So I became a witch

"Hmph, the strong are always lonely! Friends and such will only become a drag!" Lulu suddenly said forcefully.

Wow, this guy is a lot more trouble than I imagined.That's enough to say, I don't really want to get too close to others, if the secret is known, both I and the other party will be in danger.But, how should I put it, I seem to see the shadow of my past from her.The same is so eager for companions, but stubbornly refuses to help.Fortunately, at that time, I met Yue and Ye Siya, so I didn't fall completely.

Just a little bit, just a little bit, and work harder.

"Well, it's boring to be idle anyway, do you want to chat for a while?" I tried to invite her like this.

"...If it's just a chat, I don't mind."

"That, that, I think the weather today is good."

"Yes, yes, it is a rare sunny day, and I can see the stars all over the sky clearly."

"..."

"..."

Am I stupid!Why did Mao talk about the weather from the very beginning!

No, it will be bad if we don't quickly change the subject!

I searched and searched for things I knew well, but sadly found that the only things I could talk to others clearly were games and animations. The biggest weakness of the Nites was this.

"Um... do you like stars?" I blurted out this sentence, I don't know why I said it, but the scene of stargazing with a white-haired girl kept playing in my mind , Just seeing her, I felt that my impetuous heart calmed down a little bit, and the room was filled with a warm atmosphere. In the small space with only two people, I spent that short but beautiful time.I know that this memory does not belong to me, but belongs to the real Luo Yuze, but she is dead, forgotten by everyone, and died alone. As the price for inheriting her power, I also inherit her memory , became the only person in this world who remembered her.This made me feel guilty, but I didn't know how to deal with it.

"Hey, do you like stars too?" Lulu unexpectedly became interested, as if she had found someone like her.

I'm sorry, I'm not interested in such unrealistic things at all. Instead of looking up at the sky, it's better to pay more attention to your feet. Otherwise, be careful if you look too far, and you won't even know when you will fall into the ditch... Of course you can't say such things, I Squeezing a forced smile, using Luo Yuze's memory, he said: "Ah, I remember, for example, these two triangles...is it Orion? And those two humanoid ones...is it Gemini? And that one, in the Big Dipper The one at the end of the seven stars, I remember it was called Yaoguang or Pojun..."

"Oh oh oh, you know quite a lot! You know it's hard to find such good weather for stargazing, because it's on an island? You can see a lot of stars with the naked eye."

"Haha, you seem to like the appearance of stars."

"I like it!" Lulu said with certainty.

"Uh, is it because you can use constellation divination or something?" I asked. From my impression, the girls in the class seem to be quite enthusiastic about it. Even Bingying tried to learn it for a while, but whenever I When she asked her how the result was, she was blushed and changed the topic, and she would get angry if she asked too much, it was really inexplicable.

"Hey? What's that?" Lulu asked blankly.

"Hey? Then why do you like stars?"

"Because it's handsome! Did you know that behind every discovered star lies one or more unknown stories. Wouldn't it be exciting to explore and discover these stories?" Lulu said with bright eyes.

"I can't tell, you're not only a middle school girl, but also quite artistic?"

"You're only in the second grade and you're talented in literature and art! I, I just express my feelings occasionally!" She said blushing.

"Yes, yes, but..." Suddenly, Lulu and I's wristbands lit up, indicating that someone had sent a new message.After we opened it for confirmation, we found that it was a photo sent by Luo Yuze. It seemed that we had discovered something new.

"Huh? This is?" In the center of the photo is a man and a woman standing back and forth. Because the shooting distance is too far, it is difficult to see clearly.But that’s not the point. What really caught my attention was the dozen or so figures lying behind them. Judging from the clothes and bracelets on the fallen people, they were indeed students participating in the competition. .However, you have to know that the game started less than 10 minutes ago. What happened to make this happen?

"Let's go, Lulu."

"Hey? Now? Where are you going?"

"Go to where the photo happened." Although strategically speaking, this is not a wise choice, but curiosity still controls me. If we can know what happened, it should let us know more about the rules of the game. Understanding, increase your winning rate.

Judging from the location of the photo, it should not be far from us, and we can just arrive before the matter completely subsides.

Then, when we were getting ready, a straight beam of light broke through the sky, illuminating the night sky for a moment, like the Tower of Babel in the legend of the Bible, guiding the direction of the lost.

Is that location... exactly where Luo Yuze and the others found it?

In this case, isn't it like deliberately attracting people to check it out?No matter what the situation is, this light will definitely attract those who haven't found their target. Although some people may choose to stay away because of the trap, there is no doubt that the vast majority of people will rush there.

This is simply crazy, right?Does being the focus early on do the guy doing it any good?Or……

"Well, do we still have to go there?" Lulu said a little anxiously.

"Ah, of course. No matter what, this is a great opportunity to get to know your opponent. How can you let it go so easily?" Even I didn't notice it. I must have found my face now Like a prey, let's smile cruelly like that, "It seems that tonight is destined to be a restless night."

Chapter 39 The first battle

When we arrived, the beam of light breaking through the sky had disappeared, and the earth was once again covered in darkness, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.

"Here is..." Lulu said out of breath, running all the way, it was too much for her ordinary physical fitness.

"Shh." I made a silent gesture with her, and dragged her to hide behind a huge shipping container.From the map, this should be the only port of departure for this small island, and the material circulation with the outside world is carried out by ships parked on the shore, so this area is full of container groups, and the advantage is that it is easier to hide The disadvantage of your own figure is that it is also difficult to spot others.

"Who was that just now..." Lulu lowered her voice and asked cautiously, seeming to have noticed the unusualness here.

I shook my head, meaning I didn't know either.Luo Yuze and the others might know better, but as members of the investigation team, it is impossible to stay in one place for too long, and they must have gone to other places.

Then continue to explore carefully...

"Hey, what are you doing so late, little sister?"

"Bow your head!!!!" I reacted in an instant. I pressed Lulu's shoulder with my right hand, and with this strength, I spun around and kicked behind her.

"Wow, it's dangerous!" The person who suddenly appeared behind us also reacted very quickly and raised his hands to block my kick. He stumbled back a few steps, and slammed the place that I kicked just now, " It hurts, it hurts! I didn’t expect that little sister, you are so small and strong, if it weren’t for me, you would have died just now?”

Does this guy seem to be a mortal as well?I pulled Lulu who was confused and didn't understand the situation behind me, and put on a guard posture: "Who are you?"

"Hey, hey, is there a need to be so nervous? It's just to say hello." The figure slowly came out from behind the container, and stood under the light, and I finally saw his appearance clearly.

"Where did the trash picker come from?" This was my first impression of him.

"What a disrespect! I'm a student, a student!" said the uncle speechlessly.

"Huh? You're lying? Does this school even accept men in their 40s and [-]s?" Lulu was taken aback.

"There should be. After all, even children like Weiwei can go to school, so it's not surprising that they are a little older."

"Hey, although I'm older, I'm not as good as you said! I just turned eighteen this year! I'm still in my prime!"

Lulu and I looked at him in disbelief at the same time with "who are you fooling?"

"Ah, that's enough! This is my student card! The age on it can't be faked!" The uncle took out his student card and held it up to the light.

"Gao Jun, in 1998...it really is." Lulu continued to say in surprise, glanced at the student ID card and then at the uncle, with suspicion still in her eyes, and almost said directly "Your student ID card It's fake." It's like that.

"That's right... No! Why do I want to talk to you about this! Well, but you're just here, right?" Gao Jun said.

"'Too'? So you..." I said.

"Ah, probably besides us, there should be many people attracted by that light." Gao Jun said meaningfully.

"Since we've just arrived, there's nothing to talk about, so let's not interfere with each other. Or do you want to call out your companion from the dark?" I said lightly.

"Sorry, this one from our class has caused you trouble." Another girl wearing rimless glasses stepped out of the darkness, and stood behind the man leisurely.

"Hey, Qiubai, why did you come out by yourself, didn't you agree to hide it?" Gao Jun said in surprise.

"It's been discovered anyway, so there's nothing to keep hiding. Besides, if you want to play a challenge game, you can't do it without face-to-face, right?" Qiu Bai said.

"I see, is it really a game?" I said.

"Ah, ah, there's no need to keep hiding after we've talked about it." Gao Jun showed a self-conscious smile, "That's right, since fate brought us together, why don't we have a (game) How do you describe the past? Come on, let's accept each other's 'first time'!"

"Who wants to come with you for the first time!" Lulu roared red-faced.

Gao Jun was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, isn't it the first time for you?"

"You, you, you shameless fellow!" Lulu desperately grabbed my hand, "Heavenly Chen, let's kill this disgusting fellow together!"

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?" Gao Jun asked his partner in confusion.

Qiu Bai sighed, apparently already accustomed to the habits of his companions: "Well, since something has happened, it's better not to know why."

"??? Forget it, then, let us issue the challenge!" At the same time as he issued the challenge declaration, several lights penetrated the bracelets we were wearing at the same time, and an invisible field was activated, separating the surrounding environment.

"Oh, so did the game look like this at the beginning? It's the first time I've seen it." Gao Jun looked around with interest and took a few steps back, but was immediately blocked by a transparent wall, " I see, if you don’t finish the game, you can’t leave? Ah, I think it’s quite exciting to think that I’m a man and three beautiful girls playing 4P in a closed space!”

"Damn it, you dirty bastard! Sure enough, you're thinking about something nasty! That's enough! Luo Tianchen, let's make this disgusting man disappear!" Lulu said very excitedly, apparently Can't stand that guy's dirty jokes.

"Hey? Did I say something wrong again? If there are four players, isn't it four players, or 4P for short?" Gao Jun asked suspiciously.

"That's enough, you don't need to explain anymore." Qiu Bai covered his forehead speechlessly, and said weakly, "Let's end this game as soon as possible. Staying up late is not good for your appearance."

"Hey, you don't have to worry about that, do you? Anyway, it's not too bad... Ahhh!"

Qiu Bai kicked Gao Jun to the ground without saying a word, then stomped on a few times, and then looked at us as if nothing had happened, and said, "Then, let's continue. First of all, the relationship between the two sides Score confirmation."

Above the heads of both of us, the number of points we hold each appeared. Lulu and I showed 300 points, and the other side showed 200 points.

Chapter 40 The first battle

"Then, according to the rules, this game will bet on all the points of the lesser side, which is 200 points. However, I will use my trump card at this time: the silent dealer." Qiu Bai showed his trump card On the screen, a man wearing a gentleman hat is bowing his head, holding a hand of poker in his left hand, and a few chips in his right hand, "According to the effect of my ability, I will be able to freely control the bets of the game, of course the minimum It's less than the 100 points required for the game to start, and it can't be more than the upper limit. So I chose... 100 points."

At the same time as Qiubai's words fell, the number of points floating above her and me decreased by 100 each, and they were displayed in the center of the field as the bets of the game.

"Then, since our side is the challenger, it's up to you to choose how to play. But, as this guy's ace card, 'reckless challenger'."

"Ah, is it my turn?" Gao Jun jumped up from the ground, "Then, my trump card ability is: when I am the challenger, I can choose the type of game. So, sorry, little sister .”

"... Is it really good to expose your trump card in such a way?" I said.

"Hey, anyway, with our ability, we can't hide it even if we want to, right? Rather, it's also part of the strategy." Gao Jun said triumphantly, "If you don't plan to use your trump card, then we can do it." Let’s start here first.”

"Anything." I said.

Since the opponent took the lead in using his trump card and actively lowered the bet of the game, he must have a tentative mentality. In that case, it doesn't matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he knows the information, he has already made money.That being said, of course it needs to be won if possible.

"Please choose the challenged party." The emotionless mechanical voice said in a voice that we could all hear, and because of Gao Jun's trump card, the right to choose fell into the opponent's hands.In front of them appeared five identical floating human-sized cards, on which the content of the game was written in Chinese characters.

"Guessing", "Gobang", "Stud", "Blackjack", "DND".

……what?

It is more pediatric than I imagined, no matter what kind of physical fitness is not required, it is purely a competition of intelligence and luck.In that case, it doesn't matter if it's Lulu, right?

"Hmm... they all look quite interesting, so, I'll choose this one!"

The card with "Stud" was selected, and the other cards that were not selected faded into the air.

"Huh? Is this the end?" Before Gao Jun's voice fell, the card with "Stud" started to spin, and the speed gradually increased. When it exploded, we subconsciously covered our eyes with our hands, and when we put them down again, everything in front of us became different.

The original cold and dark container group has disappeared, replaced by an antique attic, surrounded by various valuable antiques, a faint sandalwood fragrance wafts in the air, and melodious music sounds in my ears, We were sitting at the huge gambling table in the center of the attic, and the huge white chain chandelier cast bright light from above, and there were cheers and applause from the audience.

"Wow! This is it?" Gao Jun sighed, leaned out of the railing, and enthusiastically waved to the crowd below.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the interior of a casino, and we're still sitting in the most advanced seats. But if nothing else happens, this should be just a simulation effect, and we should still be in the port of the island in real. " Qiubai said.

"Huh? What about those people looking at us?" Gao Jun asked.

"It should be fake too, to match the atmosphere or something. However, this is the first time I have seen such a realistic scene." Qiu Bai praised.

My thoughts are roughly the same, but compared to the scene in front of me, I am more curious about what kind of scene will appear if I choose the other four items?Give it a try if you get a chance.

"Lulu, you... Lulu?" I glanced at Lulu beside me, and found that her figure was trembling slightly for some reason, "Are you okay?"

"No, no, no, no, no, nothing, all right?" Lulu trembled, her face pale as if she had lost blood.

"You don't look like you're okay at all."

"It's true, it's all right, I'm not afraid of so many people!"

Mistake, didn't expect this guy to be afraid of crowds?

"...Don't force yourself? They are just NPCs, so don't be too nervous."

"NPCNPCNPCNPCNPCNPC..."

No, it seems that this time she can't be counted on at all.

"Then, please get ready." The croupier who was sitting in the center of the gaming table said in an unisex mechanical voice, because his head was lowered very low, and with that big black croupier hat, So I can't see what his face looks like at all, so let's call him a dealer.Realizing that this might be the referee of the game, we sat down obediently and waited for the game to start.

The dealer continued to say in a mechanical voice: "The rules of this game are the traditional stud rules. In order to ensure fairness, the relevant rules will be recounted before the official start of the game."

Just like what we saw in the academy, a projected whiteboard also appeared behind the croupier. This should be what the rules say to try to ensure relative fairness, right?Absolute fairness cannot be achieved, because there will always be people who are good at it and people who are not good at it, but at least the rules of the game must be fully disclosed, so that one party does not completely understand it.As for winning or losing, that is a matter of luck.

In short, stud is a kind of poker game of comparison. Of course, it is different from the traditional comparison of size. Compared with luck, stud pays more attention to the calculation ability of both parties, the calculation of probability, and the ability to grasp the overall situation.The stud game uses the poker cards that have removed the king and king, a total of 52 cards.At the beginning of the game, the croupier will issue a hole card to each player, that is, a hidden card, which can only be revealed when deciding the outcome.Starting from the second card is dealt, every time a card is dealt, the one with the highest card is the first to bet.

If someone bets, those who want to continue playing can choose to call. After calling, they will bet the same chips as the previous player, or they can choose to raise. If each player feels that their cards are not good, they do not want to continue. , you can choose to give up, admit the loss and wait for the end of the game, and the chips you have called before cannot be retrieved.

The final round of betting is the key to the game, and in this round, players can stud (the stud is the largest bet that all players who have not given up can call), which is also the origin of the game's name.After all the bettors have expressed their views on the bets, they will reveal the hole cards to decide the winner.At this time, the person with the highest card can win all the chips on the table.

Chapter 41 The first battle

"Hmm..." Lulu was beside me, seeming quite distressed.

"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.
