Chapter 72 – Identity card

After tidying up, everyone followed Old Lv to the game venue.

Perhaps, as Old Lv himself said, because he often set up stalls on the street, he was particularly familiar with the complex alleys in the city.

Everyone followed him through various small alleys, and Qi Xia felt lost several times.

But Old Lv seemed to be strolling leisurely, turning left and right.

During this time, Qi Xia also saw the "numbers" that Old Lv mentioned several times. In addition to the "52" he had seen before, Qi Xia also saw "19" and "34".

He speculated that Old Lv might be right, and these numbers were just marks someone wrote to remember the way.

After about twenty minutes, everyone arrived in front of a dilapidated hotel.

The "dog" was standing at the door, seemingly talking to a few people.

Qi Xia and the others approached and their faces changed instantly.

The "dog" mask in front of them was too realistic. It was the face of a large bulldog. His black suit was shiny, and his close-fitting shirt was spotless.

"It's the 'Dog of Earth'..." Qi Xia was stunned.

Zhang Chenze blinked and asked, "What does 'Dog of Earth' mean? Isn't it the 'Dog of Human'?"

"The 'Dog of Earth' is one level higher than the 'Dog of Human'..." Qi Xia rubbed his chin and said, "In the 'Prefecture-level' game, people can die."

"People can die..." Zhang Chenze was taken aback, "Should we still participate?"

"Well..."

Qi Xia frowned and thought for a moment. Even though it was "Prefecture-level," the game was still a "cooperative" one. As long as the four of them worked together, Qi Xia was confident they could win.

Thinking of this, he turned around and looked at Zhang Chenze and Old Lv cautiously, saying, "Can you guarantee that you will follow my arrangements?"

"Sure." Zhang Chenze nodded.

"I can." Old Lv also agreed.

Qi Xia felt relieved after hearing their responses.

"That's great, someone is here!" a shout came from the direction of the dog, "Can we start now?"

Qi Xia turned his head and saw that the young people around the dog were looking in their direction.

"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a team of four?" Qi Xia asked Old Lv in confusion.

"I don't know either. The dog told me this morning that only a team of four can participate."

Qi Xia walked forward to take a look at the four people beside the dog.

Three men and one woman.

They all looked to be in their twenties. One man and one woman were hugging each other, seemingly a couple.

These people looked like troublemakers, with their hair dyed in various colors. They didn't give Qi Xia a good impression at first sight.

If Qiao Jiajin gave the impression of a well-known thug among thugs, then these young people were like the bottom-level lackeys in the world of thugs.

"Do you want to participate in my game?" the dog's deep voice suddenly sounded, "Each person gets a 'Dao,' and life and death are up to fate. The losing team will be eliminated, and the surviving team will receive five 'Dao' each as a reward, as well as all the spoils of the eliminated team."

"Eliminated all members?!" Everyone was stunned.

"What are the rules?" Qi Xia asked coldly.

"Pay the ticket and you'll know the rules."

"Here we go again..."

Qi Xia shook his head helplessly. Just like with the game of the Ox of Earth, they didn't know what they would encounter until they paid the ticket.

"Hey, are you guys going or not?" a troublemaker with green hair looked impatient, "Are you scared before even playing?"

Qi Xia ignored the green-haired guy and thought for a while before asking, "Dog of Earth, will your game have 'random team formation'?"

"Random team formation..." Old Lv and Lin Qin seemed to have thought of something.

This was indeed a problem. If the Dog of Earth followed the Ox of Earth's example and suddenly disrupted the team formation after paying the ticket, the outcome would be unpredictable.

"No, it won't," the Dog of Earth said, "You will remain in your current teams, and all your efforts will be for the benefit of the team."

Hearing this, Qi Xia finally relaxed.

It seemed that this was a completely "team cooperation" type of game, but there were two teams on-site, and they would most likely compete against each other.

Old Lv saw that Qi Xia was hesitating all along and quickly took out four "Dao" and handed them over.

"Old Lv..." Qi Xia frowned, "What are you doing?"

"I'll treat you this time." Old Lv smirked, "If we win in the end, give me a little more."

"I don't want to give you more." Qi Xia said, "The 'Dao' we win will be divided equally among everyone, otherwise I'll leave now."

"Well..."

Old Lv sighed and then reluctantly nodded, "Alright, alright... You're really stingy."

Both teams paid the ticket.

To everyone's surprise, after paying the ticket, the Dog of Earth's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees. He happily danced and let the eight people into the house as if he were welcoming guests.

"Please come in, everyone!" the Dog of Earth said with a smile, "Welcome to my game venue!"

Although everyone looked puzzled, they could only follow reluctantly.

After entering the house, Qi Xia looked around the dilapidated hotel.

The interior structure was relatively simple, with a long corridor on each side, and several rooms on each corridor.

"I wonder if you guys like spy dramas?" the Dog of Earth rubbed his hands and asked.

Qi Xia noticed that the back of the Dog of Earth's hand was furry, as if he was wearing very realistic gloves.

"Spy dramas? Who watches that stuff?" one of the blond troublemakers shook his head, "Stop talking nonsense and tell us what we're going to play."

"You're really impatient..." the Dog of Earth took out two stacks of cards from the front desk drawer and handed them over, saying, "Although you are a team of four, each person has their own identity card in the team. Now, please draw your identities."Qi Xia glanced at the stack of identity cards, which looked very similar to the card he first saw when he met Goat of Human. The words "The Goddess Nüwa game" were written on the back of each card.

Standing at the front of the line, Lin Qin took four cards and then turned around and asked, "Who wants to draw first?"

"It doesn't matter, you deal the cards," Zhang Chenze said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin nodded, shuffled the cards face down, and then dealt them one by one to the three of them.

Qi Xia took the 'Identity card' and looked at it, his face full of confusion.

It read 'Sender'.

"Do we need to keep this a secret?" Old Lv held the card against his chest and asked cautiously.

Everyone looked at Dog of Earth.

"No need," Dog of Earth said with a smile, "Team members can check each other's identities. If you like, you can also exchange identities."

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around Qi Xia, forming a circle.

They flipped over their cards one by one, and each person's identity was different.

Qi Xia's identity was 'Sender'.

Lin Qin's identity was 'Receiver'.

Zhang Chenze's identity was 'Hostage'.

"What about yours?" Qi Xia looked at Old Lv, noticing that he was reluctant to reveal his card.

"I...this...how should I put it..."

At this point, Qi Xia didn't ask any further, he directly grabbed Old Lv's wrist and forcibly revealed the card.

It read 'Spy'.
