The three of us soon arrived at a secluded place. It was an alley. Jennifer looked at me, pulled Perrin, and said calmly, "Come on."

"Yeah." I nodded and said. I was also a little nervous at the bottom of my heart. After all, this was my last life. Once I lost, I would lose. Even for an expert at rock-paper-scissors, there's no guarantee of a 100% win rate.

Could I still win this time? I had no certainty in my heart.

Jennifer and I raised our hands at the same time and were ready to play rock-paper-scissors. At this moment, my mind was spinning rapidly. Should I show scissors or cloth? Jennifer was a novice, and the chance of her showing a rock was the greatest. But after all, she had lost once, and maybe she wouldn't do that this time. Then it would be cloth. If I showed scissors, maybe I would win directly.

Finally, I pondered for a moment, and my arm began to fall slowly. Perrin beside me was extremely nervous. She knew that victory or defeat was at this moment. If Jennifer lost, she would completely lose the right to participate.

And if I lost, it was the same. Therefore, this was a battle that couldn't be lost.

The two of us raised our hands at the same time and then dropped them at the same time. It seemed that fate was decided at this moment, and both of us held our breaths at the same time. Then both of us showed scissors!

It seemed that this time, Jennifer became smarter. She didn't choose to show a rock but scissors. She seemed to have guessed that I would show cloth.

It was a draw, and the game continued!

I took a deep breath and thought rapidly in my mind. What exactly should I show this time? Since I had already shown scissors, then I should show something else next.

Should it be a rock or cloth? Jennifer learned her lesson and surely wouldn't show a rock. Then should I show clothes? Thinking of this, a glimmer of inspiration flashed in my mind, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up in a sneer.

Our arms dropped again. This time I showed a rock, and Jennifer still showed scissors. I won!

"How is this possible?" Jennifer looked at me with a pale face, and Perrin beside her was almost fainting.

"You did learn from the lesson of the last failure and didn't choose to show a rock for the first time. Instead, you chose scissors. That's very good. But for the second time, you made a mistake. Scissors can't be shown twice in a row."

"Why can't scissors be shown twice?" Jennifer gritted her teeth and looked at me.

"It's simple. Because scissors have the lowest win rate. Therefore, except in desperate situations, scissors can't be shown twice in a row." I shook my head and then turned away without looking at her.

Because I was afraid of feeling guilty. I had taken away her only life. Now she had no life left. It could be said that she had been eliminated from this game.

This deadly game of rock-paper-scissors requires sufficient chips to continue. And once it becomes zero, it's equivalent to failure.

"I'm really not your opponent. I thought I could defeat you unexpectedly." Jennifer said with a wry smile. Her body collapsed on the ground. And Perrin beside her looked at me angrily, with tears constantly flowing from her eyes. I knew she must hate me.

Jennifer glanced at Perrin beside her and then said helplessly, "Don't hate Frank. He's the same as me. We are both victims of this game."

"But what about you? You have no life now." Gou Hongyun cried as she looked at Jennifer. Jennifer shook her head with a pale face and said in a difficult voice, "There's no way. I can only quit. I'm definitely lost."

Perrin didn't speak but hugged Jennifer and cried bitterly. There were also tears in Jennifer's eyes. But soon she controlled her emotions and looked at me, "Frank, I lost to you, and there's nothing to say."

"I can't go on anymore, Frank. You're so smart. You must be able to survive. Then find the murderer for me and take revenge for me." Jennifer said.

"No problem," I said with difficulty, glancing backward hard, then turned my head and left directly. I was afraid that I couldn't control my emotions at all. After all, the feeling of pushing a person into hell was truly too painful.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

I had no feud with Jennifer. Although we were classmates, we didn't have much interaction with each other. But at this moment, for survival, I had no choice but to push her into hell. This was definitely a cruel thing for me.

After walking out of the alley, my mood was extremely depressed. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky had become much darker. But looking at my phone, I still forced myself to be energetic because I hadn't won yet. I still needed one more vote.

Now there were only two people in front of me, Potter and Amelia. These two would be my next targets. Among these two, Potter was very smart, and I couldn't see through him at all.

And the other one, Amelia, was much simpler. She was a girl who got along well with boys. She was rather pretty. She just liked to hook up with rich and handsome guys. And she used to mock me often.

"I'll take her as my next prey," I murmured as I looked at my phone. Once a person is driven to a desperate situation, they can overcome fear and do unimaginable things.

And I was undoubtedly such a person. If in the past, I couldn't imagine that I would kill someone. But now I had to do it. As long as I took one more life from

Amelia. I could successfully escape from the game.

Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a lot. I picked up my phone and sent a message to Amelia.

"Where are you? Do you want to compete with me?"

Soon, Amelia sent a text message: "No, I'm already competing with Potter."

My face looked a little ugly. It seemed that Amelia and Potter weren't idle during this period. They had actually started competing with each other. According to this, the third winner was about to be born, which was extremely urgent for me.

I felt as if death was approaching. Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth and glanced at my phone. Then I returned home. Now I had no way out.

Potter should have already started competing with Amelia now. The third winner will be born from the two of them. In this case, there's only one spot left.

But I have no way out now. Thinking of this, I felt very annoyed. Sitting on the bed, I took out the Taigong Compass and looked at it. The Taigong Compass had an exquisite appearance. Who could believe that it was something from thousands of years ago?

After all, the war of King Wu against Zhou was history that happened thousands of years ago. Looking at the Taigong Compass in my hand, I carefully fiddled with it. But after fiddling for a while, I didn't know how to use it.

Compasses like this were things from ancient times. Modern people simply wouldn't know how to use them. There were countless characters and scales on it, and they were all ancient texts.

I looked around and didn't know how to use it. There was no instruction manual for this thing either. Looking at the natural magnetic needle constantly rotating. I puzzledly fiddled with it for a moment.

How exactly should this thing be used? Thinking of this, I hurriedly turned on the computer and checked the usage method of the compass. Soon I knew how to use the compass.

But even so, looking at the bunch of ancient texts in the compass, I still had a splitting headache. Compasses like this were used to look at feng shui in ancient times. There were engraved Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Celestial Gang, and Earthly Evils.

Without decades of experience, it's impossible to understand this kind of thing. This made me look at the Taigong Compass in my hand with an ugly expression. Could this thing be useless?

No. Since it was claimed to be a divine tool that could predict the rise and fall of dynasties, then perhaps there were some incantations. Thinking of this, I hurriedly opened my phone and made a call to my grandma.

The call was answered by my aunt. When I asked her the question, my aunt quietly said, "Frank, don't play with that thing randomly. It's very dangerous."

"Aunt, tell me quickly how to use the Taigong Compass," I said helplessly to my aunt.

"The Taigong Compass can predict the future. But precisely because it's too powerful, every time you want to use it, you have to pay some price. And the more things you want to predict with it, and the larger the time span, the more price you need to pay."

"It is said that the Taigong Compass can even predict the rise and fall of a dynasty. Therefore, every generation of emperors hoped to obtain the Taigong

Compass to predict the future of the imperial court. But to predict the future of the era, a huge price is needed. During the Qing Dynasty, the Taigong Compass was activated once, and that incident caused many deaths."

"Aunt, I'm not in the mood to listen to your history. Just tell me the usage method quickly." I roared in the phone. Finally, my aunt taught me the usage method of the Taigong Compass.

I happily put down my phone, looked at the compass in my hand, then bit my finger and pressed it on the compass. According to my aunt's words, I recited a few incantations. Then the Taigong Compass started to absorb my blood.

I knew that I had succeeded.

The Taigong Compass would absorb my blood. The bigger the question I asked, the more blood it would absorb. Therefore, my aunt repeatedly warned me on the phone not to ask some big questions.

For example, the rise and fall and extinction of this era, whether China will become the new hegemon of the world, and so on. If I asked such questions, the compass would suck up all my blood because every prediction of the era requires a huge price.

Fortunately, I had no interest in the future of this era. Watching my blood constantly being absorbed by the Taigong Compass. At this time, I slowly said, "Taigong Compass, tell me. What is Jasmine's fatal weakness?"

After absorbing my blood, the entire copper-colored surface of the Taigong Compass instantly burst out with a strange pale red color, making the brass-colored compass immediately become as pure and dazzling as copper. At this time, a blood-colored character slowly floated out from the center of the compass, neatly writing a traditional Chinese character for poison.
