"Walk out in the open...?" Qi Xia's face showed a pensive expression, as if he was contemplating something.

"I have already made my choice, it's your turn." Pig of Human pushed both bowls forward. "Choose, choose the one that will survive between you and me."

Lin Qin and Old Lv frowned upon seeing this scene.

Pig of Human mixed up all the chess pieces, with each bowl containing an equal number of black and white pieces.

From now on, everything would depend on "luck".

Qi Xia didn't make a move at all. He tilted his ear as if trying to judge the color of the chess pieces by listening.

After a while, Qi Xia spoke, "Pig of Human, help me choose."

"What...?" Pig of Human was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said help me choose." Qi Xia said seriously. "Help me choose two, and I will choose one from them."

"Qi Xia, this is a 'Gamble with one's life'. Aren't you going to take control of your own fate?"

"It's okay." Qi Xia seemed indifferent. "You said you wanted to participate in the 'Gamble with one's life' to feel like you have 'lived' before. But think about it, this game has been played by me from beginning to end, and you haven't participated."

Pig of Human fell silent. It was indeed true.

"So I'm giving you a chance to 'participate'. " Qi Xia pointed to the bowls in front of them. "This game is a contest between you and me, so I'm curious to see how you will choose."

Pig of Human reached out and slowly stroked his chin.

There were some untrimmed pig hairs on his chin, so he stroked them like a beard, giving him a strange and wise look.

He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out Qi Xia's motive.

This was originally a game where the chances of winning and losing were equal. But if he chose the chess pieces, the result would become even more unpredictable for Qi Xia.

At this tense moment of the 'Gamble with one's life', the man in front of him left his life and death entirely in the hands of the enemy...

Did he give up? Or was he playing a trick?

"Don't hesitate, Pig of Human. It's better for you to choose first, isn't it?" Qi Xia said.

"I choose... so that you can choose better?" After a while, Pig of Human finally nodded. "I understand. Then let me send you on your way."

Qi Xia nodded and remained silent.

Pig of Human reached out towards the bowls on the table and decisively picked up two white pieces.

For Qi Xia, these two white pieces were tickets to hell. No matter how he asked later, the white pieces could never turn into black.

Just as Pig of Human was about to hand these two white pieces to Qi Xia, something suddenly flashed through his mind.

Pig of Human suddenly raised his head and thought to himself, "Wait... something's not right."

Did Qi Xia not expect him to choose two white pieces for him?

This was a 'bet'. It was a game where if the opponent won, he would lose his life. Why was Qi Xia so confident in letting him choose?

"Ah..." Pig of Human suddenly realized, slowly retracting his hand. "He's playing a trick..."

What did he mean by "You choose first, and I can choose better"?

Pig of Human's thoughts suddenly became clear.

Once these two white pieces were handed to Qi Xia, he would immediately change his mind. He would set these two white pieces aside and choose again from the remaining bowls.

This small action would disrupt the balance in the bowls, leaving 48 white pieces and 50 black pieces.

Qi Xia's chances of winning would increase.

After all, Qi Xia was not a "Chinese Zodiac". The words he spoke in the game were not "rules", but merely his own suggestions.

Since it wasn't a "rule", Qi Xia didn't need to abide by it either.

So it was highly possible for him to "change his mind".

"You're really cunning..." Pig of Human felt a wave of fear in his heart. He almost fell into Qi Xia's trap. After thinking for a moment, he took out two black pieces.

But now he hesitated.

Handing over two black pieces directly to the other party would be even more dangerous.

If the other party anticipated his prediction, wouldn't they win directly?

Pig of Human lowered his head and looked at the chess pieces in his hand. In his left hand were two white pieces, and in his right hand were two black pieces.

He found that no matter which choice he made, it would increase Qi Xia's chances of winning, which was quite absurd.

Was all of this calculated by Qi Xia in advance?

"Should I really give him two white pieces...?" He squinted his eyes and pondered again. At least, the white pieces would slightly increase Qi Xia's chances of winning, but the black pieces would greatly increase...

No, that's not right.

Pig of Human shook his head again.

Neither two black pieces nor two white pieces would work, as he didn't know what strategy Qi Xia would use.

Pig of Human was forced to adjust his strategy and abandon the tactic of two black pieces and two white pieces, holding one black piece and one white piece in his hand.

At this moment, he only had one thought - since he couldn't decrease the opponent's chances of winning, he would maintain the status quo.

Let everything return to a fifty-fifty chance, which should be more difficult for Qi Xia.

"That's right... it should be like this..." Pig of Human nodded and placed one black piece and one white piece into Qi Xia's hand.

"Qi Xia, I have made my choice." Pig of Human said, "This 'Gamble with one's life' is now back in your hands."

"Gamble with one's life..." Qi Xia touched the two chess pieces in his hand, his expression quite complicated.

Pig of Human finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least, at this stage, he had made the best choice.

For Qi Xia, the situation of one black piece and one white piece should be the most difficult to handle. He had to pick one and ask the two people about the color of their chess pieces.

He didn't know the color of the chess piece he picked, nor did he know if the person he asked would tell the truth or lie.

Under this double fog, Qi Xia's chances of winning would be infinitely reduced.

Old Lv and Lin Qin saw the one black piece and one white piece in Qi Xia's hand, and cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.

These two were not fools, so naturally, they understood the stakes.

It seemed that all of Qi Xia's early strategies had failed, and everything had returned to square one.

Now the chess pieces were still one black piece and one white piece, and the two people were still one telling the truth and one lying.

Without extremely strong "luck", how could they survive?Old Lv pursed his lips, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, his hands already cold from tension.

"Qi Xia, who do you want to question?" Pig of Human asked.

Qi Xia turned his head towards Old Lv, then turned again towards Lin Qin, pondering with a grave expression.

Who was telling the truth?

After about thirty seconds, Qi Xia made his choice: "I choose Lin Qin..."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin shivered as if frightened.

"Good." Pig of Human turned his head and waved at Lin Qin, "Come on, girl, remember the rules, you can only answer 'black' or 'white'. If you dare to say anything else, or give any hints, you will be killed on the spot."

Lin Qin nodded, her face pale.

Pig of Human turned back to Qi Xia: "Start, Qi Xia, you only have one chance to ask. Whether you can save your own life depends on this question."
