Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 594: Out of the Cage

"I declare that Nan Mengyan wins."

Shichigosanmu Hana, acting as notary, announced the victory of the fight.

However, after hearing the victory declaration of the card game and looking at the crowd on the field who were either in pain, or in silence, or in excitement, or in joy, Nan Yan's heart was calm at this moment.

There was no excitement or thrill, as if it was just an ordinary game.

This is not a good thing for him.

Because this is the most dangerous fight in the underworld.

But even with such a game of cards, he did not feel the slightest bit of excitement. Even if he had to leave his fate to others, he did not have the sense of crisis of life and death.

Could it be that the opponent is not very good?

Nan Yan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

He had no intention of starting a fight, but was considered weak by Yuto Oguni, which eventually led to this game of cards.

But this kind of card game didn't seem to be what he wanted.

Even if you fight ten thousand times, it is probably impossible to find that tiny opportunity to break through the ghosts and gods.

With the victory of the fight, the fruits of victory will be reaped by the winner, and at this moment Nan Yan realized the significance of the notary's existence.

That is to complete the ritual of the victor completely dominating the loser.

As for Xiaoguo Youdou who kept begging for mercy, Nan Yan actually didn't want to make things difficult for him at first, but the outcome of every fight in the underworld will be announced in this world.

This means that once he chooses to let go of his opponent in a hangman fight, there will continue to be other people who will make unreasonable requests to hang him.

Because everyone knows that there is no cost to fighting with Nan Mengyan.

Therefore, he absolutely could not let Xiaoguo Youdou go.

But there was no point in keeping him, and eventually Xiaoguo Yuuto was bought by Shichigo Sanmuhua for 300 million happy beans.

Upon learning of this amount, Nan Yan couldn't help but be shocked. He finally understood why the slave trade was so prosperous back then, because it really made money.

After buying the slave, Shichigo Sanmu Hua also had someone control Oguni Yuto on the spot, then took out a small awl, turned over the latter's eyelids, pierced Oguni Yuto's eyeballs, and began to stir them.

A moment later, Yuto Oguni was still alive, but he could no longer resist.

Seeing this sudden scene, Kobayashi Maya's stomach suddenly churned and she vomited.

Nan Yan immediately recognized what this technology was.

The famous lobotomy, which once won the Nobel Prize in Medicine!
It is said that this technique can cure epilepsy and mental illness. Even the craziest human being can be completely cured by this technique, but the price is that he will become an idiot.

I didn't expect that this resection, which has long been considered a taboo in the medical community, is still popular in the underworld.

On the other side, when Takekami Takashi saw Yuto Oguni who was bought, an extremely uncomfortable expression appeared on his face. He was just jumping up and down in vain.

"By the way, your name is Takegami Takashi, right?"

Nan Yan's eyes showed a hint of sternness, "I hope that one day, I can invite you to have a fight with me."

Takekami Takashi played an indispensable role in facilitating this fight.

Of course he took note of it.

"Haha. Young friend Nan Meng is joking."

Wu Shanglong laughed dryly twice, "I am just here to do some small business, helping others to play, but I lost a lot in this order, I am really ashamed."

It would have been fine if he hadn't won the bet, but even Xiaoguo Yuto was bought by the Shichigo Sanki family. What's worse is that he offended Nan Mengyan, a top master.

Together with the previous incident with Kurosawa Yoshiaki, he has offended two superiors.

Kurosawa Yoshiaki is a good guy, so it's not a big deal if he offends him. Although Minami Menghiko is young, he seems to be more decisive and ruthless than Kurosawa.

Now it seems that this kid is not going to let me go.

So Wu Shanglong found an opportunity and slipped away, planning to find a place to hide from the limelight.

When I escaped from the house, it was midnight and it was raining heavily.

Wu Shanglong thought it was bad luck and fled in the heavy rain.

At the same time, in the dark mahjong hall.

"Everyone, divide these up."

After winning the game of Dark Mahjong and the fight, Nan Yan divided all the happy beans, including the one that sold Xiaoguo Yudou, among his subordinates.

All the gangsters in Kansai looked flattered.

They were ordered by Master Sengwo to protect Nan Yan, but during this card game, they actually did nothing except watching the game from the sidelines. As a result, Nan Yan gave all the happy beans to them.

You have to know that their income is not that high when they work in the underworld, only 36 yen a month.

A little higher than that of ordinary workers.

But Nan Yan directly distributed all the joy beans, and each of them could get tens of millions of joy beans, which was the income they had earned from working as gangsters for several years.

Moreover, the gangsters at the bottom are actually no different from working people. They all work like slaves for the big shots, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and sometimes even risk having their carrots cut for them.

Who could have thought that the new boss would be so generous that he shared the earnings from playing dark mahjong with them on the spot.

Many Kansai gangsters were moved to tears and praised their boss as great.

"Boss, we will follow you from now on."

"I will be your slave from now on, even if it means death!"

"I'm sorry, boss. I said bad things about you behind your back before. If you want me to chop a few carrots for you, please tell me!"

"Boss, chop mine too."

"..."

As for Kobayashi Maya and Goto Ryoma, who put in the effort, they got the biggest share.

Looking at the generous reward in his hand, Goto Ryoma had a strange expression on his face.

To be honest, he just acted on impulse. He didn't expect that Nan Mengyan was a man who really gave money when he had it.

Instead, it made him a little confused.

After receiving this reward, Goto can actually compensate his former boss for his losses, so he doesn't have to cut carrots to apologize.

"What do you think, Goto? Are you interested in changing jobs?" Nan Yan looked at Goto's mixed emotions and asked another question.

"…I'll have to think about it."

Goto did not agree directly, but asked: "How did you know that Takegami Takashi would use Guoshi Wushuang to set up your secretary, when you were not present at the whole process?"

The surveillance in this room was turned off after the grappling started.

Nan Mengyan didn’t even watch those games for a second, but he knew what happened, and that’s the most terrifying thing.

Can the top masters predict the future?

Hearing Goto's question, Kobayashi Maya couldn't help but look over. This was what she wanted to ask. "Actually, there's nothing special."

Nan Yan smiled, "For Takegami Takashi, as long as he can win this fight, he can buy me from Xiaoguo Youdou and make me his thug. This is a huge benefit. He will definitely think about finding an opportunity to win this once-in-a-lifetime fight.

So from the beginning when I said I wanted to go to the bathroom, Takekami Takashi had this idea.

This is a very good opportunity for Takegami Takashi, but the duration of this opportunity is very short. After all, he doesn't know when I will come back, so he must act quickly. Going straight to Maya is a very good choice.

If you want to knock Maya away in the fastest time, then Yakuman is a very good choice. The easier Yakuman are only Four Dark Ke, Great Three Elements and Kokushi Wushuang.

He knew from the mahjong skills I taught Zhenya before that Zhenya only knew the regular 5-block mahjong, and I did not tell her the special card patterns.

So Zhenya has no way to defend against Xiaoqi and Guoshi.

This gave Takegami Takashi an excitement as if he had discovered a loophole, that is, by using the Guoshi Wushuang to complete a direct attack on Maya, the battle could be quickly resolved.

Therefore, I can be sure that within one or two rounds, as long as he draws a card that suits Guoshi, he will definitely move forward towards Guoshi, but he may have underestimated Zhenya's keen perception of danger.

Later, when I came back, I saw that Zhenya's points were still far ahead, which meant that she had successfully defended against the killing move by the unparalleled Guo Shi.

This isn’t hard to understand, is it?

Hearing this, Goto Ryoma fell silent.

He could fully understand the reasoning process, but there were still some things that he found difficult to understand.

“I still can’t understand why you would entrust your life to your enemy, and a woman who just played mahjong?

Don't you know the consequences of a hangman's fight?
You just saw what happened to Xiaoguo Youdou. If you lose, you might end up like him. Why aren't you afraid at all?"

Yes, this is what he can't understand the most.

You know, if either he or this woman fails, Nan Mengyan will most likely be doomed.

But he did it anyway.

This is definitely something only a madman could do.

"I know the consequences of a failed fight."

Nan Yan nodded slightly, "What if I said that I believe in Goto's character and Maya's talent?"

"…It's still hard to explain your confidence."

Goto Ryoma whispered.

After all, the cost of a fight is too high, and even top masters find it difficult to deal with it calmly. This is not an ordinary card game.

"You're right."

Nan Yan took a deep breath and stopped hiding it, "If I were to say what I rely on most, it would probably be my feelings.

From the moment the fight started, I didn't feel any life-or-death crisis at all. Instead, I felt extremely bored.

Because of this feeling, I concluded that this was an extremely boring game.

There are no surprises, no crises, and not even the slightest ups and downs in mood. It is a purely uneventful game of crushing mahjong.

Even if I let you and Zhenya play for me, this feeling won't change at all.

I am destined to win this Mahjong game, whether you play for me or I play myself."

Goto Ryoma looked extremely surprised.

Is it true that the perception of top masters is so magical?
From the moment the game starts, you can feel whether you will win or lose.

He had clearly met some top masters before, but he had never heard of anyone talking about this kind of magical perception effect.

"But there's no need to take such a big risk when there's a sure win. Is it so important to pursue the feeling of being on the line between life and death?" Goto still had some doubts.

Nan Yan did not answer, but simply asked: "Do you know ghosts and gods?"

Hearing this, Goto's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the high school student in front of him in disbelief. His expression was as if he had seen a devil, which made Kobayashi Maya beside him a little confused.

It seemed that Goto was extremely shocked when he heard the word "ghosts and gods".

What's going on?
Only Goto knew what Nan Yan meant by these words.

In the black way mahjong, the widely circulated final step to step into the ghosts and gods seems to require going through a life-and-death crisis to give birth to that trace of inspiration that is so perfect that there is a chance to step into the ghosts and gods in one fell swoop.

According to legend, some top masters once sensed a trace of mysterious inspiration when they were on the verge of life and death, and in an instant they questioned the realm of ghosts and gods.

Nan Mengyan is also pursuing a life-or-death game.

This means that Nan Mengyan is not a mahjong player who has just entered the upper level, but is close to the peak.

Entering the upper class and reaching the pinnacle of the upper class are two completely different things.

There are no more than ten people in the entire dark mahjong world who have the opportunity to inquire about the realm of ghosts and gods!

But Nan Mengyan in front of him has actually reached this point.

He is just a seventeen-year-old boy!
This can also explain why other top masters do not have the same exquisite perception effect as Nan Mengyan, because he is not an ordinary top master at all!

"Think about it, Goto. Sometimes, choice is more important than hard work."

After Nan Yan finished speaking, he walked out the door as if no one was around.

Everything around him seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore.

People's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness are just like the sound of rain, completely meaningless.

"Master!"

When Kobayashi Maya saw Nan Yan leaving, she hurriedly chased after him with a big umbrella, even though it was raining heavily outside.

Nan Yan stepped into the rain without any hesitation.

Kobayashi Maya quickly opened an umbrella and followed, worried that Nan Yan would get wet. However, Nan Yan stopped in the rain and then slowly turned back.

"Go back, Zhenya. Thank you for playing this dark mahjong game with me. You have a good talent. Go back and practice more. I believe you will become a good substitute player, but I can't stop. I will continue to move forward. Farewell."

This fight made him extremely disappointed.

If Dark Mahjong is limited to this level, then he might never be able to step into the supreme realm in his lifetime.

So he must go further on this path.

Under the protection of the monk, it is impossible to find that feeling of life and death.

He must go forward alone and leave the cage called "safety" to have hope of realizing the opportunity for the advent of the great way.

This period is inevitably accompanied by danger.

If she continued to stay with him, Kobayashi Maya would surely die and become a pile of bones.

"Master, let's go back together."

Kobayashi Maya's gentle cry did not shake Nan Yan's faith.

He did not look back and continued to move towards the center of the rainstorm. His figure gradually became ethereal and finally merged into the silent night and darkness.
