Chapter 498 The Imperial Princess and the Rebel Leader 11
The most common way to play the revolver game is to put a bullet into a magazine with six empty spaces, then rotate the magazine to reload the chamber. In the end, both parties in the duel use this gun to take turns shooting themselves in the head.
The person who fired the shot could not tell whether it was a blank or a live bullet; it all depended on luck.
This is the charm of revolver games.
Stimulation, and a test of one's courage.
Lance stepped forward without hesitation and said to Cha Jiu, "Your Highness, this duel is too dangerous. Let me go in your place."
Cha Jiu's eyes, which seemed to be immersed in mist and ice, looked at him calmly, and smiled lightly: "So, you mean, you are willing to die for me"
"Of course, my life will always be loyal to Your Highness." Lance said sincerely.
But in fact, he has a way to ensure his safety in the revolver game.
The moment the gun was fired, he could tell from the sound whether it was a live bullet or a blank.
If it was live ammunition, he would use his mental power to control the speed of the bullet leaving the gun barrel and then dodge it himself.
Although this might expose his true strength and arouse suspicion, he couldn't care less about that now.
He hoped that Cha Jiu would be safe at least until they reached Alpha Planet.
"I appreciate your sweet talk, but I want to play this game myself."
Cha Jiu clasped the fan in his hand, pushed Lance away, and slowly walked towards Jessica.
At this time, Allen also pulled the willful sister aside and whispered: "You are crazy! This game is life-threatening! Whether you or the princess dies under the bullet, it will not be a good thing for father and Alpha Planet!"
My father needs to marry the princess so that he can legitimately inherit the throne in the future!
Jessica didn't care and brushed Allen's hand away in disgust: "Do you think I'm as stupid as you? I can check the position of the bullets according to the sound and put the bullets in the order I want to shoot."
"This adorable princess will probably be scared to tears after just two shots. Not only will she offer her Star Troopers with both hands to beg for mercy, but she will also know that we, the Wilburmer family, are not easy to mess with, and she will have to behave herself from now on."
This was exactly why she agreed to the duel—to give the imperial princess a warning.
Jessica took the revolver handed to her by her men and loaded a bullet into it.
"Wait a minute." Cha Jiu suddenly spoke.
Jessica raised her eyebrows and looked at her sarcastically: "Your Highness, are you scared and want to change your mind and not play anymore?"
Cha Jiu held the fan, pointed the tail of the fan at the clip with only one bullet in her hand, and said, "Since we want to play, let's play something exciting. Add two more bullets."
What
Not only Jessica, but everyone else was also stunned.
Originally there was one bullet and five blank magazines, so the probability of hitting the target was 1/6.
Now if we increase the number of bullets to three, the chance of death from being hit increases to 50%!
It's really a life-threatening thing!
Cha Jiu looked at Jessica, who was stunned and frozen in place, and smiled, saying, "Are you scared? You can regret it now."
"…Whoever said I was scared, just add it."
Jessica relied on her ability to locate the enemy by sound, so she did not feel scared at this moment and continued to load bullets into the magazine.
When she started to rotate the folder, Cha Jiu suddenly said to the system: "System, it is interfering with Jessica's hearing."
"Okay!" The system that received the task acted quickly, manipulating the surrounding electromagnetic field to create noise.
Jessica was holding her breath, trying to discern the subtle sound of the magazine wheel turning.
As a result, I suddenly heard a series of tinnitus in my ears.
“Sizzle—sizzle—”
Although it did not affect her normal hearing, she could no longer hear the changes in the position of the bullets in the magazine!
What's going on!
Her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by an extremely pale face.
Cha Jiu said leisurely: "Ms. Jessica, this is a revolver game, not a slingshot game. How long will you keep spinning?"
Two minutes had already passed, and no one present had ever seen a roll clip take longer than this.
Someone is laughing secretly.
Ellen also looked worried.
Jessica panicked, and in a hurry, she pushed the magazine back into the chamber without even hearing the bullet's position!
"Crack."
The rotation is complete.
The gamble of fate begins here.
Lance stood silently behind Cha Jiu.
His eyes were unconsciously filled with worry, always fixed on the figure in front of him who was always confident and calm.
How sincerely he hoped that all this would be within her calculations.
"So, was it you who went first or me?" Cha Jiu chuckled and looked up at the panicked Jessica.
The latter was so confused that he had no idea whether the first shot was a blank or a live bullet.
So she swallowed her saliva, pretended to be calm, and said to Cha Jiu, "You go first."
"OK."
Without hesitation, Cha Jiu took the revolver loaded with three bullets and calmly aimed it at his head.
Everyone held their breath.
Lance clenched his fists.
He was ready to use all his mental strength to destroy the entire pistol if he heard the sound of a bullet.
Even if the price is that his identity will be exposed immediately.
There was a crisp, empty sound of "pop!"
Cha Jiu's first shot missed, there were no bullets.
Everyone was so awed by what they saw that their palms began to sweat.
Lance breathed a sigh of relief.
Jessica panicked.
If the opponent doesn't die with the first shot, the probability of being hit with the next shot will increase to 60%!
She regretted it!
Why did you agree to play this roulette game in the first place?
But a duel is a very sacred thing, and once it starts, it cannot be stopped.
Those who seek forgiveness will be laughed at for the rest of their lives, pointed at on their backs and called cowards and bastards.
In more serious cases, it may even affect the family's reputation.
There was no other way, Jessica had to walk towards Cha Jiu tremblingly, ready to catch this dangerous pistol...
However, Cha Jiu had no intention of giving her the pistol.
Jessica looked at her in confusion.
"The rules of the game state that both sides can choose the number of times to fire in each round..." Cha Jiu said slowly.
Apparently, she wasn't content with just one shot this time.
Instead, he put the pistol to the side of his head again and fired a second shot!
"Click!" Still an empty gun.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Jessica's eyes widened and cold sweat broke out.
It's not over yet.
Cha Jiu remained calm, even smiling as he continued to put the gun against his head and fired the third shot.
Crazy!
Ellen and Jessica thought at the same time.
Lance's heart was in suspense, and he was extremely tense, paying close attention to the condition inside the gun.
He also didn't expect that Cha Jiu would be so cruel and shoot him three times!
Cha Jiu turned the handle of the gun outward and handed it to Jessica, "It's your turn, Miss Jessica."
Three empty shots have passed.
The rest are live ammunition.
The next person to shoot has a 100% chance of dying.
"No..." Jessica stared at the pistol that Cha Jiu handed over to her, and shook her head and stepped back as if she saw a devil, refusing to accept it.
Ellen also dislikes her erratic sister.
But he knew even more clearly that if anything happened to Jessica, his father would punish him severely.
So he had to step forward to smooth things over: "Your Highness, we will present the necklace and the gift of apology with both hands. Can you spare Jessica's life for the sake of your father?"
"It turns out that the Wilbermer family will not admit defeat even if they lose a duel." Seeing that Jessica didn't even have the courage to take the gun, Cha Jiu put away the gun and smiled softly: "That's all."
The laugh was very casual, but it hit the Wilbermer family hard in the face like a huge slap.
Ellen lowered her head in shame.
The warriors in the envoy group who were willing to sacrifice their lives to defend the reputation of the Wilbermer Legion also felt insulted and cast angry and contemptuous glances at the cowardly Jessica.
Jessica lowered her head and hid behind Allen silently.
In the evening, Allen sent someone to deliver the amber necklace and some precious gifts to the tea room as agreed.
Lance looked at the endless stream of gifts being sent in, puzzled: "According to the rules of the duel, even if you forcibly kill the Duke's daughter, His Majesty and the Duke cannot complain about you."
So why let her go?
