Chapter 3: Why are there so many crazy people?

A pistol, a revolver!

It's a real gun!

Xu Yueguang narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the pistol in the man's hand.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, if you want to live, stop talking nonsense.

There's only one way for you to return to reality.

That is, to gamble!"

Click~

The man snapped his fingers, and a dice cup appeared out of thin air on the table in front of him.

"What is this?"

"Don't you dare interrupt me!"

The Scarred Man glared fiercely at the Bespectacled Man who had asked the question; his ferocious expression and gaze immediately silenced the Bespectacled Man.

"You've seen the points on the table, and if you look at your hands, each of you has a chip."

Xu Yueguang raised his right hand, and indeed, a chip had appeared in his hand at some point.

"This chip represents your life. If you bet correctly, you live. If you bet wrong, you die!"

A cruel smile appeared on the man's rough, scarred face, as he sneered continuously at the panicked newcomers present.

"Hehehe, gambling? Is this the only way to gamble?" Xu Yueguang asked with a sinister laugh.

It seemed the Goddess of Fortune was still on his side. The car hadn't killed him; instead, it had made him join this so-called Death Game.

And the first game was based on luck.

Perhaps this was where his luck would come into play.

"Hmm?"

The Scarred Man turned his head, looking at Xu Yueguang in confusion, somewhat bewildered by the laugh.

To still be able to laugh at a time like this, was this person's mind alright?

"Hehehe, interesting." Another laugh rang out.

Li Guang looked over. It was an unnaturally pale foreign man.

Western features, short hair, and a somewhat perverted smile.

A bit like a circus Clown.

Why are there so many lunatics?

Li Guang muttered. Anyone who could still laugh at this moment probably had some mental issues.

"Besides the dice, there's another way to gamble. You can choose one of the two methods."

Li Guang shook the revolver in his hand, then slammed it onto the gambling table with a bang.

"This revolver is also one of your gambling methods.

Shoot yourself in the head. If you survive, you pass. You choose how many bullets to load."

"The more bullets, the greater the reward after surviving."

Li Guang made a gun shape with his fingers and pointed it at his own head.

"Everyone who survives gets a reward.

The abilities and technologies from the anime, movies, and novels you've seen could all be your rewards.

Of course, for better rewards, the difficulty will be greater.

However, I'll kindly remind you here, it's best to choose a more difficult gambling method, otherwise, even if you survive, you might not be able to make it through the subsequent Death Games.

Initial abilities are the most important, and also the easiest way to acquire abilities.

The subsequent Death Games will be increasingly difficult. Do not harbor any illusions.

Also, here, you can only rely on luck. Don't think about playing any tricks."

He looked at Xu Yueguang and the Clown, who were still able to laugh in such a crisis, seemingly warning them not to mess around.

Would these two seemingly abnormal men survive? The game wouldn't care if you were crazy; the chances of survival were the same for everyone.

"The last rule: no attacking anyone, including me.

So, who's first!"

Li Guang looked around, grinning.

"Me, I'll go. I'll gamble with the revolver, one bullet."

The Bespectacled Man, who had just been reprimanded, was the first to step forward. A revolver, one bullet; this was considered the highest probability of survival among all choices here.

Li Guang said nothing, picked up the revolver, removed the extra bullets, leaving only one, and handed it to the other party.

The Bespectacled Man sneered and placed the revolver against his own head.

Everyone watched the Bespectacled Man with the revolver pointed at himself, their breathing slowing by half a beat. They were all tense and curious whether the Bespectacled Man would survive.

Suddenly,

The Bespectacled Man abruptly twisted the gun, suddenly aiming the barrel at Li Guang.

Click, click, click, click, bang!

He fired five shots in a row, and on the fifth shot, a bullet finally came out!

A bullet shot out from the flame, flying straight towards Li Guang.

"Damn it, what kind of f*cking game is this? How dare you mess with me!

I want you dead! Anyway, I've killed people, so one more won't matter!"

The Bespectacled Man's face was somewhat crazed. Listening to his tone, it seemed he had killed more than one person.

Ding~

An invisible barrier blocked Li Guang's front.

"Attacking a Death Game agent, annihilation."

A mechanical voice echoed within the bar.

Boom!

A ghostly blue flame suddenly erupted from the Bespectacled Man's body.

In the horrified gazes of the crowd, it instantly engulfed the man.

The Bespectacled Man didn't even have time to scream, and in the blink of an eye, he was burned to ashes.

Leaving behind only a pile of grayish-white powder...

"He's, he's dead!"

"He's really dead!"

The surrounding people were so frightened they kept backing away.

Witnessing a person being burned to ashes and disappearing before their eyes, this scene left an indelible shadow in everyone's hearts.

Xu Yueguang's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't seen how the flames had appeared just now.

Is this supernatural power?

How truly, interesting!

As interesting as his own luck. What interesting things would he gain in this game in the future?

"Hehehe!"

Watching a person die in front of him, Li Guang felt no pity; instead, he let out a cold laugh.

"Idiot, I told you the rules, and you still dared to attack me. Next!

Don't try any more tricks. Only by winning the gamble can you survive!"

Li Guang warned the remaining seven people around him.

"Hehehe, interesting! I also want one bullet."

The pale-faced foreign man also stepped forward to Li Guang, holding up one finger.

He thought he was some kind of master, but this is all he's got?

Still only daring to ask for one bullet. What are you laughing about?

Li Guang looked at the man with the somewhat sickly smile, feeling a bit disdainful.

However, he still loaded one bullet and handed it to the other party.

What the other party did was none of his business, as long as it didn't violate the rules.

The Clown took the revolver and played with it in his hand, spinning it once, then turned and looked at the crowd.

He pressed the pistol tightly against his temple, grinning,

"Ladies and gentlemen, what is the secret to comedy?"

Click~

He fired a shot, but nothing happened.

"Timing!"

The Clown's smile was unsettling.

Xu Yueguang, however, was unimpressed. He yawned, bored.

Everyone else was also a bit speechless. What was he trying to pull here?

Just as Li Guang was about to retrieve the revolver, he found that the Clown had no intention of handing it over to him.

Instead, he pressed the revolver against his chin again, his eyes filled with madness, his mouth stretched wide,

"So, what is courage?"

Click~

Another shot, making the surrounding people take half a step back in fright.

Lunatic!

Confirmed, this is a f*cking lunatic!

Li Guang's eyebrows twitched. This was the first time he'd seen someone play like this.

Every shot required facing a choice between life and death.

Was this person completely disregarding his own life?

Again!

The revolver could misfire many times, but he could only misfire once!

But the Clown was very lucky.

This time, it still didn't fire a bullet.

The Clown still wore that manic smile, tilting his head and laughing at the crowd:

"Hehehe~ Maintain elegance under pressure~"

This was a continuation of his previous sentence.

Li Guang and the others originally thought that was it, but unexpectedly, the Clown aimed the revolver at his own eye again.

"So, who is the boss among the players?"

Everyone's hearts almost jumped out.

Lunatic!

Is he crazy, playing like this?

Li Guang also took a step back. He had never seen such a brave pervert in his life.

Every shot required immense courage, and this person fired three shots!

Xu Yueguang stood with his arms crossed, listlessly.

This was not interesting at all. Wasn't it just firing three shots in a row? Boring.

Click~

Another empty shot!

Everyone's hearts nearly leaped out of their chests!

"I am the true boss! Hehehe~

Remember my name, Jerome Michael. This name will become a god to all players!"

The Clown's mouth, split open like a slit-mouthed woman, never closed.

Then, under the terrified gaze of the crowd, he finally put down the revolver.

This insane act also successfully made the others look at the Clown with a hint of fear.

"Crazy, absolutely insane!"

"If we ever meet him in the game, we should stay far away from him. This kind of lunatic might do something crazy."

"That's right, with this kind of psycho, no one knows if he'll mess around. If you encounter him, you must stay far away!"

"Holy crap, this young man, isn't he playing with his life, holy crap."
