The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

After hearing the prompt, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and entered the back garden of the villa through the glass door together, and their teammates followed.Originally, everyone should go back to the card wall after the game of the secret room, and find the gatekeeper to receive rewards, but this time everyone walked into a garden?

The garden is very large, with many tall trees blocking the view, and the cobbled roads are winding and criss-crossing, like another maze.

In the floating frame above everyone's head, a reminder of [Countdown 5:00] appeared at the same time.

Everyone looked at each other.

Lao Mo wondered: "The road to this garden looks very complicated, it should be a small maze. Didn't we successfully solve the puzzle and escape from the secret room? Why is there still a 5-minute countdown? Are we going to escape this garden again?"

Xiao Lou carefully recalled the reminder when he left the villa just now—the truth is about to be revealed.

Reminiscent of what the gatekeeper said when entering the secret room of 9 squares - the reward method of the secret room this time is also related to the mechanism you unlocked.If you unlock the mechanism of the reward room, you can get rare cards.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou immediately realized: "This is the reward maze."

After hearing this, Ye Qi said excitedly: "I see, this is the same as the treasure chest maze in stand-alone RPG games. At the end of every forked road, there are either equipment treasure chests or monsters that are difficult to deal with."

Xiao Lou nodded and said: "The reward maze is limited to 5 minutes. Everyone needs to find the treasure chest and get the cards as soon as possible. Let's move in groups and use the four-way arrow to mark the fork in the road."

Everyone had no objection to Xiao Lou's arrangement. They still followed the grouping just now. Xiao Lou, Long Qu and his wife were in a group with Lao Mo. Yu Hanjiang led Mr. Shao, Ye Qi and Liu Qiao, and everyone dispersed at the fork in the first road. Open, one team goes to the left, and the other team goes to the right.

Xiao Lou and the others went left.

After walking for a long time, they saw a square path.

These squares are painted in different colors, the first three rows, each row has a red square, the fourth row has two blue squares side by side; the fifth row is red, and the sixth row has two blue squares juxtaposed; the seventh row is drawn as a semicircle and is green.

This piece of road is all connected by such a grid, which looks like one house after another.

Xiao Lou looked at the colored squares on the ground suspiciously: "Three red squares, then two blue squares side by side, another red square, two blue squares side by side, and the last green square... What does this mean?"

Qu Wanyue chuckled and said, "Did Professor Xiao ever play 'hopscotch' when he was a child?"

Xiao Lou touched his nose in embarrassment: "I haven't played it before."

He liked to be quiet since he was a child, not as naughty as other boys. The game he played most often was to pile up blocks at home. He had never played hopscotch.

Long Sen pointed to the arrangement of grids on the ground and said: "This is a children's hopscotch game. The first three grids need to be hopped on one foot, and the fourth row of parallel grids can stand on both feet; the fifth row of grids is still hopped on one foot. , the sixth row stands on both feet; the last row of semicircular ones, called 'houses', can stay for a few seconds to rest. The front grids cannot stay."

Xiao Lou suddenly realized: "Single grid with one foot, two feet side by side, and the last house resting... We all need to jump over this section of the road according to this rule, otherwise it is likely to trigger punishment?"

Qu Wanyue said: "That's right, this section of the road is all hopscotch, we have to follow the rules."

Long Sen took the lead, followed by Qu Wanyue and Lao Mo, and Xiao Lou followed everyone, jumping all the way forward according to the rules of one foot, one foot, one foot, two feet, one foot, two feet, rest .

After dancing for about half a minute, everyone saw a fork in the road.

Xiao Lou left a mark at the fork in the road, everyone went to the left first, and found a treasure chest within a few steps.

There is no password for the treasure chest this time, and there is a card in it after opening——

【Special Effect Card: Hopscotch Game】

Rarity: S

Description: Maze Reward Card, which can be obtained by clearing A-level mazes and searching for treasure chests.

Use effect: Immediately arrange a large square of hopscotch game in an area of ​​500×500 meters. Everyone in the area must walk according to the rules of "hopscotch game". If you step on the wrong foot, you will be punished.

Cooldown time 24 hour.

The punishment method is: step on the wrong square, and freeze in the corresponding square for 3 minutes.

The effect of this card is very strong. The large area of ​​squares can slow down the action speed of enemies entering the range.

When being hunted down, setting up such a "hopscotch game" square and letting them jump over slowly with one foot or two feet switching is much more useful than the 9-second small-scale fixation of the nine-square grid.

If it is used with a card that is blind in range, such as Old Lady Qin's [Human Bone Medicine Pot], or [Bai Juyi]'s Pipa Xing that has a chaotic range, the opponent will definitely jump to the wrong grid when his eyes are smeared or confused.For every wrong jump, the control time is 3 minutes, and the overall control time limit is extremely high.

Xiao Lou put away this S card, and asked Yu Hanjiang through the telepathic channel: "Have you gained anything?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "I just walked through a grid."

What their team encountered was also a color grid, but it was just a long horizontal grid, only black and white.

The arrangement order of the grid is white black black white black black black black black black black black.

As soon as Yu Hanjiang saw the black and white squares, he knew it must be a trampling mechanism, and he would be punished if he stepped on it wrongly, such as falling into a pit, so he didn't move for the time being.

The grid is not simply black and white, but two white grids are repeated after three groups.

Yu Hanjiang just wanted to ask his teammates for their opinions, but Ye Qi immediately said: "These are the keys of the piano!" He pointed to the horizontal bars under his feet and said: "The white grid is the do, re, mi, fa, keys on the piano. There are seven tones, so, la, and xi, and the black squares are half-tones of falling and rising. We should step on the white squares to make the correct notes, and don’t touch the black squares.”

"Okay, let's go." Yu Hanjiang believed in Ye Qi's judgment, and when Ye Qi said it, he also felt like a piano.

Ye Qi took the lead consciously. When he stepped on the first white square, the piano sound of "do" came from his ears. He continued to step on the back, and the white square really sounded the piano's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 consecutively. , 6, 7 piano sounds.

The teammates followed Ye Qi quickly through the keyboard area, and saw a shining golden treasure chest at the corner.

Yu Hanjiang stepped forward to open the treasure chest, and there was a card in it——

【Tool Card: Piano Music Box】

Rarity: S

Description: Labyrinth Reward Card, which can be obtained by clearing the A-level maze to search for treasure chests.

Additional Skill 1: Music Box

Open the piano music box in your hand and play the music "Dream Wedding". Within 1 minute of the music box playing music, all targets within 50 meters will fall into a coma; the cooling time is 4 hours.

Additional Skill 2: Pianist

Scale up the piano music box in your hand and turn it into a real piano of the same size as in reality.Find someone to sit in front of the piano and play any piece of music. During the performance, the hostile targets within 100 meters will immediately stop in place and concentrate on listening to the piano music played. They cannot move or release any card skills.Friendly targets can move, but cannot release skills.

Each chamber is limited to one use.

Note: The pieces to be played can only be piano pieces, and cannot be changed in the middle.

Ye Qi excitedly took the card, and said: "This card is more useful than the Erhu that I drew before. Especially the 2nd skill, you can choose the hostile target. When the time comes, I will sit in front of the piano and play a super long song. The song, the enemy can only watch from the side, can't move, and can't use card skills, hahaha!"

Seeing his happy look, Shao Qingge couldn't help but patted Xiaoye's shoulder with a light smile, and said, "This is equivalent to giving a special concert. The card allows you to play only one piano piece, the longest piano piece How long can you play?"

Ye Qi laughed and said: "The longest piano piece in the world is "Trouble" by American composer Eric Satie. The whole piece lasts 18 hours and 40 minutes, and many pianists take turns to play, Can play all day and night."

Everyone: "..."

Ye Qi said regretfully: "It's a pity I can't."

Shao Qingge helplessly supported his forehead: "Among the piano pieces you know, how long can you play the longest one?"

Ye Qi said with a smile: "I know a few Beethoven sonatas, about 20 minutes, this control time is long enough."

Of the group control cards that have been drawn so far, this [Piano Music Box] skill is the most flexible. The control time is the same as the time of the piano music played, and it is almost tailor-made for Ye Qi.If you want to play short, you can play an ordinary piece of 3 minutes. If you want to control for a long time, Ye Qi can play Beethoven Sonata for 20 minutes to control the enemy continuously.

However, each time the secret room is used once, the restriction is relatively large, and it can only be used in the most critical moment.

And there is one of the card skills: the enemy cannot move or attack, and our side cannot attack, but can move.

In other words, if Ye Qi controls the opponent for 20 minutes in a row, it is not allowed for our side to directly kill all the enemy targets.At most, let Ye Qi control a large number of enemies, and our teammates can move and escape.Wait for his teammates to escape to a safe location, and then use various teleportation skills to pull Ye Qi over - Ye Qi held a concert by himself and dragged the opposite group, which is equivalent to giving the team 20 minutes to escape.

Yu Hanjiang told Xiao Lou about his card skills, and Xiao Lou was also very happy: "The difficulty of the reward maze this time is not high, but the quality of the cards we got is very high. There are 2 minutes left in the countdown, let's look for it again. "

In the next 2 minutes, everyone wandered around the back garden for a long time, and found some treasure chests, but they were not filled with cards, but some strange fragments of letters.

Under the leadership of Lao Mo, everyone quickly walked through the maze and collected 7 fragments in total.

Finally, when everyone met at the exit of the maze, all the pieces were put together to form a complete letter.

Everyone finally knows the truth of the square 9 [Music Maze] case.

At the end of the letter, I wrote: Dear Shirley, I said I would love you until I died, and I did it-Susan.

Everyone almost rolled their eyes in shock.

It turned out that the necklace was Susan's 18th birthday present to Shirley.

The two of them are high school classmates.

The intimate group photo of the two was taken away from the album by Shirley.

Originally, she had agreed not to marry for the rest of her life, but due to her status, face and family pressure, Shirley married Wells.After marriage, the two kept in touch in private. Susan often met with Shirley on the pretext of discussing business with Wells, and personally designed the decoration style for the couple's villa.

Wells often explained to his wife that he and Susan were just classmates and partners, and hoped that his wife would not think too much about it.

In fact, he didn't expect that Susan came to him not for him at all, but for his wife.

They have known each other for a long time, and she is Bai Yueguang who can never be forgotten in her heart.

Some time ago, due to her daughter's illness, Shirley decided to return to the family and completely cut off contact with Susan. This stimulated Susan. She believed that Shirley had betrayed the relationship between the two for many years—as described in the book "Lover" The same as before, people who love each other have to separate in the end and get married each other, but they can only miss each other for a lifetime.

She doesn't want to be separated.

So she made a crazy decision.

After killing Shirley's family of three, he himself died in the garden.

In this way, she can do the same as written in "Lover": I will love you until death.

At the exit of the garden maze, everyone found Susan's body.

Her dark purple clothes were stained with blood, and a sharp knife was stuck in her chest.

Xiao Lou leaned over to look at it, sighed lightly, and said, "It's suicide."
