New Gods of North America

As the son of a wealthy businessman,

Philip Blake believes that the reason why he stood out in the Carter Gang and became the de facto "number two" was because

In addition to his "wisdom" that always enables him to see the truth in time, what is more important is that he dares to show his sharp "madness".

He felt that this was the way the world was.

If you don't dare to break free from the reins, the horse can only be led in the direction by people;

Unable to see through the "rules", hunting dogs dared only to bring back their prey to their owners after capturing it.

Only lions and gray wolves who dare to show their fangs and claws at any time are the "beasts" in the jungle that people are truly afraid of.

So he always likes to play the so-called "chicken game" with others.

After witnessing his madness and courage, even some local police officers would show concessions and obedience in front of him.

This guy named Wayne Constantine,

This will definitely be no exception.

Philip saw Wayne constantly rubbing the magazine with his hands, but he never dared to raise the muzzle of the gun, and even asked himself again whether he wanted to play this "life and death game".

Philip had a bit of joking in his heart, but his face showed his calmness and composure:

"If you don't dare, let me shoot myself first."

Philip reached out and took the gun from Wayne's hand, cocked the hammer with his thumb, and then pointed the muzzle of the revolver at his own head.

"Click!" This is the sound of the firing pin hitting the empty space after the trigger is pulled.

Philip was not surprised.

Because the carvings on his revolver's magazine, although seemingly identical, are actually slightly different.

So when it came time to extract the bullets, he knew which "correct" bullet to keep.

After that, he only needed to take a quick look at the pistol when picking it up to know in advance whether the shot would be fired.

However, Philip pretended to enjoy himself to divert the other party's attention:

"I have played the same game of coward many times before, but I survived every time. I hope your performance is worthy of your toughness just now. Let's see who is the 'prey' among us."

After saying that, he turned the revolver in his hand and handed it to Wayne.

Many cowards will choose to accept the challenge at first, thinking that the probability of being shot is not too high.

For example, at this moment, the guy named "Wayne" standing opposite him seemed to take the gun hesitantly in order to maintain his momentum.

However, Wayne's instinctive body movements clearly betrayed him:

—After hesitatingly taking the revolver, he lost control of it and let it drop onto the lawn.

Then the annoying bodyguard clumsily picked up the gun again, cocked the hammer with awkward movements, and slowly pointed the muzzle of the gun at his own forehead.

"Click!" The trigger was pulled and the firing pin missed the target for the second time.

Too bad the bullet isn't in this position either.

But there is no need to worry. Anyway, you know the location of the bullet. The person who will die tonight can only be this stupid "prey".

According to the rules, the next round should be Philip's turn to shoot himself again.

So Philip had already stretched out his hand, wanting to take the gun from Wayne's hand.

But what Philip didn't expect was that at this time he saw Wayne cocking the hammer of the revolver again.

…

Like playing chicken, huh?

Taking advantage of the fact that this game is not easily suspected at the beginning, after secretly completing the small action of "rolling the magazine back one grid\

,"Wayne started to act according to the crazy image in his memory.

Facing Philip's slightly surprised look, Wayne first pointed the gun at his own temple again, and then began to speak to Philip in a deliberately slow speed:

"You mentioned 'prey' just now. Do you know what is the most important thing to become a 'hunter'?"

"Click!" The trigger was pulled and the firing pin missed for the third time.

Wayne asked himself and answered, "It is to learn to 'seize the opportunity'."

Why did this coward named "Wayne" shoot himself twice?

Philip felt that something was wrong at this time.

Then, before Philip could react, he saw Wayne cock the hammer again.

This time, Wayne put the gun to his own cheek, and his tone became inexplicably cheerful: "Then how should we grasp the timing correctly?"

"Click!" The trigger was pulled and the firing pin missed for the fourth time.

Wayne continued to ask and answer his own questions, his expression looking a little crazy, "You have to know when to play dumb first."

Philip secretly swallowed his saliva, with a look of doubt on his face.

No, this is not the reaction of a coward.

Wayne looked at Philip's slightly widened eyes and cocked the hammer again. This time, Wayne put the gun to his own chin:

"Do you know which of us is the real 'Hunter'?"

"Click!" The firing pin missed for the fifth time.

Wayne raised his head towards the already somewhat shaken Philip, and said, "I am!"

After seeing the obviously crazy expression on Wayne's face, Philip was really a little scared.

Philip likes to play such a game of chicken.

On the one hand, it is because he always leaves himself some little "tricks" to ensure that nothing will happen to him.

On the other hand, most people are actually afraid of crazy people. Once you act crazy, the other party will often choose to restrain themselves and retreat.

Knowing that there were bullets in the gun, Wayne dared to shoot himself several times.

This guy is a crazy person who is not afraid of death!

And Wayne still hadn't finished his performance at this time.

After firing the hammer again, Wayne turned the revolver in his hand, held the magazine, and handed the handle to Philip.

When Philip held the revolver with one hand with some trembling, Wayne still did not release the magazine. Instead, he leaned forward and began to lean his head forward.

He didn't stop until Wayne put his own forehead against the muzzle of the gun.

At this time, Philip saw Wayne raise his head, his eyes staring straight into his own.

Wayne had a creepy smile on his face at this time, "Don't you enjoy being a 'hunter'? I'll help you."

I've fired five blanks already, and this last shot will definitely hit the target!

Not only did Wayne dare to shoot at himself continuously, but even when the gun was already in someone else's hands, he actually dared to put his head against the muzzle of the gun.

This guy is a real lunatic...

As if he had foreseen the scene of blood splattering all around, Philip's hands were unsteady and kept shaking.

It's not that he had never seen blood before, but this was the first time he had seen someone as crazy as Wayne.

"Your hands are shaking. How can you hold the gun steady like this?"

Wayne then gently pulled Philip's other hand, allowing Philip to hold the gun slightly steady with both hands, and then guided Philip to put his finger on the trigger of the pistol.

Wayne's fingers pressed on Philip's hand, slowly applying force.

The hammer began to tremble slightly under the pull of the trigger, as if it would be fired at any time.

After being led to press the trigger, Philip reflexively turned his head to the side and closed his eyes at the same time.

“Crack!”

The firing pin missed for the sixth time.

etc.

Six times failed?!

Philip just thought of this and turned around, only to find that Wayne had turned the gun around and pointed it at Philip's head.

Wayne looked the gangster's son straight in the eye and asked, "Guess again, will there be bullets in the gun this time?"

Philip gazed at the magazine of the pistol for a moment, and then he noticed that the pattern that marked the position of the bullets was now in the correct position.

——The seemingly crazy and fearless "prey" turned out to be a cunning "hunter".

"Don't shoot!"

Philip quickly raised his hands, his arms trembling uncontrollably in the air, and his voice was filled with a cry for mercy:

"I...I give up!"

cut.

If you don't have the courage, then why are you learning to play games like others?
