Lin Muci negotiated with the system.
"Didn't Ling Qianhe have to play Russian roulette with that bad guy?"
"Make sure he wins."
"Can you do it?"
The system hesitated, then spoke.
"Yes."
"Ling Qianhe can win."
"But..."
The little system seemed troubled, its words vague and ambiguous.
"Host, you have to pay one hundred points... You'll owe the system points now, and you must make up for the deficit within three months, otherwise, our accounts won't balance..."
Lin Muci nodded and agreed immediately.
"Okay."
What did she care about that?
Whether she could earn points was a future concern.
For now—
Saving Ling Qianhe was the priority!
...
In the hall outside, the thrilling game of Russian roulette was still being broadcast live to the world.
Ling Qianhe stood there, reaching out to take the revolver thrown by the other party. Then, he aimed his own revolver at his temple.
A faint, cold smile flickered on Ling Qianhe's lips!
"First round."
He pulled the trigger directly.
The gun fired.
He was unharmed.
Yang Weiyang trembled, even though she knew it was just acting and likely a toy gun.
But why.
Was her heart pounding so hard?
Yang Weiyang was extremely tense. She took several deep breaths, but still couldn't calm her racing heart.
She was like a startled sparrow on a branch!
She turned to look at Fei Siyu beside her.
"So... so scary..."
Fei Siyu's face was a little grim.
He didn't speak, just tightly gripped Yang Weiyang's hand.
Why did he have such a bad premonition?
Was this really just a murder mystery game?
...
On Fox's live streaming platform.
Everyone couldn't help but whisper and discuss the thrilling live footage.
To compete with Xiao Ci for Qianhe.
【Qianhe's brother is too fierce. The moment he pulled the trigger, my heart almost jumped out. Does anyone understand...】
【Too amazing! Truly amazing. The second he pulled the trigger, I felt like I was going crazy.】
Everyone thought.
【He's too divine! How can he not hesitate at all...】
【Even if it's a game, it involves life and death, so one would still hesitate, right?】
【But seeing that almost imperceptible smile on his lips... I feel like it would drive people mad. Ling Qianhe is truly exceptional, a man to be marveled at...】
Everyone was buzzing.
【He's really so capable.】
【The more a man is like this, steady and calm in a crisis, the more irresistible his charm becomes.】
【Qianhe's brother is a real man!】
The man opposite Ling Qianhe, dressed in a skull-print shirt, suddenly looked much colder.
After a moment, Ling Qianhe heard him speak.
【First bullet.】
Then he took the revolver and, with a cold smile,
Fired it at his own temple.
He too, had a blank.
He was playing with Ling Qianhe.
Yang Weiyang's eyes widened further, like a startled little rabbit!
Lin Muci, watching the small live window provided by the system in her room, was also surprised.
【Isn't this guy afraid of shooting himself?】
【Are there any robbers this stupid?】
The system patiently explained to her.
"Host, did you notice his small movement earlier?"
"He touched the handle of the revolver. This gun has been modified. It has two firing chambers."
"When he made Ling Qianhe shoot, he loaded the chamber with a real bullet!"
"When he shot himself, it was an empty chamber!"
The system couldn't help but sigh.
"He's determined to make Ling Qianhe die... this guy truly lives up to being a heinous pirate!"
"He's the king of pirates in the Caribbean Sea, his name is Nu Hai."
Nu Hai?
Lin Muci noted down the name.
"You guarantee that Qianhe will be fine, right?"
"We'll sign a contract! If anything happens to him, you have to revive him too!"
When it came to matters involving Ling Qianhe, she had no room for negotiation.
She was just being willful!
She absolutely had to ensure Ling Qianhe survived!
The system sighed softly.
"Got it, got it. Don't worry, I'll definitely let Ling Qianhe live. Is that okay?"
Lin Muci finally nodded with satisfaction.
In the hall outside, Ling Qianhe watched as the young man opposite him had a blank. He then touched the gun and tossed it back to him.
His expression was unusually cold.
A mocking smile played on his lips.
He had seen through the other party's trick.
He felt the gun.
Then, he swiftly aimed it at his own temple once more!
Ling Qianhe had another blank!
The young man opposite him frowned abruptly, then suddenly spoke.
"Wait... wait a moment!"
The young man looked at Ling Qianhe, confusion swirling in his eyes, and then strode towards him.
"Why did you touch the gun's handle just now?"
Ling Qianhe looked at him with a half-smile.
The light in his eyes.
As if seeing through everything.
Then Ling Qianhe asked him.
"Can't I look?"
"Or are you cheating in this game of Russian roulette?"
He countered, and the young man was momentarily stumped. He looked at Ling Qianhe and gritted his teeth.
"Let's have one last round, and no one is allowed to touch this revolver."
He looked at Ling Qianhe.
"You go first."
The firing chamber would automatically reset.
He had already had two blanks.
There was one more—he watched Ling Qianhe coldly, his heart pounding with anticipation.
He couldn't wait to see the bullet enter the temple of this globally popular young star.
But Ling Qianhe didn't avoid his gaze at all. Instead, he pulled the trigger directly, the cylinder began to spin—and then, with a bang.
Yang Weiyang was so worried she felt like she was about to faint.
Ling Qianhe released his grip.
He was unharmed.
He had another blank.
Three blanks, and the man opposite him had to fulfill his promise.
He was going to take the final shot!
Ling Qianhe looked at him, at the fierce-looking pirate opposite him.
The corner of his lips curved upwards.
"It's your turn to pull the trigger."
Lin Muci, watching through the small window, clenched her fists.
She eagerly asked the system.
"Is this guy an utterly wicked villain, a heinous criminal? If so, can I make the bullet hit him?"
The host complained.
"Host, you're really full of killing intent now..."
"Yes, you can. You can exchange points, and I can secretly cheat a little..."
"But... he has to shoot first."
Lin Muci said.
"Then I'll pay points when he shoots."
The system was speechless at the host's stinginess!
However—the pirate Nu Hai, raised his head and said coldly.
"You win, I'll leave."
"I'll give you three hours to sort out the clues. When I return, you'll have one chance to tell me who the real murderer in this murder mystery is."
"If you say it wrong..."
His gaze swept over the "guests" present!
"None of you will be allowed to leave this cruise ship!"
"You will remain in these waters forever!"
...
He turned and left with the men in black. Yang Weiyang, the silly girl, completely failed to grasp the seriousness of the situation. Yang Weiyang was still foolishly asking.
"Huh?"
"What does his statement mean—what do you mean we'll remain in these waters forever?"
"This is just dialogue, right?"
She gave a dry laugh.
"It's not like they'll kill us, right?"
"Why is the production team playing such a joke... making this murder mystery so realistic makes me feel like the other person is a real gangster..."
Ling Qianhe exchanged a glance with Hanks.
He calmly gave instructions to everyone.
"Later, you all go up first."
"Take the helicopter."
"I'll stay behind to buy time."
Yang Weiyang was a bit stunned.
"Huh? Why go up? Why take a helicopter? Where did the helicopter come from? Where did it come from? Did you arrange it?"
She was very confused, not understanding what was happening. Ling Qianhe remained silent for a moment, his lips pressed together.
Hanks glanced at Ling Qianhe. Seeing that Ling Qianhe had no intention of explaining,
He also gave a wry smile.
"Alright, let's do it this way."
...
The audience watching were all stunned.
Huh, what's going on? Why did Qianhe's brother's expression suddenly become so serious?
Isn't it just a game?
He's too immersed in the role.
However, the signal from the video window suddenly became intermittent, connecting and then disconnecting. Everyone couldn't help but curse Fox's programmers.
Then a notice popped up on the platform.
【Special Notice: Dear viewers, due to force majeure, our broadcast will be shut down...】
【Staff on this cruise ship, the Destiny, are unreachable...】
【According to the information we currently have...】
【The cruise ship is suspected of being hijacked by pirates in international waters...】
【Interpol and relevant departments have already intervened. Please remain calm and await further updates with us...】
The audience was stunned.
They were terrified.
【Holy crap, what does this mean?】
【Pirates? Are you kidding us? What kind of nonsense is this...】
【Impossible! Our Qianhe, our Xiao Ci are still on board!】
【Hanks and Vivian are also on board, eight stars on board, and you're telling me they were hijacked by pirates?】
【Weren't they just playing a murder mystery a second ago? It must be your staff deceiving us!】
The fans trembled in fear. Their first reaction was disbelief.
Unexpectedly, the International Maritime Organization also issued a notice and coordinates, asking the nearest fishing vessels to assist.
【Extreme danger! Please remain calm...】
The news also began to follow up with reports.
Fans: "..."
A bolt from the blue!
What?
So, everything they had just seen was real? Ling Qianhe wasn't joking or acting.
He was truly dealing with criminals, playing Russian roulette with his life.
Risking being shot dead himself?
To buy time for everyone?
He...
What a good man!
The fans were on the verge of tears from fright.
Wuwuwu, Qianhe's brother, how could he be so good!
Risking his life to save people.
What if he had actually shot himself?
He actually stepped forward at such a critical moment. All the viewers watching the live broadcast were impressed by his courage and deeply moved.
But, what about Xiao Ci?
He said Xiao Ci was resting in her room...
Where is Xiao Ci?
Is she in danger?
Or does she have another plan?
So, did Qianhe and Xiao Ci know the truth?
Are they working together, trying to save everyone on this ship?
Are these two going to play the role of saviors on this cruise ship?
