The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Chapter 55 [Financial Crisis 15-Inner Ghost]

Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge went to the city today for two purposes. One was that Shao Qingge was afraid of power outages and internet disconnections, so he needed to go online to complete the operation of shorting stocks as soon as possible; ghost.

The owner of the Shanshui B&B said that Xu Zhengyang had already checked out and left, but Yu Hanjiang still placed a bug on the boss just to be on the safe side, and the other two were placed at the corner of the second floor of the Shanshui B&B, and at the Shaoqing B&B. In the corridor of the hotel where Ge lived before.

After the two left the homestay, they found a quiet place and listened carefully to the movement from the bug.

About half an hour later, a soft female voice rang through the bug at Shanshui B&B: "Boss, we have no cash, can we use milk and instant noodles to pay for the room?"

The boss smiled and said, "Okay! I want four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles."

The girl said: "Can we discuss it again? We don't have much food left...Can three boxes be okay?"

The boss said: "The price of goods doubles every day. Yesterday it was two boxes, and today it is four boxes. I didn't make a mistake!"

The girl discussed with her partner: "We don't have so many supplies, why don't we go out and live?"

Another person said: "Okay. I don't think it's worthwhile to exchange four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles for one night's accommodation."

The two finally made a decision: "Then let's check out. If the house price continues to rise, maybe the boss will ask us for eight boxes of milk tomorrow."

The boss smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to check out. You two girls are so pitiful. How unsafe is it to sleep on the street? Just follow what you said, three boxes. If you want, you can also pay a few more at a time. day's room rate."

The two girls did not expect the boss's attitude to soften, and immediately agreed: "Then let's use six boxes of milk and instant noodles to pay for two days' room fees in advance."

Not long after, two more male challengers went to the front desk to discuss with the boss to pay the room fee with supplies. The result was the same as before. At first, the boss asked for four boxes of milk and four boxes of instant noodles to cover the one-day accommodation fee. The two were not happy, and the boss He smiled and gave them a discounted price.

At the Shanshui B&B, only two challengers insisted on checking out, and the others stayed by exchanging supplies for accommodation.

The hotel where Shao Qingge lived was completely different. Several groups of challengers went to the front desk to advance the accommodation fee with supplies, but the hotel front desk ignored them, and the receptionist at the front desk said indifferently: "Our wages are almost out of reach. Well, I don't know if this hotel can continue to open, you guys can't live there!"

Several challengers had no choice but to check out and leave.

Yu Hanjiang frowned slightly: "It's not quite right."

Shao Qingge thought about it carefully, and said: "I remember, Ye Qi and his group of challengers left the B&B collectively on the third day because a large amount of supplies were stolen on the second night. Under the leadership of a lawyer, everyone went to After leaving the construction site, gather all the materials and distribute them, and live together. If it weren’t for some idiot who lit the fire and cooked noodles in the middle of the night to attract the team of prisoners, they should be able to pass the customs, right?”

Yu Hanjiang didn't think so: "I think, even if no one lit the fire, it would be difficult for them to clear the customs collectively."

Shao Qingge was a little surprised: "Captain Yu said that there is still a hole dug for us by the gatekeeper?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded, and analyzed carefully: "First of all, the reason why Ye Qi and the others left the B&B was that 80% of all the challengers' supplies were stolen the next night, and there was not much left for everyone to eat. Collect them all, you There is milk, I have bread, he has chocolate, and they are distributed according to their needs. Only when there are many people and strength, can we have a chance to survive together."

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly: "However, today's challenger at Shanshui B&B did not have their supplies stolen."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Because Professor Xiao and I made a move, we forced the inner ghost to go away when he came to steal things last night. He killed his temporary teammates in order to escape, and he didn't have time to steal the supplies of the other challengers in Shanshui B&B."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were too vigilant. After realizing the existence of the thief, they deliberately lured the snake out of the hole and forced the thief away, changing the original plot of the secret room of the 3 of spades.As long as the materials are not stolen, the challengers still have enough food for seven days in their hands, so of course they don't need to check out.

In addition, the owner of Shanshui B&B is very talkative. If the price is doubled, the room fee on the third day should have been 4 boxes of milk and instant noodles. He gave everyone only 3 boxes, leaving most of the money. challenger.

Shao Qingge reacted immediately: "Is there a problem with the owner of the hotel?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded with a sullen face: "Two possibilities. First, the owner of the homestay is very shrewd. He knows that when the financial crisis breaks out, few locals will come to stay with him. The house is empty and he can't make any money. I think it's better to keep these 'outsiders' and exchange the supplies for the house fee, and earn a little bit."

He paused for a moment, then said, "The second possibility is that he intentionally kept the challenger at a discounted price."

Shao Qingge frowned: "You mean, because Xu Zhengyang failed to steal last night, and the challengers still had their supplies, he intentionally left everyone behind so that it would be convenient for that Xu Zhengyang to continue stealing—the boss and that Is the person surnamed Xu an accomplice?!"

The 3-hour bug has expired. Yu Hanjiang put away the bug and said coldly, "Otherwise, how could Xu Zhengyang come in and out of the Shanshui B&B with ease, and still have a clear grasp of all the challenger's material information?"

Thinking of the way the hotel owner warmly greeted the guests, and the smile when he helped them check Xu Zhengyang's information just now, Shao Qingge felt his spine tremble: "The spade secret room is too bad, isn't it? This is to lure all the challengers into the wolf's lair on purpose ?”

Yu Hanjiang said with an ugly face: "Challengers will subconsciously look for the cheapest accommodation when they come here, but they don't know that this is actually a black shop-the boss and the free man jointly commit crimes, master all the information of 'outsiders', steal Take supplies from 'outsiders' and make huge profits from the financial crisis!"

In fact, the Chamber of Spades 3 decided from the very beginning that the challengers would have a hard time.

If you look for expensive accommodation, you can’t afford the room fee; if you look for the cheapest accommodation, the trap has already been dug here.

When you check in, the boss will immediately determine your identity as a "foreigner"; when the challengers are carrying supplies from the supermarket, the boss standing at the front desk will naturally know exactly how much everyone brought back.

Xu Zhengyang only needs to live in the Shanshui B&B as a challenger. Using the two cards of invisibility cloak and master key, he can steal the challenger's supplies at any time without anyone noticing and put them back in his room.

Shao Qingge was a little puzzled: "According to the Yu team, the invisibility cloak and the master key are all clearance rewards for the 3-of-hearts chamber. This Xu Zhengyang is a free man. How can he have so many cards?"

Yu Hanjiang lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of a possibility: "He wants to pretend to be a challenger, and there is a way - to kill a challenger and replace him."

That would make sense for him to have a Challenger card on him.

He paid close attention to the city's movements. At the beginning, he singled out the "outlander" to attack, killed him, took away his card, replaced the identity of the deceased, and then mixed in with the challengers to steal supplies.

——His name was not Xu Zhengyang, but the challenger he replaced was named Xu Zhengyang.

The real Xu Zhengyang had been killed by him, and the teammate that Xu Zhengyang matched also died under his knife.

Shao Qingge felt cold all over: "Fortunately, I didn't match teammates in this secret room. In case of a random match, he kills his teammates and pretends to be my teammate. Maybe I will be tricked too."

As early as when clearing Club 2, the gatekeeper said that the C-level secret room recommends that you form a team in advance, and if you match teammates randomly, you may not be sure who you will be matched with.

For people like Shao Qingge and Ye Qi who don't plan to form a team, the 3 of Spades Chamber of Secrets can't trick them, because they don't have teammates in the first place, and it is impossible for a teammate to suddenly appear; People in the team, act together, and will not give the boss a chance.

Only those who haven't found a regular teammate after passing the second level, they may be matched with a cheat by random matching, and they are not vigilant enough to be killed and replaced by the boss. They are also companions of wolves every day without knowing it.

Shao Qingge had some sympathy for this group of challengers. One named Xu Zhengyang was killed by the boss at the beginning of the game; the other teammate was killed by the boss pretending to be Xu Zhengyang. They probably didn't know how they died.

Yu Hanjiang said: "They are not bad in themselves to be able to pass Hearts 3 perfectly, but they are too confident and careless, and they are not cautious enough when meeting unfamiliar 'teammates', so the boss took advantage of them."

Shao Qingge pressed his temples with a headache: "There is a zombie leader Liu Xiaoyuan in the secret room of Spades 2, and in the secret room of Spades 3, there is a boss who pretends to be a challenger and steals things. Moreover, the owner of Shanshui B&B is also an accomplice. Based on my analysis, I never thought that Shanshui B&B is actually the biggest black shop!"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Last night, one person died at Shanshui B&B. The boss is still so calm today, there must be something wrong."

The boss and the free man teamed up, and Shanshui B&B became a black shop specially designed to trap "outsiders".

There were fewer challengers staying in the hotel across the street, so "Xu Zhengyang" first picked a place with few people on the first night.The next day, he brought his idea to the Shanshui B&B where the challengers gathered. At this time, there will be two results——

The first is what Ye Qi experienced. The challengers were not vigilant enough, and most of their supplies were stolen. They could only be transferred to the construction site as a last resort, except for the kind of senior Ye Qi who abandoned his teammates and left alone with supplies. And those who put the supplies elsewhere at the beginning, other challengers gathered at the construction site, there is a great possibility that the group will be destroyed.

The second type, among the challengers are Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou who are vigilant enough and capable of catching thieves. At this time, the secret room boss will use extreme means to escape, and the other challengers will keep the supplies temporarily, but the boss will use "discounts" They deliberately kept everyone here and let "Xu Zhengyang" continue to steal everyone's things.

If there is no accident, "Xu Zhengyang" will return to the Shanshui B&B again tonight. Once most of the challengers' supplies in the B&B are stolen, they will have to leave here and gather at the construction site again.

Yu Hanjiang thought through all this, and felt that the layout of the Ace of Spades and Ace of Clubs was really precise.

The actions of most of the challengers were arranged by them.

In the secret room of spades 3, there are only three types of people who can survive smoothly: the ruthless people who abandon their teammates and monopolize supplies; , a cautious player who can transfer at any time.

Other challengers who honestly stock up on supplies and live in homestays are almost doomed to be eliminated.

Yu Hanjiang stood up: "We have to go back as soon as possible. I am worried that the challengers who checked out from the hotel will flock to the construction site. Professor Xiao and the others are in danger."

Shao Qingge also stood up vigilantly: "Let's go!"

***

It was exactly noon.

Under the scorching sun, the road was about to melt, and the trees on the street were all sunburned, drooping their leaves listlessly.

Several main roads in the city are still tightly blocked. Without the command of the traffic police, the cars can't move at all. In addition, some rear-end collisions and collisions caused by traffic jams caused some drivers to get out of the cars and quarrel, which made the traffic jam even worse. confusion.

The exhaust fumes emitted by a large number of vehicles seemed to raise the surrounding temperature a bit, and the sound of horns on the street was deafening.

As long as there is gas in the car, the air conditioner can be turned on, but if it continues to be blocked like this, the gas in the car will always run out, and the price of gas has risen so much that most people can't afford it.Many people hid in the car and turned on the air conditioner, their faces were full of anxiety, and some even couldn't wait, so they just abandoned the car and fled.

On the street, someone smashed open the shops on the side of the road and went in to loot them.

Someone went to smash the self-service teller machine, but found that there was no gold coin in it, turned around and ran away cursing.

The bank was robbed and had to close.

In the supermarket in the central square, no one patiently queued up to check out. A large number of residents poured into the supermarket, beating, smashing, and looting. , couldn’t close the door at all, someone accidentally fell down, the people behind couldn’t stop, they were squeezed and stepped on, and an old man lying on the ground was trampled to death...

The crowded crowd fell down one after another like a "domino effect". Yu Hanjiang kept crying and screaming, and a very serious stampede happened in the chaotic supermarket!

Shao Qingge felt chills down his spine, and couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "It's too scary, I don't know how many people will die..."

Once this group stampede happens, countless people will be killed and injured!

Yu Hanjiang's face became more and more ugly. With his own strength, he couldn't help even if he went to the scene, but seeing so many people being trampled to death, he really couldn't get rid of his anger!

Xiao Lou is right... the world is crazy.

Yu Hanjiang clenched his fists hard, forced himself to turn his head away from watching the cruel scene, and directly activated the teleportation card, leading Shao Qingge back to the construction site at an extremely fast speed.

Almost at the same time, Xiao Lou sent a text message: "Team Yu, many challengers have suddenly come to the construction site."

Yu Hanjiang hurriedly asked: "Are you okay? Did they rob supplies or hurt you?"

Xiao Lou: "..."

Could it be that in Dui Yu's heart, he has no power to protect himself?

Perhaps in Team Yu's opinion, as a university professor, Xiao Lou is a gentle and gentle person. He never fights with others, and his physical strength is not very strong. He can barely keep up with Yu Hanjiang when he wears speed shoes.

But don't forget, this is the card world.

No matter how gentle a person is, he must force himself to become stronger in this world, and the weak can only wait to be eliminated.

——If Xiao Lou needs to be protected by others, then it is not Xiao Lou.

Seeing the ellipsis he replied, Yu Hanjiang thought that he was in trouble and it was inconvenient to speak, so he immediately speeded up and teleported back to the construction site with Shao Qingge like flying.

However, the scene in front of them made Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge stunned at the same time.

In the room in the northwest corner of the third floor, Xiao Lou looked calm, even with a smile on his face.

He lifted his finger lightly, and several silver metal rings were floating in front of him. Next to him, two men were trapped from head to toe by densely packed rings; the feet of two girls were surrounded by chain rings. They couldn't stand still when they were caught in the trap, so they could only lean against the wall to maintain their balance; there was also a man and a woman who were directly hung from the beam by the ring, begging for mercy with terrified faces.

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

Professor Xiao is amazing.

It seems that his worry is too much.

Seeing Yu Hanjiang and Shao Qingge coming back, Xiao Lou immediately walked over with a smile and said, "These guys, seeing that Ye Qi and I are only two people, and there are so many supplies in the room, they dare to come in and grab things directly. I caught them all."

Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou adoringly from the side: "Professor Xiao really has the foresight. After you left, he drew a lot of rings for later use. I didn't see clearly the operation just now. He is like magic. Now tie up these bastards!"

The six people who were tied up: "..."

There was only one handsome young man on the construction site, a man who looked gentle and gentle, and he thought it was easy to deal with.

In the end, he stepped into the ring trap, 6V2, completely defeated, and all of them were caught and turned into prisoners. What a shame!
