The reason why Su Mu dared to let the old man set the rules was because he was certain that the old man would not let him divine living things.
After all, this was Seven Hero Town, his territory. He knew this place very well.
The old man would not foolishly use the people or animals here to compete in divination.
The other places were too far away and it was difficult to verify.
Therefore, Su Mu felt that the old man would most likely use a dead object to compete.
With the System Space around, he was not afraid of this kind of competition!
Su Mu felt that victory was within his grasp, and the old man felt even more so.
After counting ten bullets, he held them in his hand and sneered at Su Mu:
"Let's begin."
"Good!" Su Mu didn't hesitate, grabbing the ten pills and placing them under the table.
Then, he took out a pill with his left hand and placed it into the teacup.
As for the old man, it was a lot more troublesome.
After he held the ten pills in his right hand, his left hand reached into his right sleeve and pulled out a thin thread to tie one of the pills.
Then, he took out a pill from his right hand.
He placed the pill tied to the string and the other eight pills into the teacup and placed them on the table.
At this moment, he looked very confident.
That's right, he planned to cheat!
"Should I guess first?" Su Mu asked the old man with a smile.
In his eyes, the old man was already a dead man, and he had always been very tolerant of the dead.
"This time, I'll go first." The old man surnamed Li didn't make any calculations. After calmly looking at Su Mu's teacup, he casually guessed:
"I guess the number of pills in your teacup is even.”
He did not care if his guess was right or wrong.
After all, in his opinion, Su Mu would never guess correctly.
Even if he guessed wrong, it would only be a draw.
In the following bet, he only needed to guess correctly once to walk out of the inn safe and sound.
In other words, he felt that he had won for sure!
Coincidentally, Su Mu also thought so!
"You guessed wrong!" Su Mu smiled playfully and opened the teacup. Nine pills were quietly placed on the table.
"Ha!" Seeing that his guess was wrong, Old Man Li Xing sneered without a care. He pointed at the teacup on the table with his left finger and said,
"It's your turn!"
"As you wish." Su Mu chuckled and immediately used the system space to put the pill in the teacup into it.
" Huh?!" Then, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Because he discovered that there was actually a thin string tied to one of the pills.
“!!!”At this moment, the old man's expression changed drastically.
Because he suddenly realized that the thread he had hidden in his sleeve was gone!
The old man immediately panicked. His right hand searched left and right in his sleeve, trying to find the thin line.
"Interesting. No wonder this old thing is so confident. It turns out that he's planning to cheat.”Su Mu playfully looked at the slightly flustered old man.
Then, he quietly placed the eight pills back into the old man's bowl.
As for the pill with the string, he left it in the system space.
After doing all this, he didn't wait for the old man to react and immediately said,
"I guess the number of pills in your teacup is even!”
"Hu!" After the old man heard Su Mu's words, he immediately let out a sigh of relief.
That was because there were a total of nine pills in his teacup, including the pill tied to the string. It was an odd number!
As for the pill tied with a thin rope, what would happen if it was discovered?
He had already cheated, so why would he care about such a small matter?
At that time, he could totally be thick-skinned and quibble,
"That pill accidentally got entangled with the thread in my sleeve. It has nothing to do with me!”
Thinking of this, the old man immediately regained his confidence. He smiled at Su Mu and shook his head:
"You guessed wrong. The number of pills in this old man's bowl is odd.”
As he spoke, he was about to open the teacup.
At this moment, the old man's mind was not on the teacup. He secretly made up his mind.
"In the next round, I will definitely hold that damned string tightly in my hand!”
"Wait!" Just as the old man was about to open the teacup, Su Mu stopped him:
"I don't trust you. Tell her to open the teacup!”
As he spoke, he pointed at Shangguan Haitang.
"Sure!" The old man, who felt that victory was in his grasp, did not mind. He nodded and moved his hand away, looking at Shangguan Haitang.
"Thank you, Manor Lord."
"No worries." Shangguan Haitang shook her head and opened the teacup.
Eight pills were neatly placed on the table!
The old man, who was originally pleased with himself, was suddenly stunned.
Because he didn't find the pill that he had tied to the rope!
At this moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition and his face turned pale.
Then, he pounced on the table like a ferocious dog pouncing on food and counted the pills one by one.
"One, two, three!"
The old man's voice was extremely hoarse and unpleasant to hear, as if it was the countdown of a dying person's life!
"Six or seven…Eight?" When he counted to the eighth pill, the old man looked at the pill in disbelief and shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no! I must have counted wrongly!"
As he spoke, he counted again.
This time, there were still only eight!
Only then did the old man accept the fact that there were only eight bullets on the table.
Then, he leaned back in his chair as if he was paralyzed. His face was pale as he muttered,
"Isn't it nine? How can there be eight?"
"Xiu" At this moment, Su Mu turned into a shadow and arrived beside the old man.
Ignoring Shangguan Haitang, who was on high alert, he took out the pill with the string and waved it in front of the old man, asking teasingly,"
"Are you looking for it?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That was it! That was it! I didn't lose the ninth pill!”The old man named Li grabbed the pill and nodded with joy.
But then, his entire body suddenly stiffened!
Because that voice seemed to be his opponent?!!
Thinking of this, he turned his head stiffly like an old machine and met Su Mu's eyes that were filled with ridicule.
"Tsk tsk tsk" Su Mu looked at the stunned old man and shook his head.
She placed her right hand on the back of his neck and said softly,"
"You cheated when you couldn't win. You're really shameless!
However, even if you cheated, you still lost. Your life belongs to me!”
As he spoke, he gradually tightened his grip on the old man's neck!
"Manor Lord, save me!" Feeling the pain on the back of his neck, the old man's expression changed drastically and he cried out in surprise.
"Young Master Tianji! Leave the subordinates behind."
"Kacha!" Without waiting for Shangguan Hai Tang to finish her words, Su Mu's hand exerted force and instantly broke the old man's neck!
