Chapter 457: Means of Conveying Information, Genius Conception

The fifth card was dealt to Zao, and Lin Yu saw clearly what it was.

It was a "4 of Clubs".

"There is no straight flush now, but it seems that there may be a straight."

Fern laughed jokingly.

"We are not playing Texas Hold'em."

Zao said helplessly.

Because he had already taken all five cards, although the open cards were still not broken, Zao still could not take any more cards.

Lin Yu had also completely confirmed one thing, Zao and Fern must be cheating.

After all, Zao's card-taking strategy was too strange - the strangeness here does not refer to his behavior of taking all five cards.

From the ending, if Zao's hole cards were A, 2, and 3, it can be fully explained.

But as Lin Yu had doubts before...

If that was really the case, why did he hesitate when he took the second card?

This is unreasonable.

But if we make such an assumption: based on the existence of the hole card exchange link, then suppose Zao's hesitation was thinking and struggling whether he should exchange his hole cards?

What if he knew the cards in the hands of others, or was communicating at that time?

So Zao was not struggling to calculate the benefits of continuing to take cards with his current hand, but to decide whether to exchange cards.

"So, they have a way to exchange cards. Fern and Zao... no, even Fern, Zao, and Moss may have exchanged cards with each other."

"They have some kind of conventional code for communication... That's right, after all, there is a 'cheater' among the three."

Lin Yu's mind was thinking quickly.

The three of them were cheating, which was a good thing and a bad thing for him.

From the good side, as long as he also integrated into the cheating of the three people and cracked their cheating methods to achieve four people cheating, with Er's observation ability as a 'detective', he should soon realize that they were cheating.

When Er found out that he and the other three were cheating at the same frequency, he would naturally further confirm the fact that he and they were the same kind.

But from the bad side, it is not easy to achieve this.

Lin Yu must see through the cheating method before Ershi, and it would be best if he could know the secret of their mutual communication before the end of this round - and he must do this without making a sound.

He cannot ask or test, and must act as if he already knows this method.

"First of all, this is definitely not their usual method. After all, they are different personalities of the same person. This is probably the first time they have separated in a dream and need to communicate with secret codes."

"So, this should be the method used by the "cheater" Fern and other accomplices or temporary accomplices when setting up the scam, but the other two personalities also know this set of methods, so they can use it directly now."

"To meet this condition, this method must be universal, hidden, and regular."

Lin Yu thought quickly.

Ershi over there had finished Zao's card-taking session and looked at Tai.

"Do you want to take a card?"

In front of him was a K and a T card with a score of 10.

Tai did not answer.

But in Lin Yu's opinion, the probability that the other party would not take it was very high.

If Tai doesn't take it, his time will be very tight - now that they have to figure out their secrets before the end of this round, there will only be time for Ershi to take the cards.

Moreover, they should vote to exchange the cards at that time.

"It's better to join before the vote."

Lin Yu thought slowly, recalling everyone's actions from the time he got the cards in the game to now.

Is it the action of rubbing the cards? Zao has been rubbing the cards in his hand since the beginning.

No, if that's the case, Fern and Tai should also have some small movements.

But obviously the two did not - Tai almost didn't move the whole time.

And if they made some small movements with their hands, it would be too obvious.

Ershi would definitely find out that they were cheating in an instant.

But if it wasn't the movements made by the hands, what would it be?

Was it the content of Fern and Zao's conversation?

After the first deal of cards, Zao said: "It's really small."

Lin Yu was very sure that Zao's words must be accurate to the specific points, and it was definitely not hinting that his cards were big or small.

Later, Fern said that if Zao's cards were poker, it would be great, so he could try to win a straight flush.

This sentence can be understood as a kind of affirmation, meaning that Zao should continue to take cards.

But Lin Yu didn't think that this sentence conveyed the points - because Fern said it before Zao took the cards for the third time.

If cheating is established, then Zao must have known the cards of others before the second time.

What happened before that?

Apart from the meaningless words that Zao said, there seemed to be nothing else.

And...

Zao must be the "receiver" of the information, and his words could not let him know the cards of the other two.

But Lin Yu remembered very clearly...

At that time, Fern and Moss did nothing, and even stopped making small movements with their hands.

It couldn't be some kind of soul connection, right? But if it was that kind of thing, how could he gain the trust of Fern and Zao?

It wasn't an action, could it be a sound?

This was even more wrong. Lin Yu clearly remembered that Fern had spoken a few words just now, and Moss remained silent from beginning to end.

What's more, those words that Fern said were all said after Zao had already become aware of it.

Thinking of this, Lin Yu was suddenly stunned.

Wait a moment……

He felt as if he had found something "abnormal".

With her broken mouth, Fern could talk to herself for a long time while digging in the dirt. This game didn't stop her from talking. Why did she stay silent just now?

If she said something that was normal, she didn't say anything but it was more like...avoiding suspicion.

Especially the two times he spoke again just now, it seems that after this round of "cheating" communication has been completed, he was relieved and could start talking again.

"So, the way they cheat is indeed sound, and it's some kind of subtle, easy-to-miss sound."

Lin Yu silently began to recall all the sounds he had just heard.

"At the same time, it is a sound that has certain rules in itself and can be encoded and simply convey information."

He remembered that when Zao Zao was silent and entangled just now, the place was very quiet, so quiet that he could only hear the breathing of the people present.

but……

The problem is those breathing sounds.

Those breathing sounds... are what the algae, ferns and moss use to cheat and convey information.

"As expected of a professional 'liar', this kind of creativity... is really a genius idea."
