Knight Asylum

"Can it really be done? As far as I know, Servier Turria has always been passive in dealing with the Semi-Ultimate Game in the past twelve years and has never successfully stopped the Semi-Ultimate Game."

"That's because our command is too conservative and believes that the Ge Group cannot be defeated. However, we have not just been passive in the past twelve years. Some of us have been working hard to stop the semi-ultimate game. And just last night, our team successfully designed a plan to stop the semi-ultimate game."

Asano, who was in the center, stood up, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward.

"I assure you all, the days of the Kuzu Group's semi-ultimate game being an unstoppable disaster are over! From today on, no one will ever die in Kuzu Gamego Le's semi-ultimate game again. Not even a brick will break! You can now go back to your lives without worry, and this is just the beginning!"

Not even a brick will break?

Can you now go back to your life with peace of mind?

Reid's heart skipped a beat. According to his battle plan, they would have to withstand Gamego's full-strength attack, and at least three of the seven prepared defense walls would be completely destroyed. And now Servais Tullia not only stopped the defense work, but also asked those evacuated residents... to go back?

There is only one possibility, Servius Turia, or Yamato Hidenari does not intend to let Gamego get the highest value chip.

Thinking of this, Red began to feel uneasy. He probably understood what Yamato Hidenari was thinking.

Gurongi will only kill people according to the game content he has set and will never break his own rules.

During non-game time, even if Gurongi is attacked, he will not fight back, let alone retaliate against anyone.

In Gamego's semi-ultimate game, the number of attacks is determined by the number of the highest value chips. If you don't get any chips with the highest value, you can't kill anyone. Killing someone is against the rules. The semi-ultimate game is over. Even if you realize that you have been tricked, you can't retaliate, because if you accidentally kill someone, you will violate the rules of the killing game itself.

Therefore, theoretically, the optimal solution is to prevent Gamego from getting any chips, but this optimal solution is based on not respecting Gamego's rules. If Gamego also does not respect human rules, or simply changes the rules of the game next time, then everything will be over.

"Open the cards——"

Yamato Hidenari snapped his nails and was too lazy to even look at the cards.

He lost the Pair vs Full House, and the five chips he bet were pushed to Gamego's side, and Gamego slowly pushed out the chips he won and the original five chips together.

“All in.”

Yamato Hidenari yawned and threw out ten chips. "I heard that you are called a legend in the casino, an undefeated king favored by fate? But in my opinion, you are just that."

"Wow——" Gamego raised his eyes slightly, his expression extremely calm.

"You always go all in without even looking at the cards. At first glance, it seems like you are really impressive, but in my eyes, your generosity is just that. How many chips do you have to go all in? How many chips do you have to go all in, and how many times do you have to win for me to take you seriously?"

"Do you know why I don't look at the cards? I'm different from those idiots. I just think this is too boring. If I don't give you some chips, I'll almost fall asleep out of boredom."

Yamato Hidenari glanced at the detention personnel next to him, and after confirming that they had filmed the scene, he raised his chin with satisfaction and continued his talk.

Even though he had provoked her to this extent, Gamego did not lose control of his rage, which meant that their speculation was correct. The qualified people of the Ge Group respected the killing game very much and would never violate the rules of the game they set, so there was no need to worry about Gamego's revenge after the game was over.

perfect!

Thinking of this, Yamato Hidenari couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and he was even more dismissive of U.

He clearly has the ability to control the semi-ultimate games of the Kuzu Group's qualified players, but he actually plans to follow Gurongi's rules and let Gamego attack once?

ridiculous!

When this semi-ultimate game is over, he will release this video and let all of humanity see how he manipulated the disasters that were judged to be uncontainable, the qualified people of the Ge Group, into his hands.

"Open the cards——"

The dealer turned over Yamato Hidenari's cards with a rather unhappy tone.

Three Queens plus a pair of tens, a full house.

"Tsk - what a pity... I didn't expect the winner to be decided so quickly," Yamato Hidenari was not just talking nonsense, he really felt sorry. He won after only a few bets, and it was impossible to tell that he had Gamego in his hands.

"It's hard to say."

"Huh? You can be better than me--"

The dealer opened the cards, and four glaring Ks caught Yamato Hidenari's eyes. Accompanied by a sharp crash, Yamato Hidenari stood up suddenly, his pupils shrinking slightly.

The ten chips that Yamato Hidenari threw onto the gambling table were pushed into Gamego's hands.

"I like the King card, especially the King of Spades. It is said that the prototype of the King of Spades is the legendary King David in ancient Israel."

"He is obviously a weirdo, but he knows human history. What kind of weirdness is this?" Yamato Hidenari said with a stiff expression.

He didn't care at first, but when he saw his full house being destroyed by four kings, he had to admit that he couldn't hold it anymore, as if he was the one being fooled.

"I have a lot of time, but my favorite part is the one where David defeated the giant Goliath. He refused the battle suit and used only five stones to defeat the invincible giant and cut off his head. His courage was rewarded by fate."

Gamego raised his hand and pushed all twenty chips out.

“Only those who have such awareness and confidence can become legends and kings.”

Yamato Hidenari swallowed hard, he still had a lot of chips in his hand, because he had never considered making Gamego's chips of the highest value, so Ouroboros was very generous in spending a lot of money, and even joked with Hong Shang Mitsuo and asked whether Hong Shang Fund had enough chips in reserve.

Although he knew that Gamego could never win, Yamato Hidenari had a horrible premonition that he was being chased by Gamego and was about to have his throat cut, as if... he was the Goliath that Yamato Hidenari mentioned.

Damn it - how dare you play tricks on me!

Yamato Hidenari took a deep breath and sat back, smiling with his face but not his eyes.

"Then I suggest you go to college to check the odds."

Just once!

He only needs to win once!

Chapter 49: Supernatural Ignition, Scorch Marks

Because the pace of life in Kuisu District is relatively slow, and the way humans and monsters get along is more harmonious than in Xingsu District, it is nicknamed the Retirement District. When many monsters and humans are mentally exhausted, they will run to Kuisu District to find a homestay to sleep for a day, and then go shopping in the food street. If they are lucky, they may even encounter a festival or a fireworks display.

The supernatural fire incident occurred in a remote church in Kuisu District, or to be more precise, on the first floor of a five-story vacant building next to the church.

With the help of Mobile Pegasus's navigation, Red quickly found the church where the supernatural ignition incident occurred and found the relevant person in charge.

"May I ask what happened at that time?" Reid, who had already adjusted his state, took out his notebook with a serious expression.

The priest in charge was surprised for a moment, and then he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead. "Our fire-fighting facilities have been inspected by the fire department, and there are no problems!"

"Uh……"

"We didn't say there was any problem with your fire protection," Qiao couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem. Sorry, this is really weird. Please follow me."

The priest coughed awkwardly, raised his hand towards the building next to the church, and then took a step forward. Red and Qiao looked at each other and followed him.

Arriving in front of the building, Qiao couldn't help but complain, "Did there really happen a fire here?"

Even Reid couldn't help but look at the identity.

It was very simple, because the building in front of him had no trace of the fire that had occurred yesterday. Not only was there no remaining smell of burning, but the walls were also snow-white and the doors were even made of wood.

The priest paused, said nothing, just shook his head, walked forward, untied the chain, pushed the door open with force, and made way for his body.

Red walked forward with a look of surprise on his face, and gasped after just a glance. This seemed to be a classroom before. There were various tables and chairs on both sides of the room. In the empty space in the middle, ten chairs were arranged in a circle, and nine of the chairs had horrifying black human-shaped burn marks on them, but the strange thing was that the wooden chairs showed no signs of being burned at all.

Reid realized the seriousness of the problem, took out his cell phone from his pocket, took pictures and asked, "What was this place used for before?"

"It was a nursery a few years ago, but after the Meteor Academy incident, Servier Turia provided a free, more secure nursery, and it became abandoned. We thought it would be empty anyway, so we opened it to the public for free. Now it's being used by some people from the Peace Society, who meet here every once in a while," the priest glanced at the ten chairs placed in the center and let out a long sigh.

"An Hao Hui?" Qiao, who was just about to stick his head out, was stunned.

“To put it simply, it’s a group of residents who have been left with indelible psychological or physical scars by [S.L] talking to each other,” the priest shook his head.

"Residents? That means the members of the Peace Society are not only humans but also weirdos?" Reid keenly noticed the key words in the priest's mouth.

"Well - whether it is human or monster, the Lord treats everyone equally. Everyone who comes here is a lost lamb in need of salvation," the priest's eyes were wandering.

"Ha... then this matter is probably related to the weirdo."

Red changed direction and took a few more photos. After looking closely at the scorch marks on the chair for a while, Red confirmed that the chair had not been burned. But what was even more strange was the scorch marks themselves...

Red stood up and glanced at the other eight chairs. Although they were of different sizes, the burn marks on each chair were exactly the same and very clear.

Being burned to death is definitely one of the most painful ways to die in the world. He did not think that the people of the Anhao Society had the terrible willpower to remain motionless even when being burned to charcoal. Considering the fact that there were only a few burn marks on the wooden chair, there was only one possibility left.

Something instantly burned the nine members of the Anhao Club into black scorch marks, and the moment was so fast that the wooden chairs did not have time to be ignited.

"Father, are there any surveillance cameras here?" Reid frowned, his eyes fixed on the only chair without any burn marks.

"Uh..." The priest's eyes flickered.

"No way, you don't have any surveillance in this day and age," Qiao rolled his eyes, "You guys are not using the nursery as a cover to do something secretly, are you?"

"Uh - I don't know, I just came last year," the priest scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

Hey, hey, hey - why don't you deny the speculation that the nursery was used as a cover-up?

The corner of Red's mouth twitched slightly, "Then is there a list of people from the Peace Club?"

"Well - to be precise, this building has been donated to everyone. Anyone can come," the priest looked up at the sky, his voice getting lower and lower.

"That is to say... you don't even know who is coming?!" Qiao raised his voice.

The priest scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

"Okay - if you keep talking, next time something like this happens, people will just pretend they don't know," Red sighed and waved to Qiao.

Qiao Xian glanced at the priest who was obviously feeling guilty, turned away, folded his arms across his chest and stopped talking.

"Father, I'm sorry, my friend speaks a little bluntly, don't mind it, but you'd better install some surveillance and prepare a registration form," Reid walked up to the priest and patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, yes, yes," the priest nodded vigorously.

"Of course, I will apply to Servier Turia for a safety inspection here later," Red smiled and gave a thumbs up, "Don't forget it."

The priest, who had originally thought of just giving it a perfunctory response, suddenly froze and revealed a smile that was even more miserable than crying.

"Come to think of it, there can't be no surveillance camera around here, Mr. Priest," Reid raised his hand and put it on the priest's shoulder.

Qiao blinked his eyes, suddenly realized what was going on, walked around to the other side, raised his hand and pressed it on the priest's shoulder. On his other hand, he crossed the nails of his index finger and thumb and flicked them. "If it's not there, that would be terrible. We have to apply for a lot of safety inspections."

"Gu-Dang, of course there is! How could there not be? I'll take you there right now!"

Red and Qiao raised their heads at the same time and smiled at each other.

Casino Royale.

"All in," Gamego calmly pushed all 160 chips at the highest level forward.

Yamato Hidenari, who was sitting opposite Gamego, had his eyes jump wildly. He had to admit that Gamego's momentum of going All in every time was really terrifying. Of course, what was even more terrifying was that Gamego won every time, and the chips were increasing at an extremely terrifying speed. If he continued to bet against Gamego with the same chips, his chips would be tied by Gamego after a few more rounds.

After thinking for a while, Yamato Hidenari grinned, grabbed a few cards from the box and threw them onto the gambling table, "Open the cards."

The dealer's eyes jumped fiercely, "Hey——"

"Huh? What's wrong? I just think that there is no need to bet so much at once." Yamato Hidenari blinked and shrugged helplessly. "Of course, if you think this is not okay, I can go back today."

The dealer was about to explode when Gamego suddenly asked, "Are you sure you want to bet like this?"

Yamato Hidenari, who was a little panicked at first, became alert, crossed his legs and spread his hands, "Of course, I'm not forcing you to accept it. If you like, I can leave now, but... I don't know when I will be back. It may be the day after tomorrow, or it may be a week later. By the way, how long is your semi-ultimate game? It seems to be--"

"Open the cards——"

Before Yamato Hidenari could finish his words, Gamego snapped his fingers in the direction of the dealer.

The dealer leaned over to open the cards, and as if it was a mockery of fate, Yamato Hidenari got a ridiculously shabby deck of cards.

Yamato Hidenari raised his eyebrows slightly. He never believed in the wind direction and fate mentioned by gamblers, but this deck of cards slapped him hard in the face. Although he lost before, he had never been dealt such bad cards.

"You have a trick. I don't know what tricks you played, but my luck is really not very good today. I don't want to play anymore," Yamato Hidenari put his hands behind his head and stretched out his voice.

"So... you don't want to gamble anymore?" Gamego narrowed his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong, I never said I wouldn't gamble anymore, it's just that today - well, the wind direction isn't very good, and I don't want to give these precious chips to you for nothing."

Yamato Hidenari put his hands on the table, stood up, straightened his clothes, and glanced at Gamego casually.

People standing by the gambling table closed the boxes of chips and took them away.

"The gambling will continue at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Of course, you can ignore my invitation. Anyway..."

Yamato Hidenari paused and sneered, "In the next forty-eight hours, only the Royal Casino will be open in [S·L]. The only one who can let you get the highest value chips... is me."

After saying this, Yamato Hidenari shook his clothes and left in style. The accompanying rescue troops also collected their guns and evacuated in an orderly manner. Soon, only Gamego and a few dealers were left in the Royal Casino.

The dealer in charge of dealing the cards was silent for a long time and then said apologetically, "Mr. Gamego, I'm really sorry. I will protest to President Hong Shang later."

"no need."

Gamego took off his black round-brimmed hat and placed it on the gambling table, crossed his fingers, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“This is destiny’s call.”

The dealer opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the gambling table they had moved away. Red and Gamego's cards on the table had not been opened yet. If Yamato Hidenari had not intervened, that gambling game would have decided everything.

After hesitating for a long time, the dealer resisted the urge to open the cards, bowed and left. Gamego was the only one left in the entire Royal Casino, sitting at the gambling table with his eyes closed.
