"What the hell is going on at headquarters?"

"How did the orderly who possessed the power of contract die?"

Chen Qi, who sensed that something was wrong, contacted his good ally Lin Biyun as soon as possible.

However, it took half an hour before Lin Biyun replied.

If she doesn't show up again, Chen Qi still thinks that Lin Biyun will hang up!

······

"Hey, I didn't expect even you to be alarmed."

"It seems that everyone is aware that the contract is gone."

"That's right, the guy who mastered the ability to contract is dead!"

"And the person who killed him is the member of the Demon Punishment Society who disappeared before!"

Lin Biyun's tone was full of exhaustion, and it seemed that she had been under a lot of pressure recently.

However, Chen Qi was not satisfied with her answer, the death of that player was definitely not that simple.

"I recently made a deal with Milton!"

"He really deserves to be the vice president of a middle power, and he is generous!"

Chen Qi said to himself, and the sudden change of topic seemed to make people scratch their heads.

But Lin Biyun on the other end of the communicator was instantly energetic.

She understood the meaning of Chen Qi's words, this guy was showing his strength!

Milton's attraction and investment in players is no secret, and the fact that the 7 of hearts guy was selected only shows that his strength has been recognized by the Nuris Federation.

At this critical moment, Lin Biyun is in need of a "strong ally".

It seems that she also needs to invest a little more in the seven of hearts.

······

"Well, we are the closest allies, and I won't hide some things from you."

"Although I have no evidence, the disappearance of the contract must be related to several veteran players among the Orderly."

"They should want to make one last effort, and if they don't break their oath, they don't have a lot of things to do."

"As soon as the contract disappears, the Orderkeeper basically ceases to exist."

"After all, the current game of kings is not what it used to be!"

Although Lin Biyun said that she was just guessing, and what she said was very vague, Chen Qi still understood the meaning of her words in an instant.

As soon as the Imperial Bounty appeared, it basically pushed all players against the King.

Among them, the most affected were naturally the lackeys cultivated by the king himself, the order-keepers.

There may still be those who naively think that "they are still trusted by His Majesty the King", but these people definitely do not include those old players.

They know very well that they will inevitably lose the trust of His Majesty, who made them strong!

But if they were to rebel against His Majesty, these tamed fellows would not dare.

This is also the reason why the undercurrent of the headquarters was surging before, but it still remained calm on the surface.

But among the veteran players, there is a special category of people.

For example, Zhong Xingchen.

They had already gone through three or four rounds of the game, and they had no hope of fulfilling the apostles.

They are already doomed to death.

But the Empire's bounty and the change in the situation in the game have made this kind of person see a chance to fight again.

Anyway, it's the same death, it's better to become a betrayer and fight again!

If you fail, it's a big deal to die early, if you succeed by luck, it's a great wealth.

There must also be the instigation of external forces, and even some guys themselves are pawns of external forces.

If these veteran order-keepers jump back, of course, they must first completely dismantle the order-keepers.

······

"Where is Zhong Xingchen now?"

"The old players you mentioned should also have this one."

Out of curiosity, by the way to verify whether his guess was correct, Chen Qi asked this question bluntly.

He suspected that the reason why Lin Biyun had concealed it at first was because it involved Zhong Xingchen, the captain.

After all, the relationship between the two is still very good, at least much closer than his ally.

"He's gone!"

"If you meet him again, you must be more careful."

"It's a bit chilling, but the 3 cards he needs to collect are most likely my core cards."

"I just wanted to confirm some things, so I didn't contact you for a long time!"

Lin Biyun's expression was very sad, if it weren't for the 7 of hearts that this guy guessed, she really didn't want to mention Zhong Xingchen at all.

The care she had received before was that of a hunter looking after her prey.

Maybe this was just Zhong Xingchen's backup plan at first, and he might not really act.

But now, there is no turning back from the bow.

······

"Tsk, this guy Zhong Xingchen looks upright, but I didn't expect him to be cunning."

"As an ally, if you can't bear it, you can hide from me."

"I can probably still protect you!"

Chen Qi is deeply sympathetic to the plight of his good allies, and the relationship between players is indeed full of deceit.

Especially those veteran players who have gone through several rounds of the game, they can't believe any of them.

For the sake of Lin Biyun providing so much information for herself, out of kindness, Chen Qi still planned to pull her.

However, I never expected that Lin Biyun would unceremoniously refuse!

"7 of hearts, don't you want to pull me into the fire pit."

"You still have several calamities now, and that Yin Erosion Scattered Man alone is the threshold you can't cross."

"I'm quite safe to stay in the royal capital now."

"It's a cage for careerists, a forbidden place for traitors, but for me, it's the best habitat."

Out of the importance of allies, Lin Biyun now knows a lot about the situation of the 7 of hearts.

It's no wonder that this guy asked about his mortal card, but he didn't expect him to be targeted by the Yin Erosion Sanren.

Although the strength of the 7 of hearts is now recognized by Milton, Lin Biyun still believes that his chances of survival are not great.

It's really because the Yin Eclipse Scattered people are famous among veteran players, and they can be called the top ones.

The difference in strength is not something that 7 hearts can catch up with one round of games, not to mention that this guy has been a player for less than a year.

As for her own safety, as long as she doesn't leave the royal capital, it's not a big problem.

The most dangerous place is precisely the safest.

······

"Lin Biyun, it seems that you know everything about me, as an ally, you should have a little more confidence in me."

"I think I'll make it to the end!"

"Wang Du is indeed quite suitable for you, and you have no ambitions anyway."

Since Lin Biyun has his own plan, Chen Qi is also happy.

Hey, it's really hard to be a good person, the conscience of heaven and earth, he really didn't plan to let Lin Biyun be his substitute ghost.

It's really because she doesn't have enough strength!

As for the threshold of Yin Eclipse Sanren, Chen Qi felt that he could still cross it.

Chen Qi had put a lot of effort into the information about this old thing, but he still hadn't collected much.

This is not only because he is very low-key and mysterious, but also because he is ruthless, and few players who encounter him survive.

It's strange that this guy, as a traitor, can survive three rounds of Judgment Day!

This old thing won't have any PY deal with His Majesty, right?

After exchanging some more in-game information with Lin Biyun, Chen Qi ended the call.

For some reason, Chen Qi always had a feeling that the situation was becoming more and more tense.

According to Chen Qi's analysis, after the contract was terminated, the order-keepers basically existed in name only.

Once those veteran players switch to the betrayer, that's the beginning of the reshuffle.

It's a pity to imagine that this round of game reshuffle will be extremely tragic.

Because all the old players know very well that they have no chance of the next round.

They will do everything they can to make themselves strong as soon as possible.

Everyone will start the road of card fusion, and it will be a chaotic battle like never before.

As for Chen Qi, of course, he will also participate in it unceremoniously.

At the moment when the contract disappeared, Chen Qi had already made a decision, he should not be an orderly!

Those who know the times are heroes, and of course they must adapt to the changes in current affairs.

Now that the betrayer is bullish, Chen Qi must of course take advantage of the situation to join.

And his path as a traitor has long been prepared by others.

Fusion of four cards with the number 7, Yin Eclipse Sanren does, Chen Qi can naturally do it.

However, what Chen Qi didn't know was that there was another player with the number 7 who also chose this traitor's path.

Just when he was on the phone with Lin Biyun, there were already two cards with the number 7 fused together.

······

Muller City, a small city with a population of only four or five hundred thousand in the country of Blue Taro.

In a luxurious villa, a murder is being staged.

"Why?"

"Why did you kill me?"

"I got it all with great difficulty, I haven't enjoyed it yet, I'm not reconciled."

Lu Xiaolin collapsed on the floor, a large hole had been broken in his chest, and his heart was gone.

If it weren't for the fact that his vitality became stronger after becoming a player, he would have died a long time ago.

Just over two months ago, Lu Xiaolin was just an ordinary cleaner.

But a poker card that suddenly fell from the sky completely changed his fate.

Superpowers, he actually gained superpowers.

What happened after that, though old-fashioned, is the truest manifestation of human nature.

Lu Xiaolin quickly gained wealth through superpowers and became the rich man he imagined.

Then he began to spend all his time drinking, drunk and obsessed, and the whole person was completely lost in the good life.

He thought that such a wonderful life would continue until the appearance of the man in front of him.

The other party easily took his heart, and Lu Xiaolin's superpowers did not work from beginning to end.

"What a disgusting reptile, killing you will make my hands dirty."

"Compared to the successor to the 7 of hearts, you're simply unsightly."

"As for why I killed you, of course it's because you don't deserve the card of Club 7."

"I didn't plan to do it in advance, but who made time short!"

"Hurry up and die, don't waste my time!"

Qi Tianming's face was full of disdain and impatience, and under his urging, Lu Xiaolin finally kicked his legs and whimpered.

At the moment of Lu Xiaolin's death, a card emerged from his corpse.

Qi Tianming unceremoniously grabbed it in his hand and fused it with his own cards.

In the next moment, he disappeared into the villa.

Half an hour later, the death of Lu Xiaolin, a newly rich man, caused a sensation in the small city of Mueller.

Three hours later, a mysterious man shrouded in black robes appeared at the scene of the crime.

······

"Damn, we're too late again!"

"How did that Qi Tianming avoid our tracking?"

"This guy dares to perform card fusion, it's really bold, and the sin is unforgivable."

On the shoulders of the mysterious man, a paper man was so angry that he was swaying.

They had tracked Qi Tianming more than a dozen times, but each time they had just discovered the trace, and the person disappeared.

This bastard doesn't have a touch of them at all.

"Why?"

"Why is he turning on Card Fusion now?"

"It always feels like he's starting to act a little hastily."

The mysterious man muttered to himself, but he was actually speaking to the paper man on his shoulder.

"Acting in a hurry?"

"What's strange about this, now the pattern in the game has changed drastically, and it's about to enter a complete mess."

"Qi Tianming, this guy also wants to go further!"

The paper man didn't think it was strange for Qi Tianming to fuse cards, and the mysterious man sighed secretly when he saw this, this thing's brain was really not enough.

"I mean, is there a possibility, Qi Tianming, this guy knows the master's plan."

"He knew that if the master's plan succeeded, he would definitely die, so he decided to take a gamble."

"He has changed his style from the past, and he has appeared frequently recently, he should be deliberately testing us and testing the master!"

"And he's turning on Card Fusion now because he's got what he wants to know."

The mysterious man explained his guess in detail, and the paper man who finally understood it was not calm in an instant.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Only we know what the master is about to succeed, and Qi Tianming will never know."

Although the mysterious man said that the head is the Tao, he also pointed out a lot of clues.

But the paper man still can't believe that the master's plan has been leaked!

Unless it's the guy in front of him who betrays the master!

Thinking of this, the paper man's gaze at the mysterious man instantly became cold.

In the latter is still extremely calm.

······

"It's not me, I'm not that stupid."

"As long as the master takes that step, he is destined to become an apostle, and then he only needs to complete the card collection to completely promote to LV6."

"As you said, the game landscape has changed dramatically, and it's different from the past."

"And will that Your Majesty allow a new apostle to be born?"

"The master should have been targeted by him a long time ago, with that person's demagogic ability, I am not surprised that Qi Tianming can get the news."

The mysterious man gave the final answer, and the paper man's face changed instantly after hearing this.

Because this inference is reasonable, and it may even be the truth.

"I can't measure myself, and the mantis arm is a car!"

"Qi Tianming, this bastard must die."

"We can't let him ruin the master's plan, we must kill him as soon as possible!"

"Yu Hongwu, you have a smart brain, there must be a way."

In a hurry, the paper man directly revealed the name of the mysterious person.

And the mysterious person shrouded in the black robe is none other than Yu Hongwu, who has been missing for a long time.

"Actually, it's very simple to find Qi Tianming, since he has begun to fuse cards, then let's wait for the rabbit."

"His next target could only be the seven of hearts."

Yu Hongwu gave his own solution in a flat tone.

However, after hearing this, the paper figure was thoughtful, and it had other ideas.

That 7 of hearts also has to be killed, and the latest intelligence shows that that guy already has the strength of LV4, which is really terrifying.

If Qi Tianming said that guy and the two sides joined forces, things would be even worse.

It is necessary to start first and clear the hidden dangers in advance.
