(I changed John's memory to this chapter because I forgot a setting in the manuscript. Those with rigorous thinking can go back and read it again. It doesn't matter if you don't read it again, and there is no big difference.)

As John said, the next situation became a simple and fast redemption game, where both sides kept throwing away the same chips.

After a few rounds, the number of chips has become:

William: 3 pieces

John: 2 pieces

Jill: 1

"Eyes..." Jill threw out the last chip in his hand, and finally let out a breath of relief. She finally escaped from this game.

William also took out the "eye chips" in his hand and was about to throw them out...

But at this moment...

"Okay, I have to say that if the game goes to this point, it will indeed end with a draw." The bartender interrupted the boring watch with some helplessness.

"So... are you going to end this game early?" John asked with his eyes down.

unexpectedly......

"Hehehe—of course not, because since this game is about to end, I have to return all of everyone's memories to you. After all, when I seized these memories, I did not give you any bargaining chips. I said that I am a person who follows the principle of equivalent exchange..."

Hearing these words from the bartender, John instinctively felt a very uneasy feeling, as if these memories would change all this.

However, he had no time to think about anything more, because the moment he finished speaking...

All three memories were returned to the three people present.

First of all, it is...

【John’s Memory】

In my memory, John was embracing a woman.

"Dear... you have to hold on..." John said softly, but he knew it would be useless. A stream of grief seemed to spread from the body of the man in his arms to his heart, and he could not even convince himself.

It was a kind of beautiful life under construction. The moment the infrastructure was completed, it collapsed instantly. While all previous efforts were wasted, the future was also drowsy.

"There is one more thing, I have to tell you... I have cancer, right in my brain, and there is no way to undergo surgery. In fact, I seem to have found a feasible treatment, but the medical fund has been rejected. I didn't get a penny, and the treatment I mentioned cannot be carried out...so..."

These words echoed in John's mind, but he still didn't say them.

I remember many years ago, he and his wife promised not to deceive each other and overcome difficulties together, but looking at the woman in her arms, John finally chose to deceive.

His words were: "Don't be sad, everything will be fine."

However, it will not get better anymore. Your life is a dead end. If the despair brought by fate is inevitable, then why should you add another scar to despair?

He hugged the person in his arms tightly towards him.

"Yes, it will be better." Finally, the woman picked up the last bit of strength and raised her head.

That face...it's Jill...

......

And at the same time.

【Jil's Memory】

The cold wind slapped on my face, and wherever I looked, there were buildings, and I stood at the highest point of the rooftop, and one step ahead was a deep abyss.

Although his husband tried his best to hide it, he finally knew... He had an incurable disease.

Fate played the most tragic joke with her...firstly he took his own child, then he wanted to take his husband.

So soon, there was only one person left in this world who was alone.

Jill knew that no matter how much grief was, it would eventually be resolved by time, as long as you survive it with strength... However, he didn't seem so strong. He was just an ordinary woman.

"I... can't stand it."

She murmured softly, then her body tilted forward slightly... The howling wind blew across her ears, accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness...

The last moment of memory was a roar that I didn't know if I heard it.

......

【William’s Memory】

Pain, fatal pain, he felt his whole body burning, and a corrosive liquid had been injected into his body, and they were devouring himself from the inside out.

According to his memory, he knew that this was John... that is, [Jigsaw]'s punishment for himself, because he cut off countless people's path to survival and destroyed countless families. This was his own judgment.

Although he felt that he would not die even if he was guilty... Haha, in the face of death, who thinks that he really should die?

But this is of no use.

In my memory, my screams became weaker and weaker, and the pungent sour smell penetrated from every pore in my body... He could even recall the feeling that his heart was being corroded.

......

Finally, all three memories were presented to the eyes of the three people.

"I... am I dead?" Jill said blankly.

William also looked at his hands and then touched his body randomly, as if the sulfuric acid was still flowing in his body.

"You...you kill me!!" William yelled angrily as he looked at John!

At this time, John was looking up at the other side of the table, Jill who was still immersed in memories... This was the first time John had shown other expressions other than indifference since the beginning of the game.

She...is her own wife?

......

In an instant, the storm changed drastically.

"Are we... all dead?" Jill asked the bartender as if he had finally recovered.

"Yes, you are all dead. This is just a temporary site where you are about to lead to nothingness. Oh, you asked me a question before. You want to know where Sisai went, right? Then, now I think you should already know the answer. The place he should go is the world after death..."

Jill listened to these words, she didn't know if she had accepted the explanation, she just turned her head blankly... and saw John who had been looking at her.

Four eyes are opposite...

"John..." she said softly, then slowly stretched out her hand. Although her expression had not changed, tears had already condensed in the corners of her eyes.

That's his husband...

However, just when John was in a daze and wanted to reach out his hand... Jill suddenly disappeared.

"What...what happened?" John was stunned.

"Oh, as you can see, she has no bargaining chips anymore, so... she also left the game, just like she had always expected." The bartender smiled, then sucked the air around her deeply, as if she was very happy about the moment.

"Oh, by the way, let her throw all her chips out... it's you."
