Tiandi Baiju

"Du Jing!" Zhou Luoyang fell lighter this time than the last time. Although his eyes were still dark and bright, he quickly pulled off his seat belt and staggered towards the sea of ​​flames.

The raging fire engulfed the entire forest, Zhou Luoyang carried Du Jing out of the fire circle, and patted the burning spot on his body.

Du Jing's condition was much better than last time. With his left arm hanging down and his right hand resting on Zhou Luoyang's shoulder, he staggered out of the woods.

Dogs barked and people's voices came, KCR people came.

"Who are they?" Zhou Luoyang asked in disbelief with bruises on his face.

"Mercenaries." Du Jing panted in a low voice, "There must be something wrong somewhere."

Zhou Luoyang didn't dare to force Du Jing to escape. If he escapes now, he won't be able to escape quickly. If he is discovered, he will be caught up sooner or later.The two hid in a hidden corner, and Zhou Luoyang quickly explained to Du Jing what happened in the first 24 hours in a low voice.

Zhou Luoyang: "Is it... Someone betrayed us?"

"It's possible," Du Jing said succinctly, "but until now, KCR still doesn't know who I am. It wasn't Huang Ting who leaked the news."

After being reminded like this, Zhou Luoyang realized the problem instantly - apart from being the owner of the antique shop, Hong Hou only thought that Du Jing was also a criminal police officer!What is the basis for the judgment?Besides them, KCR also captured Huang Ting and Zhuang Li?So I mistakenly thought that the four of them were colleagues!

Du Jing said: "As long as Huang Ting and Zhuang Li successfully escape, they won't be able to confirm our identities... When Marquis Hong asked me to meet, I tricked Versetti's eyes."

"Take it, I will lure them away. If you escape successfully, try to activate it after twelve noon. If you don't escape, activate it before you are caught, so that we will return to the noon of the previous day..."

Du Jing pressed Zhou Luoyang, but Zhou Luoyang said, "No, let me go."

Zhou Luoyang pushed Du Jing away, and said in a low voice, "Go find Huang Ting! Make sure they are still alive! In this kind of place, I can't escape at all! It is difficult to protect myself!"

Du Jing's success rate of escaping from the scene is obviously much higher than that of Zhou Luoyang, after all, he has received professional training in surviving in the wild.

Du Jing held Zhou Luoyang's wrist tightly, and the two looked at each other in silence.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

"Luoyang." Du Jing said.

Zhou Luoyang nodded to express his reassurance, then turned and ran to where the voice came from.

Du Jing silently looked at Zhou Luoyang's distant figure, his eyes were like a bloodthirsty leopard in the darkness.

Zhou Luoyang walked towards the mercenary slowly, raised his hands, the enemy surrounded him in the dark, and gave him a gun butt, Zhou Luoyang passed out.

When he woke up again, he was still on the hospital bed, experiencing almost exactly the same day again.

"Where is your friend?" This time, Hong Hou asked politely, "Do you think that he will definitely come to rescue you?"

Zhou Luoyang recalled the last conversation with Marquis Hong, Du Jing should have escaped successfully.

Even if he knew what Honghou was going to say next, he didn't make any foresight, so as not to arouse Honghou's vigilance.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Zhou Luoyang said, "You attack and kidnap scholars, which will lead to diplomatic incidents."

Marquis Hong suddenly burst out laughing, and said, "Diplomatic incident? Mr. Zhou, are you really here for archeology in Cambodia?"

"Otherwise?" Zhou Luoyang walked aside, pulled out the samurai sword in Honghou's study, glanced at it, and pushed it back into the sheath.

Hong Hou took out a transparent plastic bag, which contained Su Pu's lipstick gun.

"Then please explain to me," Hong Hou said, "Why does an archaeologist hold this?"

Zhou Luoyang said lightly, "There must be something for self-defense."

Hong Hou said: "I think, how about we make a deal?"

Then, Zhou Luoyang experienced yesterday's game commentary.Just when Hong Hou was about to speak again, Zhou Luoyang suddenly said: "We're going to hold a real-person competition and let the benefactors bet. Do you have enough people for this game?"

"Not enough," Hong Hou said, "one more."

"I remember that there are far more than six people missing." Zhou Luoyang said again.

Hong Hou nodded and said: "Not everyone is willing to cooperate. When we found candidates for the competition and brought them to the rest area, we found that some players were really not qualified. The game is all about going all out and having fun ,right?"

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Hong Hou also said: "It is not easy to select outstanding players. The audience is now more picky than before."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Whoever refuses to cooperate, or who you think are inappropriate, have you killed them all?"

"It's dealt with," Hong Hou said, "but you are not within the scope of the deal."

Zhou Luoyang's hand trembled a little, but this time, Hong Hou didn't let him make a decision on the spot.

"Go back and think about it carefully." Hong Hou said, "I think the sixth candidate should come soon."

Zhou Luoyang was taken to the guest room again and placed under house arrest.

He glanced at the electronic clock, and it was 07:30 in the night. This time, Du Jing did not go back to the time, not only did he not go back to midnight, nor did he go back to the noon of the previous day—assuming he activated the Versatile Eye in the early morning, then Zhou Luoyang would be in a coma and return to the previous day's twelve o'clock noon.

Nothing happened that night, but Zhou Luoyang knew that Du Jing and Huang Ting might have met up and were looking for his whereabouts.

This was the first time in several months that he did not share the same bed with Du Jing.

However, he found strangely that the insomniac had become himself instead, and he couldn't fall asleep without Du Jing by his side.The information has become intricate, and in the twice-repeated day, fragments of clues seem to constitute another map with hidden meanings.

What else is there that they don't know about?

Zhou Luoyang tried to sort out the whole incident - just like Du Jing's previous speculation, there was generally no deviation.The organization controlled by Hong Hou abducts people from China and other countries, tricks them into Cambodia, and allows them to participate in real-life escape rooms for the entertainment of rich people from all over the world.

It can be seen from the subtitles of the promotional video that, as one of the businesses, Honghou uses the tickets and bets of the audience in each season to make a profit.Drugs, arms, antiques, etc... KCR fights against the government and raises money for mercenaries, and realizes it through dark web transactions.

Xiao Wu and Lu Zhongyu were the contestants they had identified in advance, and Hong Hou called the game process of these people's escape from the secret room in foreign countries the "trial competition", which means to make the first attempt through the monitoring of the secret room. round of screening.

Zhou Luoyang and Du Jing stepped into their trials by mistake, so they left a record.

But how did Hong Hou discover them, and the whole process of chasing them all the way from mainland China to Cambodia?At what point did the identity leak?It's good to raise the alarm at the joint location for the first time, but they quickly turn back time.

When they were attacked by mercenaries, they obviously knew that Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang were on the helicopter.Recalling the past few days, Zhou Luoyang seemed to be under surveillance in front of the Mariamman Temple. Perhaps since then, the other party has been following them.

Before entering the Mariamman Temple, Ruan Song hadn't seen the two of them, so it shouldn't have aroused Ruan Song's vigilance.

The only possibility is that someone knew they were going from Wan City to Hong Kong, and then arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, and notified Hong Hou in advance.Hung Hou was unable to pinpoint their actions in Ho Chi Minh City.

So far he has not mentioned Huang Ting, which is proof.

Yes!Zhou Luoyang finally found the most important point - Hong Hou didn't mention Huang Ting!

Earlier he said "your friends" instead of "your friends"!

He didn't know the existence of Huang Ting and Zhuang Li, he only knew about himself and Du Jing!

Then the informer who reported the news to Marquis Hong might not know of Huang Ting's existence.

There is a more important question: the informer seems to have no idea of ​​Du Jing's identity?In other words, he deliberately concealed Du Jing's identity from Honghou.

Who is this person?

Zhou Luoyang sorted out the clues, but he was even more confused. He believed that Du Jing must be conducting the same analysis at this moment.He was in a daze, half asleep and half awake, dreaming of the moment the helicopter fell, and the feeling of weightlessness made him fly on the seat.However, in the blink of an eye, he appeared on Du Jing's Ferrari.

Du Jing drove at the fastest speed, the moment he flew off the cliff - Zhou Luoyang turned to look at him.

Du Jing let go of the steering wheel, turned towards him, put his arm around Zhou Luoyang's waist, and bowed his head to kiss his lips in front of the abyss of life and death.

There was a sound from the guest room door, and the door was opened.

Zhou Luoyang woke up suddenly, his eyes blinded by the sun, and he couldn't help panting.

The pajama pants were wet, and Zhou Luoyang hadn't lost control in his dream for nearly half a month.

"The boss asked you to wash up as soon as possible and come out." A bodyguard said in English.

"You go out." Zhou Luoyang said impatiently, frowning deeply.

He hurriedly washed and changed the clothes and cotton underwear prepared in the closet. The manor was obviously very attentive and had prepared all the daily necessities for him.

Zhou Luoyang changed into a white shirt and black shorts in the closet, and came out in sneakers.

Two bodyguards led him downstairs.

The manor is bigger than he imagined, and it seems that more than half of the area is still open for business. When Zhou Luoyang heard the sound of a car and wanted to look out the window, the bodyguards didn't give him the chance, and carried him from left to right, along the stairs Step down quickly and enter a magnificent hall.

It was a huge casino, full of gaming tables and slot machines, Zhou Luoyang could see that someone was playing baccarat, Southeast Asians, Chinese and whites were mixed together.

The bodyguard brought Zhou Luoyang to a card table and opened a chair for him.

Hong Hou was on the other side, playing Texas Hold'em with Du Jing.

"People are here, what's next? What are you betting on?" Hong Hou said to Du Jing.

Zhou Luoyang did not speak, but glanced at Du Jing. Du Jing turned his head and glanced at him to confirm that he was not injured.

The corners of Du Jing's eyes were covered with bruises from falling into the woods the day before, and his complexion improved a lot, with a Band-Aid on the side of his face.

Du Jing did not talk to Zhou Luoyang, but said to Honghou, "What do you want to bet?"

Du Jing wore a white shirt on his upper body and trousers on his lower body. He slightly rolled down the sleeves of his shirt, revealing the Eye of Versailles on his wrist.

Seeing that it was past twelve o'clock and the watch was still in Du Jing's hand, Zhou Luoyang felt relieved.

"Bet on him?" Hong Hou said with a smile, "If you win, take him away."

Du Jing said: "If he loses, of course I will stay with him, which is very reasonable."

Honghou lit a cigarette and said, "Would you like to gamble?"

"No." Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing waved his hand, indicating that it's okay.

Zhou Luoyang put his hand on Du Jing's wrist, pressed the Eye of Versailles, and was about to spin it, but Du Jing put his other hand on the back of Zhou Luoyang's hand and stabilized his movements, meaning that he didn't need to. .

The croupier restarted the game. Du Jing ate the candy, picked up the cards in his hand, and put his thumb against it, making Zhou Luoyang take a look.

A 3 of spades.

Zhou Luoyang didn't speak, the two sides played cards, Hong Hou laughed, and showed Du Jing his cards, Du Jing lost.

"Very good." Hong Hou said.

"Very good." Du Jing also said, "Assuming I die, I will give him all the bonus and let him leave alive."

Hong Hou said seriously: "It may not be the two of you who win in the end, but as long as the winner is any one of you, I will follow suit."

"I will work hard." Du Jing said casually.

Hong Hou said: "I look forward to your performance. We have always respected the contestants who volunteered."

Zhou Luoyang: "You..."

Du Jing put a hand on Zhou Luoyang's shoulder, turned sideways, and got very close, his lips moved slightly, and his breath smelled of coffee candy.

He looked seriously into Zhou Luoyang's eyes and said, "We are destined to be together wherever we go."

Thus, Du Jing and Zhou Luoyang lived in the same suite, and there were still two days before the start of the match.

This time, Hong Hou gave them excellent treatment. The monitoring was still there, but the specifications of the board and lodging were upgraded. It must be because Du Jing took the initiative to send them to the door.

After all, voluntary participation in this kind of competition means that you have to bear the consequences you know. Most of them come for money. Courage is commendable. Naturally, KCR also gives sufficient respect to those who know that they must die and go to die.

"In previous competitions like this," Zhou Luoyang said, "is there anyone who voluntarily participates?"

"Maybe," Du Jing entered the room, started to unbutton his shirt, took off his clothes, and said, "It's just that we don't have the chance to see each other. After all, not everyone who wants to participate in the competition has a chance. When he first entered the live-action battle royale, he broke down and cried. Shouting endlessly will greatly affect the viewing quality of the game."

"How do they judge that I'm suitable?" Zhou Luoyang was really puzzled.

Du Jing looked at his half-naked body in the mirror. After the plane crashed the day before yesterday, he had a lot of scratches on his body.

"I don't know," Du Jing said, "I think you are very smart at first glance? Wife, give me a medicine, it can't reach my back."

Zhou Luoyang stared at Du Jing, Du Jing brought the potion and sat with his back to Zhou Luoyang.

Zhou Luoyang: "How did you find this place?"

Du Jing: "It's very simple. After standing in a nearby town for half an hour, their people naturally found me and brought me here."

Zhou Luoyang didn't ask Du Jing if he had made arrangements, or what kind of proper arrangements he had made. He knew that since Du Jing had successfully entered, he must have prepared a backup.

I have to admit that this move is indeed very beautiful. Compared with being caught and handcuffed, Du Jing has taken the lead to a certain extent. Hong Hou is not afraid of exposing their location, and he doesn't care what Du Jing can do.

Marquis Hong holds a separatist military force and has a close relationship with Vietnam. He provides services to many chaebols in Europe and the United States. As long as China and the United States do not send bombers to bomb his base, even the local government of Cambodia will do nothing to him.

The disappearance of the foreign population was blamed on Vietnam by him, who disappeared only after visiting Ho Chi Minh City.

Zhou Luoyang gave Du Jing medicine. Du Jing put on his shirt, opened his chest, turned to look at him, and looked at each other. He knew that there must be monitoring and listening in the room.

"Miss me?" Du Jing raised his hand, and gently brushed Luoyang's side face next week with his fingers.

"A little bit." Zhou Luoyang replied, "What are we going to do now?"

He knew that Honghou could see what they were doing whenever he wanted to, and what they were playing was a same-sex couple.

"Sleep," Du Jing said, "I'm sleepy, I haven't closed my eyes for 36 hours."

Zhou Luoyang lay down on the bed, Du Jing stretched out his arms, and let him rest on his pillow naturally. With a retraction of his arms, he pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Zhou Luoyang heard his heartbeat.

In Zhou Luoyang's ear, Du Jing said in a volume that only two people could hear:

"He doesn't know anything, he just thinks we are here for archaeology in Cambodia, you are an antique dealer invited by Sotheby's, and I am your bodyguard."

"Impossible," Zhou Luoyang said in a low voice, "He has already discovered Su Pu's silencer gun."

Zhou Luoyang wanted to ask Huang Ting and Zhuang Li if they were out of danger, but at this time there must be no mistakes, so he had to hold back.

At the same time, he also thought that Huang Ting mentioned a colleague who had never shown up and was retired from the peacekeeping force.Maybe this dark chess can play an unexpected role.

"Believe me, I already guessed who sold him the news." Du Jing moved his lips slightly, let go of him slightly, adjusted his posture, and hugged him comfortably, like hugging a doll, kicking Put it on his waist, put him in his own protective space, close his eyes, breathe evenly, and fell asleep.
