Time paused.
Air paused.
Heartbeats paused.
Their gazes met in the air, and an invisible electric current surged.
‘After searching for it everywhere, I finally found it without any effort.’
In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flew through Bai Qiuye’s mind.
‘This hooded man is obviously the blue team’s jungler, the same role as Hei Chunhua.’
‘So he definitely won’t bring the K card that he already has.’
‘The K card on him must have been found in Golden Eagle Bay Hospital.’
‘He looks very panicked. He came up from the first floor… Could he have met Gua gua? ‘
The current K card score is 1:2.
If the K card in her hand was snatched, the score would instantly become 0:3.
If the hooded man brought the K card back and Hei Chunhua didn’t stop the blue team before they found the card on Shangnan Street, the score of the two teams would also become 1: 3.
So, the best solution was for her to take the hooded man’s K card on the spot.
Otherwise, the red team would be at an extreme disadvantage.
But, how could she take it by herself?
All of their levels were hidden, so she didn’t know the hooded man’s strength.
But she had a guess in her heart.
The goal was clear from the beginning of the game. Those who were sent to the red team’s area were likely to be on par with Hei Chunhua and Li Gushu.
If this guess was right, she could only be beaten up.
But there was another possibility. The hooded man was a scout sent by the blue team.
He was a chess piece whose main purpose was to test them and could be abandoned at any time.
Then, the hooded man finding the K card was completely due to luck, and had nothing to do with strength.
In the best case scenario, the hooded man’s level was the same as the one she had disguised.
This way, she still had a chance of winning.
No matter what, she had to delay until Situ Liao and Liu He returned. That was the safest way.
But Situ Liao and Liu He had been sent somewhere by the elevator, and the possibility of them returning immediately was not high.
But simply delaying couldn’t solve the underlying problem. The hooded man would discover her goal at any time.
At that time, he would be even more unscrupulous when he made a move.
Bai Qiuye suddenly had an idea.
She didn’t know the hooded man’s level, and the hooded man didn’t know her level.
Could she make use of this unknown to create more than just a simple delay?
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuye immediately turned around and walked a few steps toward the waiting hall.
The hooded man still had not figured out why Bai Qiuye was running, but his body was one step ahead of him.
Subconsciously, he thought that Bai Qiuye must have run away because she felt guilty.
With the support of this awareness, he inadvertently overlooked the possibility of danger and began to lower his guard around Bai Qiuye.
In fact, as soon as the elevator doors opened, when he first saw Bai Qiuye, he thought that he had met a super boss
However, Bai Qiuye’s current actions made this thought disappear from his mind.
The hooded man remembered that before they left, A had analyzed the distribution of the red team.
A said that the red team’s K card would only appear on three types of people.
First, the strongest of them all.
Second, the weakest of them all.
Third, the average of them all.
Among them, the second was the least likely, but not impossible.
Before choosing a captain, no one’s level is hidden.
Therefore, the other party might use the opportunistic method of “the most dangerous place is the safest place” to create a mental trap for them.
However, now that everyone’s level was hidden, if the second type was chosen as the captain, it would be the red team’s biggest mistake.
‘This woman must be the second type. Only low-level people would choose to run away at the first moment.’
The hooded man looked at Bai Qiuye’s back and quickened his steps.
He wasn’t worried that Bai Qiuye would run away because the elevator had returned to the first floo, and if she tried to go down the stairs, she would have to pass through the crowded waiting hall. Even if Bai Qiuye ran, he could easily intercept her.
?
He followed behind Bai Qiuye and came to a corridor with fewer patients next to the elevator.
The sun was shining outside the window, and the sound of traffic was noisy and lively.
No one noticed that a battle was about to break out in this corner of the hospital.
At this moment, Bai Qiuye suddenly stopped and casually admired the scenery outside the window.
The light from outside shone in and illuminated half of Bai Qiuye’s face, while the other half was completely hidden in the darkness.
The hooded man was stunned by her sudden calmness and subconsciously stopped.
The distance between the two of them was maintained at twenty metres, neither far nor close, as if they were close.
The atmosphere was not tense, as the sword clearly didn’t even have a blade.
However, the more blunt and dull the sword seemed, the more the invisible pressure suppressed his impulse like a mountain collapsing..
Bai Qiuye stood with her back facing him. “You’re here.”
The hooded man was stunned and subconsciously replied, “I’m here.”
Bai Qiuye continued to stand with her hands behind her back and said indifferently, “You shouldn’t have come.”
The hooded man already felt that something was wrong.
Her words were too sudden, and her tone was too calm. It sounded like advice, but also like an ultimatum.
‘Why is she so calm?’
‘Even without turning around, I can sense her disdain for me.’
‘Is her level very high?’
He began to guess that Bai Qiuye was actually pretending to be weak just now, deliberately luring him here to a place with fewer people.
The hooded man felt as if a sharp knife was hanging in the air above his head.
He had to give the right answer.
The hooded man’s heart was beating wildly. He braced himself and said, “But I’m already here.”
After he finished speaking, the air fell into a dead silence.
Bai Qiuye, who was leaning against the window, didn’t continue to speak. She continued to admire the scenery outside.
The hooded man’s forehead was covered in sweat.
Right now, he hoped that Bai Qiuye would directly make a move instead of standing here and keeping him on edge with silence.
He tentatively took a step towards Bai Qiuye. She didn’t say anything to stop him.
A thought flashed through the hooded man’s mind.
Bai Qiuye didn’t move. Was it because she didn’t dare to move?
The reason why she said such unclear words was because she wanted to bluff.
With that thought, the hooded man took another step towards her.
At that moment, Bai Qiuye tilted her head slightly and looked at him. “I said you shouldn’t have, but only to you.”
The hooded man immediately stopped in his tracks.
What was she talking about?
Bai Qiuye’s face was still calm. “Actually, I want to tell you that you’re finally here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Although the hooded man was confused, it didn’t stop a chill from rising from his feet. “You, what are you talking about?”
Bai Qiuye asked, “Have you ever wondered why the red team let you move an hour early?”
The hooded man said nervously, “Isn’t it because you gathered too late?”
The left side of Bai Qiuye’s mouth suddenly curled up and an airy sound escaped from her nostrils.
When the hooded man heard it, he felt that this sound held a hint of disdain.
It was as if a goddess was looking down on mortals.
The hooded man suddenly realized something. “Could it be, could it be… this was your plan?”
Bai Qiuye’s lips curled up. “After all, we only have so many people. If we want to quickly find the K card, how can we not use your strength?”
The hooded man trembled slightly, realizing he had been manipulated and lured into their trap.
When he had proudly shown off to his teammates that he had found the K card, he had already been targeted by this group of people.
‘Li Gushu didn’t kill me the moment she saw me. Did she do it on purpose?’
‘She deliberately chased me to the sixth floor so that I would meet this woman?’
‘You can only know whether the other person has a K card when two K card holders meet. This woman is checking whether I have the K card or not. If I don’t have the K card, they’ll probably continue with this plan. When I find the K card, they’ll make a move. It’s like slaughtering a duck when it’s fat.’
At this moment, the cause and effect of this matter were logical in his mind.
“Since she dares to intercept me, it means that her strength is definitely not something I can match.
“Even Li Gushu can only be a support…”
The hooded man sized up the distance between here and the stairs from the corner of his eye, thinking about how to leave this floor in the shortest time possible.
Suddenly, he noticed that Bai Qiuye’s gaze was looking in the direction of the elevator.
This was already the second time he had seen Bai Qiuye look in that direction.
The hooded man immediately realized that Bai Qiuye might be waiting for something.
‘Wait a minute.’
‘Why did she reveal so much information to me? Could it be that she has other motives?’
‘That’s right. If she’s stronger than Li Gushu, why didn’t she kill me the moment the system confirmed?’
‘Could it be that she’s stalling for time?’
‘
The hooded man’s expression suddenly became serious. “Since you want it, come and get it yourself.”
His words put Bai Qiuye in a difficult position.
Bai Qiuye’s mind worked quickly. She guessed that her eyes might have exposed her thoughts, which made the hooded man suspicious.
How should she explain herself?
Bai Qiuye panicked, but her aura was as steady as a mountain.
She raised her chin slightly, lowered her eyelids, and said calmly, “Killing you will dirty my hands.”
She made sure to show her arrogance with this sentence.
After Bai Qiuye finished speaking, she saw the hooded man’s expression change. She took advantage of the situation and added, “But if I leave you to Situ Liao, he should be very happy.”
The hooded man’s heart trembled like an earthquake.
What made his mood change wasn’t Bai Qiuye’s first sentence, but her second sentence.
‘She sounds like she’s giving a bone to a pet.’
‘In her eyes, Situ Liao is no different from a pet!’
‘And I am that bone.’
‘Who exactly is she? Could she be one of the people at the top of the pyramid?’
If she was one of the top few people on the professional rankings, he wouldn’t have a chance even if he ran.
The hooded man took a deep breath and asked, “How do you want to solve this?”
Bai Qiuye thought that Situ Liao was really famous. She had just made up a random sentence, but the hooded man was so scared that he actually compromised.
She had only been acting here to stall for time.
But it was naturally better to get the K card without fighting.
Bai Qiuye recalled in her mind, sifting through the lines of the vicious villains in the TV series she had watched before.
She sneered. “If you obediently hand over the K card, I might let you live.”
Noticing the change in the hooded man’s expression, she added, “After all, I’m not a demon.”
The hooded man hesitated. He reached into his jacket pocket. Bai Qiuye had already seen the gold edges of the K card.
Just then, a loud ringtone interrupted the hooded man’s actions.
