Bob has closed the massive iron door. Everyone is now unlocking their envelope except for one person – that person is Ivy.

Rist asked Ivy, "Won't you open your envelope ?" Ivy replied, "No need. Do you guys know why I've won so many gambles without ever losing? It's because I possess a unique ability that helps me achieve victory in such games!"

(Rist): What do you want to say, Ivy?

Ivy said, "I am capable of reading what's written inside this envelope. My eyes can penetrate and see everything, even the truth amidst your lies."

(Rist): Do I look like a fool?

Ivy replied, "Well, I haven't opened the envelope yet. If I reveal whats written inside the envelope without opening it now, will you believe me then?"

Rist said, "Alright, tell me."

Ivy responded, "Inside the envelope , it's written, 'The sky falls only on the unfortunate.'" Ivy's words matched exactly with what was written inside the envelope . Rist fell silent.

(Jebi): "No more gains from lying. I know how you can read what's inside the envelope ."

(Rist): There must be some trick here. Ivy won't be able to open the envelope because we have a rule against opening the envelope before the game starts.

(Jebi): Mr. Rist, consider what Mr. Bob said. He mentioned not opening the envelope before the game starts, but he also stated that the cameras would be off. So, anyone can see what's inside by opening the envelope within this hour.

(Rist): That's correct, but it's apparent that Miss Ivy hasn't opened her envelope .

(Jebi): There's a way to open the envelope without tearing the paper. I caught Miss Ivy in a lie because she made a mistake; that is, the tea set is right in front of me.

In Ivy's expression, a slight change was noticed.

Rist asked, "What's the connection between tea and the envelope ?"

Jebi was explaining a method to open an envelope without tearing it by using the steam from the tea kettle. When this steam enters in the envelope , . both the glue and the paper get warm, taking a moment, if you look closely you will notice the envelope glue is starting to melt. You can easily open the envelope with a kitchen knife or something similar, and easily read what's written inside. There are many things in the kitchen, and there is also an glue. When you were making tea, I was in the kitchen, but in a short time, I leave from there. Then, you open the envelope with the steam from the tea kettle, later use the glue to seal the envelope again, right?

Evil lady...

Ivy said, "You got me," with a smile.

Everyone turned their attention towards the envelope. It has been mentioned before that there is a riddle written inside the envelope. The riddle reads, "the sky falls only on the unfortunate "

Observing the riddle, Jebi stays focused for a few moments, then sits down in a large chair in the room.

Rist questions Jebi's intentions, saying, "You won't go looking for the diamond."

In response, Jebi states, "No, my body is a bit under the weather." Ivy and Rist both head towards the third corridor in search of the diamond.

35 minutes after the game began,

Jebi was seated in the chair. Ivy and Rist stood in front of Jebi.

Ivy asked, "When did you find it?"

Jebi replied, "Before the game even started."

Rist questioned, "Who knows we won't be able to find the diamond, how did you find it then?"

In response, Jebi explained, "When I first entered the third corridor, I realized there was nothing in the corridor, no tools or anything, it was completely empty. Before the game started, when I reached there, I had a suspicion about where the diamond could be. Since there were no tools there, I thought the diamond might be hidden within the wall, that is, inside the bricks. Then, I created a mental image of the entire tunnel. After thorough observation, I could deduce that even if there was a diamond hidden inside the bricks, it would be impossible to find it. The tunnel is constructed in a way that if one brick is removed, most likely all the bricks will fall, and the tunnel will collapse. That was my suspicion. The truth revealed from that riddle is breaking through misfortune into the sky. Probably, when they say 'sky,' they refer to the ceiling of the tunnel. So, breaking through misfortune means breaking through the ceiling of the tunnel. That's why I didn't waste my energy searching for the diamond."

Rist said, "We've also observed all these things carefully, so we understood."

Ivy, addressing everyone, said, "Then, the only way left for us now is to compel others to accept defeat."

Jebi said, "So, it's here now. Miss Ivy, I have a question for you. You knew all the rules of this game, didn't you? Then why did you go searching for the diamond?"

Ivy replied, "I also don't know who might have changed the rules of the game. In this matter, there must be someone influential. However, we have to consider it as a gamble. Even though I am at a disadvantage here, we still have to consider it as a gamble."

Rist said, "I'm getting quite bored. Let's go grab something to eat. "

Ivy responded, "Oh, do you need to bother? I went and bring something From kitchen ."

Rist continued, "Okay, let's settle this with a game of rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes!"

Everyone agreed. Rist said, "Rock pa—" and in saying so, he sprinted towards the kitchen at his maximum speed. Seeing this, Ivy nudged Jebi and ran towards the first corridor behind Rist, saying, "Sorry, got carried away."

"She understood that push quite clearly." After entering, they secured the iron door in front of the kitchen.

Jebi said, "This method isn't bad. Going into the kitchen locks themselves in so that the other player admit defeat because of the fear of not eating."

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Jebi thought to himself, "She is much cleverer than Rist. Maybe she is the one who came up with this strategy!"

Addressing them, Jebi said, "Anyway, Rist, have you thought about what will happen if I leave this game? Even though I may exit the game, when you and Ivy are left, what will you do, try to make each other lose?"

Ivy, addressing Rist's intentions, said, "Honey, don't pay attention to him. After we eliminate him from the game, I will personally exit as well. Then, the two of us can get married and live a peaceful life."

Jebi thought to herself, "So she is seducing him."

Jebi, addressing their motives, said, "Ivy, why don't you leave now? If you leave later, it won't be a problem, right?"

Rist turned his gaze towards Ivy. Ivy, referring to Rist, added, "I just want to spend more time with you, and nothing else! He is trying to create gap between us."

Rist replied, "I know, honey!"

Jebi thought, "Now there's no point in saying anything to him. Well, I don't care about them."

Ivy, addressing Jebi, said, "Don't worry about our situation; focus on your own. We are deep into the earth. The tunnel here is deep in the soil, so it's quite hot. We'll endure a lot of heat here, so we need to fulfill our water needs. And water is only available in the kitchen, which is now in our possession. Water is another name for life. I hope you, as a wise person, will make the decision."

Jebi thought, "This is true; it's intensely hot here. Any person in this tunnel will feel thirsty every hour. Living here without water is quite challenging, and on top of that, Jebi lacks food."

Ivy, addressing Jebi, said, "You understand you can't win this game!"

Jebi remains silent while Rist, displaying a longing expression, drinks cold water from the fridge. The desire for cold water is prevalent in the heat.

Before Ivy's wish for a refreshing drink could materialize, a dreadful incident occurs, leaving Ivy with no inclination to drink water.

"Water is synonymous with life, but here it has transformed into death. Rist has died for some reason," Ivy trembles and asks, "How did this happen?"

Ivy knows that this deed is not hers, meaning that it is explicitly Jebi's. How a child at this age could recognize and understand the act of killing a person is beyond comprehension. Often, such incidents lead the perpetrator to madness or even suicide. Without professional skills, anyone struggles to keep their mind intact. However, Jebi remains completely calm.

Ivy observes the body for a while. After scrutiny, she concludes that Rist has been poisoned, and there's no doubt about it. However, the question arises about where the poison came from. Everyone has been checked along the way through the tunnel to ensure there is no suspicion. If someone had something poisonous, it should have been confiscated. In short, it seems improbable that anyone brought something poisonous inside. Still, a murder has occurred, and it appears to involve poison.

(Jebi) - "You're right; it indeed happened with poison. And I'm the one who administered the poison."

Jebi is laughing crazily.

Ivy thought to herself " is she really seeing a human?"

(Ivy) - "But I don't know which food had the poison. In other words, I won't be able to eat any food now, as poison might be in some of them."

(Jebi) - "I don't want to eat that food of yours now. You eat your food."

Ivy leave that corridor

And directly addressing Jebi, she said, "Why did you kill Rist?"

Jebi responded, "What are you saying? You were with Rist all this time; undoubtedly, you killed him!"

Ivy's attempt failed. Initially, she thought Jebi had committed the murder, and if pressure was applied, Jebi might admit to it, leading to his expulsion from the game. However, Jebi remained calm and composed.

Jebi said, "You don't have to strain your brain so much; I'm telling you how the poison got here."

Jebi continued, "When I entered the first passage for the first time, I noticed that all the food there would last for a maximum of four days. But Bob said this door wouldn't open until someone wins. So, I thought maybe the diamond would be found within three to four days after opening. However, when I entered the third passage later, I saw that even if we check, it would take at least two weeks for us. So, I was waiting for information from the envelope . But after obtaining the information, you know how I solved the puzzle myself. That is, even before searching for the diamond, I had observed that each brick in the third tunnel was arranged in such a way that even if we find one brick to check, every brick would fall. And the third tunnel would break. As soon as I noticed the breaking of the third tunnel, I came out of the third passage. At that time, you were observing the passage; it was mainly within an hour before the start of the game. Anyway, since I knew that the diamond would not be found, I decided to leave that tunnel."

Jebi nodded, "So, the only way to win this game is to force other to admit defeat. Therefore, I decided to mix poison in the food. It's actually a certain win strategy. If I mix the food with poison, whoever eats it will die, and automatically they'll be out of the game."

(Ivy) - But the question is, how did you manage to bring poison inside?!

Jebi said "Do you know about the poison inside apples seeds? The name of this poison is cyanide. If a sufficient amount of this poison enters the human body, it can cause death within 30 minutes. However, there is no such amount of poison in one apple seed, but in the seeds of 200 to 300 apples, it is undoubtedly present. Here, there are enough apples, from whose seeds I can extract that poison. So, I have prepared it. Since there is a lot of heat in this cave, the demand for water for humans will be very high. That's why I mixed that poison with a water flux in the freezer. A person, in the heat, will go towards the fridge first, and as soon as he drinks that water, his last moments of life will begin."

Ivy said, "And all of this you're doing within the first hour before the game!"

Ivy thought to herself, "That means everything has been planned from before, considering all the events that occurred. This child had thought about what would happen after each event."

Ivy said to Jebi, "But now you've admitted that you killed her, so it will be easy to remove you from the game."

Jebi chuckled and replied, "Well, you still don't know the outside situation . I might not be forced to leave the game just yet."

Ivy responded, "And how is that? "

Jebi said, "Miss Ivy, do you recall mentioning that the rules of this game are not determined by you, and you yourself admitted that individuals of a higher level have altered these rules? Consider why someone of a higher level would engage in such actions! Surely, that person, whether it's me or your adversary, must become our enemy. That individual, no matter who they are, will undoubtedly refrain from opening this massive iron door and will wait for us to be dead"

Ivy responded, "I don't have such concerns. There are many trustworthy here who will surely save me."

Jebi replied, "I am reasonably sure about what I can do! What I am thinking is, if they continue doing what they are doing, then your trustworthies will never save you."

(Ivy)- Whom are you suspecting?

(Jebi)- The owner of Morality, Blast. Surely you don't believe that. But i am sure that idiot nitro is the one that makes this foolish plan. Trust me; the office employees of nitro can come up with better plans. In this way...

Suddenly a voice could be heard from the speaker.

" You fucking asshole, who do you think i am! How could you say those words about me now die"

Jebi, without dismissing Nitro's words, stated, "You've seen it; I said this is Blast's doing. This is the evidence. I knew you would later ask how I could trust it, so I did this."

Jebi fully understands Nitro's mentality. Knowing that Nitro won't handle his anger well, especially when compared to the office staff, Jebi realizes that Nitro won't tolerate any disrespect in front of politicians who already know him. In such situations, Nitro might express his anger inappropriately. Jebi plans to use this to his advantage as per his convenience.

" jebi asks Nitro, why don't you come inside and kill me? In response, nitro said " Sir blast already told me never open that door "

"Jebi tells himself, 'Blast has forbidden me to come inside, keeping in mind my special ability. Since no one knows what my special ability is, he hasn't taken the last risk, which is a bigger issue.' Someone in 'Reds' have spoken about me. Since only the Red knows about ability. Another betrayal of trust."

"Miss Ivy, I hope you can now understand the current situation." Jebi grabs the chair in front of her, throw it to the camera, and says, "If you want to survive, get out of that game now. I know a way to survive."

(IVY) - Then I am bound to trust you. Alright, if you win, I accept it. I may have lost, but now, if you can get me out of here, you're the winner."

"Jebi said, 'We've been here for almost four hours, hasn't it?'

(IVY) - 'Hmm, that's right.'

Jebi continued, 'Within the next hour, Ivy, we'll be out.'"

"Jebi thought to himself, 'An attack is about to begin within moments.'

4 hours 37 minutes

The attack started inside the building. A group wearing masks was seen initiating the assault on the building. In no time, they took complete control, overpowering everyone. Each had well-equipped firearms. The security inside the building tried to retaliate, but being outnumbered, they quickly succumbed."

"Jebi rushes towards the door upon seeing it open. Ivy gazes at the door, but after it opens slightly, a grenade comes in from above.

Jebi says, 'This will be a sleeping grenade.'

While saying this, Jebi falls asleep. Ivy also succumbs to sleep. After the gas effect diminishes, a person with a mask and a gun enters the tunnel. The person who threw the sleeping grenade unveils their face – it's not just anyone but Droom."

"Droom instructs his men to take Jebi's unconscious body to the second floor and then puts on his mask again.

In the hall,Everyone saw jebi unconscious body. Droom proceeds to the hallroom with his gun. There, all the politicians are gathered. Droom addresses them, 'You 12 important politicians are here. If we don't receive 90 million from the government for each of you, you will die right here. Tell the government about the 90 million now by making a phone call.'"

"Jebi regains consciousness. Conciseness was not accurate; he has woken up. Droom is sitting in front of him. Jebi was lying down, but now he sits up. Both gaze at each other.

(Jebi) - 'How's everything?'

(Droom) - 'Just as you said. Everything is fine, except that we couldn't catch Nitro. He left just moments before the attack.'"

"Jebi asks, 'Is Bob still here?'

(Droom) - 'I don't know about Bob, but everyone else except Nitro is here '

Before the game started, Jebi had told Droom, 'Diablo has a massive influence worldwide. He must be trying to find out who captured President 51. The impact of Blast is undoubtedly known in Germany. It's natural because someone suddenly earning 37 million in a day is suspicious. So, Blast has surely started investigating me. There's a possibility that Blast has learned about me, and he will undoubtedly try to remove me from his path. So, my goal is not just a gamble. My real intention is to use those high-profile individuals to extort money from the government. This way, I can quickly earn money. Droom, within five hours of the game starting, initiate an attack there. Another thing, all of you wear masks and act in a way that disguises your identity "

"Droom responds to Jebi's intentions, 'How can we escape? '

(Jebi) - 'Operate a helicopter from the government. Among the people I've assigned, one knows how to fly a helicopter. Take an important politician with you on the helicopter. Land at a empty space in the jungle. Then hand that politician a mobile phone. There's a car at that clearing; Your team members will escort you.'"

(Droom) - 'Who are the people you've provided?'

(Jebi) - 'They are from a criminal organization in this country.'

Jebi thinks to himself, 'Now I have enough money. The next step is to defeat Blast.'

(Jebi) - 'Leave ivy alone, meaning release the girl who was with me. Let her go, she has regained consciousness by now!

Just wait for me,

Diablo
