"She's Miss Lion."

The red fox masked man's heart was beating wildly and his breathing became heavy.

"How could this be?" Scotland looked incredulous. What had he deduced wrong? 9 wins should be the biggest.

Lei's face was tense, and he glanced at the mafia members, feeling more and more uneasy.

"What should we do?" Ooka Hongye hugged Mingyue's arm tightly, trembling all over, "Will we be dragged into the loser's revival match..."

Mingyue looked indifferently at the blonde Maffia Karen and did not answer Ooka Momiji.

Bourbon's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He thought of one thing. If there was a single winner in the odd-numbered team, then the participants with the remaining cards would most likely not enter the loser's revival match. If there were no participants with 1 win, those with 2 wins would be in danger.

"I disagree with the outcome of the game." The man in the red fox mask looked at the host Shi Shen.

"Excuse me, Mr. Red Fox, do you have any questions?"

The red fox masked man took a deep breath and asked, "Besides winning, are there other ways to get points?"

The host Shi Shen shook his head slightly, "No, you can only score points by winning."

"Each person only has nine cards?" The man in the red fox mask clenched his back teeth.

"We gave all participants an envelope containing nine cards with three of each number on them, 1, 2, and 3."

"Logically, the highest score for this game should be 9 points." The man in the red fox mask looked at Mafia Karen, "I want to know how many points Miss Lion got."

Shi Shen calmly uttered a number: "18."

"Impossible!" The man in the red fox mask could clearly feel his heart beating rapidly, as if it was about to burst through his chest. How could someone get twice the number of points as the number of cards? How did they do it?

Bourbon frowned. Everyone had the same cards. How did she achieve 9 wins, more than 18 wins?

"Oh, if you can't do it, then don't question others' inability." There was a hint of ambiguous ridicule on the face of the tabby cat girl, and her eyes fell on the rabbit ladies who were cuddling each other.

Ooka Hongye felt the unfriendly gaze and shrank behind Mingyue in fear.

Mingyue and the tabby cat girl looked at each other, their expressions calm as usual.

The last rays of dusk fell on the three bottles of whiskey, making them look particularly cold. Their breathing became rapid and heavy, and the air seemed to become very sticky. They clenched their fists, and their knuckles turned white due to the force.

The pure white gauze has been stained red with blood, just like the setting sun gradually fading above the sea level.

The tabby cat girl chuckled, "Come to think of it, I can think of this idea thanks to Mr. Siamese Cat. If it weren't for your reminder, I wouldn't have thought of it." After saying that, the tabby cat laughed even more brightly.

But Bourbon was even more confused, "What did I remind you of?"

Persephone, sitting in a wheelchair, glanced at the Siamese cat and seemed to have thought of the key.

"You haven't played any cards yet, but you say you have none left. If that doesn't mean you've transferred the cards to someone else, then what is that?" The tabby cat girl smiled at the Siamese cat. "The rules of the game don't say you can't transfer cards, and the host didn't stop or warn us, so it's in line with the rules for us to redistribute the cards in our hands."

Bourbon didn't expect that a casual remark he made would become the key to their victory. He clenched his fists a little tighter in annoyance. The sharp pain from his palms made his mind clearer, but blood dripped through his fingers onto the dark gray ground, just like the setting sun falling into the dark sea.

Jeffrey Dahmer, the brown bear who hadn't figured out the twists and turns, looked at the Siamese cat with displeasure, "Boy, did you lie to me?"

The tabby cat girl was afraid that she would be targeted by the brown bear again, so she quickly hid behind the elk housekeeper, not daring to make any sound.

"Mr. Brown Bear, I really didn't have any cards on me at that time. Just as Miss Tabby Cat inferred, I gave the cards to someone else, and then took them back from someone else." Bourbon showed no fear at all. He just stood there quietly, with his hands hanging naturally at both sides. The expression on his face was as calm as water, and he looked at Brown Bear calmly.

Brown bear Jeffrey Dahmer's eyes were full of confusion. He opened his mouth, as if he had many questions to ask, but he didn't know where to start. He was not good at thinking and could only utter a threatening word, "Boy, don't let me know that you are plotting against me, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."

"It looks like they are in big trouble." The scalper girl raised her lips.

Lily, a bearded man wearing a monkey mask, stared at the brown bear for a long time and murmured in a sweet female voice, "So this is possible. If he were still alive, he might have thought of this method a long time ago. After all, he is best at doing these things..."

"Sir... I... I'm sorry..." The baboon man with a slicked-back hair bowed deeply to Lily.

"No need to apologize, this is not what you are good at." Bearded Lily lowered her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

The crowd watching was chatting in low voices.

"How did the Lions get 18 wins?"

"You ask me, how would I know? If you have the guts, just ask the tabby cat."

The man in the red fox mask lowered his head, his eyes full of loss and unwillingness. He had suffered a major setback in the field of cards, which he was best at.

"This is not your fault." Mingyue looked at the man in the red fox mask.

"You don't have to comfort me. It's my fault that I failed to protect you."

Ooka Hongye looked nervous. She hadn't gotten over the death of the rabbit yet, but she was already in the abyss of being dragged into the loser's revival match. "Xiaoyue, what should we do?"

Mingyue did not respond, nor did she make any move to comfort Ooka Hongye. She just raised her eyes to look at the host Shi Shen in the center of the venue, as if waiting for something to happen.

"There are five people on their team, with a total of 45 cards. There will be an extra card that cannot be removed." Scotland calculated silently in his heart, "The maximum points they can get is 22. If Mafia Karen alone gets 18 points, then there will only be four points for the other four people."

"You mean the remaining four people only have 1 point each." Lei's eyes darkened slightly, "So even if Mafia Karen gave the spot to the person with the remaining card, the participants with 1 point will still enter the loser's revival match."

Scotland thought for a moment, "Maybe someone gets 2 points, and the person with the remaining cards can save two people without scoring any points."

Bourbon denied Scotland's conclusion. "There are four people left. Two of them have 2 points. One has a remaining card. The other one is willing to enter the loser's revival match. As long as they do this, they will truly control the elimination right of the game."

The red fox masked man nodded slightly, "Yeah, I think that's how they arranged it."

Mingyue chuckled. "Then someone will get 0 points. As long as everyone else gets a point, for example 1 point, we can avoid entering the loser's revival match. In this case, can the highest score be directly increased to 20 points? After all, we can get 27 points."

“Yes, we have more people, so we can get 27 points. If one person gets 22 points, the rest only need 1 point…” The man in the red fox mask trembled slightly with his clenched fists.

Mingyue raised her lips in an imperceptible arc, "No, the safest way is for one person to get 23 points, and one of the remaining people to get 0 points."

"Xiaoyue, why didn't you tell us earlier? Then we would have won." Ooka Hongye's eyes were red. "What should we do now?"

Facing Ooka Hongye's accusation, Mingyue slowly lowered her eyes and looked at the bloodstains on the ground.

"I guess Gray Rabbit just thought of it." The man in the red fox mask laughed at himself, "What I care most about now is who will enter the loser's revival match."

Three bottles of whiskey focused their attention on several mafia members, trying to find clues.

The host Shi Shen looked at Mafia Karen and said, "Miss Lion, please choose the participant who will be exempted from the loser's revival match with you."

The tabby cat girl looked uneasy and swallowed several times. Her heart was pounding and a layer of sticky sweat appeared on the palms of her hands.

However, Mafia Karen didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and tilted his head to think.

Bourbon's clenched fist loosened slightly, blood dripping from his fingertips. He looked at Mafia Karen, "Ms. Lion, before you make a decision, can we sit down and talk?"

"Ms. Lion, we have nothing to talk about with Siamese cats." The tabby cat girl seemed anxious, and it seemed that she was the participant with the remaining cards.

"As far as I know, the information in Miss Tabby Cat's hands is both true and false. If Miss Lion needs intelligence, I can give you the best price." Bourbon smiled kindly.

Maffia Karen's hollow eyes were fixed on the gray rabbit next to the Siamese cat. "Really? Then I have to think about it carefully."

"No, miss, you always keep your promises. Before this, you promised me that you would choose me." The tabby cat girl was very nervous at this moment, because she only had 1 point. If this underworld princess really chose the participant with remaining cards, she would have to enter the loser's revival match.

Bourbon thought there was something interesting going on and prepared to say something else.

At this time, Mafia Karen smiled and asked, "Mr. Siamese Cat, I can hear your sincerity, but you also know that I can only choose one person. Who do you want me to choose?"

The fox masked man's heart was instantly lifted. He also wanted to make a deal with Mafia Karen and let the other party choose Miss Ooka. However, if he did that, there would be competition in their small team, and he alone could not protect Ooka Hongye, so he could not propose it.

Bourbon was also feeling overwhelmed at this time. He originally thought that Mafia Karen would directly choose Mingyue. After all, she had no contact with Ooka Momiji. He just didn't expect that the other party would throw this difficult problem to him.

He looked at the two girls beside him. Although he was not sure whether they would be involved in the loser's revival match, if the girl from the Ooka family was unfortunately selected, the result would definitely be very bad.

If it was Mingyue, he might have a chance of winning. But if he told Maffia Karen that he chose Pink Rabbit, what would Mingyue think? Would his and Hiro's plan fail? What should he do?

At this time, other people also had the idea.

"Ms. Lion, if you choose me, I..."

"Shut up!" Maffia Karen interrupted the black horse Persephone coldly, "Mr. Siamese Cat, give me your answer."

Bourbon was in a difficult situation to decide.

"Please choose Little Moon." Ooka Hongye's voice trembled slightly. She took several deep breaths and seemed to have made a great decision. She looked up at Miss Lion in the distance and said, "Please choose the gray rabbit next to me."

Mingyue looked at Ooka Hongye beside her in a daze, "Oh, idiot."

"Hahahahahaha..." Mafia Karen seemed to have heard some joke and laughed uncontrollably.

Ooka Hongye seemed frightened and hugged Mingyue's arm tightly.

The man in the red fox mask clenched his teeth and didn't look at Ooka Hongye. He was thinking about whether he should make a deal with the participant who was about to enter the loser's revival match. As long as he didn't choose Hongye...

Mafia Karen smiled for a long time, "What a lovely child, host."

"I'm here."

"I've already decided who to choose."

"Please say."

"I choose the tabby cat."

"Ah!" The tabby cat girl jumped up excitedly, "I knew you would keep your promise!"

Bourbon's heart skipped a beat.

Shi Shen continued to host, "Participants who have remaining cards, please hand in your cards."

The man in the red fox mask looked at the people around him warily. He was worried that this was a conspiracy against the Ooka family. After all, the bag of poisoned candy was still in his pocket.

Bourbon looked around, observing everyone's movements, but unexpectedly, Mingyue, who was standing next to him, moved.

Mingyue reached into her pocket and took out the metal card. The cold card flashed a strange red light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Three Bottles of Whiskey stared at the metal card with wide eyes. His muscles stiffened instantly, his heart skipped a few beats, and the blood in his body almost froze.

Bourbon was the first to react and reached out to grab the card, but Mingyue dodged it.

Scotland's heartbeat almost stopped. How could Mingyue have any cards left?! Wasn't she under our surveillance from the beginning to the end? When and how did she get in touch with the mafia?

Could it be the time when Mingyue was taken away by the underworld princess? If that was the case, then Mingyue must know the rules of the game, but why did she do this? Scotland felt a chill rising from his back, and his limbs were almost frozen.

"Where did this card come from?" As soon as he asked, Lei figured out the key. He frowned and whispered, "The bathroom."

"Oh, it seems you are not stupid." The tabby cat girl smiled brightly.

"Why?" Ooka Hongye let go of Mingyue's arm, took a few steps back, and gradually approached the red fox masked man. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and crystal tears rolled out of her red eyes. "Little Moon, why is it you?"

Shi Shen's voice was steady and powerful. "Miss Gray Rabbit's points are reset to zero, and she is the only participant with 0 points on the field. Please choose a participant to enter the loser's revival match with you, Miss Gray Rabbit."
