The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Yu Hanjiang just asked Liu Qiao to find a place as soon as possible, put down Li Qingzhao's mark and take his teammates out.

Liu Qiao jumped all the way through the treetops. Although she was wearing an invisibility cloak, the qinggong card had to find a landing point every few seconds, and her toes would still leave shaking marks when she stepped on the treetops.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked out of the yard, she alarmed the hunters who were ambushing in the yard. The group of people followed the direction of the treetops shaking and quickly chased after her.

Liu Qiao could feel several people following her behind her.

The light of the knife flashing on the right, the wind behind him, and the black shadow elongated by the moonlight on the ground...

There are at least three people.

Liu Qiao's heart beat as fast as a drum, and her breathing was a little short, but her mind was extremely calm. 1V3, there can be no mistakes.She took a deep breath, speeded up, and just jumped a few meters away, suddenly a huge net fell from the sky in front of her!

Not knowing which hunter played the card, Liu Qiao hurriedly dodged sideways.

The huge net blocked her way, she could only retreat to the right, but there was someone waiting for her on the right, wearing a cloak and hiding in the darkness, following her like a shadow, suddenly took out a silver-white crystal ball.In an instant, a dazzling silver light illuminated the night sky, and Liu Qiao was shocked to find that the invisibility cloak on her body had failed, and she could see her body.

A deep male voice came from the ear: "You think you are invisible, so we can do nothing about you?"

——This white crystal ball can illuminate all invisible targets within its range.

Another woman sneered and said, "Little girl, you, Professor Xiao, are really worried about you, and let you go out alone to find the way? He and Yu Hanjiang are safe in the invincible circle. They are sending you to die."

The middle-aged uncle said in a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense, get rid of this little girl first, our people at Xiaolou will continue to watch, the invincible circle is only 10 minutes, and after 10 minutes, they will die."

Surrounded by three people, Liu Qiao was very nervous.

Seeing a sharp sword stabbing towards her, Liu Qiao gritted his teeth and immediately threw out a card——

The ugly duckling and the white swan.

She turned women into ugly ducklings and herself into a white swan!

The woman stabbed with the sword, and the sword was only halfway through, only to find that her body suddenly shrank and turned into a clumsy duck. The woman cursed angrily: "Quack quack quack quack!"

The Ugly Duckling card is particularly useful at critical moments. It directly turns the enemy into a duck, and the transformation state cannot be canceled actively. After transformation, it cannot attack or be attacked.

The ducks on the ground were still quacking. I couldn't understand what was being said, but there must be no good words.

Liu Qiao ignored her, Liu Qiao turned into a white swan, and flew away gracefully in front of the ugly duckling.

But the Ugly Duckling card has a limited range of action after all. She only turned the woman who attacked her into a duckling. The other two, a cloaked man hidden in the darkness, and a She couldn't change the middle-aged rough uncle.

The danger had not been lifted, so Liu Qiao had no choice but to continue flying forward.

However, she only flew for a few seconds, when suddenly a tornado came head-on, the black tornado was menacing, and its power made Liu Qiao frightened - wherever the wind hit, even the surrounding houses were instantly destroyed!

The hurricane was like the end of the world. In the blink of an eye, the whole street was blown into a mess. This uncle's card is indeed very strong!

Fortunately, after turning into a swan, Liu Qiao flew very nimbly. She waved her wings to move around in an S shape, jumped left and right, and narrowly missed the trajectory of the tornado.

But just when she breathed a sigh of relief, another huge silver net fell from the sky——

Liu Qiao was caught off guard by the net.

She had no choice but to go to the right to avoid the hurricane, but there was already a huge net waiting for her on the right, and the tacit cooperation of the two hunters forced Liu Qiao to the point of no return.

The white swan couldn't break free from the net, so Liu Qiao had no choice but to end the transformation.

The giant net was getting tighter and tighter, and in a blink of an eye, it tied her whole body into a dumpling like a tailor-made rice dumpling, causing pain all over her body.The young man in the cloak said coldly: "What other tricks do you have? Aisha's freezing, the Queen's poisoned apple? Or the stand-in Little Red Riding Hood?"

They actually know most of the cards in Liu Qiao's hand...

Liu Qiao's face was pale. Except for cards like "Heart Consonance" that can be activated with spirit, the premise of using most of the cards is to take the cards out of the card bag to activate them.

At this time, her whole body was tightly strangled by the giant net, and her hands could not move at all, which meant that she could no longer use cards.

Seeing that the little girl's face was pale and she was tied up so that she couldn't move, the young man in the black cloak finally came out from the shadows and said with a low smile, "You're a smart little girl, but it's a pity that you found the wrong teammate. Send you to the chamber of nightmares."

He raised his right hand lightly, and a black crystal ball appeared in the air in the palm of his hand.

A dense black mist lingered around the crystal ball, and as the crystal ball continued to rotate, the black mist suddenly devoured towards Liu Qiao like a beast coming out of its cage——

Almost instantly, Liu Qiao's entire body was engulfed by the black mist.

The corner of the man's lips raised a contemptuous smile: "The boss also said that this group of people is difficult to deal with, is that all?"

He stepped forward, wanting to collect Liu Qiao's body.

However, when he walked to the giant net and waited for the black mist to dissipate, he was shocked to find that Liu Qiao, who was trapped by the net, had disappeared!

The man was stunned: "It's gone? Was it sent directly to the Nightmare Chamber?"

The middle-aged uncle frowned and said in a deep voice, "Challengers who die in ordinary secret rooms will also leave their bodies behind. There is no reason for them to disappear inexplicably."

The young man finally came to his senses: "Fuck, I got tricked!"

At this moment, Qu Wanyue activated Li Qingzhao's teleportation formation on the west side of the town in the opposite direction to Liu Qiao, and pulled all his teammates over.

Xiao Lou's concerned gaze immediately turned to Liu Qiao: "Xiao Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I've counted the time, Sister Qu's teleportation array opened in time. The man in black has a lot of strange crystal balls in his hand, and the black crystal ball should be able to kill people instantly. But , I still have a witch's antidote under my tongue, if it really doesn't work, I can take the antidote to save myself."

This is why Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang dared to send Liu Qiao out. Liu Qiao's self-rescue methods are the most among his teammates.

Qu Wanyue said: "It's still the team Yu's ability to tune the tiger away from the mountain. Those people really went after Xiao Liu, so I can escape and release the teleportation array for everyone."

Li Qingzhao has two cards in total.

One is in Xiao Lou's hands, and the other has been in Qu Wanyue's hands.

Not long ago, when Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang went to the Mass Burial Mound to find the clues left by Shao Qingge, they had Qu Wanyue send them with Li Qingzhao's mark. Of course, the teammates remembered it very clearly - Liu Qiao didn't have Li Qingzhao at all. this card.

So just now, Yu Hanjiang said loudly, "Xiao Liu Qinggong is the fastest, use the treetops to turn out, find a place to put Li Qingzhao's mark to send us" - Yu Hanjiang can't remember wrongly, he said that, of course, he said it deliberately to the hunter Listen.

Liu Qiao was very smart and immediately understood what Dui Yu meant.

This is for her to divert the tiger away from the mountain and create opportunities for Qu Wanyue.Otherwise, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang would have been surrounded by red cloth, and the invincible circle could only persist for 10 minutes. None of them would be able to get out, and they would be caught by the hunters in the urn and wiped out in the backyard of the Long Family.

So, everyone played a play together.

Liu Qiao pretended to run away and led the hunters away.Qu Wanyue used the chameleon card to integrate with the floor, and flexibly crawled out of the yard with the help of the Dance King's buff. She ran in the opposite direction to Liu Qiao, put down the teleportation array as quickly as possible, and pulled her teammates over.

The hunter thought he had the chance to win, but at the critical moment, Liu Qiao was pulled away by Qu Wanyue's teleportation array.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Don't be careless, those people will catch up soon."

Lao Mo asked nervously: "What should we do next? The maze has been turning, and the exit has not yet turned. Should we continue to deal with them in the maze?"

Xiao Lou said, "Don't worry. In the treasure chest Mr. Shao left for us, besides a lot of silver, there is also a card."

He took the card out of the card pack.

——It was Tao Yuanming.

Back then, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Lou gave Shao Qingge two sheets of Tao Yuanming to use as a transfer point to teleport two groups of teammates. Who would have thought that Boss Shao himself would be teleported to the world 20 years ago by the gatekeeper.

In the joint tomb of Shao Qingge and Ye Qi, the "inheritance" left for everyone was a Tao Yuanming card. Thanks to Shao Qingge's wit, he returned a card to Xiao Lou in this way.

Xiao Lou found a hidden corner to open the Peach Blossom Spring, and said, "The Peach Blossom Spring exists for 3 hours, we can go in and avoid it first. If my guess is right, as long as we find the murderer of the Shenhu case, this secret room Even if the puzzle is solved successfully, we have already guessed the murderer."

After 10 seconds, the entrance to Taohuayuan opens.

The teleportation entrance of this different space can only be seen by the card user, and other people will not notice it even if they pass by the entrance.Xiao Lou led his teammates into the Taohuayuan, and the six of them completely disappeared from the street. The hunters would definitely not find them in a while.

After entering Taohuayuan, the teammates immediately asked curiously: "Professor Xiao, who is the murderer?"

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang, who whispered, "Zhou Xiaoyun."

A look of surprise flashed across the faces of the teammates at the same time.

Xiao Lou patiently explained to everyone: "Just now when we went to the new house for an autopsy, the braids used by Lin Wanqing to hang herself were braided with hair. Generally speaking, girls' braids are divided into three bundles of hair, placed side by side, and then put on the left and middle. Cross, then cross the right side and the middle, and so on, you can make a beautiful 'twist braid'."

Liu Qiao nodded, the way she braided her hair was exactly the same.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Twisted braids are the simplest and most common. Ancient women often combed their hair into twisted braids. However, the braid that hanged Lin Wanqing just now was not a twisted braid, but five strands of hair cross-braided. The weaving is more complex and of course stronger. The strands of hair are interwoven into a net, more like the method used when making bamboo baskets by hand.”

If it weren't for Yu Hanjiang's sharp eyes, Xiao Lou would have almost overlooked this point. After all, it's just a braid of hair, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell the difference.In the dark, when they saw the hanged woman's body, they had limited time, so they had to do an autopsy first. Perhaps only Yu Hanjiang could notice such details.

Xiao Loudao: "The vines I saw at the bottom of the cliff were braided in exactly the same way as this braid, and there is a great possibility that they were made by the same person. And the vines must be related to the murderer in the mass grave. With the method of elimination, only We have been looking for Zhou Xiaoyun."

There were too many misleading clues in this case, which caused them to fall into a misunderstanding of reasoning from the very beginning.

Many girls were dragged to the bottom of the lake. The first thing they thought of was a strong adult man. When they found out that the bride, Lin Wanqing, had died on the night of the wedding, they speculated that the murderer's motive for committing the crime was love and hatred, or a grudge against the bride.The murderer mingled with the guests, sneaked into the new house and killed the bride while the groom was toasting everyone...

It now appears that these speculations were all wrong.

Yu Hanjiang said: "The murderer doesn't have to be very strong to drag those girls into the lake. She can faint the girls first, then tie them up with vines and drag them into the lake to drown."

Xiao Loudao: "On the day Lin Wanqing was killed, the murderer also hid in this pond in the backyard, right?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "No one left the guest seat, the murderer must be hiding somewhere else. The pond is located between the guest seat and the new house, and covered by lotus leaves, it is relatively hidden. She can see when the bride is sent into the new house, and so on. Once the maids, matchmakers and others leave, she can come out of the water, enter the room and quickly kill the bride, and then sneak into the pond to find a chance to leave."

If this is the case, then Zhou Xiaoyun is like a silent water ghost.

Liu Qiao frowned, and asked in confusion, "Why did she kill so many girls unknowingly and unknowingly?"

Xiao Lou thought carefully about the clues left by Shao Qingge, and said: "Boss Shao's clues said that Zhou Xiaoyun accidentally saw the true colors of those five bandits 20 years ago. Catch them, only Zhou Xiaoyun escaped."

Yu Hanjiang said: "It seems that she was very clever when she was a child, so she was able to escape in the chaos. For the children adopted by my mother-in-law, Uncle Ren can make rattles, Han Ningshuang can make kites, and Zhou Xiaoyun can weave vines. Maybe these skills were taught by my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law died Afterwards, Zhou Xiaoyun and Qi Ran lived together with Uncle Ren, and I don't know what happened to make her have such a deep obsession with red clothes and long hair."

Although I don't know what happened, but such a large-scale murder has completely distorted the murderer's psychology.

No wonder the murderers of the Li Ghost case and the Shenhu case used each other, but they did not interfere with each other. If the murderer of the Shenhu case was Zhou Xiaoyun, all this would make sense—because Zhou Xiaoyun knew that Han Ningshuang was using a kite to pretend to be a ghost. She would lure people to mass graves to kill, and she imitated the two people's practice to kill people before and after Ghost Festival, and dragged the corpses into the lake to create the illusion of "ghosts claiming their lives".

Qi Ran also knew that Zhou Xiaoyun killed the other missing people in the town, so he didn't stop them.

In this way, the two tacitly took advantage of the public opinion that "a ghost is killing their lives" to kill each other.

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more he felt that this speculation was closer to the truth. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "After the famine, Zhou Xiaoyun and Qi Ran left Qingfeng Town with Uncle Ren. Because Mr. Shao, they couldn't always follow behind the three of them. After more than ten years, there is no information about what happened to these three people. I guess Zhou Xiaoyun may have been tortured, and it has something to do with the red dress and long hair?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "For example, her hair was cut off, or she once met someone she loved, but suffered an accident when she got married, which led to psychological distortion? After returning to Qingfeng Town, Qi Ran only targeted the person who killed her 20 years ago. For the relatives of her mother-in-law, Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't get used to beauties with long hair, so she vented her anger by killing them."

Birds of a feather flock together, these three people really like each other.

Only Qin Feng did not participate in the killing, probably because he had been separated from them for many years and was not affected by their hostility.

Xiao Lou sighed softly in his heart.

The mother-in-law who adopted the children 20 years ago is undoubtedly a kind-hearted person. She fed and clothed the children, taught the children survival skills, and even cut off her hands and feet in order to save a few children. Die in pain.

She probably would never have imagined that these children she adopted would grow completely crooked and turned into murderous demons.
