【Sophia】 rolled her eyes at Lin Ye, "You continue."

She wouldn't be angered by this guy's flirtatious words; no one who could become an Eerie player was simple.

And, it was highly likely he was deliberately provoking her; she wouldn't fall for it.

【Jack】 interrupted, "The casino wants the participants' souls,"

"Yes, benefiting the Ghost Card holder allows for harvesting more player souls in one activity."

The green-haired ruffian was shocked, "It seems that's really the case. Six souls are definitely better than one soul. Harvesting six souls at once—if I were the casino, I would do the same, deliberately benefiting the Ghost Card holder."

"But you said so much, isn't it still useless? Still nonsense, completely unable to judge who the Ghost Card holder is?"

He said unhappily,

"Hurry up and say your suspect object; next is the discussion and voting session."

"Actually, hasn't the answer already appeared?"

Lin Ye's gaze was on 【Sophia】, and the blonde beauty frowned,

"I suggest you drink less milk; I don't know how you survived until now,"

hold it in.

【Sophia】 reminded herself.

"Fat-gor, what about you!"

"I won't steal your performance opportunity. I'm old, not good anymore. The young people nowadays are truly amazing; the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front!"

The middle-aged man smiled and sighed twice.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys playing riddles for? Who exactly is the Ghost Card holder!"

"Celestia-san, what about you!"

Celestia didn't expect to be asked, "Sorry, I don't know,"

"I'm actually looking forward to Celestia's speech. I think Celestia-san must be able to give the correct answer."

"Sorry, I can't think of it. If Mr. Zero thinks I am the Ghost Card holder, I must express my apologies."

She wore an elegant smile and said in a calm tone.

But inwardly, she felt as if Lin Ye had seen through her.

Could it be an opponent encountered before? But is there such a person? Celestia had confidence in her memory; as a gambler, if one didn't have first-class memory, how could one defeat opponents time and time again and win the gambling game?

The high school girl and the green-haired ruffian were ignored, which made the green-haired ruffian very unhappy,

"Hurry up and say it! Don't keep us in suspense."

"Six players' souls, how can they compare to seven players' souls? Don't you think so, Manager."

"What!"

A stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves.

The blonde beauty 【Sophia】 stared at the two-headed manager, 【Jack】 had a flash of surprise but then felt it was a matter of course. When the target of suspicion was placed on the manager, many things could be explained.

"How could it be him."

The green-haired ruffian shouted,

"He is a casino person, how could the host participate in this activity, and there are only seven cards, there is simply no eighth card!"

He didn't believe it at all, instinctively refuting.

Sophia spoke slowly, "From the beginning, that Ghost Card wasn't put into the deck?"

She was half-believing, still holding some hesitation,

"This is your guess; I need more evidence,"

"Yeah! With your analysis, without the support of evidence, it's completely insufficient!"

Everyone was waiting for Lin Ye to give more evidence.

"First, he never explicitly said that the Ghost Card would be dealt to one of the seven of us,"

"Second, what else can the Ghost Card be called?"

"Joker."

The high school girl Xia Yun spoke up to show off,

"In English, it's Joker."

"Yes, in poker, Joker can usually refer to the big and small Ghost Cards, and this manager's self-introduction, what is his title?"

The manager's title? Isn't that...

Everyone's eyes lit up at this moment.

"J."

Celestia spoke,

"From the beginning... he hinted to us."

Shocked,

the green-haired ruffian suddenly felt his IQ was simply not enough.

The blonde beauty Sophia raised her judgment of Lin Ye by a level; this guy's level was only LV2, just because the time was too short. If given more growth time, he might grow to a terrifying degree.

"Third, why did a staff member with two heads come here to host? The loser will have their soul harvested by the casino. If he has two souls, one as a host and one as a participant, wouldn't that fit the needs of the rules?"

Damn it,

there's that point too!

With two heads, they mostly thought it was just the Eerie's external image performance, just scarier.

"Anything else!"

Sophia didn't think the evidence was just the three points above,

"After the green-haired one spoke..."

"Who is the green-haired one!"

The green-haired ruffian couldn't help but refute twice, but soon shut up and didn't disturb.

"The manager spoke, unexpectedly saying a few extra sentences. This... isn't this his turn for the self-statement session? The self-statement required by the participants?"

"I very much agree with 【Fat-gor】's point of view. The more normal a person seems, the more likely they are to be the Ghost Card holder. Who else here can fit their identity better than the manager?"

Without Lin Ye's reminder and this speech, the other six people wouldn't have thought of this so quickly.

"The last point, in his speech, he mentioned 'whose hand the card will be in'. At that time, among us seven players, except for Celestia-san whose hand was on her card, the other six people's hands were at a considerable distance from the cards,"

"And the manager's hands were never exposed."

In an instant,

the blonde beauty 【Sophia】 and the green-haired ruffian looked at the manager's hands simultaneously, but because of the angle, they couldn't see.

Both wanted to get up, but found that their bodies seemed to be stuck to the stools, unable to move at all.

Lin Ye looked at the manager, "Until now, Mr. Manager, do you have anything to say?"

"Since the guests have finished stating and discussing, then, let's start the voting session. Do the guests have any opinions?"

The manager ignored Lin Ye's refutation and calmly fulfilled his duty.

By this step, there was no need for discussion.

Although facing the vote, everyone still had a trace of panic in their hearts, but now there was no better choice.

Given the current situation, among the seven players, the vast majority would choose the 'manager',

"Okay,"

"Enter the voting session!"

The manager, seeing that everyone agreed, spoke slowly, "Next is the voting session; please point your fingers at the participant you have identified as the 'Ghost Card holder',"

the green-haired ruffian immediately pointed at the manager, followed by the high school girl, Celestia,

and finally all seven pointed at the manager.

Lin Ye actually wanted to try not accusing, or accusing other players to see what the consequences would be, but this dangerous experiment definitely couldn't be done by himself.

"Very good, the voting accusation session is over,"

"The seven guests identified me as the Ghost Card holder,"

"Very regrettable,"

one sentence made several people's hearts go cold, especially the green-haired ruffian who was almost about to go crazy, "I, I knew the manager wasn't the Ghost Card holder, Zero is the Ghost Card holder, we were all deceived by this bastard man!"

The green-haired ruffian almost collapsed.
