Chapter 1092 Twenty-Four Hours (9)

Lone lamp, round table, war.

Cards, scarlet, and a smile covered in shadow under the light.

At this moment, in the lounge of the Stone Essence Pavilion, Huai Shi lowered his head in a dull manner, looking at a handful of cards in his hand that were dyed with four strange colors, and heard a voice coming from beside him.

"It's your turn, Huaishi."

With such words, around the round table, faces covered in scarlet raised their heads and looked in his direction.

smiling.

It's like being sentenced to death.

Huai Shi closed her eyes and swallowed the foam in despair.

After a brief period of hustle and bustle.

No more happiness.

.

The original plan was so perfect.

After Huai Shi tried his best to think hard and meditate, he got the only correct solution from countless roads leading to despair - everyone ate hot pot, sang songs, and spent a beautiful night together.

But the night was really beautiful.

Very happy too.

Everyone drank happily under the sumptuous food and drink, enjoying the banquet, relaxed and happy, as if there was no haze in the whole world.

Unfortunately... there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.

No matter how good the meal is, there is a time when it is finished.

What's more, as the seniors competed fiercely with each other, many people had already left the party in the middle of the banquet.

As they politely bid farewell one by one, the originally bustling Stone Essence Hall gradually returned to silence.

It's like when the tide recedes, the hidden rocks emerge from the water.

When the cabin in the forest ignored the teacher's pleading look and dragged his girlfriend away, Yuan Yuan also politely picked up Anna and left. So, in the warm and comfortable lounge, only the visitors staying here tonight...were left.

The night is getting darker.

Huai Shi also felt that her bones were getting colder.

Under the gaze.

"It's very late." Huai Shi coughed dryly: "Well, it's time to rest..."

"Yes, if you don't sleep well late, it will hurt your skin." Luo Xian supported her chin and nodded, agreeing: "However, staying up late occasionally can be very interesting."

Showing no signs of fatigue.

Be in high spirits.

Although he had drunk so much wine, he didn't seem to be drunk at all.

Maybe it's some of Huaishi's unknown orchard stunt, taking advantage of the alcohol without paying attention, or something like that...

"I still have a part of the observation report that I haven't finished writing. Please just do what you want and don't worry about me." Ai Qing lowered her head and continued writing on the tablet, her movements smooth and calm.

Wasn’t it all done in the afternoon?

Huai Shi's heart twitched. There are only eight hundred words in total. Your efficiency can't be more than ten minutes at most!

Uncle Fang came in with a smile and brought the coffee pot, placed it gently beside her, and then left without any sense of existence, as if he didn't notice his young master's pleading look for help.

"Travel, games, the games we play at night are very interesting."

Lily held the handle and her eyes wandered: "I want to play for a while longer."

This is a lie!

At the border of the dark web, where all information and programs converge, as the current defender and a human being born as the spirit of events, Lily herself is created by integrating all the essence and strengths of the three hosts DM, KP, and ST. As a successful creator, I have seen countless modules and rules, so I may be so addicted to the story of killing and killing in the western wilderness.

In this brief silence, Huai Shi, who was sitting on pins and needles, heard the scratching sound of the second hand.

If the good brother hadn't gone to wash up, he might have been tempted to run away now... Yes, run away! There is so much work in the Ivory Tower, Huaishi, how can you bear the vice principal working overtime alone!

Work!

Work makes me happy!

The lineage of the Kingdom of Heaven has not yet been revitalized, and the Utopia has not yet been rebuilt, how can you sleep!

Just when he made up his mind to go to the office to stay up late tonight, he heard the brisk and bright footsteps approaching outside the lounge, and his heart suddenly sank.

Immediately afterwards, there was a slight sound of the door being pushed open.

Fu Yi, who was still covered in moisture, had already poked her head in. Her freshly dried hair was scattered on her shoulders, looking particularly beautiful. After taking a look inside the room, Huai Shi showed a surprised smile that made Huai Shi's heart sink to the bottom.

"Ah, what a coincidence, everyone is awake."

As if by magic, she took out a pack of cards from her pocket and enthusiastically suggested: "Why don't we play UNO together!"

Before Huai Shi could jump up to object, Luo Xian nodded as if he was moved.

"Huh?" she exclaimed, "Is it a card game? It seems very interesting!"

"I, I can do this!" Lily raised her hand in surprise.

Huai Shi swallowed and looked at Ai Qing subconsciously, hoping that the cold, serious and unhuman prosecutor would be able to reject such a child's trick, and it would be better to criticize it twice.

But when Ai Qing finished writing the paragraph at hand and slowly raised her head, she seemed to be interested: "I haven't played for a long time since college. I really miss it."

She thought for a moment and nodded: "Count me in."

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

Huai Shi coughed crazily, trying hard to show a serious attitude and refuse clearly.

'Look at who in this room is not the pillar of the current situation, who is not the confidant of the Astronomical Society', 'You are addicted to games, and people outside will start killing people and setting fires. If you play cards here, the Endless Sea may start. Let’s start a league! ’, ‘My Sword of Disaster’s heart is going to be broken! ’, ‘Think about the old crooked neck tree outside Shizui Museum’…

But before he could say the high-sounding words, Fu Yi smoothed his hair as if inadvertently, and another box popped out of his breast pocket.

You can vaguely see the title above.

[The truth is bold...]

Snapped!

"It's UNO!"

Huai Shi slapped the table as if she was being electrocuted, her eyes widened: "I really like UNO! I am the one who is called the little prince of UNO in the Tower of Ivory!"

And when the time passed to two hours later, he looked at the pile of cards in his hand.

Tears will be shed.

"It's your turn to play, Huai Shi, hurry up." Luo Xian on the opposite side urged.

As for Huaishi, she glanced at her next player. Ai Qing, who was calm, tentatively grabbed a yellow card with her fingers, hesitated again, and grabbed a red card. Finally, with trembling palms, she handed out a blue card. Card:

"Is this one okay?"

Ai Qing glanced calmly and threw out a blue card.

Next, Luo Xian.

Luo Xian's smile became more and more cheerful, and she threw out a [+4] that made Huai Shi's eyes darken!

The nightmare-like big carousel begins again!

As a card game, UNO has very simple rules, even just a few sentences. The cards are divided into four colors, each with a different number. Just play the same color card or the same number as the previous one. If you can't play, you draw a card. The first person to play all the cards is the winner.

However, there are also mixed cards such as color-changing cards that can change color, [+2] and [+4] cards that allow the next player to draw more cards if the next player cannot follow, and even reversal cards that can reverse the order of playing cards, etc. wait.

Sometimes after two rounds, the +4 cards may be added to +20 or more, until an unlucky guy can no longer follow and exhausts the card library in tears.

All I can say is that it is an excellent product that tests friendship and family ties.

Especially, when Luo Xian's proposal is not exciting enough, you can increase the amount. The final loser must use a marker to draw a few strokes on his face... the battle situation will become more tense and terrifying!

The most direct result was that Huai Shi's face was completely covered with various weird graffiti with red markers, which even extended to her neck and arms.

His face was as red as blood.

Let the tears become particularly sad.

There was no way, Ai Qing was in the upper house, Lily was in the lower house, and on the opposite side there was the fun-loving person Fu Yi who was throwing all kinds of prop cards crazily, while Luo Xian was full of fighting spirit and was adding cards like crazy...

No matter who encounters this situation, he will burst into tears.

Why does this happen?

The first time I have someone who can be a lifelong friend, the second time I have someone who can be a lifelong friend, the third time I have someone who can be a lifelong friend, and the fourth time I have someone who can be a lifelong friend... Four Happy things come together.

And these four joys bring more happiness to yourself. What we got was supposed to be a happy time like a dream... But why did it become like this...

Now, everyone seems happy except Huaishi.

Just be happy.

With tears in his eyes, he ate the [+14] card, and silently removed most of the card library again. The extra cards in his hand piled up like a mountain.

"UNO." After Ai Qing threw out a red card, she announced that she had only the last card left.

From the beginning to now, in six rounds of the game, she has never lost a game. Every time he is either the first or the second person to reveal all his cards.

This kind of simple mathematical problem is combined with President Ai's superhuman intuition and analytical ability. The victory is just a matter of success.

On the other hand, Luo Xian's face had been daubed several times.

The senior sister's way of playing cards is just like when she is fighting, fierce and straightforward, full of pressure, often making people breathless. When holding a large stack of cards in her hand, she can completely wipe out the cards in two turns. Moreover, when the trend is favorable, he will throw away prop cards and increase the amount crazily, which can be called the creator of bombs on the card table. However, even though his combat awareness is very keen and his talent is astonishing, he always overturns in unexpected places. As a result, he is sometimes knocked down from a sure win to a complete failure by unexpected prop cards.

Apart from Huai Shi, the one who lost the most... was Lily.

Logically speaking, as a long-time host, you should be able to play this kind of game with ease. It's fucking outrageous that a creator who specializes in game manipulation can lose in this kind of game.

However, she was sitting next to Huai Shi...

Sometimes, even if he has a good hand of cards, when he sees the pile of cards in Huai Shi's hand, he will always hesitate to play. Often when Huaishi falls into headwinds, her expression becomes firm and serious, almost saying "Don't be afraid, Mr. Huaishi, I will protect you!" 】Written on the face...

It's a pity that others will not be merciful, and in the end, they will often be dragged into the water by Huai Shi.

And even after losing so many times, the girl still stubbornly tried to protect her best friend. She was defeated again and again, and Huai Shi was so moved that she couldn't help but shed tears.

When he looked at Fu Yi, who was all happy across the table, he was about to shed tears.

From the beginning of the game to now, she seems to have never had any outstanding performance. She draws cards very ordinary, plays cards very ordinary, and then throws out all the cards very ordinary.

Never the first, nor the second, but often the third or fourth. After narrowly escaping the final punishment, Huai Shi and others were left to begin the final competition.

And she calmly applauded and cheered beside her.

It's like a phantom hiding in the blind spot of everyone's attention, devoid of threat and not very lethal. Even most of the time, when everyone is targeting Ai Qing, who only has the last card left, they tend to ignore that the cards in her hand are gradually decreasing...

Even if you deliberately target someone, often after two or three rounds, your attention will be diverted to other people.

What the hell do you call a silent person?

No, maybe even the real Silent One doesn't have such a terrifying passive ability.

After all, there are no ordinary people on this table. There is no prosecutor with the protection matrix of the Astronomical Society, the Demon Dragon Princess who has mastered countless extreme thoughts and terrifying destructive power, or even the Creator who specializes in the manipulation of events. Anyone who can manipulate the mind And the power to modify consciousness will be detected at the first moment, leaving no room for mischief.

If you think about it in a scary way, maybe the atmosphere and direction were under her control from the beginning? The experience of the atmosphere, the observation of micro-expressions, and even the cold reading of style profiling and coordination detection...

Is this someone else’s child?

Huai Shi is almost dying of envy.

But it seems that even she will fall over sometimes.

Just when the sky was about to break, she seemed to be in a trance due to the fatigue of a night of hard work. She lost the chance to escape and instead received a +16 card.

In the end, Huai Shi made a dangerous comeback and fell into last place.

"Oops, miscalculated."

Looking at the last five cards in his hand, Fu Yi regretfully threw them into the pile and sighed angrily: "I should have been more cruel just now and put out the reversal cards."

"If you lose, you lose!"

Huai Shi grabbed the marker and snorted, smiling happier than anyone else: "Hurry up and put your face over here, I'll give you a BUFF!"

"I want you to take revenge as soon as you get a chance. Why don't you be so small-minded?"

Fu Yi shook his head, as if he had already known about Huai Shi's petty attitude. He lifted up his hair and leaned forward: "But after all, he is an old classmate. Can you give me a chance to at least let me choose a pattern?"

"Haha." Huai Shi sneered: "Okay, you choose, whether it's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" or "The Last Supper", I'll paint it for you!"

"Don't bother, you can't draw it well anyway. I just want the simplest one——"

Fu Yi came closer, looked into his eyes, and suddenly said: "Just draw a heart."

She smiled and added: "The red one."

In that moment, silence spread.

In the gaze he cast, Huai Shi's marker stagnated in mid-air, trembling.

Under the calm surface, the tears in my heart have gathered into an ocean.

Goodbye, world, goodbye, everything.
