The second game of Death Match chess is about to begin. I silently retrieved the pieces, and Liu Wentao did the same as me. We all packed up our pieces. It was time for a new round of Death Match chess.
Liu Wentao was obviously much more relaxed this time because he had won one game. He only needed to win one more game and he would have won. He had an overwhelming advantage on the red side, and now with another win, victory was clearly within his grasp.
I was on the most disadvantaged yellow side, with the weakest piece, the mouse. Add to that the fact that I had already lost one game, and the situation looked very bad for me.
Cold sweat trickled down from my forehead, and I trembled as I looked at Liu Wentao, who had a smug face.
Although I consider myself smart enough, my smarts don't really save me from myself at this huge disadvantage. Unable to cheat, my cleverness could not be used.
Looking at the five pieces in my hand, my mind was lost in thought. What should I play in the first round? Now there were only two choices, either to play the rat or the lion.
My opponent also had only two choices, either the bishop or the lion. And there was no doubt that if he use the bishop, then he would have the highest chance of winning, with four out of five. But with his cautious attitude, it is impossible for him to bring out the key bishop in the first round.
There are only two results for him to come out of the bishop, one is to kill me directly in seconds. The other one is to be eaten by the rat that I play. He didn't know when I would come out with the rat, and therefore didn't dare to come out with the bishop directly.
Constant suspicion, constant unease, surrounded both of our eyes. This is the most indispensable preparation for surviving in a normal death-defying game of chess.
Both of us were like gamblers driven to the edge, waiting for our final fate to come. Trembling, I stretched out my hand and gently dropped a piece on the table, and I looked calm.
And Liu Wentao looked at me with a sneer and likewise placed a piece on the table. Then we both shouted start at the same time. And then we turn over the pieces in our hands!
Round 1, Lion vs. Lion, a draw!
With an indifferent face, I tossed the lion aside and then calmly looked at the four pieces in my hand. My mind kept thinking. What to do next. What should I play in the second round?
I was faced with two more choices at this time, should I play the rat or the tiger?
Because I couldn't cheat, I couldn't do anything but think. My intelligence was limited to a very small range. If I could cheat, I could come up with countless ways to easily wipe out Liu Wentao.
But it's impossible to cheat and I'm at a definite disadvantage. Now it seems that I can only play it safe. I can't take risks, and I'm no longer qualified to do so.
It's better to take out the tiger, I said hesitantly. But just as I pulled out the tiger, I suddenly froze. A thought gradually emerged in my mind. Who said it was impossible to cheat? If you use this method, you may be able to succeed!
That's right, I suddenly thought of it, this sure win method of Death Match Chess! A sure win method that can only be used once. If you use it, you will never lose!
I reached out my hand with the intention of opening the card, but just then, my body suddenly leaned to the right. Then the whole person tripped violently. After my body fell to the ground, the chess piece in my hand rolled down to the ground, and three round pieces were spinning on the ground.
"Hurry up and get the pieces back to me." I said anxiously. Then Li Mo Fan we three hurriedly on the ground began to find the pieces back. Looking at the three of us squatting on the ground in a messy figure, the students inside the class roared with laughter.
And Liu Wentao even sneered, "Bai Zhi, I advise you to give up. I'm sure to win this game."
"I'll settle the score with you when I find the pieces." I snorted coldly, then hurriedly picked up the pieces on the floor, three in all. I wiped the three pieces and then returned to my seat.
Looking at Liu Wentao in front of me, although he barely had a calm look. But I could clearly feel that he was incomparably ecstatic inside. It seemed that he already had a sure win.
"Let's get started." My face looked lost and my body was trembling. And this time Liu Wentao was extremely calm, he calmly looked at the pieces in my hand, and then at the same time also selected a piece.
Then we both put the pieces on the table at the same time and shouted start at the same time. Then this time, Liu Wentao was the first to lift his piece. It was the most powerful bishop in Death Match Chess!
"How is this possible?" My face instantly turned pale beyond recognition.
"Hahaha, Bai Zhi you have lost!" Liu Wentao said with a wild laugh. His face was filled with a cocky expression. He kept laughing maniacally, his body was trembling irregularly. Look at my face amazed. He laughed and said, "Bai Zhi, do you want to know how you lost?"
"I want to know." I looked at Liu Wentao and said.
"In that case, I'll tell you. Just when you went to pick up the pieces just now, you left two more pieces on the table. These two chess pieces were the tiger and the leopard."
"Both of these two chess pieces were seen by me. I kept them in my mind. Then when you came back just now, my eyes kept following these two chess pieces. And you did live up to the expectations and came out with one of these two chess pieces."
"And these two pawns are nothing more than a tiger and a leopard. Neither is a match for the bishop. So my playing the bishop is a 100 percent win!" Liu Wentao laughed wildly and squeezed the bishop in his hand. Tears of excitement were coming down his eyes.
"Impossible, you are considered cheating!" I hurriedly spoke in excitement, those eyes full of despair. I had, without a doubt, lost. Liu Wentao had gained the victory.
"Haha, cheating, it's not considered cheating. I didn't look at it on purpose. It's just that you weren't careful. In the end, it's all just your stupidity." Liu Wentao laughed maniacally, his face almost twisted and said.
"No, that's not possible." I kept shaking my head, my mind still unable to accept this reality.
"Haha, accept the reality. You've already lost. You punk, I could beat you up yesterday. Today I can get you to death!" Liu Wentao shook his head and slapped my face with a mocking expression. After saying that he was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." At this time, I suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong? You still want to beg me to let you go? Haha, it's not impossible. This is a game where if you lose, you die." Liu Wentao shook his head and said.
"No, it's just that my bottom card hasn't been opened yet. How can you conclude that you will win?" I asked calmly to Liu Wentao.
"Haha, it's impossible for either a tiger or a leopard to win over my bishop anyway." Liu Wentao laughed coldly, then came to my side and directly flipped the chess piece in front of me.
In this instant, everyone who was watching around was stunned. And Liu Wentao's face was even dumbfounded. The voice muttered in horror, "No, this can't be. How can it be ..."
"You mean, how could it be a rat?" I smiled faintly and cupped the pieces in front of me in my hand. That's right, the pieces I had out weren't tigers and leopards, but rats!
"Impossible, how could it be a rat. I have been observing you. There is absolutely no mistake about it!" Liu Wentao stared with bloodshot eyes and pointed at me.
"You, ah, are still really stupid." I shook my head and said.
Only at this time did Liu Wentao's realization dawn on him, he pointed at me tremblingly and his voice suddenly shouted, "So everything was a trap for you, you just left those two pieces on the table on purpose!"
"Of course, it's so stupid that you only noticed it now." At this time, I stood up with a smile. Gently patted on Liu Wentao's face.
"No, that's not possible, even if you left it on purpose. The pawn you put out is definitely one of these two. It is impossible to turn into a rat!" Liu Wentao roared again.
"I think you are mistaken." I said as I held out two pieces. Then in front of Liu Wentao. I made a demonstration.
"When I was playing chess pieces just now, I actually had two chess pieces in my hand. One was squeezed in my hand, and the other was in the palm of my hand. When I made the move, I switched the mouse in my palm, and the piece in my hand." I shrugged my shoulders and said.
"You, you're cheating!" Liu Wentao pointed at me and said.
"No, it's not cheating, in the end it's all just your stupidity." With an indifferent look, I repeated what Liu Wentao had just said to me, once again.
"No, it won't be." Liu Wentao trembled and sat down on the ground, those eyes were full of disbelief. He originally thought he had won. Could succeed in winning. But only now did he realize that he hadn't won. It was just a draw.
And I sat in my chair with a calm face, the corners of my mouth hooked into a smug smile. This game is already within my grasp.
From the very beginning, I began to layout. I deliberately dropped and left two pieces on the table. These two pieces are all restrained by the bishop, as long as they are identified as tiger and leopard. Then Liu Wentao would definitely play the bishop.
Because as long as the bishop is out, it is a 100% victory, no matter what I play, as long as it is between these two pieces, I will definitely lose. That's why Liu Wentao was staring at me dead in the face just now.
At that time, I had already hidden the mouse in my palm, and then played chess with the two pieces on the table. Liu Wentao was really tricked, at this time, I instantly switched the chess pieces. Then came the scene just now.
The weakest chess piece among the chess pieces, the mouse, successfully hunted down the strongest chess piece, the bishop!
"How about it, do you want to play a third game. Actually, if you don't play, I don't care. Big deal, we all die together." I looked indifferent, but my eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Wentao.
"Play, of course you want to play. Bai Zhi, don't think that if you use intrigue and trickery and win a game against me, you'll be considered a winner. I am on the red side now, and my win rate is definitely higher than yours!" Liu Wentao roared.
"Then let's do it, I can't wait." I said with a smile.
