Play Speak
The host pressed the lid of the cylinder, and the ball rolled out from the gap under the cylinder and stopped in the area with number 1.
Ooka Hongye's pupils dilated slightly, and she was very happy in her heart. The little moon did not deceive me.
The man in the red fox mask was shocked. A second ago, he thought the game would end after Ooka Hongye bet on the number 1. However, he never expected that Huitu did not deceive Ooka Hongye at all. But why did Huitu give up the victory that was within her grasp? She could win the game with just one lie or without saying anything. Is she planning something?
Lei looked at Mingyue with a probing gaze and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
The brows under the Bourbon mask were twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". He couldn't guess or figure it out.
Scotland only felt that there was an invisible giant web that trapped everyone here. At this moment, he was like a butterfly with its wings stuck in a spider web. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape, and the spider, as a predator, was hiding somewhere unknown.
The host Shi Shen began to distribute the 45 chips that the gray rabbit had bet on incorrectly, returning 9 of them to the gray rabbit, while the pink rabbit got 36 chips.
The fourth game ends.
At this time, Mingyue had 101 chips and Ooka Hongye had 99 chips. The chips of both sides were almost the same, and they seemed to be back to the same starting line.
The gambler who bet on the pink rabbit's death gritted his teeth, glared at the gray rabbit, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "This game is like a roller coaster. One moment you think you're about to win, and the next moment the situation is reversed."
Another gambler echoed: "Who said it wasn't true? I almost won the bet. What the hell is going on?"
"Why do you think Gray Rabbit would give up such an advantage?"
The gambler who bet on the pink rabbit snorted coldly, "Who knows!"
"I think her lying skills were too clumsy and she was discovered." The gambler took a sip of his wine. "I would have bet on Gray Rabbit earlier. If you can't lie in this game, you won't survive for long."
There was endless discussion all around. Ooka Hongye took a few deep breaths, and his expression relaxed a little. He didn't seem as nervous as at the beginning.
"In the fifth game, Pink Rabbit is the banker." There was no emotion in Shi Shen's voice.
A small white ivory ball appeared at the fingertips of Ooka Hongye and quickly disappeared at the top of the cylinder.
The three bottles of whiskey watched without blinking, but they could not see which entrance the ball was thrown into, nor did they hear any sound.
"Please place your bets, Miss Pink Rabbit."
"I..." Ooka Hongye's fingertips touched the cold chips, and she suddenly looked up at Mingyue, and a rabbit mask similar to hers came into view.
She and I are both girls, with similar experiences and wearing similar masks. We can be friends, but why should we be rivals? Ooka Hongye looked away, lowered her eyes slightly, and began to think about how to bet on this game.
The little moon will blink when it lies, but not when it tells the truth. As long as I ask the number, I can know where the ball will appear. But how does the little moon know which entrance I put the ball into?
So before I figured out the reason, I had a high chance of losing chips when I was the banker. In other words, it was not a good strategy to bet heavily here.
And I was about to lose the last round, but Xiaoyue told me the correct answer. Does this mean that Xiaoyue didn't want to end the game so quickly? Does she have any plans? Should I also try to extend the game time?
Ooka Hongye thought he had guessed what Mingyue was thinking. After thinking it over, he placed a chip on each number and said to the host, "I've made my bet."
The man in the red fox mask took a deep breath and opened his mouth to warn her, but he closed his mouth when he felt the host's oppressive gaze. He was worried that his actions would cause something bad and might be detrimental to Ooka Momiji, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Please place your bet, Miss Gray Rabbit." Shi Shen withdrew his gaze from the man with the red fox mask.
Mingyue looked at the chips on the table, then raised her eyes to Ooka Hongye, "Why did you bet so little this time? Are you afraid that I will win? Mr. Honghu should have told you that being the banker is the best time to get chips, and it is the key to winning."
"He...he did say..."
"Then why do you only bet so little?" Mingyue pointed at the chips on the table, "Do you want to lose to me? The person who loses the game will die."
The man in the red fox mask clenched his back teeth, and his muscles were tense.
"Hehehe, I'm really looking forward to seeing her struggling in pain when she dies. That expression must be very exciting." The short man let out a terrifying laugh.
Brown bear Jeffrey Dahmer stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips. "I'm a little hungry."
Ooka Hongye intertwined the fingers of her hands, "I... I just want to keep my current chips and don't want to lose too much."
"is it?"
"Why do you always guess right when I'm the banker?"
Mingyue counted 4 chips and placed them on number 4, then calmly replied, "Maybe it's because I'm lucky."
Ooka Hongye lowered her eyes and looked at the four chips. "Little Moon, why do you always place single bets?"
"The moon?" Bearded Lily, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned to look at the girl wearing a gray mask, muttering to herself, "Gray-haired moon...moon..."
The big-backed baboon bowed and asked, "Sir, have you found anything?"
However, Bearded Lily did not answer the baboon's question, but just stared at the gray rabbit without blinking, as if thinking about something.
Mingyue didn't say anything. The host Shi Shen lowered his eyes and looked at the chips on the table, and it seemed that he was not ready to open the market.
"The banker bets on four numbers, and the player bets on two numbers with the same amount of chips. If the player bets correctly, the chips he gets are four-thirds of the chips he bets, but since the probability of betting correctly is one-half, the expected value is two-thirds. When placing a single bet, the player can get eight-fifths of the chips he bets, but the probability is only one-fourth, and the expected value is only two-fifths."
After Ooka Hongye finished speaking, she looked at Mingyue. Seeing that Mingyue did not react, she felt a little uneasy. She bit her lower lip and continued, "Based on the expected value, placing a single bet will do more harm than good."
Mingyue chuckled, "Are you trying to convince me to bet on two numbers? Or did I win again this time?"
The man in the red fox mask looked at the roulette wheel nervously. He knew very well that once the ball was put into the cylinder, no one except the dealer would know which number the ball would appear on.
"You've placed single bets twice in a row..." Ooka Hongye looked at the chips on the table, "No, if you include this time, you've placed single bets three times in a row. In other words, you can accurately grasp the position of the ball."
Mingyue propped her chin with her hand. "Expected value or probability, these are what Mr. Red Fox beside you told you. Which betting method has good or bad returns, many people don't have a concept of such things, just like the gambling game over there that is betting on our lives."
Ooka Hongye swallowed and said, "Did you see which entrance I put the ball into?"
Mingyue shook her head slightly, "No."
"You cheated?" The man in the red fox mask stared at the gray rabbit.
"Oh?" Mingyue raised her lips playfully and looked at the man in the red fox mask. "Do you have evidence? I have been in full view of everyone. Apart from putting the ball into the cylinder and placing bets, I have not done anything extra. How can you say I cheated?"
The host Shi Shen narrowed his eyes slightly. With his many years of experience in hosting gambling games, he did not find out what method Gray Rabbit used to cheat. Moreover, before the official game, the roulette wheel was disassembled by the young master Qijian Daqi, and a layer of silent cotton was laid on the bottom of the wheel. In the presence of many colleagues, he confirmed that there was no sound before taking it over. There could be no problem. So how did she know which number the ball appeared on?
Bourbon stared at Mingyue's gray hair. He knew very well that it was impossible for those black balls to be brought on board the ship. And even if there were black balls, how would Mingyue, who didn't have a mobile phone, know the information?
"Ms. Gray Rabbit, do you want to continue betting?" Shi Shen's voice was calm, as if cheating or not had nothing to do with him.
"Let's open the market." Mingyue leaned lazily on the back of her chair.
The white ivory ball rolled to the area marked with number 1 and stopped.
"Both ladies have placed their bets correctly. Miss Gray Rabbit gets 2 chips and Miss Pink Rabbit gets 1 chip." After distributing the chips on the gambling table, Shi Shen placed the ivory ball in his palm and handed it to Gray Rabbit. "For the sixth round, Miss Gray Rabbit will be the banker."
Mingyue's finger gently touched the cylinder in the center of the roulette wheel, and then closed the lid.
"Bet 50 on 2, and 3 each on 4 and 25. Then it's your turn." Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye across the table, "Let this round decide our life or death."
Ooka Hongye's body trembled slightly, "Xiaoyue used 100 chips, I can only use the 97 chips I have now."
"Yes, that's right." Mingyue held her chin with both hands and looked at Ooka Hongye. She felt that she was like a frightened little white rabbit at this moment, who wanted to escape but had no way to escape. She couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.
The palms of the man in the red fox mask were covered with sticky sweat. He looked at the three unbetted chips in front of the gray rabbit and guessed that the ball would appear on number 3, the number that the dealer had not bet on.
Bourbon stared at the three piles of chips on the table. He was very sure that Mingyue would not let the ball appear in the area of number 1, and the number 2 with the most chips bet on was also impossible. The most likely numbers were 3 and 4.
"Which number will the ball be on?" Ooka Hongye looked at Mingyue.
Mingyue smiled and said, "Sorry, I don't want to tell you the answer this time."
However, Ooka Hongye did not give up and continued to ask, "Is it 1?"
"No."
"2?"
"No."
"That's 3?"
Mingyue blinked and replied with a smile: "No."
Ooka Hongye's fingertips holding the chips trembled, "Is that 4?"
"No." Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye and said calmly, "The game should end now."
The host's serious voice sounded, still without a trace of emotion, "Please place your bet, Miss Pink Rabbit."
The gamblers watching were talking a lot, and no one noticed that the two piles of chips betting on Miss Rabbit had disappeared in the distance.
Bearded Lily, wearing a monkey mask, kept her eyes on the gray rabbit, trying to get some clues.
"Hey, if it were you, which number would you bet on?"
"It must be 1. That's even worth thinking about."
"It's not safe to bet on one number. I'd bet on 1 and 4."
"Why not bet on 2? The dealer bets on 2 the most."
"Are you dumb?"
“押2?2才是陷阱,依我看1也不一定正确,大概率是3和4。”
The gamblers argued endlessly.
At this moment, Ooka Hongye was very confused. She clearly saw Mingyue blinking when answering the question about the number 3, so this time the ball would definitely fall on the number 3, but she remembered the warning given by the man in the red fox mask before.
People don't blink when they lie.
But Little Moon can blink. She blinked in the second round, and I guessed it right. In the fourth round, she told the truth and didn’t blink, but she told me it was number 1, and I also guessed it right.
If I don't win this round, will I die? Will I be thrown into the sea to feed the fish? Or will I be torn to pieces like a black goat...
Ooka Hongye moved the chips on the table with trembling hands, "I... I bet 49 on 3, and 48 on 4..."
"No!" said the man in the red fox mask in a low voice, but he sensed a murderous gaze.
"Mr. Red Fox, please don't interfere with the game."
Mingyue played with the chips in her hand, "Once you buy, you won't regret it. Mr. Red Fox, you should know these rules."
Ooka Hongye turned to look at the man with the red fox mask beside him, only to see his clenched fists trembling slightly, "I... I believe in Little Moon."
Mingyue chuckled, but her eyes moved to the window.
It was late at night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, casting its white moonlight on the black sea.
In the cabin, the gamblers' eyes were all on the motionless roulette wheel, looking forward to the outcome of this round.
Scotland's eyes were fixed on the number 50 that Mingyue had bet 2 chips on, and he felt mixed emotions.
"opening!"
"hurry up!"
The gamblers shouted.
As the host pressed his finger, the ball slowly rolled out and fell into the area of number 2.
"Miss Gray Rabbit won the bet and received all the chips, becoming the winner of this round of loser resurrection match." Shi Shen looked at Pink Rabbit and announced calmly, "Miss Pink Rabbit is eliminated, and her fate will be controlled by Miss Gray Rabbit."
The gamblers who bet on the pink rabbit cheered and shouted.
"Kill her!"
"Break her legs and make her cry!"
"No, dig out her eyes first!"
"Strip her clothes off!"
The pale-faced old butler Mononobe, ignoring his own injuries, squeezed out of the crowd and stumbled to Ooka Momiji, "Don't be afraid, young lady."
The man in the red fox mask looked around vigilantly, his fingers tightly clasped around the special deck of playing cards.
Shi Shen's voice remained calm, "Now please make a decision, Miss Gray Rabbit."
"Little Moon..." Ooka Hongye hid behind the man wearing the red fox mask in fear, but turned her head to look at Mingyue.
The two bunny ladies looked at each other...
