The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The first thing Liu Qiao did after waking up was to check the surrounding environment. She found that she was sleeping in a familiar university dormitory. The three roommates had just returned from cooking downstairs, and the smell of food was still wafting in the room.

A carp in Liu Qiao sat up straight from the bed, got out of bed quickly dressed, and asked calmly, "What time is it?"

The roommate who was eating said, "One o'clock at noon."

Liu Qiao frowned, picked up the phone on the table, and checked the time—December 12, exactly one o'clock at noon.

Huihui, who was on the opposite bed, bought super spicy hot and sour noodles and drank water desperately while eating; the other two roommates bought garlic green vegetables, vegetarian fried snow peas, hot and sour potato shreds, and braised eggplant from the cafeteria.

Roommate Xiaoqing said: "I ate vegetarian dishes for half a month in order to lose weight, but I didn't lose a few catties. Why don't we all go out to have a good meal tonight and celebrate the New Year!"

Hui Hui said: "I think so too, let's four AAs, let's have dinner tonight, I heard that the hot pot restaurant nearby is very good!"

Liu Qiao: "..."

The style of the meal, as well as the content of their conversation, are exactly the same as in memory.The reappearance of the past made Liu Qiao feel a little dazed for a moment, she quickly calmed down, and said in a low voice: "You guys eat first, I'll go downstairs to buy something."

Her hair was a little messy just after waking up, Liu Qiao casually picked up the rubber band on the table, tied her long hair neatly behind her head, went to the bathroom, washed her face and brushed her teeth, then changed into a sportswear that was easy to move and went downstairs. While walking, I turned on my phone to search for the latest news... Even the trending search for a star in the entertainment industry who gave birth to twins in the hospital was exactly the same as I remembered.

Feeling in the pocket, Liu Qiao was slightly relieved to find that the card pack was still there.

She opened the school's internal app to check the class schedule - there happened to be Xiao Lou's class this afternoon, which was a professional class in the Department of Forensic Medicine.

Liu Qiao found Xiao Lou's classroom and reserved a seat in advance. She didn't even eat lunch, and her stomach was empty, but she couldn't care about these things, she had to find Professor Xiao first.

As the class time approached, more and more students walked into the classroom.

There were only 40 students in the forensic department class. Seeing Liu Qiao's unfamiliar face, many people showed curious expressions. A bold boy saw that she was pretty, so he came over and asked: "Which major is my junior sister? Come to sit in on Professor Xiao's class?"

Liu Qiao replied indifferently: "Yes."

The boy made fun of himself, and sat beside him resentfully.

Liu Qiao looked around blankly. The students chatted together in twos and threes, but found no obvious abnormalities.

At 25:[-], Xiao Lou walked into the classroom on time.

As soon as he stepped onto the podium, the whole classroom fell silent instantly.

This is the first time for Liu Qiao to take Xiao Lou's class in person. I only heard that Professor Xiao's public class is very popular. When choosing a class, he is always the first to sign up. Now it seems that when Xiao Lou is standing on the podium, Really smelly.He is slender, wearing a shirt and trousers, and a blue twill tie. He looks clean and fresh. With his handsome facial features and friendly smile, he is simply the perfect teacher in the students' minds.

Xiao Lou looked down the stage, and his gaze paused for a second on Liu Qiao who was sitting in the front row: "This classmate, why haven't I seen him before?"

Liu Qiao stood up with a calm expression: "Professor Xiao, I am a student of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I come here just because of my reputation. I wonder if you are allowed to sit in on your class? If I offend you, I will leave now."

Xiao Lou smiled slightly, and raised his hand towards Liu Qiao: "It's okay, sit down."

He started to give lectures as if nothing had happened. This lecture happened to be about the view of giant corpses. Xiao Lou talked eloquently on the stage. The students in the audience looked at the pictures of various corpses in the PPT, and they were obviously used to it, and they all listened very carefully. .

A class was over quickly. Xiao Lou walked out of the classroom and came to the teacher's lounge. Liu Qiao immediately followed him and knocked on the door of the lounge.

Xiao Lou's voice came from inside the room: "Please come in."

Liu Qiao entered the room and met Shang Xiao Lou's gentle eyes. She was about to speak, but she heard the other party calmly ask: "You just followed, aren't you afraid that I'm a hunter in disguise?"

Liu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly said calmly: "Even if you are pretending to be a hunter, I can escape at any time. You should know that my card [Little Red Riding Hood] allows me to exchange places with Little Red Riding Hood. Before I come to you I left Little Red Riding Hood in a safe place. Besides, if you are really a hunter, you shouldn’t ask me this question to arouse my suspicion.”

Xiao Lou smiled and nodded: "The analysis is good."

Liu Qiao met Shang Xiaolou's eyes and said word by word: "I went to the third floor of the library just now and borrowed a copy of "Compendium of Materia Medica". I thought about returning it after reading it in two months. Professor Xiao has eaten. How about I treat you to hot pot?"

Xiao Loudao: "I prefer western restaurants."

Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief when the agreed code was successfully matched. She walked up to Xiao Lou and asked softly, "Professor Xiao, are we back in the past?"

Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "That's not right. At first I thought that I was teleported to the past memory maze, because the people and things around me were exactly the same as in my memory. Han Jiang went to the forensic identification center to find me, My mother called me, and even the license plate numbers of the taxis I met on the road were the same..."

He paused and looked at Liu Qiao: "Until your appearance made me deny this guess."

Liu Qiao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Loudao: "If this was a memory maze, you wouldn't have come to me today. I don't know a student named Liu Qiao in my past memories. But you came, which means that this is an independent secret room world, and Multiple teammates traveled to this world at the same time. However, most of the plots here are consistent with our memories."

Liu Qiao caught the key from his words: "Multiple teammates? Professor Xiao has seen Team Yu?"

Xiao Lou rubbed his temples with a wry smile: "Yes, but he is not the Yu Hanjiang I know."

Liu Qiao was almost taken aback by his words: "Not Captain Yu?"

Xiao Loudao: "It can be understood in this way that what we are in is a copied past world. Except for challengers like you and me who have traveled here, other people's memories and thoughts are also stuck in the past. So , Yu Hanjiang's attitude towards me is very strange, and Shao Qingge doesn't even know me."

Liu Qiao finally understood: "That is to say, the twelve of us have been separated again. Team Yu and Mr. Shao are not in the same copy as us? Are all the Mr. Shao and Team Yu we saw here copied?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes. As for whether there are other teammates, we have to confirm as soon as possible. Of course, we must also prevent hunters from posing as teammates." He looked at Liu Qiao and asked, "Do you have your card pack? "

"Yes." Liu Qiao confirmed.

"...Well, that's good." Xiao Lou didn't say much. He walked to the window, lifted the blinds and looked downstairs. It was almost dinner time after two classes, and the campus gradually became lively. Xiao Lou Closing the curtains, he said calmly, "The nearest to us is Ye Qi from the Conservatory of Music. Let's go find Ye Qi first."

"Okay, I think so too." Liu Qiao quickly followed.

The two walked out of the medical school, walked around the university town, and soon found the gate of the music school.Compared with the medical school, the Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music where Ye Qi works has a much more open school ethos, and many students have colorful non-mainstream hair dyed.

Liu Qiao caught a blond girl and asked, "Hello, do you know Ye Qi?"

The girl smiled and said, "I know you! Ye Qi is from our class. He entered the final of the top ten singers on campus. Tonight happens to be the final. Are you here to watch the competition?"

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao looked at each other, they didn't expect Xiao Ye to be a famous figure in the Conservatory of Music.

Liu Qiaodao: "Where is the final venue?"

The girl pointed to the distance: "It's the gymnasium over there!"

The two followed the girl's guidance to the open gymnasium. At this time, the big stage had already been set up in the gymnasium, and many staff members were busy. Liu Qiao went up to inquire about Ye Qi, and the other party replied: "Ye Qi Qi went to dinner with his friends, the competition starts on time at seven o'clock in the evening, you can come to the backstage to find him when the time comes."

Xiao Lou had no choice but to sit in the auditorium with Liu Qiao, waiting for the game to start.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the singer finals of the Conservatory of Music officially started. After the host came to the stage and gave an impassioned speech, the singers who entered the finals took the stage to perform in turn.

Xiao Lou seldom watched this kind of student competition at school, but today he came to the final venue to find Ye Qi. The music school's standard is indeed very high, and the students sing very professionally.

The host said: "Next, let's give warm applause to singer No. 7, Ye Qi!"

A teenager wearing ripped jeans and a T-shirt with an exaggerated pattern jumped onto the stage. Under the lights, Ye Qi seemed to be shining with a layer of dazzling light.He smiled brightly, sang crisply, sang and danced, full of energy, occasionally performed a cool solo dance, and waved handsomely to the audience: "Everyone come together! The audience behind, let me see your light sticks!"

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao: "..."

The hot-blooded Ye Qi is completely different from the Ye Qi in their impression.It was difficult for Xiao Lou to connect this energetic young man in front of him with the little guy who was sneaking around pushing a garbage truck and acting like a thief when they first met.

The card world has changed a lot.

Xiao Lou said with complicated emotions: "This is not the Ye Qi we know."

Liu Qiao frowned and said, "It really doesn't look like it. Could it be that this Ye Qi was also copied by the gatekeeper?"

Xiao Lou shook his head lightly: "When the game is over, go backstage and have a look."

After Ye Qi finished singing, there was warm applause from the audience. The deafening "Ye Qi, Ye Qi" gave Xiao Lou the illusion of participating in a celebrity concert, which shows how popular Xiao Ye is in school.

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao turned around and came backstage, and found Ye Qi who was drinking water.

Liu Qiao walked over and stretched out his hand: "Ye Qi, hello."

Ye Qi looked at them suspiciously: "Who are you two?"

Xiao Loudao: "Your fans came to the finals specially, you sang very well."

Ye Qi smiled generously and said, "Thank you!"

Xiao Lou found that his expression was normal, and he didn't know the two of them at all.Liu Qiao took out a fluorescent stick and gave it to Ye Qi: "I wish you win the championship, and there will be a singer contest on Jiangzhou TV station in the future. Let's work hard."

Ye Qi was puzzled: "Oh? How did you know that I signed up for the TV station's singer contest?"

Liu Qiaodao: "I am your fan and have been following you."

"Really?" Ye Qi smiled happily and said that he wanted to take a photo with Liu Qiao.

Xiao Lou took out his mobile phone and took a group photo of them before he left the stadium with Liu Qiao.

At the moment when the two had just walked out of the final venue, a scream suddenly sounded in the distance: "Ahh—"

Xiao Lou and Liu Qiao glanced at each other, and hurried towards the direction of the sound.

On the tree-lined avenue of the campus, the light was dim, a girl with a pale face was holding on to the tree trunk, the bicycle overturned beside her, Xiao Lou, who had no card, ran slower, Liu Qiao came to the girl in an instant with the help of the Qinggong card , asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

The girl pointed at the center of the lake tremblingly: "There is, there is something in the lake! I seem to have seen a human face just now!"

Xiao Lou also rushed to the lake at this time.

This tree-lined path just surrounds a lake, which is the most famous "Liuguang Lake" in the Conservatory of Music. Some street lights around the lake are broken, and the surrounding vision is not very clear, but the moonlight in the sky is projected on the lake, reflecting the That lump in the middle of the lake.

The ball floated up and down on the lake, Xiao Lou squinted his eyes and looked carefully, at the moment "it" floated up, Xiao Lou really saw a pale and swollen face.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Call the police."

He understood the mission of this secret room - encountering the corpse was no coincidence, neither Ye Qi nor Yu Hanjiang were teammates they knew, and their memories were stuck in the past.They can only use the power of Yu Hanjiang and Ye Qi from the past to help them solve the puzzle.
