betting convention

It's been a long time since someone disappeared last time. I don't know if they touched something in a crooked way. This period of time has been safe.

No one disappears anymore, which is good news.

It's just that Chen Zhifei was still a little uneasy.To be honest, they don't even know what the rules of this game are?As for why the two disappearing bankers disappeared, it is still unknown.

Almost all the rooms upstairs and downstairs have been rummaged back and forth. In such a large-scale rummaging, they gradually became more and more difficult.

There are no clues.

Those seemingly strange things gradually lose their flavor when they are spliced ​​together.

For example, a strange-looking painting, an incomprehensible book, a blurry photo, etc. These things seem to hide a lot of secrets just by looking at them.Just put these things together, but found that the bull's head was wrong.

Many speculations were overturned in the end.

They began to consider whether this bet might be like other bets, some stories will not happen until night.

So waited until the sun went down, waited until the dim light in the house was replaced by electric lights, and waited until the dozing old lady went to the kitchen to cook meals for several people.

While the old lady was turning around to pick up the tableware, someone asked in a low voice, "Can I eat this meal?"

Of course, he wasn't questioning whether the meal made by the old lady was a dark dish, because the meal still looked delicious.It's just that what happened on this day made everyone start to have doubts about everything around them, and no one could tell who accidentally touched the elimination mechanism again.

In that case, the precarious sense of security maintained this afternoon will be gone.

The old lady ate very slowly. She chewed and ate the food in front of her slowly, then got up slowly, washed the dishes, and walked slowly to the outermost room on the first floor. It was rare when she opened the door and entered. said a word.

"It's getting late, everyone should go to bed early, you can choose any room in this house, no one lives in it anyway."

After speaking, he closed the door, and there was no sound.

The six people sat at the dining table, and their breathing froze in an environment where no one spoke.

"Say something." Someone couldn't help breaking the silence.

"What are you talking about? I really can't find anything to say." Another person said.

"There is no established plot in this game, not even some haunting incidents that are often heard in other games. The two people disappeared suddenly. The box was guessed to be problematic, but it was later confirmed that the box is actually not a problem." Speaking The person clicked his tongue, "Where did this fucking problem come from?"

A series of questions pointed out that they are almost clueless now, and everyone does not know what to do in the face of the current situation.

"Let's rest first, since we can't find anything, why don't we wait, maybe the main event hasn't been staged yet." Someone said.

Everyone also agreed that according to past experience, if there is no solution during the day, there may be an answer at night.

For the sake of safety, the remaining six people decided to rest together on the second floor, firstly because there are many rooms on the second floor, but because the layout of the second floor is spacious enough.

To put it bluntly, in case something happens, the second floor is a good place to escape.

Chen Zhifei found a room at random. Anyway, there was enough room for them to rest in this gamble.It's just that Chen Zhifei, who was lying on the bed, didn't feel sleepy, and his mind was always thinking about everything that happened since he entered the game.

There are no croupiers, no rules, and this setting is completely higher than all previous gambling games.

It was precisely because of this that he felt clueless.

What was the reason for those two dealers to suddenly disappear?Are there really no rules?Or did the rules actually exist all along, but they just didn't find out?

He thought about what the old lady had said. At first, the old lady said, "It's all here, eat the rice in the pot by yourself." ' Another sentence is 'there are many rooms, choose at will. '

Could these two sentences be a hint?

Chen Zhifei turned over and turned his face to the bedside table. He left the desk lamp on, and the not-so-bright light cast a dim yellow on the ground.These two sentences undoubtedly gave the dealer a lot of authority, as if telling you to treat this place as your own home.

Make this your home...

Does it mean that the dealer can touch anything in this house without danger.

If this is the case, it proves that the two bankers who disappeared before did not disappear because they knocked over the box or the glass box.

What is the reason for the disappearance?

Chen Zhifei was constantly entangled in his mind. He didn't notice that there was a sudden addition of something under the lamp of the bedside table, and this thing appeared quietly, hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention.

After struggling for a long time to no avail, Chen Zhifei noticed this thing that suddenly appeared on the bedside table when he wanted to reach out to turn off the desk lamp.

In an instant, there were some signs of what he was struggling with.

This is the third time he has touched the touch of this box.The first time was in the pen case in the study, the second time was in the glass box in the doll collection room, and the third time is now.

Anything that keeps recurring means it must have played an important role.

Chen Zhifei suddenly thought, if the two disappeared people didn't disappear because they touched the box, could it be because they touched the wrong box, or didn't touch the right box?

In other words, the people who are still in the game are because they have accidentally knocked over the correct box!

All doubts were explained clearly at this moment, and Chen Zhifei completely understood the rules of this game.

Joy welled up in his heart, and he couldn't wait to know what was in the box in his hand.

The first similar box contains pens, the second box is empty, so what could be inside this one?

He opened the box in his hand and found that there was a card inside with a 1/2.

1/2?What's the meaning?

There were more complaints outside the screen, and several people slapped the table and began to swear at each other.

"Fuck! What the hell kind of luck is this?"

"Halve the time of all dealers? Is there still such an operation?"

Ding Bai was also very speechless at this time. Almost at the same time, every banker who was in the game had an extra box. According to the croupier, there may be clues they wrote down in these boxes. in.

Everyone was guessing who would get the message card first, but they didn't expect that Chen Zhifei would issue a card with half the time first.

"I remember reminding that not all the things in the shaker box are useful." The croupier said from the side.

Everyone: "..." But you didn't fucking say that there is such an operation in it!

It was a critical strike at the beginning, and seeing that the time they had gained from opening a bunch of boxes indiscriminately was suddenly halved, the situation that was not very clear at first became even more difficult.

Among them, the least time became 356 minutes, less than six hours.

The few people outside the screen could only pray that the luck of the others would be better. If something with half the time was released, there would be no need to continue this gamble.

On the screen, the rest of the people opened the bedside box one after another. Fortunately, no one issued a card that halved the time. After getting the card, the others turned off the lights without thinking too much.

It was pitch black outside the screen.

"I have a question, if the person who gets the card can't read it, or if he understands it, what if he doesn't tell others?" someone said.

"Yeah, what if he takes it all by himself? After all, there is only one golden flower card."

......

At this moment, people outside the screen began to notice that from the very beginning of this bet, only one couple could make it out alive.

Although the people in the gambling game don't know it, but the group of people who wrote the message card wrote on the message card:

Time, open the box, a golden flower card.

At that time, they thought they had written all the key information in this gamble concisely, but they ignored that when someone got this message card, would the rest of them still have a chance?

For a while, the people at the gaming table either stared at the dark screen in a daze, or pretended to look at it, as if everyone was avoiding this topic.

That night, Chen Zhifei didn't sleep well, and he always felt in a daze that he had missed some important information.

Before dawn, he heard movement downstairs. When he walked out of the room, he met a banker coming down from the third floor. When he saw him, the banker's eyes were flustered and evasive.

Before Chen Zhifei could ask a question, the other party said by himself: "I just heard something moving, it seemed that I was going upstairs, so I went up to have a look..."

Chen Zhifei said with a normal expression, "Did you find anything?"

"No, no..." After quickly saying two nos, the other party changed the subject, "Where are the others?"

"I don't know, I should still be in the room." Chen Zhifei said, and asked the other party, "Did anything strange happen last night?"

"Is there anything strange? I don't seem to have it. I slept like hell." The other party said, walking sideways around Chen Zhifei, "I'll call someone else."

Chen Zhifei stared at the back of the other party leaving, feeling that he was obviously flustered, and looked upstairs, but was attracted by the noise downstairs again.

The old lady downstairs didn't know if she had had enough sleep last night, and she was busy in the kitchen in high spirits. Apart from her, Chen Zhifei didn't notice anyone else on the first floor.

It is estimated that they heard a noise, and people came down one after another. Everyone seemed to have not slept very well, and their faces were full of exhaustion.

"Has everyone come?" Chen Zhifei asked, counting the heads, and there was still one left.

"Come on, I've knocked all the rooms on the second floor." said the dealer I just met.

"No, one person is missing." Chen Zhifei said.

Everyone realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran towards the second floor. They ran into a room and found that no one was in the room, but the shoes were on the floor.

The quilts on the bed were piled up in a mess, obviously someone had slept there.A small box was opened on the bedside table, and the shoes on the floor were placed beside the bed in an orderly manner.

Staring at the open box on the bedside table, Chen Zhifei frowned.

The box was opened, but the person disappeared again.

Shouldn't it disappear after opening the correct box?Why......

Wasn't his guess last night right?

The author has something to say:

Chen Zhifei said: "What the hell are the rules? It's so hard to guess!!!!"
