#585 - Mahjong and Poker
Gao Yi finally realized that he had overlooked something.
His previous judgment was not wrong. That ability to control emotions did come from the blessing of the "Outer Gods".
This idea was previously considered untenable by Gao Yi because through his observation of Magana, he concluded that she was unaware of the changes in the "Ripple Masquerade".
If the spokesperson for the [dealer] was unaware of what was happening, then the “effects” suffered by the guests in the ballroom should have nothing to do with the “outer gods”.
This logic seems to be fine, but in the gap between the two true propositions, Gao Yi ignores the difference between universal propositions and existential propositions.
Yes, Magana is the representative of the [Dealer] and has indeed received the gift of the “Outer Gods”.
But this does not mean that she is the spokesperson of the "Outer Gods", or that she understands and controls all the forces of the "Outer Gods".
Just like the Guandong coalition that fought against Dong Zhuo, each prince had his own power; and like the rebels under Horus, they also had different pursuits and beliefs.
Even if they all believe in the "Outer Gods", their followers are not united.
How could I overlook this...
In fact, the relevant clues had already appeared in front of Gao Yi.
The answer is actually very simple.
[Dealer] The "poker" forces on the "Investigation Bureau" side, and the "mahjong" forces under the "leader", although both have received blessings from the "outer gods", the relationship between the two is actually not very close.
It can even be said that there is a considerable gap.
In the "Nankang Evening News Building" incident, the "leader" also borrowed some criminals from the "Investigation Bureau" to do the work.
The failure of the ceremony and the death of the "leader" must have caused the two factions of mahjong and poker to become increasingly hostile to each other.
Even if they still maintain a common belief and source of strength, differences and even contradictions begin to emerge.
Regarding this point, I actually already had a clue when communicating with "C" before.
[She can do it, she can do it, the poker side is no problem...]
This is what the killer said when asked whether he would accept the mission to attack Magana.
After figuring this out, Gao Yi's other previous doubt was also resolved.
Why were the people sent by the "Alphabet" being surrounded and hunted down by the "Investigation Bureau"?
The person in charge is obviously "Professor Mo", who also believes in "Outer Gods".
Now it seems that "Professor Mo" should be a "mahjong" person, and he is not from the same faction as Ma Jianai and the [dealer].
After all this time, this is not an external conflict, but an internal struggle...
And if I understand what "C" said, the last sentence about Magana becomes understandable.
[It seems like someone wants to do something to that woman tonight...]
Whatever happened within the Outer Gods camp, relations between them had already deteriorated.
At this point, the "Poker" team is willing to spend a lot of resources to encircle and suppress the two "Mahjong" members.
On the other hand, the "Mahjong" people directly chose to carry out an assassination.
An assassination attempt on Magana.
Although it is not clear where the ability to arouse people's emotions comes from.
But the results are obvious.
In less than a minute, a dozen heads exploded in the dance hall and a dozen mahjong tiles popped out.
"What on earth is going on......"
Zheng Qiqing beside him was already terrified and unconsciously grabbed Gao Yi's right arm, as if he wanted to gain some sense of security from [Investigator-Yang].
"C" in the distance had retreated far back, looking very disgusted with the blood plasma feast in the ballroom.
As a killer, he doesn't like this kind of scene...
What deserves more attention is, of course, Magana.
She was obviously aware of the situation and knew it was directed at her.
But at this time, she did not dare to act rashly, and just asked the remaining ten poker-faced guards to be on high alert.
The organizer, whom Gao Yi had placed high hopes on, showed no reaction at all.
Looking up at the podium, the host had no intention of taking any action. Although he looked a little distressed, he had no intention of intervening.
In other words, she didn't know how to solve the current situation.
Behind it, the musicians were oblivious to the current situation, and "Bolero" entered the next section.
The addition of the trombone brings the music to another climax.
Those guests who were still dancing had completely lost their minds.
They carried the bodies of those who had turned into mahjong, dancing in a twisted manner, and slowly moved towards Magana.
Taking a deep breath, Gao Yi took another look at his special task and the "Legendary Features" in the rewards column.
No, I still have to rely on myself...
