As usual, Mo Shuwan gave Wen Zuo a bottle of recovery potion to drink, but she couldn't take care of Chen Chen and Luo Jin beside her. Under these circumstances, it was already the limit for her to barely keep Wen Zuo alive.
She didn't have much time left to stay, so she could only leave a small cut on Wen Zuo's arm. Actually, she had hesitated in her heart about whether she should go all out and let those guys think that she didn't value Wen Zuo very much. But then she thought about it and realized that when Lin Guai was so determined to choose Wen Zuo, her attitude had already been very clear.
Even if she wanted to make amends now, the passengers who had seen everything would not believe her at all, and might even do something worse to Wen Zuo in order to force her to admit it.
After Mo Shuwan returned to her seat, a new round of gambling began. This time, however, it was different from the last one. Although they were also dealt ten cards, the backs of the face cards of the people who had won the round were no longer completely black.
The backs of these cards have now turned dark gray. Although the color difference is not significant and might even be overlooked without careful observation, how could that be? Most of the people sitting at this gambling table are not simple individuals. How could they not notice such an obvious flaw?
This round was much faster and more difficult than the last. As soon as any of the five members of Mo Shuwan's group had more than five of the fifty dark gray cards in their hand, someone would immediately take them away.
Time passed slowly, and the second round of the game gradually came to an end. The fifty dark gray cards had a significant impact on Mo Shuwan and his group. In the end, only Lin Guaiji won the game, while the other four were new passengers.
This time, Lin Guaiji didn't even stand up. He took the dagger on the table and threw it at a monster. The dagger was firmly stuck in the monster's neck, and it lost all vital signs in less than half a minute.
As Mo Shuwan had expected, another passenger who had gotten the chance walked straight toward Wen Zuo with a dagger. Mo Shuwan pursed her lips, no longer trying to hide her emotions. She saw the other person slashing at Wen Zuo's body with the dagger, seemingly looking for a place to strike. She clenched her fist.
"you--"
"I hope no one will follow the path I have walked."
Interrupted, Mo Shuwan turned to look at the source of the voice, which was Lin Guaiji.
Lin Guaiji leaned back in his chair, looking coldly at the passenger standing in front of Wen Zuo. He sat in a relaxed posture, but everyone present had to admit that this guy gave them a sense of oppression, a real sense of oppression.
Mo Shuwan, who also felt short of breath, looked at Lin Guaiji in surprise.
Just how strong is this person?
Ao Tian was also looking at Lin Guaiji. Seeing that there was no change in his eyes, his gaze darkened.
In contrast to the passengers sitting at the gambling table, the passenger standing in front of Wen Zuo clenched his fist, glared at Wen Zuo fiercely, and slashed Chen Chen next to him with a knife while breathing slightly rapidly. It was unclear whether he was frightened by the strength revealed by Lin Guaiji, but after returning to his seat, he did not even glance at Lin Guaiji.
Later, after Lin Guaiji spoke up, the others thought it over and decided not to use Wen Zuo to threaten Mo Shuwan.
Lin Guaiji and his group are not to be trifled with for the time being, and it seems that they have no other choice but to avoid his sharp edge.
Mo Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lin Guaiji a grateful smile, even though she knew that Lin Guaiji wasn't helping her and Wen Zuo, but rather that he genuinely didn't want others to repeat what he had just done.
He had just obtained a promise from Mo Shuwan through Wen Zuo, but if anyone else tried to use Wen Zuo to get anything from Mo Shuwan, it would be beyond his tolerance.
No, he won't allow it.
Five more bets were played using the same pattern. Including the previous two, Lin Guaiji won a total of seven times, Su Xuan won three times, Zhou Quansheng won four times, Qin Liu won twice, Ao Tian won four times, Mo Shuwan won three times, and everyone else only won once.
Lin Guaiji's strength was not revealed in the first two rounds, but as time went by, he seemed to get bored. His eyes turned into two pupils again, and every time it was his turn to draw, he could accurately draw his own portrait card.
His eyes were truly bizarre. Logically, weapons and other items exchanged from the bus should not be used at the gambling table. Since the rules of the game did not prohibit it, it could only mean that Lin Guaiji's eyes were his own.
Mo Shuwan turned her head and glanced at Lin Guaiji.
What ability did he exchange for?
The reason she had this idea was that the secret manuals she had come into contact with were basically about improving one's physique step by step, or like Yang Zhou and the others, relying on external forces during battle. She had never encountered a secret manual that directly affected a specific part of one's body.
Of course, the bus itself is very mysterious, so it's not surprising that there are some secret manuals that he hasn't seen before. However, Lin Guaiji is clearly only at the difficulty level of the fifth mission world. Where would he get the way to come into contact with those mysterious abilities?
Lin Guaiji's senses were extremely sharp. Although Mo Shuwan glanced at him and immediately looked away, she still felt Lin Guaiji look in her direction.
Mo Shuwan wasn't mistaken; Lin Guaiji was indeed looking at her. However, he quickly looked away and stopped paying attention to the betting game, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to rest.
Lin Guaiji did not open his eyes until the end of the game. Although he did not show any strange reactions, everyone at the table believed that his use of those eyes to see through the face cards had actually taken a heavy toll on him.
Of course, these are all speculations. What is so special about Lin Guaiji's eyes? Apart from himself, anyone else's guesses may be completely wrong.
This is a bonus round; the top five finishers will each receive a special reward. Good luck!
After the long table disappeared, everyone felt a blur before their eyes. When they could see clearly again, they were standing in front of a wall. Looking up, they couldn't see the top at all, and looking to the side, it was all darkness. The only thing they could see was the wall in front of them.
'Countdown begins.'
A giant hourglass appeared in the void in an instant, and the wall in front of them slowly moved. Half a second later, a passage that could only accommodate one person appeared in everyone's sight.
"Hehe, interesting."
Su Xuan, who was closest to the passageway station, stepped inside without hesitation.
This was a bonus round, and the others were naturally unwilling to fall behind, so they all entered the passage. Mo Shuwan wanted to talk to Qin Liu, so she stood still. However, fearing that Qin Liu and the others would go in directly, she kept an eye on them. When she found that they did not intend to go in immediately, she felt relieved.
