"Call!"
As Shadowkill's voice fell.
HandsomeBoyMe188 flew into an absolute rage, "I &#%, you're all deliberately targeting me, how the %# am I supposed to play this! You %#&, what's wrong with your brains that you call me every single time! I #%%!"
But no matter how much he cursed, the other three acted as if they hadn't heard a thing. They didn't rush him, nor did they argue back. Qi Xu even had a faint smile on his lips, watching him as if he were watching an idiot perform.
It wasn't until the game announcer started counting down that HandsomeBoyMe188 broke out in a cold sweat and gripped the gun tightly...
Although he wouldn't actually die, it had been so hard to get this spot in the [Gods' Gathering]. If he wasted a life right at the beginning, how was he going to play the rest of the game?
Right as the countdown was about to reach zero, HandsomeBoyMe188 gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger. He was lucky; the gun still didn't go off.
"You all #% want to target me, huh? I have a great life, I'm tough! Keep it coming if you have the guts! I don't believe this! Fuck!"
Three consecutive clicks without the gun going off completely fired up HandsomeBoyMe188. First, he laughed loudly for a long time, and then he started roaring and swearing, even causing people from the neighboring two tables to turn their heads frequently.
Qi Xu started to narrow his eyes. How could this guy's luck be so good? Three shots and it still didn't go off. It didn't matter, they would just keep targeting him.
"Ah, this guy is so disgusting. Can't he read the room? Why is every other word out of his mouth about relatives and body parts! Can he not speak without swearing?"
"That's just the rule of the game. If they think you're lying, why can't they call you out? If you can't afford to lose, don't play. It's really hard to judge this."
"True, this guy is so foul that it makes the other three look like transcendent worldly masters."
"No, is there something wrong with you guys? It's obvious that the other three are deliberately targeting him. Invincible Black Whirlwind and that guy named Shadowkill are clearly setting traps for HandsomeBoyMe188!"
"What kind of breed is he, jumping right into a trap when someone sets it? So obedient."
The bullet screen was filled with all sorts of comments, but thanks to HandsomeBoyMe188, this group became one of the top three most discussed groups.
Soon, the next round of the game began.
Qi Xu drew a real card, a Joker. Even though the previous player, Master Huixin, suddenly played three cards, he didn't call, merely playing a single real card obediently.
HandsomeBoyMe188 finally panicked, realizing Invincible Black Whirlwind's scheme.
She only played real cards, so she wasn't afraid of him calling her out at all. Then she would find a way to pass it to Shadowkill, letting Shadowkill call him out...
This was completely unsolvable! Sure enough, the other three were all playing peacefully. Once his real cards were gone, Shadowkill would call him out instantly. Even if he could know what cards the other three held, it was useless!
Without any surprises, HandsomeBoyMe188 lost again. This time, the revolver finally did its job. His protective item shattered, and he was eliminated.
[Player HandsomeBoyMe188, would you like to continue joining the game? If you continue, you will no longer be able to use any lethal protection items, but the revolver will be refreshed.]
HandsomeBoyMe188 calculated for a moment. Currently, apart from Invincible Black Whirlwind who hadn't fired a shot yet, one of the other two had fired twice and the other once. His chances of winning were very high.
He first glared angrily at Qi Xu, then asked Qiuqiu, "If I'm willing to continue the game, can I request to change seats?"
This wasn't within the original rules, but it was what HandsomeBoyMe188 hoped for, and it could also break Invincible Black Whirlwind's guaranteed-win setup. So Qiuqiu agreed without any hesitation.
[Yes.]
"Then I want to continue the game!"
HandsomeBoyMe188's reasoning was that as long as he wasn't playing right after Invincible Black Whirlwind, with his X-ray vision ability, there was no way he could lose this game!
So he decisively continued!
The seats were reshuffled. Qi Xu remained unhurried; you've used your ability, but I haven't used mine yet.
Coincidentally, HandsomeBoyMe188 moved from being the player after Qi Xu to the player before Qi Xu.
And Master Huixin went directly opposite Qi Xu, with Shadowkill taking the seat after Qi Xu.
At this point, Qi Xu was already thinking about how to lay out the remaining strategy once HandsomeBoyMe188 was eliminated, and how to secure first place.
After the game restarted, Master Huixin played his cards first. As soon as the cards dropped, HandsomeBoyMe188 called him out instantly. Master Huixin calmly took a shot at himself, and it didn't go off.
In the next round, it was HandsomeBoyMe188's turn to play first. His luck with the cards was quite good this time; all 4 cards in his hand were real! A perfect starting hand, he was bound to win this round!
After putting on an act for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and threw out three cards! He gave off the feeling of risking it all.
Qi Xu couldn't even be bothered to guess, nor did he want to analyze it. He just wanted to securely eliminate him, so he directly asked, "Hey, friend, we're on the same side. Are there any fake cards among these three?"
HandsomeBoyMe188 immediately shook his head, "Yes, there is one."
Qi Xu nodded seriously, "Okay, friend, I believe you! Call, I want to challenge! I always believe my friends!"
The cards were revealed, and just as he said, there was one fake card.
"Holy crap, this HandsomeBoyMe188 is a good guy. I really wronged him just now, he actually told the truth."
"Invincible Black Whirlwind is awesome. He dares to tell the truth, but it also depends on whether the next player dares to believe it!"
"Hiss, why do I feel like this is so surreal? HandsomeBoyMe188 was just so angry he looked like he wanted to eat someone, and now he looks so peaceful..."
Qi Xu had exposed a skill in front of all the players on the national server, but being able to securely take out HandsomeBoyMe188 was worth it. Even if this shot didn't go off, 10 minutes was enough to play several rounds.
Qi Xu believed that Shadowkill was very perceptive and wouldn't actively call him out.
But unexpectedly, HandsomeBoyMe188's good luck seemed to have entirely run out. With the newly refreshed revolver, the very first shot went off directly. Blood splattered everywhere, covering the entire card table.
The other three couldn't move and were all more or less stained with his blood.
Master Huixin started fiddling with his prayer beads again, constantly chanting "Amitabha."
[District 93 player HandsomeBoyMe188 has been eliminated due to death. All personal supplies have been deposited. If Invincible Black Whirlwind, Shadowkill, and Master Huixin can leave the [Gods' Gathering] alive, they can equally divide all of HandsomeBoyMe188's supplies.]
Qi Xu smiled brightly. The person he hated was dead, and it felt like the air had become fresher. "Let's all get rich together."
Master Huixin finally looked up and said earnestly to Qi Xu, "Amitabha. All things have spirits, and all living beings possess Buddha-nature. The act of killing harms the harmony of heaven and accumulates evil karma. For every killing karma added, one is bound by a bit more sin. Over time, it will damage one's own blessings and show no compassion for living beings. I hope the benefactor will restrain your sharp edges and harbor a heart of mercy, so as to avoid regret in the future!"
