Pleasure: "......"
Hearing Xie Antong's words, He didn't quite react for a mont, then felt a sense of absurdity.
"You just said what? Who is a pawn with you......"
"Us," Xie Antong said, pointing at herself and then at Pleasure with her hand.
"Don't you feel it? On the surface, it's us dueling in this ga, but in reality, we only need to think about the duel itself, not the matter of victory or defeat."
"The ultimate direction and pace of the ga are actually in the hands of those two guys shrouded in the black box, who have beco deaf and blind."
"Both ga changes so far have been triggered by them, haven't they? We are the executors; they are the true chess players."
"Hah!"
Before Xie Antong could even finish her words, Pleasure over there couldn't hold back anymore and laughed out loud.
"Stop talking to yourself. If you lack the confidence to control this ga yourself, just say it's your own problem."
"This is my ga, my gamble! It's just a pity I'm only up against you. To think that at this level of ga, you're still thinking about being soone else's pawn."
"Truly boring."
"Haha, the relationship between pawn and chess player was set from the very beginning."
"You're up against because you can only be up against , and you will definitely be up against . It's not your choice to make."
"Of course, I'm saying this mainly to drive a wedge between you and Death. After all, beings like you would definitely be unwilling to be pawns for soone else."
Xie Antong spoke with remarkable frankness. Right now, it was as if she had completely abandoned her brain, saying whatever ca to mind.
Pleasure: "......"
His facial expression turned sowhat ferocious. That energy-illusion face now had a twisted feel to it as he stared at Xie Antong.
"Fine, fine, fine... little girl, starting to try and turn the tables, are you...?"
"Playing psychological warfare with ? At a ti like this, you play these gas with ."
"Do you think... you are qualified?"
After a few mocking sentences, Pleasure no longer wanted to engage in this war of words with Xie Antong. He lowered his head to look at the cards in front of him.
At this mont, due to the table inversion, in front of Him were ten cards, ten cards placed face down.
His three cards were also now in front of Xie Antong. Xie Antong picked them up and was looking at them in her hand. They were the three cards: "Tiger," "Horse," "Dog."
There was not the slightest difference from what Xie Antong had previously deduced. Although she had already guessed it, this still gave her a chance for confirmation.
However, when she looked up at Pleasure, she found the other party hadn't made any move at all. He was just sitting there, not even flipping over his own cards.
Her cards were in a random order, face down on the table. Only she herself should know which card was which. What was He stalling for?
Pleasure sneered coldly, turned his head to look at the Arbitrator, and asked:
"Go on, tell us. How do we place bets in our ga now?"
The Arbitrator said:
"Due to the triggering of special circumstances, the number of chips currently on the gambling table represents all chips wagered in this gamble."
"The next two minutes are your ti to choose your thod of playing your cards. Please use your ti wisely."
As he spoke, He also pointed to the place where the original countdown had been. At this mont, more than ten seconds of the two-minute countdown there had already passed.
"You didn't know to say that earlier?"
Pleasure shot the Arbitrator a glance, then turned his head back to look at Xie Antong.
After hearing the Arbitrator's words, Xie Antong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She hadn't figured out how to play this round yet, and the ti was short.
If Pleasure used the thod of increasing chips to put pressure on her again, she might really have trouble holding on.
"What's that expression on your face? What are you thinking about, hehe."
Pleasure laughed as he spoke. Then, He finally raised His hand and placed it on one of the cards in front of Him.
But imdiately after, His action caused Xie Antong's pupils to instantly contract!
— Pleasure did not flip the card over to look at it. Instead, with a flick of His index finger, He directly flicked the card out, sending a single card flying to the very center of the card table.
And the position of that card... Xie Antong rembered very clearly. That was a...
— "7"!
As ntioned before, if she were playing normally by herself, she herself had planned to play the "7," because it was the most perfect, most well-rounded card in every aspect!
With only one chance to play a single card, that chance could only be the 7! That gave her the highest win rate.
But now, the order of play had been temporarily reversed. Her intended card had been played by the opponent, and by the looks of it, the opponent had also used up their own turn opportunity to play "one card"!
But how did He know? Logically, He hadn't deduced the rules of this ga at all.
"Your eyes suddenly look a bit weak, little girl."
"Is it unbelievable? Can't figure out why I played the card you wanted? I'm not that bored to go deducing so ga's rules."
"It's just that you don't know, 'observation' itself possesses power. That kind of energy is too subtle; you yourself couldn't possibly perceive it, but I can!"
"Although you controlled your own gaze very well, the gazes from your All-Seeing Eyes lingered on this card the longest, you know~."
Xie Antong: "?"
What?
This ti, she was completely stunned. She knew the gods' strength was formidable, that there were many abilities she didn't understand, but... He could even know where her All-Seeing Eyes were looking?
The energy of "observation"? What on earth was that!
Looking at the other's half-smiling, half-mocking expression, for a mont she couldn't distinguish at all whether what He said was true or just nonsense to bluff her.
If this ability was real, she was starting to feel unsure about how to use her All-Seeing Eyes afterward.
A blood vessel at the corner of her eye twitched a few tis. She turned her head to look at the Arbitrator beside her.
"Will the number of cards He plays this turn also consu my opportunities for the number of cards to play later?"
"Yes. If He only plays one card this round, then in the subsequent two rounds of the ga, you can only play four or five cards."
As this was a normal ga explanation, the Arbitrator gave a rare answer, though He kept His head slightly lowered.
Xie Antong stared at the solitary card on the table, sinking into contemplation. A tense emotion surrounded her.
The ga had reached this point, arriving at the absolute deciding move. In fact, this ga didn't even have five rounds at all; at most, it was four rounds!
Because after four rounds ended, the cards for the fifth round would already be determined, and victory or defeat would be set...
This round... He actually dared to play so casually like this?...
"Are you sure you're playing just this card for this round?"
