Chapter 386 The Rapidly Expanding "Bottom of the Pot"

Joker's card game, the rules are very simple.

In fact, it is a premise that the size of each card has been determined, and they are constantly compared. Whoever's size card is exploded first loses, and the winner takes all and can get all the "bottom of the pot" bets.

"let's start!"

Luo Xi urged.

"Wait a minute!" The clown sneered again, "Since you are so anxious, I have a more exciting way to play. In each round, we will shoot ourselves in the head with this gun. Do you dare?"

As he spoke, the Joker opened the magazine wheel of the silver revolver, ejected all six bullets, then took out only one, put it in, closed the magazine, and quickly turned the wheel.

Da Da Da~
The mechanical crisp sound was continuous and rapid, but soon returned to normal.

After placing the revolver on the table, the Joker stared at Luo Xi with a provocative look.

"This way of playing is quite novel. That is to say, the gun may have already decided who the winner is before the outcome is decided at the card table," said Luo Xi.

"The moment the bullet penetrates the head, it will generate huge high pressure, crushing the brain matter, and then it will spray out from the gap in the skull. So do you dare to try it?" The Joker said proudly.

Luo Xi nodded: "I think it's good, it's more efficient, so let's add this gameplay."

The Joker sneered and handed over the playing cards.

Luo Xi checked, shuffled the cards, and handed them back.

The Joker simply cut the cards a few times and then turned them over to check the numbers on the cards.

"Seven of Diamonds, an odd number, I'll deal first." The clown dealt the first card to himself, then the second to Luo Xi, and so on. After each of them got two cards, the game officially began.

"The bottom of the pot, now is the stakes from before, it's your life and mine, two cards each. Of course, we have to raise the bet if we want to continue playing." The clown stretched out his hand and flipped it back and forth, his fingers like plucking invisible strings. The next moment, he reached forward and a card appeared out of thin air between his two fingers.

"【Fatal Joke】, this is my treasure. Strictly speaking, this is a card that makes people stay serious, because after using it, whoever laughs will die. I don't actually like this card, so."

The Joker said, throwing the cards into the bottom of the pot.

Look at Luo Xi.

Luo Xi also took out a card. At this time, the clown suddenly said, "Just a reminder, it must be cards of the same level. Otherwise, you will be directly judged as the loser."

Luo Xi put the card down.

The clown leaned over to take a look, a look of horror showing.

The betting card that Luo Xi placed was [Bloodstained Diary].

The cards obtained from Zhou Ya's house.

Perhaps it is tainted with some kind of terrifying aura, and one can see the fear in the clown's eyes.

"Is this one okay?" Luo Xi asked.

The clown nodded and dared not speak again.

Then, the cards were dealt. Luo Xi didn't know the Joker's hand, but his own were the 2 of Spades and the 10 of Clubs.

This is a pretty good card according to the rules of this game.

That is to say, as long as the next card dealt is between the numbers 2 and 10, it will not count. Only if it is not within this range, such as 1, 11, 12, or 13, will you lose.

So from a probability perspective alone, Luo Xi still has a great chance of winning.

The card Luo Xi got was the 9 of hearts, which did not explode.

The Joker's cards don't seem to be bad either, they are the 5 of Spades and the Queen of Hearts.

The card dealt to the opponent is the 6 of Clubs.
It didn't explode either.

"It looks like we both have good luck." The clown glanced at Luo Xi, then glanced at the pistol on the table: "The order of shooting is determined by the number of cards drawn. You are the 9 of hearts, and I am the 6 of clubs. You have the bigger card, so you go first..."

Seeing Luo Xi pick up the revolver, the clown immediately said: "By the way, don't try to shoot me, that's against the rules."

At this time, Luo Xi pointed the gun at his temple and pulled the trigger directly.

Click~
Empty gun.

The probability of one in six is ​​still relatively rare.

Then Luo Xi handed the gun over.

"It's your turn!"

Seeing Luo Xi's expression, the clown was stunned.

He took the revolver and wanted to say something, but in the end he kept silent.

Because the Joker had never seen this kind of person, when he fired the gun, there was not a trace of hesitation or delay in his eyes, no fear, and naturally no feeling of desperate risking everything.

It was like this action, which had a one-sixth chance of getting shot in the head, was as normal and insignificant as walking or waving in the eyes of the other party.

"This guy is also a lunatic!" The clown narrowed his eyes and smiled excitedly.

The second round of betting and dealing begins.

This time, Luo Xi took out a card first and threw it into the 'bottom of the pot'.

"Hehe, you planned to place a bet first because you were afraid that I would play a high-level card and you wouldn't have the money to follow." The clown mocked with all his might, but when he saw clearly what card Luo Xi threw out, he was stunned.

No. 044 [Nightmare].

The bets were actually placed on numbered cards.

And according to what the clown said just now, when one party places a bet, the other party must place a bet of a similar level, otherwise they lose.

This time Luo Xi directly placed a numbered card. If the Joker wanted to make the bet equal, he had to also place a numbered card.

"Are you dumbfounded?" Seeing that the clown remained silent, Luo Xi switched sides and began to mock.

After just a few words, the clown's eyes became bloodshot, as if he was a tomato about to be squeezed and burst.

"If not, just admit defeat." Luo Xi said.

The fangs in the clown's mouth began to grow, and strange noises came from his body.

It's like the bones are growing rapidly.

"Can't play anymore?" Luo Xi laughed with a hint of sarcasm. The clown shivered for a while, and just when Luo Xi thought he would break the rules, he suddenly returned to normal.

The clown laughed strangely a few times, then fumbled in his pocket and finally took out a card stained with blood.

Fell hard into the 'bottom of the pot'.

Luo Xi took a look and nodded.

No. 034 [Magician].

It turned out to be a professional card.

"How about it? Is this one qualified?" asked the clown with a sneer.

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and ignored the other party's question. Instead, he asked, "Guess, if you lose this round, will Wei Si skin you alive?"

The clown's face froze.

Obviously, the question Luo Xi asked just now was very clever.

Because before this, the Joker obviously couldn't come up with better cards, especially numbered cards.

This can be seen from the other party's previous behavior, which seemed like he was about to overturn the table.

But then, the Joker took out number 034. This situation shows a possibility.

Just now, Wei Si used some means to give the clown a numbered card.

Of course, this was just Luo Xi's guess, so he asked that question, and the clown's reaction showed that Luo Xi's guess was correct.

This is where things get interesting.

Luo Xi has already figured it out. He can use this round to squeeze out as many cards as possible from Wei Si.

And it must have taken a lot of effort for Wei Si to accumulate these numbered cards.

Consume the enemy and strengthen yourself, this move will definitely be the best one to go through.

"Deal the cards." Luo Xi glanced at the deck of cards over there.

In order, each of them took a corresponding poker card.

Luo Xi had already calculated how many of the cards in a deck of complementary cards were within his range and how many were outside it. In terms of probability, the possibility of not being blown up in the second round was still greater than that of being blown up.

However, this way of playing is bound to explode sooner or later, it is inevitable.

It may be in the third round, or the fourth round, and with each additional round, the possibility of exploding the ruler card will greatly increase.

So, the two sides are betting on who will explode before the other.

And because of the way it’s played, the stakes in the ‘pot’ increase with each round, so generally after two rounds, the stakes in the pot are already quite substantial.

That is the case at present.

Both sides have invested four cards each, for a total of eight.

Whoever wins gets all eight cards.

It can also take the lives of its opponents.

It can be said that this kind of gambling is quite exciting. At this time, the clown's heartbeat has unconsciously quickened. The sensory stimulation brought by the coexistence of excitement and fear makes the clown smile very crazy, and his fingers are tapping excitedly, like a pianist practicing fingering in the air.

"Three of Hearts!" Luo Xi showed his cards at this time, but did not explode.

The clown looked at Luo Xi's playing cards carefully, frowning, seeming a little unbelievable.

But he quickly recovered and showed his own playing cards.

Diamond 10.
It also didn't explode.

That is to say, if the two do not kill themselves in the next game of "Russian Roulette", they will definitely enter the third round.

In the third round, the possibility of explosion will greatly increase.

"This time you got the 10 of diamonds. You have a bigger card, so you go first." Luo Xi pointed to the revolver on the table.

The Joker looked gloomy.

They have already fired two shots, which means that the probability of being hit has now increased to one in four.

But he made the rules, and they cannot be violated.

Special mechanisms in the scene ensure the enforcement of this rule, and if anyone violates it, they will be killed by the rule.

The Joker is no exception.

He picked up the gun, resisted the urge to shoot the other man in the head, and pointed the revolver at his own temple, with the muzzle of the gun lowered.

Click~
There was a metallic clang and the gun went blank.

The clown laughed.

He handed over the revolver.

"It's your turn." The clown glared, "I'm looking forward to the moment when your skull explodes and your brains spurt out."

"It took you two more seconds to shoot this time!" Luo Xi said suddenly, then picked up the gun and shot himself without hesitation.

Also an empty gun.

"Are you scared?" Luo Xi asked with a smile as he put down the gun.

The smile disappeared from the clown's face.

He had to admit that he lost in terms of state of mind and madness.

Before this, he never thought he would lose to others in this regard.

He thinks he is crazier than anyone else and has no fear.

But reality slapped him in the face.

The person in front of him was even crazier than him and had no idea what "fear" was.
