"Is this loser's revival match still a cage match? I like cage matches, I can be the last one standing." Brown bear Jeffrey Dahmer licked his lips and looked at the tabby cat girl and the white snake gentleman hiding in the crowd.

Sakakibara's expression remained unchanged, but his Adam's apple moved slightly.

Feeling uneasy, the tabby cat girl shrank behind the tall parrot woman, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. She didn't want to confront the brown bear. She only wanted to experience that once, and she didn't want to experience it a second time.

"The loser's revival match will be the [Standstill Roulette], and the specific rules will be explained after the card game is over." Shi Shen's voice was steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart.

Jeffrey Dahmer's fans were a little dissatisfied that the resurrection match was not a cage match. When they were about to clamor to change the game, they saw Shi Shen's cold gaze and suddenly became silent, as if their previous dissatisfaction had never appeared.

The host Shi Shen pushed open the door behind him and said to everyone: "I will wait for you in the duel room." After that, he turned and walked in.

Everyone's eyes followed Shi Shen into the room. There was an antique wooden table in the room, and the light was a little dim compared to the bright Room 2.

Mingyue stood in the distance and took a quick look at the duel room. She did not find any mechanical devices. There were no windows in the room and the low ceiling made people feel very depressing.

"The game is being played in the room, so we can't see it!" The gamblers who had placed bets on the outcome of the game were very dissatisfied.

Some gamblers wanted to enter the duel room, but were stopped by the strong man guarding the door. The gamblers who were afraid of the host and the strong man could only stand at the door.

"We should be the only ones allowed in. I wonder if we can watch the fights of others." The man with the red fox mask looked down at Ooka Momiji and asked in a low voice, "What cards do you have in your hand?"

Ooka Hongye generously showed the number on the metal card to the man in the red fox mask, "I asked Xiaoyue, and her card is the same as mine."

Scotland nodded slightly, "I guess the cards in the envelopes are all the same."

"I'm afraid there will be some differences." Bourbon's eyes were always on the other participants, his eyes slightly narrowed, trying to see the numbers on their cards, but unfortunately he failed.

Mingyue looked at Bourbon and suggested, "Why don't we go into the room and watch a few matches. We should be able to analyze what cards the others have in their hands."

Lei glanced at the evil puppeteer who was walking towards them and whispered a reminder: "You can't form an odd-numbered alliance in this game, otherwise a card that cannot be eliminated will appear in the team."

The red fox masked man nodded in agreement, and noticed that the black horse Persephone was turning her wheelchair towards them. He added: "There are already a lot of people in our alliance. If someone wants to join, they will probably be targeted by the other participants."

"At this stage, I don't agree with cooperating with others." Scotland put forward his own point of view, "The relationship should not be strained. As long as we use up all the cards in our hands and do not become a 0-win participant, we will not enter the loser's revival match, but we must find a way to let the rabbit win more victories."

Bourbon looked around and, just as he had expected, the remaining seventeen participants with letter name tags were gathered in groups of two or three.

Mingyue's half-moon eyes looked around at the three bottles of whiskey and the man in the red fox mask.

As agreed, Bourbon rejected the evil puppeteer's joining, and Scotland gently persuaded the dark horse Persephone to withdraw.

In the distance, the tabby cat girl stood beside the underworld princess Mafia Karen and glanced at the gray rabbit secretly. But Mingyue was keenly aware of it, and Mingyue raised her lips slightly and looked over.

The tabby cat girl quickly retracted her gaze and whispered to Mafia Karen, "My method is absolutely foolproof..."

"Miss..." The elk housekeeper hesitated to speak.

Mafia Karen raised her hand, touched the metal card in her hand, and whispered, "I can feel the number on the card. I think Miss Fukunaga's plan is very good."

Facing Mafia Karen's praise, the tabby cat girl Fukunaga Yuji's eyes sparkled with excitement, "We agreed that if you win, you must choose me to avoid entering the loser's revival match."

"When did I ever break my promise?" Mafia Karen's voice gradually turned cold.

The tabby cat girl Fukunaga Yuji shuddered and put on a flattering smile on her face, even though she knew that the underworld princess couldn't see it.

Unlike the Mafia, the three people from the Apocalypse Church are now as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They have invited many people, but all of them were rejected.

After all, the rest of the people only need to win 1 game and use up the cards in their hands, and then they can sit back and wait for the game to end. As an odd-numbered combination, one of the three members of the Apocalypse Church will definitely enter the loser's revival match.

Although they might be dragged into the loser's revival match if they refuse to accept the Apocalypse, they don't want the Brown Bear to be the last one before knowing the rules of the loser's revival match, so they should blame the fact that they only have three people in the team.

The rest of the people communicated with each other in pairs, and some even took out cards to simulate.

Bourbon rested his chin on his hand and thought, "Perhaps there is more than one winner of this game."

The man in the red fox mask nodded slightly.

"Someone entered the room." Lei saw the crimson hedgehog-headed man and the white snake gentleman enter the duel room together.

Almost all the participants with letter name tags rushed into the duel room. They originally thought that other people were not allowed to watch the duel, but those burly men wearing blank masks did not stop Mingyue and his group.

The duel room was slightly larger than it looked from the outside. Mingyue thought it would be very stuffy, but when she was actually there, she didn't feel that way.

A lamp shines directly on the quaint wooden table, making people's eyes focus there involuntarily.

Shi Shen looked around and said, "Participants who are ready to compete, please stand on both sides of the table."

Sakakibara looked at the man wearing a white horse mask beside him. His crimson hedgehog hair was particularly eye-catching. "Want to compete based on luck?"

"Well, I want to finish this boring game quickly." The man on the white horse walked to the other side of the table, chewing gum in his mouth, looking indifferent.

Shi Shen looked at the men standing on both sides of the wooden table, "Mr. Bai Ma, Mr. Bai She, are you ready? Please put the numbered cards on the table face down."

Sakakibara read the cards in his hand over and over again, and looked up at the man on the white horse blowing bubbles across the table. This man came to him immediately after the host announced the rules of the game, and even showed him the numbers on his hand.

Could it be that this man really didn't want to play anymore? He would rather leave the outcome to the fate of the game. No, that couldn't be the case. Sakakibara denied his own conclusion in his mind, and immediately frowned.

Could it be that he had already figured out how to win this game? Sakakibara was surprised by his own thought.

"Hurry up!" The white horse man with crimson hedgehog hair said dissatisfiedly. He had already placed a card on the table.

The first round is usually a test. The opponent will not play the largest number 3. It is more likely to play 1 or 2, so I should choose this one. Sakakibara stared at the back of the card on the opponent's table for a long time, and finally took a card from the deck and put it on the table like the white horse man.

"Please turn over your cards." Shi Shen's low voice sounded.

Sakakibara turned over the card in front of him, and the number 3 flashed coldly under the light. However, to his surprise, the white horse man also played 3.

"Neither side scored any points." Shi Shen announced the result directly and took back the cards.

"Po!" The bubble blown by the man on the white horse burst. He used his tongue to roll the gum stuck on his lips into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He looked at the man wearing the white snake mask with a playful look on his face, "I didn't expect you to come up with the same idea as me."

Sakakibara smiled and said, "It's a game that relies on luck after all." But he became more alert.

"Heh." The man on the white horse chuckled, "You're right." After that, he put a card on the table.

"Please play your cards, Mr. White Snake."

Sakakibara guessed from his behavior that Mr. Hakuba was an extremely conceited man, so he would most likely play 3 again. If that was the case, even though the opponent would not be able to score, his chances of winning would be lowered, so he would play a relatively conservative 3 this time.

Following the host Shi Shen's command, two cards with cold light were turned over at the same time. Sakakibara widened his eyes. He didn't expect that the opponent also played 2. It was a draw again and neither side scored.

"Oh, my luck is so bad." The man on the white horse casually spit out the gum in his mouth, put a card on the table, raised his chin, and urged, "Hurry up, it's your turn."

Ooka Hongye leaned over to Mingyue's ear and whispered, "Little Moon, do you think they will tie this round?"

Mingyue shrugged, her lips curled slightly, "It's hard to say, after all, this is a game of luck."

Lei glanced at Mingyue, and then returned his gaze to the card on the table. Scotland and Bourbon did not pay attention to the game, but went to get information. They tried to verify whether the card with a number greater than 3 existed.

Sakakibara, who was sitting at the wooden table, frowned. He was a little undecided at this moment, and finally chose the relatively conservative number 2.

The host Shi Shen collected the cards and announced, "This time, Mr. White Snake wins and gets one point, while Mr. White Horse gets no points."

The man on the white horse slammed a card on the table and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Damn, my luck is so bad. Let's play again!"

After staring at the back of the cards on Hakuba's desk for a few seconds, Sakakibara lowered his eyes to look at the cards in his hand and fell into deep thought.

The opponent has already tried 123, what will he do this time?

In the first round, after learning about my profession, the opponent probably thought that a doctor should be a relatively conservative person, so he played 3, thinking he would win me, but he didn't expect it to be a draw.

In the second round, the opponent played 2, and in the third round, he played 1. From this, we can see that the opponent is not a conceited young man, but a man with a deep mind.

So what card should I play in the fourth round? Or what number is the card that the opponent has placed on the table? After thinking it over again and again, Sakakibara put a card on the table. Every time he played a card, he felt like he was groping in the dark, not knowing whether light or abyss was waiting for him ahead.

As the two cards were turned over, Shi Shen announced the result of this round, "Mr. White Snake gets another point."

Sakakibara slowly exhaled and watched the host take away his number 3 card, but he didn't expect the other party to play 1. He thought: Did he think I would play 1 this time?

The opponent has played 1 for two consecutive rounds, and the next round will definitely not be 1. I have already scored two points, and the opponent still has zero points, so next, the opponent should play 2 or 3. Sakakibara speculated in his heart, and saw the white horse man look indifferent and casually put a card on the table.

"My card is small, so hurry up and don't dilly-dally." The man on the white horse urged.

However, Sakakibara frowned, wondering what the other party meant by this sentence. Was he trying to lure him into playing the number 2? He only had the number 2 in his hand now, or was the other party lying and actually playing a big card?

Before he knew it, Sakakibara had fallen into a swamp of suspicion.

Under the constant urging of the white horse man, Sakakibara dropped a card.

"Please turn over the cards."

Sakakibara's palms were covered with sweat. He took a deep breath and turned the card over. He also saw the number 1 on the other party's card. That simple number made his heart sink suddenly.

A barely perceptible light flashed in the eyes of the man on the white horse.

"Neither team scored in this inning."

The man on the white horse looked at the cards that were taken away and chuckled, "What? You thought I was lying? You don't even want the points I gave you, you're so stupid. Hurry up and stop dilly-dallying."

Sakakibara frowned, he now had two 1s, a 2 and a 3 in his hand. He calculated the cards in the white horse man's hand in his mind. If he remembered correctly, the other party should have two 3s and two 2s. He would at least let the other party get two points. If he didn't handle it well, the other party would most likely get three points, and he would probably not get any points.

The next few rounds were crucial. Sakakibara regretted that he should not have kept the 1 card for later. After thinking it over, he decided to play the 1 card first. When he put the card down, Sakakibara's heart was in his throat, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.

As expected, the man on the white horse chose the number 2 and scored.

Sakakibara took a deep breath, feeling a little regretful for not using his smallest 1 to exchange for the opponent's largest 3. At this time, the white horse man was out of character and did not play his cards in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the cards in his hand again and again.

Both sides knew that the last three rounds were crucial.

At this time, White Snake Sakakibara had 2 wins, while White Horse Man had only 1 win.

Sakakibara held the biggest card in his hand, the 3, his palm was full of sweat, and the card became slippery in his hand, as if it would slip off at any time. Sakakibara knew that if he didn't handle the seventh game well, the opponent would most likely win two games in a row, and he would not be able to score any more points.

（即榊原的3与白马的3平，榊原的1输给白马的2，榊原的2输给白马的3。）

In that case, the opponent's total score will be three points, while you will only have two points. Although you will not be eliminated, what if there are other unexpected changes?

The best result is to let the opponent get one more point and the other two games are tied, or to win one more game, so that both sides have the same score.

（双方皆2胜，即榊原的3与白马的3平，榊原的2与白马的2平，榊原的1输给白马的2。）

（双方皆3胜，即榊原的3胜白马的2，榊原的2输给白马的3，榊原的1输给白马的3。）

Their eyes met in the air, sparking a spark of tension and vigilance. After a brief lull, they both put their cards on the table at almost the same time...
