Chapter 76: Clever at the Critical Moment
"Old dog, you're pretty smart." Ame's face instantly sank.
"Of course...... I'm smart at the critical moment. Lao Lu showed an ugly smile.
"I wish your teammates could see your face." Amu took out five "Dao" from his bosom and scattered them on the ground like a pigeon.
Lao Lu hurriedly lay on the ground and picked up the "Dao" one by one, and then put it in his pocket.
"Hey...... My teammates will understand me. Lao Lu patted the dust on his hands, "I have long reminded them that "I am very smart at a critical moment", they themselves did not expect that I would rebel, and I can't help it." β
Ah Mu showed a smiling expression, and handed the locked box to Lao Lu along with the golden key.
"Then I'll leave the rest to you."
β¦β¦
The "recipient" room on the other side.
Qi Xia was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed.
"Prisoner's Dilemma?" He muttered to himself, "No, it's supposed to be the Bucket Law......"
"The weakest member of the team will determine the overall strength of the team......" Qi Xia's fingers tapped the table slightly, and his heart was counting, "but which 'board' belongs to our bucket......"
"The "spies" on both sides should have met with the "sender." He still had his eyes closed, simulating as much as possible in his mind what it would be like when they met.
"About ten minutes have passed, and our "spies" have not yet delivered the letter, indicating that Ringo's lobbying has failed. After all, a woman in love has no reason to kill her lover with her own hands. β
"As for the other side......"
Qi Xia opened his eyes and reached out to play with the silver key on the table.
"There is a high probability that Lao Lu has defected."
His face gradually turned cold, and he spoke: "From now on, the other party will have the help of two 'spies' at the same time, and things are going in the worst direction. β
"The good news is that the 'Bucket Law' is officially invalid, and there are no more shortcomings in our team." Qi Xia slowly showed a sneer, "Next is the MiG-25 effect." β
At this moment, a sentence suddenly came from the door: "When the former Soviet Union was building the MiG-25 fighter, it was clear that all the accessories were inferior to the United States, but it could make it a world-class fighter by improving its comprehensive performance." This is the "MiG-25 effect", right? β
Qi Xia turned his head to look, and the "spy" Jiang Ruoxue was standing outside the door, looking at him expressionlessly.
She was holding a box in her hand, and the box was locked.
"Do you think the MiG-25 effect is correct?" Jiang Ruoxue asked.
"I'm not sure." Qi Xia also said expressionlessly, "I'm not sure if the 'parts' that belong to me now are easy to use, but as soon as you appeared, all my doubts disappeared. β
"I gave you an epiphany as soon as I appeared? Then you're a once-in-a-century genius. Jiang Ruoxue put the box on the table in front of Qi Xia with a slight mockery, "Now please use your MiG-25 effect to open this box." β
Qi Xia carefully examined the box, and the golden lock locked it firmly.
He tried it with the silver key he had hand, but he couldn't open it at all.
He picked up the box again, shook it gently, and sure enough, he heard a rustling sound.
There is a letter.
"What do you call it?" Qi Xia asked.
"Jiang Ruoxue."
"Jiang Ruoxue, did you smash the key just now?" Qi Xia asked.
"Do you think your teammates will give me the key?" Jiang Ruoxue clasped her hands around as if she was watching a good show, "A person like you who thinks he is smart can't open the box without a key?" β
"It's good that she didn't give you the key." The corners of Qi Xia's mouth raised, and he said to Jiang Ruoxue, "Did you hear it just now?" β
"Hear? What do you hear? β
"Footsteps." Qi Xia said, "The soundproofing of this old hotel is not good, you should have heard footsteps before you moved, right?" β
"So what?" Jiang Ruoxue pursed her lips, "The only people in the entire building who can move are me and the old man, and it's not surprising that there are footsteps." β
"But why did he leave earlier than you?" Qi Xia knocked on the table and looked at Jiang Ruoxue with a little meaning, "Why did our 'spy' set off in the first place?" β
"You ......" Jiang Ruoxue looked stunned, as if she had thought of something.
"What do you think are the chances of surviving this game?" Qi Xia kept knocking on the table, trying to break through the opponent's psychological defense with words, "If your team cooperates with our 'spies', do you still have a chance of winning?" β
"I see." Jiang Ruoxue's eyes gradually became cold, "You can't open the box, so you turned the target to me?" Wouldn't it be naΓ―ve to do that? β
Qi Xia nodded and said, "Have you seen through this?" β
"Don't try to fool me." Jiang Ruoxue took a step back, "It's absolutely impossible for me to believe you. β
Qi Xia stopped talking, but looked at his fingers that were tapping on the table.
"It's almost time......" he muttered to himself, his face turned cold, "let me verify that the parts work well......"
Before Jiang Ruoxue could understand the meaning of this sentence, a noisy shout suddenly came from another corridor.
Sounds like someone is fighting.
It's a pity that it's a little far away and I can't hear the specific content clearly.
"Very good, it's a 'good part.'" Qi Xia no longer tapped his fingers on the tabletop, but slowly stood up and said, "Miss Jiang, if you had agreed to cooperate with us just now, the outcome would have been completely different, but now there is no chance, you are just a "spare part". β
"Oh, that's interesting." Jiang Ruoxue shook her head helplessly, "Then I want to see how you can get the letter." β
Qi Xia didn't even think of a way to open the lock.
Instead, he picked up his silver lock and locked it on the box again.
At this time, the box has two locks at the same time.
"Are you insane?" Jiang Ruoxue asked, "If you put on another lock, do you want to "be positive from negative"?" β
"Am I insane? It's really possible. Qi Xia picked up the box and stuffed it to Jiang Ruoxue, "Excuse me, help me send back the 'sender'." β
"What?!" Jiang Ruoxue was stunned.
Send this two-lock box back to the sender?
"So that's ......" She was instantly shocked, and directly understood Qi Xia's plan, "You, you wait a minute......"
Qi Xia didn't wait for the other party to finish, directly pushed her out of the room, and then locked the door.
Jiang Ruoxue stepped into the corridor, and the countdown on the wall lit up for three minutes.
She was holding the box at the moment, and her face was complicated.
I knew that the other party was this kind of character, so I should have pretended to agree just now......
Coming to the hallway, the sound of another hallway became clear and audible.
Jiang Ruoxue came back to her senses and slowly leaned on the wall to listen.
After a while, her expression became solemn.
Ame sounded very angry, and he kept shouting, "You old dog actually ruined the key? β
