Studying biochemistry in anime is definitely a mistake

But this mountain, which is only 80 kilometers away from the Japanese capital, is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government.

Mount Fuji belongs to only one shrine on it - the Sengen Shrine. In order to allow tourists to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Mount Fuji, the Neon government even requires them to pay taxes to the Sengen Shrine every year.

It is precisely because of this that this mountain that is not under the jurisdiction of the Japanese government, in these dark corners that are not covered by Japanese laws, has naturally become a hotbed for terrorist activities.

As long as Nan Tianren's guess is reasonable, the headquarters of the terrorist organization led by Sada Kuni Ikki should be at the other end of this tunnel through Mount Fuji!

……

Inside a room in the Mt. Fuji tunnel.

"Here's the remaining 9 billion yen."

Night Walker Princess Gu Yi took nine suitcases from the Gambler staff outside the door and placed them in front of Sada Kuni Ikki.

"Here, is 10 billion yen from Lord Sada Kuniki."

Sada Kuniki's [Gambler] notary also placed several suitcases in front of Nan Tianren.

"Next, please let the two of you decide on the winning method. The Gambler Club has prepared the following games..."

Yexing Fei Guyi placed fifty-four cards on the table between Nan Tianren and Sada Kuni Ikki, and each card recorded a way of playing the game.

"Too much trouble!"

Sada Kuniki interrupted Night Walker Princess Ancient One and said:

"This is such a troublesome way to decide! Do you have anything to cover your eyes?"

"I have a handkerchief here."

Night Walker Princess Gu Yi pulled a handkerchief out of her pocket.

Sada Kuni Ikki took the handkerchief from Night Walker Princess Koichi, took off his glasses, tied the handkerchief around his face, covered his eyes and said:

"I'm nearsighted, and I can't see clearly without my glasses. Plus, I'm blindfolded. Next, I'll randomly draw a card from these fifty-four cards for our next gambling game. This way, it should be quick and fair."

"Hmph, well, I'll let you choose the gambling method."

Nan Tianren waved his hands and slumped in his chair, looking like he didn't care at all.

"Okay, since both parties have no objection, I will rearrange the positions of these fifty-four cards."

After Night Walker Princess Gu Yi rearranged the fifty-four cards, the blindfolded Sada Kuni Ikki immediately began to grope around on the table.

"It's decided to be you!" Sada Kuni held up one of the cards: "What game did I choose?"

"The game chosen by Master Sada Kuniki is - Draw the Joker Cards!"

Draw the joker card - both players first select two sets of cards from A to 10 from a deck of playing cards, plus a joker card, for a total of cards. After shuffling the cards, both players take turns drawing cards. The first player draws cards, and the second player draws cards. As long as they make a pair, they can play. Both players take turns drawing a card from the other player, and the person who holds the joker card at the end loses.

"The difference between this gambling and the usual joker card drawing is that each joker card has a number written on it, ranging from one to five, representing the number of times the gallows has been assembled. The losing party will accumulate the number on the joker card, and the first person to accumulate eleven points will be hanged by the gallows."

Night Walker Princess Ancient One continued:

"Violence is prohibited during the game, and all weapons will be managed by the Gambler's Club. Let me confirm one last time. Although both of you seem to be uninterested in this, as long as the cheating behavior is not discovered by the other party, the Gambler's Club will definitely not interfere. Is this ok?"

"no problem."

"I have no opinion."

Nan Tianren and Sada Kuni Ikki replied at the same time.

"Then, I declare that the bet between Nan Tianren and Sada Kuni Ikki has officially begun!"

Night Walker Princess Gu Yi waved her hand, and the game officially began:

"The shuffling will be done by me and the notary of Sada Kuni Ikki-sama. We will ensure that you two will not know the contents of the cards before you receive them. So, how will you two decide who will attack first and who will attack second?"

"Then let's guess the game."

Nan Tianren suggested.

"I have no opinion."

Kazuki Sada also agreed with Nan Tianren's proposal.

"Scissors! Rock! Paper!"

Nantenjin throws a punch, while Sadakoni Ikki throws a cloth.

"Hmph! The first to strike has the advantage! Draw a card!"

Kazuki Sada draws eleven cards from the deck.

"Then I'll just take ten cards. After all, nothing is more reassuring than having fewer cards."

Nan Tianren drew the remaining ten cards from the deck.

Both players played away all the cards that had formed a pair in their hands, leaving Nan Tianren with only four cards left, while Sada Kuniki had only three cards left.

Unsurprisingly, the only joker card remained in Nan Tianren's hand, and the number on this joker card was five.

Sada Kuniki drew the cards first - there was only a one in four chance of drawing a joker card. Sada Kuniki was lucky enough to draw a number card and successfully made a pair, leaving him with only two cards left in his hand.

Next it is Nan Tianren's turn to draw a card. No matter what card Nan Tianren draws, he will make a pair, leaving only a joker card and a number card.

And Sada Kuniki will only have one card left in his hand. As long as Sada Kuniki does not draw a joker card in his next draw, the first game will be declared over, and Nan Tianren's hanging count points will directly accumulate to five points, which is almost half.

Now, it's Sada Kuniki's turn to draw a card.

"Sada Kuniki-san, let me tell you a good news."

Nan Tianren held up his only two cards in front of Sada Kuniki, pointed at the card on the right and said:

"The card you want is here! This is a big gift from me, hehe, just believe me, come on, draw this card, quickly..."

Completely ignoring Nan Tianren's nonsense, Sada Kuni Ikki pulled out the card on the left and successfully made a pair.

"You lose, little brat! You lied! The card in your hand must be a joker, right? Come on, show me the number of the joker."

"It's number five. It seems my luck is not very good. Now I am five steps away from being hanged. I didn't expect you to see through me so quickly. Is my inducement too obvious?"

Nan Tianren said as he threw the joker card onto the table.

"Don't get me wrong! I never took your words seriously from the beginning. A bastard like you can just use some bluffing tricks. These things will never work on me!"

Sada Kuniki continued to taunt:

"Didn't I tell you? This is your destiny. The reason you were born into this world is to die here today! Hand over all 10 billion yen to me!"

The Nightwalker Princess Gu Yi also appeared behind Nan Tianren at the right time and assembled the gallows in five steps.

There were only six steps left before Nantianren was hanged.

The pain that a person being hanged will endure is not fleeting. The neck vein is blocked by about two kilograms, the neck artery is blocked by about four to five kilograms, the airway is blocked by about fifteen kilograms, and the vertebral artery is blocked by about twenty-nine kilograms.

Once a person reaches these values, they will feel unable to breathe and hear the surrounding sounds because their feet are off the ground, and they will feel severe pain all over their body.

Because blood cannot flow to the face, the victim's face will not turn red, but will turn pale. The appearance can be likened to a blue cantaloupe.

Although the prisoner will lose consciousness in less than ten seconds, these ten seconds are extremely long for the prisoner himself.

If it were an ordinary person, when the gallows was almost half assembled behind him, he would definitely lose control of himself and even have difficulty sitting. However, Nan Tianren was still smiling, attributing everything to bad luck.

"When a person is about to die, the more he or she can experience the fear of death, the more he or she will feel that it is great to be alive."

Nan Tianren continued:

"I feel very much alive right now, and I don't want to die yet. I want to keep living. You just said that I just wanted to shoot, but you didn't care at all, as if you were sure that you wouldn't die here. Do you think that even if you die here, it's just fate?

But it is precisely because you don't want to die and your persistence in victory that you will eventually win. You will give your life to God and have no fear of death! You are already a dead person! And the dead can never defeat the living! What's more, I am a giant who loves life!"

Chapter 12 Drawing Ghost Cards

"Humph! Will persistence in life bring victory? Boring! This is sheer nonsense!"

Hearing Nan Tianren's words, Sada Kuni Ikki sneered:

"But I'm not going to expound some truths or refute your words now. After all, for a dying person, there is no point in saying anything. In short, no matter what a person says, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is what he can accomplish! Only when a person does something is it meaningful! You can only bark at these beautiful words after you win this bet!"

"A card is broken. We need to replace the spare deck. Please wait for a moment."

Night Walker Princess Gu Yi noticed that the corner of a playing card was folded, and immediately decided to replace it with a spare set of playing cards.

"Mr. Night Walker Ancient One, for the sake of fairness, can you replace the backup deck after each game?"

Nan Tianren suddenly asked the Nightwalker Princess Gu Yi.

"This is a reasonable request, no problem!"

Ye Xing Fei Gu Yi nodded.

──There is no passive manipulation on the playing cards. Aren’t the jokers marked by “sweat”?

When Nan Tianren got the joker card, he checked all the cards in his hand to make sure that none of the cards had been tampered with. The card with the corner folded was also done intentionally by Nan Tianren, with the purpose of replacing it with a new deck of cards to further eliminate the possibility of tampering with the cards.

──If the other party doesn’t identify the joker by “sweating”, then how does he know which card in my hand is the joker?

From the very beginning, Nan Tianren had already determined that the other party was cheating, because he didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Sada Kuniki could beat five members of the Gambler Club just by luck.

──He must have cheated. When he heard me say that the card on the right was a number card, he took the other card without any hesitation or delay. He didn't even think about whether what I said was true or false. It was as if he already knew that the card on the right was a joker before he started drawing cards.

──I'm afraid his cheating had already begun when he decided on the way to play the game. But if he is not discovered, it is not considered cheating! Although I only played one game with him, I can feel that this terrorist who calls himself a revolutionary is definitely not an ordinary person!

Draw the joker card, round two, start!

"It's my turn to attack first in this round! Draw a card!"

Nan Tianren drew eleven cards from the deck.

Sada Kuniki also drew the remaining ten cards from the deck.

First, play off the paired cards in your hand. Nan Tianren still has five cards left, while Sada Kuni Ikki still has six cards left, and the joker is not in Nan Tianren's hand.

There was only a one in six chance of drawing a joker card - naturally, Nan Tianren did not draw a joker card and successfully completed a pair, with four cards remaining.

Sada Kuni Ikki, who is attacking later, will definitely be able to draw a number card from Nan Tianren, who has no joker card, and make a pair with the number card in his hand.

Soon, the game came to a point where Nan Tianren only had one card left, while Sada Kuniki still had two cards left. Nan Tianren had never drawn the joker card, so the joker card naturally remained in Sada Kuniki's hand.

The game method of drawing joker cards itself means that the game will eventually become a duel between two cards and one card. The key is who can avoid drawing joker cards when there is only a pair of number cards left at the end.

Under ideal circumstances, the game of drawing joker cards will eventually turn into a game of pure luck with a 50% chance of winning or losing.

"now you!"

Ikki Sada held up the only two cards in his hand in front of Nan Tianren.
