Mars sat on the chair in despair, his eyes already completely dull. Now the fourth round has passed. After four consecutive draws, he has only one chess piece left in his hand, and that is the elephant.
And I also have only one chess piece left in my hand. This chess piece is the rat. That is to say, in the fifth round, I am certain to win. There will definitely be no chance of failure at all!
Facing this desperate situation, Mars has collapsed. He sat on the chair, mumbling in a hoarse voice, "I'm finished. I'm going to die."
Looking at Mars, who was like a defeated dog in front of me, there was no trace of sympathy in my eyes. Yesterday, I was beaten up severely by Mars and a few of them. Their arrogant words seemed to still echo in my ears.
I do not pity such a person. And I also do not qualify for pity. Because I am also in this survival game.
After an unknown amount of time, Mars finally came to his senses. At this moment, he looked at me crazily with his eyes.
"Do you still want to compete? There are still four hours left." I said to Mars.
"Compete? Compete your ass. I won't compete." Mars shouted curses. I wasn't angry about this. Knowing that competing means losing, Mars naturally wouldn't compete with me.
"Then what do you want?" I said, looking at Mars.
"Ha ha, of course, it's going to hell with you. Anyway, I will definitely not compete." Mars looked at me viciously and said venomously.
"So that's it." I looked at Mars calmly, but I was extremely nervous inside. Sure enough, after I pushed Mars into a desperate situation, he simply gave up competing with me. Because he only has the elephant, and competing with me is a sure loss.
Since that's the case, he simply gave up and decided to die with me. Anyway, as long as he doesn't compete with me, in the end, there will be no winner. Both of us will die.
Mars's words naturally aroused the anger of the surrounding classmates. Especially Jennifer. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed into the classroom to beat up Mars long ago.
"Mars, are you despicable or not? You are the red side with the advantage. To this extent, do you still want to drag Frank to die with you?" Jennifer said angrily.
"Yeah, you are too selfish. Clearly, you lost. But you want to drag someone else to die with you."
"Ha ha, so what? Anyway, I will definitely not compete with Frank. Unless he voluntarily concedes and counts me as the winner." Mars said proudly. At this time, he doesn't care anymore. Anyway, he is going to die.
He is like a drowning person who wants to pull someone as a cushion before dying. At this time, no matter how others scold him, it is meaningless. Because he has made up his mind to die.
"Go to hell. Voluntarily concede. You don't deserve it!" Jennifer shouted curses. At this time, he couldn't hold it anymore. He rushed directly into the classroom and was about to punch and kick Mars.
"Stop!" I calmly grabbed Jennifer's arm. Easily stopped him. At this time, Mars wasn't afraid either, still sneering, "Anyway, I won't compete. At worst, we all die together!"
"Boss, he treated you like this." Jennifer's eyes were red and his body was shaking with anger.
"Go outside. Leave this to me." I looked at Jennifer. Jennifer could only glance at Mars resentfully and then turned and walked out of the classroom.
I turned my head to look at Mars. Mars's eyes were bloodshot at the moment. Like a bloodthirsty beast. I knew that at this time, no matter how I persuaded him, it would be meaningless.
But I still spoke: "Mars, let's talk. This round counts as a draw. Let's play another one. Isn't it the best of the three? You still have a chance."
"Forget it. I know I'm no match for you. Let's just die together." Mars shook his head proudly, his face full of sarcasm.
"Then what do you want?" I frowned and asked Mars.
"You concede and let me win," Mars said proudly.
"Are you daydreaming?" I looked at Mars with disgust. Mars's condition is too absurd.
"Don't say that. Anyway, you saved me. I will be grateful to you for a lifetime. Although my family doesn't have much money. But I will definitely take care of your parents." Mars smiled.
"Since that's the case, do as you please. This is just my suggestion." I turned around with disgust and didn't look at him anymore.
Now it was Mars's turn to be anxious. He looked at me and said, "As long as you let me win, I can agree to any condition you propose."
"It's impossible. I don't want to say it a second time. Either start a new round or we all die together." I finished coldly and started fiddling with the chess piece in my hand. Didn't even glance at Mars.
Mars was stunned for a moment and looked at me with a complex expression.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
I calmly held the chess piece in my hand and curled a sneer at the corner of my mouth. I knew Mars was already moved. Mars was originally doomed to die, but now he has a chance to start a new round.
This has caused a huge change in his original thought. Originally, he wanted to perish together with me. But for this kind of creature called human, once there is hope, they won't fight desperately with me.
I will definitely not agree to Mars's condition, but Mars has to agree to my condition. The atmosphere around became tense for a while, and the entire classroom was shrouded in dead silence. And the onlooking classmates were also very nervous one by one. Among them, I saw Diana's figure.
Her eyes looked at me worriedly, and her delicate face was full of concern. But I just glanced at her and then withdrew my gaze. Continued to fiddle with the chess piece in my hand.
I don't know what material the chess piece in my hand is made of. It is extremely delicate. Just like ivory. But I know it's bone. And maybe it's a human bone.
While I was looking closely, Mars came over. It seems that he also experienced a fierce ideological struggle.
"I agree with you. Let's have another round."
"OK." I nodded. I knew Mars would do this a long time ago. After all, unless it is absolutely necessary, he doesn't want to die like this. If it's another round, he might have a chance of winning.
After all, he is the red side with the greatest advantage and has the elephant, the strongest chess piece.
The two of us sat together at the same time. The fourth round of Dead Beast Chess is about to start.
This time, both I and Mars were nervous. Mars was trembling all over, sweating profusely on his face. And I was also trembling all over, but my eyes were full of excitement.
"Come on, let's start." This time, I still made the first move. Placed the chess piece on the table. Then Mars began to choose the chess piece. He thought for a long time before placing the chess piece on the table.
"Come on, decide the outcome!" Mars was like a gambler who had lost everything, waiting for the final chance to turn the tables. His voice was already a little hoarse and he was trembling all over.
"There's no need. I have already won!" I said calmly and then stood up and gently turned over the chess piece in front of me. It was exactly a rat!
"This, this, this, this." Mars stammered as he looked at me, and his face had already turned extremely pale.
"Yours is the elephant, right? I guessed it long ago. You must have been thinking of a way to win against me just now. And the most effective way is to play the elephant in the first round." I said casually. Then I turned and was about to leave.
"How do you know I will definitely play the elephant? What if I play the lion, wouldn't you be finished!" Mars roared and asked.
"It's very simple. In the last round, I thought you would definitely not play the elephant. So in this round, you will also think the same. I won't think you will play the elephant. And play it in the first round. You want to achieve a surprising effect. Unfortunately, I have already seen through it." I shook my head and said.
"Heh, Frank, you are really smart. Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Mars sneered at me and said arrogantly, "Frank, you lost this round."
After saying that, he turned over the chess piece in his hand. It was exactly a lion!
Outside the classroom, the classmates were greatly shocked, and Henry and Jennifer were even more excited to the point of tears. But at this time, I spoke indifferently.
"The one who lost is you, not me."
"Ha ha, are you kidding? Take a good look. This is a lion. Not an elephant! It's you who lost." Mars roared, his face full of excitement.
"Humph, you are really stupid. Don't you think I can't see that you are cheating? What you placed just now was clearly the elephant. Only when I turned my head, you exchanged the chess piece in your palm with the one on the table." I shook my head and said disdainfully.
"Ha ha, yes, even if I exchanged it, so what? I still won." Mars said arrogantly.
"Heh, don't you forget? Cheating is not allowed in the game." I said calmly.
"Stop kidding. Didn't you also exchange the chess piece in the second round? Weren't you also not punished." Mars grinned strangely and said.
"I think you are mistaken. I did exchange the chess piece just now. That was when the chess piece landed on the table. It can't be considered cheating. Because before the chess piece lands on the table, you can exchange the card at will. But after it lands on the table, you can't continue to exchange the card. That is cheating." I said with a smile.
"Ha ha, no matter how you bluff. It can't change the outcome of your failure." Mars roared.
"Take a good look at your phone. It's you who failed." I picked up my phone and looked calmly. Mars hurriedly picked up his phone but found that David spoke in the group.
"Because the red side, Mars, cheated in the game, he is given the punishment of beheading. And the yellow side, Frank, because there is no opponent, is automatically judged as the winner."
"No, this isn't true. I didn't lose!" Mars shook his head, but on his neck, a red line was slowly appearing. Feeling the sting on his neck, Mars's face changed greatly. But it was too late. The red line on his neck was getting bigger and bigger, and his throat couldn't make a sound. He wanted to speak. But as soon as he opened his mouth, mouthfuls of blood flowed out of his mouth.
"There is only one reason for your failure, and that is to be my enemy!" I looked at Mars who was about to die, and finished speaking slowly. Then turned and left the classroom.
