Play Speak
"I'll be the banker." After saying this, Ooka Hongye took a deep breath and decided to follow the method taught by the man in the red fox mask.
The host Shi Shen handed the ivory ball to Miss Pink Rabbit, "In the first round, Miss Pink Rabbit will be the banker."
Ooka Momiji reached out to take it and pulled open the lid on the cylinder in the center of the roulette wheel.
Seeing this, the man in the red fox mask clenched his fingers into fists and held his breath.
Everyone was staring at the red leaves at Ooka. There was complete silence all around, and no one even dared to breathe loudly.
Ooka Momiji loosened her fingers, and the white ball disappeared at the top of the cylinder without making any sound.
Just as planned from the beginning, Mingyue held her chin with her hand, watching calmly, with the corners of her lips slightly raised.
The three bottles of whiskey stared nervously at the two bunny ladies.
"Now please place your bets, Miss Pink Rabbit."
Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue who was sitting opposite her and said, "Let's decide the winner in one game."
Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, "One round?"
"Yes!" Ooka Hongye nodded vigorously, "Number 1, I bet 99."
Mingyue chuckled, "If you want to decide the winner, don't keep any. Number 1, I bet 100."
The man in the red fox mask felt a jolt in his heart; his trick had indeed been seen through.
The host Shi Shen pressed the small cover on the cylinder, and the ball rolled into the area with number 1 as expected. "Both ladies bet correctly. In the next round, Miss Gray Rabbit will be the banker." After that, he handed the white ivory ball to Gray Rabbit.
Ooka Hongye looked at the 100 chips in front of him, tried to adjust his breathing, and comforted himself in his heart: As long as I can see through Xiaoyue's lies, I can get the chips back. I'm afraid that Xiaoyue will use all the chips, then I have a % chance of losing all the chips, but also a % chance of getting more chips.
"Please place your bet, Miss Gray Rabbit." The host's voice brought Ooka Hongye back from her thoughts.
"I'll bet 25 chips on each of the four numbers." After that, Mingyue distributed the 100 chips evenly to each number.
Ooka Hongye's heart almost rose to her throat. As expected, Xiaoyue also wanted to win.
"Will the ball appear at 1?" Ooka Hongye's voice trembled a little, and she stared into Mingyue's eyes.
Mingyue replied calmly: "No."
"Will that appear on the number 2?"
"will not."
"Number 3?"
Mingyue still answered "No", but Ooka Hongye saw Mingyue blink twice quickly.
Little...Little Moon lied...
Ooka Momiji continued to ask nervously, "Will it be number 4?"
"No." Mingyue still denied, but this time she didn't blink.
Ooka Hongye could clearly hear her own heartbeat. She stared at the number engraved on the table and thought seriously: Should I bet all my chips on the number 3? Would that be too risky? Or should I bet on two numbers? After all, even if I bet on two numbers, as long as I guessed correctly, I would get more chips than I bet.
"I bet 2 chips on numbers 3 and 50."
Mingyue pouted slightly and looked at Ooka Hongye who was placing the chips, her eyes full of inquiry.
The man with the red fox mask naturally noticed Mingyue's blinking just now. At this moment, he was very nervous and stared at the roulette wheel anxiously. He saw the white ball rolling out from the gap under the cylinder and stopped in the number 3 area.
Ooka Hongye let out a breath. She was not happy because she guessed it right. Instead, she looked at Mingyue worriedly.
The host Shi Shen began to divide the chips on the table, first returning the 50 chips that Miss Pink Rabbit bet on to Miss Pink Rabbit, and then giving Miss Pink Rabbit 125 of the 83 chips that failed to bet on. Miss Gray Rabbit received 25 chips in addition to the 42 chips that she bet on.
End of the second game.
At this time, Ooka Hongye had 133 chips, while Mingyue only had 67 chips left.
In this kind of game, whoever gets the chips first will have control over the game.
The red fox masked man, whose heart was originally hanging high, finally found a bit of peace of mind. He took a deep breath, and his chest gradually became stable as he breathed in and out. He thought: The next round will probably decide the winner.
Scotland looked at the pile of chips in front of Mingyue, which was only half the amount of the chips on the other side, and felt a tightness in his chest.
Bourbon felt as if his heart was tightly entangled by countless thin ropes, which were getting tighter and tighter, and each rope was painful. Fear and anxiety surged in his heart like a tide, just like the endless sea outside the window.
Lei narrowed his dark green wolf eyes. He saw the dealers in the distance and found that they had already begun to clear the mountain of chips. He thought: Could it be that they don’t care about the outcome of the game here at all, or is the outcome of this game already predetermined?
"For the third round, Miss Pink Rabbit will be the banker." The host handed the ball to Ooka Momiji and said, "Please put the ball into the hole you like."
Ooka Hongye pinched the small ball and turned to look at the man in the red fox mask behind her.
The man in the red fox mask nodded slightly.
Ooka Hongye pursed her lips, threw the ball into the entrance they had agreed on before, took a deep breath, and looked at Mingyue across the table.
"Please place your bet first, Miss Pink Rabbit."
Ooka Hongye looked at the chips at hand, then looked at the chips next to Mingyue, and finally his eyes fell on the table, but he did not place a bet.
She hesitated.
If she follows Miss Tabby Cat's method from before, she only needs to bet 67 chips on the wrong numbers, and Little Moon will also bet wrong, then the loser's revival match will be over, but will Little Moon, who has lost all her chips... die?
"Ahem." The man in the red fox mask cleared his throat and reminded, "Miss, it's your turn to place your bet."
"I..." Ooka Hongye lowered her eyes and looked at the table.
Mingyue exhaled a breath of foul air and said unhappily, "Does the banker need to hesitate for so long before placing a bet?"
Ooka Hongye raised her head slightly and saw the old butler Mononobe wearing a Dalmatian mask in the crowd. "I... I bet 35 chips on 1, and 2 chips on 35. I... I've made my bets..."
"Now please place your bet, Miss Gray Rabbit." Shi Shen looked at Gray Rabbit and reminded her calmly, "Since Miss Pink Rabbit has bet 70 chips, you must bet all 67 chips."
Mingyue pushed all the chips onto the square with number 3.
The gamblers watching the game broke out into heated discussions.
"Gray Rabbit is stupid. She didn't bet on the dealer's bet, but on other numbers instead."
"You are the one who is stupid. Have you forgotten how the tabby cat won the rehearsal match?"
"Oh!" Someone suddenly realized.
However, some people disagreed, saying, "It's too risky to bet on just one number. At least you can bet on different numbers to increase your chances of winning."
"Yeah yeah."
Scotland saw the noise around him, so he whispered to Mingyue, "It's too dangerous to bet on only one number."
"It doesn't matter. Wouldn't it be better to decide the outcome as soon as possible?" Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye who was lowering her head opposite her.
The man with the red fox mask had his temples throbbing. Judging from Ooka Momiji's performance, Gray Rabbit should have guessed right again. But how could she be so sure that the ball would appear on the number 3?
"Miss Gray Rabbit wins the third game, and all the chips on the field belong to Miss Gray Rabbit." Shi Shen pushed the chips in front of Gray Rabbit.
At this moment, the situation was suddenly reversed. Mingyue had 137 chips, while Ooka Hongye only had 63 chips left.
Ooka Hongye felt a little unwilling. Little Moon had seen through my lie again. I also wanted to guess the number chosen by Little Moon in this round.
Bourbon stared at the roulette wheel for a long time, frowning. He didn't believe Mingyue had guessed it right. From Mingyue's performance just now, it seemed that Mingyue knew that the ball would appear on the number 3, but how did she know that? Bourbon looked at Mingyue's long gray hair, his expression gloomy.
After Mingyue put the ball into the cylinder, she played with the chips in her hand and said, "I'll bet 15 chips on each number."
"That's 60 chips, and I still have 3 chips left." Ooka Hongye counted the chips in his hand and thought: If I bet wrong, and only have 3 chips left, can I still turn the tables? No, I must bet right this time.
Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye and asked softly, "Do you believe me?"
Ooka Hongye was startled, looked at Mingyue who was sitting across the table, pursed her slightly pale lips, and asked, "The ball will appear at number 1?"
"Yes." Mingyue nodded slightly, "If you believe me, choose 1."
The sudden change caused the gamblers watching to whisper to each other.
"How can the gray rabbit tell the opponent where the ball is?"
"You're stupid, Gray Rabbit must have lied."
"Oh! Trick Pink Rabbit into choosing 1. The ball is definitely not at 1."
The palms of the man wearing the red fox mask were sweating and his heartbeat was accelerating. At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. His breathing became uncontrollably rapid and his muscles were tense.
Ooka Hongye opened her mouth, not knowing whether to continue asking.
"What? You don't believe me?" Mingyue saw what Ooka Hongye was thinking at a glance.
"I always think of you as a friend, but you..." Ooka Hongye bit her lip and swallowed the unfinished words. She lowered her eyes slightly, not looking at Mingyue, "Will the ball really fall into the area with number 1?"
"Of course. Don't you believe me?"
"I……"
"Miss!" The man in the red fox mask suddenly spoke.
Ooka Momiji quickly withdrew the hand that had been pushing the chips.
The red fox masked man whispered a reminder, "Please consider the current situation and don't make a choice blindly."
Mingyue's mouth sank, and she looked at Shi Shen and said unhappily, "Host, this is a game between me and Pink Rabbit."
"Mr. Red Fox, please don't interfere with the game too much." Shi Shen looked at the red fox masked man, his tone as calm as the sea before a storm.
The man with the red fox mask clenched his teeth, but his eyes were always on Ooka Momiji.
"I believe you, but I never thought we would be like this..." Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue, her eyes were red, just like the snow-white rabbit, "Can you tell me why you did this?"
Mingyue turned her head away, not looking at the red leaves on Ooka, and mumbled, "No reason."
"All 60 chips are placed on 1." Ooka Hongye's eyes fell on Mingyue's profile, "I believe you, we are friends."
Mingyue didn't speak.
The host pressed down the lid of the cylinder, and the ball rolled out from the gap under the cylinder...
