Chapter 106 Question Mark Scepter (Ask for a monthly ticket for a subscription!)

Someone talking means someone is behind the door.

Of course, this is nonsense.

Irin slowly raised her head.

- because of cervical pain.

A sign was nailed to the door.

has words on it.

Irin carefully distinguished for 5 seconds, until the neck pain became unbearable, and finally he could see the line of text clearly.

Presbyopia and cervical spondylosis are really uncomfortable.

"Edward Nigma".

The door was not shut tightly.

Irin thought for a few seconds, rubbed his neck, and pushed the door in.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, a bed, a low table, an LCD TV screen hanging on the wall, the TV is off.

Leaning against a cane in the corner, a black umbrella.

The is covered with ash, and I don't know how long it has been used.

"Smelly fan, you are cheating!"

"Fat goose, don't talk nonsense. I look like cheating on the surface, but I'm actually seeking the truth, who am I?"

"What are you... Believe it or not I poisoned you?"

"you dare?"

"Who dare not?"

"Try?"

"Just try it!"

"Heh, heh, heh, believe it or not, I will install a riddle combination lock in your room. If you can't answer it, you won't want to go out to dinner?"

"Huh, do you think you can beat me?"

"I heard it was filet mignon for dinner."

"Then...you win this one! Come again!"

As soon as Irene walked into the room, she saw an old man with a green head to his feet, and another squat old man, squatting on both sides of the low table, playing an unknown card game.

The green old man was wearing a clean green suit, a green gentleman's hat on his head, and a smug smile on his face.

The other chubby old man was wearing slippers, pulled up his trousers, showing sparse leg hair, gritted his teeth, and had a desperate expression on his face.

The two old men, one green and one fat, didn't seem to notice Irin's arrival at all.

The chunky old man started the second game while cursing.

Are you good friends?

is the kind that lasts a lifetime.

Irin silently made a judgment on the relationship between the two old men.

Who is Edward Nigma?

For a while, Irene couldn't tell.

Originally, Irin was planning to ask for some information.

After all, he still doesn't know anything about the current situation.

He can never kill Jack again.

After all, this old bone and waist can't stand the toss at all.

Maybe because of old age and peace of mind?

Anyway, Irin is calm now.

Seeing that the two old people playing cards didn't give him a shot, Yi Rin didn't mind, his expression was calm, but he sat down on the side.

The old man with the green hat gave Irin a brief glance.

didn't say much.

The happy mini-game starts again.

Irin observed silently.

The rules of the poker game in front of you seem a bit weird.

is not even a game at all.

Fifty-two cards were spread out on the table, all covered.

Everyone can see one of the cards at will each round.

When looking at the cards, you can fool each other at will, whether it is true or false.

could say "This is a block."

or "This is a 7."

or "This is an ace of spades, do you believe it?"

If the duped party guesses correctly, it wins, but if they don't believe it, it's the next person's turn.

Simple and rude mini-games.

It can be said that there are no rules at all.

is just fooling each other to see who can fool who.

After watching a few rounds, the chunky old man lost ten games in a row. In the end, he was so angry that he almost overturned the table and left the room with a lame leg.

"Ah, life is as lonely as snow."

The old man with the green hat said this triumphantly.

The chunky old man has left.

So, the green hat is the master of this room.

Edward Nigma.

Irin, who had not spoken for a while, suddenly shook her head.

Edward suddenly looked at Yi Rin, a little puzzled: "What do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Means nothing."

Irin laughed.

"No, you must be interesting!" Yi Rin didn't say anything, but instead aroused Edward's curiosity.

"He let you do it." Yi Rin smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth curled up.

"what!"

Edward suddenly slapped the table and stood up!

"Ouch yo yo-"

A burst of low back pain made Edward's face twist again, and he slowly sat down again.

After kneading for a while, Edward finally glared at Yi Rin: "Why do you say that? Hmph, you mean, I'm not as good as that fat goose?"

Irin laughed and didn't explain, but instead asked, "Edward Nigma?"

Edward tidyed up the gentleman's hat, and his face became a little more proud: "Remember to call me wise Edward."

Irin slowly sat down opposite Edward.

"The wiser Irin."

“!”

Edward gave Irin a deep look.

Irin's expression was calm, and his eyes returned.

Fearless.

"Okay! Very good! Old man, you are challenging the wise Edward again."

Edward suddenly lowered the brim of his hat and smiled coldly.

old man?

Irin took two seconds to realize that the word "old guy" was referring to himself.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to get used to it after a while.

"Challenge?" Yi Rin laughed, "It's just a game, isn't it?"

"Game?" Edward's eyes narrowed: "Old man, this is not a game."

Old boy?

Irin silently made a point.

After delineating the key points, Yi Rin continued: "If there is no lottery, this is just a game."

"Beauty?" Edward was obviously stunned when he heard the words, but he quickly revealed a confident smile: "Old guy, what kind of luck do you want? Do you want dinner today?"

"Why not—" Yi Rin suddenly pointed to the dusty crutches in the corner, and smiled: "My legs and feet are not very convenient, and the lumbar intervertebral disc is a little bit herniated. If I win, lend me your crutches, how about you?"

"borrow?"

"Yes, it's just borrowing, there is borrowing and repayment, isn't it? Maybe we can become good friends."

Edward pondered for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with this sentence.

I won’t lose anyway.

"Old man, what if you lose?"

Irin had already thought of the words: "If I lose, you will be a wiser Edward."

"make a deal!"

Edward shuffled the cards skillfully, and danced with flowers.

Soon, fifty-two cards were neatly placed on the table.

This method.

Irin nodded secretly.

No wonder the pudgy old man said Edward cheated.

This is a shuffling method that is as proficient as the God of Gamblers. If it is said that there is nothing tricky in the shuffling, Irin will not believe it.

but…

it does not matter.

Irin's mouth curled into a smile.

If Molly, who is familiar with Irene, is here and sees this smile, you will know that someone else is going to be unlucky.

For more details, please refer to Henry Zhang’s family.

"How many rounds?"

"Five innings." Edward smiled.

Five games are enough.

Let this ignorant old guy experience Edward's wisdom.

"start!"

Edward shouted, ready to draw cards.

"and many more."

Irin suddenly stood up.

“?”

Old Edward was taken aback.

I saw Irin slowly stretch out her hand and lightly pat Edward twice on the right shoulder.

Edward looked at his right shoulder inexplicably.

I don't quite understand what this expansion is.

“?”

took a few seconds.

Irin sat down again.

"Your shoulders are a little gray, I'll pat them off for you." Yi Rin smiled kindly.

"Hey? Old man, do you think that the wise Edward will release water? In front of wisdom, everyone is equal."

"It's okay, you start."

Edward glanced at Yi Rin suspiciously, but he didn't want to understand whether Yi Rin really wanted to flatter him or was fake flattering.

But, it doesn't matter.

Wise Edward will win.

He has only lost to one person in his life, and the others are not worth mentioning.

Come, come, come!

Rush rush!

He, Edward, draw!

That is an ordinary playing card.

is really just an ordinary playing card.

Edward stared into Yi Rin's eyes with a confident tone, and said slowly, "This one in my hand is the Ace of Spades, do you believe it?"

This game actually seems to have simple rules, and there are no rules at all.

is to believe or not to believe.

But in fact, in theory, this is a game that fully experiences psychological games.

Use body, language, and eyes to create pressure on the other party.

Believe it or not, it all depends on whether the performance is realistic enough.

And… grasp the psychological changes of the other party.

When the false is true, the true is also false, and when the true is false, the false is more false.

is probably such a gameplay.

Of course, everyone understands the truth, but under normal circumstances, it is indeed a bit difficult to beat Edward.

After all... who can beat the dealer?

The old fat goose knew that Edward's gameplay was tricky, but he still played with Edward one game after another.

I don't know if it's love and murder, or because of the loneliness of the elderly, I want to find someone to accompany.

Irin "looks" at the card.

Then nodded without hesitation: "You have the Ace of Spades in your hand."

“!”

Edward, who was smiling all over his face, was instantly stunned.

He slowly put down the card in his hand, and it turned out to be an Ace of Spades!

"how do you know…"

Edward swallowed half a sentence.

This is only the first game.

Irin VS Edward…1:0.

leads temporarily.

It's ok.

"it's your turn."

Irin drew one at random.

"Queen of Hearts."

"NO."

Irin did not open the card and put it back to its original position.

There is a small rule in this little game that if the opponent doesn't believe it, they don't have to open the card, even if it is really a QUEEN of hearts, as long as the opponent doesn't believe it, it means no.

The key rule of is - if the card is not turned over, it must be put back in its original position.

Edward had almost no hesitation and directly rejected it.

The score remains unchanged.

It's Edward's turn...Draw!

The wise Edward drew one with great arrogance.

"Blocks!"

Irin gave another "look" with an expressionless face.

"NO!"

“?”

Edward originally wanted to lure Yi Rin with a small trap like "probability of 1 in 4", but he didn't expect Yi Rin to be cunning and cunning, so he wouldn't take the bait.

"interesting."

Edward became interested.

The essence of this game, in fact, is not only a psychological game, but also a test of memory.

In the process of drawing cards, it is also the process of reading cards.

Everyone has a chance to read the card on their turn.

If the other party does not believe it, it must be put back in place.

The more you see , the clearer you will have control over the entire game.

This is a tug-of-war game.

In the end, if you have a good memory, the entire game will almost become a clear card.

is about who is more Alzheimer's, who can't remember more, and who's acting is worse.

is an excellent casual game for the elderly to pass the time after dinner.

In this yard, it is very fire.

Whoever loses will be hung with a "senile dementia" sign on his chest for a whole week.

can be called an ominous old age and is extremely embarrassing.

But in this courtyard, the wise Edward never lost.

Not once.

Not this time either!

Next, the two went back and forth.

almost watched the entire game.

A full 2 minutes passed.

Neither Irene nor Edward scored again.

"This…"

Edward was speechless.

If it goes on like this, there is no way to tell the winner.

If insists on dividing, Irin wins.

After all, at the beginning, Edward had the mentality of having a little fun, and let Irene get one point.

Edward did not dare to underestimate the little old man across from him.

He believed that the memory of the other party was not under his own.

The deck of cards on the table is now equivalent to the open card.

Unless you play until dark and exhausted, you can't tell the winner.

is a bit difficult!

Edward twisted his waist, and after sitting for a long time, it hurt a little.

Irin silently opened the apostle panel and took a look.

suddenly smiled: "It's not the way to go on like this, why don't we upgrade the game?"

"Oh?" When Edward heard this, he seemed to be interested: "How to upgrade?"

"Simple, you and I remember this game very clearly. It's not interesting to play. It's better to draw 15 cards at the same time when drawing cards, and then choose five of them to form a hand. If you guess correctly, you will win. One rule - no matter YES or NO, as long as you can't guess, you lose."

hiss—

There is heating in the house.

Edward couldn't help taking a breath of heat when he heard it.

This gameplay is really... so exciting!

"I like it! Hehehe, come!"

"You first."

Humility to the elderly is a virtue.

Although he is also an old man now.

Irin silently closed his eyes, expressing that he was too lazy to peek.

In fact, it makes no difference whether you look at it or not.

Edward quickly took 15 cards from the deck and formed a hand at the bottom of the table.

By the way, the composition of the deck follows the classic stud rules.

Edward sneered and didn't plan to play any more.

- Now it's time to blow up the king directly.

Anyone can remember what these 15 cards are.

Of course, those meaningless combinations are not in line with Edward's style, and he will definitely not use them.

Irin calculated silently in her heart.

Use permutations and combinations of formulas.

As we all know, there are 360,360 combinations of 5 cards from 15 cards, and 3,003 combinations even if they are not sorted.

Next…

is the peak of the psychological game!

Only by predicting the opponent's pre-judgment can you win this **** little game!

"Straight Flush of Spades!"

Edward smiled coldly.

He knew that Irene could remember that out of the 15 cards he had chosen, two straight flushes of spades could be formed.

But think about it the other way around... In short, you can guess the brain haemorrhage.

Irin opened her eyes and seized the time.

One more "look".

"YES!"

Clap.

Edward was stunned.

All the cards in his hand fell above it.

Those five cards are actually five consecutive spades.

"Forget it, I lost."

Edward lowered his head and muttered something.

He didn't make the third inning.

In fact, from the very beginning, he had memorized most of the cards when shuffling the cards.

But even so, he still lost two games.

In the last round, even if his old face was a little thick, he was too lazy to continue.

What he didn't expect was that the old man on the opposite side was more cunning and treacherous than his wise Edward.

He did not lose in wisdom.

—but was defeated by the cunning of the opponent!

Irin stood up.

Legs are a little sore.

walked behind Edward.

At this moment, Edward did not see, on the roof, a nearly transparent shadow silently returned to Irin's body.

"Hee hee hee, how are you, master!"

Bai Xiaoyi joked with a voice that only Yi Rin could hear, and returned to Yi Rin's body.

Irin glanced at the 20% of her psionic energy that was almost consumed, and let out a sigh of relief.

In this day and age, who can't cheat?

Is it just you?

When Yi Rin patted Edward on the shoulder as early as, taking advantage of the other party's sight and attention being diverted, he quietly released the spirit body Bai Xiaoyi and hid in the air.

After entering the room, he also sensed it with "psychic power" for the first time, and there was no monitoring equipment in this room.

He could know Edward's cards because Bai Xiaoyi provided "vision".

But the consumption of psionic energy is too much.

If it is delayed a little longer, there is the possibility of revealing the stuffing.

certainly.

Irin isn't completely helpless either.

In case it really can't be dragged on, or this old guy suddenly wants to turn his head...

Directly send a "calamity haunted" and paste it up to finish.

Anyway, the elderly suffer from convulsions, cerebral hemorrhage, epilepsy, insufficient blood supply to the brain from time to time, and they can be easily fooled without any problems.

In short...steady.

After Yi Rin took away Bai Xiaoyi, the declining psionic power began to slowly recover.

Irin moved her sore legs.

Go to the corner.

The shape of the umbrella was a bit strange, but Irin didn't touch the black umbrella when he said he could get the stick.

If you guessed correctly, it should be something of a chunky old man.

After all, they seem to have deep feelings for each other, and it is not surprising that their respective things are put together.

It doesn't differentiate between you and me anyway, isn't it?

Entering the room from Irin, I noticed the crutches and umbrella in the corner.

This is as conspicuous as the red hammer on flight 444 when he was preparing for the trial of the apostles.

If it's not weird... it's really weird.

Apostles with a little experience will not miss the various props in the trial.

will also try to get hold of it.

Irin pressed the cane directly.

The armrest of the crutch has a unique shape with a hook that looks like a big question mark.

“?”

Don't complain about the shape first.

Irin held the question-shaped crutch in his hand, and the attributes of the crutch appeared in front of him.

…

【Question Mark Scepter】

【Grade】Epic

【Durability】400/3000

【Effect】"Criminal Puzzle"

【Explanation】"The Riddler" Edward Nigma's exclusive equipment, non-equipment owners cannot play the true effect of the equipment. Current Attribution: Edward Nigma. Note: Cannot be brought out of this world.

…

"Epic?"

Irin's heart sank a little.

turned out to be epic?

But this is durable...

It will shatter within a few taps!

Is it really an antique!

Irin already owns a more precious enchanted weapon than the epic level, as well as the unknowingly growing parasitic equipment "Grievance". When he saw the [Question Mark Scepter] in his hand, he was not very happy.

After all, it is obvious that this is a piece of equipment that is more focused on function and may not be suitable for everyone.

"Is it useless to borrow?"

Irin already understood after reading the attributes.

Even if he can "borrow" the Question Mark Scepter from Edward, he cannot use the effect that comes with the weapon.

for knocking?

Knock...knock...nothing to knock.

Maybe someone didn't knock to death, this question mark scepter itself GG first.

is inappropriate.

Irin has some regrets.

There is another way to change owners of this epic equipment.

that is…

Irin turned her head and glanced at Edward's neck.
