On Devil's House:
Jebi and Vincenzo are sitting in front of each other!
(vincenzo) - So, what are you going to do?
(jebi) - What do you mean by it?
(vincenzo) - I mean, you don't have any teammates now! So how do you intend to win?
(jebi) - That's my problem. You don't have to pay attention to this!
(vincenzo) - Yeah, you are right! It's only a matter of time for me to win! My teammates will contact me soon!
(jebi) - We will see that!
(vincenzo) - I am getting bored!! Why don't we talk about something interesting!
(jebi) - Something interesting?
(vincenzo) - Yeah, how about we talk about "that guy"?
(jebi) - "That guy"?
(vincenzo) - Yeah. I am referring to "Demon," that unknown guy who knows about the cards and even managed to corner you!
| Demon first mentioned in chapter 37 | Demon managed to corner Jebi in chapter 38 |

(jebi) - I remember it well. What of it?
(vincenzo) - That was you, wasn’t it? That unknown guy called "Demon" is actually you!
(jebi) - What makes you think that was me?
(vincenzo) - There are various reasons. Let me explain. Just think about it! Who will gain the most advantage by summoning you and me to the temple? It's obviously us! Both of us needed to begin our battle! If "Demon" hadn't summoned us back then, there is a possibility that we might still be trying to outsmart each other to find one another! But I know that I am not Demon. Then who else can be Demon? It's you! Another thing is there is no way that another person besides us knew about both the "Card and key." Arnold himself only knew about the "card"! And that "Demon" claimed that he knew about both the card and key!? I knew these facts immediately! But still, to make sure there is no other guy except you who knows about both the card and key, I told my men to search for Demon! After searching for "Demon" for many days, I realized what your actual plan is! Your real plan was to buy time! You made it look like "Demon" is smarter than you by making yourself cornered. You did that because this way, I would think the real danger isn't you but that guy "Demon" who doesn't even exist!
(jebi) - Whoa! You saw through everything! It's not so surprising considering it's you! There's no point in hiding anymore. Yes, that was me. I used recordings to make you believe that Demon exists. Looks like you saw through everything!
(vincenzo) - That doesn't matter, right? After all, you managed to buy time!
Suddenly, a little amount of smoke is entering Devil's House by the pipe which is used to water the plants.
Smoke is entering from the right corner of "J" Base!
(vincenzo) - Since it's coming from the right corner, that means you have a silver card. If you waited for some days to recover, you might not be defeated this pathetically!
Vincenzo thought to himself, "Something doesn't feel right. It's hard to believe that he didn't cast any strategy for this round. Didn't he plan anything? Could it be that this is a trap?"
(jebi) - You know my card, right? Then why don't you press it?
Vincenzo suddenly realizes something!
Vincenzo looks at the card on the table! It's the card's direction! Jebi's card is placed on the table in a certain position!
(jebi) - Ah...I really like your expression. The shock on your face is memorable!
Jebi chuckled.
(jebi) - You already found a great strategy for me! Last round, you used this technique, didn't you? This is how you were able to win the last round! I should have noticed the position of your card earlier! You are using a lenticular card to hide your original card, isn't that right, mister Vincenzo? This way, even if my teammate saw your card, there's no use for it! So the teammates outside are just useless! In the case of a lenticular card, the card they see from their "J" Base is the fake one! This is the same as the cover strategy but just a little advanced! It's not breaking any rules. The writer said we can't enter Devil's House with separate cards, but we didn't enter with separate cards; instead, we merged both cards!
| What is a lenticular card? Let me explain: A lenticular card is a printed card that uses lenticular printing technology to create images with an illusion of depth or motion. This is achieved by printing different images in narrow strips and overlaying them with a plastic lenticular lens. As the viewing angle changes, the lens directs light from different strips to the viewer's eyes, resulting in the appearance of movement, depth, or change in the image. Lenticular cards are often used for promotional materials, trading cards, postcards, and novelty items. |
(vincenzo) - Excellent! Now the teammates outside are just useless, so now our position in the game is the same!?
(jebi) - Indeed!
Vincenzo thought to himself, "It's not! I still have one ace!"
