Chapter 251 Half Past Ten
When Rocky opened his eyes and saw the scene before him, which had only happened once but had left a deep impression in his heart, he almost jumped in fright.
"Fuck, why again..."
He paused mid-sentence.
Because Rocky found that this time was different from the last time. In addition to him and Ulu, there were actually two other people around him.
...This guy is recruiting new people?!
"Don't worry, Mr. Thumb." Bai Wei said slowly, "I know you will be excited to see me again, but we should at least let these two new guests know what the situation is, right?"
The two newcomers were also shocked.
You have to know that they were still doing their own things in the real world the previous second, and the next second they were unreasonably dragged to this place.
...So, what is this place?
The two of them observed their surroundings very vigilantly.
The first thing that caught my eye was the rotten old tree that almost dominated the entire field of vision.
Although it is rotten, many new buds have already grown on its branches, as if it would be reborn at any time, and is swaying gently in the wind that blows from nowhere.
And under the ancient tree are them, the four people sitting at the stone table.
So they naturally turned their attention to Bai Wei, who spoke first.
A body with an unclear face, like a phantom made up of black mist, with only two faintly glowing parts that resembled a solid entity.
They are the middle finger of the left hand and the left eye.
Could it be...
They thought of something and immediately looked at the other phantom that Bai Wei called Mr. "Thumb".
The opponent's right thumb was glowing. Even though he tried his best to cover it up and even hid his hand between his legs, it was of no use because his entire body except for his thumb was translucent, which made the upright glowing body between his legs even more dazzling.
Finally they looked at each other.
One is a slender ring finger.
Another,
It's a tooth.
Finally, they looked at their bodies. The woman with the ring finger only needed to look down at her right hand, while the man with the teeth needed to rely on the reflection of the water in the potted plant on the stone table to confirm.
But it was confirmed after all.
Those who come here are all holders of corpse parts.
"Haha, it seems that the two newcomers have good receptive abilities." Bai Wei said happily, "Unlike Mr. Thumb, who was very noisy when he first came and gave me a headache."
"Let your mother go..." Rocky subconsciously wanted to curse, but he held it back.
Because he had thought about it after he went back last time, he realized that the most important thing in this place is disguise.
Once people knew my real identity and the corresponding body parts, it would be very dangerous.
This would be the same even if he was the Archbishop of the Rhine, after all, Corey's precedent was right in front of him.
Therefore, he must not let his personal style become too strong. He must remain calm and restrained, and he must suppress the urge to greet Ulu's entire family.
"What's going on here?" The tooth owner finally spoke. It was unclear whether it was natural or fake. His voice was very hoarse and made people feel uncomfortable. "Can you explain it a little?"
The ring finger didn't say anything, but was obviously waiting for an answer.
"Of course." Bai Wei said with a smile, "But before that, let's first figure out how to address each other. I have already communicated with Mr. Thumb last time. You can just call me Hand Eye, and I will call you Ms. Ring Finger, and..."
Bai Wei looked at the other man's sparkling teeth.
"Mr. Fang?"
Front Teeth was silent for a while.
"casual."
…
Afterwards, Bai Wei gave a brief explanation of what happened here, still using the same words he had told Rocky before.
After hearing this, although Front Tooth and Ring Finger had no expression on their faces, they were deeply shocked in their hearts.
"The Kingdom of God of Visas", "A game with rules as the stakes", and Bai Wei, the "mysterious man" who already owns two corpses.
Although Bai Wei was not mysterious in Rocky's eyes, he was still a little surprised, because the entire Rhine upper class believed that Bai Wei already had at least three body parts.
But as of now, he still only has hands and eyes.
...Then who is this guy that Shengyin and Rhine are jointly hunting down?
Rocky really wanted to know the answer, but he couldn't ask directly, and he couldn't even have the slightest hint of curiosity, because if he wasn't controlled well, this guy Uru would definitely realize that he was a high-ranking official of Rhine, and then there would be no way to continue the conversation here.
After all, Ulu, who currently possesses two pieces of corpse, seems to be the most powerful person in Taoyuan Township.
His only advantage is that he knows Uru's identity, but Uru doesn't know his identity, so he is in the dark.
and……
Rocky looked at his ring finger and front teeth.
If he thought about it carefully, he didn't necessarily have to target Uru in this place. After all, the entire Rhine had already set its sights on Uru, and the Devourers had already been sent out. Uru wouldn't be able to live for long, and Uru's body parts would definitely not fall into his hands.
So why didn't he turn his target to these two people?
The last time he came, Bai Wei took advantage of his lack of knowledge of this place and severely cheated him.
So this time, he can use a similar method to trick these two.
There are rules for the corpses of these two people too!
When Rocky thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
And when Bai Wei asked, "Why don't we try it too?" Rocky smiled.
Then he heard the silent ring finger slowly speak: "What I want to know is, did you use the power of corpses in the game you played last time?"
Rocky's smile froze.
Bai Wei looked at Ms. Wu Ring Finger with great interest: "How did you know that?"
"That's obvious." The ring finger said calmly, "If this is really Visas' kingdom of God, then Visas' power should be usable."
Rocky's face darkened.
Men Ya also sneered at the side: "Don't treat people as fools."
Rocky's face turned even darker.
"Haha, it seems that you two are indeed smart people." Bai Wei said with a smile, "Yes, in Taoyuan Township, the only power that can be effective is Visas's power, because here only corpses are real, and we are all fake."
Seeing that Bai Wei admitted it, Wu Mingzhi spoke again: "In that case, I won't play any games with you. Although I don't know what specific rules you have, my rules are useless in such a game. I can't beat you."
Menya also nodded slightly, and sneered again and repeated: "Don't treat people as fools."
Rocky didn't say anything, but his face was already too dark to look at.
If it weren't for the fact that no one in Taoyuan Township could see his face clearly, he would have wanted to leave by now.
…But then again, he didn't even know how to leave.
Thinking of this, Rocky became even angrier.
However, Bai Wei did not show any displeasure at all after being rejected, and still looked cheerful.
"I understand your concerns." Bai Wei said, "But we can avoid this situation, because Taoyuan Township itself is a higher-level existence than Visas' corpse. We can use it to formulate new rules."
"New rules?" asked Wumingzhi. "How to do it?"
"Just swear an oath to Taoyuan Township."
Bai Wei took the lead and demonstrated. He placed his hand on the potted plant in front of him and then spoke softly.
"Great Taoyuan Township, I will swear with my hands and my eyes. In the coming time, I promise not to use the power of my hands and eyes, I promise not to use lies, and I promise to follow all the established rules of the game... Please witness it."
The moment the words fell, the shadows of the trees under his feet swayed, as if the ancient trees behind him were responding to Bai Wei.
Under the gaze of everyone, the light in Bai Wei's left eye and fingers dimmed little by little, and they turned into spots of light, like flying fireflies, leaping into the sky.
"...Is that all?" Rocky looked at Bai Wei suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you're fooling me again?"
"If you don't believe it, why don't you try it yourself?" Bai Wei shrugged. "You can swear not to lie instead of sealing the rules. Of course, if you don't want to try it, that's fine. Just leave. I'll try to recruit others next time."
The three of them exchanged glances.
It is impossible to leave.
After all, as they possess the body parts of Visas, they know better than ordinary people how powerful Visas' body parts are.
If they left like this, there was a high possibility that they would never come into contact with the next corpse in their lifetime.
So after thinking for a moment, the three of them reached out to the potted plant.
They did not hand over the body parts immediately, but instead swore an oath to stop lying, as Bai Wei suggested.
After Taoyuan Township responded one by one, Bai Wei smiled and said, "Okay, now you can try to see if you can lie."
"How should I try?"
"Just make up a lie and see if you can tell it."
Make up a lie?
Rocky looked at the potted plant in front of him, thought for a while, and then spoke slowly.
"I like……"
The conversation stopped here.
It was as if an invisible force had sealed his mouth, preventing him from uttering the word "woman" no matter what.
…It’s actually true!
Rocky's heart was filled with horror. He raised his head and looked at the ancient tree again.
Is this Visas' kingdom of God?
Even though he has been dead for a thousand years, he can still do this.
I really can’t imagine what kind of existence Visas would be like if he were still alive.
Not only Rocky was shocked, but also his ring finger and front teeth.
The two also did similar tests, and neither of them could tell a lie from their mouths, as if Taoyuan Township had really erased lies.
"How is it?" Bai Wei looked at the three people with a smile, "Can we try it now?"
At this point, the three of them really had no reason to refuse.
Only Rocky was still angry.
Why the hell didn't he do this last time?
This damn guy is only trying to trick me, right?
Rocky stared at Bai Wei viciously, thinking that sooner or later he would kill him.
Wu Mingzhi looked at Bai Wei: "I want to know what game is being played?"
"Don't worry, it's not complicated and doesn't require any technical skills. It just requires a little bit of luck and... a little bit of gambling." Bai Wei said with a smile.
Rocky said coldly: "Isn't it just rolling the dice? Why do you make it so complicated?"
...roll the dice?
The ring finger and front tooth were a little surprised. They obviously didn't expect that the game used to gamble for such important items as Visas' body parts would be so ordinary... and down-to-earth.
"No, no, no, last time we rolled the dice, but this time it's different." Bai Wei shook his finger. "Rolling the dice still relies too much on luck. We need more gambling, so..."
Bai Wei knocked on the stone table.
A stack of exquisite cards appeared in front of everyone.
Bai Wei picked up the cards and turned them over. Fifty-four cards were neatly displayed in front of everyone.
"The game we are going to play is called..."
Bai Wei said with a smile.
"Half past ten."
…
Although it was a game they had never heard of, the rules were so simple that the three of them understood it in less than a minute.
Simply put, it's a comparison of size.
Each player has a hole card, one to ten correspond to the corresponding points, and the other face cards correspond to half a point. But the points are not fixed, players can ask for more face cards, and the final points are added up, and the one with the larger points wins.
However, no matter how you add up the points, the maximum is half past ten. If you exceed this point, you will be directly judged as a loser.
Therefore, it is very risky to rashly add points without knowing the opponent's hidden cards.
After understanding the rules, the three corpse holders couldn't help but become nervous.
Only Bai Wei remained calm and composed, looking at ease.
"How?" Bai Wei asked with a smile, "If there is no problem, please offer the rules like I did."
The three of them exchanged glances again.
But it was of no use because everyone's bodies were illusory and they couldn't see each other's faces at all.
Rocky was hesitating whether to give himself a thumbs up and a BUFF before handing over the rules.
But the question is... does [Disturbance] increase luck?
He really doesn't know.
But before he could make up his mind, Bai Wei spoke again leisurely.
"Mr. Thumb, your [Disturbance] is very useful, so please don't use it."
Rocky's expression froze. He subconsciously raised his head and found that the other two people were looking at him.
Damn it! I almost forgot that this damn Uru had already used his [Disturbance] and knew what the rules were, so it would be difficult for him to steal the chicken again.
...But why! After this guy cheated last time, he came to block his way? !
What a damn bastard!
Rocky was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he could only endure it and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'm not that dirty, unlike some people."
"Oh, right, right." Bai Wei said with a smile, "So can we start? It's almost time to deal the cards."
Rocky took several deep breaths before he barely suppressed the urge to overturn the table. Together with the other two, he promised Taoyuan Township to seal up the [Disturbance].
But after seeing the light of the thumb dim, Rocky felt even more annoyed and uneasy.
Soon, four hidden cards fell in front of everyone.
Before the three of them were ready to look at the cards, Bai Wei seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Ah, I almost forgot, we still need a dealer."
"… Banker?"
"Yes, the players just need to compete with the dealer." Bai Wei briefly explained the identity of the dealer, and then said with a smile, "I propose that I be the dealer."
Rocky said coldly: "Why? You don't think we are fools? Do you think we can't see that you want to defeat three people at the same time?"
"The dealer does have a chance to win three people at the same time, but he may also lose three people at the same time. I suggested that I be the dealer because I have the most chips." Bai Wei said leisurely, "Otherwise, Mr. Thumb, if you become the dealer and lose... can you divide your finger into three and give it away?"
The corners of Rocky's mouth twitched.
"But you only have two sets of rules." The ring finger said calmly, "What if you lose all of them?"
"It's simple. I have another piece of information to share."
"What kind of intelligence can compare to the rules?"
"Body parts."
Bai Wei said with a smile.
"Someone took the tongue and the ears. I know who he is and where he is."
Hearing this, the expressions of the three people changed.
"How is it?" Bai Wei seemed to have guessed everyone's reaction and said with a smile, "Can we start now?"
