The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

When everyone arrived at the Ferris Wheel Hotel, Shao Qingge was driving a suspension car and waiting for them on the parking lot. Lu Jiuchuan sat in the car and asked with concern after seeing everyone: "Is the process of checking genes going well?"

Tang Ci nodded: "The identities of the ten deceased have been confirmed, and Zhang Shaohua from Capital Star is a real person."

Shao Qingge sent this news to Qu Wanyue, asking her to follow up.

Xiao Lou looked at Ye Qi and asked, "Does Xiaoye have any impression of her mother?"

Ye Qi shook his head: "Not at all, I have been in an orphanage since I was a child. What's wrong?"

Xiao Loudao: "Your mother's bones were not found on the starship, and you are 19 years old now, and your father died 20 years ago, which means that your mother was pregnant at the time and did not flee with your father. I don't know if she was killed by His Majesty. Silenced, still secretly hiding somewhere alive... We have to check again."

Ye Qi scratched his head, took off the necklace around his neck, took out the necklace he found from his father's skeleton, and pieced it together, saying: "The necklace I've been wearing around my neck since I was a child and this necklace of my father, look It looks like two half-moons, and when put together they form a circle, could there be any clues hidden?"

Tang Ci took it over and observed it carefully for a while, then suddenly said: "This is a smart chip. If it is only half-circle, it cannot be opened at all. This half necklace of Ye Qi can be said to be the key to the smart chip carried by Ye Bowen."

Xiao Lou was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Look quickly, will there be any information in it?"

Tang Ci connected the unlocked smart chip to his optical brain, and there was a folder in it with the name [Experimental Group Information]. After opening it, he could see many familiar names——

Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi...

Each case is clearly and completely recorded, including the day when the cells were copied, the daily development of different cells, when the clones were born, what nutrient solution elements were added, and so on.

Ye Qi was stunned: "When the plan was restarted in 2985, I wasn't born yet, right?"

Xiao Lou opened Ye Qi's case and said, "Your mother is already pregnant, and you can also extract cells with the same gene as you from the embryo. The copied Ye Qi may be born earlier than you."

Ye Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Then what kind of children will be born after that? Directly extract embryonic cells, copy them and raise them in culture medium until they are five years old. Mothers don't have to work hard to conceive, raise children, and feed milk powder. They can go to elementary school directly after giving birth."

Shao Qingge said helplessly: "Then the whole social order will be in chaos, and your children can be raised quickly until they are the same age as you, or even older."

Xiao Lou looked carefully at the information in the chip, and said: "This is all cases of replicators. Besides the three of us, there are many children of researchers who participated in the plan, and even their own cells. Our speculation is a little wrong. At that time, more than three replicants were taken away on the Egret starship, and there may be many replicants found by the mermaids on the starship."

Ye Qi said with emotion: "In this case, they will have more materials for experiments..."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's go, we have to hurry up."

Shao Qingge started the suspension vehicle, and a group of people quickly came to the fishing village by the sea along the aerial driveway.

It was already dark, and the fishermen began to rest. Shao Qingge parked the hover car in a corner where no one had noticed, and using various displacement cards, he and his teammates returned to the deserted island in the distance.

There are still 3 hours until 24 o'clock in the morning, and the skills of all cards will be refreshed.After all, Lao Mo's lazy sofa has a cooling time and continuous effect limit, everyone just makes full use of these 3 hours to rest.

Tents were set up on the deserted island, Xiao Lou lit a fire, and everyone sat beside the fire, leaning on the tree to sleep.

It was almost 24 o'clock when everyone woke up.

Liu Qiao asked, "By the way, where is my card bag?"

Gui Yuanzhang took out a card pack from his pocket: "It's here with me. When Lao Mo and I rescued you, you were already unconscious. We weren't sure if you were Liu Qiao himself or a replicant, so we took you away first." Mr. Shao suggested to make you smaller and put it in a bottle, and we also used your [Thumbelina] card."

Liu Qiao nodded understandingly: "It's okay, it's good to be cautious. So don't you doubt me now?"

Xiao Lou looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Of course, you are so clear about the secret room we have experienced before, how could it be fake." He paused, and said to Gui Yuanzhang, "Senior, wait When you go into the water, return the card bag to Xiao Liu, in case of any danger in the sea, she has the card bag to defend herself, and she can protect herself.”

Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Leave me the two cards [Daughter of the Sea] and [Witch]. [Daughter of the Sea] can turn everyone into mermaids and dive into the deep sea to join you; and the card [Witch] has an antidote." , Mr. Shao and Ye Qi's insect king cards have already been used, and the witch's antidote may save lives at critical moments."

Gui Yuanzhang drew out these two cards to Yu Hanjiang, and then handed the card pack to Liu Qiao.

It was exactly 24:[-], Xiao Lou got up and looked at the dark sea in the distance, and said, "Move quickly, you three, and pay attention to safety. If you encounter mermaid patrols, you can use the invisibility cloak to avoid them. If you encounter them, you cannot solve them." If you are in danger, just call me with a heart, and I will take you back to the Peach Blossom Spring."

Xiao Lou summoned Qin Guan and had a tacit understanding with Lao Mo.

Yu Hanjiang warned: "After finding the replicator laboratory, Lao Mo immediately marked it and pulled us over."

Mo Xuemin nodded cautiously: "Okay, we will definitely complete the task."

The three of them looked at each other, jumped forward, and nimbly jumped into the dark water.

The green, blue and white tails make beautiful splashes on the sea.In a blink of an eye, the three mermaids disappeared. They could move forward at a speed of 200km/h. The distance from the deep sea to the deserted island was beyond the effective range of the team's headset, which is 10 kilometers away.

Xiao Lou said to Lao Mo with a tacit understanding: "This operation is very risky, you must be careful, if it doesn't work, just call me, I will pull you back."

Lao Mo replied: "Professor Xiao, don't worry, I know it well."

On the deserted island, Xiao Lou watched the calm sea surface gradually recover after the waves scattered, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of worry.Under the moonlight, his face was much paler than usual, and the hand beside him was lightly clenched into a fist, as if he was very disturbed.

Yu Hanjiang stepped forward, put his arms around his shoulders lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, since Senior Gui and Lao Mo already know the truth, they will definitely be more careful. Although our plan this time is risky, it is also the best plan."

The man's low voice comforted Xiao Lou a lot. He took a deep breath, forced a smile and said, "I hope everything goes well, and they won't be trapped by the maze."

Ye Qi said optimistically: "No. The three of them have grown up in the deep sea since they were young. The three of them are more flexible and lighter than our large army collectively exploring the maze. In addition, Lao Mo has the strongest sense of direction among us and is able to navigate the maze. The most powerful one, as long as there are no strange mechanisms in the maze, if you just explore the way, I believe he will be able to find out the path very quickly."

The maze this time is quite special. There is no one in the maze I encountered before, and the 12 of them walked together without appearing crowded.But this time, the mermaid palace is full of mermaids and patrol troops. If they all enter the maze together, they will easily attract the attention of the mermaids. It will only be worse if they are besieged.

Although risky, the practice of sending out vanguard troops is the best strategy at present.

At this time, Liu Qiao, Lao Mo and Gui Yuanzhang had sneaked into the palace.

The mermaid palace is more active at night than during the day, and the patrolling mermaid guards walk around, but this is not a problem for the three who grew up in the palace since they have the ability of mermaids, after all, they have a lot of cards Card.

Gui Yuanzhang used the brush to speed up their movement in the palace.

What's more, wearing an invisibility cloak, the patrol troops can't find it at all.

Lao Mo has checked the palace in the west before, and there will be more forks in the east.

The three quickly explored the way, while Lao Mo memorized the way in his mind.

After all, the invisibility cloak only lasts for half an hour. Once the cloak fails, it is possible to be surrounded by mermaids.Lao Mo lowered his voice and said: "Time is running out, the three of us will move separately, pay attention to leave a mark at the intersection of the dead end as a mark, and use the voice headset to keep in touch."

The distance inside the palace does not exceed 10 kilometers, and the voice headsets of the three of them can communicate with each other.

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "Okay, be careful."

The fluorescent cards with four-way arrows are too easy to be noticed, but it is safer to leave a mark. The three agreed to return when they encountered a dead end, and leave a sharp arrow-shaped mark at the intersection.

A moment later, the three of them met at a large intersection, the invisibility cloaks couldn't see each other, and the three of them almost ran into each other.

Gui Lao immediately said: "I walked more than a dozen forked roads, and the ends of the roads are all the residences of the mermaid tribe, and I found nothing unusual."

Liu Qiao said, "Me too."

Lao Mo was puzzled: "There are so many forks and no clues, what is the structure of the maze on the east side?"

Old man Gui said in pain, "I have a mediocre sense of direction, and I still have to rely on you to navigate the maze."

Lao Mo nodded: "I'll go forward, Xiao Liu will go to the left, Senior Gui will go to the right, let's continue exploring!"

After a while, Gui Lao and Liu Qiao met at the origin, but Lao Mo was nowhere to be seen.

Liu Qiao asked suspiciously, "Where did Uncle Mo go? Could it be that his path was the right one?"

At this moment, Mo Xuemin's familiar voice came from the earphones of the two: "I understand, the maze on the east side is actually a complex 'fishbone' structure, and many branch roads belong to the people of the mermaid tribe. The residence, no laboratory was found. There is actually only one main road in the maze, just like the spine in the middle of the fish bone."

Liu Qiao's eyes lit up: "It makes sense. No wonder there are so many interference items. It seems that these forks are all branches of fish bones... Uncle Mo, do you think the laboratory will be at the head of the fish or the tail of the fish?"

Old Mo said: "I have already arrived at Yutou. Here is a beautiful 270-degree viewing platform surrounded by colorful fish schools, just like an aquarium. I didn't find any obvious mechanism. It is very likely that the laboratory is located in the fish head. tail."

Gui Yuanzhang said: "We have to go in the opposite direction?"

Old Mo said: "Well, let's go straight and try."

He quickly came to Liu Qiao and Gui Yuanzhang's side, and continued to investigate in reverse.

At this moment, they saw Xiao Lou passing by the spacious corridor, and several guards around saw him, and immediately saluted respectfully: "Your Highness."

Xiao Lou frowned and asked, "Yes. Is there still no whereabouts of the princess?"

The guard lowered his head in shame and said: "The subordinates sent people to search the nearby sea area, but the princess has not been found. In addition, Elder Gui and Mr. Mo are also missing."

Xiao Loudao: "Keep looking, and report to me immediately if you have any news."

The three of them didn't dare to vent their breath, and hid beside them holding their breath, until Xiao Lou passed by and disappeared at the end of the corridor, and the three breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Qiao suggested: "Follow him, this area is where the elders of the mermaid clan live, he doesn't usually come here, but today he suddenly came here, and he went deep into the maze, maybe going to the clone laboratory? "

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "It makes sense, follow up and have a look."

The three of them followed Xiao Lou in the distance and came to the "fishtail" position of the maze.

This is very similar to the V-shaped tail of normal fish, with left and right branches.Lao Mo took a closer look and found that the structures on the left and right sides were exactly the same, and there was a door on both sides, and there was a switch in the shape of a picture on the door.

He froze for a moment, then said softly, "The two doors are exactly the same?"

Gui Yuanzhang frowned: "The theme of this secret room is replicants. Since there are real and fake people, of course there are real and fake labyrinths. Open the real door, and we can enter the replicator's laboratory; open the fake one, maybe It will be wiped out."

Lao Mo happily said: "Fortunately, I happened to meet Xiao Lou No. 5 today, and he will guide us."

Since the three of them could not follow too closely, Xiao Lou No. 5 had already disappeared from sight.But Gui Lao was keenly aware of a clue: "He went to the left, you see, the sea water fluctuations on the left are different from those on the right, obviously someone just passed by."

Lao Mo nodded: "That's right, I have already notified Professor Xiao with a good heart, and he asked me to use Li Qingzhao's sign to summon everyone here, and we will deal with Xiao Lou No. 5 first."

He summoned Li Qingzhao and activated the marking skill of "straying into the depths of the lotus flower".

Li Qingzhao's mark can teleport teammates to the position 5 minutes ago, and just wait another 5 minutes, and teammates can appear in front of them instantly.The three of them hid aside anxiously and waited for time...

Five minutes passed quickly, and Xiao Lou and his party, who had transformed into mermaids, appeared in front of them.

At this time, the invisibility cloaks of Liu Qiao and the others had lost their effect.Xiao Lou walked up to Lao Mo and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that Xiao Lou No. 5 entered the door on the left?"

Lao Mo nodded: "Yes."

Xiao Lou said: "Let's go to the right."

Liu Qiao was startled, and asked in confusion, "Why did he go to the right? Didn't he go to the left?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly, looked at Liu Qiao and said, "He's a replicant, he's a fake, and of course he went to a fake place. Maybe he has discovered you just now and wants to deliberately lure you into the bait."

Liu Qiao suddenly realized: "It makes sense."

As soon as Xiao Lou finished speaking, Yu Hanjiang quickly arrived at the door of the secret room on the right.

There is a graphic mechanism on the door, and Lao Mo said: "It should be a fish bone. The floor plan of this maze is very similar to a fish bone."

Yu Hanjiang drew fish bones on the platter with his fingers, and the door opened.

He looked around warily, then walked quickly into the room——

The pictures inside the house are shocking. One after another, coffin-sized glass containers are filled with light blue liquid, and there are one after another human "specimens" lying in those liquids. Lou, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci...

Seeing so many "replicas of myself" suddenly appearing in the laboratory, and all of them lying in the strange nutrient solution, Ye Qi couldn't help but shudder: "I will definitely have nightmares in the future!"

At this moment, a vessel in the laboratory suddenly began to shake violently.

I saw a girl crawling out of a "transparent coffin". Her body was covered with a strange blue liquid, her hair was sticky, her skin was soaked in nutrient solution and dehydrated, and she was in a terrible state...

She and Liu Qiao have exactly the same face!

Liu Qiao took a step back in horror: "She...is she my clone? When was I copied too? And...she was raised to be an 18-year-old girl like me!"

Liu Qiao, who was covered in nutrient solution, looked at her coldly. Her voice was a little hoarse due to soaking in the nutrient solution for too long, but her tone of voice was extremely calm: "You are the replicant."

Liu Qiao looked at Xiao Lou for help: "Professor Xiao, she actually wants to confuse the real with the fake?"

Xiao Lou immediately connected with Liu Qiao, and asked on the spiritual channel: "Have you read the Chinese medicine materials on the 23rd floor of the library of the medical school?"

Liu Qiao, who was in a panic, was taken aback for a moment, and quickly replied: "The library of our medical school does not have a 23rd floor at all, the highest is only 12 floors, and the books on Chinese medicine are all on the 6th floor."

Xiao Lou resolutely said: "Take her, get out!"

The next moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly used a white silk card to tie Liu Qiao beside Xiao Lou into a rice dumpling. Immediately afterwards, everyone disappeared in the mermaid palace and appeared under the peach blossom tree.

——Tale of the Peach Blossom Spring, collective transmission.

Both Liu Qiao came to Taohuayuan, but one was in a mess, while the other was neatly dressed.

Xiao Lou took the initiative to take off his coat and put it on Liu Qiao. Liu Qiao glanced at him and said gratefully: "Professor Xiao, I didn't expect you to find me so soon."

Liu Qiao, who was neatly dressed, said with a pale face, "What do you mean? Do you believe her and not me?"

"I knew you were a fake. You fell into my language trap but didn't realize it. There is no 23rd floor in the library of the medical school." Xiao Lou looked back at the girl in front of him, his eyes lost the usual gentleness , said calmly, "The reason for this scene in front of you is that we want to rescue the real Liu Qiao as soon as possible."

Yu Hanjiang's eyes were sharp: "You cooperate with No. 5 Xiao Lou to lead us to the palace, and you want to destroy us at the bottom of the sea, right?"

The author has something to say:

There are still some places to explain in the next chapter, okay!

Professor Xiao's language traps have always been very 6, such as the question "Did the doctor ask you to drink bone soup to supplement calcium" in the secret room of the entertainment circle, but in fact bone soup does not supplement calcium at all :)

There is no 23rd floor in the medical school, and the fake Liu Qiao has been tricked.
