Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 348 Air Chips
A quarter of an hour ago.

Fushimi Shika was thinking about a solution in the toilet cubicle. After thinking it over, he felt that this matter could not be concealed.

He held the dagger and pointed it at his calf, wondering whether he should use other scars to cover up the bullet hole... But then he changed his mind and decided to give up. What if he cut his tendons? Wouldn't he be disabled?

As he was thinking, Fushimi Shika suddenly realized that he seemed to have put the cart before the horse.

He came to the Aum Shinrikyo headquarters mainly to cure Nuecha's poison, and secondly to save Gen Tamako and others, and to clean up Aum Shinrikyo in the process.

Now that Aum Shinrikyo has been cleared out, Gen Tamako seems to be safe, but what about the Nue poison in his body?
He asked Shinta Matsusaka. Nue tea is a sacred tree here, and Aum Shinrikyo has never thought about how to "detoxify". After all, in the eyes of the cult, the sacred tree carries divine power and is not poisonous at all. Similarly, the research direction of foreign laboratories mainly focuses on prolonging life, and it is impossible for them to spend manpower and resources to study detoxification... Therefore, there is no antidote.

It can be said that Scorpion Baba is unique in that he has devoted himself to studying the detoxification method like Toshinori Fukuyama.

Fushimi Shika counted on his fingers and realized that he did not have much time left. He was already a dying man with one foot halfway into the earth. Why should he hesitate and be timid?
Thinking in this way, there is no need for him to care about what others think!

Fushimi Shika had a clear mind and decided to let himself go. He pushed open the door of the toilet cubicle and leisurely went to the first floor, wandered around the residences of the core members of the sect, found a well-decorated bathroom, and took a hot shower.

Afterwards, he used bullet primer to burn the wound to stop the bleeding completely, wrapped it with gauze, and put on pants so that no trace of the wound could be seen.

The premise is that you cannot walk fast.

The core members of the cult didn't have very good taste in clothes. Fushimi Shika rummaged through the closet, carefully selected, and finally chose an outfit that he was quite satisfied with. He didn't even wear a hood and went out openly.

Through the "hide and seek" trial, Fushimi Shika has realized that Aum Shinrikyo is not the actual ruling party of this island - if he wants to take Gen Tamako and others away from here, he still has to get rid of the guy who organized the trial.

Seeing that there was a hope of escape, Shinta Matsusaka put all his efforts into it. He fully exerted his subjective initiative and took the lead in going to the archive warehouse to look for construction drawings. After a round of investigation, he found the hidden central control room.

Fushimi Shika once again came alone and found the chief designer who was broadcasting live.

After a not-so-friendly exchange between the two sides, the chief designer successfully persuaded Fushimi Shika to initiate a gambling game by using the lives of Minamoto Tamako and others as bargaining chips.

During the negotiation, Fushimi Kazuo raised a question: Freedom is something that everyone has as a bargaining chip. It is obviously unreasonable for designers to take away other people's freedom and use it as a bargaining chip to force participants to win back their freedom.

Therefore, the chief designer proposed to "raise the stakes".

They don't gamble on points or tickets, they only gamble on their lives.

At the moment, Ye Xingqi was explaining the details of the gambling game incessantly.

First, to ensure the fairness of the bet, both parties searched each other and did not carry any communication tools or cheating props; second, the arbitrator would ensure that both parties received chips, so even if the chief designer lost, the second-ranked designer would take over her job and Cat Island could continue to operate; finally, the rules of the bet were set by a third party, and neither party knew the rules in advance.

Senmu Yalan questioned loudly, asking who this "third party" was. Maybe the chief designer knew the rules in advance and just pretended not to know.

Night Walker Seven was very patient and gave her an answer that left her speechless.

"The third party is your partner and the second-ranked designer. The two of them will jointly review and determine that the gambling rules are fair and have strong gaming value. Only then will the rules take effect."

In order to protect personal privacy, when Night Walker Seven reported that person's name, the small TV in the Temple of the Seven Sins was muted.

"Kazama Takusai... is that his name?"

Night Walker 7 took out a miniature headset and put on headphones. The arbitrator brought a table and sat beside it, acting like a host. "If you have no objection, the bet will be officially effective. Wait a moment and it will begin immediately... Even if you have any objections, it's useless. I'm just reading the script."

He blocked Yuan Yuzi's mouth in advance, and the latter put down her raised hand again.

The gambling will be broadcast live, and investors must feel that it is worth their money. This kind of super reality show that ignores the law has its own threshold for watching - the rich can be both viewers and participants, and the profits brought can be imagined.

In order to protect their privacy, both parties in the gambling game need to wear headgear, and the participants also need to wear masks. The two parties in the gambling game are called by code names, the chief designer's code name is "Kitsune-hime" and Fushimi Shika's code name is "Oni-kiri". The two wear fox headgear and evil ghost mask respectively.

Everything was ready. The arbitrator entered the square with the card and began to read out the rules of the game. He held the metal disc that had just been inserted in his hand and said loudly: "These are the chips for this game. Each chip contains 80 liters of compressed air. Each person holds 25 chips. They are your "lifeline"!"

"As you can see, this glass cabin will be filled with water, and the two participants will play a game in the water - the metal tanks are both bargaining chips and the oxygen that the participants breathe!"

"That is to say, when one party loses all the chips needed for breathing, he will drown in the water!"

The moment the words fell, the bases of Fushimi Shika and Kitsune's chairs vibrated and at the same time a crisp sound was heard. The mechanism popped out and metal shackles locked the feet of the two.

"That's right, this bet will not end until one of us drowns!"

Hearing this, Gen Yuzi's fingers trembled. She stood outside the elastic belt, staring at Fushimi Shika's profile - it was indeed him!
But how did Fushimi-kun get to the island?
When did he come?
It seems that Fushimi-kun is not injured, and he is not the dog-headed man... I guessed it right, Fushimi-kun really came to save them!
However, Fushimi-kun's situation seems to be very bad now. Gen Tamako has been a good child since she was young, and she often heard adults say "Nine out of ten gambling losses". Even if Fushimi-kun's IQ is higher than Einstein's, he will still lose if he is unlucky... After all, it is impossible for Einstein to win every time he flips a coin, right?
She was worried about Fushimi-kun in her heart.

On the other side, the arbitrator continued: "So, how do you determine whether a person has drowned?"

"When a normal person drowns, they will go through five stages: mental confusion, purple skin, muscle relaxation, final lucidity, and cardiac arrest."

"When a small amount of water enters the trachea, people will instinctively hold their breath, and then fall into mental panic and struggle constantly, even if there is only a straw in their hands, they will grab it tightly;"

"Continued cessation of breathing will cause the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood to continue to rise, which will cause the skin to turn purple and the body to spasm. This stage is the most painful;"

"After losing consciousness, the muscles will relax, the pupils will dilate, and the reflex function will disappear, turning into a floating corpse, but there is still a possibility of rescue and resurrection;"

"In the fourth stage, a person will suddenly wake up from a coma, like a dying beast taking a deep breath. If they do not inhale enough oxygen, their consciousness will fall into a coma again, thus entering the fifth stage, which is complete death."

"Since both parties are gambling underwater, it takes time to confirm cardiopulmonary arrest, and it is difficult to verify after four stages. The bet will be lost if the contestant shows the third stage phenomenon..."

"That is, relax your muscles, let your body float up naturally, and lift your buttocks off the chair for ten seconds!"

"After reading for tens of seconds, the drawer next to the winner's desk will pop out, and inside is the key to unlock the shackles. After unlocking it, you can float up to breathe!"

Having said that, the winning and losing mechanism of the gambling game has become clear.

Not only were the people in the square concerned, but the participants of the Temple of the Seven Sins were also drawn to its attention. The ratings of the broadcast soared after the rules were introduced.

The arbitrator continued to introduce: "Everyone, please look at the table!"

The camera slowly moved forward, Yuan Yuzi stood on tiptoe and looked into the glass cabin, only to see a stack of metal cards on the table.

"The cards are made of pure gold and will not float. There are 10 cards in total. After shuffling the cards, both parties will draw 5 cards each..."

“The rules are simple!”

"Participants use one card each time to compete, and they need to pay a box of chips as a base bet in each round. After both parties open their cards, they can raise the bet."

"Each person only has five cards, which means that you can gamble five times at most!"

"In addition, the ante increases in each round. The first round has one box of chips, the second round has two boxes of chips... and so on. The ante for the fifth round is five boxes of empty chips!"

At this point, the arbitrator put down the card in his hand and announced to the camera with the cat-faced mask:
"So……"

"Everything is ready..."

"Start filling it with water now!"

Yuan Yuzi was startled. She looked up and saw a column of water gushing out of the porthole at the top of the glass cabin. In an instant, it soaked the bodies of the two people and flooded over their knees.

Fushimi Shika looked down at Kitsune through the Noh mask.

When he met her for the first time, he felt that Fox Princess was somewhat familiar, especially her eyes. The way she looked at people made him feel like he had seen her somewhere before, but he could not remember where.

"Why?" Fox Princess stared into his eyes and suddenly asked jokingly, "Do you want to see if my skirt will float up?"

"Sorry, I'm not interested in women."

Fushimi Shikaku started talking nonsense. He lowered his head and drew a pure gold card. Seeing this, Kitsune skipped the topic and drew a card right after him. The two of them took turns drawing five cards and looked at the cards in their hands in silence.

At the same time, Morimu Yalan couldn't help but ask the arbitrator: "It's said that we're going to use a card to compete for victory or defeat, so what are the rules of the competition? Is it to compare the size? Or the points?"

As soon as the words came out, Night Walker Seven sneered and said, "How can you open the cards before betting? Did you listen to the rules carefully? So, it's hard to communicate with stupid people..."

He sat at the table with his legs crossed, not looking like a serious host. After mocking Morimu Yalan, he continued:

"Yes, deducing the complete rules of winning and losing is also part of the game."
