Chapter 60 – Psychological warfare

Pig of Human remained silent and looked at Qi Xia. He said, "Even if you have seen through all of this, you still have a 49% chance of getting a black piece."

"That's right," Qi Xia continued to search in the bowl, "When all science no longer works, I will also believe in metaphysics."

"So what is your theory of metaphysics?"

"It's that I must get out of here," Qi Xia said, "I believe 100% that I can leave this haunted place, so I must find a black piece here."

After saying that, he grabbed two chess pieces from the bowl and held them in his palm.

Then he raised them in front of Pig of Human and turned his hand for him to see.

Pig of Human's face instantly changed, and his eyes under the mask trembled. He could hardly believe what he saw.

Both pieces were black!

The two crystal-clear black chess pieces, like two hollow eyes, lay in Qi Xia's hand, silently staring at Pig of Human, making him feel uneasy.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Pig of Human didn't speak, Qi Xia smirked and threw one of the black pieces back, leaving the other one.

"I've made my choice."

A few seconds later, Pig of Human finally understood and said, "You...you dare to trick me?!"

He slammed the table and stood up, wanting to react immediately. But upon careful thought, Qi Xia hadn't done anything.

He just raised the chess pieces in front of his own eyes.

Pig of Human miscalculated.

When Qi Xia raised the two black pieces in front of him, he should have said something.

Even if it was a mockery, even if it was a joke.

Even if it was urging the other party to make a choice quickly--

But he made the mistake of not saying anything.

After all, in this situation, only when both pieces are black is it enough to make someone silent.

He thought that Qi Xia had left everything to "luck," but he didn't expect that he was still playing a psychological game at the last moment.

Pig of Human was just wondering why the man in front of him took out two black pieces at once.

Was his "luck" that strong?

Now thinking about it, the other party didn't even know what color his own piece was.

He was observing his reaction.

He would make the next move based on his reaction or language.

Pig of Human seemed to be completely defeated and sat down slowly, saying, "I have to admit, not only are you meticulous, but your 'luck' is also terrifying."

Qi Xia placed the chess pieces on the table and slowly took off his eye mask. "Thank you."

Old Lv jumped up all of a sudden and released all the suppressed joy.

"You're fucking a genius!" He excitedly hugged Qi Xia, "Kid, I've settled our grudges from before! Hahaha!"

Qi Xia shook his head helplessly. "Do I still have to thank you?"

Lin Qin was also happy for the two of them. Although they didn't obtain any "Dao" this time, "winning" made them happy.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Pig of Human reluctantly walked to the side and took out ten "Dao" from a box, handing them to Old Lv.

Old Lv smiled and put the "Dao" in his pocket, then turned to Qi Xia and said, "Kid, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. This time, I paid for the 'ticket,' so forgive me."

Qi Xia didn't mind and nodded, standing up. "The 'Dao' doesn't matter. I want to know the whereabouts of those two now."

"Oh, that's easy," Old Lv said, "Although I'm stingy, I'm fair in settling grudges. Follow me, I saw those two people outside a game room this morning."

"That's great." Qi Xia and Lin Qin nodded and stood up, ready to leave.

"Hey..." Pig of Human called out.

The three of them turned around in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"What's your name?" Pig of Human stared at Qi Xia and asked.

"Qi Xia."

"Qi Xia..." Pig of Human repeated, then sat down slowly in front of the table, seemingly contemplating something.

After waiting for a while, Pig of Human still didn't speak, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Did he go crazy from winning too much all at once and drive this pig crazy?" Old Lv whispered, "I guess he won't earn ten 'Dao' in a day."

"Crazy?" Lin Qin pursed her lips, "Weren't they crazy to begin with..."

Just as everyone was packing up and preparing to leave, Pig of Human finally spoke.

"Qi Xia."

When Qi Xia heard Pig of Human call his name, he turned back again, his expression showing impatience. "What is it?"

"I want to gamble with you again, and this time, I want to gamble with my life," Pig of Human said calmly.

The three of them stood still for a moment upon hearing this sentence.

It seemed that no one could understand what Pig of Human meant.

"What...what?!" Old Lv realized it and took a big step back, "You damn pig, have you really gone crazy?!"

Lin Qin also quickly grabbed Qi Xia's arm. "Let's ignore him..."

Qi Xia frowned upon hearing this. "I refuse."

"Refuse?" Pig of Human crossed his arms, "You refuse?"

"That's right." Qi Xia nodded, "I can't bet my life when the odds are only 50%. It has no meaning to me."

Old Lv turned his head, looking at Qi Xia suspiciously. "Kid...what nonsense are you talking about..."

"What's wrong?" Qi Xia turned his head, "Do you also think I should bet my life?"

"This is not a matter of 'should or shouldn't'!" Old Lv anxiously stomped his foot, "In this haunted place, as long as one party proposes to 'gamble with their life,' the other party must accept it!"

Qi Xia was slightly startled, as if he understood something.

When he proposed to gamble with Rat of Human before, although she was reluctant, she eventually accepted it.

Now thinking about it, it was a very strange decision.

Her game was very simple. If the other party really chose to gamble with their life, then most likely they had found a way to crack it.

Under such unfavorable conditions for herself, she should have refused no matter what, right?

But she didn't at that time.

It turned out that here, as long as someone proposes to 'gamble with their life,' a life-or-death contract will be forcibly signed."If this rule is broken, a judge like 'Rosefinch' will descend from the sky to sanction those who violate the rules.

Qi Xia's face became exceptionally cold. That Rosefinch would love nothing more than to kill him. If he chose to run away here, the consequences would be unthinkable.

What's more desperate is that all the strategies Qi Xia just used will fail when used for the second time, and the probability of failure will greatly increase.

"Don't be afraid." Pig of Human seemed to see through Qi Xia's thoughts and said, "I'm not such an unreasonable pig. Let's play a more interesting game this time."

He took out two pairs of glasses from a box on the side and placed them on the table.

"These are good things I borrowed from brother Aries..."

Everyone took a closer look, these glasses were no different from ordinary glasses, except for a small device at the bridge of the nose, its function unknown.

"You two, I need your help." Pig of Human said with a silly smile.

"Help?" Old Lv instantly pouted, "Help you? Impossible."

"If you don't agree, I will announce a gamble with my life against all of you." Pig of Human said in a strange tone.
