The road to the top
Shen Lingshuang looked at Qiu Banxia, and then at Fike, and for a while didn't know if he should take a few steps back.
Because after Qiu Banxia said those words, the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little strange. Although he couldn't see Fike's expression under the mask, judging from his unnatural stiffened movements at that moment, Qiu Banxia's words may not have touched him at all.
After a few seconds, he spoke, "You go on." ”
Qiu Banxia nodded. "Resumes are fake, and it goes without saying. It's not uncommon for many company executives to spread rumors to increase their worth and then influence their bosses to make bad decisions, sacrifice the organization, and achieve their goal of climbing to a higher platform. But what struck me as strange was the process by which he did those things. Judging from his later approach, he could have easily risen to the top in the organization at the beginning, but in fact it took him a lot of time to go step by step. After achieving this goal, he changed his approach to achieve his goal. This process made me feel like I was conducting some kind of social experiment. Although he seems to be an inconsequential little character along the way, as if he will be replaced by others at any time, in fact, he has been walking very steadily, and the platform he is waiting for is getting higher and higher. If one is rotten, replace the next, and the nearest one, it's you. ”
Hearing this, Fick finally laughed: "Just him? You don't think I'm going to be swallowed by him in turn, do you? ”
"If it's just him, maybe it's a little bit underwhelming." Qiu Banxia said lightly, "Outside or in prison, he may influence Luo Baichuan on his own, because except for when they play games, their lives are actually not much different from ordinary prisons." But if he wants to do anything on this island, he has to resort to official power. That's why he's got you, and if he's going to deal with you, he's going to have to find another host who's better than you and join forces with him — think about it, have you ever been in contact with someone like that? ”
At this moment, the figure of a person flashed through the mind of "Kamen Man" Fike. Coincidentally, this person was also in the room at this time, looking at the surveillance screen as calmly as they did. Qiu Banxia's words just now were probably listened to by him, Fick thought, slowly turning his head away, just in time to meet the other party's gaze.
The latter grinned and smiled kindly.
Qiu Banxia also noticed the interaction between the two. Rather, she had expected the outcome before she said those words. Fick is the eleventh host in the rankings, and although the dozen of these hosts are technically indistinguishable, at least in terms of ranking, he is only one step away from the top ten hosts, and there are very few guys who are stronger than him.
And not everyone in this group participates in the White Night Festival. As far as Qiu Banxia knows, there are several high-ranking hosts who have stayed in their hometown at this time, or are on their way to this side. Although they have enough ability, they are obviously not able to guide Xiao Leping's actions through the air, and even escort him all the way.
The fourth "Abyss" Xu Wen, the fifth "Judge" Danqing, the sixth Huang Lao, and the seventh "fang" Bai Su who has not yet appeared, but is confirmed to be on the island, these are the several high-ranking hosts she knows who are currently on the island. But she also clearly knows that there is another person who cannot be ignored.
She turned her head and looked at the guy with a kind smile on his face.
"That's you." Qiu Banxia said, "Looking back now, the 'hole cards' you told me at the time wouldn't be the way to control these three people, right? ”
This person, of course, is the "puppeteer" Makoto Matsumoto. Half an hour ago, when Liang Jingmo left the game with victory, he had a conversation with Qiu Banxia, when he reminded the other party that there was a person on the field who made a slightly unreasonable move at that time, because he revealed the most important 'hole card' to this person, and this person had his own plans.
Now it seems that the two things he mentioned at that time can find their corresponding parts in Xiao Leping. Xiao Leping voted to send Liang Jingmo away at that time, although it can't be regarded as a wrong decision, but it is not necessarily the best practice, and the "hole card" proposed by Matsumoto Makoto at that time now seems to be the way for Xiao Leping to control these three people, maybe it is some secrets that he revealed to the other party in private.
It is reasonable to make such a guess at this time in the middle of autumn.
Matsumoto, however, shook his head. He shook his head, a look of disappointment.
"To be honest, before you said this, I thought you were at least a guy at the same level as Bai Su."
When he had said this, he stopped talking, just quietly stared at the monitoring screen, as if he was more interested in what would happen next. Qiu Banxia and Fike, the two high-ranking hosts, were left aside by him like this, and the atmosphere was quite embarrassing. Shen Lingshuang was thinking about whether to say a few words for her idol, but she saw Qiu Banxia and Fike glance at each other in unison, and then turned around at the same time and looked at one of the monitoring screens.
"Sister Qiu?" Shen Lingshuang was puzzled.
Qiu Banxia's face had become quite ugly at this time, but Shen Lingshuang could see that this ugly expression was not because of Matsumoto Makoto's ridicule just now, but because she and Fike thought of something at the same time. In fact, these high-ranking hosts are sometimes far more modest than outsiders think, and this is because most of them have clear self-knowledge, who is strong and who is weak, in their opinion, it is simply at a glance. They can be more arrogant than anyone else when they meet weak, and they will become more humble than anyone else when they meet someone stronger than themselves.
Autumn and Fike are like this, the content of Matsumoto's words is actually irrelevant, the point is that he denied the conjecture that Autumn and Summer just proposed, so this also means that what he really said at that time was actually pointing to another person......
"Ahh Shen Lingshuang screamed in hindsight. She jerked around and stared at the surveillance screen, at the man who didn't know what he was about to do.
But Autumn and Summer and Fick know.
These two hosts, who also came out of the "Three Kingdoms Game", know Shen Junhao's past and Xiao Leping's previous experience. In contrast, Makoto Matsumoto's "hole cards" are about to come out.
If he participated in the vote at that time, he would have been able to cause a tie and leave Liang Jingmo behind. However, he deliberately chose to sit back and watch, allowing Xiao Leping to successfully drive away his teammates. It wasn't a mistake, because he expected it to happen.
He had been waiting for an opportunity to get close to Xiao Leping, and now, the opportunity was near.
The party that was originally holding hostages was retreating at this time. Although Xiao Leping struggled hard, the restrained posture behind his back was really not conducive to exerting force, and he tried to struggle a few times, but he was still tightly held by Xiang Nanxing and dragged backwards. In order to prevent him from continuing to give instructions, Xiang Nanxing simply held the knife with his other hand and pressed it tightly on his mouth. In this way, the tip of the knife was almost attached to the lower part of his throat, no matter how bold Xiao Leping was, he didn't dare to make too much movement at this time.
Although he was ten percent sure that Xiang Nanxing would not dare to kill someone, he did not want to be hurt by this.
In front of them, Wang Bei and the others were approaching step by step with knives. They were still a little apprehensive when they heard Xiao Leping's order just now, but Xiang Nanxing's subsequent reaction made them realize that there was indeed an opportunity to take advantage of. These people are poisonous snakes that will never let go once they bite it, and they will naturally not let go of such a great opportunity at this time. It's just that before Xiao Leping had a chance to say further instructions, they didn't dare to go too far.
Xiao Leping's order was to "bypass Xiang Nanxing and him and kill Shen Junhao directly", so it seems that none of these three people actually executed the order perfectly. However, this was also because Xiang Nanxing dragged Xiao Leping in their way. If they took a detour, they would have to pass by the hosts. Although these people are afraid to step forward because of the masked man's intimidation at the moment, it does not mean that they dare not attack targets that are close to them.
In the end, they could only force Xiang Nanxing to move forward step by step like now, waiting for the time when the latter's physical strength was exhausted. At the same time, Wu Wenfeng had been distracted and paying attention to the movements of the masked man according to Xiao Leping's orders arranged in advance. probably felt that Xiang Nanxing had no time to take care of him, and this time, he didn't hide it anymore after often hiding behind the other two.
A sucker. Xiao Leping glared at him angrily, but the latter didn't know it. There was nothing unusual about the masked man, and Wu Wenfeng, who was nervous, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and all of this fell into Xiang Nanxing's eyes as Xiao Leping expected.
It's just that he didn't know that Xiang Nanxing hadn't thought of a critical place to go at this time.
"I've wanted to tell you since I was just now." He sighed, "If you want to find a breakthrough from me, I'm afraid you're looking in the wrong direction." I really don't know about that night. ”
"How do you know if you don't try." Xiao Leping said in a hoarse voice. After all, Xiang Nanxing still had a knife in his hand, even if he used it to cover his mouth, he couldn't cover it tightly, even if he couldn't shout, he could still whisper a few words vaguely.
"At first, I really thought you should know, so it was all spent on you, and then I realized that it was all in vain." "But even if you don't know anything, as you say, the man at the table must know." He wouldn't deliberately leave a living place in a hotel with zero reservations for no reason. ”
It must have been a mistake on the part of the person who started it - Xiang Nanxing wanted to say this, but he also knew that this kind of reason was really unspeakable. He did sleep under his bed that night, and may not have been easy to spot, but he clearly remembers hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door. What room with no one would have such a label? Those who have the ability to kill the entire hotel will certainly not miss such an obvious clue.
But compared to refutation, Xiao Leping's other things at this time interested him more. Tables? How many people can be booked? These words made him seem to grasp a little tail of the truth for a moment, but for a moment he couldn't really think about it.
Fortunately, at this time, he couldn't help but think about it. At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps approaching behind him, accompanied by the sound of a wooden cane tapping on the ground. Xiang Nanxing was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that Shen Junhao finally saw the clue and took the initiative to rush over to meet him. In this way, he can finally use Xiao Leping's body as a shield to protect the two of them before his physical strength is exhausted.
"Shen Junhao, be careful to hide behind me." He said without looking back. However, the footsteps continued to move forward, and the cadence was faster, and in the blink of an eye it was parallel to them. Shen Junhao was silent all the time, which was somewhat strange, and the speed shown in the last few steps was not at all like an injury, which directly made Xiang Nanxing's heart even more suspicious. Even Xiao Leping frowned.
"Hey, ...... you" Xiang Nanxing hesitated whether to let him back a little, but just halfway through his words, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of his eye!
Shen Junhao waved the long knife that came out of nowhere and slashed diagonally!
At a very close distance, this knife suddenly came out of the way, even if Xiang Nanxing reacted extremely quickly and dodged backwards, it was still unavoidable!
