I Was Once a Legend

“方片8，黑桃A,黑桃9,红心Q,红桃2，红心4,方片7……”

Cui Zuojing paused when he reached the eighth sheet, and Lin Hangzhi stood beside him, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Six of the first seven cards have hit so far.

There are 54 cards in a deck, and the probability of guessing each card is 54 in [-]. The probability of guessing six consecutive cards is so small that it is almost zero.

"It seems that you are very nervous." Cui Zuojing turned his head to look at him.

Lin Hangzhi's voice was tight: "I feel like I'm going to die."

Cui Zuojing laughed a few times and said, "No, do you want to read the cards behind?"

Lin Hangzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded firmly: "Look! Even if you die, you have to understand. I also want to know how far I can do it."

Cui Zuojing stood up, put the remaining three cards into his pocket, put away the remaining poker on the table, and said: "Then don't read it, okay, this is the end of the test, Mr. Lin Hangzhi, you are very good!" , whether it is you or your ability."

Lin Hangzhi: "Huh? But there are still three cards..."

"Don't worry about them, just pretend they don't exist." Cui Zuojing finished stretching, snapped his fingers, and walked upstairs, "I suggest you take Victor with you these days, and don't go out casually. There is no need to feel guilty if the bad luck affects other people, after all, I asked you to do the experiment, and I am the one to blame."

"Can be branded—"

"It's just time for me to familiarize myself with my abilities again. Don't be afraid, I will cure you." Victor jumped on the table and said to Lin Hangzhi who wanted to know the result.He wrapped his tail around the opponent's wrist, saw the thin calluses on Lin Hangzhi's fingers that were obviously left by the scalpel, and asked, "Are you a doctor?"

"Ah, it used to be." Lin Hangzhi's eyes dimmed, and he clenched his fists to hide the calluses on his hands, and shrugged, "But because of a medical accident, I was fired, and everyone said yes. I left the gauze in the stomach of the patient, but it wasn't really me."

Victor was silent for a few seconds, rubbed Lin Hangzhi's wrist, and said in a low voice: "I used to be a doctor and worked in the Northeast. That day I finished my consultation with the last plus sign in the morning, and it was half an hour before I started the afternoon consultation." Doctor, wanted to squat on the table for a while, but woke up here."

Lin Hangzhi's eyes suddenly became hot when he heard this. Perhaps only his peers can understand the suffering in this industry. He hugged Victor, pursed his lips, and finally said:

"I...was killed by a billboard on my way home from being fired."

Cui Zuojing pushed open the door of Dong Zheng's room, and the man was sitting at the table, holding the tablet with both hands, trying to do something with it relying on his ability.

After ten days of training, he has been able to turn on the tablet and open the application software, but he has never been able to enter the state of the day of awakening.

Fu Zhe taught him some ways to concentrate, but it was not enough. Dong Zheng didn't know the conditions or opportunities needed to sink into the inner world.

"I have tested Lin Hangzhi's ability." Cui Zuojing took out the poker in his pocket and threw it on the table in front of Dong Zheng. Dong Zheng opened them, frowned, and looked up at Cui Zuojing.

All three cards are blank.

Cui Zuojing leaned back on the table, folded his hands on his chest, and said: "It was done on purpose, I didn't dare to make him guess so many, but he guessed six of the other seven correctly, and the moment he said the answer, The retribution happened to him, and Fu Zhe's laboratory was blown up."

Dong Zheng was stunned for a moment, he was concentrating just now and didn't hear the confusion downstairs: "Such a strong side effect?"

Cui Zuojing: "It also proves that this is a very strong ability, doesn't it?"

Dong Zheng nodded: "When you really can't find a clue to unlock something that requires a password, you can directly ask Lin Hang's hands to guess it. It is indeed very useful, but it is not desperate. No matter who you are, you dare not let him easily. Use your abilities."

"Yeah, it would be really fatal if the bad luck starts in the box." Cui Zuojing sat on the edge of the bed and lay on his back, looking at the wall lamp on the ceiling, and whispered to himself, "There is no difference, no lock-in bad luck... ...Can it be used for other purposes?"

Dong Zheng didn't answer him. Cui Zuojing seldom went back to the prisoner's space when he was free. The desires there that could be satisfied arbitrarily did not appeal to him. Some are illusory.

And loneliness.

But staying in the outside world for a long time also makes him easy to get tired, just like now, Dong Zheng can feel that the boy is already a little tired.

He picked up three blank cards, the cards were thinner than the others, presumably Cui Zuojing had scratched off the patterns on them in advance.

But they still have the original color and size.

Dong Zheng wrote joker with a black marker and drew the smiling face of the clown so that they became three little kings.

I don't know if I can count as a miss.

When Shen Mian and Meng came, Cui Zuojing didn't know.

He didn't want to sleep in Dong Zheng's room at all, but no matter what he thought, when he regained consciousness, he was sitting on a chair.

Cui Zuojing immediately realized that he was in a dream. His hands and feet were chained to the armrests and chair legs, unable to move.The boy didn't panic, and quickly looked around. Except for him sitting in a circular area, the rest of the place was hidden in thick darkness.

The dangerous breath is so familiar.

Cui Zuojing breathed calmly and waited patiently. The black mist swam around him, caressing the boy's cheek.

Not long after, four more lights came on from above, illuminating the circular area and the other four people who were tied to chairs.

Cui Zuojing was stunned when he saw those faces he hadn't seen for a long time, and then he couldn't restrain himself and shouted softly: "Victor, Fu Zhe, Luo Yan... Nana?"

A tall Russian man was sitting on Cui Zuojing's left. He was about forty years old, with deep purple eyes and short platinum hair. He turned his head and opened his mouth in surprise, but failed to make any sound. .

The young man with tear moles on the bottom of his eyes sat on the right side of Cui Zuojing, and the hole flute that never left his body was placed on the round table surrounded by five people.On the other side of him, a girl who was only 20 years old stared at Cui Zuojing, showing a tired and depressed smile.

And the woman, whose face was covered by her long hair with her head down, groaned in pain, and finally raised her head, her eyes, which were once burning with enthusiasm and vitality, seemed to have faded, turned gray and lost focus.

"Now that everyone is here, it's time to start our game."

The voice reached Cui Zuojing's ears first, and then, the woman's figure loomed from the mist, with dazzling blond hair coiled up high, a delicate crown on her head, bright eyes and white teeth, and a silvery white dress , like a princess who came out of a fairy tale.

Cui Zuojing suddenly clenched his fists, almost gnawing his teeth.

queen.

The queen gracefully sat down on the remaining chair, raised her eyes and glanced at Cui Zuojing who was sitting opposite her, and didn't care about the young man's ferocious eyes that seemed to swallow her alive, and said softly to everyone with a smile: " Congratulations to all of you who have successfully passed many trials and come before me, and play the last game with me, then you can make your wishes come true."

With a wave of her slender hand, the chains that bound everyone were broken apart, and a deck of cards appeared in the middle of the round table.

"Let's play a game, my favorite game, everyone draws a card, and the content on that card will be your fate."

No!reject her!

Cui Zuojing yelled desperately, but in the dream, he couldn't control his behavior, so he could only watch Victor stretch out his hand, draw a card and hold it in his hand, and then the carp Nana, Fu Zhe, Luo Yan and others He took one of them all.

Looking down to see the content on the card, Fu Zhe habitually flipped the card upside down on the table. Nana bit her lower lip excitedly to suppress her emotions. Luo Yan took a deep breath and confronted Victor who was sitting opposite her. He glanced at it, but the joy in the corners of his eyes and brows could not be concealed.

Only Cui Zuojing, the cold pierced into the bone marrow.

The queen had a panoramic view of their expressions, and the smile on the plump lips deepened.

"It seems that the results are good." She stretched out her sleeve-wearing hand, took the top card, and said with a smile: "Then, it's up to me now."

Do not! ! !

She flipped the card over.

【reverse】

The tear-stained clown and the smiling clown faced each other on both sides of the card. The moment the card was revealed to everyone, countless chains suddenly pierced out from the darkness behind them, imprisoning all five of them firmly on the chairs!

The arms, legs, torso, and neck were all locked tightly, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless, and the cold iron chains exuded a rusty bitterness.Nana's card floated out of her hand and stopped in front of her. The flames on the card turned into ashes, and the word [strength] turned into [weakness].

An eye patch covered with ferocious spikes appeared from the darkness, and tightly bound her eyes amidst the scream of the pond carp Nana.

"Aaaaaaaaaaa!"

Blood immediately ran down her cheeks.

[Vitality] turned into [Desolation].

The nail-studded mouthpiece was forcibly stuffed into Victor's mouth, and the ropes on both sides were tied up to the back of his head, blood was drawn on his cheeks, and his head was fixed, forcing Victor to open his mouth to the extreme.

The nail pierced his cheek, and with every painful gasp, bright red blood foam overflowed from the corner of his lips.

[Freedom] becomes [Prisoner].

The chain strangled Fu Zhe's neck, completely immobilizing his head. Two high-speed drills appeared from both sides and approached slowly. Amidst the ear-piercing sound of the engine, they penetrated into Fu Zhe's ears!

Blood spurted.

Wake up!

Cui Zuojing yelled desperately, but it was useless. This too real dream was like a giant hand in the abyss, holding him tightly in the palm, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

【Future】turned into 【bubble】.

Countless black giant worms crawled out from the ground, carrying a foul-smelling liquid, crawling all over her body along Luo Yin's feet, climbing up her terrified face, and mercilessly getting into her nasal cavity.

No no no no!

Cui Zuojing's card slowly floated up, and the ink of the word "Hope" slowly changed.

He struggled with all his strength, but he didn't realize that at some point, he could already control the body in the dream.

The queen smiled gracefully, her whole body was as white as a shining angel, everyone's crying and screaming, blood everywhere, gathered into her favorite thing.

【despair】

"Do not--!!!"

The moment the cards finally changed completely, amid Cui Zuojing's heart-piercing roar, the chair under him suddenly shattered.

The young man grabbed the burning card, with heavy chains on his limbs, jumped onto the table with one hand, aimed at the queen's slender neck, and swung the card with all his might!

But one second before the murder weapon with increased strength touched the delicate skin, the card burned completely in his hand, leaving only a gray streak on the side of the queen's neck.

The chains jumped out of the darkness, binding his hands that were about to attack again, Cui Zuojing fell and knelt on the table, tears of anger poured out of his eyes.

Victor, Fu Zhe, Luo Yun, and Nana the pond carp were soaked in blood, and they didn't make a sound.

"It's your turn."

The queen stood up gracefully, raised her hand to lift Cui Zuojing's chin, and pressed her other hand on the boy's left chest, and said with a satisfied smile, "A brave heart."

Cui Zuojing opened his mouth suddenly, bit her hand fiercely, his canine teeth pierced the skin, and the smell of blood——

Snapped--!

"You stained my clothes." The queen stared at the bloody tooth marks on the back of her hand, a drop of blood fell on her skirt, and a red rose fell out.

The gloomy smile finally replaced her decent smile, and she slapped Cui Zuojing again.Another slap.

Blood slowly flowed from the corners of the young man's lips, nostrils and ears. Cui Zuojing coughed twice and spit out a bloody tooth.

Countless hands stretched out from all directions, grabbed Cui Zuojing, and pulled towards his heart.

I still... haven't lost!

Cui Zuojing held the tooth in his hand and threw it at the queen.The sharp claws pierced his skin and pierced his heart, and the pain blurred his vision.

But he still stared at the woman in front of him.

A blurry figure appeared behind the queen, and the next moment, the tip of the knife pierced her chest, and blood bloomed on the white dress.

The queen's eyes widened in disbelief, and her lips moved slightly, but she could not make any sound after all. The long knife cut off, and the beautiful and noble head rolled down on the table, and fell to the ground with a grunt.

Blood sprayed on Cui Zuojing's face.hot.

He stared blankly at the group of fuzzy figures that suddenly appeared, and at the last moment, he vaguely heard Luo Yin's voice ringing in his ears:

"You are the last hope."

Cui Zuojing suddenly opened his eyes.

Dong Zhengzheng was leaning over with one hand propped on the bed, as if he wanted to look down at him, and leaned very close.Suddenly meeting Cui Zuojing's terrified eyes, the man suddenly stopped, paused for two seconds, and straightened up with frowns.

"Suddenly you started yelling."

Dong Zheng paused before he could speak, and pointed to his face, Cui Zuojing raised his hand to touch it blankly, his face was full of tears.

Cui Zuojing took a deep breath and wiped his face carelessly with the back of his hand. Dong Zheng handed him a towel and asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Thank you." Cui Zuojing took the towel and dried his face, and noticed that Dong Zheng looked at him strangely.

"What?"

Cui Zuojing's black eyelashes were wet, his eye sockets and the tip of his nose were flushed from crying, the things in the dream had impacted him so strongly that he couldn't control his voice hoarse when he spoke now.

The young man's appearance is so confusing that Dong Zheng really wants to comfort him, no matter what method he uses.

Immediately, he thought of something, laughed at himself, and finally said, "This is the first time I see you showing such an expression, I'm just... a little strange."
