bells in the distance, standing in the courtyard over there.
A clock?
It turns out to be here!
This picture just flashed by, and in the next moment, all of it disappeared before our eyes.
In its place is a different environment.
In the distance, there seems to be another wall with the same grid. There is a light source over there, and three people are standing there. In addition, there is an illusory ghost, which is eerie and terrifying, but after experiencing the previous From the perspective of Luo Xi, what was happening in front of him was really childish.
The level of terror is less than one-tenth that of that big spider.
Luo Xi's appearance naturally attracted the attention of several people over there.
The illusory ghost smiled: "Another one? Do you want to join in and have a gamble? It's fun, and if you win, you can get a lot of useful cards."
This ghost talks in a glib tone.
Luo Xi walked over.
It was not because of this ghost solicitation, but because he looked at Lin Qiqi, and the other two people were the poisonous scorpion and the mystic.
Seeing Luo Xi, Lin Qiqi, who was holding a flashlight, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, she had encountered dangers that were difficult to deal with before, and could only escape from the lightless place by turning on the flashlight.
The poisonous scorpion and the mystic were also staring at Luo Xi. Their reactions were different. The poisonous scorpion had disdain and ferocity in its eyes. The hostility and malice were undisguised, while the mystic was indifferent. Smiling, with a touch of weird playfulness on his face.
Lin Qiqi said nothing and just smiled at Luo Xi.
Everyone knows what is going on in this situation now.
Poisonous Scorpion and Mystic Master failed to plot against Lin Qiqi last time. They are planning to make a comeback, but maybe the two people’s targets are not just Lin Qiqi, but also Luo Xi.
Coincidentally, Luo Xi and Lin Qiqi will not let these two people go.
That is, each other has the intention and plan to completely 'annihilate' the other party.
At this time, it depends on who is more powerful, which is the so-called brave man who meets on a narrow road wins.
It's just a rule in Youzuo Temple that you can't do anything directly, so you can only use the settings and rules here to calculate the opponent.
That phantom-like ghost should be, whether it was chosen by Lin Qiqi or the other party, this ghost must have special value.
"What do you call it?" Luo Xi looked at the phantom ghost.
“My name is Gambling Ghost. After I appear, all the memory collectors I see must participate in my gambling game. So just now I asked you whether you want to join, but I was actually teasing you. , because you have no choice." The scary ghost had a proud smile on his face.
She actually acted cute.
"What kind of bet?" Luo Xi knew why Lin Qiqi didn't say anything, because whether he said it or not, he couldn't stay out of it.
What's more, Luo Xi didn't intend to stay out of the matter.
The future is full of despair and uncertainty, but this is what fascinates Luo Xi.
If he wants to go further, he must take every step steadily.
Staying grounded in the present is key.
"It's very simple. We just played a game and everyone had a good time, right?" The gambler is very good at stirring up the atmosphere, but no one responds to it.
It's not embarrassing either, keep explaining.
“The rules are like this, I am the dealer, and you four are the players. I have one hundred number cards here, corresponding to one hundred numbers from 1 to 100. When the gambling game starts, I will randomly start from this one. Five numbers are drawn from the hundred number cards. Of course, these are hidden cards. You don’t know it except me. I will put these five number cards back into the deck. Next, there will be a total of five rounds of betting. In each round you can bet and choose 1 digital card. Note that the bet The thing is [memory]. Of course, if you don’t have [memory], you can exchange it with me. My exchange price is very reasonable."
"Every round, I will compare the sum of the numbers in your hand with mine. The total number of the number, if one of you exceeds, then bust the card, this person is out, until the end of the five rounds of card selection, finally see whose number is closest to my number, who is the winner, if everyone busts the card, then, the winner It’s me!”
"In addition, there is a possibility that someone just picked the same number as me, or the sum of the five numbers is the same as mine. Then, in the first possibility, this person can directly get 9 times the bet, and the other The player must pay 9 times the bet. The second possibility is to get 4 times the bet, which must also be paid by other players. "
The rules are indeed very simple, but in fact the maneuverability is also difficult. Very big.
“When choosing digital cards, if I like one and someone else also likes this one, then who gets it?” Luo Xi asked.
"Simple, the one with the highest price gets it. You can add bets at this time. That is to say, the one with the highest bet in each round can choose the digital card first." The gambler smiled.
“Got it!”
Luo Xi nodded. At this time, he walked over and took a look at Lin Qiqi.
“Have you played a game yet?”
Lin Qiqi nodded.
"Did you lose?"
"Yeah!" continued to nod.
"Normally, if there are two of them and you alone, your chances of winning are doubled, but don't worry, now that I'm here, you won't lose again!"
