The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

On the evening of New Year’s Eve, the streets were unprecedentedly quiet, the sky was getting dark, the shops were closed, and a few strings of red lanterns hung on the street lamps fluttered in the wind, making it look very lonely.

Occasionally, a group of children ran past holding a few firecrackers, only to be called back by their families.

When Du Ruoxian came home from get off work, the moment he opened the door, the aroma of the hot pot came over his face. Through the white mist, he saw five or six people crowded on the sofa in the living room, arguing with each other.

Two of them are still new faces.

Du Ruoying came out of the kitchen with a bowl of raw spinach: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." He glanced down at the shoe cabinet, knowing that his parents were not there, "Why didn't parents go back to China?"

"I can't come back due to the epidemic." Du Ruoying said, then turned and went into the kitchen, "Will, help me scoop up the soaked fans."

"Okay." William's voice came from the kitchen.

"What's the situation with them? They don't go home during Chinese New Year?" Du Ruoxian pointed to the living room.

"The epidemic, I can't go back." Du Ruoying put the raw beef and frozen tofu on the table again.

"Is there anything in the kitchen that I can help with?"

"Then you can add tea for them." Du Ruoying handed him a kettle and blocked him out of the kitchen.

"……Fine."

"By the way, let me introduce," Du Ruoying followed his footsteps, "Qi Menghuai, Ye Zhi, and Bai Qirun, you have already met these three, as for these two——Li Mo, and Sherlock Mr Holmes."

"What..." Du Ruoxian shook his hand and almost spilled Sherlock's tea.

"Wow, brother Ruoxian brought fireworks back!" Yeats' eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yeah, after dinner later, we can go to the riverside to play together." Du Ruoxian said.

"But there's only one tube." Bai Qirun had already squatted forward and opened the carton.

Yeats immediately grabbed the carton: "Then I'll put it away!"

"Why? I got it first!" Bai Qirun refused to let go.

"Ms. First, do you understand, she's not a gentleman at all!" Yeats tugged back.

"For dangerous things like setting off fireworks, it's good for boys to do it. Girls cover your ears and stand aside and watch!"

"Only a coward like you thinks it's dangerous!"

"You're a coward!"

"How old are you? It's really childish to grab things." Li Mo watched them fight coldly, his face was full of disdain, "It's just a firework, what's the big deal?"

Unexpectedly, Sherlock rolled his eyes: "When you heard the fireworks, your body leaned forward more than anyone else. You who don't agree with your heart, what right do you have to say that others are childish?"

"... Sherlock you!"

"Okay, stop arguing," Du Ruoxian persuaded, "How about this, after dinner, everyone will use the game to decide the winner, and the winner will be let go, how about it?"

"Yes!" Bai Qirun answered first, "From EVE to Minesweeper, no matter what game, I will accompany you to the end."

"You're stupid, who's playing video games with you when it's New Year's Eve?" Yeats sneered.

"Then what are you playing? Are you playing hide and seek?" Bai Qirun looked disgusted.

"Would you like to play board games?" Li Mo suggested.

"I don't have board games at home..." Du Ruoxian said, "But I do have a few decks of cards."

"Then let's play poker, and the person who wins the most will set off the fireworks." Yeats raised his hand happily.

"How are so many people going to play? Are there two tables?" Bai Qirun said with a headache.

"You four brats are the only ones who want to set off the fireworks. Why don't you solve it within yourself?" Sherlock said lazily.

"Playing games on New Year's Eve, of course everyone must participate to be interesting!"

"We can form a group of two, so we can divide into four groups," Qi Menghuai suggested, "Student Li Mo is in a group with Mr. Sherlock, Xiaoying is in a group with Professor William, Ye Zi and I are in a group, Brother Xian and Qi Run are in a group ,How about it?"

"Hey, if you distribute it this way—" Sherlock glanced at the kitchen from a distance, "you will definitely be unilaterally killed by that guy Lian."

"Is Professor William so good at poker?" Yeats asked in disbelief.

In her opinion, the professor should be the kind of excellent man who "does not drink or smoke, and only reads books in his spare time".

"Sherlock, don't rush to draw conclusions," Li Mo smiled confidently, "On poker—it's not certain who is the best."

"Why don't you change the game?" Bai Qirun quickly suggested, "For board games like 'Werewolf' or 'Who's Undercover', it's easy to temporarily make a set of cards."

The Dragon Boat Festival had already been unilaterally tortured and killed by William once before, and the shadow still lingered in his heart, and he didn't want to experience a similar feeling again.

"But these board games rely heavily on reasoning ability," Du Ruoxian glanced at Sherlock secretly, "In this case, our winning rate may be even lower, Qi Run..."

"That's right." Thinking that the opponent would be Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes himself, Bai Qirun couldn't help shrinking his neck. He hugged his knees and curled up on the sofa, "Then it's still poker."

Poker still has a bit of luck, and in terms of calculation ability and game strategy ability, he is not inferior to Sherlock and others. The only one to guard against is William.

"About rewards and punishments, I have a suggestion," Yeats raised his hand, "It would be too boring to only let the last winner set off fireworks, and the person who loses the worst in each round should also be punished a little bit." , we can use the mobile phone software to randomly draw punishments, and let the losing teams in each round carry out them, how about it?"

"Okay," Bai Qirun said, "You added size to yourself, so don't blame me when the time comes!"

"It doesn't matter who wins or loses!"

In order to further suppress the powerful combat power of William's team, Qi Menghuai proposed again: "For poker games, why not just play blackjack? This is quite a matter of luck."

"Yes," Li Mo nodded, "Which set of rules are you playing?"

"The simplest one is fine - each group takes turns to take cards, and the sum of the points in the hands cannot exceed 21. If it exceeds [-], it will be a 'burst point', and you will lose directly. If you feel that the group is about to burst, you can announce the next Stop drawing cards in one round. After all groups are suspended, everyone will showdown and the one with the higher points wins, and gets the cards of everyone in this round." Qi Menghuai said, "If there are multiple groups with the same points, then use the largest A card face is used to compare the points, and the points are the same as the suit. If the suit is also the same, it is considered a tie, and the winners of each group will divide the cards of everyone in this round. In the end, whichever group has won the most cards will be counted Team wins, how about it?"

"no problem."

"It's 08:30 now, there is plenty of time for the game, we can mix a few more decks, so that we can play longer." Du Ruoxian brought eight brand-new decks of poker and mixed them together, "Besides, the joker cards are not thrown separately If you go out, if you draw a ghost card, you will lose this round directly, how about it?"

Mixing eight decks of cards in one game doubles the difficulty of calculation, which is completely beyond the control range of ordinary people.And the new rule of "drawing a ghost card and directly judging loss" has increased the element of luck.It is clear at a glance who these rules are for guarding against.

In this regard, William just smiled calmly.

"Will, come here and discuss something with you." Du Ruoying suddenly grabbed William and walked towards the bedroom.

"Wait," Du Ruoxian stopped her, "If you have anything to do, you can discuss it in the living room, and you are not allowed to go to the bedroom."

Unexpectedly, Du Ruoying ignored him and walked quickly into the bedroom with William.

"It's okay to go to the bedroom," Du Ruoxian chased after him out of breath, "but don't close the door—"

With a "bang", the door closed, and the door panel almost hit his nose.

"Brother Xian, you are so embarrassing." Bai Qirun said.

Du Ruoxian ignored Bai Qirun's ridicule, and continued to say to Du Ruoying in the bedroom: "You can close the door, but... you need to come out quickly, do you hear me?"

However, there was no echo from the house.

Fortunately, Du Ruoying and William came out in less than 2 minutes. As soon as they went out, they saw Du Ruoxian with his ears pressed against the door panel.

"What are you doing in the bedroom?" Du Ruoxian asked anxiously.

"Discuss the strategy," Du Ruoying gave him an annoyed look, "otherwise what do you think?"

"..."

When the game started, a pile of cards was piled high on the square table, and everyone sat down one after another, two people on each side.

"Sherlock, how is your calculation ability?" Li Mo picked up a card, the K of Hearts, representing 13 - this is a very dangerous number, once the next card gets more than 8 points, he will lose deal.

"Well, my calculation ability... is not bad." Sherlock touched the tip of his nose.

Seeing that William was about to speak, he immediately cast a warning look to stop the other party from making a sound.

William could only silently respond with a sympathetic smile.

"Do you think we should follow or not?" Li Mo quietly showed Sherlock his cards.

"Such a simple question, you think for yourself."

"..." Li Mo gritted his teeth and picked up another ace of spades.

Fortunately, there is no explosive point.

On the other side, Du Ruoying has an 8 of diamonds and a 9 of clubs in his hand at the moment, and it will be full in just 4 points.

"Will..." Du Ruoying poked William guiltily.

"I probably understand the situation," he said gently, "Don't be afraid, just stop trading."

"But--"

"Believe me."

Du Ruoying nodded and chose to stop trading.

Then, Bai Qirun broke the point, Yeats stopped his cards, and Li Mo stopped in the fourth round. He had a K, an A, and a 2 in his hand.According to the size of the points, Du Ruoying narrowly won, and Bai Qirun became the biggest loser.

Yeats randomly selected a punishment for Bai Qirun and Du Ruoxian from the phone——

One party uses his mouth to pick up a card from the table, and the other party uses his mouth to grab the other side and take it.

Du Ruoxian: ...

"Brother Xian, do you know now?" Bai Qirun frowned in pain, "If you betray me in order to help Du Ruoying, there will be no good end for you."

Second round.

Li Mo stared at Du Ruoying unwillingly, and whispered to Sherlock, "What strategy do you think they discussed in the bedroom, and why are they so powerful?"

"Ah? That, it's no big deal," Sherlock plucked his ears calmly, "Xiaoying has known Lian's strength for a long time, and since the New Year's Eve, she couldn't bear to beat you too badly, so she restricted Lian's shots. frequency."

"Huh? What kind of idiot strategy is this?" Li Mo sneered.

Just like what Sherlock said, gradually, some kind of strange pattern emerged—almost every three rounds, Du Ruoying only won one or so rounds, and that round was basically to suppress Bai Qirun.The rest of the time is all about Li Mo winning.

Bai Qirun also discovered this problem.

"Hey, why are you always suppressing me?" he protested.

"You can understand it as—" Du Ruoying smiled brightly, "This is revenge for 'getting rid of' me back then~"

"...?!!"

"Hmph, don't be arrogant." Bai Qirun raised the corners of his mouth coldly, "I have already seen your tricks. In every three rounds, Brother Lian will only help you for one round. He has already helped you in the last round. , from now on, you can only be slaughtered by me." He made a gesture of wiping her neck at her, and said word by word, "Give me a good time and wait for death~"

Sure enough, in the next round, Du Ruoying was abused terribly by Bai Qirun, and finally had to be punished. The content of the punishment was——

One party picks up the wine glass with his mouth and feeds the other party a glass of wine.

Du Ruoying: ...? ! !

"Yezi, what software are you downloading? The punishment is so harsh..." Du Ruoying said speechlessly.

"Hehehe, I found this after countless times of careful selection," Yeats proudly raised his phone, "Okay, don't bother, hurry up and execute it."

"How does Xiaoying want to execute the punishment? Do you feed me, or should I feed you?" William smiled kindly, so kind that it made Du Ruoying's back explode.

Undoubtedly, of the two characters, the one who was fed wine was the worst, and might even choke his nose.Since she lost this round, she naturally didn't dare to let William take on the worst role.

"Then feed me..." she said angrily.

William nodded, poured Du Ruoying a glass of red wine, then picked up the glass and approached her.

Yingying's wine swayed with the waves, carrying bursts of seductive fragrance, the clear and translucent crimson, just like his eyes that were close at hand, silently exuded some kind of confusing power, which made her almost lose consciousness. thinking.

William's strength is very steady, just like his character, gentle, calm, and reassuring.He tilted the wine glass slightly, allowing the liquid to be delivered to her mouth slowly without spilling a single drop.

"Wuhu~" Yeats let out a happy sound of eating melons and watching an opera.

William was keenly aware of her every tiny swallow, pausing for her to keep her from choking.The cold wine drove straight down her throat, but it seemed to ignite the blood in her whole body, causing her to gradually lose her breathing.

Du Ruoying's eyes were slightly red.

"As expected of a couple, the tacit understanding is so high." Li Mo was also dumbfounded.

Du Ruoxian: Why do I feel that I am the only one who is really punished...

William focused his attention on Du Ruoying below him. Seeing that her originally clear eyes were covered with mist, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

He knew that her rationality was still weakly resisting, but her emotions were getting more and more enjoyable.

This kind of futile struggle is especially pitiful.

"I want to do more to her, I want her to be completely addicted, to sink deeper and deeper..."

It's a pity that he, separated by a wine glass, can't do anything at the moment.

The wine glass finally bottomed out, William stepped back to remove the empty glass, a drop of wine was brought out of the corner of her mouth by the edge of the glass, and slowly slid down.Before Du Ruoying raised his hand to wipe it away, William came up to him and sucked it off.

A kiss like a superficial kiss, so fast it was like an illusion.

"Hey, that's not included in the punishment!" Du Ruoying protested, covering her flushed cheeks.

William wiped the corner of his mouth lightly and smiled slightly: "Sorry, I'm used to pursuing perfection, even if it's just a drop, I don't want to watch it go to waste."

With quick eyes and quick hands, Bai Qirun held Du Ruoxian down.

In this way, the poker game full of vicious punishments continued until 11:30, and finally, Li Mo won the qualification to set off fireworks without any suspense.

Everyone came to the riverside with fireworks.

"Student Xiaoying really likes to be brave as always." William walked quietly to Du Ruoying's side. At this moment, she was watching Li Mo's back lighting fireworks quietly. I'm afraid it won't feel good to hand over to others, right?"

"It's...it's okay, I don't want to let it go that much." Du Ruoying said without looking away.

"Obviously as long as I let you go and help you, you can win the whole situation, but you insist on limiting the number of shots I make, and let Li Mo win in the end," William said, "Would you like to tell me the reason?"

Du Ruoying hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered her eyes: "Student Li Mo is a local, and it is reasonable to say that he should celebrate the New Year with his family, but he came here with Sherlock.

"I heard that his parents are local doctors, no matter how busy they are, they should be able to go home for the New Year, but they obviously didn't—so I guess, his parents were suddenly transferred to the front line of the epidemic.

"It's the first time I celebrate the new year alone, I know how uncomfortable it feels, so I thought, at least let him have a better time here."

"Sure enough," William said knowingly, "However, making others happy doesn't necessarily mean making yourself wronged." He suddenly raised a handful of dark gray slender sticks in front of her——

It's a handheld firework stick.

"Wow!" Yeats suddenly exclaimed, "Where did this come from!"

William pointed to a peddler pushing a cart from a distance.

"Brother Lian, you really have it!" Bai Qirun hurried over to share it.

"Lian, you can't get too used to this group of brats." Sherlock obviously couldn't get used to it.

"What's wrong with simply enjoying the fun of children once in a while?" William handed him some fireworks sticks.

"It's too stupid, I don't want it." Sherlock waved his hand, "I don't understand, a country that invented gunpowder first, didn't want to use gunpowder for some serious business, but used it to deceive children."

"They did invent gunpowder first," William nodded, "and they also found something other than killing in gunpowder, extracted it, and made beautiful fireworks to celebrate next spring. I don't think so It's stupid, instead, I think it's romantic."

As he spoke, his gaze quietly shifted to Du Ruoying.

She looked very happy at the moment, a small crackling firework floated on her fingertips, flickering, reflecting her cheeks warm and bright, so soft that people couldn't bear to take their eyes off.

Sherlock followed his gaze, then lit a cigarette: "Okay, I seem to understand a little bit."

"Understand what?"

"I understand why she can attract you." Sherlock breathed out a wisp of light blue smoke, "People often say that we are two sides of a coin, completely opposite existences, destined to attract each other like magnets. But The human heart is not a magnet, and it is impossible to obediently follow such superficial rules of the game. If we are two sides of a coin, then you and her are the same side of the coin—too considerate of others, going beyond principles, and even sacrificing yourself.

"You became interested in a rare kind, so you chose her, and kept testing her essence until you were finally convinced that you were indeed of the same kind, at least once."

William was silent.

"But for people, the attraction of 'similar' is very fatal." Sherlock said, "You miscalculated, Lian, if you continue like this, you will lose yourself."

"Are you secretly investigating her?" William suddenly said coldly, "Where did you get to?"

"Dean Fang..."

"Don't continue." The crimson eyes suddenly sharpened.

Sherlock was stunned.

William's voice was calm, as soft as ever.But Sherlock knew he wasn't suggesting—

It's ordering.

There is no room for negotiation.

"Okay, I promise you." Sherlock put out the cigarette butt.

The zero o'clock bell rang suddenly, and the deafening sound of firecrackers came from all directions, so coincidentally.

In the night sky by the river, gorgeous fireworks bloomed one after another, forming a dazzling galaxy of stars from far and near, and the air was also stained with a faint smell of gunpowder smoke.

"Come and make a wish!" Yeats waved to them, "Don't miss the first wish of the new year!"

"The first wish of the new year...?" Sherlock quietly looked at William's upturned profile, and his emotions became more and more complicated in his blue pupils, "Lian, I will never look at you again Repeatedly-"

"That's my only wish for this year."
