"Spy?" Qi Xia pondered for a moment, not understanding the meaning of this identity card.

If there were spies among the four people, their identities should be kept secret. But Dog of Earth allowed everyone to verify each other's identities from the beginning, and even allowed the exchange of identity cards. What kind of game were they playing?

"Do you all want to exchange identities?" Dog of Earth asked, standing at the front desk of the hotel.

Qi Xia looked at the cards in everyone's hands and felt a bit troubled.

He had no idea what game they were going to play next. How could he find out which identity was the most important?

If the "spy" identity was meant to sabotage team cooperation, then this card was perfect for Old Lv.

He wasn't very smart, so it wouldn't be difficult for Qi Xia to deal with him.

But what were the "sender" and "receiver" for?

"Qi Xia, let's exchange." Lin Qin handed her "sender" card forward. "Although I don't understand the meaning of these two identities, based on the literal meaning, the 'sender' comes first and the 'receiver' comes second. I'll be the first one, and if you're the 'receiver,' at least you'll have some room to maneuver."

Qi Xia thought Lin Qin made a reasonable point.

It was indeed necessary for him to be the "second player."

"Alright, let's exchange."

The two exchanged cards, and Lin Qin became the "sender" while Qi Xia became the "receiver."

"Um..." Old Lv held his card in his hand, unsure of what to do. "I, I have this..."

Qi Xia patted his shoulder and said, "Old Lv, no matter what the 'spy' mission is, just do your part. Remember that we are a team, and think more when necessary."

Old Lv nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite. Qi Xia then turned to Zhang Chenze.

She was holding a "hostage" card absentmindedly, her body soaked. Qi Xia could imagine the coldness she must be feeling.

"Zhang Lawyer, are you okay?" Qi Xia asked.

"This 'hostage'..." Zhang Chenze's lips moved slightly. "Could it be the kind of hostage tied up in a fish tank?"

Qi Xia seriously pondered this question for a moment and nodded. "It's possible. Do you want to exchange with me?"

"No need..." Zhang Chenze shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Maybe none of you are as experienced as I am. It's better for me to be the 'hostage'."

Seeing the forced expression on Zhang Chenze's face, Qi Xia didn't know how to persuade her and could only say calmly, "Don't worry, I will save you."

"I'm not worried about my situation, I just hope you don't hurt yourself in the process."

Qi Xia and the others confirmed their identities, and the opposing team had also finished exchanging cards.

The green-haired, golden-haired, and bald individuals were the "sender," "receiver," and "hostage" respectively, and the only girl in their team was the "spy."

The girl seemed dissatisfied with her identity, as if someone had exchanged with her.

"Now that both sides have chosen their identities, please line up." Dog of Earth said with a smile.

Qi Xia was slightly stunned. He noticed that when Dog of Earth smiled, all the muscles on his face moved, as if he wasn't wearing a dog mask, but actually had a real dog's head.

"First, please have the player who drew the 'spy' card step forward." Dog of Earth extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

After some contemplation, Old Lv and the girl stepped forward.

"Please give them a round of applause!!" Dog of Earth clapped his hands on his own.

No one moved, silently listening to the dull applause echoing on its own.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you both for drawing the highest survival rate identity in this game."

"Highest survival rate?" Both of them frowned simultaneously.

"That's right. From now on, due to the special identity of the 'spy,' you will be acting in the opposing team." Dog of Earth explained while gesturing with his hand. "You have two ways to complete the mission. First, be a good 'spy' and help the original team win, thus ensuring the survival of the entire team. Second, you can abandon your original team and help the current team win the game. As long as the team you are in is willing to accept you at the critical moment, you may survive with a new identity."

Old Lv tried to understand this and then asked, "So, we are not 'spies,' but 'double agents'? Whether we help either team win, it counts as a win for us?"

"That's right, as long as the new team is willing to accept you, you win." Dog of Earth nodded with a smile.

Qi Xia felt that this rule had some loopholes and asked, "Then why are there two spies? Wouldn't one be enough if they can switch sides?"

"Good question." Dog of Earth nodded. "This is the most interesting part of this game. If the new team wants to accept a 'spy,' they must abandon the 'spy' sent by their own team. In other words, a team can have a maximum of four people, and there can't be a situation where two 'spies' join the same camp."

After saying this, Qi Xia's face turned a bit ugly.

Indeed, everything that happened here was beyond his plan.

So, spies could betray after all?Before Qi Xia could say anything, Old Lv turned his head and asked, "Qi, you guys won't abandon me, will you?"

Qi Xia stared into Old Lv's eyes for a moment before counter-questioning, "What about you?"

"Why would I abandon you guys? I paid for all four 'Dao' Tickets." Old Lv said somewhat anxiously, "The winning team gets five 'Dao' each, plus the spoils from the opponent, right? But you guys are so poor, only that lawyer has a few 'Dao'. If I help the other side kill you, I can only gain a maximum of five 'Dao', which means I would only earn one 'Dao' after all the hard work."

Qi Xia nodded and said, "It's good that you understand this. I won't abandon you."

"Well, we have a deal then." Old Lv grabbed Qi Xia's hand, "I'll try my best to mess up the other side and help you guys win the match."

"Hold on." Qi Xia pulled Old Lv in front of him and whispered, "There are a few things I need to discuss with you."

...

On the other side, the girl who was also a 'spy' was troubled after hearing the rules. She went to her boyfriend, Green Hair, and said unwillingly, "What's going on? I have to join the other team?"

"Don't worry, babe." Green Hair wrapped his arm around the woman's waist, "You're just going through the motions. How could those old, weak, sick, and disabled possibly beat you?"

"You're not going to take this opportunity to dump me, are you?" the woman asked.

"What are you talking about? If I don't want you, would I want that old man?" Green Hair pulled the woman closer, their faces almost touching, "In some ways, you're much more important than him."

"You're so shameless..."

After they finished speaking, they embraced each other and started kissing without regard for their surroundings.
