The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Late at night is when the mermaids are most active.

Some mermaids went out to sea to hunt, and many tribesmen walked back and forth in the palace.Fortunately, Lao Mo and Gui Yuanzhang had figured out the structure of the maze before. With the help of various displacement cards, everyone quickly shuttled through the palace, avoiding all the guards patrolling the road without any danger.

Under the leadership of Lao Mo, everyone took a shortcut and soon came to the residence of the mermaid elder.

Karen Geer, a nearly hundred-year-old mermaid elder, has curly golden hair and eyes as blue as the sky.

The moment the door was opened, everyone found that he was sitting on a shell-shaped sofa, his eyes were so wide open that the eyeballs almost fell out.Seeing this scene, Yu Hanjiang sensed that something was wrong. He rushed over, stretched out his hand to check the opponent's breath, turned his head and said to his teammates in a deep voice: "Dead, he just died not long ago."

Gui Yuanzhang frowned: "...was it silenced by No. 5 Xiao Lou?"

Xiao Lou walked over to quickly inspect his body, and concluded: "The neck was strangled, and there were obvious bruises. It should be someone who walked around behind him and suddenly moved his hand. He was defenseless and too aggressive. If you are surprised, you will die with regret."

Previously, everyone speculated that the elder of the mermaids, Karen Geer, liked doing genetic experiments the most. He bred many deep-sea fish that the mermaids could eat.

Xiao Lou looked around the room, and sure enough, he found that there was a laboratory next to his living room, in which many strange fish and shrimp were raised.If he doesn't die, everyone is still not sure whether he is related to the replicator plan, and now he has been silenced-naturally, everyone's guess is confirmed.

Liu Qiaodao: "This elder has always been very low-key in our mermaid clan, but because he has bred many delicious fish and shrimp and made food for us, the clan respects him very much."

Yu Hanjiang folded his arms around his chest, looked at the scene of the crime, and analyzed: "20 years ago, this elder accidentally passed by the Egret starship, and found that many people died in the starship, but how many people survived in the deep sea environment?" The batch of replicants at that time did not have human consciousness, and some replicants might still be in the petri dish, so the curious elders brought them back secretly, and brought back the information of the Noah's Ark project Continue to study."

Xiao Loudao: "He has developed version 2.0 of the clone, which incorporates the mermaid gene on the basis of the original clone. It can be said that Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi who are currently appearing in the Mermaid Palace and have self-awareness , are all version 2.0 cultivated by him.”

Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help cursing: "As a result, this version 2.0 of Xiao Lou actually killed the person who raised him with his own hands?!"

Shao Qingge squinted his eyes and said: "The hunters are always inhumane. There must be a problem with the cooperation between the fake Liu Qiao and the fake Xiao Lou. He realized that the plan failed, so he killed Karen Geer, the only person who knew the truth. people."

The replicator project is obviously a secret research, and there are not many insiders.Now that the researcher is dead, there will naturally be no proof—no one can explain the real origin of Xiao Lou, the mermaid prince, and this method of destroying evidence is really clever.

Obviously, the 2.0 version of Xiao Lou in the palace is much smarter than the copy Liu Qiao who stays by everyone's side.

Liu Qiao suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned around: "Oops, let's run!"

Xiao Lou also thought of this, everyone turned around, and was about to leave the elder's residence, but just took a step out of the door, and saw "Xiao Lou" in a white dress standing in front with a smile, beside him was a member of the mermaid tribe. His Majesty, as well as hundreds of mermaid guards, all of them had weapons in their hands.

This "catch a thief" posture is really full of aura.

Almost the moment the fake Xiao Lou appeared, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi who were walking at the end immediately hid themselves with invisibility cloaks, leaving only Liu Qiao, Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo Three members of the mermaid clan.

Na Xiao Lou glanced around, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Liu Qiao and said, "Sister, what are you doing with Elder Gui and Mr. Mo at Elder Karen's residence?"

Liu Qiao looked at him coldly and didn't reply.

"Xiao Lou" whispered to the guard beside him: "Go into the house and have a look."

"Yes, Your Highness." The two guards walked into the elder's room, and quickly retreated in horror, their voices trembling with fright, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Elder Karen was, was killed!"

"What?" Xiao Lou was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly followed several guards into the room.

After a few seconds, he returned to the position just now, pointed at Liu Qiao in disbelief and said, "Elder Karen watched you grow up, he is half of your master, and you actually did such a rebellious thing! "

His Majesty, who was nearly a hundred years old, also looked at Liu Qiao suspiciously: "Why did you kill Elder Karen?"

Liu Qiao's face was calm: "Father, I didn't kill it."

"Xiao Lou" frowned: "You still want to argue? The mermaid princess also has the right to inherit the throne. I know you have been dissatisfied with me all these years, but you shouldn't have killed Elder Karen! Liu Qiao, you let me down too much." Already!"

"..." Liu Qiao was speechless, she really wanted to give the hunter in front of her a five-star praise - her acting skills are comparable to the actor's, and she can switch between the mild version, the serious version, and the villain, what kind of hunter should she be?Isn't it good to go to the entertainment industry?

"Xiao Lou" put on a heartbroken look, and said, "Come on, take it down for me!"

At this time, "Xiao Lou" is still the prince of the mermaid tribe, and the guards around him must listen to him of course.

A group of guards surrounded him in unison, pointing their sharp weapons at Liu Qiao.

Liu Qiao didn't resist, she stood where she was, looked at the gray-haired old man in front of her, and asked calmly, "Father, do you remember what Elder Karen said when he told you that Xiao Lou was your son? You've never had any doubts about his identity?"

His Majesty thought for a while, and said: "He said that Xiao Lou is my illegitimate son living abroad. I asked him to do a genetic test, and Xiao Lou has a silver-white fish tail that only mermaids with the purest blood can grow. Can't go wrong."

At this moment, the replicas of Shao Qingge and Ye Qi also appeared in front of them.

These two are friends of Prince Xiao Lou in the mermaid clan, and the three replicants grew up together.

"Shao Qingge" took the initiative to stand up and testify: "The reason why the princess killed Elder Karen was because Elder Karen found the wandering prince and brought him back to raise him. She has always held a grudge these years."

"Ye Qi" echoed at the side: "Since she was a child, she has disliked this brother who suddenly appeared. Now that she kills Elder Karen, the next one to kill must be His Royal Highness. Fortunately, our Highness has always regarded her as a relative." Sister, what a wolfish ambition!"

"Shao Qingge" squinted his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the first rule of our mermaid tribe is to prohibit the tribe from killing each other. These three people have violated a big taboo, so they must be dealt with according to the family rules!"

The real Shao Qingge and Ye Qi: "..."

Seeing someone who is exactly like him acting in front of him is not an experience that ordinary people can experience, Ye Qi wanted to complain - please don't look so excited, please?I'm not used to seeing him perform hard with his own face.On the contrary, the copied version of Shao Qingge can imitate some of the charm of the real Mr. Shao, squinting his eyes and smiling, but at first glance he looks quite similar.

"Xiao Lou" glanced at the surrounding guards: "Why are you still hesitating? Take them down!"

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from everyone's ears: "Wait."

This voice is exactly the same as that of Prince Xiao Lou...

Everyone looked back together, only to see another Xiao Lou walking out of Elder Karen's room, who was as graceful as the Prince Xiao Lou in front of him.There was no smile on his face, his eyes were clear and calm, staring straight at Xiao Lou in front of him.

Xiao Lou and Xiao Lou's eyes met.

Guards: "???"

what's the situation?Two same Highnesses? !

No. 5 raised his eyebrows and said, "Liu Qiao, where did you find someone like me? Do you want to kill Elder Karen, kill me, and then let this person replace me and give way to you? Your abacus is really clever."

Xiao Lou looked at him with a smile: "Have you acted enough? Duplicant."

Number 5: "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Lou walked in front of His Majesty: "Father, I am the real prince. As for these three..." He glanced at Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi, "Elder Karen used the Noah's Ark plan developed a replica."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhen Shao Qingge and Zhen Yeqi also came to his side.

The guards around were stunned.

His Majesty was also horrified: "This, why do they all look the same?!"

Xiao Lou looked at No. 5 in front of him: "Mermaids with pure blood must have silver fish tails, right?"

No. 5 said indifferently: "Everyone knows this."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Then we just need to see who has a silver-white tail, and whoever is the real prince."

No. 5 was taken aback for a moment—this Xiao Lou's tail was obviously blue, and the copy Liu Qiao had already reported to him, how dare he openly compare the mermaid blood?Isn't this suicidal?

Is it...

The next moment, Xiao Lou suddenly jumped and swam nimbly to the vast sea at the top of the palace.

A beautiful silver-white tail dragged behind him, the tail was 2 meters long, and every scale on it shone with a soft and lustrous luster. The silver was dazzling, like a light suddenly shining in the deep sea—— —That is the symbol of the purest blood that the mermaid clan has admired for generations!

His Majesty couldn't believe it: "This, this is the real prince?"

Standing in the palace, Xiao Lou No. 5's face was pale.

Xiao Lou quickly swam around the palace, and when he returned to the original place, he transformed into slender legs, walked up to His Majesty, with a gentle smile on his face, and ordered around: "Take These three impostors!"

Before the guards did anything, the eight teammates had already heard the sound——

A cold light flashed in Liu Qiao's hand, and the Thumbelina card activated. Before Xiao Lou No. 5 could react, she instantly shrank and put it into a bottle!

Lu Jiuchuan also had a duplicated Thumbelina card in his hand, and took away Shao Qingge in the same way; the rest of Ye Qi was controlled by Ye Qi himself. When he blew the flute, the soft melody sounded, and the other party immediately fell into a trap. Drowsy, Yu Hanjiang rushed over like lightning, and knocked fake Ye Qi unconscious with a knife in his hand!

The surrounding guards were stunned... What should we do?Is it okay to watch a play?

Xiao Lou seriously explained: "Father, these people sneaked into the palace just to disturb our mermaid clan. Let Liu Qiao explain the specific situation to you later..."

His Majesty the Mermaid was invited back to the palace by Xiao Lou and others in a daze.

As soon as the gate was closed, Liu Qiao began to patiently tell His Majesty the whole story. Of course, she deliberately omitted words such as challenger and hunter, and only said that the three counterfeit people were aliens who mixed in with the mermaid clan to make trouble. Elder Karen was their accomplice.

After all, with the real evidence in front of him, His Majesty was quickly persuaded.

Xiao Lou and others took the three hunters to the side hall.

Xiao Lou No. 5, who was locked in the bottle, had a cold expression on his face. He never expected that the plot at the last moment would not go according to his arrangement, and such a strange reversal would happen!

He gritted his teeth: "Why doesn't my card shield work?"

Xiao Lou looked at him in the bottle, and said calmly: "Your card is too much of a threat to us. If you turn on the card skill shield, we will lose our status of transforming into mermaids and turn back to ordinary humans. We are in the deep sea. Wouldn't it be possible to survive for 3 seconds and be slaughtered by others?"

Xiao Lou No. 5 suddenly reacted: "So..."

Old Mo said: "I have a [Nightmare] card in my hand, which can mark a person in advance and make this person lose all their skills at night. You found us at that time and deliberately pointed us to the wrong way. We followed you, not I took the bait, but to mark you with a nightmare card, so that you can't use your skills tonight."

Xiaolou No. 5: "..."

No wonder, when he wanted to open the shield just now, he found that his card was actually invalid.

This group of people is really scheming, and they have planned everything so well.

Does the tail still need to ask?It was definitely dyed by Lao Mo's dyeing card!

Xiao Lou said seriously: "By the way, Lao Mo's dyeing card, the formula for mixing silver is 95% white pigment, 4% black, and 1% blue. My tail is naturally dyed with pigment. Silver tail It symbolizes the pure blood of the mermaids, and we took advantage of this setting—to confuse the real with the fake, and we will too.”

Xiaolou No. 5: "..."

Why are these people more like villains? !
