Chapter 168 Are you not convinced? Come and hit me?

When Jiang Zheng heard what Xia Linlin said, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Good guy, the little kitten is really this kind of thing at heart. It seems that there are really few normal people around me.

Although Xia Linlin here is just a phantom, her personality and other aspects are no different from the real person.

In other words, Xia Linlin in the real world is also someone who can do such a thing, if she thinks it is necessary.

Seemingly seeing Jiang Zheng's strange expression, Xia Linlin raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile:

"What's wrong, President? Are you scared? That's really disappointing."

"How is it possible? If you really want to play this kind of game, then I must be Feng."

"By the way, the poisoning process of strychnine is very painful."

Looking at the two packets of powder in her hand, Xia Linlin said in a leisurely tone like telling a story:

"After drinking these extremely bitter poisonous powders, the human body will experience cataleptic convulsions, accompanied by respiratory muscle spasm, and eventually suffocate due to inability to breathe. This process usually lasts for several minutes."

"."

"Although it is only a few minutes, these few minutes may be longer than the past ten years. We will continue to pray that we will die quickly to avoid this inhuman torture."

Suddenly, Xia Linlin clasped her hands together, with a trace of crazy chaos in her eyes, and said loudly:

"Of course, only such a wonderful death can be worthy of the shocking showdown between me and the president, hehe, hahahahaha."

This girl is completely crazy, or is this the most real her?

According to what Jiang Zheng knows, the "phantom" in the palace is outside all the memories and personality of the owner.

At the same time, she will show her truest side without reservation, which is equivalent to stripping away all disguises of her true self.

Xia Linlin usually looks timid and timid, and stutters when she meets someone she doesn't know.

But the real her is obviously not so timid. Rather, she is a daring lunatic with strong romantic feelings at heart.

When Xia Linlin finished speaking, Jiang Zheng just sighed, turned to Black Jack and asked:

"By the way, can we play the bet according to her rules?"

"Of course." Black Jack nodded and said righteously:

"Game participants can discuss the appropriate gambling method themselves, as long as both parties agree."

".I see, I understand."

The devil cannot lie, and every word he speaks is equivalent to having the benefit of the rules.

Therefore, Jiang Zheng also raised the corner of his mouth and said to Xia Linlin, who had a crazy look in his eyes:

"In that case, let's get started. Although I prefer a battle of wits, it's also fun to try pure luck occasionally."

As soon as he finished speaking, two transparent glass water glasses suddenly appeared in front of Xia Linlin's table.

The cup contains about two hundred milliliters of purified water, showing a natural and clear color.

But as Xia Linlin added two packets of powder into the two cups with a strange smile, the transparent water became slightly turbid.

"Strychnine" is a potent poison that has no color in itself, so it is logically suitable for assassination.

But even so, this stuff has a very serious problem, that is, it tastes very bitter and is almost impossible to swallow at high concentrations.

After preparing the two glasses filled with water, Xia Linlin made a "please" gesture to Jiang Zheng and said with a smile;

"Since I put the poison, it's up to you to choose the cup, although I actually don't know which cup contains the poison."

For some reason, Xia Linlin's words always give people a high degree of credibility, as if she doesn't care at all who drinks the poison.

At this time, Jiang Zheng stared at the two cups and observed them carefully, trying to see if he could see any clues.

At least from the outside, the powder blended into the two cups is almost identical.

In other words, you can’t judge by what’s in the cup. Then try psychological tactics?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng pointed to the cup on his left and said:

"I choose this. No, let's think about it again."

When Jiang was pointing to the cup on his left, he had quietly activated his slowing down ability.

Carefully observe the subtle changes in Xia Linlin's expression to see if she shows any signs of weakness.

Assuming that Xia Linlin knew which cup was poisonous, Jiang Zheng's eyes might have flashed with joy when he chose the poisonous cup.

Similar observation skills are common in poker, so skilled gamblers will try to be as quiet as possible to avoid others seeing the quality of their cards.

But obviously, Xia Linlin is not such an easy opponent to deal with.

When Jiang was tentatively choosing the cup on her left, her crazy and chaotic eyes showed no fluctuation at all.

The whole person is like a girl doll exuding madness, and no intention can be read from her face.

It seems that relying on such small means is not enough. The little cat's psychological quality is much stronger than I imagined.

After some testing, Jiang Zheng finally chose the cup on the left.

As Jiang Zheng made his choice, the water glass on his left floated in front of him.

Looking at the slightly turbid cup in front of him, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but swallow slightly.

After all, this was drinking poison, so it would be a lie to say that he didn't care at all.

Although the "text transfer ability" can be used to transfer toxicity to other places.

For example, transfer to the "ball-shaped god of death" that Jiang Zheng always carries with him.

But the key point is that if the cup in his hand is really poison, it will be useless even if the poison is transferred.

After all, as long as Xia Linlin didn't die after drinking the water in the cup, she would be convinced that what Jiang Zheng drank was the poison.

In other words, there seems to be no sure way to win this bet. Can we really only bet on the 50% probability?

However, just as Jiang Zheng was raising his glass of water and thinking this, Xia Linlin, who was sitting opposite, suddenly laughed and said:

"President, if you are afraid, it doesn't matter if you don't drink the water in the cup."

".What's the meaning?"

"Since only one of the two cups contains poison, as long as one party drinks it, the winner will be determined, right? Then let me do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Linlin raised her head without hesitation and drank all the water in the cup!

Her movements were very fast, without any hesitation, giving people a sense of heroism that completely put her life at risk.

What? Jiang Zheng was a little surprised to see Xia Linlin drinking the water in her hand so directly.

What are you doing? You didn't let me drink with you? Is she so confident that she won't drink poisonous water?

Generally speaking, when playing this dangerous life-betting game, both parties must drink the water in the cup at the same time.

Otherwise, if only one party drinks, and the other party regrets not drinking, then the drinking party will take a big risk in vain.

But Xia Linlin had no such petty thoughts at all, and drank it all without hesitation, risking her own life.

After finishing the drink, Xia Linlin turned the cup over, gestured to Jiang Zheng, and said with a smile:

"Don't be surprised, just think of it as my special care for the president. Who makes people like the president quite a lot, hehe."

If you just look at her expression at this time, I'm afraid everyone will think that she is really a quiet and cute little girl. But who would have thought that such a quiet little girl could drink poisonous water, or a liquid suspected of being poisonous, without changing her expression.

But just when Xia Linlin drank the water in the cup first and showed a calm expression.

A strange thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Zheng's mind. He suddenly realized the problem.

Something's wrong. Something's wrong. With Xia Linlin's character, is it really possible for her to simply bet her own life?

If Jiang Zheng guessed correctly, Xia Linlin's character was somewhat yandere and arrogant.

If she really had a traditional yandere personality, then she couldn't just bet on her own life. She should have wanted to drag Jiang Zheng along with her.

But in fact, it was not the case. Xia Linlin had no intention of letting Jiang Zheng drink the glass of water. Instead, she seemed to be trying her best to dissuade him from drinking it.

Yes, since Xia Linlin has drank the water, then just see if she will suffocate to death in pain to know who wins and who loses.

There is no need for Jiang Zheng to drink this glass of water anyway, and there is no need to bet on the 50% survival rate, right?

If you think about it this way, you have completely fallen into the trap of the little girl in front of you.

Suddenly, Jiang Zheng took a deep breath, raised his hands and applauded Xia Linlin.

Bang bang, three crisp applauses echoed in the hall. Xia Linlin raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully;

"Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like you are applauding my bravery and heroism."

"Of course not, I'm just applauding your cunning and scheming."

As Jiang Zheng spoke, he picked up the water glass and said with a smile:

"You almost fooled me just now. In fact, there is no poison in these two cups, right?"

".you sure?"

"Sure, this is your sure way to win in this game. You don't need to bet your life on me, just make me dare not drink this glass of water."

If you think about it carefully, this is actually a very simple truth, and it is also the only way to win in this kind of game.

If one of the two glasses of water is really poisoned and the opponent has to choose, then winning or losing will really depend on God's will.

But Xia Linlin's move can dissuade the opponent from drinking water and make the opponent lose without a fight.

The method was surprisingly simple, that is, the powder Xia Linlin just poured into the two cups was not poisonous and was all fake.

After pouring the non-toxic powder into the cup, she first took the initiative to drink up her cup in front of the other party, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

This creates the illusion that "there is no poison in her cup, and the poison must be in my cup."

In addition, Xia Linlin just made the poison's effect process very scary on purpose.

The purpose of saying "very painful" and "suffocating for several minutes" was to scare Jiang Zheng.

If he didn't dare to drink the water in the cup knowing that it was poisonous, he would have no choice but to lose without a fight.

Of course, in fact, most people really won't drink in this situation. After all, it is human nature to avoid harm.

Even if you know you are going to lose this game, you will lose anyway. Losing directly is better than drinking poison and being slowly tortured to death.

But now that he had deduced the whole situation of the bet, Jiang Zheng also raised his water glass and smiled at Xia Linlin:

"It's a pity that you seem to underestimate me a little bit. Cheers."

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the rim of the cup to his lips, preparing to drink the water in the cup in one gulp.

But what people never expected was that when Jiang Zheng's lips just touched the water in the cup, a strong bitter taste rushed out of the water!

bitter! Very bitter! It’s more bitter than the traditional Chinese medicine Jiang Zheng drank when he was a child! It doesn’t taste like normal boiled water at all!

The moment he reacted, Jiang Zheng frowned and held the saliva in his mouth without swallowing it.

what happened? Is this water so bitter?

Could it be that she didn't lie and my reasoning was wrong?

Did she really add strychnine to one of the glasses of water?

When she noticed the change in Jiang Zheng's expression, Xia Linlin shook her head and said with a smile:

"President, didn't you say I didn't poison the water? Why didn't you drink it?"

After seeing the playfulness and pride in Xia Linlin's eyes, Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth first, and then swallowed the water with a gulp.

No problem, there is no problem with my guess. If Xia Linlin wants to defeat me, she can only choose this tactic.

No matter how bitter the water in this glass is, it shouldn't be the toxin of strychnine, just some kind of bitter powder.

Goo-goo-goo-goo.

In front of Xia Linlin, Jiang Zheng raised his neck and drank everything in the cup.

Then he turned the cup over and poured it on the table, sneering:

"Okay, dear kitty, let's just wait and see who among us will die of poison here."

"."

After seeing Jiang Zheng's decisive move, Xia Linlin was silent for a while.

Then he sighed slightly, showed his usual smile and said;

"No need, you win. Just as the president guessed, there is no poison in these two cups."

Sure enough, Jiang Zheng was slightly relieved when he saw Xia Linlin admitting his failure.

It is certainly impossible to say that he was not nervous at all when he drank that cup of bitter water just now.

But out of confidence in his own reasoning, Jiang Zheng bit the bullet and drank the water, which also allowed him to win the bet.

It has to be said that Xia Linlin was really cunning. While emphasizing that "strychnine" had a strong bitter taste, she added extremely bitter powder to both water glasses.

If you were a less determined person, you would have immediately flinched if you were exposed to a little bit of bitter water, and would not dare to drink any more.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but said to Xia Linlin:

"I didn't expect you to be so cunning at first. You actually prepared such a sure-fire way to win. I almost got into your trap."

However, Xia Linlin shook her head and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to win. The main reason why I chose this tactic is because I don't want to poison the president, otherwise I will feel bad, hehe."

Compared with the chaos, madness and morbidity that Xia Linlin showed at the beginning of the gambling game.

Now she behaves very normally when facing Jiang Zheng, even though the rope has been wrapped around her slender neck.

That's right, as the game ended, Black Jack sighed and said in a regretful tone:

"Is it another cheating behavior that was caught on the spot? Now, player Xia Linlin is sentenced to lose the game and needs to be punished."

Just like the punishment Jiang Tao received before when he was caught cheating, Black Jack snapped his fingers and the hanging rope quickly retracted upwards.

Xia Linlin's petite body was about to be pulled up by the neck, but at the same time, a "hissing" sound came from the air!

What? Suddenly, Black Jack frowned and looked at the man who suddenly rushed into the air, grabbed the execution rope and tore it into pieces.

After Jiang Zheng fell back to the ground and pulled away the rope around Xia Linlin's neck, Black Jack couldn't help but say in an unpleasant tone:

"Mr. Jiang Zheng, it is very impolite to interrupt the devil's execution. You'd better..."

"Shut up." Before it could finish speaking, Jiang Zheng turned to Black Jack and sneered:

"It's not written in the rules that I can't interrupt the execution, so it's up to me to decide whether or not to do so. If you're not convinced, you can come down and deal with me yourself. Provided you have the guts."
