Chapter 36: Life and Death Cards
When I returned to the classroom, the class was already in chaos. Some were crying and laughing , while others were dancing. It was like a scene of a group of demons dancing wildly. The monitor also had a sad face and kept looking at his phone.
Looking at the chaos in the class, I was very calm. I glanced at Mo Qingyu and returned to my seat. Then I said calmly, "The nightmare has begun again."
"Who said it wasn't? How abominable." Zhao Pengyu said with a look of despair. He picked up the phone and asked in a puzzled voice, "Didn't we kill Han Ziyu? Why isn't it over yet?"
"The reason is very simple. Han Ziyu is not the gatekeeper of the underworld at all. We have been completely deceived." I said with a wry smile.
"No way?" Zhao Pengyu said in shock, "But if it wasn't her, why would she quit the group?"
"Because it deliberately made us think that Han Ziyu was the gatekeeper of the underworld, and then we tried our best to kill Han Ziyu. It was equivalent to helping him." I said with a wry smile.
"So that's how it is. This is really scary." Zhao Pengyu said in shock.
"Now the problem is very clear. Han Ziyu is not the gatekeeper of the underworld. The identity of the gatekeeper of the underworld has become a mystery again." I said calmly.
As I was speaking, the monitor came to the podium and said in a frustrated voice, "Everyone, please think of a solution. How can we solve this problem?"
"What are you talking about? Who is the gatekeeper of the underworld?" Zhao Wuji stood up and said.
The squad leader looked at him strangely, then said, "Didn't Mo Qingyu tell you?"
"She told me, but this is too ridiculous." Zhao Wuji said nonchalantly.
"Then why don't you quit the group? That would be better." The squad leader glanced at him with disdain.
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly and sat down, but he did not really leave the group. The students in the audience started discussing one by one.
"By the way, wasn't Han Ziyu killed by Zhang Fan?" a girl shouted.
"Yes, Zhang Fan might know something."
"Zhang Fan, tell us what's going on?"
Listening to their words, I felt a little dissatisfied. After Mo Qingyu betrayed me, the whole class laughed at me openly and secretly. No one sympathized with me at all. Only Zhao Pengyu comforted me when I was in the most pain.
Now that I was useful, they asked me questions. I immediately shouted, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
Seeing me like this, the squad leader sighed and said, "Zhang Fan, just tell me. You know the current situation."
I glanced at him, then stood up and told him the fact that Han Ziyu was not the gatekeeper of the underworld.
Everyone was stunned, everyone had an ugly look on their face, but Zhao Wuji sneered and said, "Who knows if what you said is true?"
At this time, I looked at him and said calmly: "What I said has nothing to do with you."
After saying that, I glanced at them indifferently, and then continued: "If my guess is correct, Han Ziyu is not only not the gatekeeper of the underworld, she is here to help us."
"You said she came to help us?" the squad leader asked in disbelief.
"Yes, according to my speculation, Han Ziyu is very likely the enemy of the gatekeeper of the underworld, otherwise the gatekeeper of the underworld would not use us to kill her." I said.
"So, we were wrong?" the squad leader said with a strange look on his face.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. When they had dealt with Han Ziyu, the whole class had fought together . Now that they had discovered that they had made a mistake, they were all very embarrassed.
"Yes, we were all wrong. Han Ziyu was not our enemy. She might have known who the gatekeeper of the underworld was. It's a pity that she died." I shook my head and said.
At this time, Mi Qiqi said: "Then I would like to ask, according to your speculation, who is the gatekeeper of the underworld?"
"According to my speculation, the gatekeeper of the underworld is still among us, one of us. This means that each of us is qualified to become the gatekeeper of the underworld." I thought about it and then explained.
Now everyone was silent, discussing one by one, but at this moment, someone shouted: "Look, the gatekeeper of the underworld has issued an order."
I subconsciously looked at my phone, and sure enough, the gatekeeper of the underworld had issued a new task.
"Randomly select six students to play a game called Life and Death Cards. The rules are as follows."
"There are six cards on the table at the podium. There are five cards with life written on them and one card with death written on it. These cards are placed face up, and each of the six students will draw a card from them. The one who draws the death card will be executed."
"Participants are not allowed to peek at the cards or cheat, otherwise they will be executed."
"If the game is not completed within six hours, all six people will be executed."
"The selected list is as follows: Zhao Wuji, Zhang Fan, Mi Qiqi, Mo Qingyu, Li De, Liang Qiurou."
Looking at the content on my phone, I looked calm, but deep down, I was thinking about how to deal with the life and death cards in front of me.
The situation is very simple. There are six cards, and each person chooses one. This means that everyone has a one in six chance of drawing a dead card, which means they will be executed.
But the rules do not allow cheating, which means we cannot peek and can only pick one at random.
If this is the case, then no matter what I do, I may end up with a dead card. Thinking of this, I feel a little worried.
Except for me, everyone else's face changed drastically. They looked at their phones in fear, with fear on their faces.
Zhao Wuji even shouted: "What kind of game is this? I won't play it."
"If you don't want to play, that's your business." I stood up coldly, then looked at the monitor and said, "Please take out the cards, so that we won't have a chance to cheat."
"Okay." The monitor said, and took out six cards from the table on the podium and placed them on the table.
These six cards had a skull on the back, which looked very creepy. The monitor placed them face up on the table, then looked the class and said in a trembling voice: "In this situation, we can only draw. Who goes first?"
After these words were spoken, no one was willing to come over. Everyone had a hesitant look on their faces. Especially Mi Qiqi and Liang Qiurou, they were trembling with fear.
"What a bunch of cowards." I said disdainfully, then turned and walked up to the podium.
In fact, in this life and death card game, the first person who draws the card has the greatest chance of survival. There are five life cards among the six cards, which means that I have a one in six chance of dying, but a five in six chance of surviving.
After I draw a card, if it is not a dead card, then the next person who draws a card will face the remaining five cards. And his mortality rate becomes one-fifth.
In other words, the earlier you draw the cards, the greater your survival rate.
Thinking of this, I smiled slightly, then stood on the podium, looking down at everyone in the class. In particular, my gaze lingered on Mo Qingyu's face.
Seeing that I was looking at her, Mo Qingyu lowered her head awkwardly, as if she was afraid to face me.
I smiled coldly, then randomly pulled out a card from the table and said in a cold voice, "I'm out."
After saying that, I picked up the card and showed it to everyone.
The card in my hand is indeed life, which means that I survived.
I calmly withdrew my hand and returned to my seat. When I returned, Zhao Pengyu said in surprise, "Congratulations, I was so scared just now that my heart was in my throat."
"What are you afraid of? There's no way I'll draw a dead card." I sneered.
"Why are you so confident? Do you have any secret?" Zhao Pengyu couldn't help but ask.
"It's not really a secret, it's just that the monitor helped me cheat." I said.
"What, the monitor helped you cheat? Isn't cheating forbidden?" Zhao Pengyu was shocked and asked hurriedly.
I picked up my phone and showed it to him, then said calmly, "I think you are mistaken. The rules only prevent participants from cheating, and the monitor is not one of the six people. He is an outsider."
"So that's how it is. I admire you so much." Zhao Pengyu exclaimed.
"Let's continue watching." I said with a smile.
After I drew the cards, someone immediately couldn't sit still and was ready to draw a card. This person turned out to be Zhao Wuji. He came to the podium with a sullen face. Then he stretched out his hand tremblingly, ready to reach for a card.
But he quickly pulled his hand back, his face full of indecision, but soon he gritted his teeth, grabbed a card, and opened it.
After opening it, Zhao Wuji immediately shouted in ecstasy: "Haha, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive."
As he shouted, he shook the cards in his hand in ecstasy.
When I saw this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "That's great, he succeeded."
Zhao Pengyu looked at me strangely, and then asked, "Why are you so happy? Isn't Zhao Wuji your enemy? He stole Mo Qingyu away."
"So what?" I glanced at Zhao Pengyu, then said calmly, "Wouldn't it be boring if he died like this?" I paused, looked at Zhao Wuji, and said with a smile, "He should have died in my hands."
Zhao Pengyu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously left me, looked at me and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you stimulated?"
I looked at the situation calmly, then said lazily, "I'm fine, I just know what I should do."
"Okay." Zhao Pengyu looked at me and said, "No matter what, I support you."
"Just keep watching." I said, looking at the situation in front of me.
After Zhao Wuji drew the cards, Mi Qiqi also left her seat trembling, and walked to the podium, ready to draw the cards.
