Chapter 174: We're Doing It Today?

"All right! This is the last time! All in!" I shouted.

"Me too!" Oleg did the same as me.

We played for a long time. Since this is a new game we ever played, we take interest in this game. We have played many rounds despite the winner is decided by the last man standing and it takes too long for one person to leave the table.

Somehow, Oleg and I have the same numbers of wins. Three each.

As for Hill, he has only one win while Kron has two wins. I don't know how he did it despite his naivety. I guess his naivety only works in one subject.

As for me and Oleg, this makes the fifth time that we are the last two in all ten matches. Victoria just smiling there and see how the game going as the dealer.

We didn't actually gamble with money. We just continued using matchsticks to play as substitutes for chips. But this is too much entertaining. Kron and Hill also like to watch the game even after they have lost all their chips.

On the table, five cards already drawn. Five of clubs, two of clubs, two of diamonds, queen of heart, and nine of spades.

What I have are queen of spades and queen of diamonds. Which means I have a full house with three queens and two twos.

I don't know why Oleg is so confident with his hand that he called All-in as well, but his hand shouldn't be better than me. Although I didn't use my Divine Vision ability, I'm quite sure of it.

"Roy. Together?"

"Alright. Together."

Our cards are laying face down in front of us. When we received our cards, we no longer took it with our hands anymore. We just let it stay face down on the table and peek at the cards we have.

If I win, the match will still continue since Oleg has more matchsticks than me. But if Oleg win, that's the end of the match.

The two men, Kron and Hill, are glaring at our cards.

And then we flip both cards at the same time.

"I wo- FUUUU—"

"I won! Haha!"

My full house is losing against his four of a kind. Both card in his hands are two of hearts and two of spades. It's my loss. And I take it like a gentleman.

"How did you always get good cards! Are you cheating?! Victoria! You didn't secretly cheer for him to win, right? And purposely gave him good cards?"

"I actually cheered for Oleg to win. But I didn't give him good cards on purpose. Your luck is just as shitty as your memory."

"You still making a joke about my memory? I can memorize things better now!"

"Yeah, yeah. Except for people's names."

"I don't need to remember the names of people I might never meet again, right?"

"Roy. Take a loss like a gentleman, won't you?"

Hmm? I heard someone else spoke interrupting us. It was Angela. And the others were also here as well.

"You guys can't sleep? You should rest more."

"Roy. We have played all night and now it's almost lunch time already. They are all oversleep while we didn't get any sleep at all." Victoria said.

I looked outside the window and I was shocked to see that the sun is already up.

"Holy shit! When did the sun rise that high? How long have we been playing?"

"A little less than twelve hour." Victoria replied calmly.

"Oh no! My wife will be angry if she didn't see me at home! I'm going home now! See you later!" Oleg leaves the hotel. He is going home.

"I guess I'll check how the prisoners doing." Hill also leaves.

"I'm going to bed. Good night." Kron is going to sleep.

"I guess I should sleep as well."

"No, you don't! We're making a plan for Shirley's speech today. Did you forget already?" Angela asked.

"Well, I thought after the festival, you want people to rest first. Are you really planning to have it done today?" I asked Shirley.

"Yes. We'll do it in the afternoon. You will say what we prepared by using Luiz's voice." Shirley replied.

I guess I won't get to sleep until we planned everything.

Now the dining hall is full of people who have just woken up. Since all of us missed breakfast, we had an early lunch right now.

After finishing our meals, we continued our discussion.

"So, we will have Shirley, and several other agents will be her guards. Of course Roy is included. He will be the one who carried Luiz to the stage. Roy, you will stand behind the tied Luiz and speak everything with his voice. And… even though you cut his tongue, he might still be able to let out some yell. Does anyone have any idea how to stop it?" It was Ms. Wendy who lead the discussion.

"Me! How about not letting any air come out of his mouth? Roy should be able to do that." Victoria suggested.

"Me? I don't know about that. I can make him breathe in less air, but I don't know about not letting any air come out of his mouth."

"Then practice!"

I guess I should be able to do it if Victoria say so. Any ideas that come out from her, were originally from her world where technology and knowledge about air, human body, medical, and many other things are more advanced than this world.

She has helped me with realizing what air element can do other than just making me able to breathe anywhere. Some of her teachings are still either I can't understand it yet, or I need to achieve higher level of air element to be able to do it. Like how I should be able to step on air.

Someone volunteered to be used as a practice target. It's one of the agents. I told him to keep talking or singing whatever he wants. Then I'll try to stop air to come out from his mouth while making sure that he's still able to breathe.

Thanks to his terrible singing voice, I can finally do it in less than fifteen minutes. But that means we have to listen to him singing for fifteen minutes. His voice is so terrible that I feel the urgency to stop him from singing.

At first the others want me to change the target practice, but Victoria and Kayla agreed that if I want to learn this faster, I need to have some kind of motivation. And the motivation they gave me is to stop him from singing.

"Finally, I did it! Now you need to stop singing!"

Maybe having a guinea pigs for experiments will help me understand what Victoria is teaching me about. Like Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and probably many other -gens that I don't understand yet.

I will need a lab for that. And for experiment, I guess I'll kidnap some cult members and use them. I can also ask Hill, Oleg, or even Albert to give me some prisoners with death sentence.

"Good. Now what about his mouth movements? It might be too far from the people to see if his mouth is moving or not when you talk, but we still need to be careful of that." Ms. Wendy asked.

"I'll take care of that. Just put me inside his mouth and I'll handle the rest." Victoria replied.

For someone to voluntarily entering someone's mouth… she's so brave.

"Now that's taken care of. Next is the watch guard. There might be some other members of the cult hiding in this city or just entered it today to see what's going on and why is the city not destroyed yet. The agents and guards will be spread and hide among the people to check if someone is suspicious. Roy will be busy doing some voice acting so he won't be able to cover everything with his eyes. And we can't just leave everything to him! We need to get some works done as well!" Ms. Wendy said.

…that's the words I wanted to hear the most. 'we can't just leave everything to Roy' is something that I needed to hear. After getting Albert involved, instead of be free from the difficult stuffs, I was put into a more difficult stuffs and have to take care of everything just because of my memories of my previous life and my Aura ability.

Now I heard that words from the teacher I admired in my previous life. I LOVE YOU!

I already have girlfriends, but if by any chance you want to join my harem, I will gladly accept you. Not that I will tell this to anyone. But I think everyone already know about it.

"Now about what you need to say in front of everyone. It must include the goal of the cult, the reason why they planned to destroy the city, and anything we can use to make people blame the cult." Ms. Wendy said.

"And we can't say anything about the name of the cult. Since we don't know its real name and none of the members will say anything about it as well. Saying things like Evil God Cult must be done by Shirley herself. Maybe just something like Evil Cult." Kayla added.

"Hmm? Didn't Veronica tell us that the name of the cult is… what was it again?" I forget about it.

"You mean True God Cult? That's something we can't say to the people. In case someone ended up believing the name, they will try to join the cult instead." Kayla said.

She's smart as usual. If I played Hold 'em Poker against her, I would end up losing many times. Maybe.

We heard from Veronica about the real name of the cult and we don't like it. Evil God Cult is better since we want to makes them our enemies.

And so, we prepared a script or me to memorize. It's so long so I guess I'll put this on Luiz's back under his shirt. Then I can see-through his shirt and read the text. It's easy!
