Chapter 24 It's your turn, Director Chen
"Looks like two bugs have trespassed into my territory." A slightly amused voice came from the doorway.
Chen Tianxiong slowly walked into the secret room, and with each step he took, the temperature inside rose a degree.
This time, Nightingale and the mental arithmetic master followed behind him.
"Su Wan." Chen Tianxiong's gaze swept past Lin Yu and landed on Su Wan's face, his tone filled with regret:
"If you had obediently helped me activate the Devouring Love Sword and become my pawn, there wouldn't have been so much trouble... But now you've teamed up with an ant to steal my lifeblood."
Tsk tsk tsk...what a pair of star-crossed lovers."
Su Wan's face paled, her hand holding the sword trembled slightly, but her eyes remained firm.
Nightingale, standing behind Chen Tianxiong, looked extremely grim. She hadn't expected Lin Yu to steal Chen Tianxiong's things.
She had already made up her mind to follow Lin Yu, but now Lin Yu had put her in such a dangerous situation.
This made the nightingale feel deceived, and her feelings were very complicated.
"Damn it, what did our promise even mean?!"
I've already decided to betray Chen Tianxiong. What am I supposed to do if you die?
And you didn't take any precautions at all. What if I get your child? Then I'll be in trouble—”
Nightingale thought viciously, but seeing Lin Yu's calm eyes, she hoped that Lin Yu still had a backup plan.
Immediately afterward, Lin Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Su Wan, his face showing no surprise or tension, but rather a smile:
"Director Chen, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Wait for me?" Chen Tianxiong sneered. "Wait for me to come and take your lives?"
Lin Yu shook his head and drew the Gambler's Revolver from his waist:
"I'm waiting for you to come... to take a gamble."
The moment Chen Tianxiong saw the revolver, his pupils suddenly contracted!
He recognized the gun; it was something he had painstakingly acquired at great cost. How did it end up in this kid's hands?!
"Gambler Revolver... It's you! You robbed my goods!" Chen Tianxiong's voice suddenly turned furious.
Lin Yu remained unfazed, even casually wiping the revolver with his fingers:
"You only guessed it now? Director Chen, your intelligence network needs an update."
"Good! Very good!" Chen Tianxiong laughed angrily, his eyes turning incredibly sinister.
"Since you've come to me with my things, I'll take them back with interest!"
Chen Tianxiong stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the Crimson Dragon Crystal transformed into a stream of crimson light and entered his palm.
His aura surged once more, and a distorted crimson dragon phantom appeared around his body.
However, just as he was about to make his move—
Lin Yu pulled the trigger of the revolver.
A black phantom stood beside Lin Yu, dressed in a gentleman's suit and wearing a top hat; it was none other than the strange spirit of the revolver from before.
It bowed respectfully to Lin Yu, its mouth twitching into a grin, and said, "My master, I will now set up the casino for you."
As the words fell, a hemispherical, silver-gray field with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly unfolded, centered on Lin Yu and Chen Tianxiong!
The light inside the area is distorted, completely isolating it from the outside world.
An old oak gambling table suddenly appeared in the center, with two high-backed chairs standing opposite each other.
Above the gambling table, a slowly rotating phantom image of a revolver cylinder floats, with the outlines of six bullets clearly visible.
"Domain?" Chen Tianxiong's expression changed slightly.
Lin Yu pulled out a chair and sat down casually, while the illusory figure stood beside him like a butler.
But its face bore a maniacal smile, its mouth stretching wider and wider:
"Go ahead and gamble! If you die, I'll be free again."
The more you gamble, the better. I refuse to believe you won't lose!
Lin Yu glanced back at the illusory figure and said coldly, "I know what you're thinking. You're being a bit noisy."
The phantom broke out in a cold sweat, genuinely terrified of Lin Yu, this madman who feared no death.
It didn't understand why Lin Yu could fire so decisively. If Lin Yu had even a little fear of death, it wouldn't have ended up like this.
This is death! Aren't you afraid at all? Can you be resurrected?!
Lin Yu also knew what the phantom was expecting: if he died, Gambler Revolver would regain his freedom.
But that opportunity will never come.
It was precisely because of Lin Yu's confidence that the illusory figure was genuinely afraid of him.
After reprimanding the phantom, Lin Yu slowly loaded his revolver, his expression calm as he said:
"Director Chen, please have a seat."
The moon is beautiful tonight, perfect for... gambling with your life.
"You think you've got me cornered?!" Chen Tianxiong sneered, but finally pulled out another chair and sat down heavily.
Having witnessed countless bizarre gadgets and abilities, he instantly understood the terrifying nature of this field.
This is a mandatory, life-or-death duel! Only one of the two can survive!
At this moment, Su Wan stood outside the domain. Although she could not hear any sounds, she could clearly see everything inside the domain.
She covered her mouth as she stared at the gambling table that had appeared out of nowhere, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Lin Yu... he actually possesses such an ability?!
Nightingale was deeply shaken, her eyes fixed on Lin Yu.
Within the field—
The rules took full effect the instant Chen Tianxiong sat down.
The eerie, illusory figure bowed respectfully and said in a sinister tone:
"The roulette game is set up. Participants: Lin Yu and Chen Tianxiong."
Rules: Each person takes turns shooting themselves at least once; the person hit is declared "instantly dead".
Note: The holder of the Gambler's Revolver has the first move.
"Shooting...instant death rule..." Chen Tianxiong chewed on these words, his face growing even more gloomy.
Lin Yu picked up the revolver, and the cylinder spun rapidly, emitting a sickening mechanical grinding sound.
Chen Tianxiong stared intently at the gun barrel pressed against Lin Yu's temple, his breath almost stopping for a moment.
Lin Yu's finger rested on the trigger.
His expression was calm, and then he pulled the trigger.
Click.
The first shot missed.
Lin Yu put down his gun, casually slid the revolver across the table, and pushed it toward Chen Tianxiong.
"Director Chen, it seems I'm very lucky."
The gun spun across the oak table and finally came to a steady stop in front of Chen Tianxiong.
"It's your turn."
Chen Tianxiong stared at the gun, his Adam's apple bobbing, before he reached out and gripped the handle.
