Lawyer Zhang's Choice

"Demon Dog, what are the rest of the rules?" Qi Xia asked, "What is this game about?"

"Please follow me, and I will explain as we walk."

The Demon Dog led everyone to a corridor in the hotel and said, "This hotel has two parallel corridors, and the layout of both is identical. Each team will occupy a corridor to start the game, and whoever completes the task first will declare victory."

Then he opened the first door on the corridor, which read 'Sender.'

"This is the Sender's room," said the Demon Dog. "After the game starts, both 'Senders' can only be in their respective rooms and cannot go out. Your task is to deliver an envelope containing a coded letter."

The empty room only had a table, and the items on the table were clear at a glance: a letter, an iron box, a golden key, and a golden lock.

Lin pondered for a moment and asked, "Since we can't leave this room, how do we deliver the 'letter'?"

"It's simple, give the letter to the 'Spy'," said the Demon Dog. "Please follow me."

He led them from the 'Sender' room to the corridor.

"The corridor is the activity area for all 'Spies'. You will move through your respective corridors, responsible for delivering the message."

"Let the 'Spy' help deliver the message?!" Everyone was taken aback.

"Have you all seen spy dramas?" The Demon Dog laughed and continued, "Sometimes, even when you know the messenger is a spy, you have to send the message."

Everyone was at a loss for words. Most of them were young people, and how many had studied spy dramas?

"What is this?" Lin saw a small machine in the corridor.

The machine looked like a space heater with a small hole the size of a palm above.

"This is a shredder," said the Demon Dog. "The 'Spy' can, according to their preference, throw anything into the shredder, including letters, keys, locks. But it's worth mentioning that due to size limitations, the 'iron box' cannot be thrown in."

"So we can let the 'Spy' deliver anything?!" Lin Qin asked, "Can they deliver a key alone?"

"That's right, as long as you are willing, you can let the spy go back and forth in the corridor multiple times."

Everyone felt that this game was not simple, and the situation that was about to happen was completely unpredictable.

"I'll tell you the first half of the rules for now," said the Demon Dog with a smile, "Please 'Sender' return to your room, you don't need to be involved in the next rules."

Lin looked at Qi Xia and slowly walked towards the room.

The blonde from the other team also went to the other corridor and entered the room.

Qi Xia looked at the shredder in the corridor and suddenly regretted it.

It seems that the 'Spy' is the most variable role in this game.

"Two 'Spies', no matter what you receive, you must deliver it within three minutes, unless you have already destroyed it," said the Demon Dog, pointing to the electronic watch on the corridor, which had a three-minute countdown, "If the time runs out and the goods have not been processed, they will be punished."

Lao Lu and the girl were shocked: "Didn't you say our identity is the safest?"

"Of course, as long as you deliver or destroy it, you will be safe," said the Demon Dog with a smile, "This is a rule to prevent someone from delaying time."

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Demon Dog continued: "Please let the 'Spy' stay, and the rest follow me."

Lao Lu and the girl stayed.

The Demon Dog led the rest forward.

Currently, both sides only have the 'Receiver' and 'Hostage' left.

At the end of the corridor, there is another room with 'Receiver' written on the door.

The Demon Dog opened the door, and inside there was still a table with only a silver key and a silver lock.

In the corner of the room, there was a large device like a refrigerator.

"This is the 'Receiver's' activity space," said the Demon Dog, "Except for the 'Spy', you cannot communicate with anyone."

Then he walked to the large device and said: "This cabinet is where the 'Hostage' needs to stay. After the game starts, you will be trapped in the cabinet."

Qi Xia went up to take a look at the cabinet first, and there was an electronic display on the cabinet door, which showed 'Not Locked' at the moment.

The structure inside the cabinet was also quite strange, with the cabinet walls made of metal and many holes, which looked like...

"This is the large microwave oven I customized," said the Demon Dog, "Half an hour later, if no one opens the cabinet door, the person inside will become meat."

The bald man next to him gasped, he was the 'Hostage' of the other team.

"Microwave oven?! Damn it, what the hell?!" He shouted and stepped back, "I don't want to go in!

"Hey!" The blonde man grabbed him, "Don't make a fuss, if you back down here, Ah Mu will kill you after he goes out.

This statement obviously scared the bald man.

"Well, I can't get into the microwave either..."

"Don't worry, how could these people be Ah Mu's opponents?" The blonde man grabbed the bald man's shoulder, "Trust his methods.

The bald man thought for a while, hesitated, and nodded.

"As for the 'Receiver', your rules are no different from the 'Sender'. After receiving the letter, please open the envelope immediately, crack the door-opening password, and rescue your teammates. The team that rescues their teammates first is considered the winner."

Qi Xia saw that Zhang Chenze was always silent, so he asked lightly, "Do you trust me?"

Zhang Chenze pondered for a moment and said, "Qi Xia, I trust you, but there are too many variables in this game. In this room, you cannot communicate with others, let alone discuss tactics. Even if I trust you, it doesn't mean you can definitely save me."

"This..." Qi Xia was speechless for a moment.

The Demon Dog saw the two people talking and came forward very inopportunely, smiling and saying, "Even now, if you want to exchange identities, I won't object."

Zhang Chenze just experienced escaping from the fish tank, and then entered the microwave oven. Is this too cruel for her?

"Lawyer Zhang, in principle, I should exchange with you..." Qi Xia said with some difficulty, "Let you become a hostage twice in a row, it's too..."

"It's okay," Zhang Chenze said, "Qi Xia, from the perspective of maximizing benefits, you should get this 'Receiver'. Standing in the middle of the whole game, you will be more likely to control the overall situation. Compared with others, I am also more at ease letting you open the door lock.

"Aren't you feeling cruel to you?" Qi Xia asked.

"Cruel?" Zhang Chenze squeezed a smile, "As long as it is the right thing, it should be executed without hesitation. It just so happens that my clothes are still wet, just consider it as drying."
