"Have you ever played football?" Zhao Lie did not shoot immediately, but looked at Li Xiu with interest.

"No." Li Xiu shook his head. He had occasionally seen some football matches and knew a little bit about the rules, but he had never really played football.

"You are such a poor fellow. I will teach you some basic knowledge of football so that you can accept defeat with a clear conscience and die with your eyes closed." Zhao Lie pointed at the football in front of him like a cat playing with a mouse and said, "Even if you can't play football, you should have watched a football match. The position of the ball and the goal is the distance of a penalty kick. In a football match, a penalty kick is the easiest way to score a goal. Even the top goalkeepers will not have a very high success rate in saving penalties. Facing a penalty kick does not only rely on skills, but also requires a bit of luck."

"What luck?" Li Xiu was not angry because of Zhao Lie's joking attitude. Instead, he asked humbly.

"For a professional shooter, if the goalkeeper tries to save the ball after seeing it fly out from this distance, it will definitely be too late. So before the shooter kicks the ball, he must judge whether the shooter is going to kick to the left or right, and predictably save the ball to the left or right at the same time as the shooter kicks the ball, only then will he have a chance to save the penalty kick." Zhao Lie actually started to explain, as if he really didn't take Li Xiu seriously at all.

Many of the people watching the game didn’t know much about football, but after listening to Zhao Lie’s explanation, they all felt as if they had suddenly understood something.

"So that's how it is. Thank you for your advice." Li Xiu nodded.

"No need to thank me. I said that only professional goalkeepers have such opportunities. Ordinary people like you can't stop me no matter whether I shoot to the left or the right. You can only wait for death." Zhao Lie said, and suddenly he took a run-up, supported himself with his left foot, raised his right foot backwards, tilted his body, twisted his waist, like a strong bow with a string pulled apart, and hit the back of the football hard with the instep.

The whole movement is smooth and full of explosive beauty.

"Will he pounce to the left or to the right?" The others looked at Li Xiu, waiting for his choice, and even secretly judged in their hearts, if it were them, which side would they pounce to?

Bang!

The football hit Li Xiu's arms heavily, but Li Xiu stood there without moving. It was as if the football had stabbed into his arms by itself, and the people watching were stunned.

"The attacking side failed and was awarded zero points. The defending side succeeded in defense and was awarded one point." An electronic synthesized voice sounded, and the two people swapped positions.

"Brother, I didn't scare you just now, did I? I was just kidding you. The best outcome is for everyone to survive." Zhao Lie was also stunned when he saw this, but his face was immediately full of smiles. He said this, but he was thinking in his heart: "Damn, I overestimated this kid. He didn't even react. I wouldn't have spent so much time thinking and just kicked him directly. It's really a case of being too clever for one's own good."

Now Zhao Lie was really scared. What if Li Xiu didn't shoot at all, and kicked the football to other places like his previous wife? Then according to the rules of the trial, Zhao Lie would be dead and would not have any chance at all.

"Are you kidding? Weren't you trying to persuade me to choose left or right?" Li Xiu looked at Zhao Lie and said indifferently.

“How could it be... Don’t misunderstand me, brother…” Zhao Lie’s face turned ugly as Li Xiu saw through his thoughts. He wanted to explain anxiously.

Now his life is in Li Xiu's hands, and life or death depends on Li Xiu's thoughts.

"No need to explain. You may be a professional player with good skills, but you are definitely not the league's top scorer because you have no confidence. The real top scorers would not bother to use such means because no means are more reliable than their own skills." Li Xiu interrupted Zhao Lie and said lightly: "However, I can give you another chance."

"It's good that you understand, brother. We are all miserable people..." Zhao Lie no longer had the arrogant look he had before. He smiled and spoke in a flattering manner.

"You're right. We are all miserable people, so I'll give you a chance. I will kick the ball to the center just like you did. You just need to stand there like me to catch the ball." Li Xiu said.

"Okay, okay, I'll take it right here. Brother, kick slowly." Zhao Lie nodded repeatedly, but cursed in his heart: "What the hell, you're playing this trick on me? You gave me a chance just to get two rewards, right? And you let me stand still, are you kidding me? Don't say that your tricks can't fool me. Even if you really want to kick it in the middle, you have to have the skills to do it. Do you think anyone can kick the ball wherever they want? Without professional training, it's impossible to be so accurate."

Others had similar thoughts as Zhao Lie. The fate of the previous couple was still fresh in their minds. There was no trust even between husband and wife, let alone Li Xiu and Zhao Lie.

Li Xiu didn't say anything else. He took a few steps back and ran to the ball. With his left leg as the center of gravity, he tilted his body, swung his right leg, twisted his waist violently, and hit the ball hard with the instep of his right foot.

This set of movements was completed in one go, without any delay, and was exactly the same as Zhao Lie's previous movements.

"Left or right?" People were guessing in their hearts.

"Damn, I've been fooled. This guy can play football." Before Li Xiu made a shooting gesture, Zhao Lie's face changed drastically.

It is difficult for non-professional football players to master such movements so perfectly.

"Left or right? Or the middle?" Zhao Lie was hesitant. After knowing that Li Xiu could also play football, he became even more confused.

Previously, he thought Li Xiu had never played football and was worried that he would not kick accurately. Now that he knew Li Xiu was also a professional, Zhao Lie suddenly thought of something. He stared at Li Xiu's body movements and determined his center of gravity.

He had just used this move before. With the center of gravity already on the left leg, if he wanted to fully unleash his power with this move, he could only kick the ball to the left or the middle, and it was impossible to kick it to the right.

This leaves only two options: the middle and the left side. Zhao Lie doesn't think Li Xiu will kick the ball to the middle. What Li Xiu said before was just to interfere with his judgment.

In such a life-and-death duel, who would be stupid enough to give points to others?

Zhao Lie himself wouldn't do that, and he didn't believe Li Xiu would do that.

And according to the probability, left, right and center each account for one-third of the probability. Li Xiu wanted to fix his thinking on the two options of center and non-center, but in fact he chose to kick left or right, and the probability of winning would be higher.

"Yes, it's the left, it must be the left." Zhao Lie's eyes suddenly lit up and he rushed to the left.

But when Zhao Lie jumped in mid-air, he was shocked to find that the football was already whizzing towards the place where he had just stood. It was exactly the same as the ball he had just kicked, even the height of the ball was not half a centimeter different.

Zhao Lie, who was in the air, could only turn his head and watch the ball pass by him and hit the net hard. His eyes changed from surprise to confusion, from confusion to regret, from regret to fear, and finally all the fear turned into despair.

The ball and Zhao Lie fell to the ground almost at the same time, and then the cold electronic synthesized sound was heard above their heads.

"The attacking team succeeds and gets one point. The defending team fails and gets zero points. The points are settled, rewards are distributed, and the cleanup begins..."

"No……"

Bang!

With an explosion, Zhao Lie's heart-wrenching roar of unwillingness came to an abrupt end, and blood, flesh and bones scattered all over the ground.

Li Xiu's bracelet also lit up, emitting a faint blood light. Then Li Xiu felt the place where the bracelet was wrapped tighten, and he felt a needle-like pain, as if something was injected into the blood vessels.
