Volume 14 Chapter 39 A Game That Cannot Be Fouled
In fact, there are almost three thousand people on Dead Water Island, and of course it is impossible for every one of them to be a fool. The Bone Night Festival ghost card game has lasted for so long, and many people already know that this is essentially a supernatural game. The so-called dealer is not a human being at all. It's just that for the younger generation, they are all of a unified voice. In any case, for a long time, no one has ever really had an accident because of the ghost card game, which proves that although the ghost card game is weird, everyone is still at ease.
But...... After all, there are still many people who have a strong sense of jealousy about this weird ghost card game.
This time, Zhuo Nanyue explained that her parents also changed their faces.
"Nanyue, it's going to be fine!" In the end, Zhuo's father still cleared his throat: "So ......"
"I ...... Is it okay if I don't draw cards? Father? ”
Drawing cards is time-limited. Once five minutes later, Zhuo Nanyue does not draw cards, what will happen, no one knows. However, this is a violation of the rules of the Lunaris God. The islanders of Deadwater Island, young and old, are all believers in the Moonshadow. Although there is no well-established religious system and no complex doctrine, there is no doubt that Lunaris is an irreplaceable religious belief for the islanders.
"Nanyue, don't be kidding!" Father Zhuo suddenly looked angry: "Could it be that the priest said, can we not draw cards?" ”
"No...... However, the priest told me a word. That's ...... In any case, no matter what, don't draw a ghost card! ”
Zhuo Nanyue's words are loud! Inside, there was a dead silence.
"Nanyue ......" the second brother of the Zhuo family. Zhuo Nancheng's voice trembled and said, "The priest is really ...... So what do you say? ”
Priest. It sits in the Temple of Lunaris all year round. Ordinary people don't see him. However, if you are willing to pray sincerely in the main hall dedicated to the Lunaris God, if you are sincere, the priest may make an exception to receive you.
Zhuo Nanyue definitely didn't have the courage to lie to the priest!
Did the priest himself say that?
Absolute...... Don't draw ghost cards?
The "absolute" emphasized by the priest does make people feel a strong sense of unease.
"Maybe ......" Zhuo Nanyue said her speculation: "If you say that you draw a ghost card, then I'm afraid nothing will happen at that time, but as time goes by." Maybe bad luck will come slowly! ”
None of the six members of the Zhuo family are qi cultivators, they are just unarmed mortals.
"It's okay...... at this time, Zhuo's father hurriedly said: "A deck of playing cards, but there are only two ghost cards...... ...... doesn't have that much chance of being drawn."
"There are six people in our family, and if someone in the family gets married in the future, the population will increase one after another, and the Bone Night Festival will be held every year, and when the time comes, it will ...... Sooner or later, maybe we'll draw a ghost card! ”
The Bone Night Festival is year after year and goes on forever! A deck of 54 playing cards. There are 2 ghost cards, and the probability of winning is only 3.7%. However, as the number of people in the family increases, this probability will also increase, and the Bone Night Festival will be smoked three or four times a year...... After a long time, can they guarantee that one day, they will not draw the ghost card? Among the four siblings, only Zhuo Nanyue is the daughter, the three elder brothers will get married in the future, and the wives will all live at home, and it is not so easy for their family to build another house. As for the Bone Night Festival moving to someone else's house temporarily? How many people are willing? Because of this, the probability of winning a ghost card will increase, and if it is a ghost card drawn, the "dealer" will enter the house!
This supernatural game, over the past countless years, must have been drawn by many people. And what unknown doom will those who draw the ghost card face? Nobody knows! And the unknown is the most terrifying!
"I don't draw cards!" Zhuo Nanyue finally gritted her teeth and said her decision: "I don't smoke!" In the future, even if I marry into someone else's family, I will continue this card drawing game, and then I don't know when I will draw ghost cards...... Maybe it's me, maybe it's my child...... No! What if you don't draw cards? I definitely don't want to draw cards! ”
"Don't be willful, Nanyue!" The third brother Zhuo Nanhe immediately objected: "You haven't married yet, have you?" Have you ever asked the priest if you could not draw cards? ”
"Why do we have to blindly follow the Moonshadow?" Nanyue still shook her head: "I don't want to smoke, even if I really have to encounter some bad luck, it is better to face it now than to wait for the uncertainty of the future!" I don't want it, I definitely don't want it! ”
Five minutes, and soon it will pass. The rest of the family has already drawn cards. However...... Nanyue didn't smoke it for a long time!
"Nanyue, don't be like this, haven't we never drawn ghost cards before?"
"Daddy...... In the past few years, we have scattered our family members and let us live with relatives such as my uncle and uncle, but over the years, new people have been added to their families, so this year all six of us can only stay at home! We...... We ......"
"Pump me!"
Looking at the clock on the wall, the hands were about to cross the five-minute time limit, Zhuo's father grabbed Zhuo Nanyue's hand fiercely, and pressed the playing cards that had been stuffed under the door!
"Pump! Pump me! ”
Zhuo's father was already hysterical.
Truly...... For the first time in so many years, a family of six gathered together to draw cards. If you draw three times on the night of a bone night, six people have to draw cards eighteen times in total, and they have to draw every year...... In the long run, drawing a ghost card is almost inevitable!
But...... So what? Drawing a ghost card doesn't mean you're going to die! If you don't smoke it, it's going against the Moon Shadow God! If you anger the Moon Shadow God, the consequences will be absolutely unimaginable! He would never have hoped that the Zhuo family would be punished by heaven for angering Moon Shadow! This is, after all, the collective belief of the people of the entire Dead Water Island! You must know that the Moon Shadow God has appeared more than once in history, and relying on the prophecies transmitted by the Qi Cultivators, he has never failed once!
"No...... I don't want to draw, I'm going to bet, even if I don't draw, I'm ......"
Eventually, Zhuo's father forcibly let his daughter's hand touch the playing cards. But if my daughter's fingers don't cooperate, she can't draw playing cards. The cards must be drawn by himself, and Zhuo's father can't even manipulate Zhuo Nanyue's fingers, right?
"Smoke it for me! Zhuo Nanyue! ”
Eventually, the family went up together, grabbed the five fingers of her right hand, and finally forcibly pulled out a playing card!
But...... It was at this time......
Time, has passed.
The card that was drawn is invalid.
Even if it's not a ghost card, it doesn't make sense.
For a while, everyone's faces were like ashes.
Zhuo Nanhe, the third brother of the Zhuo family, turned over the playing card, it was not a ghost card at all!
"Wouldn't you have smoked it earlier? What do we do now? ”
"If you don't draw cards within the allotted time, you will ...... What will happen? ”
Father Zhuo gritted his teeth and immediately rushed into the room, kneeling in front of the Moon Shadow Statue, kowtowing desperately!
"The Lunaris God is above! Xinnan Zhuo Qingfeng, please calm your anger! The little girl is not sensible, it's all my fault! Please don't send down heavenly punishments, I will definitely offer double the offerings in the future, even if our family doesn't have anything to eat, I will offer it all to the Lunaris God! ”
Outside the door, the people of the Zhuo family looked at the door with pale faces.
Subsequently......
Something weird happened......
The cards that were drawn, as if they were alive, automatically moved into the stack of cards! Then, it was pulled back from under the crack in the door!
Everyone's mouths opened wide in horror!
That playing cards...... Actually...... Actually...... Will it move?
At this moment, they were already completely sure that the person outside the door was definitely not from the Island Office!
"I ...... What will happen to us? ”
"Mom, you can say something!"
"Little sister, we are all going to be killed by you!"
At this moment, everyone is blaming Zhuo Nanyue. And Zhuo Nanyue was staring at the door in front of her.
Don't draw ghost cards...... What will happen?
Will something happen?
Whereas...... Followed by...... Something terrible happened!
Everyone found that the doorknob in front of them was actually ...... It spins up automatically!
"No...... No...... No! ”
"Quick...... Find something to hold back the door! ”
"Windows...... Kid Dad, put all the windows on the first floor with something! ”
Everyone has not forgotten that the ghost card game is a supernatural game! The so-called "dealer" is not a human being!
Now, they are completely convinced!
But at this moment, the deadtongue on the door, which had been locked, made a "click" sound......
Subsequently, in front of the eyes of the Zhuo family, the gate ...... It was slowly opened! (To be continued......)
