Chapter 6

Magic.

As the name implies, extraordinary means.

In public cognition, this kind of method that is like a trick is mysterious.

In areas where education is relatively backward, it might even be called sorcery.

As the Internet becomes more and more developed, the secrets behind magic are revealed little by little.

People no longer blindly believe in this kind of 'technique'.

But now, Su Yang directly stated his talent, which shocked everyone's hearts.

The first reaction is disbelief.

"Magic is just some deceptive trick, do you think I will believe it?" Liu Ming raised his head slightly, his lenses reflecting a mirror-like luster under the dim light.

"Changing into anything you want, there is no such powerful talent in the world; change a gold bar for me to see." Zhao San also didn't believe it.

Guo Xiaoyun tilted her head and examined the confident Su Yang, not knowing what she was thinking in her mind.

Talent is everyone's secret.

It is also the key means to win in this game.

Su Yang laid it all out, of course, no one believed it.

Who would show their hole cards so early?

"There is a talent that can attach perspective to NPCs, why can't there be magic?" Su Yang looked at Zhao San and asked back with a smile.

"You..." Zhao San's talent was seen through, and his face changed greatly.

Just as he was about to strike back in anger, he suddenly noticed that a revolver had been raised.

Yun Peipei's pretty face was pale, tears falling like rain. "I don't want to die, I don't want to die... can someone save me."

She is the only weak girl on the field.

It is easy to arouse the protective desire of men.

However, all three men present chose to remain silent.

This is the game rule, and others cannot interfere.

And no one would save her; after all, the clearance condition is—survive until the last person.

If I save you, who will save me?

Yun Peipei was incomparably desperate, her crying voice spreading throughout the tavern.

Looking at her tearful appearance, Su Yang sighed secretly in his heart, "This is indeed the cruelest game in the world."

"Without one."

"Click!"

The gunshot still didn't ring out, and everyone who heard the movement breathed a sigh of relief.

An unspeakable emotion arose in their hearts.

Perhaps it was not wanting to see the bloody scene of a beautiful woman dying, or perhaps it was substituting themselves into the role of the person about to be executed.

"I don't want to play the game anymore, I really don't want to play..." Yun Peipei covered her face and cried, her pajama sleeves soaked with tears.

"Cry, cry, cry, you only know how to cry, if you don't want to play, die early!" Zhao San was annoyed by the crying and cast his gaze toward Su Yang.

"You still haven't told me, how did you know my talent?"

"Of course, it was analyzed." Su Yang smiled slightly and continued: "Do you remember the first round? When the cards were just dealt, these NPCs all gathered around."

"So what?" Liu Ming leaned closer to the table, looking serious.

"I was still wondering at the time, even though these NPCs speak a language we can't understand, why did they gather around?" Su Yang explained.

"What does this prove? Would you not watch a movie just because you don't understand Japanese?" Zhao San sneered.

Although Zhao San's metaphor was vulgar, Guo Xiaoyun and Liu Ming looked at each other, seeing recognition in each other's eyes.

Indeed, this doesn't prove anything.

"That's right, they could completely watch with the mentality of watching a show." Su Yang nodded slightly. "However, I initially discovered the clues when Zhao San Called in the first round."

"Assuming no one has played this kind of game before, everyone thinks about being safe."

"Without absolute certainty, who would dare to Call at will?"

"Novice players, including myself, first think of playing effective cards and pushing the turn to others, with the goal of self-preservation."

"It doesn't exclude the situation of being bold, but Zhao San's performance in the second round wasn't like this, which is enough to explain a problem."

Su Yang paused and looked at Guo Xiaoyun, whose eyes were gradually becoming clear.

Obviously, these words hit her heart.

Zhao San's confidence when Calling in the first round was too great, giving people the feeling that everything was under control.

"What problem?" Liu Ming asked eagerly.

"He clearly understood Guo Xiaoyun's hand cards and knew what cards she played." Su Yang tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Can't I just be bold?" Zhao San didn't admit it.

"I thought about this problem at the beginning, could it be a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse?" Su Yang rested his elbows on the table. "But nothing similar happened in the second round; Zhao San's confident composure turned into panic."

"That's someone playing tricks on me; it's better not to let me catch who it is." Zhao San snorted coldly.

Su Yang didn't answer and said: "If I had this ability, the first thing I would do is definitely strike first, rather than defend passively."

"Zhao San was the next player twice in the second round, and didn't Call once."

"Then let's assume Guo Xiaoyun was lucky, what about the third round?"

Liu Ming frowned, puzzled. "The third round was Yun Peipei losing."

"That's right, but it was also under Zhao San's instigation that she lost." Su Yang nodded.

"You mean, Zhao San is targeting Yun Peipei?" Guo Xiaoyun smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"No, on the contrary, he wants to help Yun Peipei get rid of me." Su Yang looked at Yun Peipei, who was still not recovered from the aftermath of the fear.

Zhao San's intentions were exposed, but he wasn't angry.

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the evidence?"

Su Yang smiled. "I discovered an interesting thing at the beginning of the third round."

"The NPCs behind me suddenly moved as the direction of my hand cards changed; they are like conscious creatures, very much wanting to see my card type clearly this round."

"Remember what I just said? After Guo Xiaoyun played her cards in the third round, Zhao San didn't choose to Call, but instead pointed the spear at me."

"There is only one reason, Guo Xiaoyun played an effective card this round."

In an instant, many gazes looked at the person in question.

Guo Xiaoyun nodded and said: "That's right, I did play an effective card."

Su Yang smiled even more. "If I were Zhao San, knowing that the previous player played an effective card, I certainly wouldn't choose to Call."

"But what if the next player played an invalid card? And I have no way to Call them, what would I do?"

Liu Ming suddenly understood. "Instigate your next player to Call you?"

"Bingo!" Su Yang snapped his fingers. "Am I right? Zhao San."

Zhao San's bottom line was seen through, and his face was incomparably gloomy. "I clearly saw you play two invalid cards, why did they turn into two Jokers when Called?"

He admitted it!

Liu Ming and Guo Xiaoyun were shocked.

Both of them noticed the movement of the NPCs and had doubts.

Especially Guo Xiaoyun, she guessed that Zhao San had a way to see through her hand cards.

As for Liu Ming...

He didn't think about Zhao San at all, because there weren't many turns left for him, and the position he sat in made it difficult to see the overall situation.

"It's very simple, back to what I said at the beginning, my talent is 'Magic', which can change into everything I want." Su Yang said slowly.

"Impossible!" Zhao San's face was full of disbelief. "There are 26 cards in total, 25 dealt to us, and one left as an eye, what do you have to change?"

The four people nodded secretly after hearing this; if they could change cards at will, it would be equal to violating the game's own rules.

This is not reasonable.

"Changing cards is of course impossible, but what if I just changed the position of the cards?" Su Yang grinned.

Zhao San suddenly realized and said angrily: "You tricked me!"

Su Yang said lightly: "This game itself only has liars and those who are lied to; you can peek at my cards, why can't I trick you once?"
