Chapter 321 All the best
Allen actually drew out the 6 of Spades, which was originally held by the God of Wealth and later drawn by Ix and put into his own hand.
"What a coincidence."
Xia Yubing thought: "First it was the God of Wealth, then Ix, and then Allen. After each round, the 6 of Spades will be drawn once and change its position. And every time this card changes hands, it is getting closer to the gambler."
Why did such an incredible thing happen?
Xia Yubing lowered her head and looked at the line of words written by Ning Zhe. She already had the answer in her mind.
"Because the 6 of clubs is in the gambler's hand, the 6 of spades that can pair with the 6 of clubs will be drawn again and again, getting closer to the gambler round by round, until finally, it falls into his hands."
The gambler's luck is really good, so good that he won't be hit by a single shot when playing Russian roulette, and so good that when he draws the joker cards, the cards he needs will come to him on their own.
Everything goes smoothly, everything goes well, it is blessed with good fortune, and it has great luck.
It was Ix's turn to draw.
Xia Yubing calmed herself down and looked at Ix's hand reaching out to the God of Wealth. She couldn't help but wonder: Which card did the God of Wealth draw from Sally Sally's hand in the last round of drawing cards?
It seems to be the 9 of spades?
As soon as this thought came to mind, a playing card slipped from Ix's fingers and fell on the table with a plop.
9 of spades
"Sure enough." Xia Yubing was no longer surprised: "The 9 of Spades was originally in Sally Sally's hand, and then it was drawn by the God of Wealth, and then by Ix..."
In the next round of drawing cards, I guess Allen will be drawn again, right?
"This 9 of Spades is also actively approaching the gambler, which means that the gambler has another card in his hand that can match it, that is, the 9 of Clubs."
Xia Yubing glanced at the gambler sitting motionless at the table and the only three cards left in his hand, and he already had the answer in his mind:
"The three cards the gambler holds should be the 3 of clubs, the 6 of clubs, and an unknown card."
"And the two cards that can match it are: the 6 of spades is in Aaron's hand, and the 9 of spades is in Ix's hand."
"That is to say, next time it is my turn to draw a card from the gambler, I will definitely not be able to draw the 6 of clubs or the 9 of clubs in his hand. I will definitely draw the unknown card, because no matter which one of the 6 of clubs or the 9 of clubs I draw, it will cause the gambler to have a card in his hand that cannot be paired."
This kind of thing will never happen. Everything goes smoothly for the gambler. Everything goes well for the gambler. The gambler is blessed with good fortune. There will never be any probabilistic event that is harmful to the gambler at the card table. His luck is just this good.
It's the God of Wealth's turn to draw the cards.
Xia Yubing gathered her thoughts and focused her attention on the God of Wealth's hand. Perhaps she could judge the suit of the last card in the gambler's hand by the card the God of Wealth drew...
——Ace of Clubs.
The God of Wealth drew an Ace of Clubs from Sally Sally's hand and put it into his own hand. Apparently, He did not have a matching card, and the Ace of Spades was not in His hand.
It's Sally's turn to draw a card.
Sally Sally glanced at Xia Yubing cautiously, with a complicated look in her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
She drew a 7 of Hearts from Xia Yubing's hand, which matched successfully with the 7 of Diamonds in her own hand, and the two cards were discarded together in the center of the table.
Sally Sally has 4 cards left in her hand.
She was lucky and once again drew a card that matched her hand. Now she was the player with the fewest cards on the field except for the gambler. With only four cards left, she could leave.
Sally Sally's luck was really good, probably because she and Xia Yubing had previously held mass in front of the statue of the crucifix dripping with Ning Zhe's blood, thus meeting the conditions for sacrifice, blessing, and fire.
But her good luck also made Xia Yubing feel puzzled. She had clearly attended mass with Sally Sally, and they had both worshipped and prayed to the crucifix together. Why was it that only Sally Sally had good luck, while she did not seem to have any good luck?
With this thought in mind, Xia Yubing turned around, and now it was her turn to draw a card.
Xia Yubing didn't delay any longer and directly reached out to pull a card from the gambler's hand. As expected, it was not the 6 of clubs, nor the 9 of clubs, but this:
Club Jack. Xia Yubing didn't have a card that could match the Club Jack, so she had to include it in her hand.
This round of drawing ends and the next round of drawing begins.
It's the gambler's turn to draw the cards again.
Allen, who had realized something, nervously shuffled the cards in his hand over and over again, then opened them into a fan shape, held them up facing himself, and nervously stared at the suits on the front of each card.
There was nothing unusual in the gambler's movements. He raised his corpse-spotted hand as usual, stretched it in front of Allen as usual, and gently pinched one of the cards with his fingers as usual.
"How can it be?!"
The moment the cards were pinched, Allen finally couldn't help but scream out in shock, his face full of horror.
He clenched his palms tightly, as if he didn't want the gambler to pull the card out, but the gambler stood still, and his two fingers emitting a rotten smell clamped the card he had chosen like iron clamps, and he forcibly pulled it out and threw it on the table with a bang.
6 of spades.
"Sure enough." Xia Yubing sighed inwardly.
Then, the gambler drew a club 6 from the only two cards left in his hand and discarded it in the middle of the table together with the spade 6.
The gambler has only one card left in his hand.
"If my previous speculation is correct, the last card in its hand should be the 9 of clubs." Xia Yubing thought to himself.
And the 9 of Spades, which can pair with the 9 of Clubs, is now in...
Xia Yubing silently turned his gaze to Ix across the table.
It was Allen's turn to draw.
It is known that the last card in the gambler's hand is most likely the 9 of clubs, and the 9 of spades, the only card that can pair with the 9 of clubs, is now in Ix's hand.
If Allen draws the 9 of Spades from Ix next, then when this round of drawing ends and the next round of drawing begins, the gambler will definitely draw the 9 of Spades from Allen.
At that time, the gambler will be able to clear his last card and be the first to leave empty-handed.
Ix endured the severe pain from the gunshot wound on his thigh and cast an ambiguous look at Allen. Although the information they had was not as complete as that of Xia Yubing and Ning Zhe, it was enough for the two to understand one thing clearly - Allen must not draw the 9 of spades next time.
Snap, snap, snap——
Ix shuffled the cards in his hand over and over again, then opened them into a round fan and held them in front of him.
Allen swallowed nervously and stretched out his hand in front of Ix. He slowly moved his fingers over the cards, observing Ix's expression as he moved.
After considering for a long time, Allen finally selected a card from the fan and pinched it with his fingers.
At the same time, Ickes' expression suddenly froze.
If Xia Yubing stood behind Ix now, she would be able to see that the card held by Allen was none other than... the 9 of Spades.
"How can it be……"
Seeing the surprised expression on Ix's face, Allen's eyes widened immediately, and he subconsciously wanted to loosen his fingers and choose a new card.
At this moment, the gambler who had been sitting motionless at the table suddenly stood up.
