Tokyo: Rabbit Police and Her Evil Partner

Chapter 354 The final trump card
If Fushimi Shika still has some air chips left, then she will not be sure of winning the oxygen consumption war.

This round, I have to gamble.

Even so, she still has a good chance of winning.

Although she didn't figure out why Fushimi Shika folded in the last round, there was no doubt that the hand pattern she could form this round was bigger than her opponent's!

But when did this guy break the dial?
Fox Princess recalled briefly, remembering her action of surfacing to breathe at the beginning - could it be that from that moment on, this guy had already been planning to disguise his oxygen reserves?

That being the case...

Fox Princess tentatively raised the bet by one chip.

Fushimi Shika called the bet decisively without any thought. After calling the bet, he went all in again!
Chips remaining, zero!!
A game that is sure to lose if you go all out!

Fox Princess was stunned. She wondered why? Why not just call one chip? Did this guy think that the difference of one chip was not enough to win the oxygen consumption war? Or did he think that this hand was bound to lose, and bet everything on the possibility of a mistake in the deck?
Are you trying to force me to fold?

This is the most likely strategy... to get me to fold by bluffing and gain a 1 chip advantage...

Did he underestimate me, or was he sure of winning?
No, I shouldn't let my thoughts lead me...

Did he originally want to engage in a war of attrition?
That’s right, only in this way, judging from the cards, can he win!

Just to prepare for the oxygen consumption war in advance, he smashed the dial, turned the pointer to 0, pretended that the oxygen was exhausted, and risked drowning to fight for the last chance of victory!
Wonderful……

What a wonderful performance...

Unfortunately, the final winner will be me!

Fox Girl suddenly pushed out six chips and chose to call!

It has ended!
不论是在场的源玉子等人，还是七罪圣殿的参与者，以及实时转播的观众们，他们都能看得出来，伏见鹿的25能组成的最大牌型为7、3、5、5、5；而她的44能组成的最大牌型为7、7、10、10、10……

Everyone waited for the arbitrator to determine the result.

If nothing unexpected happens, the two people below are also desperately thinking about how to form the biggest hand using the numbers given...

You could hear a pin drop in the square, and everyone's eyes were focused on the arbitrator.

后者捂着耳机，沉默片刻后，没有再遮遮掩掩卖关子，大声宣布道：“狐姬的44组成的牌型为：方块7、黑桃7、黑桃10、梅花10、方块10……是10葫芦！”

No mistakes!

Seeing the arbitrator's lip movements, Kitsune even wanted to stand up and shake hands with Fushimi Shika to express her respect - she hadn't had so much fun in a long time.

However, the arbitrator then announced: "Ghost Cut wins!"

"Game 5, end!"

"The bet amount is twelve chips!"

The difference between the two sides is as high as 14 chips, and the bet is over! !
Although he didn't understand what was going on, Fujiwara Tomo was the first to cheer. Then he realized that there was silence all around him. Everyone looked in disbelief, not knowing what had just happened.

The one who found it most difficult to accept was Fox Princess herself.

why? !

why! !

How did they lose? ! !

Where did I lose? ! !
This thought lingered in everyone's mind. Fushimi Shika was underwater and did not explain. He just opened his arms, hugged all the chips, and slowly moved them to his side.

……

……

The clock goes back to the end of the third game.

Fushimi Shika pounded the table in near exasperation, and the vibration was transmitted to the operating room through the steel pillars. Both Kazama Takusai and Hui Sikong could hear it clearly.

The rapid knocking sound was undoubtedly a message conveyed to them by a participant at the upper level.

It's Morse code.

Translated, it means "PIN".

What do you mean?
Master Hui Sikong kept thinking, and it was because of the sudden information that he made a mistake when he was assembling the cards in the fourth round.

On the surface, pin means "needle", and there is no clear reference except that they are being pierced. Moreover, the participants above should not know the punishments of the lower levels, so pin should not refer to the silver needles they are being tortured with...

Master Hui Sikong realized that this message was not sent to him by Fox Princess.

Because after the fourth round of cards were opened, Takusai Kazama also made a mistake in building the cards.

why?
After the first round of punishment, Takusai Kazama was still able to assemble cards normally, which was enough to prove that he could stay awake after suffering intense pain - why did he make a mistake after receiving the prompt?
What does "PIN" mean?
Is it a code word that only the two of them understand?

Although the fourth round was extremely difficult and it was normal to make mistakes in deck building, Master Hui Sikong knew that Kazama Takusai definitely made the mistake on purpose!

第四局能用26组成的最大牌型，是三张6带梅花4和红桃4——但风间拓斋选择了失误，错用第一局用过的黑桃4，这样就能把梅花4保留到第五局！

but……

why?
What good is there in intentional mistakes?

This guy must have made the mistake for some purpose, but what was the point of keeping the 4 of clubs until the fifth game?
The only solution is to make mistakes yourself and disrupt the possible hand formation... But if you make mistakes on your own and fail to form the largest hand formation, causing the upper-level participants to lose, you will have to bear the punishment of "Silent Needle"...

For an uncertain thing...do you really want to make a mistake?
Besides, can that guy really make a mistake on his own initiative? Making a mistake on his own initiative means accepting punishment. Is there anyone who can take the initiative to endure the torture of silent needles?

Master Hui Sikong glanced sideways at the shadow on the other side of the curtain. He knew that Kazama Takusai was lying next to him.

——'What's so great about bullying others by relying on your body? Don't be too proud too soon, my boss is definitely better than you!'

He still remembered that Watanabe Shun had shouted this sentence.

Before designing the gambling mechanism, Ninomiya Kino had conducted multiple rounds of tests. In order to prevent the card builders from making deliberate mistakes, he used such cruel punishment. The final conclusion was that "it is impossible for anyone to voluntarily endure this kind of torture" - this has nothing to do with willpower, it is entirely due to human instinct.

If he can't do it, then Takuya Kazama shouldn't be able to do it either...

"After going through that kind of pain, would anyone really try to be tortured again?"

"Even if the higher-ups transmit the hand number information, with the threat of the "Silent Needle", how could that guy deliberately make a small deck?"

Master Hui Sikong murmured to himself in his heart.

Both sides made mistakes in their hand-building, so they needed to re-build their cards.

This time, Master Hui Sikong was defeated by his own instinct. He used 63 to form the largest hand, namely K, K, K, Q, Q;

However, Takusai Kazama still insisted on making mistakes, forming A, 2, 3, 4, 5, and still using the 4 of spades!

The moment the cards were announced, he realized he had lost.

It is impossible to make two mistakes in a row.

That’s right, the man named Kazama Takusai made the mistake on purpose!
——He would rather endure torture than give up on that chance of winning!
Fushimi Kakashi folded his cards in the fourth round in order to make "25" the trump card; and Kazama Takusai knew that his hole card was "25", so he kept the 4 of clubs and formed a straight flush of clubs for Fushimi Kakashi in the final decisive round! !

Before the final torture, Master Hui Sikong could not help but turn his head and look at the other side of the curtain and asked, "What does pin mean?"

……

There was a brief silence in the operating room.

Ninomiya Kino was not in a hurry to use acupuncture, he was also curious about Kazama Takusai's answer.

After a moment, a low and tired voice came:

"It's the abbreviation of police identification number, which literally means 'police identification number', which is the police number. If I remember correctly, his police number is 25."

Fengjian Takusai paused, his eyes blurred. He was so tired that he murmured unconsciously:

"A police number?... So this is his final trump card."

……

The gamble is over.

The Seven Sins Temple was in an uproar. The trials created by the designers were complex and ingenious, and the scoring rules they established were undoubtedly addictive honey. But if the designers did not abide by the rules and used the "immunity privilege" like Aum Shinrikyo, then all the trials just announced would become a joke!
As the dictator of Cat Island, the genius who has just taken office for less than two hours, will the chief designer use his own life to maintain the "absolute rules" of this island? !

Everyone's eyes were focused on the glass cabin.

At this moment, Fox Princess was reviewing the game in her mind. She didn't know from when she lost the game.

Where did I lose?
She had anticipated all possibilities, thought of all the optimal solutions, and even luck was on her side...how did she lose?

……

Is it over?

Did I actually... lose?

Is this what it feels like to lose?
……

……

Time passes bit by bit.

Kitsune discarded her last oxygen chip and allowed her body to float upwards.

The arbitrator counted down ten seconds, and when the time was up, Fushimi's handcuff key popped out. He bent down and picked up the chips, picked up the key, unlocked the handcuffs, and gradually began to float up.

However, just as he floated into the air, he was suddenly grabbed by the ankle by Fox Princess.

Fujiwara Yu immediately pointed at the glass cabin and shouted, "Is this a foul? This is obviously a foul! How can you drag someone?!"

The arbitrator immediately stated that pulling the ankle was not an act of violence and did not interfere with the progress of the gambling game, and was within the normal scope of gambling; on the contrary, if Fushimi Shika used violence, he would be judged as the loser on the spot for violating the rules!

"That's too much of a cheat, isn't it? Isn't the bet over?!" Fujiwara Takashi couldn't stand anyone cheating, and only he could use the privilege, while others couldn't.

The arbitrator reiterated that the gambling game ends when:

——Until one party drowns!
Fox Princess hooked her feet on the chair and sat down again. She changed the chips with one hand - not only did Fushimi Shika hide the oxygen, she also hid the oxygen!

Act as if you are waiting to die and slowly use up the remaining chips, all for the purpose of making a comeback at the last moment!
That's right, she hasn't lost yet!
