"Hey! I've won four games. I only need to win one more and I'll win!"

"Wow! Is this M letter card about to change hands?" Miss Sika Deer couldn't help but stretch her neck and look at the person sitting opposite Mingyue.

At this time, the crowd was boiling again.

The red fox masked man looked at the black wolf beside him and asked in a low voice: "What will happen if you lose the letter name tag?"

Akai Hide kept staring at Mingyue and shook his head gently, "I don't know."

The red fox masked man thought that what Black Wolf said was true. He glanced at the sleeping Ooka Momiji and muttered to himself, "It would be great if we could transfer it privately."

"I think the brand name is not just for game advancement, it may also be a symbol of power or status. If you lose it, bad things might happen." Akai Shuichi expressed his speculation and narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering why Mingyue was playing the game. What was her purpose?

The red fox masked man was slightly stunned, "Is that what you think?"

"There must be some rules we don't understand. Although it is related to game advancement, the letter brand must be more than that to attract so many people." Akai Shuichi crossed his arms and looked at the increasing number of people around Mingyue. He felt uneasy and glanced at Scotland's location, ready to wait and see.

"She's about to lose, aren't you going over?" The red fox masked man listened to the excited cheers from the crowd and reminded them in a friendly way, thinking what would have happened to them if the gray rabbit hadn't attracted everyone's attention? The wound on his body was still aching.

Shuichi Akai pursed his lips and stared at Mingyue in the crowd without saying a word.

Sitting opposite Mingyue was a man in a black tuxedo and an owl mask. He looked polite. At this time, the owl man handed the JOKER card he had just drawn to Mingyue, with the corners of his mouth curled up, looking determined to win.

Mingyue did not take the cards handed to her by the other party as she did before. Instead, she looked at Zhuozi and said calmly, "I suspect he is cheating."

The owl man suppressed his displeasure and smiled very gentlemanly, "Ms. Gray Rabbit, are you afraid of losing this game, so you accuse me of cheating? After all, without the brand name, there will be no privileges."

Zhuozi wanted to go forward and check the JOKER card, but was stopped by the Owl Man.

"Miss Gray Rabbit, if I didn't cheat, how are you going to compensate me?" The Owl Man looked Mingyue up and down, turning the JOKER card in his hand, looking calm and nonchalant, and continued, "How about, let me make you into a doll."

Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "Didn't you cheat?"

The Owl Man stood up from his seat and held up the JOKER in his hand to show everyone, "There is no mark on this card, how can it be cheating?" The Owl Man looked down at Mingyue, "This game is completely based on luck. Winning you is just a matter of probability. Don't you agree that this is a fair game?"

Miss Sika Deer, who was sitting at the bar, smacked her lips and said, "This puts pressure on Gray Rabbit. If Gray Rabbit admits that the game is fair, then those who discover the different scoring probabilities will naturally stand up. If they admit that the game depends on luck, then even if Owl wins, she will have nothing to say and can only admit defeat."

"Who is that owl?" A curious person came up to Miss Sika Deer and asked.

"In fact, I didn't know who he was at first, but after he said something like turning people into dolls, I roughly knew who he was." Miss Sika Deer took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly, "He is not an easy person to deal with."

"Stop being so pretentious and tell me!"

"I only know that the cops call him..." Miss Sika Deer paused for a moment and whispered five words, "The Evil Puppet Master."

"hiss!"

After hearing this, several people around gasped.

"He is actually the evil puppeteer who likes to make beautiful people into dolls?!"

"It is said that he is wanted by many countries, yet he dares to show up here!"

Someone in the crowd sneered, "Why doesn't he dare to show up here? If he becomes the final winner and gets the help of the Kiriken family, what will those cops mean to him? Don't tell me you didn't come to this cruise ship with this mentality."

"Hey, I just want to make some money. How dare I compare myself with a big shot like him who uses all his money to make money?"

"Shh! Be quiet. I can't hear what's being said in there." Miss Sika Deer stared at Miss Gray Rabbit and Mr. Owl in the crowd with curiosity.

Mingyue calmly looked at the evil puppeteer who stood up as if to prove his innocence. She couldn't help but admire the elegance of his every move. Looking around at the people around her, as expected, no one stood up to speak for him. Most people were just watching.

"You voluntarily chose to play this game with me. I didn't force anyone. The rules of the game were announced at the beginning. If you don't agree, you don't have to participate. Since you have participated, you should agree to the rules of the game." Mingyue's lips curled slightly, "If you cheat, then your life will be mine."

The Owl Man stared at the Gray Rabbit, his heart pounding. "Hey, how do you prove that I cheated? Everyone can see the card in my hand!" Then, the Owl Man handed the JOKER to Zhuo Zi, "Check it out."

Zhuo Zi took it and examined it. This card was naturally the one at the beginning of the game, and there was no trace of anything on it.

"You naturally wouldn't mark it on JOKER, but on that one." Mingyue pointed to the bag on the table.

A bead of sweat hung on the cheek beneath the owl mask.

Zhuozi picked up the pocket on the table, took out the double-backed cards inside and examined them carefully. As expected, there was a small gap on the edge of the playing cards, which seemed to be scratched by a fingernail. It was faintly visible to the naked eye, but if you touch it with your fingertips, you can easily find the difference between the two playing cards inside.

"After inspection, Mr. Owl cheated." Zhuo Zi announced the conclusion, "Now Mr. Owl's life belongs to Miss Gray Rabbit."

"I..." The Owl Man gritted his teeth in anger, thinking that he had done it perfectly, but he was still seen through. He was very unconvinced and began to plan how to kill the gray rabbit in front of him.

Mingyue tilted her head and waited for a long time, but nothing came of it. She asked with a little confusion, "Why? Are you not convinced? I know very well what you did~"

The owl man sat down elegantly opposite Mingyue again. "It's rare to meet a girl as cute as you. By the way, I have a few dolls similar to you in my inventory. Do you want them? There are irreparable marks on the playing cards. This game should be over. If it's not over, the next one can easily get the letter name tag from you."

Zhuo Zi handed two cards to Ming Yue, "If Miss Gray Rabbit wants to continue the game, I can go and see if there are any similar cards."

"Not for now." After saying that, Mingyue scratched the JOKER card with her fingernails, leaving the same mark as on the double-back card.

The Owl Man sneered, "It seems that I was the one who exposed the information. If you say that the traces were forged by you, it would be very easy to slander me. Unfortunately, I didn't think of it at the time."

"I'm sorry, from the next round onwards, I will no longer touch the poker cards. I will let Zhuozi do everything. I'll also add another rule: the life of anyone who cheats will be mine." Mingyue looked at Zhuozi, "Let's continue the game."

The elegant owl man slowly stood up and looked at the gray rabbit in surprise and suspicion.

A discordant voice came from the crowd, "Why not kill someone? Cut off the owl's head!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man who had spoken just now licking his scarlet lips with a look of disappointment. The bloody scene he expected did not appear.

"When are you going to take my life?" The Owl Man said calmly, as if he was talking about someone else instead of himself. "Take it if you want. I will not surrender to you."

Mingyue propped her head on her hand and looked at the Owl Man, "Those exquisite dolls of yours are missing a part."

The Owl Man paused as he was leaving and turned to look at the Gray Rabbit.

People around started talking.

"What kind of riddle are they talking about?" someone asked Miss Sika Deer.

However, Miss Sika Deer shook her head. All she knew was what the police had announced. From the current situation, Gray Rabbit seemed to have more information. However, it was normal for a serial killer to take some of the victim's things and keep them. So Miss Sika Deer thought that Gray Rabbit was trying to trick her, but from the owl's behavior, Gray Rabbit guessed right again.

"If I take your life now, then she..."

"I don't know what you are talking about." The Owl Man interrupted Mingyue and squeezed out of the crowd with a cold face.

This made many people more certain that Gray Rabbit had something on this evil puppeteer.

Mingyue didn't care because someone was already sitting in front of her, but this time it was Zhuozi who shuffled the cards and put them into the bag.

Zhuo Zi felt the pressure, and she couldn't understand why Gray Rabbit would give this matter to her. Ming Yue, however, counted the property she won in the previous rounds without paying attention to anyone else.

Piles of chips piled up like a hill beside Mingyue were quite enviable.

After a long time, the sky outside the window began to turn pale, but the game continued. The people around Mingyue had gone from excitement to numbness, until another cheater appeared.

He took advantage of the fact that the cards in the bag were not checked and replaced the double-backed card with another JOKER card. However, this crude trick was seen through by Zhuo Zi at the beginning of its implementation.

However, this cheater was not an elegant gentleman evil puppeteer. The moment he was caught cheating, he jumped up and swung his fist, ready to kill the skinny gray rabbit in front of him.

Seeing that Mingyue was about to be killed by the giant fist, Bourbon, who could not guarantee that Zhuozi would save Mingyue, was ready to take action. When he was about to push through the crowd and squeeze in, an old hand was placed on Bourbon's shoulder.

"Young man, don't play this game. You can't win."

Bourbon ignored the other person and tried to break free, but the old man's hand held his shoulder tightly. Fortunately, Zhuo Zi directly shot the cheater to death.

The warm blood sprayed all over the onlookers nearby.

"Young man, it's a good thing I caught you, otherwise your clothes would be in trouble." The old man patted Bourbon's shoulder and extended a hand to Bourbon, as if asking for credit and a tip.

Bourbon finally looked the old man who had deceived him squarely in the face. Thinking about what had just happened, he felt that the old man seemed to be trying to stop him from approaching Mingyue. "Old man..."

"Hmm?" The old man shook his hand.

Bourbon took out two chips from his pocket and put them in the old man's hand, then took out three more chips, "Old man, can you chat with me for a few minutes?"

However, in Bourbon's eyes, the old man, who valued money more than anything else, took the two chips, turned around and left, ignoring the three chips in Bourbon's hand.

"Old man!" Bourbon followed him out of the crowd.

The old man's legs were not very agile, so he walked very slowly. He glanced at Bourbon who was following him and whispered, "Young man, I know what you want to ask, but some things cannot be said."

However, Mingyue's game is still going on.

As more and more people joined, people around her began to speculate more and more about the true identity of the girl wearing the gray rabbit mask. Because every time someone won four games, Miss Gray Rabbit would report a date or a strange place, or a name that no one had ever heard of, and then the lucky winner would directly admit defeat, leaving everyone confused.
