《life after surviving a disaster》The Power of Taigong Compass
Advertisement
The three of us soon came to a quiet place. This is an alley. Wei looked at me, pulled Hong and said calmly, "come on."
"Well." I nodded and said, there was also a burst of tension in my heart. After all, this is my last life. Once I lose, I will be die. Guessing boxing, even a master, cannot guarantee a 100% victory rate.
Can I win this time? I'm not sure at all.
Wei and I raised our hands at the same time, and then prepared to guess. At this time, my head spins quickly. Is it scissors or cloth? Wei is a novice. He has the greatest chance of playing a hammer, but after all, he has lost once and may not play like this. That's the cloth. If I give scissors, I may win directly.
Finally, I pondered for a moment, and my arm began to fall slowly. Hong next to him was extremely nervous. If Wei lost, he would completely lose the right to participate in the competition.
And I lost, the same is true, so this is a duel that cannot be lost.
We both raised our hands at the same time, and then fell at the same time. Fate seemed to decide at this moment, and both of us held our breath at the same time. Then we both gave scissors!
It seems that Wei is smart this time. Instead of choosing a hammer, choose scissors. He seems to have predicted that I will make cloth.
The game continues!
I took a deep breath and thought quickly in my mind. What am I going to do this time? Now that the scissors have been used, the next one will be other ones.
Is it a hammer or a cloth? Wei has learned a lesson. He will definitely not use a hammer, so he should also use cloth? I thought of it, and a sneer came up at the corners of my mouth.
Our arms fell again. This time I gave a hammer, while Wei still gave scissors. I won.
"How is this possible?" Wei looked at me pale, and Hong beside him had almost fainted.
I shook my head. Then turn your head away from him.

Because I'm afraid I'll feel guilty. I've taken his only life, and he's dead now. It can be said that it has been eliminated from this game.
This death guessing game must have enough chips to continue. Once it becomes zero, it is equivalent to failure.
"I'm really not your opponent. I thought I could beat you unexpectedly." Wei said with a wry smile, his body paralyzed on the ground. Hong beside me looked at me angrily, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes. I know she must hate me.
Wei glanced at Hong next to him, and then reluctantly said, "don't hate Bai Zhi, he is like me. We are all victims of this game."
"But what can you do? You will be die." Hong looked at Wei with tears. Wei looked pale and shook his head. The voice was embarrassed and said, "sorry."
Hong didn't speak, but hugged Wei and cried bitterly. Wei also had tears in his eyes. But soon he controlled his emotions. Looking at me, he said, "Bai Zhi, I lost in your hands, and there is nothing to say."
"I can't go any further, Bai Zhi. You're so smart. You must survive. You must find out the murderer for me and revenge for me." Wei said.
"No problem." I glanced back with difficulty and said, then turned my head and left directly. I'm afraid I can't control my emotions at all. After all, it's too painful to push a person into hell.
Wei and I have no grievances. Although we are classmates, there is no communication between us. But now in order to survive, I have to push him into hell. This is absolutely cruel for me.
Out of the Hutong, my mood is extremely dull. It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky is much darker. But I looked at my mobile phone. I'm still fighting hard, because I haven't won yet. I need another vote.
Now I have only two candidates in front of me, Zhi Hu and Ban Xia. These two people will be my next goals. Among these two people, Zhi Hu is very smart. I can't see through him at all.
Ban Xia is much simpler and often laughs at me.

"Take her as my next prey." I looked at my mobile phone and muttered to myself that once people are cornered, they can overcome their fear and do unimaginable things.
And I have no doubt that I am such a person. If in the past, I can't imagine that I will kill people. But now I have to do it. Just take the life of Ban Xia again. I can successfully get out of the game.
Thinking of this, my mood suddenly improved a lot. Picking up my mobile phone, I sent a message to Ban Xia.
"Where are you? Do you want to compare with me?"
Soon, Ban Xia sent a text message: "no, I'm already comparing with Zhi Hu."
My face is a little ugly. It seems that Ban Xia and Zhi Hu are not idle these days. Unexpectedly, they began to compare with each other. In this way, the third winner will be born, which is too urgent for me.
I seem to have felt that death is approaching. Thinking of this, I took a gnash of teeth at my mobile phone. Then I went back to my home. Now I have nothing to do.
Zhi Hu should have begun to compete with Ban Xia now. The third winner will be born from the two of them. In this case, there is only one place left.
But now I have nothing to do. Thinking of this, I feel very angry. Sitting on the bed, I took out the Taigong compass and looked up. Taigong compass is exquisite in shape. Who can believe that it was thousands of years ago.
I don't know how to use it.
Compass is an ancient thing. Modern people don't know how to use it at all. There are countless words and scales on it, and they are all ancient.
I didn't know how to use it after reading it. There is no instruction for this thing. Look at the natural magnetic needle on it constantly rotating. I was puzzled and fiddled with it.
Should this kind of thing be used? Thinking of this, I hurried to open the computer and checked the use of the compass. I soon learned the usage of compass.
But even so, looking at a lot of ancient texts in the compass, I still have a headache. Compass is used to watch geomancy in ancient times.
This kind of thing cannot be understood without decades of experience. This made me look at the Taigong compass in my hand with an ugly face. Is this kind of thing useless?
No, since it is an artifact known to predict the rise and fall of the dynasty, there may be some spells. Thinking of this, I quickly turned on my mobile phone and called my grandmother.
My aunt answered the phone when I had a problem with her. The old aunt quietly said, "Bai Zhi, don't play with that thing. It's very dangerous."
"Aunt, tell me quickly how to use Taigong compass." I have no choice but to say to my aunt.
"The Taigong compass is a thing that can predict the future, but it is precisely because it is too powerful. Every time you want to use it, you must pay some price. And the more things you use it to predict, the longer the time span, the more the cost will be."
Aunt taught me the usage of Taigong compass.
I put down my mobile phone in surprise, looked at the compass in my hand, and then bit my finger on the compass. According to my aunt, I said a few spells. Then the Taigong compass began to suck my blood.
I know, I'm successful.
Taigong compass will absorb my blood. The bigger the question I ask, the more blood I will absorb. Therefore, my aunt told me repeatedly on the phone not to ask some big questions.
Watching my blood constantly absorbed by the Taigong compass. At this time, I slowly said, "Taigong compass, tell me. What is Lina's Achilles' heel?"
Taigong compass, after absorbing my blood, the whole copper colored surface instantly burst into a strange light red, making the brass colored compass immediately become as pure and dazzling as red copper, and at this time, the central surface of the compass slowly floated a blood colored text, which was written with a traditional poisonous word.
