Excessive ferocity due to caution

[Joker: Trigger-based Neutral]

[Note: If you lose a game against him, you will die... unless he can't beat you!]

[Weakness: Not obvious.]

[Goal: To revive the family business.]

[Known Ability: Possesses X-ray vision when eyes are open.]

……

This is the Joker's data.

Zhao Yi understood why the clown could always perfectly predict other people's rock-paper-scissors games.

It wasn't based on guesswork at all.

Instead, they cheated using their own abilities.

Zhao Yi did not expose the clown, because it would be pointless.

The third round of rock-paper-scissors begins.

According to Xiang Weishan's information, this time, the clown will definitely use scissors.

So if he wants to win, he has to play the stone.

The teammates standing nearby were obviously aware of this as well, but none of them spoke up. They knew very well that what Xiang Weishan said might not be reliable.

Perhaps what Xiang Weishan said was true, but it's also possible that he just wanted to kill Zhao Yi, so he casually told a false message.

Because they couldn't be sure, they couldn't speak or influence Zhao Yi's judgment.

In the eyes of the four, Zhao Yi was their greatest guarantee of survival in this game.

If even a freak like Zhao Yi can't figure out the Joker's weakness, then they're basically just throwing the game away!

Zhao Yi didn't rush to play rock-paper-scissors, but stared at the clown ghost opposite him and said:

"When I arrived, someone told me you'd choose scissors in the third round, is that true?"

The clown smiled and said:

"I wasn't supposed to tell you the rules of this game."

"But I like you very much, so I can tell you a little bit."

"In the third and sixth rounds, I will use the same rock-paper-scissors game, which will not change, but I cannot tell you the specifics."

Zhao nodded.

That's enough.

He put his hand into the black cloth.

The clown also put his hand into the black cloth.

Everyone held their breath, their attention focused intently on the situation on the field.

They were so nervous that they could even hear their own heartbeats!

This is a golden opportunity for Zhao Yi to defeat the Clown Ghost!

So, what did Zhao Yi... come up with?

Is it a stone?

The robotic arm slowly descended and clamped two pieces of black cloth.

It also captured everyone's hearts.

Suddenly, the black cloth was violently pulled up!

The clown is cloth, and Zhao Yi is scissors!

Zhao Yisheng!

Congratulations, Mr. Zhao Yi!

The clown seemed quite pleased, and extended a finger from his left hand, placing it into the cutting machine. As the blade fell, his finger, along with black blood, splattered out!

"It seems... that guy outside lied to you."

The clown pulled a silk handkerchief from his pocket and elegantly wiped the blood off his hands.

Zhao nodded and said:

"Yes! I will definitely get my revenge... to repay him."

The people standing nearby couldn't help but roll their eyes upon hearing this.

You let it slip, bro!

The clown curiously examined Zhao Yi. Even now, despite having two fingers cut off, Zhao Yi showed no sign of panic on his face.

"Are you so sure... you can get out of here alive?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and asked in return:

"Then how are you so sure I can't leave here alive?"

The clown chuckled.

Zhao Yi extended his right index finger, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Mr. Clown, you really enjoy gambling, don't you?"

The clown hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhao Yi continued:

"Why don't we add a new element of fun to this game?"

"What's so fun about it?"

"Well...we'll talk about it later."

The two continued playing rock-paper-scissors.

In the fourth game, Zhao lost.

In the fifth game, Zhao lost.

The Joker lost the sixth round.

In the seventh game, Zhao lost.

In the eighth game, Zhao lost.

In the ninth game, Zhao lost.

By the tenth round, Zhao Yi had one middle finger left on his left hand and two fingers left on his right hand, namely the index and middle fingers.

Seeing Zhao Yi's miserable state with his hands covered in blood, the clown showed a look of pity.

"Mr. Zhao, it seems you made a mistake in your choice of which finger to cut."

"With the fingers you have left, you can probably only choose scissors or rock."

Everyone looked at Zhao Yi's hand and fell silent.

The clown was right. If Zhao Yi had chosen to leave three fingers on his right hand when playing rock-paper-scissors, he could still have played paper.

But now, he only has his index and middle fingers on his right hand.

When Zhao Yi spreads his fingers, it looks like scissors; when he clenchs his fingers, it looks like a fist.

He lost the option of using cloth.

This means that the Joker is now invincible!

According to the rules, if the two players tie in rock-paper-scissors three times in a row, the clown wins.

In other words, if the Joker throws three consecutive punches, Zhao Yi will definitely lose!

Fang Bai and Bai Shuiji, who were sitting next to him, were pale-faced, and Liu Han was also covered in cold sweat!

Once Zhao Yi dies, the next one... will be them!

Tian Tian was still playing with her tattered teddy bear with her head down, occasionally letting out a laugh. She didn't look up for a long time, seemingly completely unconcerned about the outcome of the game.

Zhao Yi still wore the same smile, showing no sign of panic.

His face was pale, as if from blood loss.

He spoke slowly and deliberately to the clown:

"Mr. Clown, do you remember what I said earlier... about making this game more fun?"

clown:

"Of course I remember!"

"Mr. Zhao, this is the last round of rock-paper-scissors. Although I like you very much, rules are rules... However, if you have any ideas that don't break the rules but increase the fun of the game, I will let you choose your preferred way of dying after the game!"

Zhao Yi said in a gentle voice:

"Let's make a bet."

"What are we betting on?"

"I bet I'll win the next game."

The clown chuckled.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao Yi, I think you may not fully understand your current situation..."

"Given your current condition, it's impossible for you to beat me."

Zhao Yi continued:

"This bet comes with conditions... I want you to close your eyes."

"If I win... you'll owe me a favor, and you'll have to do something for me that you can."

"If I lose, not only will my life be yours, but I'll also give you something!"

After saying that, Zhao Yi took out Pandora's Box, which he had brought from the previous dungeon, from his inventory!

……

[Item: Pandora's Box (Fake)]

[Quality: Blue]

[Description: Ta-da! This is a Poké Ball. You can use it to catch your own Pokémon... Haha, I'm just kidding! Actually, this is a gift. Although it's just a replica, many ghosts still appreciate its craftsmanship. If you give it to non-human entities, it will increase their goodwill towards you!]

[Note: The ghosts inside have been cleared by the system. Reopening the magic box will have no effect.]

……

Upon seeing the box, a glint of possessiveness flashed in the clown's eyes.

After a moment of silence, the clown replied:

"No problem, Mr. Zhao Yi."

"I'm willing to take this bet with you."

Zhao Yi smiled and tapped the table, saying:

"You can open your eyes only after the black cloth is lifted."

"Is there a problem?"

The clown shook his head.

If it's free, why not take it?

Given Zhao Yi's current condition... even if it loses its X-ray vision, it's unlikely to lose.

"Well then, Mr. Clown... this time, please decide to play rock-paper-scissors first, then put your hand under the black cloth and close your eyes."

Without hesitation, the clown clenched his fist and reached into the black cloth.

Then she closed her eyes.

After waiting quietly for three seconds, Zhao Yi's voice rang out again.

"I'm all better now, Mr. Clown. Please have your machine remove the black cloth."

The clown snapped his fingers.

The robotic arm lifted the black cloth covering their hands.

Then, the clown slowly opened his eyes.

Its gaze fell on Zhao Yi's hand, and the eerie smile on its face froze.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Clown."

"I won."

Zhao Yi grinned.

The three teammates around him felt a chill run through their bodies.

That hand, lying silently on the table, covered in blood... was clearly missing its fingers!

Because he no longer has fingers, Zhao Yi's move was cloth!

The clown is made of stone.

In the tenth round, Zhao Yi... wins!
