In the second round of rock-paper-scissors, Jennifer still chose scissors, while Ivan, as he had said, kept using his rock. Jennifer was starting to get agitated, staring intently at Ivan.
The third round of rock-paper-scissors was about to begin. Both of them had raised their arms in the air, and the decisive moment had arrived. Whoever won this round would secure victory.
Jennifer was tense, while Ivan remained calm and collected. As their arms came down, Jennifer chose scissors, and Ivan still used his rock.
Ivan won!
"How could this be? How did you choose rock three times in a row?" Jennifer looked at Ivan with a grim expression. Ivan smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you? I only know how to use rock."
"How is this possible?" Jennifer's face tightened, and his fear reached its peak. Now he only had one life left. This made him feel an unprecedented sense of despair.
"There's nothing impossible in this world. You lost." Ivan glanced at him indifferently and then returned to his seat, playing with his phone leisurely.
"I'm going to be doomed, I'm going to die." Jennifer muttered in fear, and then he immediately rushed to Ivan's side, his voice cold, "I don't believe it, I want to play again."
"Haven't you realized the situation yet? I already have three lives and have won this game. Even if I win against you again, what will I gain?" Ivan spread his hands and said.
"This..." Jennifer looked at Ivan and was speechless. Yes, Ivan had become the sole winner of the death rock-paper-scissors game. That meant there were only three spots left.
The other participants in the game immediately felt tense. Everyone was thinking about what to do next. Even my mood had turned sour.
Originally, there were four spots left, but now it had become three. If we didn't hurry, the three might become two. At that point, we might all die. Thinking about this, my heart started to tighten.
"No, I have to figure out a way." I muttered in fear, and Henry next to me said, "Do you think Jennifer is stupid? Ivan has already said he only uses rock. Why did he choose scissors?"
"Would you believe Ivan's words? This is a matter of life and death." I glanced at Henry, making him speechless. "But even so, if someone really believed he only uses rock, they would lose." Henry said.
"No, he wouldn't lose. Do you know why he said he only uses rock? Because in rock-paper-scissors, rock is the easiest to change. All he needs to do is extend two fingers to become scissors or spread his hand to become paper. That means Ivan can instantly react by carefully observing the other person's movements, so no matter what the other person chooses, he won't lose." I shook my head and said.
Ivan is truly terrifying. Even I, just now, had a very low chance of winning against him. Fortunately, I didn't impulsively challenge him. Ivan has already won this game.
So there are only five people left: me, Jennifer, Jasmine, Amelia, and Potter. Next, if I were to challenge someone, it would definitely be one of these four people.
Among these four, I didn't plan to choose Jennifer because he only had one life and would definitely be eager to challenge someone else. That left only Jasmine, Amelia, and Potter.
Potter could be a choice, but comparatively speaking, Amelia and Jasmine, these two girls, were easier to win against.
I finally approached Jasmine and said slowly, "How about it, are you willing to play against me?"
"Who would want to play against you, you scum?" Jasmine sneered at me.
My face remained unchanged, and I said slowly, "I still have the same thing to say. I don't mind, but don't you care about your life?"
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
My words made Jasmine's face change, and after hesitating for a moment, she looked at me and said, "Fine, I'll play with you."
"Let's go, I'm not going to lose anyway." I sneered.
"Let's go, I can't even win against a loser like you." Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, then we both raised our hands simultaneously.
"Just to let you know, this time I'm only going to use rock." I smiled.
"Trying to trick me like this, don't you think it's too naive?" Jasmine sneered at me. Ivan had used this trick before, but when it was my turn, the result was completely different.
"You can try it." I sneered back.
Then we both raised our hands in the air and slowly lowered them.
Jasmine chose rock, while I chose paper, and I won!
"Well, looks like it's all over now." I smiled and said.
"How is this possible? You chose paper." Jasmine muttered in fear.
"Of course it is." I shook my head and didn't offer any further explanations. In fact, I had just said those words to deliberately mislead her. Jasmine naturally didn't believe I would choose paper. But to be safe, she would still choose rock because scissors would lose, and while paper would win, if I was lying, she would lose.
So she chose rock, even if I chose rock too, it would only be a tie. But she didn't expect me to choose paper. So I won easily.
"Paper, this can't be." Jasmine muttered in a pale face. I looked at her calmly and said with a smile, "You're the naive one. Did you really think this game was fair?"
"Let me tell you the truth. The reason we like playing rock-paper-scissors is that the rules are simple, and it seems 'fair.' The probability of each person choosing rock, scissors, or paper is 1/3, so the probability of winning, losing, or drawing in each game is also 1/3. It seems that everyone has an equal chance of winning. But in reality, when playing rock-paper-scissors, people most often choose 'rock' first! Because compared to scissors and paper, rock can show more strength."
"How can this be?" Jasmine shook her head in disbelief.
I had already won and became the second person to escape this deadly game of rock-paper-scissors, so I spoke without any restraint, "I've seen through all your tricks. You can't win against me."
After saying that, I turned and walked away, completely ignoring Jasmine's screams as she clutched her head in pain behind me. She was done for now, with only one life left. She needed to win two consecutive times to survive, but it was not easy to win twice consecutively, especially when no one else was willing to play with her anymore.
"Hey, I knew you would win, boss. Now Jasmine, this little bitch, is completely screwed." Henry sneered. I nodded, but my mood wasn't particularly happy.
Although I succeeded in winning, Jasmine will die in this game. Although I despise Jasmine, it still weighs heavily on my heart to see such a pretty girl killed by me.
However, no matter what, I still won. Thinking about this, I felt a sense of relief in my heart. I have temporarily escaped from this game of death. If I don't compete with anyone else within these two days, I can survive tenaciously.
Since I already have three lives, there's no point in competing with anyone else. Let's just end it here. I sat in the chair thinking. Just then, I heard Diana's voice on Twitter.
"Congratulations on winning, I was so scared for a moment, I thought you would lose. But you're so smart, you shouldn't have. Looks like I guessed right," Diana said on Twitter.
Feeling relieved after escaping from the game of death, I couldn't resist joking with Diana, "If I died, you'd be a widow."
"Go away with you," Diana said on Twitter.
I smiled and put away my phone. Then I looked proudly at several anxious classmates in the distance. I have become the second winner, so only Jennifer, Jasmine, Amelia, and Potter remain.
Among them, Jennifer and Jasmine only have one life left. Amelia and Potter have no more than two lives, which are not enough to win and leave. Therefore, they must have another life-or-death game of rock-paper-scissors.
"Jasmine, I'll play with you," Jennifer walked over and looked at Jasmine.
Jasmine shook her head pale-faced, "You're like me, with only one life left. Even if I win you, I can't survive."
Jennifer's face changed slightly, but she shook her head helplessly and walked away. Jasmine was completely helpless now, she only had one vote left and was on the verge of hell.
Ryan walked over and hugged Jasmine, comforting her with words, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to save you. You'll be fine."
"I really don't know what to do now, I can only rely on you," Jasmine said as she hugged him and cried. While Ryan comforted her with words, he looked at the remaining few with sinister eyes.
Now there are only four people left in the game, Ivan and I have already succeeded in exiting. The remaining people must do their best to win to take away each other's lives. Especially for those with one vote, they have no choice but to do so.
That morning, Amelia, Jennifer, Jasmine, and Potter didn't compete. They were all suspicious of each other. Afraid that the other person would win. Jennifer tried to find people to compete with, but no one wanted to compete with her because if they lost, Jennifer would come back to life.
Everyone was suspicious of each other, whispering cautiously among themselves. And those who weren't involved in the game were all gloating. I was also chatting passionately with Diana on Twitter.
"What are your plans for the weekend? How about we go to the movies together?" Diana said on Twitter.
"Well, of course, no problem," I said awkwardly on Twitter. To be honest, I wanted to go on a date with Diana. But I was really short of money. With my five dollars, I could do nothing.
