Chapter 13 Sequence 9: The Gambler

"Yes, that's right."

Hearing Yago's question, Elsa nodded:

"A person can only take one Sequence 9 potion, and can only continue to use the potion of that sequence afterwards. If the second one is taken, the best result will not have any effect, and the worst result will be death. .”

"will die!?"

Yago's heart stopped slightly.

As a time traveler, as a hacking race, shouldn't there be one or two special abilities according to the usual routine? Special occupation, dual occupation or something?

But these yagos just thought about it in their hearts, it was too risky to try something with their lives.

but

"Elsa, have you ever met someone who had an accident because of using a different potion?"

Yago asked a question.

And Elsa's answer is quite concise:

"Father."

Wait a minute, father, maybe it means .

"right."

Elsa doesn't mind using her father as an example:

"Although my father didn't awaken the blood of silver, he got a potion and took it through some means, and then he got another potion. After taking it, he lost control and kept yelling something. , and then stuck the knife into his own eye"

Elsa didn't continue talking, but Yago also understood that the death scene of his "father" must be terrible.

Afterwards, Elsa stared at Yago with firm eyes:

"I'm telling you this, but I won't force you to join us in the story. If you refuse, I won't force you to do anything. It's just that you have to avoid getting hurt and letting others see your blood. Our blood, even if you don't Extraordinary people are present, and if ordinary people find out, they will also realize our abnormality, and then let us enter the field of vision of Extraordinary forces."

"No matter what choice you make, I will protect you."

Hearing this sentence and seeing the other party's firm expression, Yago opened his mouth, feeling a little sorry.

He is a time traveler. In a sense, he killed the person "Diago Clauredo Fast", stole his account, and took over his identity.

What would happen if the other party knew the truth?

Yago didn't know, he might hate him, or he might do other things.

call.

Forget it, Yago's first thought and goal when he confirmed his time travel was to find a way to return to the original world.

In the original world, with his parents and friends, there are so many entertainment methods, so many games, movies, animations, comics, novels, all kinds of entertainment methods that cannot be given up, and it is safe.

The ordinary world of entertaining to death is much better than this dangerous world where you almost die the next day.

Now, his goal has not changed, the first goal is to go back to the original world.

However, until you find a way to go back, before you go back, let yourself play "Diago Clauredo Fast".

"I will act with you."

Yago breathed out, looked at the "sister" in front of him seriously and said.

He understands very well that since extraordinary power exists, if he wants to go back, he cannot avoid contacting extraordinary power.

It is also inevitable to step into the sequence and get in touch with the extraordinary.

but

It is needless to say which sequence to step into.

gambler.

Use the meditation card in your hand to step into the sequence corresponding to "Gambler".

But how to explain it?

There is.

"Elsa, if you're right, the potion you mentioned, if you're right, I've also taken it—"

"What?"

Room.

Yago, who was lying on his own bed, looked at the bandaged right leg and the small metal balls placed on the bedside chair and in the saucer, feeling dumbfounded.

He fooled Elsa, saying that he had taken the potion, which of course was false.

But he still has the means to step into the sequence.

If not fake.

"Do you know why I brought back these fog crows? My power needs to be used with them."

Using this reason, after asking Old Fanks to help clean the Mist Raven and dry it, Yago limped and returned to his room with the cage.

Looking at the Mist Crow, which was dry but still looked a bit wet, Yago, who was sitting on the bed, stretched out his hand, opened the cage next to the bed, and grabbed it out.

Then, he took out the meditation card that he kept next to him.

A meditation card representing a gambler.

Above the meditation card is a right hand holding six poker cards. From left to right, there are Spades K, Hearts K, Diamonds K, Clubs K, Spades K, and Hearts K.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the meditation card seemed a little different from before.

Jago held the meditation card in his right hand and put it down, staring at the repeated poker cards on it. After thinking for a while, he then took out his wallet and took out the coin with Bacha's face engraved on it.

"Hold the symbol and the meditation card."

After catching a fog crow, according to the instructions on the system, Yago held the meditation card and the somewhat wet fog crow with his right hand, and the meditation card was tightly attached to the fog crow's feathers.

"Then set the outcome of failure and success. Then the front side of the Bacha head is success, the other side is failure, throw the head of Bacha, I take off the top hat, throw the other side, and I unbutton the jacket."

Yago muttered to himself.

Is that all right?

Yago thought uncertainly.

Then, reaching out with his left hand, he grabbed the coin and flicked it up with his thumb.

The coin rotated in the air, fell, and finally presented Bacha's head in front of his eyes.

Front, take off your top hat.

Yago reached out and took off the top hat that was still on his head, and put it aside.

During the whole process, Yago didn't find anything that could be called extraordinary.

With doubts, Yago proceeded to the last step:

"Eat part of the symbol."

Turning his head to look at the Mist Crow, who was clinging to the nondescript meditation card that seemed to have no mass, whether it was plastic or paper, Yago pulled his left hand and tore a piece of wet velvet from the Mist Crow's chest. feather.

"Ah ah!!!"

The Mistcrow let out a shrill and hoarse cry.

A strong sense of stickiness, as if stuck in a quagmire, echoed through Yago's mind with the sound.

In Yago's field of vision, there seemed to be a line connecting the meditation card and the wet down feather in his hand. This line was not a straight line, but drooped on the bed sheet, passing through the bed that fell on the bed. coin.

No, to be precise, it was "ripped out" by the coin.

That line is actually an extremely short line connecting the Meditation card and the wet Mistcrow, a line that was "torn out" and "glued out" by that coin.

The down feathers on the hand are actually connected to the coin rather than the body of the Mist Crow.

At this moment, Yago could see that the pulled out thread was constantly retracting towards the inside of the meditation card.

Be quick.

Yago came up with this judgment.

Resolutely, he stuffed the down feather into his mouth.

hard to swallow.

Despite his determination, his physical instincts made him resist the feathers in his mouth.

If it breaks, terrible things can happen.

The feeling of being stuck in a quagmire became stronger and stronger, and Yago wasn't sure what would happen in the end, but he didn't want to know.

If I knew I was going to eat something, I mixed the feathers with the food and swallowed it together.

Such thoughts emerged in Yago's mind.

Then, swallow it.

No, to be precise, it melted.

With doubts, Yago turned his head and looked at the Mist Crow and...

The meditation card, is disappearing.

From left to right, hearts K, spades K, clubs K, diamonds K, hearts K, spades K, disappear one by one.

The meditation card is also gradually fading, from bottom to top, from the finger to the palm, until it disappears from Yago's hand.

fail? No.

He was sure he hadn't failed because
