Chapter 452: "Big Gamble" A Game That Can't Be Perfectly Won

Ye Xiaojing's figure disappeared from Jiang Qian's sight.

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds...

Jiang Qian placed his hands on the table, his eyes fixed on the staircase leading from the 7th floor to the 8th floor.

The call was still open, and there was a faint sound of light and even footsteps, from Ye Xiaojing's steps on the stairs.

At this moment, he remained completely quiet and trusted the other party completely.

There was nothing special about the stairs to the 8th floor, but Ye Xiaojing walked very slowly and cautiously.

Until reaching the end of the stairs, Ye Xiaojing slowly opened the half-closed fire door, accompanied by a slight "creaking" sound, a beam of blue light passed through the dim room and projected on her slightly surprised cheek, freezing her expression at this moment.

This is a monitoring room.

The room was large, but the furnishings were very simple. There were only two screens on the left wall, and a control table with knobs and switches below the screen; and another elevator facing the staircase door where Ye Xiaojing was, which showed that it was parked on the 10th floor.

Ye Xiaojing looked around the room, her sharp eyes swept across the various lines and pipes on the four walls until she refocused on the monitoring screen.

Then, she took a step and walked towards the control table below the screen.

"How is it?"

Jiang Qian asked.

...

"I'm here." Ye Xiaojing replied after a moment.

Then there was no more.

Vaguely aware that something was wrong, Jiang Qian pondered for a moment and reminded: "Teacher Bai is approaching the stairs on the 7th floor. It won't be long before she catches up."

After a while.

Ye Xiaojing slowly said the answer that Jiang Qian expected: "The 8th floor is the monitoring room."

"Monitoring room?" This answer surprised Jiang Qian a little.

If the function of the 8th floor is synchronized with the safe house, then what is the purpose of setting up the copy like this?

"Well," Ye Xiaojing continued, "the monitoring is on the 9th and 10th floors, the safe house."

Jiang Qian was stunned, then sighed, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

I see...

"So you can see the situation in my and Di Ting Wanjie's room now?"

"More than that."

Ye Xiaojing's eyes moved, and his sight fell on the control panel, saying: "In addition to being able to see your situation, it can also determine your life and death."

Jiang Qian listened attentively.

"On the control panel here, there are activation buttons for controlling the mechanisms of each room in the safe house, the living room, the living room, the bedroom, the bathroom... Countless mechanisms, clearly marked with prices! I roughly calculated that it would cost about 200 million to use all the mechanisms."

"And if you want to get out of it unscathed, the people in the safe house must at least have the level of five states or above... In addition, if the people in the safe house are not on guard, and the people outside are clever enough to operate, it is not impossible to kill them with one sword."

When Ye Xiaojing said these words, Jiang Qian had already come to the entrance and tried to open the door of the safe house-the digital door lock immediately sent a "beep" alarm!

Then came a series of voice prompts: The access control will be automatically unlocked after the room is invalid!

The room is invalid?

Doesn't that mean that until the last gambling game begins, I can't leave the room?

"It's useless. This door is locked and cannot be opened from the inside." Ye Xiaojing's voice came. At this moment, she could clearly see Jiang Qian's actions in the safe house.

Jiang Qian stopped and took two steps back: "Is the door also within your control range?"

"Yes."

Ye Xiaojing nodded and continued: "There are some text instructions here."

"What does it say?"

"It says: You can choose to release the beast, or take their chips for yourself..."

"Is that so... Haha, no wonder."

Jiang Qian's thoughts flew, and he finally sorted out the rules of the game from the hotel room to the safe house: two-way checks and balances, zero-sum game!

Generally, those who can get the right to use the safe house either rely on their strength or have made key contributions to the camp. No matter which one, they are all strong people in the camps.

The high floor where the safe house is located is a symbol of putting the strong in the high place.

But it's cold at the top.

Those who get ordinary room cards must go through twists and turns to search and climb up to reach the "hub" where they can choose their fate.

From top to bottom: The safe house can monitor and intervene in the dynamics of the bottom players, but it cannot control its own freedom.

From bottom to top: The bottom players can avoid the monitoring of the safe house by overcoming all difficulties and climbing to the hub level, and counter the safe house players! But the premise is that he must have the opportunity to climb to the 8th floor hub!

Interestingly, if the safe house players assist the allies from the bottom through indoor monitoring, they will inevitably speed up their arrival at the hub, and once the other party reaches the 8th floor hub, their own safety will be handed over to the other party.

On the other hand, if the bottom players easily believe the safe house players and follow the guidance of the other party, they may also be calculated and self-destructed...

What's more interesting is: once the cooperation begins, either party can only see the other party's trump card when they are betrayed! Often at this time, he has lost any chance to counterattack.

So what about another form of cooperation?

Jiang Qian has not yet discovered the means of communication between safe house players.

However, even if he can communicate with Di Ting Wanjie, at least one low-level player needs to reach the 8th floor first to see the full picture of the situation; thus returning to the unsolvable dead loop mentioned above.

But the players at the bottom have the opportunity to unite as one, put aside their camp ideas, completely ignore the intervention of the safe house players, and go all the way to the 8th floor!

Although this possibility is slim, it is by no means impossible.

But what then?

Do you want to take turns "killing monsters" happily around the console together? Only a ghost would believe his joy!

The numerous murders that occurred while snatching the slot machines on the first night were not accidental...

Is there no winning strategy at all?

Jiang Qian regretfully concluded: No.

If the so-called "must-win strategy" is a perfect victory that eliminates all risk factors, then the answer must be no.

Undoubtedly, this is a huge gamble on "trust"!

Since it is "gamble", there is no such thing as a guaranteed win.

"How ironic..."

Jiang Qian raised his hand and touched the fine sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Everyone who chooses to believe may be betrayed in the most ruthless way; but which person in a high position does not rely on the blessing of others' trust?"

Ye Xiaojing listened expressionlessly and pressed the button without hesitation.

…

Bai Xiaoxi lingering on the 7th floor is looking for the staircase leading to the 8th floor.

She climbed from the 3rd floor to the 7th floor and had already experienced four guest room "mazes". Although her mind and ability helped her solve most of the problems - including those two large gains in chips, the long-term energy output was still It made her feel tired.

As a result, her exploration speed slowed down from the moment she climbed to the 7th floor. In order to build up strength for the last critical moment.

She understands: the closer you get to your goal, the more cautious you must be.

She wants to be foolproof.

Therefore, when Bai Xiaoxi appeared in front of the stairs leading to the 8th floor, she was ready to face any changes.

"What's going to happen on the mysterious 8th floor?"

An imperceptible smile burst out from the corner of Bai Xiaoxi's mouth. She grabbed her cool short hair and stepped up the stairs with light steps.

As she approached, two mice with rabbit heads and elk bodies and tails as long as wings had slipped into the bay through the cracks in the fire door. They took the lead in exploring the bay along the complicated lines on the corners and walls. …

A few minutes passed.

The fire door made a soft "squeak" sound, and Bai Xiaoxi stepped into the room facing the blue light scattered by the monitoring screen.

The elevator door directly opposite her was closed, and the parking floor was displayed as 10.

The two mice returned to her feet before she continued walking, climbed in along her trouser legs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Bai Xiaoxi walked towards the two monitoring screens and stopped in front of the console.

Her keen eyes swept over the surveillance images, the knobs and buttons with clearly marked prices on the operating table, and the text prompts, all of which were visible.

The situation is not difficult to understand.

Bai Xiaoxi smiled slightly, faced the monitoring screen, stretched out his hand, and touched the console...

At this time, Diting Wanjie in the safe house on the 9th floor was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, with his pillows falling to the ground; while in the safe house on the 10th floor shown on another screen, Jiang Qian was lying in the bathtub. Take a bath with music.

Dense water vapor filled the entire bathroom, and the back of the young man was looming under the soft light.

"Haha, I see, making the prison look like a safe house, restricting the performance of experts, in order to adjust the balance of the gambling game? I knew it would be like this..."

As she spoke, she adjusted the angle of the indoor mechanisms until the mechanisms in the two safe houses were completely aimed at the target:

"With such a cunning copy, no wonder no one has cleared it yet."

Then, Bai Xiaoxi seemed to hesitate.

Her hands hung in the air, wandering left and right for a moment, and finally decided to start with the Listening World on the ninth floor.

As the mechanism was triggered, the artistic lampshade located on the ceiling of the bedroom suddenly cracked a gap, and several hidden weapons were aimed at the sleeping person on the bed.

At the moment of life and death, Ting Ting Wan Jie suddenly opened his eyes!

However, he was unable to dodge, and the hidden weapon hit him in the chest, and the screams echoed through the 9th floor safe house...

Bai Xiaoxi watched the tragedy he created with cold eyes across the screen.

She didn't even wait for the chips to come in before pressing the button to kill Jiang Qian on the 10th floor!

Blood immediately splattered in the dense bathroom - seeing a figure staggering out of the bathroom and appearing in the living room dripping with blood, Bai Xiaoxi touched the button of the living room mechanism with a smile...

However, her hand retreated in mid-air.

As she jumped up in time, she barely escaped the "gnawing" of the mantis-armed sickle...

Bai Xiaoxi turned around nimbly in the air, stepped on the edge of the console, turned over and landed easily a few meters away.

She had guessed the identity of the attacker and raised her head calmly...

But when he saw the other two figures walking out from behind Ye Xiaojing, Bai Xiaoxi's expression finally changed.

That's right, the two people who appeared at the same time as Ye Xiaojing were the "already killed" and "being killed" people in the safe house - Qianlong Wuyong and Di Ting Wanjie.

The screams on the surveillance screen stopped abruptly, and the two bloody figures in the screen gradually turned into clay warriors. Both are stand-in props provided by Listening to All Worlds as a thank-you gift for being released from the cage.

"I was almost tricked to death by you again! Senior Xiaoxi..."

Listening to all the worlds, they expressed their dissatisfaction bitterly:

"I heard that the Eternal Windsor gang has been eliminated? Since the other team has been wiped out and the remaining ones are our own, why do you need to do this?"

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxi's eyes were filled with cold rationality: "Our special operations department also has to be ranked according to seniority."

Ranked according to seniority...

Di Ting Wanjie was stunned, and hesitated to speak.

"Why, don't you want to earn more chips for yourself?" Bai Xiaoxi smiled.

Since it is based on seniority, then whether it is a practical assessment or fighting against foreign enemies together, it is natural to win more points.

If she can get the first kill of "Big Gamble" by herself, she will never give it to others.
