Chapter 44
Yi Tu felt a little nervous when Hua He noticed something was wrong, but then he regained his composure and said:
"Having human skin cut off and made into playing cards is indeed a bit horrifying. Aren't you scared?"
Huahe stared at him for a few seconds and didn't notice anything unusual.
"It's okay, but this person seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. How did the matter end up being handled?"
Cheng Li put down his chopsticks and said, "After more than ten days, we found no other clues. The body was left there for too long, so we could only cremate it and close the case hastily."
"Where is the human skin card?" Yitu asked.
Cheng Li was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Brother Tu, why are you so curious about the human skin card?"
Yitu answered fluently: "I'm not curious, I'm just worried that it's dirty."
Especially since Cheng Li is a forensic doctor and often deals with corpses.
Although they always say that they believe in science and not ghosts and gods, Jingyuan, who works in real estate, is very averse to the considerations of feng shui.
Cheng Li naturally knew this, "Don't worry, Brother Tu, that thing has been dealt with long ago."
Yitu nodded, but his heart felt much heavier.
Jingyuan, noticing that the atmosphere was not right, brought the topic back to the topic.
He looked at Yi Tu who was eating silently and asked:
"Tuah, what have you been busy with these days?"
Yitu was stunned for a moment, then thought: "Eating, drinking and having fun, anyway, no real work is done."
He did tell the truth. After all, his life could be lost at any time, and he just wanted to be happy for a while.
But Jingyuan and the others obviously didn't believe it.
"Don't come here, kid. You talk about work every other sentence. How can you live in idleness?"
Yitu said helplessly: "Brother, I quit my job."
Now it was Jingyuan's turn to be stunned. After a long while, he frowned and spoke:
"So, what exactly do you want to do? You're clearly doing a good job... Do your uncle and aunt know?"
Yitu shook his head. He hadn't had time to tell his parents about this yet, but he never intended to hide it.
As long as he survives in the gambler's game, money is a useless thing that is easily accessible to him.
JR points can be exchanged for a large amount of money, but money cannot be exchanged for equivalent points.
Players in the gambler's game can only rely on JR points to survive.
Yitu could only say something pretentious that he himself did not want to say:
"I've let it go. I now regard money as dirt. Can you brothers trust me?"
Cheng Li: "..."
Hua He: “….”
Jingyuan smiled: "Don't be so pretentious, who here isn't like that?"
After saying this, the brothers all laughed.
Although his good brothers didn't know what Yi Tu wanted to do, they cared about him and would not interfere too much with his decision.
Ou'er is serious and keeps in touch with her often. Besides, Yitu is already an adult, so they have nothing to worry about.
After the meal, Yitu felt relieved.
He knew that after this meal, his good brothers would never mention his resignation again.
The matter is over.
However, Yi Tu was always worried about the sudden death of the owner of the human skin token that Cheng Li mentioned.
This matter is most likely related to the gambling game.
Before knowing this, Yitu always thought that the reason players could enter the game was because they were selected by the system and issued identity cards.
When a player dies in the card field, his identity card will disappear.
But now, Yitu doesn't think so.
He first found relevant information about the Dongcheng sudden death case on the Internet. It was very short, with only a few simple sentences, and there was not even any picture, and there was no mention of the human skin card at all.
Yitu thought about it and sent a message to Fang Yuxi, but it took a long time for the other end to reply.
[Sorry, Yitu, I don't know if this incident is related to the gambling game. Maybe it's just a coincidence? I haven't heard of any similar incidents.]
Yitu couldn't help but frown, and Judith sat quietly beside him without saying a word.
Yitu opened the game panel and saw the application for dissolution of the spousal relationship at the top, which was still in the cooling-off period.
Ever since leaving the 4 of Clubs field, Judith had submitted this application for dissolution of the spousal relationship to the system.
The same thing happened on Jiang Hanyu's side, and it was submitted to the system by his attendant King David.
The relationship between the two can only be terminated if both parties submit an application for termination of the relationship at the same time and after the cooling-off period.
Only a few days have passed, and the application is still there. There is no definite time for the cooling-off period, and the system seems to be asleep.
During this cooling-off period, if the two people enter the card room at the same time again, their application to terminate the relationship will be immediately rejected.
As a result, even though the intercom rewarded by the system can still be used normally, Yitu does not intend to touch it.
He looked at the contact information someone had left for him below the application information, and his heart moved slightly.
It was already the next morning when Yitu dialed the number Qu Bai left for him.
After the call was connected, a slightly low voice came from the other end, which was completely different from Qu Bai in the card room.
"Hello, who are you?"
Yitu hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said:
"Hello, I'm looking for Qu Bai."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, "Shi Ling?"
"It's me."
"Wait a moment, I'm not in a position to talk here, I'll call you back later."
After Yi Tu responded, Qu Bai hung up the phone.
He originally thought that it would take some time for the person to call back, but who knew that the phone rang while he was just pouring water.
Yi Tu passed through and Qu Bai's voice came.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for a while. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chen Hao, and I am also Qu Bai in the card room."
Yitu paused as he tapped the table. Chen Hao was one of the official members of the Nightingale Team.
On the team rankings that Judith unfolded in front of him, Nightingale was ranked 42nd, and the captain was a high-level player of the Manchukuo level (level 10).
A team without K or Q, or even a J player, can still rank so high among so many powerful teams. There must be something special about it.
You should know that among most of the teams on the list now, players with KQJ cards account for a small half, and the remaining majority are also affiliated with their sub-teams.
Firstly, the number of official members of the team is limited, with a maximum of 12 players on board at the same time. If there are not enough places, only part of the team can be split out.
Secondly, in order to maximize benefits in team competitions, it is common for teams to join forces. Establishing sub-teams can better avoid competition for resources.
The sub-teams exist for the benefit of the main team, and everything is aimed at serving the main team's supply.
If necessary, just give up and make room for the main team, which can also reduce consumption.
But even so, the sub-teams can definitely make a lot of money, and their ranking is right behind the main team.
Yitu took a quick look at the list. The only team he knew about was the Weasel Team where Mucheng was, and its captain was Jack of Diamonds, who was ranked 57th in the Huaxia region.
There are three sub-teams affiliated with the Weasel Team alone.
Despite being ranked low, two teams made it into the top 100.
Not to mention, there are so many teams with king and queen.
However, despite this trend, there are still exceptions.
That is the number one ranked team, Mo Ya, and its captain happened to be Jiang Hanyu, with whom he had severed ties.
Not only did the Demon Fang not have any teams, but the number of players was also very small, only in the single digits.
If these people were not the best among the best, Mo Ya would find it difficult to maintain its number one ranking.
Before Yi Tu could speak on the other end of the phone, Shen Hao whispered "Hello" again.
"I'm here, Mr. Shen." Yi Tu came back to his senses and said, "My name is Yi Tu. It's a bit presumptuous of me to call you this time..."
"You're welcome. It's just that we haven't seen each other for a few days and we've become quite unfamiliar with each other."
Shen Hao smiled faintly from the other end of the phone, and he jokingly said, "Looks like my boyfriend has to come pick me up."
"Wang Xiaolei?" Yi Tu was stunned.
"Yes, he is right next to me. Do you want to chat with him?" Shen Hao asked.
"If he's willing." Yitu also laughed, and then got back to the topic:
"I called this time because, firstly, you asked me to consider the team, and secondly..."
"...Mr. Shen, do you know the second way for players to enter the Gambler's Game?"
A complex look flashed across Yitu's eyes. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Shen Hao said:
"have."
"You encountered it?"
"It wasn't me who met him, but my friend." Yitu said softly.
Shen Hao sighed, "It's a bit complicated. This matter is related to the team."
Yitu couldn't help but frown.
Then Shen Hao told Yi Tu that in addition to the players who were selected by the system and given identity cards and could enter the card room normally, there were also some normal people who were in extreme need of money and would be brought into the card room by some players in an alternative way.
These normal people brought into the card room by players are called card apprentices.
"Card players don't have their own ID cards, and the card room uses ID cards to identify players." Shen Hao said:
"Players who know the tricks will make identity cards for the apprentices. Some use the apprentices' own skin, while others use animal skins."
"Whether it's the former or the latter, the effects are similar. The only difference is the length of time you can enter the card room."
An identity card made from your own skin allows you to enter the card room for a relatively longer period of time and is safer.
Once the identity cards made by card players using animal skins are recognized by the game, they will either die or become unconscious.
"These card players enter the card room almost exclusively for money, the so-called life-threatening money."
"And the players who brought them in were simply aiming for JR points."
Yitu was stunned. "JR points?"
"right."
Shen Hao then told him that because the card player’s identity card information was incomplete, there was not even a complete card surface.
Their identity cards have no numbers or patterns, so there is no way for them to obtain the survival points that players need.
These points will not disappear because their identity cards cannot be stored. Instead, they will be indirectly transferred to the player who brought them into the card room.
"That is to say, some players will bring two or even more followers into the game in order to earn more points."
"As for the life or death of the card player...it doesn't matter." Shen Hao sighed lightly.
It is naturally a good thing for the card players to come out alive, because the players will give them a lot of money they need in return.
Those who are lucky may even avoid the system's recognition and become real players.
After becoming official players, the game will also change their status quo.
Yitu frowned, "What's the relationship between the card apprentice and the team?"
