The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

What Yu Hanjiang said was just a test.

Calculating from the time, the dark alley had trapped them for more than two and a half hours, and Xiaolou's full-level S card Tao Yuanming, Taohuayuan existed for only three hours.The same domain card, with different functions, but the duration should be about the same.

What's more, they deliberately showed weakness at that time. When chatting with Xiao Lou, he revealed that the situation where the cards had been used up and the situation was very pessimistic was the best time for hunters to act.

What Yu Hanjiang didn't expect was that this hunter was very good at making insidious tricks, using all kinds of illusions to confuse them, but his expression management ability was very poor, his actual combat ability was only above average, and his agility It can't be compared with a policeman like Yu Hanjiang.

He has interrogated so many criminal suspects, it is easy to judge whether the other party is lying or not from the subtle expression changes.It was just a psychological attack just now, and when I asked tentatively, the other party actually exposed it directly...

This was an unexpected surprise.

Xiao Lou looked at Zuiyue Lake in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is the hunter a girl?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "She should have used a special group attack card in the end. All the girls holding umbrellas look exactly like her, and they will spread out to attack us according to her will. Her real weapon is the red oil-paper umbrella."

Long Sen scratched his head and said, "This girl only looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. If Team Yu hadn't made a provocative statement and quickly found out her real body, we might really fall into her hands." .”

Lao Mo sighed with a complicated expression: "She is about the same age as my daughter, how could she become a hunter?"

Liu Qiao said solemnly: "This girl has a lot of weird cards in her hand. Just now, Captain Yu just cut her hand. If there is a healing card, she will be cured soon. It is possible to meet her again. Another hallucination attack, we may not be able to hold on."

"Fortunately, the cooling time of domain cards is generally 24 hours, so there is no need to worry about being locked into a dark alley by her for the time being. Next, everyone be careful." Xiao Lou looked forward and said, "Continue to investigate."

At first, everyone thought that the route of the maze had changed.It was later confirmed that the alley was actually a closed card space. They were not locked in a maze, but were locked into an independent field by the hunters.

Lao Mo looked at the lake in front of him, walked a few steps according to the path in his memory, and said pleasantly: "The maze has not changed, it is still the path of the honeycomb maze last night. There are a total of six roads around Zuiyue Lake, extending out with many bends. The road is basically the same as the one drawn on my map."

Liu Qiao was stunned, then shrugged and said, "Okay. It seems that I misunderstood the gatekeeper of the square piece. The little square piece is not as perverted as imagined, and won't change the maze every day to embarrass us."

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "If you change one a day, Lao Mo's head will explode, right?"

Old Mo said: "Yeah, just finding the way is a big headache."

Xiao Loudao: "Since it's still the maze from last night, let's look for the Zhao family and the Chen family first."

According to Lao Mo's map, the group quickly found the Zhao family.

They saw the scene of the bride getting married here last night. When they came to the door of Zhao's house tonight, they found that the door was open and the yard was lit with bright red lanterns. The whole yard was decorated very festively.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and sneaked in.

The yard was brightly lit. A middle-aged couple was wearing red clothes and standing in the center of the yard. Their eyes were always looking at the gate, as if they were watching someone go away.

After a while, the woman wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a choked voice, "We, Ze'an, were spoiled and spoiled since we were young, and married to a place as far away as Yuezhou, what if we are not used to it..."

The man patted her on the shoulder lightly, and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry about it. Boys should get married, and girls should get married. From my point of view, Xiao Ming is quite a person, and he has a deep affection for Ze'an, our family. I won't treat her badly."

The woman reluctantly nodded and said, "I hope so."

At this moment, a girl in a pink dress sneaked past the two of them. Hearing her footsteps, the man said calmly, "Sui Sui, it's midnight, where are you going?"

The girl stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Father, my sister is married, I can't bear her, I want to send her off outside the city, and say a few words to her."

The man frowned and said, "It's so late, you're a girl, it's not safe to go out."

Zhao Zesui walked up to his father and said, "I have something very important to give to my sister. I was too hasty just now, so I forgot! Father, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go!" After she finished speaking, regardless of her father's obstruction, Quickly ran out the door.

The man was stunned, and said helplessly, "This child is really spoiled by you!"

The woman said with a smile: "There are so many people sending off their relatives, it's okay, she also said to go and come back."

The girl passed by Xiao Lou, and Yu Hanjiang reached out to grab her like lightning, but it was in vain.

Her body was like a ball of air, and Yu Hanjiang's hand passed directly through her shoulder, and the girl, as well as her parents, turned a blind eye to Xiao Lou and his party, as if Xiao Lou and the others didn't exist at all.

Xiao Lou wondered, "An illusion again?"

Yu Hanjiang looked at the girl's back, and said seriously: "It should be a reappearance of the scene. Last night, we saw Zhao Ze'an getting married, and tonight is the story that happened in Zhao's house after she got married. These are all three years ago, on July [-]th. One night, the scene on the day of the incident."

Xiao Lou winked at Longsen and Qu Wanyue: "Follow her and be careful."

Long Qu and the two immediately used the chameleon card to blend with the floor, and quickly followed the Fourth Miss Zhao Zesui who ran out.

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Lao Mo, Xiao Liu, put on the invisibility cloak and go to Chen's house to have a look, maybe there will be a follow-up plot."

Lao Mo and Liu Qiao nodded, turned and went out.

The six were divided into three groups to continue tracking.Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang followed the Zhao family couple into the yard.

At this time, the second lady's send-off team had already left Zhao's house, and the guests had also dispersed.

The Zhao family couple went back to the house and prepared to rest. At this moment, there was a regular "dong dong" sound from the backyard. The sound was like a rattle, but it was not as crisp as the rattle heard before.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang walked forward in the direction of the sound, and soon, they came to the most secluded courtyard—that was the place where the elders of the Zhao family confirmed during their investigation during the day. There are many transcribed scriptures.

The sound of thumping was coming from inside the house.

Yu Hanjiang came to the door in two or three steps, poked a hole in the paper window with his fingers, squinted his eyes and looked in——

I saw a gray-haired old lady kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, twirling a long string of beads with her right hand, and beating the wooden fish with her left hand regularly. She was wearing a navy blue robe like a nun, with her eyes closed and her face dull. .

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice: "The granddaughter is married, and she is chanting sutras here, is she praying for her granddaughter, or is she using this method of repentance to wash away the sins of the descendants of the Zhao family?"

Xiao Loudao: "If the murderer's motive for destroying the Zhao family was revenge, then the ancestors of the Zhao family must have done some bad things back then. For example, during the famine, they raised human animals in captivity and survived by eating human flesh? If this speculation is true, The old lady of the Zhao family can also get a reasonable explanation for copying scriptures, eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddhist scriptures."

Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: "Well, she feels that she has committed a lot of sins, so she has been a vegetarian and recited scriptures all these years after the famine passed, so we found many hand-copied scriptures in her room."

As soon as I said this, suddenly, the lights in the house went out, and the sound of the wooden fish stopped abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, all the red lanterns in the entire Zhao family's courtyard were extinguished. Xiao Lou thought that the murderer had arrived, and immediately turned to look outside the door vigilantly, but the next moment, a pair of old and thin hands suddenly stretched out from the room behind him. , poked a big hole in the window made of paper, and accurately and fiercely grabbed Xiao Lou's neck!

Xiao Lou's neck was strangled, he couldn't catch his breath, and his face turned red.

The heavy feeling in his chest made him dizzy.

The cold touch of those thin and old hands passed through the skin to his mind, Xiao Lou felt as if he was being entangled by a poisonous snake, and the pressure on his neck became more and more intense, making him unable to breathe at all.

When Yu Hanjiang saw this scene, he was about to burst into tears. He had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he grabbed the old lady's wrist like lightning, and twisted it hard in the opposite direction—only the crisp sound of bones being broken rang in his ears, followed by, The old lady's hand suddenly disappeared, but Xiao Lou's fair neck left bright fingerprints.

The oppressive feeling in his chest finally disappeared. Xiao Lou recovered his breath and coughed desperately to adjust his breathing. Yu Hanjiang gently ran his hands along his back and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Lou coughed and shook his head: "It's okay."

Yu Hanjiang: "Why did this old lady suddenly attack you?"

Xiao Lou: "The old lady is not an illusion, she may be a hunter. Let's get out of here quickly."

Just as the two of them were about to move forward, a large number of dense traps suddenly appeared under their feet. Those traps, like animal traps, were about to trap their feet. Yu Hanjiang reacted very quickly. The Qinggong card flew up and landed on the roof like a big bird!

However, as soon as he landed on the eaves with Xiao Lou, dense arrows shot at them like a torrential rain!

At the same time a huge net fell from above their heads.

——It was another catch in a urn.

The hunters had already guessed that they would come to Zhao's house to investigate, and set up traps in advance.

Xiao Lou was nervous. The moment he saw the rain of arrows and the giant net, he summoned Li Qingzhao as a reflex, and his "slow voice" skill slowed down the speed of all sharp arrows.

The overwhelming rain of arrows is like a slow-motion movie in a movie.

Yu Hanjiang cooperated tacitly, swung his right hand violently, and chopped off all the sharp arrows that were about to hit Xiao Lou's nose. mouth.

While Li Qingzhao was reading the poem "Slow Voice", the two escaped from the rain of arrows without any danger.

Yu Hanjiang led Xiao Lou up and down continuously, flying over the roofs of the small town.

I don't know how long it took, the two came to the lake, but the hunter didn't seem to catch up with them.Xiao Lou glanced back, still in shock, exhaled lightly, and immediately pressed the headset and said, "Everyone, be careful, the ghost town at night is full of hunters, they know the place we want to investigate, and they have arranged an ambush in advance!"

Qu Wanyue's voice came quickly: "Professor Xiao, are you all right?"

Xiao Loudao: "It's okay. Be careful, and come to Zuiyue Lake as soon as possible to meet us."

Qu Wanyue said: "Long Sen and I followed Zhao Zesui to the gate of the town, and she disappeared as soon as we left the town. Is it because only the town is a ghost town at night, and you can't see her when you leave the town?"

Last night's wedding party also disappeared after leaving the town, which shows that Qu Wanyue's speculation is reasonable.At night, only the town is a ghost town, and some scenes can be reproduced. After leaving the town, they can't see the plot three years ago.

Yu Hanjiang said: "You guys come back first. Where is Xiao Liu?"

Liu Qiaodao: "Mrs. Chen was too tired to fall asleep after giving birth to the child. The child also fell asleep after looking for a nanny to feed her. The midwife has already left, and the maids and servants have been busy for most of the night, and they all fell asleep. But Chen Yu, He suddenly left the house in a hurry, and sneaked out of the town, we followed him all the way, just like Sister Qu said, he disappeared after leaving the town."

Xiao Lou nodded and said, "Okay, I see. Come back and meet up first, and I'll pull you with a marker."

After he and Yu Hanjiang came to the edge of Zuiyue Lake, they put down Li Qingzhao's marker, and 5 minutes passed quickly, just enough to pull his teammates directly to his side.

The six checked the clues they found.

In the end, Xiao Lou came to the conclusion: "The town at night is a maze of ghost towns, which is equivalent to an independent copy, with a large number of hunters. Many scenes we saw were illusions, which may be left behind by the obsession of the dead. The memory fragments and fragments of past events can provide us with some ideas to solve the puzzle. But the limitation is that we have no way of knowing what happened after they left the town. As soon as they leave the town, the phantom will disappear."

Old Mo said: "Besides, we seem to be unable to get out of the town at night. We couldn't find the exit at all last night, but we can find the exit tonight, but there seems to be a transparent barrier at the door, sealing us in here."

Yu Hanjiang looked at the time and said, "We have been in the ghost city for more than four hours. According to the time, it is almost dawn. Mr. Shao has not turned on the teleportation. Will something happen?"

Xiao Lou frowned worriedly: "Ninth brother has been unable to contact..."

Old Mo's eyes were also full of worry: "If Mr. Shao doesn't use Taohuayuan to send us out, we can't find the exit in this ghost town maze at night, and there is an enchantment outside the town that can't get out. Moreover, we tried last night, there is no It will be dawn."

I still remember that it was dawn when Lu Jiuchuan and others were outside the town last night, but it was always dark inside the town. Lao Mo's worry was not unreasonable - without the Taohuayuan forcibly teleporting, they might not be able to get out of the ghost town at night.

But now, Shao Qingge and Lu Jiuchuan have lost contact, and Xiao Lou has no way of judging the situation outside, let alone let Shao Qingge open the teleportation.

Long Sen scratched his head and said, "Are we going to be stuck here forever?"

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "It doesn't mean there is no exit. Although the square girl is abnormal, all the mazes she encountered before will leave exits. A maze without an exit has no correct path, just like an exam question without an answer. "

Xiao Lou nodded: "It makes sense. Let's look for it again."
