Chapter 74 – The choice of lawyer

"Dog of Earth, what about the remaining rules?" Qi Xia asked, "What exactly is this game about?"

"Please follow me, I will explain as we walk," Dog of Earth said.

As Dog of Earth spoke, he led everyone to a corridor in the hotel and said, "There are two parallel corridors in this hotel, and the layout of the corridors is exactly the same. The two teams will each occupy one corridor to start the game. The team that completes the mission first will be declared the winner."

After speaking, he pushed open the first door of the corridor, which had the words "Sender" written on it.

"This is the room of the sender," Dog of Earth said, "After the game starts, the two 'senders' can only stay in their respective rooms and cannot go out. Your task is to deliver a letter with a password."

The empty room only had a table, and everything on the table was clear at a glance.

There was a letter, an iron box, a golden key, and a golden lock.

After thinking for a while, Lin Qin asked, "Since we can't leave this room, how can we deliver the 'letter'?"

"It's simple, give the letter to the 'spy'," Dog of Earth said, "Please follow me."

He led everyone out of the room and onto the corridor.

"The corridor is the activity area for all the 'spies'. You will shuttle in your respective corridors and be responsible for delivering the letter."

"Let the 'spy' help deliver the letter?!" Everyone was stunned after hearing this.

"Have you all watched spy dramas?" Dog of Earth smiled and said, "Sometimes, even though you know that the sender is a spy, there are situations where you have to deliver the letter."

Everyone didn't know what to say after hearing this. Most of them were young people, and how many of them had studied spy dramas?

"What is this?" Lin Qin saw a small machine in the corridor.

The machine looked like an electric heater, with a small hole the size of a palm on top.

"This is a shredder," Dog of Earth said, "The 'spy' can throw anything they like into the shredder, including the letter, key, and lock. But it's worth mentioning that due to size limitations, the 'iron box' cannot be thrown in."

"So, we can let the 'spy' deliver anything?" Lin Qin asked, "Can we send a key separately?"

"That's right, as long as you are willing, you can let the spy go back and forth in the corridor multiple times," Dog of Earth said.

Everyone vaguely felt that this game was not simple, and the upcoming situation was completely unpredictable.

"That's all for the first part of the rules," Dog of Earth said with a smile, "Please 'senders' return to your own rooms. You don't need to participate in the next set of rules."

Lin Qin glanced at Qi Xia and slowly walked towards the room.

The golden-haired person from the other team also went to the other corridor and entered a room.

Qi Xia looked at the shredder in the corridor and suddenly felt some regret.

It seemed that the 'spy' was the most unpredictable role in this game.

"Both 'spies', no matter what you receive, you must deliver it within three minutes, unless you have already destroyed the item," Dog of Earth pointed to an electronic clock on the corridor with his hand. There was a three-minute countdown on it. "If the time reaches zero and the item has not been dealt with, there will be sanctions."

Old Lv and the girl were startled after hearing this. "Wasn't it said that our identities are the safest?"

"Of course, as long as you deliver or destroy the items, you will be safe," Dog of Earth said with a smile, "This rule is to prevent someone from delaying time."

Seeing that everyone was no longer speaking, Dog of Earth said again, "Please 'spies' stay, the rest of you follow me."

Old Lv and the girl stayed behind.

Dog of Earth led the remaining people forward.

Currently, there were only the 'recipient' and the 'hostage' left on both sides.

At the end of the corridor, there was another room with the words "Recipient" written on the door.

Dog of Earth pushed open the door, and inside, there was still a table with only a silver key and a silver lock on it.

In the corner of the room, there was a large device that looked like a refrigerator.

"This is the activity space for the 'recipient'," Dog of Earth said, "Besides the 'spy', you cannot contact anyone else."

After speaking, he walked to the side of the large device and said, "This cabinet is where the 'hostage' needs to stay. After the game starts, you will be trapped inside the cabinet."

Qi Xia took the lead to check the cabinet. There was an electronic display on the cabinet door, which currently showed "Unlocked".

The interior of the cabinet was also quite strange. The cabinet walls were made of metal and had many holes on them, making it look like...

"This is a large microwave oven that I customized," Dog of Earth said, "After half an hour, if no one opens the cabinet, the person inside will turn into meat."

The bald person beside him took a sharp breath. He was the 'hostage' of the opposing team.

"A microwave oven?! What the hell?!" He shouted and stepped back, "I don't want to go in!"

"Hey!" The golden-haired man grabbed him, "Stop messing around. If you retreat now, Mu will kill you after he goes out."

After hearing this, the bald person was clearly frightened.

"Well, I can't go into the microwave oven either..."

"Don't worry, how could these people be a match for Mu?" The golden-haired man grabbed the bald person's shoulder, "Believe in his abilities."

After thinking for a while, the bald person hesitated and nodded slightly.

"As for the 'recipient', your rules are no different from the 'sender'," Dog of Earth continued, "The only thing to note is that if you successfully receive the letter, please open the envelope immediately, decipher the door code inside, and rescue your teammate. The team that rescues their teammate first will be declared the winner."

Qi Xia saw that Zhang Chenze had been silent all along, so he asked in a calm tone, "Do you believe in me?"Zhang Chenze pondered for a moment before saying, "Qi Xia, I trust you, but this game is too unpredictable. In this room, you can't communicate with others, let alone discuss tactics. Even if I trust you, it doesn't mean you can definitely save me."

"This..." Qi Xia was momentarily at a loss for words.

Dog of Earth, seeing the two in conversation, inappropriately approached and said with a smile, "Even now, if you two want to swap roles, I won't object."

Hearing this, Qi Xia was taken aback and pulled out his 'Recipient' card to look at it.

Zhang Chenze had just escaped from a fish tank and was about to enter a microwave. Wasn't this too cruel for her?

"Attorney Zhang, logically speaking, I should indeed swap with you..." Qi Xia said with some difficulty, "Making you the hostage twice in a row is too..."

"It's okay." Zhang Chenze said, "Qi Xia, from the perspective of maximizing benefits, you should get this 'Recipient' card. Standing in the middle of the game, you will have a better control of the overall situation. Compared to others, I trust you more to unlock the door."

"Won't you feel it's too cruel to you?" Qi Xia asked.

"Cruel?" Zhang Chenze managed a smile, "As long as it's the right thing to do, it should be carried out unconditionally. Besides, my clothes are still wet, consider it a chance to dry them in there."
