Chapter 57 -48: Black and White Game (End)
Chen Xiao clicked on the screen, directly saying.
“Black”
After that, no one knew why, but he was very excited, chuckling eerily a few times, as if immensely satisfied.
Wang Billy looked at Chen Xiao with a disgusted face and shook his head as if to say, “This guy is beyond help.”
Afterward, he turned to “Glasses Man.”
“Hey, I say, now there are only three of us left, I think we should team up. I’ll tell you the right color now, and when it’s my turn, you help me out. We can split all the rewards, how about that? This is the best strategy now!”
After finishing, he glanced at Chen Xiao again, barely concealing his aversion.
“That guy… I think we should just ignore him, we decided this from the start.” He blurted this out right in front of Chen Xiao, and indeed, who cared about niceties at this critical moment, so close to victory?
And Chen Xiao…
Hearing Wang Billy talk about him like this, he wasn’t the least bit angry; rather, he seemed even happier.
“Hehehe black—”
…
“Pfft~~~”
“Hahahaha————”
He laughed nonsensically, holding it midway before finally, unable to hold it in, spitting out a spray of saliva.
Wang Billy stared at him, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn’t take it anymore: “Hey, what are you doing? How did you even get into the field team? You must have asked someone for a Permit Scroll just to cause trouble!”
He shouted.
And “Glasses Man,” from beginning to end, had no reaction at all; he stayed quietly lost in his thoughts, unbothered by chuckles or shouts.
Finally, the system’s countdown sound brought him back to reality.
System prompt: Countdown 5, 4, 3, …
Glasses Man glanced distractedly at the screen.
——————————————
Color selection result:
“Black”: 1 person
“White”: 1 person
Please choose your color: “Black” “White”
Remaining time: 01:00
——————————————
He managed to touch his phone screen.
His choice…
“Black”
…
System prompt: Congratulations, your choice is correct.
…
…
Chen Xiao, at this moment, was still chuckling softly, Wang Billy said nothing, the corner of his eyebrows faintly furrowing as if he had just thought of something.
Looking at him, Chen Xiao said, “You have already lost…”
Wang Billy furrowed his brow, puzzled, looking at Chen Xiao, “What are you talking about? I would rather gamble on that 50% chance myself than cooperate with you, no way.”
Seeing the cynical expression on his face, Chen Xiao felt a bit bored.
“At this point, it’s pointless to keep pretending!”
He waved his hand dismissively.
“Your rules… they are different from ours, aren’t they.”
…
Wang Billy’s muscles tensed abruptly, but he quickly regained his composure, not letting the surprise show on his face.
“You’ve been spouting nonsense since the start! What are you trying to do?” he yelled.
Chen Xiao, visibly impatient, stated, “You knew your color from the beginning… and your rule is to kick everyone else out, right!”
Wang Billy froze, then finally couldn’t hide his shock, his mouth agape, staring at Chen Xiao as if looking at a monster.
Because what Chen Xiao said was true. Wang Billy’s game rules were indeed different from the other five.
His rule was:
“You can check the correct color at any turn, and your condition for winning is: when the time ends, you are the only one not eliminated!”
Wang Billy stood still for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something, looked at “Glasses Man” with an even more shocked gaze.
At that moment, he had figured it all out, realizing that from the fourth round of the first game, which was “Glasses Man’s” turn, he had already lost.
Because by then, Glasses Man had guessed everything and also figured out how to win under such rules. Thus, he compressed his own time to the last few seconds, not even bothering to look at the result of his color choice.
He went all in, pushing himself to the brink of the cliff.
He was waiting for someone who had also figured out the real rules and was betting the entire game on unconditionally trusting that person.
And the person who unhesitatingly told him the color was Chen Xiao.
Although “Muscle Sister” also told him a color afterward, that was just to mislead him. Instead, he chose to trust Chen Xiao without any reason.
And… he won the bet.
At that time, the bond between Chen Xiao and “Glasses Man” had already formed.
Chen Xiao did not care about the outcome of the color or the “four must win” proposal; none of the schemes mattered because all he had to do was choose the color mentioned by Glasses Man.
So…

The outcome of the game was already determined at that point.
The winners… were only Chen Xiao and “Glasses Man”.
Wang Billy lowered his head, smiled, and did not show much anger, for the opponent had already secured victory early on, and he had indeed lost definitively.
He still did not know why he had been seen through.
So he asked, “How did you see through me?”
At this point, Chen Xiao’s image had already appeared on the phone screen, but Chen Xiao did not look at it; he continued to respond to Wang Billy’s question.
“First, during the first game, you chose white. Of course, at that time I did not suspect anyone, as there was still the “Sloppy Uncle” as a cover, but in the second game, you continued to play a disruptive role, maybe because you were too confident or too anxious. You chose the wrong color again, resulting in a 3 to 2 outcome. I naturally thought that someone was off; this person wasn’t afraid to upset the balance. Still, I wasn’t sure because every individual has their own thoughts, and among those people, there could be an opportunist, until his turn began,” Chen Xiao said, looking at Glasses Man.
The other party did not react, continuing rhythmically to tap the temple of his glasses.
Chen Xiao once again continued to Wang Billy: “Once his turn began, he too put everything on the line to do what I had intended to do next. At that point, I realized someone’s rules were different from ours, but I did not know the exact rules. Regardless, someone wanted to invite me to attempt a guess, so of course, I joined in.”
“Until the second round began, you tried every trick to eliminate people, even ruining your own ‘four must win’ strategy. You were desperate, so your actions fit two points: 1. You were afraid of someone surviving! 2. You didn’t mind guessing the wrong color! So I could guess your rules. Thinking further, I could also deduce that you knew the rules before we even sat in this room… and… you were the last one to join… because you were waiting for the number of players to reach six! After choosing ‘Logic,’ you stayed logged off and did not join the game. You did nothing during that time… You waited an entire week for this victory.”
Chen Xiao spoke very quickly, calculating all this in less than a minute, and Wang Billy understood it all.
Indeed, when he used the “Permit Scroll” and chose “Logic”, the system had already informed him about the type of game he would participate in and also informed him of the rules of the game.
By then, he had already planned to use the “four must win” method to eliminate two or three people in the second round, but he needed two stepping stones. The first stepping stone was “Sloppy Uncle”, who was used to break the “Peace Agreement”, and the second was Chen Xiao, the person excluded by the “four must win” proposal.
Any cunning plan must have a common enemy; otherwise, all schemes will turn inward on the team.
So, the number of players he needed for this game… was six!
“It seems… I have been negligent,” Wang Billy said somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, “You didn’t grasp the meaning of this game; the Foundation wouldn’t have its employees play a game of mutual suspicion. Actually, the victory condition of this game is trust. Only by trusting each other unconditionally can one win.”
Wang Billy nodded in agreement.
At this time, three minutes had passed for Chen Xiao. But Chen Xiao did not seem anxious at all.
“Do you know why I’m telling you all this?” Chen Xiao asked Wang Billy.
Wang Billy shrugged: “To let me know that I can already lose.”
Chen Xiao nodded and continued, “Indeed, you have already lost because if we both drag it out until one hour ends, we win…”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao grinned broadly, his smile as “radiant” as it could be.
“So I want to ask you for a favor…” he said, picking up his phone with the screen facing up, extending it towards Wang Billy.
“Please… let me and him play a game properly…”
…
…
With just that simple phrase, the sound of Glasses Man continuously tapping the temple of his glasses abruptly stopped.
He lifted his head,
his eyes, which had been squinting all along, slowly opened.
A very slight gap.
Two incredibly chilling glares shot out.
The gentle and elegant glasses-wearing man disappeared instantaneously…
Replaced by someone who would make anyone shiver involuntarily upon seeing them.
Like a cold, sinister snake.
“Hehe…”
He looked at Chen Xiao.
Softly,
He laughed.
