The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 494: Gambling (3)

"So...words or faces?"

The red ghost held the chip, ready to toss it at any time, and said in a sarcastic tone: "You must choose carefully, after all, this will determine what the competition event of our first battle will be. Please choose."

"Boring." Ashiya Jisuke sneered: "As you like."

The red ghost sighed, "You really are looked down upon. You actually asked me to help you choose? Even if you are the descendant of the great Yin-Yang Master, this is too arrogant, right? But if that's the case, then I will help you choose. I will choose the number side of the chips, and you will choose the pattern. Now that you have seen it clearly, I will toss it~"

He showed off the chips in a pretentious manner, then threw them gently into the air. The chips immediately spun and rushed to the highest point in the air.

But in the high-speed rotation, no one could see clearly that the human head pattern on the back suddenly opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue. It was completely like a smaller ghost. It made a strange laugh that no one could hear, and controlled that side to rotate downwards.

If nothing unexpected happens, the chip will eventually fall into the hands of the red ghost, with the number side facing up, and no one will notice.

Yoshisuke Ashiya didn't even move his eyelids, and didn't make any movement. It seemed that he didn't notice the strangeness of the chip at all. He just looked at the red demon calmly.

When the chips landed in the center of Chigui's palm, he looked at his palm with a smile and said, "The result of this chip toss is...face?!"

The red ghost's expression froze. The ghost disguised as a chip was now lying on its back with its eyes rolled back and its tongue sticking out of its mouth. It seemed that it was dead.

Many sharp-eyed exorcists also noticed the strangeness of the coin and started to curse.

"Asshole! Did you cheat just now? That was clearly a monster on your side!"

"I don't accept this result... Wait, I remember that it was Ashiya-sama who chose the noodles, right?"

"It seems that we have won." Ashiya Yoshisuke was not surprised at the result at all, and said calmly: "You seem to be surprised."

The frozen smile on Chigui's face immediately became lively. He put away the coin and said with a fake smile, "How could it be? This result is only 50-50. It's possible for anyone to win, right?

Then according to the rules, you will choose the first game. Please choose, as long as the game type exists in this game hall, all are fine. "

"Let me go first!" The bald exorcist with a rosary around his neck stepped forward, took out a stack of cards with gorgeous patterns from his arms, and said with a grin, "My name is Mikazuki Hokuto, and I'm the vanguard. Let's play Hanafuda cards. As a Yakuza, you must know how to play this, right?"

He handed the flower note to the red demon for inspection.

Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card game consisting of 48 cards with different patterns, and the patterns on the cards represent the twelve months of the year.

The reason why he said this is that according to legend, the name Yakuza was taken from the worst group in a certain game of Hanafuda, representing losers and useless people, and the extended meaning is "hooligan" and "rogue", and finally evolved into the exclusive name of the underworld.

"Oh? It's a hanafuda?" The red demon looked at the hanafuda in his hand and smiled. He didn't find anything unusual, so he returned it. Then he suddenly changed his face and cursed: "Are you looking down on people, bastard! You deliberately chose this kind of game to provoke us! Come on, who's afraid?" As soon as the words in a very gangster style were finished, a low table was lowered in the arena in the center of the venue, and a woman wearing a Prajna demon mask walked out of the darkness. She was wearing a kimono, but only half of the sleeves, revealing a white arm. She had tattoos on her body and her chest was wrapped with bandages. She knelt quietly in front of the table, waiting for her opponent to take position.

Liuliyuan Lily stared at the woman who suddenly appeared with wide eyes and asked curiously: "Is that sister also a monster?"

"No." Liuliyuan Hongming slightly raised his wide bamboo hat, looked at the woman, and then said: "That is a ghost... No, it should be said that it is a vengeful ghost."

"Eh? Vengeful spirit?!" Liuliyuan Lily exclaimed.

The red ghost spread his hands and said, "We have also sent out a vanguard. Don't underestimate this woman! She cheated a lot of money in our place, and we almost let her run away. If we hadn't found her family in the end, she would have been a major stain on my career. But fortunately, she stayed."

Although Chigui looked very proud, everyone present knew that this woman would not end well, otherwise she would not appear here.

"Sure enough." Xingchang Rang stroked his chin and muttered, "When the other party developed this nest, they also deliberately collected the souls of many gambling masters. If we go by gambling skills, we are definitely not as good as them."

Mikazuki Hokuto heard what Hoshiba Rang said, showed the Hanafuda in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, don't forget that these are the cards we prepared."

As he said that, he jumped down the pit, knelt in front of the low table, and placed the cards on the table.

Suddenly, the cards just touched the table and caught fire! Mikazuki Hokuto was shocked and quickly chanted a spell to stabilize the fire and save the remaining cards. Even so, a lot of the cards were still burned, and it seemed that at least half of them were gone.

"Oh, what's going on?" The red ghost scratched his head and said, "Is there some mechanism in the cards you brought? Forget it... Anyway, the rules are the rules. The gambling equipment is provided by the party who chooses the game. But now that so many are missing..."

The red demon snapped his fingers, and some more Hanafuda cards fell from the air and automatically stuffed into the cards brought by Mikazuki Hokuto, forming a new deck of cards.

"That's all right now." The red ghost smiled and said, "We provide a portion of it. How about that? Isn't that fair?"

Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "Little trick, let's start now."

It seems that Ashiya Yoshisuke doesn't take the other party's actions seriously at all.

"I see." The red ghost nodded, then turned his head and looked down, announcing: "Hey, let's start the vanguard battle. Don't lose, woman, or you know what will happen to you."

The masked woman trembled and then looked at the red ghost with resentment.

After determining the specific rules and gameplay, both sides began to shuffle and deal the cards. When Mikazuki Hokuto was shuffling the cards, he found that some of the cards were moving on their own, and his face looked much uglier.

The exorcists who came to watch the battle also gathered to one side of the pit and watched the battle below.
