Chapter 109: Lies as Fixed as Yesterday's Fate, Mocking Today's Luck as a Struggle!

Su Ming opens the car window.

There is no sound of wind.

No insects chirp.

The dense fog, as if a living creature, surges from all directions of the wasteland, completely separating the road from the world.

A sense of abandoned loneliness blankets the surroundings.

"Interesting!"

Su Ming's mouth curves into a grin.

Of course he doesn't think this is some natural phenomenon.

Behind…

Something must be up to mischief!

Su Ming deliberately slows the car, letting the black Ying Dragon glide through the thick fog.

He isn't overly panicked.

No matter what demons or monsters lie ahead.

He then proceeds.

Hum…

The engine's low hum abruptly weakens.

Finally, the car seems to have exhausted its last ounce of strength, completely stalls, and stops in the middle of the road.

"Tsk, this way of playing is no fun, huh?"

"The brand‑new car hasn't even been enjoyed yet!"

Su Ming murmurs to himself, his tone revealing no emotion.

He calmly pushes open the car door and steps out.

The asphalt beneath his feet is unusually dry, showing no trace of having been washed by Gray Rain.

It's not an illusion.

The Unique explanation…

This place is a separate dimension apart from reality!

Su Ming looks up.

No moon, no stars.

Ahead, the road resembles a lifeless giant python, stretching into endless darkness until it is wholly devoured.

Yet, deep in the wasteland beside the road.

A building shines with an incredibly brilliant, even blinding, neon light.

It is a…

Casino!

Resplendent in gold and jade, extravagantly styled.

On a massive, multicolored sign.

A clown portrait painted with exaggerated oil colors grins with a blood‑red mouth, silently cackling toward him.

In the dead silence of the wasteland, such a casino itself is the most blatant trap.

And also an invitation one cannot refuse!

"Heh."

Su Ming lets out a light laugh from his throat.

"Am I… being set up?!"

He has just left Jiangzhou's borders, yet such a grand scheme is already prepared for him.

Truly interesting!

He no longer hesitates, steps forward, and heads straight toward the eerie casino.

Dragon Pool, Tiger Den?

A look will tell!

A kilometer away, it arrives in an instant.

Su Ming stands before the casino's resplendent revolving Gate, even hearing the faint, whimsical music leaking from the doorway.

He reaches out and pushes the Gate.

Creak—!

After the harsh screeching friction, the music abruptly stops.

Countless dust‑covered slot machines, roulette wheels, and card tables stand quietly in the dimness, as if abandoned for decades.

Only in the hall's center, beside the massive card table, sit seven figures.

A flamboyantly dressed clown.

And six individuals wearing masks with different expressions…

Players?!

The seven gazes lock onto him in unison.

"Welcome, esteemed Mr. Jing!"

The clown springs up sharply from the chair, voice high‑pitched.

He dramatically spreads his arms and performs a comical court bow toward Su Ming.

"We are deeply honored to have a heavyweight guest like you join the special program we have meticulously prepared for you!"

Su Ming's face showed no expression as he walked straight to the poker table and pulled out the only empty red velvet chair.

He sat down leisurely.

I have to say.

These guys really piqued his interest!

They knew he was 【Pure】!

They could precisely locate 【Pure】!

They even dared to design 【Pure】 in this way!

Completely……not avoiding my sharpness?!

"How do you play? Explain the rules!"

Su Ming leaned back in his chair, his voice calm.

This decisiveness and calm left all seven people, including the clown, momentarily stunned.

They had imagined Su Ming would be wary, angry, or probing.

They never expected him to accept it so easily!

As if……

He is the true master of this game!

"Good good good! That's absolutely great!"

【Clown】 was the first to react, clapping wildly.

"He lives up to being the man who topped the anticipation list!"

"Just this courage alone is enough for us to offer our sincerest respect!"

He slapped his hand down suddenly.

Smack!

The entire casino's lights went out instantly.

Only the huge crystal chandelier overhead emitted a pallid light, shrouding the poker table.

In the center of the poker table, a massive wheel made of white bone and rotting wood slowly rose.

The wheel was divided into fourteen sections.

Seven of the sections were engraved with a bright red 【True】 character.

The other seven sections were engraved with a pitch-black 【False】 character.

A pallid pointer polished from white bone pointed straight up above the wheel.

"The game is called the 【Truth-Lie Wheel】."

The clown's voice echoed in the vast, silent hall, filled with a morbid excitement.

"After the game starts, all of our supernatural abilities, items, etc., will be completely sealed!"

"This is……an absolutely fair intellectual game!"

Heh!

Hearing this, Su Ming smirked inwardly.

Absolutely fair?

When a scammer solemnly emphasizes "absolutely fair" to you,

that means this scam has already begun!

"The rules are simple!"

The clown extended a white-gloved finger, gently swaying it in the air.

"First, take turns spinning the wheel; whoever the pointer points to becomes the round's 【Questioner】."

"Second, the 【Questioner】 may ask any one person other than himself a question."

"Third, and this is the most crucial point!"

The clown's voice suddenly turned sharp, brimming with undisguised malice.

"After spinning the wheel, the base of the pointer will randomly light up 【True】 or 【False】!"

"If 【True】 lights up, the 【Responder】 must tell the truth!"

"Once the wheel judges it a lie, then……"

"Bang!"

The clown made a shooting gesture, issuing an exaggerated sound effect.

"The 【Responder】 will be eliminated immediately!"

"If the base of the pointer lights up 【False】, the 【Responder】 may choose to tell the truth or to lie!"

"But everyone else will vote, judging whether the 【Responder】's answer is true or false!"

"If the majority judges incorrectly……"

"then everyone who voted wrong must……bang! be collectively eliminated!"

"But if the majority judges correctly……"

The clown's gaze behind his mask locked firmly onto Su Ming.

"Then, the 【Responder】……bang!"

"eliminated!"

Su Ming nodded to show he understood.

He's got this!

Lies are as fixed as yesterday's fate; I sneer at today's fortune, which I must strive for!

Afterwards, he laughed and stretched lazily.

Sounds okay.

I just wanted to ask...

This elimination, specifically refers to... death?!
