Qi Xia licked his dry lips and picked up a chess piece from his hand.

Lin Qin's pupils instantly widened when she saw it.

It was a white piece.

"Qi Xia... I can only lie... Please don't believe me..." Lin Qin shouted in her mind, hoping for a miracle to happen so that Qi Xia could hear her.

She was very afraid now, afraid that Qi Xia's trust in her would cost him his life.

"Don't believe me..." Lin Qin repeated over and over in her mind.

Qi Xia pondered for a moment, without asking any questions, he took out a black piece instead.

Lin Qin frowned, knowing that no matter if it was a black or white piece, she could only give the opposite answer.

Qi Xia slowly raised the black piece and brought it close to Lin Qin's eyes, saying, "Lin Qin, tell me..."

Lin Qin covered her mouth with her hand, feeling like she was about to collapse.

She didn't want to tell Qi Xia that "this is a white piece", but if she didn't lie, the mechanism on her glasses would be triggered.

Qi Xia seemed to sense something and said lightly, "Don't be nervous, Lin Qin, keep your brain running, it's not over yet."

After hearing this, Lin Qin nodded in despair.

Once she felt that her emotions had become relatively stable, Qi Xia asked, "Lin Qin, tell me, what color would Old Lv say this chess piece is?"

"Huh?"

Lin Qin and Old Lv were both stunned, and even Pig of Human's eyes flickered.

"Listen carefully to my question, Lin Qin, I'll ask again." Qi Xia repeated, "What color would Old Lv say this chess piece is?"

Old Lv...?

Lin Qin turned her head and glanced at Old Lv, her mind racing.

The sensation on her glasses was cold, indicating that she was lying. And Pig of Human had never lied before, indicating that his rules were absolute, so Old Lv would tell the truth.

In that case, Old Lv would say that this chess piece is "black".

Just as Lin Qin was about to blurt out the words "black", she suddenly thought of something--

She was the one who was lying, so she couldn't tell Qi Xia the answer "black".

Even if Old Lv said "black", she had to say "white".

In this way, everything would be back to square one, wouldn't it?!

The key point of this game was not Old Lv at all, but herself.

Lin Qin bit her lip and finally struggled to say two words, "white."

At this moment, she felt like a person choking on the "truth", all the truths that passed through her mouth would ultimately become lies.

Old Lv frustratedly covered his forehead, feeling that everything was over.

"White, huh..." Qi Xia turned his head, seeming to look at the chess piece in his hand, then his mouth curled up and he said, "I see."

Pig of Human pondered for a moment and thought to himself, "What will you do? Qi Xia, if the person you trust the most tells you that the chess piece in your hand is white, what will you choose?"

Qi Xia slowly put the black piece in his hand aside and picked up another white piece.

He handed the white piece forward, passing it to Pig of Human.

"Oh? Have you made your choice?" Pig of Human asked.

This time, Pig of Human had learned from the previous experience and deliberately made his tone flat.

In this way, Qi Xia would not be able to judge the color of the chess piece in his hand through his language.

"Yes, I have made my choice." Qi Xia nodded and said, "But it's not the one in your hand, that white piece is yours."

"What?"

Qi Xia ignored Pig of Human and instead held the black piece in front of him, saying, "This black piece in my hand represents 'life', and the white piece in your hand represents 'death', the game is over."

In the astonishment of everyone, Qi Xia slowly took off his blindfold.

Everything was just as he had expected.

The only thing that felt uncomfortable to him now was that he had worn the blindfold for too long and was a bit sensitive to the light.

"You..." Pig of Human trembled with excitement, "What kind of joke are you playing..."

Qi Xia opened his eyes and looked at Pig of Human, saying, "I made a 'gamble with my life' with you, how could it be a joke?"

After saying that, he pointed at Lin Qin and Old Lv, "Let them go, I'm a man of my word."

Pig of Human widened his eyes and sighed in frustration, taking out a remote control from the drawer and pressing it randomly.

With a "click" sound, the mechanism on their glasses was released.

The two quickly took off the life-threatening things and threw them aside.

"Qi Xia! You're damn amazing!!!" Old Lv shouted excitedly, walking up and patting Qi Xia on the back, "Did you win the lottery? What kind of luck is this?!"

"Luck..." Qi Xia shook his head, "I didn't rely on any luck in this 'gamble with my life', Pig of Human just underestimated me."

After hearing this, Pig of Human silently turned his head and said, "I underestimated you...?"

"Yes." Qi Xia straightened his clothes and stood up slowly, "I've told you a long time ago, smart people don't rely on luck, but you didn't take it to heart."

"So you mean..." Pig of Human also stood up in disbelief, "Everything just now... was planned by you?""Yes." Qi Xia nodded, "My strategy is very simple. As long as you choose one black piece and one white piece for me, then I win. And it's a hundred percent win, there's no chance of any accident."

Pig of Human's eyes widened, his pupils dilating.

This was the first time he had lost so thoroughly since becoming the 'Pig'.

"To ensure that you would choose one black and one white for me, I even specifically told you 'after you choose, it will be easier for me to choose'." Qi Xia reached out, picked up two black pieces and two white pieces from the table, holding them separately in his hands, as if simulating Pig of Human's mental activity at the time.

"You must have struggled for a while, right? And then you realized that no matter how you choose, giving me one black and one white is the safest."

A voice of disbelief came from behind Pig of Human's mask: "You even calculated this..."

"Should I say you're too cautious, or too careless?" Qi Xia weighed the two white pieces in his hand, "If you could trust your first instinct and give me two white pieces directly, I would be dead by now."

Pig of Human stopped talking, just staring at Qi Xia resentfully.

Qi Xia continued: "When I hold two different colored pieces, as long as I ask the question like just now, I will know the color of the pieces in my hand one hundred percent."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin quickly pondered.

After a moment, her mouth fell open.

The question Qi Xia had asked earlier was simply too clever.

He asked 'what color would the other person say this is', regardless of whether the person being asked would tell the truth or lie, as long as Qi Xia held a black piece, they would all give the answer 'white'.

When he asked Lin Qin, Lin Qin knew Old Lv's answer was 'black', but because of her characteristic of lying, she changed it to 'white'.

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

When he asked Old Lv, Old Lv directly gave Lin Qin's answer, 'white'.

Even if Qi Xia received the answer 'black' instead of 'white', he would immediately know that the other piece in his hand was the correct answer.
