Hundreds of creeks are secretly gathering momentum, going from slow to fast in just an instant!
The phantom flashes...
Although this kind of plot was not the first for Jiang Qian, when it actually happened between two high-ranking officials, it still caused some shock.
However, since it happened between high-ranking and powerful people, how could a backstab be so easy to succeed?
As if the Golden Eagle Martial Saint had eyes on his back, he turned sideways gently without warning and dodged an invisible dart-shaped object. When he looked back, he had already drawn his weapon to kill a carbine!
Bai Xiaoxi quickly took the move, fighting and retreating amidst the thunderous offensive of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, and gradually approached the corner...
Jiang Qian couldn't help but concentrate, and slowly clenched his hands on the table.
At the critical moment, behind Bai Xiaoxi, a black "huge wave" like ink suddenly surged out of the visual blind spot of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint!
This huge wave licked the slightly narrow surrounding wall and swept towards the two people who were fighting——
The screen in front of me trembled for a few times. When it returned to clarity, the three parties were already involved in a melee!
The powerful energy entanglement is constantly shaking the already precarious surveillance image.
Jiang Qian held his breath and concentrated, and finally figured out the clues from the three people's aggressive momentum:
Lurking around the corner and making a surprise attack is the Eternal Windsor of the hostile camp. She seems to have instigated Bai Xiaoxi's rebellion, and the two are joining forces to deal with the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, who is the pinnacle of strength in their own camp!
The thick hair of Eternal Windsor gathered like waves and spread all over the place. Several dangerous attacks were made, but they were all burned away by the golden light surrounding the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.
This gave Jiang Qian the opportunity to see the difference in texture between "integrating" natural forces and "symbiotic" natural forces.
After all, the realm of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint is still slightly higher than that of the Eternal Windsor.
In this "street fight" where they met on a narrow road, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint showed extraordinary domineering and sharpness. Not only did Windsor, who attacked from a distance, failed to succeed, Bai Xiaoxi, who tried to get close, was also pinned to the wall by a sweeping leg. superior!
The hotel wall immediately shook several times, cracking in a spider web shape, and Bai Xiaoxi, who was hit at the critical point, choked out a mouthful of blood...
"Oh, this wall is strong enough..." Jiang Qian sighed secretly.
The eternal Windsor wave crushed them and the Golden Eagle Martial Saint struck hard with their fists and kicks. Under these two five-state masters' strange powers, they only cracked a few cracks? It seems that the standard of this hotel is better than that of a high-ranking license holder's prison. It should be banned.
In comparison, Bai Xiaoxi's performance seemed a bit weak, which surprised Jiang Qian.
The capabilities this headquarters intelligence officer has shown so far are mostly focused on psychological attacks, and he often avoids fighting. It seems there is a reason.
Fortunately, Eternal Windsor shared the pressure. Bai Xiaoxi, who suffered a heavy blow, escaped in a hurry and successfully distanced himself from the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.
Then, she quickly sent out the props, and together with Windsor, they formed a siege on the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.
After all, it was a fight to the death between five masters. As a bystander, it was hard to say that Jiang Qian could help.
Moreover, during the battle between the three of them, the screen he was watching was trembling and flickering all the time, and the larger ultimate move would cause a brief black screen...
Obviously, even if he wanted to intervene now, the equipment would not support it.
The fighting became more and more intense.
Jiang Qian's eyes were tightly focused on the turbulent surveillance footage, and he never relaxed for a moment.
He carefully observed the eternal Windsor, combined with the opponent's identity card "Black Jellyfish", and thought about how to deal with this character after the defeat of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.
Never taking chances and making adequate preparations are the important reasons why Jiang Qian is still alive and well so far.
But the battle situation in "Narrow Road" is unpredictable:
The eternal Windsor suddenly broke down and resisted the light at the cost of eight hundred losses. She wrapped the Golden Eagle Martial Saint in layers with thousands of black threads and bound her tightly!
"It's over. It's a tough nut to crack."
Bai Xiaoxi approached with Windsor's words, aiming at the tightly tied Golden Eagle Martial Saint.
Her movements were elegant and extremely fast, and she instantly came to the black "cocoon" like a marionette, and stopped there - without any visible energy output, the thick cocoon that was wrapped around it was visibly shaken!
Jiang Qian's eyes were focused. He was sure that this silent attack must have caused considerable damage in the spiritual realm...
The cocoon wrapped in hair twisted and twitched. At the same time, the eternal Windsor looked up to the sky and howled - her hands suddenly pulled her long hair tightly, her expression was frightened, and her eyes widened exaggeratedly!
The remaining black hair of hers danced wildly in the air, and as her body softened, it all fell to the ground...
At this time, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint had also broken free from his restraints and emerged from his cocoon.
His long sword hit Windsor's chest without any delay!
Jiang Qian suddenly realized.
Senior intelligence officer Bai Xiaoxi actually did not betray, her attack was on Eternal Windsor from the beginning.
"Thank you for your hard work~" Bai Xiaoxi said to the Golden Eagle Martial Saint as he took off the remaining hair on his body.
It turned out that he was controlled by Windsor... The corner of Jiang Qian's mouth rose. He must have had another reason for the "fatal blow" that the Golden Eagle Martial Saint dealt to Bai Xiaoxi before. Most of the time, he had already released his control.
"You're welcome." The Golden Eagle Martial Saint pulled out the weapon from Windsor without looking back.
The suddenly intensified light in front of him was like a volley of thousands of arrows, causing the dying Windsor to let out a heartbreaking howl again!
"Ahhh-who are you?! Who-are you?!"
"you do not need to know."
The light suddenly skyrocketed!
The eternal Windsor and her hair falling all over the floor were turned into chips in the soaring light...
Jiang Qian fully understands that being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. The Golden Eagle Martial Saint must ensure that nothing goes wrong. He must confirm that he has killed his opponent.
But, when did these two leaders join forces?
The Golden Eagle Martial Saint had not mentioned a word about them before.
While Jiang Qian was thinking to himself, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint in the surveillance video suddenly shook his body and his eyes gradually froze.
When Jiang Qian noticed something strange, the upright body of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint had collapsed, and together with the eternal Windsor, turned into chips all over the floor...
"!"
Jiang Qian's eyes focused.
A proud smile gradually appeared on Bai Xiaoxi's kind face.
She stepped closer to the chips stacked on the ground, condescendingly, with a trace of apology in her tone:
"Thank you for your hard work."
…
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Qian completely understood Bai Xiaoxi's purpose.
She didn't betray, but what she wanted was to win alone!
This is in line with Jiang Qian's understanding of the meaning of camp: starting from the second night's gambling game, although the concept of "camp" confrontation was set up, no actual constraints and restrictions were given.
People in the same camp can cooperate, but they can also betray each other without any punishment or price.
Therefore, the "camp" set up here in the dungeon is an organizational form with extremely low betrayal costs.
Jiang Qian speculated that the reason why the Golden Eagle Martial Saint did not set up defenses may be because everyone participating in the actual combat assessment originally belonged to the "same camp" - the lawful official! In the face of external threats together, relying on each other,
Trust seems to be a given.
However, when foreign enemies were eradicated, this "mutual dependence" relationship finally came to an end.
If Bai Xiaoxi wants to monopolize the victory, she must get rid of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint who is also a master of the five forms as soon as possible.
After all, the latter's reaction was a bit slow...
Seeing Bai Xiaoxi pocket the chips of Eternal Windsor and Golden Eagle Martial Saint, and then continue to explore upwards, Jiang Qian quickly switched the surveillance screen, looking for Ye Xiaojing, Princess Senxi or Duke Rose.
Soon, Jiang Qian found Ye Xiaojing on the third floor.
By the way, I discovered Duke Rose who had just come out of the room and began to continue exploring the "maze".
The distance between the two people is not far.
Jiang Qian immediately read out the password and spent 10 million to dial Ye Xiaojing:
"Xiao Jing?"
Ye Xiaojing, who was moving forward cautiously, suddenly stopped, quickly turned around and looked around, but did not see anyone.
"Don't be nervous, it's me, talking to you in the safe house."
"Jiang Qian...how could you?" Ye Xiaojing lowered his voice, still a little hesitant.
This is understandable. Among super-species players, there are those with relevant abilities who can change the sound conditions and imitate people familiar to their opponents to deceive them. Many props can also do this.
So Jiang Qian quickly and briefly explained why he was able to contact her, and told her the secret code they had used earlier.
This password contains letters and numbers and is tailor-made for Ye Xiaojing.
"Do you believe it's me now?"
"..."
The surveillance picture was too blurry and Ye Xiaojing's red cheeks could not be seen. Jiang Qian went straight to the topic: "Why did you and the Golden Eagle Martial Saint break up?"
"We tried to find rooms separately, but then we didn't meet again."
"I understand, it doesn't matter. Now I can see the layout and flow of people on the entire floor. From the 3rd to the 7th floor, I can lead you to your room."
"Great, but..." Ye Xiaojing responded with some hesitation, "I can feel that there is another person nearby. This person...maybe an enemy!"
"It's the Duke of Roses."
Jiang Qian revealed the answer straightforwardly: "I can see this guy, but we don't need to pay attention to him now. The chips on this guy have been drained by Senior Bai Xiaoxi. You can't gain any benefit from fighting him now. Just
Go to your room."
Ye Xiaojing felt something was wrong from Jiang Qian's tone: "Is there something you can't talk about?"
"Yes, but time is running out now. It's not too late to talk after I take you to the room."
"Okay, how should I go?"
The ensuing conversation between the two was concise and to the point.
Under Jiang Qian's guidance, Ye Xiaojing successfully found the room number corresponding to the room card in his hand on the third floor.
When the five minutes were about to expire, Ye Xiaojing opened the door and asked, "Is it convenient to talk now?"
"You go into the room first and do as I say. I will call you again in 5 minutes."
When the time is up, the call is cut off.
Watching Ye Xiaojing's door close, Jiang Qian quickly switched the camera and carefully browsed the situation on each floor:
Bai Xiaoxi, who acted quickly, has found the stairs from the 4th floor to the 5th floor and is currently on the 5th floor to continue exploring; Rose Duke has just climbed to the 4th floor.
Judging from the behavior of the two of them, it seems that they both want to "get to the next level"...
why?
What's upstairs?
safe house.
This is part of the answer that Jiang Qian knows, and the other part of the answer needs to be learned from Ye Xiaojing later.
Jiang Qian suspected that there would be messages left in the room for the guests. This was probably the reason why Duke Rose came out of the guest room and actively climbed upstairs.
In addition, Princess Senxi never appeared in his sight.
Combined with the previous records of the Beidou button camera and the number of people revealed by the NPC at the front desk, it is almost certain that Princess Senxi was offline when she was in the central casino.
With a sigh, Jiang Qian switched the screen back to Ye Xiaojing's door.
Ye Xiaojing also happened to come out of the room at this time.
Jiang Qian paid to dial the line...
"Xiao Jing?"
"Is it safe around me?"
"Safety."
"Okay, Jiang Qian, listen to me first."
Ye Xiaojing said, holding up an envelope and quickly explaining:
"There is an envelope placed on the table in the guest room. What is written in the envelope is how to win the third night's gambling game. There is only one line: Climb to the 8th floor!"
8th floor?
Jiang Qian gradually concentrated.
He can currently only view the situation on the 3rd to 7th floors through surveillance. The 8th floor, including the 9th and 10th floors where the safe house is located, are areas beyond the reach of the monitoring equipment he currently controls.
"What exactly is on the 8th floor?"
"To tell you the truth, I can't see it either."
Unless someone goes to see it for themselves.
Jiang Qian looked at Ye Xiaojing in the surveillance screen, and Ye Xiaojing seemed to be waiting for him to speak.
"The Eternal Windsor has been eliminated. The Golden Eagle Martial Saint has been killed by Bai Xiaoxi. Diting Wanjie and I are on the 9th and 10th floors."
"……Um."
"It's clear that level 8 is the key to winning the hotel maze game."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are Bai Xiaoxi and Rose Duke already on their way?"
"Yes, senior Bai Xiaoxi is already on the fifth floor."
"Lead the way." Ye Xiaojing said without any nonsense.
When masters compete against each other, every second counts.
In the current situation, there are only five people left who are not out, namely: Ye Xiaojing, Rose Duke, Bai Xiaoxi, as well as Jiang Qian and Di Ting Wanjie who are in the safe house.
If you still sit back and watch your opponent continue to advance to the next level, you will become a piece of meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others.
The distribution of stairs in the hotel is as chaotic as the distribution of rooms, and the structure is completely unreasonable.
Because of this, the important role of the "command" is reflected.
When Ye Xiaojing successfully climbed to the 4th floor according to Jiang Qian's guidance, Bai Xiaoxi and Rose Duke happened to have an encounter on the 5th floor!
Jiang Qian knew this was an opportunity.
"Quick, let's pass in front while they are busy!"
Ye Xiaojing walked like flying. Following Jiang Qian's guidance, she quickly climbed the stairs to the 5th floor of the passage. After going upstairs, she made a big circle at the fastest speed to avoid Bai Xiaoxi and Rose Duke.
Battlefield, go straight to the 6th floor!
"Finally escaped," Ye Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, still concerned about the current situation, "What happened to the two of them?"
"There is no suspense. Duke Rose's revenge failed, and Teacher Bai made another million." Jiang Qian stared at the monitor.
"Really? Then she can be considered the richest man." Ye Xiaojing passed through the corridor like the wind.
"That's right...wait, turn left!"
Jiang Qian roughly estimated that after the three rounds of gambling that night, Bai Xiaoxi's own chips would be 166 million; plus the 100 million from Eternal Windsor and about 150 million from Golden Eagle Martial Saint, the total worth has exceeded 4
100 million!
Even if he, Ye Xiaojing, and Tingting Wanjie combined could not catch up...
But this senior intelligence officer didn't seem to show any signs of showing mercy to them.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qian couldn't help but smile.
This is normal!
The turbulent "gamble" has come to an end, and there is really no reason to be merciful at this time.
"What's next?" came a familiar voice.
Jiang Qian focused on the surveillance screen. Ye Xiaojing had arrived near the stairwell on the seventh floor.
No need to hesitate any longer.
"Turn right and go straight, then turn left at the second fork."
After a while: "I saw it, go to the stairs to the 8th floor!"
Jiang Qian loosened his clenched fists, looked away from the 6th floor where Bai Xiaoxi was, and said to Ye Xiaojing who was standing at the stairs on the 8th floor:
