super species player.

Chapter 451 "Big Gamble" Backstab?
Bai Xiaoxi was secretly building up his strength, and it only took a moment for the speed to increase from slow to fast!

The phantom flashes...

Although Jiang Qian had not seen this kind of plot for the first time, he was still somewhat shocked when it really happened between two high-ranking officials.

However, since it happened between high-ranking officials, how could it be so easy to backstab them?
The Golden Eagle Martial Saint seemed to have eyes on his back. He gently turned sideways without any warning and dodged an invisible dart. When he looked back, he had already drawn his weapon and launched a surprise attack!

Bai Xiaoxi quickly responded, fighting and retreating under the thunderous attack of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, gradually approaching the corner...

Jiang Qian couldn't help but concentrate, and slowly clenched his hands that were supporting himself on the table.

At the critical moment, behind Bai Xiaoxi, in the visual blind spot of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, a black "wave" like ink suddenly surged out!
This huge wave licked the narrow wall around it and suddenly swept towards the two people who were fighting.

The screen in front of him trembled a few times, and when it regained clarity, the three parties were already engaged in a melee!
The powerful energy entanglement continued to shake the already precarious surveillance footage.

Jiang Qian held his breath and concentrated, finally figuring out what was going on from the three people's aggressive moves:
The one lurking around the corner for a surprise attack is none other than Eternal Windsor from the enemy camp. She seems to have instigated Bai Xiaoxi to rebel, and the two are teaming up to deal with the Golden Eagle Martial Saint, who is considered to be the strongest person in their own camp!
Eternal Windsor's thick hair gathered like waves and spread out to penetrate every hole. It made several dangerous attacks but was burned away by the golden light surrounding the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.

This gave Jiang Qian the opportunity to witness the difference in texture between "integrating" into natural forces and "coexisting" with natural forces.

After all, the realm of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint is still slightly higher than that of the Eternal Windsor.

In this narrow "street fight", the Golden Eagle Martial Saint displayed extraordinary dominance and sharpness. Not only did Windsor's long-range surprise attack fail, but Bai Xiaoxi, who tried to take the advantage at close range, was pinned against the wall by a sweeping kick!
The hotel wall immediately shook a few times, and the wall cracked in a spider web shape. Bai Xiaoxi, who was hit in the vitals, choked and choked with blood...

"Wow, this wall is quite strong..." Jiang Qian sighed to himself.

The Eternal Windsor's waves of crushing and the Golden Eagle's fists and feet of heavy blows, these two five-state masters' supernatural powers only caused a few cracks? It seems that the specifications of this hotel are more restricted than the prison of high-ranking license holders.

In comparison, Bai Xiaoxi's performance seemed a little weak, which surprised Jiang Qian.

The abilities that this headquarters intelligence officer has demonstrated so far are mostly based on psychological attacks, and he often avoids fighting. It seems that there is a reason for this.

Fortunately, with the help of Eternal Windsor, Bai Xiaoxi, who had suffered a heavy blow, escaped in a panic and successfully distanced himself from the Golden Eagle Martial Saint.

Then, she quickly sent out the props, and together with Windsor, she surrounded the Golden Eagle Martial Saint from the front and back.

After all, it was a fight to the death between five kinds of masters, and as a bystander, Jiang Qian could hardly be of any help.

Moreover, during the three-person match, the screen he was watching was shaking and flickering all the time, and when a bigger move was released, it would cause a brief black screen...

It was obvious that even if he wanted to intervene at this moment, the equipment would not allow it.

The fighting intensified.

Jiang Qian's eyes were fixed on the turbulent surveillance footage, never relaxing for a moment.

He carefully observed the Eternal Windsor, combined with the opponent's identity card "Black Jellyfish", thinking about how to deal with this person after the Golden Eagle Martial Saint was defeated.

Never taking chances and making adequate preparations are the important reasons why Jiang Qian is still alive today.

But the battle situation in the "narrow road" is unpredictable:

The eternal Windsor suddenly burned his boats and resisted the burning light at the cost of eight hundred lives, wrapping the Golden Eagle Martial Saint with thousands of black silk threads and binding him tightly!

"It's over. It's a tough nut to crack."

Bai Xiaoxi approached as Windsor spoke, aiming at the tied-up Golden Eagle Martial Saint.

Her movements were graceful and her speed was incredibly fast. She instantly came in front of the black "cocoon" like a puppet and stopped there - there was no visible energy output, but the heavily wrapped heavy cocoon was visibly shaken!
Jiang Qian's eyes were fixed, 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 wailed to the sky—her hands suddenly pulled her long hair tightly, her expression was terrified, and her eyes widened exaggeratedly!
The remaining black hair fluttered 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 struck Windsor's chest without any delay!
Jiang Qian suddenly understood.

Senior intelligence officer Bai Xiaoxi did not actually betray, her attack was the Eternal Windsor from the very beginning.

"Thank you very much, you have worked hard~" Bai Xiaoxi said to the Golden Eagle Martial Saint as she took off the remaining hair on her body.

It turned out that he was controlled by Windsor... Jiang Qian's mouth curled up. He thought that the "fatal blow" that the Golden Eagle Martial Saint gave to Bai Xiaoxi before must have had other reasons, and he might have lifted the control by then.

“You’re welcome.” The Golden Eagle Martial Saint pulled out his weapon from Windsor without even turning his head.

The sudden intensification of the brilliant light in front of him was like a thousand arrows, causing the dying Windsor to let out another heart-wrenching howl!
“Ahhhh——Who are you!! Who are you?!”

"you do not need to know."

The light suddenly surged!

The eternal Windsor and her hair falling all over the ground were turned into chips in the surging light...

Jiang Qian fully understood that being kind to the enemy would be cruel to himself. The Golden Eagle Martial Saint must ensure that everything is foolproof and he must make sure that he has killed his opponent.

But when did these two leaders join forces?
The Golden Eagle Martial Saint had never mentioned a word to them before.

Jiang Qian was pondering when the Golden Eagle Martial Saint in the surveillance video suddenly trembled and his eyes gradually froze.

When Jiang Qian noticed something was wrong, the upright body of the Golden Eagle Martial Saint had collapsed, and together with the Eternal Windsor, it turned into chips all over the ground...

"!"

Jiang Qian's eyes focused.

A smug smile gradually appeared on Bai Xiaoxi's kind face.

She walked closer to the chips piled on the ground, looking down at them with a hint of apology in her tone:
"Thank you for your hard work."

……

It was not 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 exactly in line with Jiang Qian's understanding of the meaning of camp: starting from the second night's gambling, although the concept of "camp" confrontation was set up, no real constraints and restrictions were given.

People in the same camp can cooperate with each other, but they can also betray each other without any punishment or cost.

Therefore, the "camp" set up here in the copy is an organizational form with extremely low costs of betrayal.

Jiang Qian guessed that the reason why the Golden Eagle Martial Saint had not set up defenses was probably because the people who participated in the actual combat assessment originally belonged to the "same camp" - the lawful officials! When facing external threats together, it seemed natural for them to rely on and trust each other.

However, when the external enemies were eradicated, this relationship of "mutual dependence" finally came to an end.

If Bai Xiaoxi wants to take all the credit for 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.

The latter was a beat slower in reaction after all...

Seeing Bai Xiaoxi pocketing the chips of Eternal Windsor and Golden Eagle Martial Saint, and then continuing to explore upwards, Jiang Qian quickly switched the surveillance screen, looking for Ye Xiaojing, Princess Senxi or the Duke of Rose.

Soon, Jiang Qianxian found Ye Xiaojing on the 3rd floor.

By the way, I found Rose Duke who had just come out of the room and began to continue exploring the "maze".

The two people were not far apart.

Jiang Qian immediately read out the password and spent 1000 million to call Ye Xiaojing:

"Xiao Jing?"

Ye Xiaojing, who was walking forward cautiously, suddenly stopped, turned around quickly and looked around, but did not see any figure.

"Don't be nervous, it's me, talking to you from the safe house."

"Jiang Qian...how could you?" Ye Xiaojing lowered his voice, still a little hesitant.

There is nothing wrong with this. Among the super-species players, those with relevant abilities can change the sound conditions and imitate people familiar to the opponent 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 shared earlier.

This code contains letters and numbers, and is tailor-made for Ye Xiaojing. "Do you believe it's me now?"

"..."

The surveillance footage was too blurry to see Ye Xiaojing's flushed cheeks, so Jiang Qian went straight to the point: "How did you and the Golden Eagle Martial Saint break up?"

"We tried to find the room separately, and then we didn't run into each other again."

"I understand. It's okay. 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."

"That's great, but..." Ye Xiaojing replied hesitantly, "I can sense that there is another person nearby. This person... might be an enemy!"

"It's the Duke of Rose."

Jiang Qian gave the answer directly: "I can see this guy, but we don't need to pay attention to him now. Senior Bai Xiaoxi has drained all the chips on this person. You won't gain any advantage by fighting him now. Just go to your room."

Ye Xiaojing sensed something was wrong in Jiang Qian's tone: "Is there something you can't say?"

"Yes, but time is tight now. It won't be too late to talk after I take you to the room."

"Okay, how do I get there?"

The following conversation between the two was brief 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 3rd floor.

When the five minutes were almost up, Ye Xiaojing opened the door and asked, "Is it convenient to talk now?"

"Go into the room first and do what I say. I'll call you back in 5 minutes."

When the time is up, the call is disconnected.

Watching Ye Xiaojing's door close, Jiang Qian quickly switched cameras and carefully scanned the situation on each floor again:
Bai Xiaoxi, who acted quickly, had already found the stairs leading from the 4th floor to the 5th floor and was currently on the 5th floor continuing to explore; the Duke of Rose had just reached the 4th floor.

Judging from their actions, they both seem to want to "go 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 might be some information left in the room for the guests, which was probably the reason why Rose Duke came out of the guest room and actively climbed upstairs.

In addition, Princess Senxi never appeared in his sight.

Considering the previous records of Beidou's button camera and the number of people revealed by the front desk NPC, it is almost certain that Princess Senxi had already gone offline when she was in the central gambling hall.

With a light sigh, Jiang Qian cut the scene back to Ye Xiaojing's door.

Ye Xiaojing 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 explained:

"There was an envelope on the table in the guest room. Inside the envelope was written the instructions on how to win the third night's gambling game. There was only one line of words: Climb to the 8th floor!"

The 8th floor?

Jiang Qian gradually focused his attention.

他目前能够通过监控查看的只有3层到7层楼的情况，第8层，包括安全屋所在的第9层、第10层都是他目前所掌控的监控设备所不能及的领域。

"What exactly is on the 8th floor?"

"To be honest, I can't see it either."

Unless someone goes and 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.

"Eternal Windsor is out, the Golden Eagle Martial Saint was killed by Bai Xiaoxi, and Di Ting Wanjie and I are on the 9th and 10th floors."

"……Um."

"It's clear that the 8th floor is the key to winning the hotel maze game."

"Are Bai Xiaoxi and Rose Duke on their way?"

"Yes, Senior Bai Xiaoxi is already on the 5th 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, namely: Ye Xiaojing, Rose Duke, Bai Xiaoxi, as well as Jiang Qian and Di Ting Wanjie who are in the safe house.

If you remain silent and watch your opponent continue to advance, you will become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered at will.

The distribution of stairs in the hotel is as chaotic as the distribution of rooms, and the structure is completely unreasonable.

It is for this reason that the important role of the "command center" is reflected.

When Ye Xiaojing successfully climbed to the 4th floor according to Jiang Qian's instructions, Bai Xiaoxi and Duke of Rose happened to have an encounter on the 5th floor!
Jiang Qian knew that this was an opportunity.

"Hurry, let's get through first while they're all busy!"

Ye Xiaojing walked very fast, and following Jiang Qian's instructions, he quickly climbed the stairs to the 5th floor of the passage. After going upstairs, he made a big circle at the fastest speed, avoiding the battlefield between Bai Xiaoxi and Rose Duke, and went straight to the 6th floor!
"Finally got away," Ye Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief, still concerned about the current situation, "What happened to those two?"

"No surprise, the Rose Duke's revenge failed, and Teacher Bai earned another million." Jiang Qian said, staring at the monitor.

"Really? Then she can be considered the richest person." Ye Xiaojing rushed 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 amounted to 1.66 million; plus the 1 million on Eternal Windsor and about 1.5 million on Golden Eagle Martial Saint, his total net worth exceeded 4 million!
Even if he, Ye Xiaojing, and Di Ting Wanjie were combined, they couldn't catch up...

But this senior intelligence officer didn't seem to show any sign of showing mercy to their men.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qian couldn't help but smile.

This is normal!

The turbulent "big gamble" has come to an end. There is really no reason to show mercy at this time.

"What should we do next?" a familiar voice came.

Jiang Qian focused on the surveillance screen and saw that Ye Xiaojing had already arrived near the stairs on the 7th floor.

There is no need to hesitate any longer.

"Turn right and go straight, then turn left at the second fork."

After a while: "I see it, the stairs to the 8th floor!"

Jiang Qian loosened his clenched fists, withdrew his gaze from the 6th floor where Bai Xiaoxi was, and said to Ye Xiaojing who was standing at the staircase on the 8th floor:
"Come on, it's up to you."
