Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 845 A Team of Three

Fortunately, this wall was facing Kong Zhe, so he could see it directly. What was more miserable was that the few people opposite him, because they were fixed on the chairs, made a lot of fools in order to turn around.

Of course, this does not include the Queen of Maids, who stared fiercely at Kong Zhe's face from the beginning to the end, as if she could see flowers from his face.

As for the Palace Master who appeared behind her, she didn't even intend to look at it.

Obviously, she knew the inside story.

If a group of them were tied up here to play a high-end game similar to Uncle Liju, then this woman must be an undercover agent!
Alright, you are so arrogant, let's see if I will investigate and kill you later!

"Everyone, I want to play a game with you...

Oh, I'm so tired.

Kong Zhe raised his eyebrows, complaining crazily in his heart, this is really the beginning of the fuck.

"Did you see that machine on the table? It's called a card dealer, and it contained exactly two decks of playing cards. They were thrown into it after they were shuffled. The game I want you to play now is a kind of It’s a very classic card game, you must have heard the name, it’s called blackjack!”

"You are all humans from the earth. You should know the rules of blackjack, right? Forget it, let me explain it again. After the game starts, you will each be dealt two cards through the card dealer, and then you can call freely. Or stop at any time. In short, your goal is to make the sum of the points of the cards in your hand not exceed 21 points and be as large as possible. After the end of the round, the person with the smallest points among the ten people will lose, but once someone has more than 21 points , even if there is a bust, the others win unconditionally, and if there are multiple people who bust at the same time, they will be compared according to the points of the busts, and the person with the highest points will be considered the loser. How about it? I think what I said is fairly easy to understand."

The hall master nodded his head, and then said: "If you have any questions, you can ask them now. If not, the game will start directly!"

After finishing speaking, the people in the room looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not speak for a while.

In such an unfamiliar environment, no one wants to be the leader.

After a while, one of the girls in pale yellow clothes weakly raised her hand: "Then, may I ask, what will happen if you lose?"

This girl looks young and timid, her voice trembles when she speaks, and she can still see obvious childishness from her appearance. It seems that she is still a student.

"I lost...hehe...

The hall master smiled coldly and explained: "You should see the things connected to your fingers, right?"

"To tell you the truth, this thing is a torture tool for electrocution. Whoever loses a game must choose to accept a punishment. There are two types of punishment. The first is electrocution. The second is chopping off fingers!"

"what?"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed.Except for a few special ones, such as the weird Queen of Virgos on the opposite side, everyone else was either terrified or anxious. After all, ten fingers are connected to a heart. Imagine the scene where fingers are cut off, and everyone will feel it from the bottom of their hearts. feel scared.

Xue Feifei and Hongling on the side are already considered to be of relatively good quality in the women's center, but their expressions have also become ugly at the moment.

Of course, even Kong Zhe deliberately made a uncomfortable expression, which made the Maiden King opposite him sneer.

Pretend, you pretend again.

Kong Zhe directly ignored the woman and continued his ecstatic performance.

"In addition, no matter which one you choose, these two punishments will be upgraded. Every time you have an electric shock, the current of the next shock will be doubled compared to the previous one. As for chopping fingers, the first time is chopping fingers, and the second time is Cut off the arm, as for the third time...hehe, sorry, there is no third time, the third time is direct death."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, even those who forcibly calmed down before could no longer remain calm.

If chopping off their fingers just made their scalps feel a little tingly, then the rule of three deaths would directly send a chill down their hearts.

Of course, except for the particularly weird Virgo Queen.She was still staring at Kong Zhe with a sneer on her face.

Kong Zhe didn't bother to perform any more this time, but propped his hands on the table, rubbing his chin and meditating.

The two punishment methods proposed by the Hall Master, on the surface, I am afraid that most people will choose electric shocks. After all, electric shocks do not seem to cause any substantial damage on the surface, and the time is short, so it is likely to end in one go.

What's more, no one knows how big the electric current is. If it is very small, it is smaller than household alternating current, and it is completely within the range of the human body. If this is the case, the human body can generally support it.

But the other kind, cutting off limbs, caused real damage, not to mention, it would be fatal after only three times!
However, Kong Zhe always felt that something was wrong. According to the way of doing things in the temple, is it possible to give such unequal punishments?

Kong Zhe frowned, in short, keep this matter in mind.

"Any more questions? No I'm starting!"

At the other end, the Palace Master urged again.

"Wait a moment……

Xue Feifei called out.

There is no way, this person has explained too little so far, and no one else called to stop, so she can only make a point by herself.

"Then, what if multiple people lose with the same number of points?"

The others also pricked up their ears. They really hoped to hear the answer from the Hall Master: If they are the same, both will be exempted from punishment... However...

"Needless to say, it is natural to accept the punishment together!"

The palace master smiled indifferently.The others were chilled when they heard it.

Xue Feifei frowned, thought for a while, and asked again: "Then, what is your purpose? Or, what is the end condition of this game?"

"The purpose? Haha, don't forget that we are an assassin organization. What purpose do you ask an assassin organization to want? Of course it is to kill people!"

The hall master smiled casually: "Of course, we are not that kind of low-end killer organization. We have our own particulars about killing people. While killing people, we also provide the target with a glimmer of life, so this game will be played in the ongoing Stop when there are only three people left alive, and for the three who survived, I can promise to let you leave the temple unconditionally!"

three people?
Hearing this number that obviously had some meaning, everyone at the table looked at each other in surprise.

Out of ten people, only three can survive, and these people in front of them are very likely to be your opponents in the future.

Moreover, three people, why not two people, or one person.It happened to be three people, and many people subconsciously thought, could there be some kind of small team of just three people among these people?
When Kong Zhe heard this number, his reaction was the same as that of Xue Feifei and Hong Ling.He didn't know what the other two people thought, but he was sure that these three places were specially prepared for the three of them.

It seems that the Palace Master really does not intend to kill him, and this game is probably specially set up for him, but what is the purpose?If he just wanted to force him to join the temple, why would he use such a complicated method? It would be more effective to hold Xiaolei in his hand as before and threaten him openly.

"Okay, since no one asks questions, then, the game begins!"

The Hall Master didn't seem to want to answer any more questions, this time he didn't even ask, and directly announced the start.

And as her voice fell, ten cards began to fly out of the card dealer one by one, and they landed in front of ten people exactly.

As in a normal blackjack game, the first deal is a hidden card.

The so-called dark cards are the cards with the back facing up.This card is the only one that only you can see, and the rest of the cards will become clear cards for everyone to see.

After the dark cards, the dealer quickly dealt another round of bright cards.

"Okay, the basic card deal is over, and then you can freely choose to add or not to add! This is also the case for subsequent game modes."

The Hall Master added a sentence.

Kong Zhe's face card is a 5, this kind of card seems to be specially made, the surface is bare except for the number, there is not even a distinction between suits and colors.

Kong Zhe opened his hidden card and took a look, it was a 2.

Xue Feifei, who was at the side, finished reading her cards immediately, and then immediately turned her head around, secretly scanning other people's positions.

Kong Zhe didn't stop him, and even showed his cards a little bit for her to see.

He knew very well that Xue Feifei was definitely much better than him at this kind of brain-playing thing.

Moreover, the Palace Master specially arranged for the three of them to sit together, and let Xue Feifei sit in the middle. It is impossible to say that there is no purpose.

Hongling on the other side seems to have done the same thing.It's a pity that due to Xue Feifei's position, she can only see the cards of the two of them, and the rest is beyond her reach.

Even when Kong Zhe secretly wanted to peek at a woman's card on the other side of him, he was caught on the spot, and was slashed at him severely, so he had no choice but to look away resentfully.

The others also read the cards one by one, each with a different expression.

The middle-aged woman on his left seemed to be a little flustered after reading the cards, while the hooded man on her left was meditating with his eyes closed, unable to tell what he was thinking.Further to the left is a man with a natural poker face, who also can't tell what he's thinking.

These two expressions can be regarded as relatively well controlled, but the remaining few performances are called a bad one.

Sitting on Hong Ling's right was a boy with a full head of yellow hair and a bit of a killer look. After watching the cards, he was so happy that he almost patted his thigh to celebrate.

Young man... Kong Zhe sighed secretly.

This yellow-haired card was probably guessed by everyone, and he was lucky enough to get blackjack.

And further to the right, the former student girl keeps her head down, maybe she knows that her acting skills are not good, so she simply doesn't let others see her expression.Well, this is also a correct approach.

Continue to the right, and you will come to Kong Zhe's old acquaintance, the Queen of Maidens.

That's right, the woman was still staring at him with a sneer.
