Chapter 328

Golden sunlight filled the corridor, and Vivian Port in the middle of the night still looked like noon.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe brushed the dust off his shoulders and left the No. 1 stand where the corpses of Sha Li Sha Li, Ikes, and others were lying.

The corpses of the players who died in the Old Maid game were still there, but the ghost that initiated this gambling game had disappeared, and along with it disappeared the deck of cards they had used to play the Old Maid game before.

"The Gambler woke up faster than I thought, almost as soon as the Requiem stopped, it woke up immediately." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe played with the music box in his hand, thinking secretly in his heart.

When he got this music box from Daoist Duan Geng, he also got the instructions for using this granted item—the ability of the music box to hypnotize fierce ghosts comes from the Requiem recording inside. It is a supernatural piece of music played by a real ghost. Anyone who hears the music will fall into an eternal sleep that is almost impossible to wake up from.

The 'recording' of the Requiem in the music box also has a similar effect, but the effect is weaker than the original version. It is okay to hypnotize some ghosts whose rules have not been triggered and are in a semi-silent state. But if you encounter an active supernatural being whose core rules are in an activated state, such as the Gambler, the God of Wealth, etc., it is conceivable that this fragile hypnotic effect will not last long.

Once the music stops, the ghost will wake up soon.

And if you want to hypnotize someone like 'Te Rang', an extremely evil ghost whose core rules are activated all the time and is looking for people to kill everywhere, it is estimated that only by pulling the body of the ghost that played the Requiem can it be achieved. The recording in the music box can at most make Te Rang's actions slightly slower.

"The Gambler and the God of Wealth are both gone now. Where will they go after they wake up?"

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stuffed the music box into his pocket, crossed the auditorium, and arrived at the edge of the dance floor. In front of him, it was empty. Only the corpses of several players who had been pulled by the Gambler to play Russian Roulette were still sitting in the auditorium, their clothes stained with dried blood and brains. Besides these dead people, there was no one in the auditorium.

According to the Gambler's behavioral pattern, the first thing it does after waking up is to pick a few lucky ones nearby to engage in a new round of gambling. Gambler, gambler, if it doesn't gamble for a day, it will feel itchy all over.

And according to the rules of the God of Wealth Wealth Wu Tong, after he wakes up, he should prioritize finding those who clearly met him but didn't do business to complete the transaction. Like chasing Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe everywhere in Ji Bochang's Chuyun Villa before, it was just to stuff money into his hands.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe thought for a moment and soon reached a conclusion: "The Gambler and the God of Wealth fell asleep in the same room. Where these two ghosts go after waking up mainly depends on which one of them wakes up first."

"If the God of Wealth wakes up first, he will ignore the Gambler who is still sleeping and leave the card table to find Fersolus, Xia Yubing, and others to complete the previous unfinished transactions. The Gambler who wakes up later will continue to wander in the opera house, pulling people to continue gambling according to certain specific conditions."

"If the Gambler wakes up first, then the God of Wealth, who is still sleeping, has a probability of being pulled into a new gambling game by it again to continue gambling, just like those makeup artists who died in Russian Roulette... well, it's just a probability."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe couldn't be sure whether the God of Wealth, who had just finished a gambling game, would be pulled into another gambling game immediately. The Gambler's rules were not yet clear, and there were still many unknown places.

Another more troublesome situation is that the God of Wealth and the Gambler wake up together and then get stuck there, but Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe thinks the probability of this happening is not high, and no matter which of the above situations actually happens, one thing is certain, that is, the Gambler is probably still in the opera house.

Must find it... Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's peripheral vision silently swept across the edge of the dance floor. A red-clothed figure with pale skin and no facial features stood quietly there, two slender hands folded on her lower abdomen. The quiet appearance looked inexplicably aggrieved, and she seemed to be silently looking at something or someone in a certain place. Since the almanac was won by the Gambler, she had always had this expression.

... No, this guy doesn't even have facial features, her face is a blank sheet of paper, how can she have an expression?

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart. A vague figure seemed to flash quietly from the corner of his vision, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. This was a very familiar feeling.

The feeling of 'inspiration' being triggered.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned his head abruptly, his whole body subconsciously tensed up. He saw that in the center of the empty dance floor, under the dim light, a straight figure stood quietly, shrouded in a robe. The hood where facial features couldn't be seen was pitch-black. He just stood there silently, appearing behind Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe without warning, like an evil ghost crawling out of the darkness.

The moment he turned his head, a black shadow flashed past the dance floor paved with tempered glass. The next moment, the black-robed man's head left his body, rolling on the ground like a ball. Blood sprayed out like a fountain from the cross-section of his neck. The man's body collapsed, and a bright red blood stain spread on the ground.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe lifted his skirt with both hands and approached the pool of blood. The leather boots belonging to Van Dyke on his feet had switched to the crystal sandals that Feng Yushu usually liked to wear. He habitually gathered his skirt and squatted down halfway, keeping alert and preparing to check the corpse. But the action of 'squatting down' had not yet been completed, and the pool of blood in front of him had already disappeared.

As if the game's operation had a lag, the character model that existed here in the previous frame disappeared in the next frame. There was no time to react at all. The head that rolled to the ground, along with his body, disappeared into thin air in front of Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, and the center of the dance floor became empty again.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe reached out and touched the ground. The tempered glass brought a cold and hard touch to his palm. The glass surface was still dry, as if it had never been splashed with someone's blood.

"Disappeared?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe frowned slightly and stood up. He Nianjun, wearing a red wedding dress, was still standing at the edge of the dance floor. Behind her was the empty auditorium, and the dim light flickered.

Under the light, the auditorium was empty, not even a dead person.

Those corpses that died in the Russian Roulette game were gone.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heartbeat slowed down involuntarily: "Are you kidding me...?"

He hurriedly closed his eyes, and 'Te Rang's' senses spread across the entire opera house. However, the feedback information made the chill in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's heart deepen—there was not even a shadow of a living person in the entire Saint-Golia Opera House.

At the edge of the dance floor, the young girl in the red wedding dress was still standing there, her face without facial features was just a blank sheet of paper.
