Chapter : 66 | END OF GOOD |

---

Vincenzo stands up and puts his hand on his hair.

(vincenzo) - We both have the same possibilities!

Vincenzo thought to himself, "Since a card can only be used one time, I have two types of cards: platinum and silver. I've used all my gold cards, and similarly, Jebi has used his platinum cards, so he only has a gold card left.

In this case, Jebi shows one side of the lenticular card as a silver card, so he might want me to think that the other side of the lenticular card is a gold card. But the other side could also be a silver card too! Basically, I have no way to understand what card he truly has! There is also another thing to consider: if Jebi has gold and silver cards and shows one side of the lenticular card as a silver card, wouldn't the silver card be valid? It's not valid because there is a possibility that the silver card shown on one side of the lenticular card was actually used in a previous round. Since a card can only be used one time, this rule makes the silver card invalid. This way, this card is just acting as a cover."

Jebi thought to himself, "Now let's think about why the writer allowed us to enter the Devil's House with a lenticular card."

Before the round began:

Jebi asked the writer, "Can we enter the Devil's House with lenticular cards?"

The writer replied, "You see, I am not the one who made these rules. I only added one new rule, which is not to enter the Devil's House with two separate cards. If you only enter with a lenticular card, it doesn't violate my new rule. But if UOF doesn't allow it, there's nothing I can do."

Jebi thought to himself, "So I only have to fool the UOF! Piece of cake, after all, it doesn't violate any rules!"

At present:

Jebi also stood up.

He goes in front of Vincenzo.

(jebi) - I have an offer for you. How about you give up and let me be the winner? If you do that, I promise you won't be killed!

(vincenzo) - I can offer you the same thing!

(jebi) - Looks like you really want to die!

Suddenly, Jebi's eye bandage falls to the ground. The eye bandage is just a piece of cloth.

Jebi uses his hand to cover his eyes.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

(jebi) - Can you give me the bandage, please?

Vincenzo sits down to grab the bandage. After he grabs it and moves to stand up...

Jebi said, "You have a platinum card, don't you?"

After hearing this, Vincenzo is entirely shocked. His heart is beating faster, but he can't express his shock because it could be a bluff.

It is entirely possible that Jebi wants to read his face.

Vincenzo stands up. While giving the bandage, he says, "Then answer it; you can't read me!"

Jebi touches his hand but immediately apologizes, saying, "Sorry, my vision is a little blurry!"

(vincenzo) - It's okay!

Vincenzo sits at the table and says to Jebi, "So why do you think I have a platinum card?"

(jebi) - It was just a bluff!

The light in the Devil's House turns off!

(vincenzo) - Jebi, don't move. If I break the machines while moving randomly, it will be a problem!

Jebi replied, "I understand."

The light returns again in 50 seconds.

(jebi) - What the hell just happened?

(vincenzo) - I don't know, probably a shortage of electricity!

(jebi) - Anyway, I am going to answer now.

(vincenzo) - Since we have to rely on luck, it's better to place the answer right now.

Vincenzo thought to himself, "I know that you have a gold card! My plan is perfect. I knew that Jebi's hearing ability is weak, so I decided to take advantage of it! The cards are placed on the left side of the table. In the fourth round, when Jebi lost his left eye, it was a huge advantage for me! I actually considered that Jebi might have already used a lenticular card because he obviously would have thought about how did I win the fourth round? There's no way he didn't see my card in the fourth round! He surely saw it, but he didn't think of it as a strategy. When I came here, I already told my teammates: when I put my hand in my hair, five minutes after this event, turn off the lights in Devil's House! I told them to keep the light off for 50 seconds. When the light is off, neither of us would be able to see anything! But my lenticular card has photoluminescent material in it! Because of this material, the card will be able to shine! It will work as a small light. The light won't be very bright, but it is sufficient enough to see which card Jebi has! Since his hearing isn't good, he can't hear my footsteps! At least not when he is very weak and tired! So, I just need to go there, change the direction of the card, and see which card he has! He can't see the light because he doesn't have a left eye, so the left side is his blind spot! After I see which card Jebi has, I only need to change the direction back to the same as before! This is a very risky yet very good plan!"

Both placed their answers.

Arnold said through the mic, "The doors of Devil's House are open, please come outside!"

Both Jebi and Vincenzo came outside of Devil's House.

(jebi) - Tell us the results. Who won?

(vincenzo) - Isn't it obvious right now? It's me!

Vincenzo explained his plans to Jebi.

(vincenzo) - There's another possibility; it can be a draw if only you luckily answered the right card of mine!

Jebi covers his face with both hands. He falls to the ground in despair.

(jebi) - How did it happen?

Arnold said, "The winner is Mister Jebi (+10)."

Vincenzo thought to himself, "What the hell is this? How can it happen? How did he win? Even if I consider that he guessed the right card of mine, how did I guess the wrong card of his? I am sure I saw his card!"

Jebi is laughing while hiding his face.

Jebi stands up and says, "As I said earlier, you can't win!"

(vincenzo) - That doesn’t matter, does it? We are not going to give you the card!

(jebi) - Do you think the writer is going to allow that?

(writer) - My only duty is to make sure that no one cheats! I make the game fair; this is my duty, and I am sure that I did it!

Jebi's face turns serious.

On the 4th floor of Devil's House:

Arnold's men are stopping a man, a Japanese man. That man said, "Don't you dare stop me! I am one of the top men of Vincenzo! His life is in danger; I need to save him."

Arnold's men said, "How do we believe you?"

The Japanese man said, "You want proof? Just let me talk with the boss!"

One of Arnold's men said to him, "Do you have any kind of proof that shows you are connected to Mister Vincenzo?"

The Japanese man replied, "Wait, wait, I have!"

He shows a badge. This badge is only for the top members of the Yakuza gang!

The Japanese man said, "Dammit, now let me go!"

On the 27th Floor:

(jebi) - Hey, it's not fair!

Vincenzo again put his hand on his hair.

(vincenzo) - Everything is fair in love and war!

Jebi thought to himself, "What took him so long?"

Suddenly, a voice could be heard!

It's the voice of that Japanese man.

He said, "Sir! He has a bomb on his body! He is intending to kill all of us!"

Vincenzo thought, "What bomb? Could it—"

Suddenly, a big explosion happened!

Everything turns into ashes except Jebi and Vincenzo!

The writer protected them.

The writer teleported them into a green paddy field!
