Chapter 3 Since you are pursuing excitement, then follow through to the end
“2~3!”
“4~”
“5~6!”
After two rounds, the goddess paused slightly and frowned.
“7~8?”
"9!"
“10…”
Three rounds later, as soon as the goddess opened her mouth, she immediately changed her words.
“Wait a minute…10~11…”
“12!”
By the fifth round, the goddess's silence was obviously prolonged for a long time.
“…13…”
“14~15!”
Lorne still spoke without thinking, his expression became more and more relaxed, and he even had the leisure to take in the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the goddess who was originally calm and composed had a somewhat frozen face and did not speak for a long time.
Lorne's eyes glanced around, then fell on the nameless goddess in front of him, urging him leisurely.
“It's your turn, haven't you thought about it yet?”
The goddess bit her red lips under the veil and looked a little unhappy.
“It's really despicable.”
“I prefer to call it [human wisdom].”
Lorne spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face.
"It is an unfair gamble for humans and gods to play. If the weaker party wants to win, it is understandable to use some brains, right?"
Soon, Lorne changed the subject and spoke calmly.
“And it seems that you voluntarily bet with me.”
“Wisdom? What a nostalgic word.”
The goddess didn't know what she thought of. She shook her head in thought, took a deep look at Lorne opposite, then threw down the dice in her hand and patted her palms with a smile.
“Well, you win.”
After the dust settled, the extremely tight string in Lorne's mind finally relaxed, and a trace of joy could not help but appear in the depths of his eyes.
She actually noticed something was wrong when she was counting to the fifth round. The sensitivity of the goddess in front of her was self-evident.
Fortunately, this is a bet that I will definitely win from the beginning.
The corners of Lorne's lips raised, outlining a trace of pleasure, as he recalled the bet just now.
This so-called fair game is not fair at all.
As long as you let the other party report the number first, and ensure that the other party reports 1 number, you will report 2 numbers; if the other party reports 2 numbers, you will report 1 number, then the last 30 will definitely belong to you.
So, from the moment the other party agreed to report the number first, the outcome was already doomed.
There is no way Lorne will lose this game.
Of course, in a sense, the opportunities are equal for both parties.
As long as you can understand the rules before the game and don't count the numbers first, victory will also belong to the other side.
But the goddess obviously did not realize this in advance, and she casually agreed to the conditions and fell straight into the pit, which ultimately led to her own failure.
The reason why she lost was not because of the so-called weakness and ignorance.
On the contrary, what hinders her is the arrogance bred by strength.
However, having said that, being able to successfully lead the opposite person into the pit is not all his own fault.
Lorne's face turned dark and gloomy at this time, and he even started to gnash his teeth.
I have to thank your eight generations of ancestors for this.
—Back then, at the intersection after school, the old man setting up a stall robbed me of a total of 100 yuan of new year's money.
That was the first lesson for him to realize the dangers of society, and it gave him a profound understanding of the truth that pie in the sky will never fall and nine out of ten gambles will be cheated.
However, by the time I realized this, it was already a few days later.
And this lesson bought with blood and tears will naturally be remembered by him to this day.
“As agreed, congratulations on your new life, little one…”
The leisurely murmur interrupted Lorne's thoughts. The goddess gently waved her bare hands, forming swirling dark clouds in the dark sky.
Looking up, Lorne seemed to see the sparkling water through the chaos.
In the age of the Greek gods, Hades was under the earth and the deep sea.
The sea is covered with mist, and the morning sunlight shines through the hazy layers on the water, reflecting a small outline.
The road to life is close at hand.
The nameless goddess who fulfilled her promise also changed from reality to reality, and the desolate world gradually flickered and flickered like a candle.
Everything seems to have settled.
But, is it really that simple?
Lorne thought of the thunder that penetrated the sky, and thought of those cold and ruthless eyes.
What can you do if you save a life from near death?
Whether it is the boundless sea now or Zeus who suddenly turned against him before, without any help, even if he was lucky enough to escape, he would probably not survive more than three episodes.
Even, it is still unclear whether he can get out of the resurrection point.
You won't let me live, right? Then everyone should say goodbye!
The figure in the darkness, somewhere between reality and reality, grinned like a devil grinning.
“I can give you my soul, do you want it?”
The sudden temptation suddenly stabilized the stage that was about to draw its final curtain.
The goddess turned back and raised her eyebrows with interest.
“So, what's the price?”
“Bet with me again!”
Similar conversations are uttered from opposite people, and there is a sense of time and space dislocation.
The goddess was stunned for a moment, then laughed playfully.
“Isn't it just another little trick with readings?”
"how could be."
Lorne's eyes flickered faintly, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face immersed in darkness.
“Both dice rolling and reading are too boring. Let's use the big one this time. How about we use the entire [world] as a gambling table?”
“Oh? Come and listen.”
Suddenly, the goddess's eyes lit up and she became very interested. Lorne looked up at the skylight above his head that was refracted into the deep sea. A sinister smile appeared on his face that was changing in reality, and at the same time he spoke word by word.
“Just bet on whether I can overthrow Olympus!”
Originally, he had no ambitions and just wanted to be a normal person and sleep peacefully, but his fate did not allow it.
In this case, don't blame me for flipping the table.
The goddess frowned and looked up with a half-smile.
“How do I place a bet? Do I want to bet that you lose?”
She neither refused nor agreed.
“Since you are pursuing excitement, you should follow through to the end, so of course you should choose the one with the highest odds. Only high risks can lead to high returns.”
Lorne replied matter-of-factly, his low tone exuding full temptation.
"Let me make the dice, and you just need to throw it lightly, and you may be able to profit a thousand times. Is there a more exciting game in the world than this?"
In an instant, the goddess's breathing became visibly faster, and her figure became a little erratic.
Obviously, she was moved.
But soon, the goddess woke up and narrowed her eyes.
“You want me to help you?”
“It's just a [game]…”
Lorne smiled noncommittally, his eyes twinkling.
"interesting…"
The goddess's eyes became more playful and her tone was meaningful.
I don't know if I am evaluating the soul in front of me or the so-called game.
But then, the goddess looked towards the opposite side, hummed softly and spoke.
“But after all, it seems that the soul you promised is still not in my hands?”
"Don't worry, you have to wait until I'm dead if you want to get the reward? There's no point in crushing the dice before the game starts."
Lorne smiled happily, his eyes meaningful.
“And while I'm alive, won't I be able to provide you with a steady stream of fun?
There are only two endings. I lose and you get the soul.
If I win, you get more, no matter how you calculate, you won't lose.
What's more, for the game itself, the announcement of winning and losing is interesting, but the process of fighting is not a kind of enjoyment? goddess…"
“I have to say, you do have the potential to confuse people...”
The goddess looked deeply at the soul in front of her, raised the corners of her lips, and pointed her green-white fingertips on the changing chest.
“But it doesn't matter, I'm just playing a game. So, here's the certificate and seal, and let the fun begin.”
In an instant, a strange burning feeling filled Lorne's soul.
In an instant, a circle made of black lines appeared on his chest.
From a bird's eye view, it looks like a circular labyrinth surrounding a spiral, with endless roads and infinite mystery.
But in Lorne's opinion, this thing on his body is more like a quarantine certificate for a piece of pork.
Moreover, it is the kind that is booked in advance by buyers...
It really leaves no room at all.
Perceiving the connection he had established with the goddess in front of him, Lorne sighed secretly.
Fortunately, after this ring-shaped black mark outlined a complete outline, it quickly disappeared again, as if it had never existed.
Successfully sent himself to the vegetable market and sold it at a good price, but the good news is that at least he didn't have to sell it immediately.
The situation is stronger than the person, and Lorne can only comfort himself in his heart, dumbfounded.
“Then, the game begins!”
The goddess snapped her fingers happily, the swirling clouds in the sky turned upside down, and a strange pulling feeling lingered around Lorne.
As the illusory body gradually faded and disappeared little by little into the dim world, Lorne's hanging heart finally landed smoothly.
This resurrection match was finally won.
“Then what shall I call you, Your Highness?”
"you can call me…"
The goddess' eyes flashed and the corners of her lips raised.
…Persephone…”
The Queen of Hades?
Lorne looked deeply at the sworn goddess and snorted secretly.
Hehe, the Queen of Hades is not bold enough to **** people from Zeus...
Of course, I'm afraid she doesn't have the ability either.
By the way, in different mythological records, some say that Dionysus, the **** of wine, was the son of God King Zeus and Queen Persephone in his previous life.
So, by giving this name, are you sure you are not trying to take advantage of me?
Lorne secretly cursed, the long-suppressed sleepiness and exhaustion gradually came over him, making his eyelids heavier and heavier, and the world began to turn upside down.
“Since it's my dice, roll different numbers to make this boring world more interesting!”
The murmur came from nowhere, and a twelve-sided dice carved from serpentine fell from the palm of the goddess.
In the wilderness, the glossy lip line under the veil outlines a shallow arc.
Dangerous and beautiful.
“Don't die too early...”
Boom!
Dark clouds gathered in the real sky, lightning flashed through, and dozens of spiral wind pillars rose into the sky and fell into the sea, stirring up waves.
A storm at sea is coming.
In the dark sea, a simple floating board carried a small body up and down, like a reed carrying ants on the water, and was in danger of capsizing at any time.
But in the end, the rolling waves rushed them to a dark floating island before the storm came.
The baby carried on the floating board fell onto the soft sand like a beached fish.
Accompanied by the sound of rustling footsteps, a tall figure approached through the woods.
Wearing clothes...walking upright...
Seems to be a person…
The identity of the visitor was vaguely confirmed, and there was generally no hostility. Due to the dual psychological and physical limits, Lorne could no longer hold on and completely fainted.
At the same time, a light and pleasant female voice sounded faintly in his ears.
“Aha? Look what I found? A cute little piglet!”
On the fine beach, an eagle-winged girl with pointed ears, long pink hair, and rainbow-like pupils looked at today's harvest and cheered excitedly.
