The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 849

[Chapter 373 Games: The Number of Courage]

The latest website: When Rufu said, “This game, don’t bet on anything”.

Whether it was Annan…or Rufu himself, he knew it very well.

– The rotten is already afraid.

Although from a rational point of view… Rufu actually doesn’t think that with Salvatore’s IQ, he can win from his own hands.

But in the last game, the game between Roof and Annan.

He lost really badly… Looking back now, the illusion of “maybe able to win” he first felt was also given to him by Annan on purpose.

Then perhaps “Salvatore, who seems to be unable to defeat himself”, will also be another trap left by Annan.

In the last game, Rufu was hit with a “fifteen” at the beginning.

But after that, it was “ten”.

At that time, there was actually a glimmer of hope of victory in Roof’s heart.

Because Rufus knows very well that “Fourteen” is also a safe card.

If Annan can really know everything, he should know that from ten to fifteen, except for the “Twelve” selected at the beginning, all are safe cards.

It was at that time that Annan did not choose a larger number that gave Roof hope that he could win.

——Could it be that Annan couldn’t determine all the cards, so he chose the cards that were less likely to be chosen by Kaphne to attack him?

But it wasn’t until the end that Rufu realized… Annan deliberately didn’t play the big cards “Thirteen” and “Fourteen” first, just to prevent him from despairing immediately.

The poker in this world is not based on “hearts, spades, hearts, and diamonds”, but four suits of “cup”, “scepter”, “coin” and “sword”.

It also heralds the four righteous gods of “cup holding woman”, “old grandmother”, “silver jazz” and “red knight”, so it can be used as a ritual prop.

The three “big cards” from eleven to thirteen in each category have different suits.

For example, in the Holy Grail card, it is “Prince”, “Queen” and “King”.

And in the card of wands,

It is “young son”, “father”, “grandmother”.

But in all the cards, there are two comically dressed beings.

One was stepping on a flower ball, wearing a very thin purple-green dress, with oil paint on his face, looking stupid with a smile on his face.

But his right hand was behind his back… Some said it was a dagger, others said it was hiding a bottle of poison.

The other was dressed in a red hooded clothes like a baby’s clothes, with an abnormally fat body, a clean face, and a respectful and funny salute to people.

These two cards herald the “tragedy writer” and the “faceless poet”.

Also known as “The Clown” and “The Big Clown”.

Players like to call it “fat head Tuo” and “thin head Tuo”, or habitually call it “little king” and “big king”.

Where tragedies and their followers appear, tragedy is always entwined.

Therefore, people will regard it as an “unlucky symbol”, and in some plays with tragic writers, they will be dressed up as comical.

In every tragedy born of intrigue and conspiracy, it is understood that either “the tragedian’s followers interfere with it” or “the tragic writer himself comes”.

And anyone who dresses up in this funny way—stepping on a ball or playing with it, will be understood by the audience as a “tragic writer” or a “clown” who “believes in a tragic writer”.

Therefore, if they can fall off the ball embarrassedly when they enter the field, it will cause people to laugh.

The faceless poet is different, he is more inclined to a positive role.

As a god who often appears in legends along with tragic writers, the faceless poet is more inclined to predict “the tragic fate to come” for others.

Faceless poets usually appear as sages in epics who convey the truth to poor people who don’t know the truth… The most common are those court jesters who dress funny but always say some amazing words.

Say to a prince, “You are actually the child of the queen and the groom,” or “It was your uncle who killed your father.”

Faceless poets usually don’t tell the truth directly.

Instead, they will send the other party a long, mysterious poem… which usually metaphors a very important truth, and it is not until the other party gets close to the truth that they can truly realize the meaning of the poem.

When Rufu took out these two cards, he really didn’t think much about it.

Just use it as a filler for “fourteenth” and “fifteenth” to reduce the probability of Kaphne and Annan guessing the correct number.

But Annan, in turn, used its other meaning to ridicule Roof.

He started to imply him with the “big clown” symbolizing the faceless poet, and everything has been known by himself… and finally insulted him with “the clown”.

It wasn’t until he received the Joker card that Roof realized that Annan had already hinted at him at the very beginning.

Annan must have already thought about the countermeasures when he was choosing the cards.

He even had room to prophesy to himself!

Annan’s wisdom that seemed to know everything really made the rotten feel terrified.

Roof wanted to vent his anger against Salvatore before, but after Annan said “You’re sure”, he was immediately afraid.

Like a frightened bird.

He realized that Annan was not an eagle that could fly in the air—it was a dragon.

He even wondered if Annan had expected him to come here… and the trap he set up on Salvatore could kill him directly here.

Rufu has some regrets now.

If he can escape, he must have escaped after the second round.

However, he could not escape.

He was able to directly enter this nightmare as a god through the mechanism of “there was a rotman in this nightmare”.

If he ran away directly, he would leave behind a rotten shell.

Annan can still use the medium of that “self” to influence the body of the rotman.

The rotten himself, but he has no way of knowing what is going on inside…so he will lose the initiative.

And if he directly destroys this nightmare, it will directly lead to the destruction of the nightmare and the overflow of curses.

Annan is now a nightmare to enter in the bank, and the bank is the temple of Mr. Yao.

Once the curse of inertia in the nightmare leaked out directly… it would be like throwing a piece of shit in the temple of the Silver Sir.

——The rotman doesn’t have that courage yet.

Although Annan said he knew what he did in the third inning.

But this might be a lie instead—a lead to trick him into giving information.

The best result is to ensure that in this nightmare, help Annan complete the “powerful purification”.

At the moment when this nightmare is purified, all evidence will vanish.

– Exactly.

Rufu had already thought in his heart that he could actually lose on purpose.

That’s why he doesn’t bet anything.

That way, if you lose, you won’t be so embarrassed… Of course, if you win.

Then you can get some face back from Salvatore.

…whether you win or lose, it’s not a loss for the time being.

Thinking of this, Roof glanced at Salvatore who was playing Bella.

The rotten man, whose body was covered in blood, said solemnly, “We are still playing cards, the rules are simpler.

“We draw cards from here. This is a deck of cards without clowns, that is, fifty-two cards.

“On the side of the bright card, only the first card is a dark card, and the others are all open cards;

“On the side of the dark card, only The first card is an open card, and the others are hidden cards.

“The so-called ‘dark cards’ refer to cards that you can’t even see, and must be placed directly on the table.

Among them, the side with the clear card draws first.

“The dark card side can automatically choose to settle after their own draw round is over; or the open card side can automatically settle when they have the same suit of open cards [high cards]… For example, when the ‘Prince, Queen, When the king’s or ‘son, father, and grandmother’ are revealed, they will be automatically settled.”

“At the time of settlement, each K-rank card counts as three points, the Q-rank card counts as two points, and the J-rank card counts as one point. A set of big cards of the same suit will add an extra point. Compare the scores of the two sides, and if the points are exactly the same, the one who initiated the settlement will win… Do you understand?”
