The two questions Masako asked next were neither very jumping nor taking unnecessary risks. She just approached the final answer step by step. After all... she was not in a hurry.

Therefore, after the two questions, Masako only determined that the answer written by Sakai "yes" a book and "yes" an ancient book; if nothing unexpected happens, her next question will confirm in which language the original work of the book was written.

Unlike Masako's steady strategy, Kasuka took the initiative to walk to the brink of danger because he knew very well... Masako's answer was much harder to guess than his answer. If he asked a question with a normal logical chain, it would be impossible to guess the answer faster than the other party.

So, when Masako once again chose to "not shoot, let the other party ask a question", Suzu asked: "Is the word you wrote three words when it is expressed in Chinese?"

"Yes." Masako still seemed very calm when responding. After answering, she continued with a smile, "After confirming that it is a medical term, have you simply given up the general logical chain and start to conquer it from a textual perspective? Haha... Interesting, no one has tried this method before, and I want to see if this is really more efficient than 'normal questioning'."

"Then you wait and see." Suzu said, picking up the gun again, "Now, it's me." He said, pushing out the pistol's wheel, turning it back again, and quickly slapped it back before the wheel stopped, "I'll choose three."

Since he chose four in the previous round and observed that if he did not turn the chamber, there would be bullets in the next round, he could only choose three.

When he finished speaking, Suo had already aimed at his temple and pulled the trigger twice.

No bullets were shot out.

"It seems that the god of gambling has not abandoned me." As soon as Suo put down his gun, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up the food and ate it.

His hands were very stable, and his expression on his face was also relaxed, and there was no sign of any fear or tension.

In the whole room, the only one who sat behind him saw... The boy's legs trembling under the table were shaking.

"Go..." Seeing that Suzu "was not afraid much", Masako curled her lips unhappily and said, "That's really congratulations." She hesitated for a while before continuing, "I sincerely hope that the next shot of the wheel will still be an empty gun, otherwise the game will end hastily before you show your face."

"Then I'm afraid I'll let you down." Suo replied calmly, "The more you say this, the more I'd rather die than show panic and fear to satisfy you." He paused and continued, "Anyway, now that I've shot two shots have been fired, it's up to me to continue asking questions..." He obviously had already figured out what to ask, and said quickly, "Is the first word of the word you wrote pronunciation on the first line of the Chinese pinyin initial consonant?"

Masako's expression changed.

Suga's question was unprecedented in her, and she soon realized the power of this question...

In the 23rd century of this universe, Chinese and English have long become the global common language with a popularity rate of nearly 100%. Anyone with a formal education has learned the initial vowel table of Chinese pinyin.

However, for this kind of knowledge that cannot be more basic, most people maintain the level of "as long as you can see the table, you can recite every sound, but you cannot write it down when you cannot see it."

It can be said that Chinese Pinyin is not only the first thing people learn in the formal education system, but also the first thing people "return to the teacher"... Since there is almost no assessment of Pinyin after the first grade, this part of the content has become a very easy-to-be ignored existence that everyone knows and is easily overlooked.

At this moment, Suzu launched an offensive with this most basic thing.

Masako couldn't say that she didn't know what the initial consonant was, and she had no reason to refuse to answer.

"yes."

Unfortunately, Masako's answer is "sepsis". The initial consonant "b" with the first word "defeat" is exactly the first line of the initial consonant table.

To take a step back, even if her answer is not "sepsis", there are only three rows of the initial consonant table in the pinyin. Among them, each row is divided into two intervals, and there are three to four initial consonants in each interval... In other words, using the method of saka, at most three questions can be used to lock the answer to the range of three to four initial consonants.

"Then... the second question." After getting the answer, Suo immediately continued to ask, "Is the first word of the word you wrote, the beginning pronunciation of the first line of the Chinese pinyin consonant?"

"Yes." Masako could only answer truthfully.

In this way, through two questions, Saka narrowed the initial consonant range of that word to the four pronunciations "b, p, m, f".

Masako silently calculated the calculations in her heart. If Suka continued to ask this idea, the next question would lock the initial consonant "b", and then she would ask "since" and "that tone"; the final table was a little more complicated, but according to the principle of half-parting each time, the pronunciation of "ai" can be locked within three to five questions, which means that there are at most five questions, and Suka would know that the pronunciation of the first character is "bai".

At this time, Suo may not ask in the order of "first tone, second tone, third tone". Because under the conditions of "three words, medical terms, and the pinyin of the first character is bai", most people will immediately think of words such as "leukemia", "algesia", "white blood cells", "white coat" and other words, so he is likely to ask directly "Does this bai word make the second tone?"

The answer is not, at this time... I have just imagined several three-character vocabulary starting with "white blood". After being told that the pronunciation of "white" is wrong, I am very likely to immediately think of "septic blood" starting with the fourth tone, and then think of "septic blood".

To sum up, theoretically speaking, in extreme cases, Sakayama may directly guess the answer within seven questions; even if you estimate the optimistic point, Sakayama can definitely fully confirm the answer within ten questions. The first word is pronounced in the fourth tone. After confirming this word, any guessing word in the next word may directly hit the answer.

Unlike the logical deduction method, the idea of ​​"guessing the entire word through definition" is different, the guessing method of using pinyin to approach the answer is to uncover the literals of each word one by one to explore the answer, which completely bypasses various traps and knowledge blind spots in the logical deduction method, and can ensure that each question must have some meaning and progress.

This is almost an unstoppable method. It is like when guessing an English word, someone uses the question method like "Is the first letter a?" to find out what each letter in the word is one by one, and finally spell out the answer; those who use this method do not even need to understand the meaning of the word, and can guess correctly... However, depending on the question method, this method can also be fast and slow.

Taking guessing English letters as an example, the stupidest way to guess is to guess from a to z, which requires guessing at most 25 times, but if you start with guessing "Is this before or after m", it will save you a lot of trouble; the one used when guessing pinyin in Suga is undoubtedly a more efficient method.

This is also the first time Masako has felt the pressure of being chased by someone in this "Guess the Word Roulette".

"It looks a bit subtle." Suzuka was also a top gambler after all. He noticed the slightest muscle trembling on Masako's face at a glance. "According to this trend, is the initial consonant of your first word "b"?

"Who allowed you to ask the third question in succession?" Masako seemed a little unhappy.

"Anyway, you're going to continue to choose the second one, right?" Suzu began to provoke his opponent, trying to let the opponent reveal his flaws.

Masako looked at the gun on the table and continued, "Yes... I'd better choose the second one."

"Then let's answer my third question." Suka further pressed with a proud look.

"Yes." Masako's response was concise and she didn't say anything anymore because she began to worry about showing her flaws.

"Yeah." Sakaya nodded, "It's my turn." He picked up the gun again, "I'll choose four more."

After saying that, he pushed out the pistol's wheel again, confirmed the position of the bullet, and loaded the wheel back intact.

At this moment, Solid, who was sitting behind the snake, couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "Why do he still choose the fourth? Judging from the question, he should be a little ahead. As long as he keeps like this and keeps choosing the second with the other party, he can press his opponent with zero risk... But choosing the fourth is equivalent to sending the other party two questions first. Next, it depends on how lucky he is. If the bullet is in the next round, he has to choose three to bet on his life."

Solid's idea is correct. Logically speaking, Suzu has been choosing two since this round, and he has the chance to win without shooting himself in the head, while choosing four has a high chance of losing.

In fact, when Juan opened the wheel to check, he confirmed that... the next shot will really fire; that is to say, when it is his turn next time, he has to choose three again.

"Huh... I've escaped another disaster." On the other side, when Shizuo saw the bullet, he showed a relieved expression. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to Masako, "Come on, you can ask two more questions."

But Masako did not rush to ask a question, but laughed and said, "What? From this, you have to choose three more in the next round?"

"Yes, who made the next shot happen to have a bullet?" Suzu told the other party the real information.

"Hmph..." Masako snorted coldly and continued, "That's it... Then I can only pray from the bottom of my heart that you will encounter two empty guns in a row after the next turn, otherwise I will not be able to continue to enjoy the tension I have never experienced before."

For some reason, after hearing this, Suo laughed loudly and slapped the table with a smile.

Seeing this, Masako showed some anger: "Is there anything funny?"

"Yes." Suzuka continued, "but I won't tell you, can we continue the game?"

Masako angrily drank a drink, as if she was calming the nameless fire. Then she asked two questions, narrowing the scope of the book written by Sakai to "Chinese works" and "before the Sui and Tang Dynasties."

Although she was actually approaching the answer, she was still at a disadvantage compared to Shoka's method.

Fortunately, in Masako's eyes, this is no longer a problem, because she is very confident that Suka will die in the next round.

A few seconds later, after answering two questions, Suzuka picked up the gun, quickly "turned the chamber", and once again pointed the muzzle at his temple: "Then, as you can see, I will choose three in this round..."

That's it, but he didn't shoot.

"Ha...why? Are you scared?" Masako thought that the moment she had been waiting for for a long time had come, "If you are afraid, don't hold on. It's nothing wrong with showing your nature."

But Suzu responded slowly: "Before shooting, I have a few more words to say."

"Is it because I feel like I'm dying, so I want to leave a last word?" Masako smiled, "Yes, I'm right."

Unexpectedly, the next sentence after Sakayama put down his gun was: "Actually, with your ability, if you suggested playing some games that were purely competitive with me, such as roulette, you would have won it quickly... But you were too proud and insisted on playing with me such things that slowly push the other party into a desperate situation. If you want to see my ugly appearance and prove that... I am just a mediocre gambler."

"What are you talking about?" Masako responded calmly, "Are you suggesting...I cheated with my superpower?"

"This is not an hint, but an explanation." Suzuka continued.

"Oh?" Masako raised one leg, as if she didn't believe it, "Then I want to hear how you made something out of nothing."

She is confident that her tricks will never be seen through.

"Your ability is to 'use a specific language to make certain bad things that have a certain chance of happening 100%', to put it simply... the crow's mouth." Suzuka continued.

Masako's confidence was shattered so quickly that she had never expected it.

"To put it more specifically, whenever you use the sentence pattern of 'sincerity... otherwise', the part of the content of these two words will inevitably fail as long as there is a chance of failure." Suzu did not care about the other party's reaction, but just continued on his own, "I am not sure if your ability is 'as long as you use such a sentence pattern, you will definitely start', or you need to 'take the initiative, but you must use this sentence pattern when starting', but what I can be sure of is... So far, in this word guessing roulette, you have used this ability three times in total."

Suzu stretched out his first finger and said, "The first time was when I first chose the 'four'. At that time, you didn't think I would pose any threat to you, but you didn't want me to gain too much advantage in the next few rounds by observing the position of the bullet. So you said you 're sincerely expect the bullets in the wheel to be more than three shots away'. As a result, I opened it and saw that the bullet was next."

He stretched out his second finger: "The second time, after I chose three; seeing that I didn't even kill two shots at the forehead, and did not show the embarrassment you expected, you felt... I am probably the kind of person who would not panic even if I shot myself. So you lost motivation to the spirit that crushed me, and hoped to get rid of me as soon as possible, so you said, "I sincerely hope that the next shot of the wheel will still be an empty gun," so... If I choose another one, I will just hang up."

Finally, Shizuo stretched out his third finger: "The third time, just now, when I was ahead of you in the progress of the question and chose four again, you felt the crisis of defeat in this game for the first time. At this time, you couldn't care about so much. You just tried to kill me with the sentence "I sincerely hope that I could encounter two empty guns in a row after the next turn" to try to kill me in the round when I was forced to choose three."

At this point, he paused for a few seconds and said, "Actually, when you spoke in this sentence for the second time, I felt a little strange. Combined with the process of the game, I was already suspicious that you used some kind of supernatural power... The purpose of my second choice of fourth is to further test your abilities, otherwise it would be fine if I learned from that round that you kept choosing second.

"You asked me just now what was funny? I laughed... After I finished choosing the fourth, you immediately said that sentence for the third time, allowing me to completely determine what your abilities are, that's all."

Slap

Masako began to applaud Shizuo, of course, it was not a slight encouragement.

Masako's smile, during the narration of Suzu... came back, and the cold smile seemed particularly frightening on her girlish face. "Suka, the story is well told, but it's a pity... you have no evidence."

"Yeah." Su Chang tilted his head and spread his hands, "This is also the trickiest part of your ability... Even if you cheat with it openly, no one can prove anything."

"Then what should you do now?" Masako's tone was like a kindergarten teacher educating a three-year-old child.

"Ha... I understand, it's clear." Jue smiled bitterly, and once again pressed his gun against his temple.

This is what happened at the gambling table. If you can't come up with evidence, you are farting, making trouble, and cheating...

A gambler like Jue can lose, but he cannot lose decently, so he should shoot, but he still has to shoot.

Click

The first shot didn't sound.

But there is a second shot.

Bang

Sure enough, the gun fired.

There is no illusion, and blood splatters on the spot.
