Prison Island

Chapter 290: Peeling off the cocoon
"Great, great, Tai Sui, you really saw through my plan. I was wondering why Sivina left Lester alone and came to attack me instead?"

Phoenix smiled and said, "Actually, when I saw you going back to the main city to look for Sivina, I had a feeling that the plan might fail."

"Taisui, why do you have to protect this woman? She is so stupid, how can she be your teammate? Have you really made up your mind to join Neptune Port?"

Gao Xin said calmly: "At least Xi Wei Na won't lie to me. It's better than a guy who is full of lies."

Phoenix said with a headache: "I didn't lie to you at the beginning, I just decided to play the game properly."

"If you and I join forces, I will never lie to you."

Gao Xin said: "Really? Then can you tell me the truth now, do you have a real dragon card?"

Phoenix pondered, and combining the previous and subsequent words, Gao Xin’s meaning was very clear. Whether there was a real dragon or not was not what attracted him to join a team, but sincerity was.

So he thought for a while and said, "Oh, well, I admit it. I don't have a True Dragon Card now."

"And I can also tell you that I have not deployed combat power cards in the Qing Empire."

Gao Xin frowned: "No deployment?"

Black Pearl shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, kill Sivina first, Phoenix, show us your Hidden Dragon Card!"

Everyone was shocked: "What?"

Didn't they just say that Phoenix deployed the card in the Qing Empire? And it must have been deployed secretly. If it was deployed openly, Xi Wei Na was not a fool and would have run away directly.

If you deploy it secretly, you can’t get it back, and the combat power card will always stay in that area.

Black Pearl smiled and said, "Tai Sui, you are indeed smart, but you are not omniscient after all."

"You got the plan right, but the details are all wrong!"

"We did plan to use Phoenix to kill Silvina."

"But Phoenix didn't agree to do this. On the one hand, they don't want so many powerful cards to stay in one area forever. On the other hand, they want to keep some backup plans here to prevent you from seeing through them."

"So the ones who are actually lying in ambush on the left wing of the Qing Empire are me and Lester."

"As for the great white shark, it didn't want to kill Silvina after all, so it didn't go in."

"Don't forget, Lester still has three True Elephant Cards. He himself is a powerful Quasi-Elephant King. As long as I can deal with the Angel of Power, he will be able to kill Sivina."

"Not to mention, he also grabbed a Hidden Dragon card. This was a pleasant surprise. After all, we didn't know what wild monsters would spawn, so we just asked him to grab a random monster, and it turned out to be a Hidden Dragon card."

"Four elephants and one hidden dragon are more than enough to kill that bitch Sivina!"

Her words were so well-thought-out and flawless that Sivina was shocked.

Even Gao Xin frowned and stared at Phoenix: "You still have two Qianlong cards on you now?"

Phoenix nodded: "Don't you want to hear the truth? The truth is that I don't have a real dragon card, but I haven't played a single card either, and I still have three cards on me."

"If all the strong cards were left in the Qing Empire, and you came to kill us like you are doing now, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

"But I didn't expect that with so many of you coming here aggressively, only Sivina would fight hard while the others were just paddling..."

"So you and Mandala are not Baidi players?"

Gao Xin was solemn. He actually considered the possibility that his plan might be discovered and made preparations for both scenarios.

As he pulled Sivina back, he said in a deep voice: "Then why... don't you play your cards?"

Black Pearl and Great White Shark also urged, "Yeah, hurry up and play your cards, Phoenix, don't let them get away."

Phoenix waved his hand, still not playing a card, but said: "I have expressed my sincerity, Tai Sui, what I said just now is the truth."

"Once I choose to play a card, someone will die."

"So can you answer me now, do we still have a chance in Milan State?"

Mandragora frowned and shouted, "What are you thinking! He is from our Dragon Kingdom! If he goes to Milan, His Majesty Caesar will definitely..."

Phoenix interrupted directly: "Then let's start the war!"

Everyone was shocked.

Phoenix stared at Gao Xin and said, "If you are willing to join Milan State, Caesar will fight if he wants to!"

"Now, can you please answer me directly?"

Gao Xin shook his head and said, "I will not join Milan State. I don't want a full-scale war to start because of me."

Phoenix was silent, shrugged and returned to his lazy look.

Black Pearl shouted coldly: "Don't hesitate, play your cards, Phoenix!"

However, Phoenix remained indifferent and just said: "You can go, Tai Sui, but from now on I will play this game with all my strength, and I hope you can survive."

Gao Xin took Xivina and Yak and turned away.

Mandala hurried to follow.

Black Pearl was very anxious: "Just let them go like that? Fuck, are you keeping your cards for having a baby?"

Have a baby? Gao Xin's heart moved.

Just as he was about to enter the passage with everyone else, a sharp blade of wind approached from behind.

Gao Xin dodged instinctively, but at the same time he did not dare to be careless and had already overclocked to level seven.

Even with the seventh level of overclocking, he was unable to dodge it completely, and one of his arms and his left ribs were shattered.

With a bang, a blood mist burst out from Gao Xin's left side, and a scarlet spear shadow jumped out from the blood mist.

Without even turning his head, the Hell Wart Spear stabbed backwards like a ghost.

It instantly grew larger, and the energy gun shadow penetrated a hundred meters.

The great white shark's chest was pierced and its heart was about to explode, but it was suppressed by a powerful biological energy.

His creatures can be controlled with incredible precision, like a meat grinder, strangling with thousands of saw teeth.

In an instant, the energy of the Hell Wart Spear was shattered and dissipated.

So even though the great white shark was pierced in the heart, it only left a small hole, which healed quickly.

"Jaws! What are you doing! Do you want to die!" Sivina roared.

The great white shark showed his white teeth and smiled: "Miss San, you have to wake up. We are the real family."

"And Tai Sui is just using you."

Xi Wei Na said coldly: "My own people are teaming up with outsiders to deal with me?"

Great White Shark said: "Didn't Black Pearl just say that? I didn't participate."

"From the beginning to the end, I never attacked you, Miss Third."

"Whether in the game or in real life, we are all family. Who is deceiving you and who could betray you? Think about it carefully."

After saying that, he didn't do anything else.

Gao Xin and his men gradually retreated to the left wing of the White Empire, and finally to the main city.

Because only the main city can accommodate the four players at the same time, Li Fengqing is also here.

At this moment, the five people gathered in the main city, and the left and right wings were directly abandoned, allowing the enemy to attack.

Mandala smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a good actor, Sivina."

"They will never imagine that our paddling and your defense breaking were all acting."

"Now I'm afraid that we are considered to have many traitors among us and that our people are not united."

He praised Sivana.

However, Silvina had a cold face and looked uneasy.

"Is it possible that we are full of traitors and our people are not united?"

She was really broken-down. On the one hand, she just found out the real reason for attacking the Black Empire, and she was scared.

On the other hand, the way everyone was paddling didn't seem like they were acting.

If it was a real insider, he would play it this way, and would prefer to play it this way.

Gao Xin's strategy of feigning defeat is more like a protective film, used to cover up the fact that they are the real traitors and just don't want to play any cards.

Why do you think so? Because Gao Xin and the great white shark can hurt each other.

This proves that they are not in the same camp... The last words of Jaws kept swirling in Sivina's mind.

"You are not a Baidi player..." Sivina suddenly looked at Gao Xin.

Gao Xin directly admitted: "Yes, I am not a Baidi player."

The war stage is a regional rule, and the Apostle made it very clear: the White Empire and the Black Empire are at war, and the two countries have entered the war stage.

So Gao Xin is not a member of the White Empire, but as long as he is within the borders of the two countries, he can harm other players as long as they are not in the same camp.

Of course, he could say that Great White Shark was not a Baidi player, but Gao Xin didn’t say that, because what if Sivina really believed it and then hurt Great White Shark, wouldn’t that cause her to be killed?
However, Xi Wei Na's face suddenly turned red: "Why did you lie to me?"

Gao Xin hesitated to speak. In fact, he didn't want to lie to Sivina.

But Sivina couldn't understand the secret code...and there was no tacit understanding between them.

If he confessed to Sivina, it would be the same as revealing it to everyone around him. The same was true for Yake. Since Sivina's identity was known, Gao Xin chose to take Yake to a private chat.

After that, a series of things happened again. Gao Xin had no chance to tell Sivina about her identity.

Xi Wei Na's eyes widened and she said, "I like you so much, and I'm so sincere to you. I even risked my own life for your safety, and I came in even though I don't know how to play the game. You're lying to me like this?"

"Is it possible that just because you don't know how to play the game, I want to cheat you as well?" Gao Xin pursed his lips.

Xi Wei Na shook her head excitedly and said, "I don't care, I don't care! You just can't lie to me, otherwise how can I know if you want to kill me?"

"All the men I like want to kill me...but you can't, you absolutely can't want to kill me too!"

Her eyes were sharp and crazy, yet revealed a sense of helplessness and lack of security.

“……” Gao Xin was speechless.

How did this woman make something so unreasonable sound so cruel, crazy, and pathetic?

Gao Xin didn't want to take care of her feelings, but after thinking about it, he said, "If I really wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't admit it."

"Someone who truly wants you dead will not let you know he is lying."

"He will just keep lying to you until he dies."

"I said, I won't let you die, and if you die, I will avenge you."

"If you hadn't listened to my advice and gone to the Qing Empire and died there... I would have killed them all!"

These words hit Sivina instantly.

Her excited and crazy expression was calmed down at once.

Gao Xin didn't explain too much to her, nor did he choose to continue lying to her, saying that Great White Shark had another identity.

He said, 'If you die, I will kill them all.'

If you understand, then understand. If you don’t, forget it.

Just this one sentence caught Sivina.

Sivina lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, tough guy, violence is restricted in this game, so there's probably nothing I can do to help you."

Gao Xin said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I will help you win."

Silvina was delighted and her eyes lit up again.

The unhappiness on her face disappeared instantly, as if it wasn't her.

"I knew you were the best!"

Sivina likes Gao Xin's extremely confident look.

Seeing that Gao Xin had calmed Xi Wei Na, Mandala smiled and said, "If you are not, then you are not. Then Tai Sui, can you tell me which country you are from?"

When Gao Xin heard this, he knew that he was still not aware of the situation in the free man camp.

He just said: "I was born into the Black Empire."

Everyone was stunned. Li Fengqing looked strange: "So, you are on the same side as Phoenix?"

Gao Xin shook his head: "No, Phoenix is ​​not a Black Emperor player."

Xi Wei Na was shocked and said, "Ah? He is not from the Black Empire? He even fought with me... Then he can only be a player from the Blue Empire!"

Mandala groaned, "No wonder, no wonder he didn't play a card..."

"He'll be exposed as soon as he plays his cards. If he deploys the Dragon Card, the Blue Empire will declare war on the Black Empire, and then everyone will know that he's a Blue Empire player."

Gao Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "No, Black Pearl and the others know that Phoenix is ​​not a Black Emperor player. After all, she said that she originally intended for Phoenix to play a card to kill Sivina."

"But if Phoenix is ​​a Black Empire player, then deploying the Dragon Card in the Blue Empire would start a war, wouldn't it?"

Sivina nodded and said, yes, then wouldn’t that mean a war has begun?
Unless Phoenix was originally a Qingdi player.

Gao Xin continued, "I deliberately got the details wrong before, just to trick Phoenix into saying something."

"Unfortunately, Phoenix is ​​very tight-lipped and directly said that he had not deployed any cards in the Qing Empire at all, and he still had three cards on him."

"Instead, it was Black Pearl's words that exposed the issue... She said that this was indeed the original plan, but Phoenix disagreed with issuing the card."

Mandala immediately said, "You mean Phoenix still wanted to pretend to be a Black Emperor player in front of us... but Black Pearl said the original plan, which exposed him."

"But could it be that they are cooperating with each other? Are they deliberately making us think that Phoenix is ​​a Qingdi player?"

Gao Xin gave him a meaningful look.

Then he said, "It's possible. However, if he wants us to think he is a Qingdi player, wouldn't it be enough for him to just admit that he deployed all the cards in Qingdi?"

"Why did you take the initiative to expose it? Tell me honestly, he still has three cards on him?"

Xi Wei Na said: "Isn't that to intimidate us? If he didn't play his cards at that time, he wouldn't be able to stop us at all."

"So he deliberately lied to us and said he had three more cards."

"In fact, he didn't have any cards on him! So he didn't play any cards until the very end."

Gao Xin sighed and said, "No, he definitely has three cards on him."

"I've been testing him, asking him if he has two Hidden Dragon cards."

"But he never gave me a direct answer. He just said he had never used the card and he never paid until the end."

"Now I think he has three random cards. He never stayed in his own camp to draw a card from the beginning to the end."

Li Fengqing was surprised and asked, "How is that possible?"

"I heard from you that he is already a latent dragon. At this level, he shouldn't go undercover. Isn't it enough to just swipe the card steadily?"

"He has always been considered to be at the Elephant level, but in fact he has secretly broken through to the Potential Dragon level. How can this be used to our advantage?"

"When everyone thought he had a True Elephant card, he unexpectedly summoned a bunch of Hidden Dragon cards. What a huge advantage this is?"

"Why does he have to keep randomizing cards? Isn't this just wasting his advantage as a hidden dragon?"

Gao Xin shook his head slightly: "This is where his brilliance lies!"

"He just wants us to think that he has a lot of Hidden Dragon Cards on him."

"But in reality, does he really need to get the cards steadily? Isn't it enough for him to just make us believe that he will definitely get the Hidden Dragon card?"

"This way, as long as he doesn't play any cards, we will think he has a lot of Hidden Dragon cards!"

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the case and it made sense.

He has a hidden advantage, but he doesn't use it. He just pretends to use it, but actually secretly takes advantage of this opportunity to be random.

After all this time, they are still bragging about imperialism, and they have been bragging from beginning to end!
Mandala sneered, "On the surface, he is intimidating, but secretly he can also covet better cards. This is how he maximizes his true benefits as a hidden dragon!"

"I just don't know whether Black Pearl and the others know about this."

"Black Pearl kept urging him to play cards at the end. Maybe she was just trying to cooperate with him, or maybe she really thought he had the Hidden Dragon card..."

Silvina yelled, "How could that nigger be so smart? She must have been fooled by Phoenix's boasting just like we were before. She really thought he had the Hidden Dragon Card."

Gao Xin said, "No matter what, Phoenix refused to play its cards until the very end. It would rather let us go than hide."

"I didn't see it, that's it!"

"He has at most one Hidden Dragon card! After all, we don't know where he drew his second card."

Xi Wei Na pondered: "The second one...isn't it also in the Black Empire?"

Mandala immediately said, "No, if Black Pearl knew that he was a Qingdi player, and really thought that he had the Hidden Dragon Card when he urged him at the last moment..."

"That means the second round of card draws for Phoenix Constellation was in the Qing Empire!"

"Otherwise, Black Pearl, why do you think Phoenix can play the Hidden Dragon card?"

Gao Xin recalled: "The first round of card drawing for Phoenix was in the Black Empire. At that time, he said that he drew the True Tiger card randomly."

"Looking back now, he didn't lie. He told the truth."

"Later, everyone came to our place and gathered. Mandala, you said that Caesar would start a war..."

"Then Phoenix went away and said 'that's all, just play the game'."

"It was from this time that Phoenix really began to focus on games, forming cliques, telling lies, and various intimidations and plots."

"He must go to the Qing Empire to form a gang, so his second card should be drawn in the Qing Empire."

"The third card, drawn in front of me, is in the Baidi stronghold..."

Everyone's expressions froze. In that case, Phoenix had drawn a card from each of the three territories of Black, White and Green!

So he is a Hidden Dragon card and two random cards.

Gao Xin peeled off the layers of silk and saw through the Phoenix Constellation as if he had stripped off its clothes.

Everyone was amazed. If it weren’t for Gao Xin, they would probably still be in the dark and think that he had two Hidden Dragon Cards.
