Chapter 488 The Secret Hidden by the Joker (We've reached a million words!)



In the third round, after the old man drew five cards, he sighed slightly and then laid all five cards out.

This is the moment Lin Zhi has been waiting for!

If the old man has a card of the same suit or rank as the Joker, he can hide some of the cards, which will result in Lin Zhi having incomplete information in this round!

Even after five rounds, they might not be able to guess the real Joker!

The real explosive information comes when he reveals all five cards!

These five cards are—

Ace of Spades, 8 of Hearts, 6 of Spades, Queen of Spades, 5 of Diamonds!

Lin Zhi almost burst out laughing. Even though there were three spades among the five cards, there were still three different suits!

Since five cards have been shown, it means there are absolutely no jokers among them! This directly confirms that the jokers are clubs!

Lin Zhi recalled the cards from the previous two rounds. The club suits had all been revealed, but considering the hidden suits, all suits should have appeared.

Similarly, the numbers 1, 8, 6, 12, and 5 can also be eliminated directly. The information revealed in just this one round is enough for Lin Zhi to eliminate more than half of the numbers!

Because a club appeared in the first round as well, but it only covered one card, this proves that none of the points that appeared in the first round were the points of the Joker!

The numbers 11, 2, 7, and 13 were also excluded.

Therefore, Lin Zhi quickly identified the range of the Joker!

Plum blossom 3, plum blossom 4, plum blossom 5, plum blossom 9, plum blossom 10!

The Joker must be among these five cards! There are still two rounds left. If all five cards can be revealed again, that would be ideal. Even if not, it will at least further narrow down the possibilities!

In the fourth round, the old man put one card down and revealed four cards.

In other words, in this round of five cards, only one suit and rank is the same as the Joker.

9 of clubs, 7 of hearts, 10 of diamonds, 5 of hearts!

There's a plum blossom? Lin Zhi was delighted, but why didn't the old man cover up the plum blossom 9? Covering up the plum blossom would make it easier for her to make a mistake!

There's no reason why the old man wouldn't do it.

Oh...right!

He can only cover one card! Is it possible that there are two clubs among the five cards in this round, and he simply can't cover them all? If he wants this card, he can't take care of that one, and if he takes care of that one, he can't cover this one!

The other club card is definitely one of the five suspected jokers, hahaha! Lin Zhi secretly gave herself a thumbs up; her luck was too good! It was like the answer had been delivered right to her!

Since there is a club in this round, it means that all the points that appear in this round are different from the joker. The numbers 9, 7, 10, and 5 are directly eliminated!

In other words, the only cards that are suspected to be jokers are the 3 of clubs and the 4 of clubs!

Even if the last round doesn't reveal any useful information, it's just a true/false question for Lin Zhi. With a 1/2 chance of being right, there's still a good chance he'll guess correctly!

"bring it on!"

Lin Zhi looked at the old man with full confidence.

The old man remained expressionless, but took out five more cards from the remaining deck, and then revealed three of them to Lin Zhi.

Three cards...

That means there's an overlap in both the points and suits in this round. Lin Zhi looked at the three cards that had been revealed and laughed in exasperation.

The three and four of clubs lay quietly on the table. The old man didn't even bother to hide them; he just left the two cards there.

It's telling you that since both cards are in this round, both suit and rank will definitely trigger simultaneously. As for which card it is, you can choose for yourself.

Lin Zhi looked at the two cards, Jiang Ran looked at Lin Zhi, and then activated [Wheel of Fortune]!

She's guaranteed to draw the right card from these two!

It's less of a test and more of a gamble, because depending on the cards revealed in each round, you might quickly pinpoint the direction of the joker, or you might be completely clueless.

Lin Zhi was already considered lucky. If it were someone else, with slightly less luck, it wouldn't be as simple as choosing between two options.

"I choose the 3 of Clubs!" Lin Zhi looked at the old man and gave her final answer!

The old man looked into her eyes, and then, for the first time, smiled.

"I'm sorry, your answer is wrong. The Joker is not the 3 of Clubs."

"Ah... I didn't guess the last step correctly!"

Lin Zhi grabbed her hair, lamenting that her luck had failed at the last step. Jiang Ran also felt something was strange, but it was just a guess on a number, there was no reason why the Wheel of Fortune would fail, right?

"Which card is the Joker?" Jiang Ran stared at the old man. "Even if she lost, she should at least tell us the correct answer, right?"

Lin Zhi was a little confused. Why did Jiang Ran ask that? If it wasn't the 3 of Clubs, then it must be the 4 of Clubs. It was just a simple choice between two options.

However, the old man's answer was completely unexpected!

"The Joker is the 3 of Diamonds."

"Huh? What did you say?!"

The Joker isn't the 3 of Clubs or the 4 of Clubs, but the 3 of Diamonds?!

What kind of operation is this?!

"You, you, you!" Lin Zhi angrily pointed at the old man, "You cheated! The joker couldn't be the 3 of diamonds!"

The five cards revealed in the third round are the Ace of Spades, the 8 of Hearts, the 6 of Spades, the Queen of Spades, and the 5 of Diamonds. In this round, no card has the same suit or rank as the Joker, but there is a 5 of Diamonds among them!
