Chapter 6

[The winner for the last round is--]

[--Magnus Mccarthy]

"I won!" Magnus exclaimed as he slammed the desk from excitement

Eleri had her head down so her expression was hard to tell on what she was currently feeling righyt now

Just as Magnus laughter finsihed he suddenly heard Eleri chuckled which made him raise his eyebrow and asked "What are you laughing at?"

Eleri still chuckled as she raised her head with a smile on her face as she said "Fool"

Magnus wanted to say something but then heard a cough from the side as the dealer said [Sorry to interrupt your celebration Mr. Mccarthy but I'm afraid that I lied]

"...What?" Magnus face turned ugly as he looked at Eleri and the dealer with fear as he finally realized what was going on

[On the seventh round, the real winner was Ms. L who played a Spy card while you Mr. Mccarthy played the General of the Army thinking that she followed your words to play the General (4-stars)]

[Also, I was alarmed by the tower that you had cheated , Magnus Mccarthy] The dealer emphasized his last words meaningfully

"No…!" Magnus was terrified and tried to fled but the dealer raised his finger as he said [The punishment for the losers and for those who break the rules--]

[--Is death]

Bang!

Thud

Magnus body fell to the ground as his head exploded into pieces

Eleri looked indifferent at the corpse as she placed her hand inside her coat pocket and asked "So, where is my reward?"

The dealer was slightly stunned before he chuckled and said [Don't worry Ms. L the rewards will be calculated after you leave the tower] as he said that a white door suddenly appeared

Eleri hummed and was about to leave when she heard the dealer said [Before you go may I ask you a question?]

Eleri wanted to refuse but still said "Sure, go ahead"

[Then may I ask how did you know he was gonna play the General of the Army at that time?]

"It's because he said we should play the General (4-stars) and I knew he was going to play something else, and the only card that can defeat the General (4-stars) is the General of the Army"

The dealer nodded and said [I see. But is that play completely calculated, or--]

[--Was it a gamble?]

Eleri didn't answered immediately but said "Maybe" before she left.

As she left the dealer chuckled as he said [Interesting human, she already knew the plan of Magnus but still went with it. She also acted as if she was completely deceived by him in order to let his guard down]

[How cunning. I hope she can live longer so I get to live to see the day with her still playing the Dream Tower]

*****

Opening her eyes Eleri was met with an unfamiliar white room

Sitting up she heard Draven said [You're up, you are currently in the resting area of the Dream Tower along with the other dreamers]

Hearing this she nodded and said "I see"

Looking around she saw that there are also other people in the room doing their own things

From the distance she saw the person she met in the train station and coulnd't help being surprised as she thought 'So he really was a player'

Sensing her gaze the person turned his head towards her as he smiled and walked towards her

Everyone in the room immediately went silent as they looked towards his direction. Eleri sensed something was wrong and heard them whispering

"Oh my god isn't that the A-Class anchor who massacred the entire train cart two days ago?"

Hearing their whisper Eleri couldn't help widening her eyes as she thought 'Two days ago? Isn't that the time when the catastrophe started? And, anchor? What does that mean?'

Before she knew it the person already arrived before her as he stretched out his hands and said "Hello, My name is Kyle, would you like to team up with me for the next game?"

Eleri was surprised and narrowed her eyes at him

The people around were already freaking out and whispered "Who is she?""Why did he want to pair up with her?"

Eleri was silent for some time as she pondered before she reached out and grabbed the hand as she stood up and said "Sure. My name is L"

"L? Is that a codename?" He asked confused

Eleri nodded and said "It's my detective codename"

"Oh! So you're a detective? I haven't heard your codename before, which group do you belong to?"

"I'm a private detective so it is normal not to know me" She answered blunty'

"Oh, I see" Kyle smiled

Suddenly a huge white door suddenly appeared in the center of the room

Kyle walked forward and stretched out his hand towards Eleri as he said "Let's go"

Eleri stared at him for a long time before she stretched out her hand to him and they both entered the door at the same time.
