It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

-------------------------------------

Because there has been a burst of updates recently, there is nothing to save the manuscripts. The manuscripts posted at noon are all impromptu writing when I get up early, and occasionally the text will be posted a little later.

In fact, I didn’t get stuck today, mainly because I don’t know why my little finger suddenly hurts, and it’s uncomfortable to type on the keyboard, so I’m a little slower.

There should still be three chapters of 3 words today, but the last chapter may be later, after 4000:0.

Chapter 104 Ten Bets and Ten Losses?I choose out of thousands!

As a gambler, Zhou Zhuo has a very strange way of thinking. He never sets up a gamble that is beneficial to him. He doesn’t even verify the information of both parties. It seems that he is just playing casually. .

The fast-running brain was rapidly distinguishing the information collected in front of him, and Fred began to analyze the laws of the opponent's behavior pattern.

It may have been a coincidence that he decided to choose "life" for the first time, but after obtaining the proposition right, he did not hesitate to place his hope of the game on a stranger again, which means that the opponent must have some kind of probability that can exceed 50%. Important information, such as knowing the strength of this person.

There is no point in thinking about the relationship between the two parties, it is enough to know the result.Whether he can survive the 5-minute gamble is based on Zhou Zhuo's confidence in the contestants in the arena, so as a pre-emptive betting right, he naturally has to choose the option that the opponent has more confidence in.

"I choose to be able to hold out for 5 minutes." Fred said, and then put a stack of chips on the table from the drawer under the gaming table, "This is my casino chip, the blue chip marked with the number 10 is equivalent to 10 dollars , you can verify it with the staff. I have ten coins here, and I’ll make a tentative bet, it’s up to you.”

"There is no problem with the chips." The butler nodded and looked towards Zhou Zhuo, "Fred von Methuselah's bank account is enough to pay the amount corresponding to the chips. Do you want to choose to call?"

Even with the option that he thought he had an advantage in, Fred was still careful enough, not in a hurry to push his opponent into a corner, but continued to make explorations with his overwhelming advantage in funds until the opponent revealed his weakness.

Now the pressure is on Zhou Zhuo's side. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the asset strength of the two sides is not at the same level. If Fred continues to use this rogue tactic to force Zhou Zhuo to give up the bet, he will control the proposition right in his own hands. , take the initiative.

In the real world, this kind of game is indeed a disadvantage for the challenger, but it is not necessarily the case in the game. The objects carried by Zhou Zhuo are almost all surreal items, which are difficult to estimate. This is probably why the butler, as a member of the Tarot organization, appears in the here.

"How do we estimate the value of these two fingers?" Zhou Zhuo patted the fingers that came in just now, and asked the housekeeper.

"According to the rules of the cleansing house, for a gambler who is qualified to board a ship, one finger can be calculated at 10 US dollars, but these two fingers are quite special, and I can give a total estimate of 30 US dollars." The steward said.

Fred has no objection to this, and his expression is as usual. It seems that similar incidents are commonplace. The price of the limbs sold will naturally vary depending on the value. The valuer can choose arbitrarily within the value range of the item based on subjective concepts. Very normal thing.

"That's it." Zhou Zhuo nodded, and then greeted Sun Cha next to him, "Brother, stretch out your hand."

"Oh good." Sun Cha followed suit.

Then Zhou Zhuo picked up his hand and slapped it on the table: "Plus five living fingers, one is 14 yuan, freshly cut, the asking price is not too high, right?"

"...?"

A question mark appeared on Sun Cha's head, Fred's expression was not much better, his face was full of surprise, he thought that the two people behind Zhou Zhuo were bodyguards, even though they looked a bit inferior.

But the butler smiled and shook his head and rejected his proposal: "These two players who are not officially boarding the ship certainly do not have the same value, unless the chips on both sides are limbs. If I must give a specific value, then I need a certain amount of time. background checks are used for valuation."

Sun Cha also quickly persuaded: "Brother Zhuo, calm down, there is no need to go up!"

The gambler didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and he was in a daze from the beginning to the end.

"Oh, forget it, this one. Also, I need a watch. I'm not very good at seeing, so I can't tell 60 seconds."

After much deliberation, Zhou Zhuo still took out something really valuable, the special tranquilizer he got from his mentor Elena.

"No problem, please wait a moment."

The butler wearing white gloves picked up the potion and took a look at it. After a little thought, he nodded: "I can offer an estimate of 90 US dollars for this potion. If Mr. Methuselah has any objections, I can issue a professional Test Report."

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhuo started to look forward to it instead. He was also very curious about who could appraise this surreal item. It is a pity that Fred was not going to be serious about this, or he was unwilling to act as a player Conflict with the cruise ship party.

"It doesn't matter, your chips are 120 million, right? Then I'll add two more." Fred took out two blue chips from the drawer and threw them on the table. "Let's go, I'm starting to feel bored."

boring?Zhou Zhuo sneered in his heart, you will be the one to be stimulated when you lose all your pants.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to get a watch for timekeeping, does Mr. Methuselah need it?"

"No, I won't waste a minute on this kind of question. The more hesitant, the easier it is to expose my inner thoughts."

In order to get the timer watch for Zhou Zhuo, the butler left for a while.

Just like what Fred said, cheating is inevitable in gambling, and no restraint measures can completely prevent the opponent from cheating. In many cases, it is impossible to prove it if it is not caught, and Zhou Zhuo's idea is exactly this.

Serious people don’t gamble, and even if they want to gamble, they will choose the safest way. The idea of ​​cheating comes from a small detail. After killing the lion, Run Kuai looked up at a place out of the camera’s line of sight, as if he was looking at something.

This kind of vigilant gaze means that the dead lion is not the only danger in the room, but Run Kuaikuai did not take a defensive posture, just glanced at it and did nothing, which means that the target is not obvious. The threat on the surface, that is to say, it is not a human being or any other form of weapon.

So what could it be?Zhou Zhuo's eyes moved to the screen in the central hall, and then suddenly realized.

Neither Fred nor the butler had "the arena" to describe the room in which Joggy was, but how could the arena have no audience?

Only greedy gazes and cheers can make the beasts in the field more excited, so Zhou Zhuo boldly guessed that there is a monitor similar to the hall in the field, which transmits the scenes on both sides to each other, creating a scene of watching the battle remotely.

However, in order to avoid the subjective influence of gambling equipment, the opponent's screen probably cannot hear the specific content of the game here, and even if there is sound, it will be eliminated.

Of course, conjecture is just an idea, what forensics needs is enough evidence to confirm the conjecture, so Zhou Zhuo came up with a simple method to test it.

While waiting for the housekeeper to pick up the watch, Zhou Zhuo supported his head with one hand, pretending to be bored, but actually kept tapping his temple with his index finger as a hint.

This action is completely invisible to the table, but others will pay special attention to it. If you run fast and have a brain, you will definitely notice it.

Sure enough, after just a few seconds, the runners in the arena quickly realized Zhou Zhuo's movements. He also raised his hand, pretending to wipe blood, and tapped his forehead a few times with his index finger in response.

After confirming the communication signal between the two parties, Zhou Zhuo changed his leaning position and began to tap his ears.

This action is to imply that he can hear the voice from the other side, because he glued Sun Cha’s bug to the trousers of the running fast, so both of them can hear the content of the bug, some words Can communicate directly.

After all, the screen in the arena is not too big, and I was a little confused when I ran fast at first, thinking that Zhou Zhuo was twitching his hands, but later realized that it was implying hearing.

He didn't know how Zhou Zhuo did it, but it was actually very simple to test whether the other party could hear. The person in front of him was like a walking corpse, he would just stay where he was and wait for orders, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

Thus, a "fair and just" cheating operation began.

"If you can hear me, touch your forehead with the back of your left hand."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhuo pretended to be wiping sweat, and wiped his forehead with the back of his hand. Seeing this, Fred couldn't help showing a confident smile of winning. It seemed that the other party was not as calm and composed as he appeared on the surface.

"It's really good..."

Running quickly was a little surprised, and then looked at the unresponsive opponent in front of him. Even if he resisted in his heart, he could only cooperate with Zhou Zhuo now.

"What do I need to do, win him, or lose to him on purpose?"

Zhou Zhuo didn't speak. After all, he could hear the voice over there, but he couldn't hear him over there, so props must be used to convey the words.

At this time, the butler came back with a watch, which seemed to belong to a certain guest. It was very gorgeous and had a heavy hand.Zhou Zhuo, who didn't care about this, put on the watch directly, and tapped the cover with his fingers casually, as if he was testing the quality of something.

After delivering the news, Zhou Zhuo pointed to the screen and asked, "I'm curious. There are only these living people's gambling tools in the cabin. Regardless of winning or losing, what if he is beaten to death after 1 minute?"

"After 1 minute, the living corpse will stop moving on its own," the butler replied.

"Very well, I have no problem." Zhou Zhuo nodded, let the game begin.

"it is good."

Running quickly over there received the information from the watch, and coupled with the chips heard when he boarded the deck, it is not difficult to guess that there is a betting game targeting him at this time, and the betting item should be time.

What combat factors will be linked to time?Of course it is the time of victory or defeat, but what is most suitable to provoke the gambler's desire should be a specific timeline, such as how long to survive, or how long to knock down an opponent.

"If I need to delay time, then repeat the action of wiping my forehead with the back of my hand just now; if I need to solve the opposite side as soon as possible, then... give the opposite side a middle finger."

This guy really holds a grudge!

There was an obvious dislocation in the communication between the two parties. After all, it is normal for such vague communication to lack precision.

Zhou Zhuo froze for a moment, then raised his middle finger to Fred without hesitation.

Even if they beat the opponent, they survived for 5 minutes. Zhou Zhuo wanted to deliberately send Fred a game when the stakes were still small, creating a stressful situation.

On the one hand, it is to weaken the opponent's suspicion and avoid the discovery of the garbage cooperation full of loopholes. On the other hand, it is to let oneself take the initiative in a bet and test the opponent's way.

After getting the answer, Pa Kuai nodded slightly, indicating that he had received the message.

In fact, Fred saw all this. He didn't notice Zhou Zhuo's small movements, but it was still obvious that he ran fast and looked back at the screen frequently.

There can be many explanations, but if this game is lost, it is easy to think of cheating, and the success rate of Zhou Zhuo's attempt to control the key game will be greatly reduced. In comparison, winning or losing this game is irrelevant at all .

"here we go."

After receiving the order, the bodyguard raised his head, ran around and hopped quickly to test his weaknesses, but the latter didn't play any fancy things with him at all, and took out his camera to take pictures, fixed the opponent in place, and cut him with a knife. Throat end game.

Seeing the result, Fred really showed a smug smile, glanced at Zhou Zhuo, and did not hide the contempt in his eyes.

This is his provocation, the idea is that even if you know some insides in advance, so what?Those who control the game will always be those superiors who have huge resources and are proficient in how to play.

It's faster than expected, but that's okay. After winning this game, Fred may have strong confidence in running fast, and then he can set traps around this point to lure the opponent into the pit.

Gambling is usually ten games and ten losses. There is no chance of winning. Even if you win a hundred times or a thousand times, you will not cherish the money you get. You will only be governed by desire, and you will squander the proceeds quickly before investing in the next game. And losing once is enough to drag you into the abyss.

Zhou Zhuo's plan is to use the opponent's senior gambler and controller mentality to drag Fred into the inertia trap, and all concessions are for the final fatal blow.

"Hmph... you're lucky." Zhou Zhuo pushed the things on the table forward, "It's yours. Next game, you make the decision."

Fred didn't answer, and his expression returned to his previous calmness. He waved his hand to signal the screen in the hall to switch to the scene, and soon stayed in the scene where the fat man was.

This is a warm house, judging from the fat man's strong expression feedback, it may be his previous home.

"This is a patient with bulimia nervosa. He was very thin since he was a child. He was often bullied by his classmates and robbed of his pocket money. He told the teacher and his parents that it didn't work out. The adults didn't care about this kind of thing at all."

"So he planned to use secret overeating to make himself grow up quickly. His parents are business elites who are often on the go and rarely go home. They usually let hourly workers prepare his meals, or simply leave money directly. "

"This habit of overeating was only discovered after a month. At that time, he had already gained 15 kilograms, but his height did not grow taller. Instead, he suddenly became obese and gave the other party more bullying. They laughed at him as a waste, no matter how much he eats, he cannot have the power to resist."

"The bullying didn't get better, but he developed a habit of overeating. Whenever he was in pain, he would use bursts of binge eating to calm his mood. When his parents realized that something was wrong, he was already overweight. The thread is 30 kilograms, and it has been out of control since then, until now."

"A large amount of food is placed in this hut that is completely indistinguishable from his home, and poisonous reminder labels are added to all the food. This kind of toxin will not have an effect in a small amount, and it will form a fatal disease when it accumulates to a certain extent. Effect."

"The question I'm going to ask is, will he die here?"

Fred held out his hand to Zhou Zhuo.

"Please place your bet."

-------------------------------------

There is another chapter after midnight, I just don’t like procrastinating, friends who go to bed early can watch it tomorrow morning.

The bounty will not be settled, and it should exceed a dozen chapters by visual inspection.

Chapter 105 Desire vs Rationality (4k)

Impulsive binge eating caused by frustration and low self-esteem, and possibly severe depression is not uncommon, but it is rare to see patients who are fat to this extent.

Zhou Zhuo lacks sufficient knowledge of this kind of case, but this kind of thing does not help the situation. What needs to be understood is this person's thinking and behavior patterns, and what kind of person he is in his daily life.

"Do you have specific information?" Zhou Zhuo asked.

"There is only the simplest information, which is no different from what I described, but of course there is no problem if you want to read it. All the information will be managed by the cruise ship." Fred pointed to the butler beside him.

"Yes." The steward nodded in agreement, "We are not interested in investigating the details, and such an approach will only make the game less interesting."

He added another sentence: "In addition, I can promise you that Fred will never know more about this redeemer than you. The cruise ship will ensure that every player will be treated fairly. After that, you can also request to obtain the corresponding information, but you must decide the content of the game within 10 minutes."

Oddly enough, Fred referred to those who boarded the ship as "gamers," but the steward called them "redeemers."

But after thinking about it, this ship is called "Purgatory House" after all, and the people who boarded the ship did come for atonement. Today, Fred is no longer the owner of the cruise ship. natural thing.

"I understand."

Zhou Zhuo answered in an undeniable tone, took the corresponding information from the housekeeper, and glanced at it briefly. The gambler and Sun Cha behind him also lowered their heads to look together, and they really didn't find anything different.

"Brother Zhuo, I think we should choose students." Sun Cha whispered, "No matter how greedy you are, you won't be able to eat it knowing it's poisonous, right?"

What he said made sense, and then Zhou Zhuo looked at the gambler next to him: "What do you think?"

"How should I put it..." The gambler looked a little embarrassed, "I think some desires are beyond instinct. In casinos, we often see people who bet on their wives and children even if they risk their lives. Hit the flipbook—and be forewarned that I'm not like that."

Although it sounds like an attempt to cover up, but this sentence is still worthy of trust. After all, at the last moment of his life, this man broke through his obsession and sent his daughter out of the flames. He was trapped in this cold world until he died. .

"So you choose to die?"

"I think this is more likely." The gambler nodded.

In the face of an independent individual that no one can control, no one can fully predict the other's behavior pattern, just like you don't know when a boy will suddenly jump up and shoot into the air, everything is possible, not to mention that the two sides have never met acquaintance.

But the expression on Fred's face that he was sure of winning made people feel that something was wrong. Could it be that he had fallen into a trap?Zhou Zhuo couldn't help thinking this way.

Since he could make small moves with the help of the blind spot of vision, and the host who knew the cheating was happening didn't stop it, then the other party could naturally do it too. Could it be that Fred had known that fat man a long time ago?If yes, how would he choose?

Zhou Zhuo tried to put himself into the opponent's perspective, but still couldn't find a way to win, which made him very distressed.

What Sun Cha and the gambler said is correct, but one side represents rationality and the other side represents sensibility. In fact, the essence of the problem is very simple. In the case of a complete lack of cognition, do you think a person's desire can overcome reason?

"Reminder." The butler pointed to Zhou Zhuo's watch, "You have the last 20 seconds left. If you don't place a bet before the time expires, it will be deemed as a waiver."

"I have some questions." Zhou Zhuo didn't hold back, "Who provided the scene and food, and did he choose the brand he likes?"
