~8 min read 1,430 words

Hua Changsheng sat down.

Looking at a bullet on the table.

But Lin Xuan didn't wait for her.

He gestured for the three to place their bets.

Chen Ran, Hua Changsheng, and Shu Renjun, the three of them threw out 10 chips.

But the next moment.

The three were startled.

Chen Ran and Shu Renjun both looked at the chips on Hua Changsheng's table.

1010 chips!

At the end of the previous round, her chips were 1030, and the ante for this round was 10 chips.

Logically speaking, she should have 1020 chips left!

Why was it short by 10 chips?

Hua Changsheng also noticed this. Her pupils abruptly shrank, but she very quickly returned to normal.

Chen Ran and Shu Renjun also didn't say anything.

Evidently.

From this moment on, the three of them...

Began Wallfacing individually!

But the three silently noted in their hearts.

'At the end of the first round, the player with the most chips lost 10 chips.'

The second round began.

Since Hua Changsheng won the previous round, she was the first to speak this round.

She glanced at the cards on the table.

7 of Hearts, 3 of Hearts, 7 of Spades.

She then looked at her own hole cards.

3 of Diamonds and 3 of Spades.

A natural full house!

But if the other two had even a single 7 in their hole cards, they would also have a natural full house, and it would be bigger than hers.

She looked at the chips again.

'If I'm not wrong, I have already been spatially transferred.'

'Simply because among the three of us, only my chips changed.'

'I have already retained one bullet.'

'It's best if I lose this round.'

'Chen Ran still has 970 chips left. If all three of us check, even if he wins this round, he will only have 1000 chips.'

'If Shu Renjun wins this round, his chips will only be... 1010 chips, the same as my chips. Not worth it.'

"Raise 10 chips."

Saying this, she threw out 10 chips.

It was Chen Ran's turn.

'If I fold, Shu Renjun will also fold. At the end of this round, I will still have the fewest.'

'Although Hua Changsheng can use the revolver's flaw to avoid shooting me to death, this kind of thing isn't absolute. How can one who often walks by the river not get their shoes wet?'

"Call!"

He also threw out 10 chips.

It was Shu Renjun's turn to speak.

He looked at his hole cards.

Queen of Hearts and 10 of Hearts.

There were two Hearts on the table, and his hole cards were also two Hearts.

He could try for a flush.

But this wasn't the main point.

'Hua Changsheng raised because she wants to get rid of the position with the most chips. Chen Ran called because he also wants to get rid of the position with the fewest chips.'

'Right now there are 50 chips in the pot.'

'If I fold.'

'Hua Changsheng folds, she has 1000 left.'

'Chen Ran wins, he has 1010 left.'

'I will have the fewest, Chen Ran will have the most, and I will take Chen Ran's bullet. I can only call.'

"Call."

All three players chose to call.

Lin Xuan flipped over the fourth card:

Jack of Hearts!

This card made the three of them frown.

"I think, right now, none of us wants to be the player with the fewest chips, right?" Hua Changsheng said, her face not red, her heart not skipping a beat.

Her meaning was very obvious. If they played like her all-in method from just now...

Next time Chen Ran would definitely shove half his chips!

Who would dare to call?

If they win, there would be too many chips on the table.

Gathering seven bullets would summon the Grim Reaper; they would undoubtedly die.

If they lose, there would be too few chips on the table.

Taking bullets continuously, there would eventually be an unlucky time.

Her meaning was...

They wanted to abolish this behavior, and to abolish it, they had to establish a Future Lie.

But there was a problem here.

If there was a spatial transfer, and the three people in the other space didn't establish...

A Future Lie, what should they do?

"Establish one for every round?"

Hearing this, Chen Ran and Shu Renjun thought for a moment and agreed to the proposal.

Thus, the three established a Future Lie.

【If this game does not have a betting limit, and the minimum bet does not exceed 10 chips, my bets for each street in this round will not exceed 20 chips.】

The three established the Future Lie.

A full house is greater than a flush, therefore even if the fourth card was a Heart, and there were already three Hearts on the table, Hua Changsheng didn't care.

A full house of three 3s and two 7s. As long as she didn't encounter a full house of three 7s and two 3s.

She couldn't lose.

'Chen Ran still has 960 chips on the table.'

'Shu Renjun still has 970 chips.'

'I still have 1000 chips on the table.'

'In other words, no matter which of these two wins, my chips will be in the middle.'

"I fold!"

"Raise 20 chips." Almost instantaneously, Chen Ran threw out 20 chips, which was already the upper limit according to their Future Lie.

It could be said that Chen Ran's style of play was basically telling Shu Renjun: No matter what your hole cards are, you can't beat me.

"I fold."

Shu Renjun's choice surprised the other two.

Chen Ran seemed to have seen through his thoughts and slowly flipped over his hole cards: a pair of 7s!

With the cards on the table, he formed four-of-a-kind 7s!

This round ended.

Chen Ran: 1020

Hua Changsheng: 1000

Shu Renjun: 970

This also indirectly confirmed that indeed, a 10-chip token was missing.

Chen Ran picked up the revolver and bullet, flicked the cylinder, and just as it was about to stop, he violently swung the gun to the right to chamber it.

He aimed at Shu Renjun.

Click!

This shot undoubtedly fired empty as well.

The bullet was unloaded.

Placed in front of Chen Ran's table.

Regarding this, the other two didn't pay much mind, but rather stared fixedly at Chen Ran's chips.

The three threw out the ante.

The next moment, the chips on Chen Ran's table suddenly became... 990 chips!

He had 1020 chips just now. Subtracting the 10-chip ante, logically speaking, he should have 1000 chips left.

It was missing 20 chips!

Hua Changsheng:

'At the end of the first round, my chips were short by 10.'

'At the end of the second round, the chips on Chen Ran's table were short by 20.'

'What can be confirmed is that Chen Ran and my chips have been transferred.'

'But, whether the two of us have been spatially transferred is uncertain.'

Right at this moment, Hua Changsheng and Chen Ran felt something in their hearts, and both looked at Shu Renjun.

They only saw...

Shu Renjun at this moment was exuding a profound and mysterious aura all over his body.

He abruptly looked up at Hua Changsheng.

Distance-Free Technique!

In the white world:

【Tell me the process of the first two rounds.】 Shu Renjun's inner voice was transmitted to her ears.

Hearing this, Hua Changsheng frowned slightly. She thought about it and didn't immediately flee from the Distance-Free space.

She recounted the process of the first two rounds.

Not long after.

The two exited the Distance-Free space. Shu Renjun looked at Chen Ran again and pulled him into the Distance-Free space.

【Tell me the process of the first two rounds.】

Chen Ran, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, directly opened his mouth and recounted the process of dealing, betting, winning, and losing for the first two rounds.

Not long after, they also exited the Distance-Free space.

Shu Renjun lit a cigarette.

'There is no problem with the process they described.'

'The people weren't transferred.'

He recalled the rules Lin Xuan stated again.

【If the gunshot fails to kill, the bullet is unloaded, and this bullet will be kept by the person with the most chips. Once a player keeps more than six bullets, they will fully load the Revolver's cylinder with bullets and fire a shot at their own head.】

'Hehe, quite a lot of traps were dug!'

'But...'

'It's useless! In front of my Unity of Man and Heaven Heart Cultivation, the traps you dug are so obvious!'
