The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The sun gradually went down, and the bustling town became quieter.

Maybe it's because the legend of "ghosts claim their lives" is too scary, and people have been missing in the town these years, so no matter the old people or children, they will rush home before it is completely dark, and close the gate tightly. close.

The liveliness and peace during the day seemed to be just an illusion. At night, the residents all looked tense and alert, and the streets of the entire town became empty, like a ghost city.

The waiter at the inn where Xiao Lou and the others stayed also kindly came to tell them: "Guest officer, we can't go out after dark in our small town. The door of the inn has been locked. If you have any orders, you can call me directly."

Xiao Lou thanked him politely and sent the waiter away.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the last ray of light disappeared as the sun set.

Night has fallen.

Xiao Lou held his breath, opened a gap in the window, and listened carefully to the movement outside—it was so quiet that a needle could be heard outside the window, not to mention human voices, not even the barking of birds, pigs and dogs.The empty town is shrouded in a gentle moonlight, and the black shadows cast by the branches on the roadside are like devils with teeth and claws.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and shut Xiao Lou's open window with a "bang".

The sound seemed to be amplified several times in the silent night, and it rang in his ears like a thunderstorm. Xiao Lou was startled. He tried to open the window again, but found that the window seemed to be locked from the outside by a strange force, and he couldn't open it at all. .

Seeing Xiao Lou pushing the window hard, Yu Hanjiang's expression changed, and he walked quickly to his side: "What's going on?"

Xiao Loudao: "Suddenly the window cannot be opened."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou pushed the window hard together, however, the harder he pushed, the stronger the force outside sealed the window, as if there was a magical force interacting with his pushing and canceling each other out.

Yu Hanjiang's frown became tighter and tighter.With his arm strength, it is not difficult to smash the wooden window, let alone push it open.The window was fine just now, how could it suddenly fail to open when the wind blows?Sensing that something was wrong, Yu Hanjiang immediately grabbed Xiao Lou's wrist, turned around quickly and came to the door: "Let's go!"

He stretched out his long legs and kicked hard at the door, but the door couldn't be opened either.

The two of them obviously didn't lock the door after seeing off the shop waiter just now.

Yu Hanjiang signaled Xiao Lou to take a step back with his eyes, then took out the night demon saber, and slashed at the door——

The wooden doors and windows, under the cutting edge of the iron like mud, unexpectedly remained motionless, as if sealed by a magical force!

Xiao Lou couldn't help turning pale: "Are we trapped in this room?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Try to contact other people."

Xiao Lou pressed the voice headset in his ear, and asked hastily, "Can anyone hear me?"

There is no response in the earphones, and it is extremely quiet.

Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice: "Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, are they all there?!"

Still no sound.

A trace of strong anxiety rose in Xiao Lou's heart: "A hunter?"

The situation at this time reminded him of the mermaid maze in the Q level. In the hand of "Copy No. 5 Xiao Lou", there was a card called "Card Magnetic Field Shield", which could shield all cards in a large area.But the strange thing is that when they dragged that person into the Peach Blossom Spring and burned him to death, they didn't find that card on him.

Xiao Lou believed that the man had destroyed the card on his own initiative.

Regarding the source and whereabouts of the hunter's cards, they have too little information, and it is indeed difficult to trace, so this matter can only be left alone.

But now, the situation where the card becomes invalid actually reappeared.

If it is a forbidden card area, the floating box will pop up a prompt of "Cards are banned in the current scene".If there is no prompt and the team headset fails, then someone must have used other cards to suppress the effect of the cards in Xiao Lou's hand.

— Definitely a hunter.

Although Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou didn't have a tacit understanding, one look was enough for each other to understand the meaning.

At this moment, countless dense hairs suddenly came in through the gap between the window and the door.Those hairs swept towards Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou like conscious tentacles!

Xiao Lou's face suddenly changed.

They stood in the middle of the house, and their hair poured in from the windows and doors like a tide. The two of them were surrounded by hair within 3 seconds, and there was no way out.

Seeing that the hair was about to wrap around Xiao Lou's neck, Yu Hanjiang pulled hard with his left hand, half-embraced Xiao Lou in his arms, and jumped up. At the same time, he picked up a sharp saber with his right hand, and slashed at the hair!

The hair should be broken by the blade.

But these hairs are so capable of growing that cutting them off doesn't make a difference.

The broken hair fell all over the floor, but the remaining hair continued to spread and grow around. More and more hair poured in through the cracks in the door and windows, and there was almost no place to stay on the ground.Yu Hanjiang looked at the long hair surrounding him in all directions, frowned, and while slashing quickly with his saber, he tried to break through the secret room.

Xiao Lou's mind was spinning quickly - the current scene is very similar to the "card magnetic field shielding", Yu Hanjiang's saber can be used, because this card is an equipment card and does not have any skills.The invalid "Talk of Heart", "Team Headphones", etc., all belong to the "skill" card.

Fortunately, Xiao Lou remembered very clearly that the magnetic field shielding card he encountered at that time only lasted 5 minutes, and they specially asked Ye Qi to play the flute for an experiment.

Fortunately, I was more careful at the time and confirmed the specific duration of the hunter card.

Xiao Lou whispered: "Hold on for 5 minutes, if I guess right, it's that magnetic field shielding card again!"

Yu Hanjiang nodded, and he led Xiao Lou back while chopping the messy hair with a sharp knife. He quickly retreated to the wall and leaned his back against the wall, so that he only had to face the hair in the front, left, and right directions, and he didn't have to worry about them sneaking up from behind. .

The man's handsome face was full of murderous aura, and the surrounding hair was annoying. The speed of the hair was getting faster and faster, but Yu Hanjiang's knife was also getting faster and faster!

For a moment, the snow-white sword light waved around Yu Hanjiang impenetrably.

He insisted on using the sharp light of the knife to envelop himself and Xiao Lou, so that those hairs couldn't get close at all!

Xiao Lou knew very well that once these hairs were curled around their necks, they would be strangled to death soon. 5 minutes sounds like a short period of time, but it is longer than a century when there is a possibility of death at any time.

Xiao Lou was worried about disturbing Yu Hanjiang's movements, so he didn't speak any more, and stayed beside Yu Hanjiang quietly.

The man's eyes were deep, and the knife in his hand was as fast as lightning. He cut as many hairs as he wanted. The mechanical movements lasted for a long time. The muscles on his arms were always tense, and he didn't seem to feel tired at all.

Suddenly, Liu Qiao's voice came from Xiao Lou's earphones: "Professor Xiao? Can you hear me?"

As soon as Xiao Lou heard Xiao Liu's voice, he knew that the crisis of card shielding was temporarily lifted. Before he had time to answer, the hair around him seemed to have received some orders, and suddenly scattered like an ebb tide.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked around.

The hair that fell to the ground after being chopped off just now was gone.

He went to the window and pushed it hard—the window was pushed open easily.

Imprisonment lifted.It was pitch black outside the window, the cold moon hung high in the sky, and it was as quiet as if nothing had happened.

Yu Hanjiang sternly said: "Sneaky, get out!"

"Hahahaha." A young woman's silvery laughter came from not far away. In the silent night, that laughter was surprisingly weird.Yu Hanjiang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. A white figure flashed across his field of vision.

The man was wearing a long white dress of an ancient woman.With wide sleeves and light gauze, disheveled hair, red lips like blood, her whereabouts are erratic, exactly the same as the legend of "a ghost takes his life" mentioned by Tang Ci during the day...

Xiao Lou said with a sullen face: "It seems that the so-called ghosts are actually hunters who sneaked into this world?"

Yu Hanjiang pressed the headset and asked, "Is everyone okay? Tell me about what happened just now."

Qu Wanyue's voice came from next to my ear, trembling slightly: "Just now, the doors and windows were suddenly locked and we couldn't get out. We realized something was wrong, so we quickly used chameleon cards to integrate with the wall, and then saw a lot of hair pouring in! "

Long Sen sighed: "Fortunately, Wanyue reacted quickly enough. Those hairs are really disgusting. They can keep growing and spreading, and soon fill up the whole room. They didn't realize where we were, and they just dispersed by themselves!"

The couple really reacted quickly enough and went directly to the wall when they encountered danger.

Xiao Lou asked, "Where are Lao Mo and Xiao Liu?"

Liu Qiao said: "Our situation is similar. The doors and windows were blocked, and a lot of hair suddenly attacked us. My card skills can't be used. Uncle Mo made a quick wit and built a seamless secret room with marble bricks. We hid in it. Part the hair."

Lao Mo's marble tiles and wooden floor are tool cards, which can be used just like Yu Hanjiang's knife.Being locked in the secret room, he made a smaller marble secret room and retracted into the "turtle shell" to protect himself, which was smart.

His teammates are all fine, Xiao Lou finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Mo said: "Just now, I also heard the voice of Team Yu. Is there a hunter haunting the dungeon at night?"

Liu Qiao frowned and said, "Is the card in his hand the [card magnetic field shielding] we encountered in level Q? All my cards just now can't be used."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes."

Liu Qiao asked puzzledly: "But if I remember correctly, the magnetic field shielding of the card will shield all skill cards within the range, right? Why can that hunter continue to attack us with his hair?"

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Maybe it's not her card, but her own skills."

"Bring your own skills?" Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "Her identity in this secret room is a ghost? Can she seal us with a seal, and attack the target with growing hair?!"

"That's right." Xiao Lou's face was a bit ugly, and he whispered: "The hunter may choose his own identity, choose a ghost, and kill us in the dungeon of the ghost city at night, the success rate will be higher."

The woman in white just now can not only attack Xiao Lou and his party with her hair, but also her movements are erratic, which is equivalent to her own teleportation skills.The white ghost disappeared in a blink of an eye, and it must be difficult to catch her.

There are such hunters in the dungeon at night, no wonder the gatekeeper wants them to "live" when they enter the secret room!

Xiao Lou was startled, and suddenly said, "Ninth Brother? Xiaoye? Can you hear me?"

Everyone discussed for a long time, but none of the six teammates outside the town interrupted.

With Brother Nine's temper, he would definitely scold "fuck" when he heard this, but with Xiaoye's personality, when everyone was discussing, he would definitely say whatever came to his mind, it was impossible to be so quiet.

Yu Hanjiang sensed something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I heard the answer."

There was no response from the earphones, and the silence was worryingly quiet.

The card's magnetic field shielding has expired for 5 minutes, so it stands to reason that team communication can now be used as usual.

Why do people who stay outside the town lose contact?

Could it be that Brother Jiu and the others are also in trouble?
