The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Lao Mo looked down at the map he had drawn again.

Diamonds, hearts, clubs, and spades, he drew a complete structural diagram of the 13 rooms in each area, and marked the cards displayed on the walls of each room. There are a total of 52 rooms in four suits , Indeed, there has never been a big and small king.

Shao Qingge looked at the handkerchief thoughtfully: "Could it be that the big and small kings don't appear on the wall, so you need to find them yourself?"

Gui Yuanzhang said: "If this is the case, it is impossible for us to complete the task. Every wall is covered with playing cards. There are at least a million playing cards in the 52 rooms, right? Search one by one. , Let alone 1 hour, even if we were given 10 hours, we might not be able to find it all."

While the two were discussing, Gui Yuanzhang suddenly pointed to the four areas on the handkerchief: "Have you noticed that all the A secret rooms of suits are located in the middle?"

===[-]===

==[-]=Q==

=[-]===K=

J==A==10

=[-]===[-]=

==[-]=[-]==

===[-]===

Taking the square piece as an example, room A is indeed in the middle.

Lao Mo clearly remembered that at that time, he found the card [Ace of squares] in both secret rooms of J and 10. After taking off the playing cards, a door appeared at the end of the corridor. They walked through the door and directly reached A. Chamber of Secrets.

It is precisely because of this that he deduces that A secret room and J and 10 should be on the same level.

But now looking at the areas of hearts, spades, and clubs, the surrounding rooms are arranged chaotically and without any rules at all. The only thing in common is that the A secret rooms of the four major suits are all in the middle of the corresponding graphics.

Lao Mo suddenly thought of something, he quickly spread the handkerchief on the ground, carefully looked at the three-dimensional graphics from left to right, and then said excitedly: "I understand, A in the card world represents the gatekeeper , and the double king is considered the most powerful creation god in the card world, the four-suit A secret room and the double king secret room are not on the same plane as other points at all!"

Shao Qingge was puzzled: "But at that time, when we got the J of diamonds and the 10 of diamonds, we could go directly into the secret room A. If we were not on the same plane, we should go up and down the stairs, or fall in the air, right?"

Old Mo said: "Because of this, I self-righteously drew room A on the same floor, but in fact, although we didn't climb the stairs up and down, we didn't go through the parallel corridors, but got square A After this card, you will directly enter the secret room of square A, which is more like a teleportation point in the game."

Shao Qingge suddenly realized!

For example, 6 and K are on the same floor, then, if you get the K card in the 6 secret room, you can enter the K room after passing through a horizontal corridor, just like two rooms on the same floor.

However, all the suits and colors of room A, they did not go through any corridors or steps, but were teleported directly "point-to-point". Two locations are in the same space!

Lao Mo continued: "At that time in the secret room of Diamond A, we found four cards, namely the 2 of Diamonds, the J of Diamonds, the 8 of Diamonds, and the 10 of Diamonds. Did you see any patterns?"

Shao Qingge looked at the map: "The cards on the wall of A secret room happen to be the four vertices of a rhombus?"

Lao Mo nodded vigorously: "That's right. Spades, hearts, and clubs also follow the same law. On the wall of A secret room, there will be cards with four vertices of up, down, left, and right. Draw the corresponding cards and you can Going back to the four apex rooms. I think Room A is more of a separate space above the other poker rooms."

In order to facilitate the understanding of his teammates, Lao Mo re-draws a 3D figure on the handkerchief, saying: "Take the square area as an example, the whole maze looks like a 'tower' has been brought down on the ground, among them, 2~K The small rooms of the two kings are located on the same plane, that is, the bottom of the tower; the secret room A is not on the same plane as 2~K, it is likely to be at the waist of the 'tower', and the double king's secret room may be on the top of the tower inside!"

Shao Qingge's high school geometry is not bad. Looking at the three-dimensional image drawn by Lao Mo, he quickly understood: "That is to say, the plane of the 2~K secret room extends into the A secret room, and the four suits of A The chamber of secrets, extending further inside, is the twin kings?!"

Gui Yuanzhang also felt that Lao Mo's analysis was very reliable, combined with the rules of the card world, he said in a deep voice: "It makes sense. The four Aces represent the four gatekeepers, and the double kings are higher than their level." , the 'house' they live in is naturally not on the same plane."

Lao Mo put away his handkerchief, stood up and said, "After finding four aces, the secret room leading to the double kings should be activated!"

Shao Qingge also stood up: "Going back to [A secret room] with four suits, maybe we will find a new mechanism?!"

The three of them looked at each other, and in the floating frame, the countdown had reached the last minute.

时间太过紧迫，想在1分钟内走完四个A密室根本不可能，老莫看了眼当前墙壁上红桃5、方片5、黑桃5、梅花5四张牌，深吸口气，飞快地道：“我们分头行动！邵总走红桃和梅花，顺序是红桃5、3、8、7、9、A、红桃4、梅花6、9、2、3、A，顺序一定不能错。”

From the heart area to the club area, one must pass through the "transportation station" with four-suit cards on the wall. The path Lao Mo chose is the shortest path to reach the A of hearts and then to the A of clubs!

He has transformed into an insect king, with top-notch climbing and jumping abilities, and can walk up even the highest steps in a few seconds, saving a lot of time; and Senior Gui has a writing brush in his hand, which can help Lao Mo move lightly in the air, The three of them are divided into two groups, and each group will walk through two secret rooms A, and the time will still be very tight.

Lao Mo warned: "After arriving at the secret room A, unlock the newly-appeared mechanism!"

Shao Qingge looked cautious: "Remember, let's go."

The three nodded to each other, and immediately dispersed. Shao Qingge took off the 5 of hearts on the wall and went to the hearts area; Lao Mo and Gui Yuanzhang headed towards the secret room A in the spades area.

With a countdown of 50 seconds, Shao Qingge came to the hearts area.

He took the "poker keys" at the fastest speed according to the order that Lao Mo said, and ran quickly when he encountered a parallel corridor; when he encountered up and down stairs, he jumped directly on the handrail; I used the fastest speed and came to the room of [Ace of Hearts] when the countdown was 30 seconds.

On the wall, besides the previous four cards, there was indeed a key shining with golden light.

This should be the mechanism leading to the Chamber of Secrets of the Double Kings!

Shao Qingge took down the key, nothing happened, he got the 4 of hearts again according to the order he remembered, and then turned to the plum blossom area.

At the same time, Lao Mo and Gui Yuanzhang also came to the secret room A in the spade area, and found a key shining with silver light.

With a countdown of 16 seconds, Shao Qingge came to the secret room of Plum Blossom A and picked up the silver key.

With a countdown of 15 seconds, Lao Mo and Gui Yuanzhang arrived at the secret room of square A and picked up the golden key.

At the moment when all four keys were collected, a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes!

The key in his hand spiraled up, and the golden and silver rays of light intertwined and merged. After the two beams of light were completely fused, a gap suddenly opened in the closed wall in front of the secret room A.

The crack grew bigger and bigger, until a corridor leading to the depths of the maze slowly appeared in front of everyone.

10 seconds left!

The three rushed into the corridor without hesitation at a speed of [-] meters——

At the moment when the countdown stopped at 5 seconds, they saw a blank wall, and placed in the middle, the big king and the little ace. Shao Qingge took down the little king, and Gui Yuanzhang reached out and took down the big king.

[Congratulations to Shao Qingge, Mo Xuemin, and Gui Yuanzhang for successfully clearing the poker maze in 59 minutes and 55 seconds]

[The relay task is completed, please wait for the transmission]

Looking at the prompt in the floating box, the backs of the three of them broke out in cold sweat—this maze is the most complicated maze they have ever encountered, not only the three-dimensional structure with complicated paths, but also a large number of teleportation points , if Lao Mo hadn't analyzed the secrets of the four A secret rooms and the double king's secret room in time, they would really fail the mission this time and die in the poker maze.

Shao Qingge couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but think, when he returns to the real world, why not invest a sum of money and let Lao Mo design and build a building himself?The labyrinth-like building is dedicated to the business of secret room battle escape, and there may be many customers.

On the other side, Lao Mo also let out a long breath—Mr. Shao has a poor sense of direction. If he remembers the wrong order, he can't reach the secret room A, and it will be over.But Lao Mo believes that Shao Qingge has always been reliable at critical moments, and the facts have also proved that the strategy of splitting up just now is correct. Mr. Shao has a poor sense of direction, but has an excellent memory. He made no mistakes at all, and got the key in time!

5、4、3、2、1……

Suddenly, this line of digital countdowns popped up in front of my eyes, probably the so-called "waiting for transmission".

The moment the number reached 1, the vision of the three of them went black at the same time, followed by a dazzling light in front of their eyes.

Shao Qingge covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and after his eyes got used to the light, he squinted and found unexpectedly—there were all familiar faces around him!

Ye Qi, Lu Jiuchuan, Yu Hanjiang, Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Chu Huaying, Liu Qiao, Tang Ci, Xiao Lou...

When the teammates saw each other, surprise also appeared in their eyes.

The surrounding environment is very similar to a personal space, except that the previous wall of cards has been shattered, leaving only two cards, the king and the king.There was no notification from the gatekeeper, Xiao Lou took the initiative to say: "It seems that the relay task has been completed, and we got together again. Are you all alright?"

Everyone said it was fine.

Then, everyone's eyes stayed on the... bloody hole on Xiao Lou's forehead.

It's you who has something to do, Professor Xiao!

Yu Hanjiang's face darkened, and he quickly walked in front of Xiao Lou, and grabbed his wrist firmly: "What's wrong with your forehead?"

Xiao Lou coughed lightly, and explained simply: "The hunter shot me..."

The teammates gasped in unison.

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, his face immediately became extremely ugly. The fists beside him were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, wishing to tear the hunter into pieces.

Yu Hanjiang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't treated this wound at all, will it be infected?"

Facing those familiar deep eyes, Xiao Lou's heart warmed, and he comforted him softly: "It's okay, I took the witch's antidote."

Liu Qiao suddenly stood up and said, "The witch's antidote is only effective for one day, and the bullet is still in Professor Xiao's head. After dark, Professor Xiao will die!"

Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao helplessly: "It's not as serious as you said, isn't there still Mr. Shao and Xiaoye?"

Yu Hanjiang immediately looked at Shao Ye and the two: "Ace of Worms?"

Ye Qi said with a bitter face: "I used it before, and the skill is still cooling down."

Shao Qingge said: "I have only been transformed into the insect king for an hour, and the transformation state is not over yet, so I can heal Xiao Lou's injuries. However, the Zerg can only heal the wound, but cannot take out the bullets, right? After all, the Zerg cannot Move the contents out of the body, and after the wound heals, the bullet will be sealed in the brain, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Ye Qi thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea: "How about, let the Zerg heal the wound while performing surgery on Professor Xiao to remove the bullet. With the blessing of the witch's antidote buff, Professor Xiao can't die during the day, God Take out the bullet before black, and let the Zerg repair the brain tissue, wouldn't it be fine?"

Xiao Lou looked at Ye Qi and praised, "This is a good idea."

It's a pity that no one in the team knows how to perform brain surgery...

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they all looked anxious.Although the current time seems to be daytime, Xiao Lou is still alive and well, but the blood hole on his forehead is really scary. If it gets dark suddenly, wouldn't Xiao Lou just hang up?

Tang Ci thought for a while, and said: "Our company has developed an intelligent AI robot that can perform surgery. My healing robot card is made based on this principle. However, I don't know medical knowledge, so I must have professional surgical skills. Only when the doctor operates it can the basic operation be done well. Now, with Mr. Shao’s Zerg helping to repair the wound, maybe... I can try it.”

The subtext of Tang Ci is that Xiao Lou takes the antidote and is in a state of avoiding death during the day. Even if the robot cuts the wrong blood vessel or tissue, there is no need to worry that Xiao Lou will die on the operating table.As long as the bullet is taken out along the wound, the rest can be handed over to Mr. Shao.

The teammates all looked at Xiao Lou worriedly.

Xiao Lou himself looked relaxed. He looked at Tang Ci, smiled and said, "Since I take the antidote, I won't die during the day, so hurry up and do it."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at him worriedly: "Are you sure this method is feasible?"

Xiao Lou patted the back of the opponent's hand lightly: "Don't worry, the card world doesn't look like reality. I'll take the bullet and let the Zerg help to heal the wound at the same time. I'll be fine. When the bullet is taken out, my head will be injured even a little bit." No trace will be left."

This is true in theory, but Yu Hanjiang still couldn't help but worry.

Xiao Lou lay flat on the bed, Tang Ci took out the treatment robot, and familiar bugs appeared on Mr. Shao's fingertips. Yu Hanjiang sat by the bed and gently squeezed Xiao Lou's hand.

Sensing the familiar body temperature from his hands, Xiao Lou opened his eyes to look at Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan, and asked worriedly, "How did you and Brother Jiu get these bloodstains?"

Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just a skin injury."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "The two of us are pre-tasks, surviving in the wild, bumping and scratching the skin, don't worry, this is a very common thing for us, it's more important to get your bullet first."

Tang Ci said: "Professor Xiao, I will anesthetize you now, the robot will inject the anesthetic, please close your eyes."

In the real world, if a layman who has never studied medicine operated an intelligent robot to open Xiao Lou's head, Xiao Lou would think it was the biggest joke!

But now, he obediently closed his eyes.

He believes in his teammates.

Liu Qiao, Ye Qi and the others crowded around the hospital bed nervously. Yu Hanjiang kept holding Xiao Lou's hand. Tang Ci and Shao Qingge worked together. Tang Ci did not understand medicine, but the screen of the AI ​​treatment robot would display With the images captured by the probe, he quickly found the location of the bullet and asked the robot to take it out.

As for the damaged blood vessels and tissues during the process, Shao Qingge assisted in repairing them.

In just a few minutes, the blood hole on Xiao Lou's forehead disappeared.

Ye Qi couldn't help sighing: "The world of cards is amazing enough. If it were reality, I wouldn't even dare to think about it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his ear.

Sunny and feminine, two voices mixed together, reverberating in the confined space: "Congratulations to Xiao Lou's team for completing the relay task. The card world is so interesting, do you still want to insist on leaving?"

It was the voice of Xiao Wang that I had heard before.

At this time, Xiao Lou had already woken up. He sat up and said, "Of course, our original intention has never changed."

The two voices said: "If you were hit by this bullet in your so-called 'real world', you would have died long ago."

Xiao Lou smiled: "If it were the real world, it would be impossible for me to get hit by this bullet."

The teammates secretly praised Xiao Lou's rebuttal.

In the real world, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, and everyone is busy with a happy life. Who would meet a hunter who shoots at you indiscriminately just around the corner?Who would see a dead body yesterday, be trapped in a maze today, play cards tomorrow, and flee at sea the day after?

Isn't it nice to live quietly?Everyone was already tired from this thrilling journey.

What's more, there are so many relatives waiting for them.

Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let us go back after completing the Double King's Chamber of Secrets. Are you two talking for nothing?"

Double Kings Road: "The rules of the card world have never changed. You can indeed go back after clearing the Double Kings Chamber of Secrets. However, you have not cleared the customs yet. You have only completed the four links of the relay mission, and there is still the final stage where all members meet." challenge."

Everyone asked in unison: "What challenge?"

Shuangwang said: "Live to the end."

As soon as this sentence was finished, a white light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and then they lost consciousness.
