This seems to be a checkpoint set up by the owner of this place, and the gatekeeper here is the 'dealer' of Texas Hold'em. It seems that as long as you can win with good poker skills, you can leave here.
This method sounds simple, but they have tried it countless times while they were trapped.
It’s so funny that you can’t play at all!
"Mathematics? Between failing and not failing..." Lu Mingfei answered uncertainly, "Does this have anything to do with leaving here?"
"That's it..." Gao Mi sighed again. He found that he had sighed all the sighs in his life since he came here, "You must not be able to do it either. My math score back then was second in the college. Still no match for the 'janitor' here."
"Who is number one?" Lu Mingfei asked involuntarily.
"Fingel von Flins, that seems to be the name." Gao Mi answered subconsciously, but soon discovered something was wrong, "Junior brother, is it time to care about who is number one? "
He completely failed to understand the ordinary-looking junior brother in front of him. There was nothing wrong with his brain, right?
It's obvious that he is already trapped here, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
"It's really not the time to care about this... But when you say it like this, I thought that if I went back to the hotel and grabbed the good-for-nothing Brother Shi before coming here, I would be able to get through easily. It's really a mistake..." Lu Mingfei said with emotion.
"Who is Brother Shi Chai?" Gao Mi was slightly stunned.
"Um...you don't know yet, right? The number one in your mouth, Fingel von Flins, is now the eighth senior in the academy's history." Lu Mingfei shrugged slightly and complained.
"Damn...how did I get stepped on by this guy in the first place?" Gao Mi seemed to have fallen into Lu Mingfei's rhythm and couldn't help but complain.
Soon, he reacted: "No... Junior brother, now is not the time to discuss these, is it? Should we discuss how to save ourselves?"
"Uh... that's right." Lu Mingfei scratched his head and nodded with an awkward smile, "So does being good at math have anything to do with leaving here?"
"There are many things here that you can't expect." Gao Mi said and stood up, as if preparing to lead Lu Mingfei.
Several other people also stood up. Although they didn't have any hope for Lu Mingfei, they all seemed to think that it would be better to give it a try than sit here and wait for death.
Lu Mingfei followed them suspiciously, passing several carriages and seemed to be heading towards the carriage at the end of the train.
Along the way, Gao Mi continued to explain: "You will be able to see that guy soon... It is better to feel it with your own eyes. I can't describe such a weird creature. What I can tell you is... this seems to be a An alchemical labyrinth like the mythical labyrinth of Minos.”
"The labyrinth of Minos?" Lu Mingfei was slightly startled, "Will there be a giant beast like a pharaoh blocking your way and asking you, 'What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and at night? Walk on three legs'?"
Gao Mi felt ashamed when he heard this: "Junior brother, you are talking about the myth of the Sphinx... The Labyrinth of Milos tells the story of the Minotaur. Although they are both Greek myths, there are still differences."
"I know, I know... I like the tauren the most. Anyway, it's the same. To pass such a copy is nothing more than beating the gatekeeper according to the rules of the game or... killing her directly." Lu Mingfei shrugged slightly, He curled his lips and said simple and easy-to-understand truths.
"That's true..." Gao Mi smiled awkwardly, why does he like tauren?
He seemed to have indeed heard on the forum that a very aggressive new student had entered the school a while ago. He also heard that someone was interested in the fiancée of the student union president. Could he be referring to this junior brother?
Talent?
The person who can become the president of the student union must be a strong man, at least the elite among the elite among the many students in the college. Since he can compete with the president of the student union for a woman... then...
"Junior brother, are you good at fighting?"
If Lu Mingfei knew what this guy was thinking now, he would definitely punch him to let him know how good he was.
[Lu Mingfei: There are all kinds of facts on the forum. Senior brother, have you ever thought that the violent guy you mentioned and the guy who is interested in the fiancée of the student union president are not the same person? And we seem to be no longer interested in Senior Sister Nuonuo.
Sun Haoran: Huh? Who do you think is not a human being? 】
"Not good at it, but there are people who are good at it...right?"
Lu Mingfei asked with some uncertainty.
This time, Lu Mingze did not respond.
After a lesson from the few gangsters he met before, he had already figured out his own strength.
Hmm...that is, to the extent that it can deal with a few gangsters.
After all, he tried his best and couldn't even slap the opponent's head against the wall and smash it into pieces.
Not to mention the Dragon King, even if he faced a killer like Senior Brother Chu, he would be beaten.
After all, when the time comes to meet the Dragon King, it will really depend on Lu Mingze's strength.
Of course, his courage to face the battle is also essential.
After all, if he gets stage fright in battle, no matter how powerful Lu Mingze is, he is just a 'ghost'-like existence. Is it possible that he can still go into battle in person?
"Then let's just follow the rules honestly?" Gao Mi said speechlessly, "In short, this maze is not that exaggerated. We don't need to defeat the gatekeeper. If your math is good enough or your card skills are good enough, you can leave."
"If he plays in StarCraft, he will definitely be fine..." Zhao Menghua said with a sad face, as if he had no hope at all.
"I told you that if you don't speak, no one will think you are mute. Do you have the right to speak here?" Lu Mingfei said angrily.
He had no idea whether Mr. Zhao was really stupid or fake. He was here to save him, right? Have you ever spoken to your savior like this?
"I don't only know how to play StarCraft. As long as it's a game, it's pretty much the same to me." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes, looked at Gao Mi and continued to ask, "So who is the gatekeeper? A tauren? "
"No, you'll see it soon..."
Gao Mi said, stopping in front of the closed valve of the last carriage.
Anyone could tell that something was wrong with this carriage. After all, this was the only door that had been closed along the way.
"I'm telling you about myths and legends because I want you to understand the rules of this maze. Take the legend of the Sphinx's Riddle you mentioned. Such alchemical mazes often have the same characteristics. First, there must be people who can Escape rules.
two is……
Even the gatekeeper cannot break the rules of the maze. Just like the riddle posed by the Sphinx to Oedipus, it is also a riddle constructed through alchemy, but using 'speech' as the material. If Oedipus gives the correct answer, the Sphinx will inevitably follow the "rules of the labyrinth" and fall off the cliff to his death. Even if she closes Oedipus and is powerful, she cannot break the rules. "
"It's like... Yanling?"
"Yes, this is a miraculous place built by dragon technology, a maze that exists in different dimensions underground in the capital." Gao Mi affirmed softly, "Here, the rules are different from those outside, so even if there is no water and food, we can It will not age or die, it will only become more and more dry..."
As he spoke, he lifted up his shirt, revealing his torso with skin clinging to his ribs. Skinny as a stick was the perfect word to describe him at this moment.
"It looks like this is a really great place to lose weight. Maybe I should bring my cute cousin here to give it a try? My uncle and aunt will thank me..."
Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes and complained.
But complaints are complaints, and he understood the general concept here.
But then, another doubt arose.
"etc……"
Myths and legends are just myths and legends after all, and reality is often different from legends.
Maybe the senior brother in front of me doesn't know?
This is the Nibelung that belongs to the Dragon King...
The domain of the Dragon King.
The Dragon King...is the creator of all spirit spirits.
Is there really a word spirit in this world that can restrain the Dragon King?
"Senior brother, if...I mean if...if the gatekeeper waiting for us is a Dragon King, will the rules here still apply to her?"
"Forehead……"
Such a question made Gao Mi freeze on the spot, and the hand that originally wanted to push the valve stopped in mid-air.
Dense cold sweat continued to break out from his forehead, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the tips of his hair.
He really hadn't thought about such an idea.
Maybe it's because the 'dealer', although he looks scary, is very kind to them?
After all, they had been here for nine whole days.
Can any human being really be able to live in the same room with a dragon king for nine days?
"Probably...not right?"
"Maybe."
Lu Mingfei shrugged slightly, looking embarrassed.
"Hmph, coward, you seem to be more courageous than before?" Liu Wukui glanced at Lu Mingfei approvingly.
It's not that she wants to look down on the people in the academy, but these guys really don't live up to expectations.
Not only Lu Mingfei, but also the two Cassel College Executive Department Commissioners in front of him, none of them felt very good.
After only being locked up for a few days, the opponent has not done anything. These guys have almost completely lost their fighting ability. Even if they escape from here, they will probably have to lie down immediately.
After all, they are just a bunch of graduates born in a college. How can they be as sophisticated as veterans like them?
"I am over-flattered……"
Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly, "Because I have encountered many things... I am now considered a person who has seen the world... This kind of situation can only be said to be a small scene."
"Hmph, that's right." Liu Wukui snorted and turned his head again.
Chen Duo, who was on the side, saw Gao Mi standing there in a daze for some reason, so he thoughtfully stepped forward and opened the valve in front of him.
The cold air blew out from the last carriage, and Gao Mi trembled all over.
"The gatekeeper is quite nice. He even provides us with mahjong and chess cards when we are bored. He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."
Chen Duo walked at the front as if nothing had happened and led Lu Mingfei to the last carriage on Gao Mi's behalf.
"Oh, so that's it?"
Lu Mingfei suddenly realized, because when he appeared just now, the group was sitting around in the carriage playing cards, thinking about it, they must be studying how to defeat the gatekeeper.
"Um……"
Chen Duo nodded slightly.
There was still half a sentence she didn't say.
This was also the reason why she and sister Kuier did not use force.
It is their mission this time to track the commissioners from the executive departments of these two colleges to find the 'Dragon's Nest'. At the same time, they also know that this is just a part of the 'Dragon Training Plan'.
Since you want to have a good relationship with the lovely dragon, it is naturally wrong to use violence.
This time, even sister Kuier's violent temper was obeying orders obediently.
There was no way, who was the proposer of the plan... the Sun Haoran who was kind to both of them?
"So what kind of game is the janitor playing?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Texas Hold'em." Wan Boqian answered on behalf of the frightened Gao Mi, "If you win all the gatekeeper's chips, you can leave here. Those who lose all their bets will return to this train and be trapped here forever. "
"Isn't it right? The train obviously stopped when I got on..." Lu Mingfei asked, "Have you ever tried to get off?"
"I tried it, but that door is like an infinite corridor. That door is like a portal for the people trapped inside. Even if you step out, you will immediately return to the carriage. You can even see yourself stretching. The outgoing foot steps in from the door..."
"Wocao... so evil?"
Lu Mingfei imagined the scene described by the other party and suddenly felt his scalp numb.
"Have you ever tried to kill the janitor?"
Lu Mingfei asked again.
Some shook their heads, some nodded.
Those who shook their heads were Chen Duo and Liu Wukui, and those who nodded were Wan Boqian and Gao Mi.
"Obviously, we are not the Greek prince Theseus who can defeat Milotaurs." Gao Mi seemed to have regained his composure, nodded and answered, "That thing can't be killed at all. What's even weirder is that he won't fight back. Although it seems I don’t understand the other person’s expression…but I always feel like standing there and letting us fight is like scorning and laughing at our incompetence.”
"Sounds very powerful..."
Lu Mingfei touched his chin and nodded, "It seems I can only play games with her? You mentioned the bet just now... What is the bet? I just used up all my money online."
"It's not money."
When this was mentioned, Zhao Menghua, Wan Boqian and Gao Mi Yanling felt despair.
Seeing that the three people didn't seem to want to talk, Chen Duo answered for them: "As the train continues to move forward, your stakes will increase. Here, you will never die, but you will be alone forever. And you Loneliness and despair are the chips.”
"Isn't this... really a bad idea?" Lu Mingfei suddenly laughed. This was simply a bet tailor-made for their group of hybrids who were troubled by Bloodmourne, as well as the aliens among humans.
Which...does it have any profound meaning?
Or...
The Dragon King is actually lonely. After all, since it is a bargaining chip, the 'dealer' as the gatekeeper naturally also has chips in his hand. The condition for winning is to win all the opponent's chips...
'Win loneliness away from me'.
It sounds like a lonely child asking for help in an awkward way.
And until now, no one seemed to have beaten her.
Such a gamble will only make her have more and more chips representing loneliness, right?
