After a few words, everyone was shocked.

Even Rat of Human was slightly stunned.

"You want... to gamble with your life?" Rat of Human confirmed.

"That's right." Qi Xia nodded. "I want to bet my life."

Rat of Human's throat moved slightly, swallowed, and then said, "Isn't it... unnecessary?"

Her reaction exceeded Qi Xia's imagination.

He thought that these animal masks would be willing to bet their lives, but why was she panicking?

"This is just a simple 'search' game. It's too exaggerated for you to bet your life... And my ticket only requires one 'dao'. You don't have to bet your life," she said.

Lin Qin and Qiao Jiajin were also puzzled.

"Can this game... really bet lives?" Qiao Jiajin frowned and asked, "But why would you bet your life, Deceiver? Don't we have enough 'dao'?"

"I remembered what the withered old man said and wanted to try it here," Qi Xia said in a low voice. "Judging from the other party's appearance, it seems that they are very afraid of me 'gambling with my life'."

"I know you really want to win," Lin Qin interjected, "but what if there's a problem when you open the can with your life at stake? What if the 'dao' is not inside?"

"I will win," Qi Xia said, then looked up at Rat of Human. "I have already placed my bet. Can we start?"

Rat of Human remained silent for a long time before finally tremblingly saying, "If you really want to gamble with your life, then don't regret it... The game starts now."

Qi Xia walked into the room.

Just as Rat of Human was about to exit the room and close the door, Qi Xia grabbed her.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

This action made Rat of Human tremble all over.

Qi Xia expressionlessly reached out his hand and slowly took out a 'dao' from Rat of Human's jacket pocket.

"I found it."

The three people at the door opened their mouths wide in astonishment.

Is this allowed?

Finding the 'dao' on the referee the moment the game starts.

Doesn't this really violate the 'rules'?

Rat of Human trembled continuously, looking very scared.

"If I'm not mistaken, as long as you close the door, there will be no more 'dao' in this room, right?" Qi Xia asked aggressively.

"How do you know..."

"It's simple." Qi Xia said softly, "Every time you explain the game rules, you always stand in the middle of the room and tell us that there is a 'dao' in the room 'now'. Your statement is correct, but unfortunately, it's a huge trap."

Seeing that Rat of Human didn't reply, Qi Xia continued, "There is indeed a 'dao' in the room 'now', but it will disappear soon."

The eyes under Rat of Human's mask began to roll frantically. After holding back for a long time, she asked, "You bet your life just because of this bold assumption?"

"Assumption? Of course not," Qi Xia continued, "What really convinced me was when you declared Tian Tian's 'game failure'."

"What?!"

"At that time, she closed the door, and theoretically, none of us knew what was happening inside. But the moment you opened the door, you told Tian Tian that she had failed." Qi Xia shook his head helplessly, "Why did you know that she didn't find it?"

"I..."

"The answer is obvious. You knew that there couldn't be a 'dao' in the room."

Rat of Human's body trembled slightly.

"And the 'rat' game is another trap. We all thought that rats like to hide during the day and search for targets in the dark. This was also the direction Tian Tian was thinking. She wasn't wrong. But there are other types of rats in this world. They hide important things in their mouths, right?"

Rat of Human stared at Qi Xia for a long time, knowing that she had really lost.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly exerted a lot of force to push Qi Xia down and ran away.

"Oh no!" Qiao Jiajin immediately reached out to grab Rat of Human, but she dodged like a real rat, turned around, and ran.

Her running speed was very fast, disappearing down the street.

At this moment, the few people were a bit at a loss. They had never thought that these animal masks would actually run away.

"What's going on... Deceiver?" Qiao Jiajin helped Qi Xia up from the ground, looking puzzled. "Why did she run away?"

"I don't know either." Qi Xia shook his head, but his expression seemed to indicate that he had thought of something.

Could 'gambling with one's life' mean...

He looked in the direction Rat of Human had run, wanting to confirm his thoughts, but his eyes widened involuntarily.

"What's wrong?"

Qi Xia reached out his trembling hand and pointed into the distance.

The three turned their heads to look and were instantly stunned.

In mid-air, a floating figure appeared, blocking Rat of Human.

"Oh no... Is it the Terminator?" Qiao Jiajin's voice trembled slightly, and the scene in front of him completely exceeded his imagination.In the air, the man gently waved his hand, and Rat of Human slumped down, as if he had lost all his strength.

Then, the two disappeared in the distance, and the next second they appeared in front of Qi Xia and his companions.

This scene, like a god descending from the heavens, left the four of them momentarily blank-minded.

Floating in mid-air was a slender man, naked, draped in a cloak made of blood-red feathers. A few feathers were also tucked into his messy long hair. At this moment, he was flipping up and down in the air, like a bird in flight.

The sight before them terrified the four, and no one dared to speak.

Rat of Human was trembling all over, and it seemed like there were sobs coming from beneath his mask.

"Rat of Human, what are you trying to do?" the man asked softly, "Were you trying to run away just now?"

"I... I..." Rat of Human was trembling continuously, his voice distorted with fear.

"Running away is not an option." The man gently landed, reaching out to stroke Rat of Human's head, "You must behave. 'Gamble with one's life' means exactly that."

"Rosefinch...!" Rat of Human cried out, "Please spare me...!"

"That's not possible." The man, referred to as 'Rosefinch', extended his slender fingers, tracing them over Rat of Human's mask, "If you gamble, you must accept the loss. If the other party wants to gamble with your life, I can't do anything about it."

A sense of foreboding rose in Qi Xia's heart. Gathering his courage, he spoke to the man, "I... I don't want her life. I gambled with my own life just to gain more 'Dao'."

"Oh?" Rosefinch raised his eyes to look at Qi Xia, but his hand slowly moved down to Rat of Human's pale neck, gripping it as if he were holding a real rat.

Rat of Human was trembling all over, too scared to utter a word.

"Is this necessary?" Qi Xia frowned, "I initiated the 'Gamble with one's life'. Now I don't want her life, I just want the 'Dao'. Killing her does me no good."

Hearing Qi Xia seemingly pleading for her, Rat of Human slowly raised her head to look at him, her eyes filled with tears.

Upon hearing Qi Xia's words, Rosefinch slowly withdrew his hand and chuckled.

"Interesting... Rat of Human, get up... He has spared you." He patted Rat of Human's back.
