The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

When Xiao Lou opened his eyes, he found himself in a dark corridor. There was a mirror at the end of the corridor. He struggled to stand up and took two steps forward, and then clearly saw the person in the mirror——

The man's face was as pale as paper, his lips were so chapped that there were several obvious cuts, his hair was messy like weeds, his clothes were covered with yellow sand and it was almost impossible to tell the original color, and there was a large glaring bloodstain on his chest.

If it wasn't for the fact that the people in the mirror were also walking when Xiao Lou was walking, he would hardly have recognized himself in such a mess.

Xiao Lou gently touched the blood-stained chest, the wound there seemed to be healing, but the cold touch of the blade cutting through the body was still clearly engraved in his memory.

The image of Liu Qiao piercing his heart with a knife flashed again in his mind.

He never believed that Liu Qiao would kill him, there must be something wrong...

Xiao Lou didn't have time to think about it when he heard a familiar mechanical sound.

[Welcome to the Nightmare Chamber. 】

[This will be your last chance, once you are eliminated in the Nightmare Chamber, you will be completely wiped out. 】

This voice was heard when I entered the double king's secret room. One was gentle and clear, and the other was deep and cold. The two voices combined to form a strange reverberation-this is the rule maker of the card world, the king and the little one. Wang's voice.

The Chamber of Nightmare, that means, he is already dead in the Chamber of Two Kings?

He was suddenly attacked by Liu Qiao at that time, and he didn't have time to react. Therefore, he didn't have time to activate the team-limited resurrection card.Liu Qiao's knife killed him in one blow, and it was an inevitable result that he was sent to the nightmare chamber.

As early as the beginning, the gatekeeper told him that once the challengers failed to break through the level, they would be eliminated to the nightmare chamber. The difficulty of the nightmare chamber was several times higher than that of ordinary chambers, and very few people could survive from the nightmare chamber.

Ye Qi was eliminated and went to the [3 Spades] Nightmare Chamber, where he survived for 7 days by eating leaves.Nine Brothers, Tang Ci, Hua Ying and Senior Gui were eliminated to the nightmare chamber of [Plum Blossom J]. Nine Brothers were seriously injured, and Tang Ci even lost his legs there.

This time it was the nightmare chamber of [Shuangwangguan], the difficulty must be higher than that encountered by teammates, I don’t know if I can survive.Xiao Lou clenched his fists hard and quickly regained his sanity.No matter what happens, he must first remain calm.

At this moment, the mirror reflecting Xiao Lou's figure at the end of the corridor suddenly flipped 180 degrees, revealing a door.

It's pitch black inside the door, but it's the only way out—the way to the Nightmare Chamber.

Xiao Lou didn't hesitate, and walked in.

The iron door slammed shut behind him, and the sound was particularly ear-piercing in the dark environment.

Xiao Lou's Ye Mingzhu card was invalid after being used before, and now, he only has one lighting card left on him, which is the palace lantern he got in the dungeon of [Shangyuan Lantern Festival].

The lantern can illuminate an area of ​​100 square meters, but the lantern will go out after the candle burns out.

A candle can burn continuously throughout the night, Xiao Lou took out the palace lantern without hesitation - he must be aware of his current environment before he can find a way to escape.

However, the moment he took out the lantern to illuminate the surroundings, Xiao Lou suddenly froze in place.

This is a closed secret room. Xiao Lou stands in the center of the secret room. There are four doors around him, and there is a mirror on each door. As he lights up the lantern, the image in the mirror clearly appears on his mind. before--

In the mirror directly in front of him is his mother.The woman smiled and looked at him with gentle eyes.

Xiao Lou hurriedly turned around and looked behind——

In the mirror behind him was his father, looking stern and staring at him intently.

On the left and right are his cousins ​​and cousins ​​who have been clinging to him since he was a child.

The lively and cheerful girl, with a bright smile on her face, looked at him with eyes full of admiration, like a little fan girl; the introverted and shy cousin, her eyes were disturbed, and her cheeks were a little red when she looked at him.

The looks and demeanor of these people are too real, as if they really appeared in front of him.

Xiao Lou looked at the familiar relatives in the mirror, and his heart couldn't help trembling slightly. He took a step forward with the palace lantern, and pushed open the door where his mother appeared in the mirror.

The next moment, he entered an almost endless corridor.

There are countless doors in the corridor, and each door has a mirror. Every time Xiao Lou takes a step, the mirror next to him will show some clips like a movie. The woman in the picture is either smiling gently, or with a sad face, Or frowned and lost in thought, with vivid expressions, as if Xiao Lou had really seen his mother.

Although he seldom mentioned his family after coming to the card world, Xiao Lou always buried them deeply in his heart.His family is the reason why he insists on returning to the real world.His parents have worked so hard to bring him up, but he hasn't had time to fulfill his filial piety, and he can't let a white-haired person send a black-haired person!

Now, seeing his kind and familiar mother appear in the mirror, and thinking of the woman who cried bitterly because of her son's car accident in the real world, Xiao Lou's heart ached.

But he knew clearly that what was in front of him was an illusion, and he couldn't indulge in the illusion of the mirror.

Holding the palace lantern, he forced himself to ignore the phantom in the mirror, and walked forward quickly.

The moment he walked to the corner, the faces of the "mothers" in all the mirrors in the corridor suddenly changed, those vivid expressions gradually distorted, and the originally gentle eyes became cold and sharp, and they stared at her like poisonous snakes. Xiao Lou stretched out his hands from the mirror, and pinched Xiao Lou's neck like lightning——

Xiao Lou gasped for breath, hurriedly activated the Gale Accelerator Shoes, and ran forward quickly!

However, there are more and more women attacking him around him, and each of them has his mother's face, like replicas produced in batches in the interstellar world.Xiao Lou's scalp was numb, and he fled while hiding. With the help of Galewind Shoes, he struggled to get rid of these people, and finally saw a fork in the road ahead. He pushed the door and went in——

To make matters worse, countless "fathers" appeared throughout the corridor.

Just like before, his father's expression was either serious or dignified, and there were also a few smiles.But the moment they saw Xiao Lou, the eyes of all the people in the mirror became cold and sharp, like a machine without emotion.

They came out of the mirror and attacked Xiao Lou frantically!

Xiao Lou didn't have many attack cards in his hand, and he had consumed too many cards before, so he could only run for his life with all his strength.

The entire maze is full of mirrors, and it is impossible to tell the direction.

Wearing acceleration shoes, Xiao Lou struggled to evade their attacks at a speed of hundreds of meters. More and more people were chasing after him. In addition to the parents, younger siblings, and grandpa, grandma, colleagues, Students, college classmates, teachers...

Almost all the faces with clear impressions in his memory reappeared in this mirror maze.

Those familiar people were all attacking him expressionlessly.It is conceivable that one day your parents, brothers, and close friends suddenly start to attack you collectively, each staring at you coldly, wanting to kill you...

Such a scene can easily lead to emotional breakdown.

But Xiao Lou did not collapse.

Although he was frantically fleeing for his life in embarrassment, he still maintained the last shred of reason.

As he ran, he memorized the path in his head.

The paths of the mirror maze are all one-way corners, and there are no forks. Moreover, the turn at the intersection is not a common 90-degree right-angle turn. The angle between the two roads is more like an obtuse angle of about 135 degrees.

From the first time he met the corridor where "mother" was mirrored, to seeing his mother's mirror image again, he circled a big circle and walked through 8 corners.

Eight obtuse angles of 8 degrees form a figure...

If you look down from a high altitude, it should be a maze similar to "Bamen Dunjia". The terrain of the entire maze looks like an Eight Diagrams array!

The mirror projects memory, allowing the people in his memory to attack him and torture his spirit.The eight-door maze confuses his judgment on the direction. If he continues to move forward, he will circle the maze all the time, no matter how much he goes around, he will not be able to get out.

Then, devastated, he would die at the hands of one of his closest relatives.

The difficulty of the Nightmare Chamber of Secrets really does not allow people to survive!

Had it not been for Xiao Lou's constant calmness and quick judgment of the terrain of the maze, he would never have been able to get out of this maze.

Xiao Lou immediately used a card - the invisibility cloak.

This card accompanied him through many secret rooms. Now, due to the rules of the double king's secret room, as long as it is used, it will be immediately invalidated. But there is no way, he must use the time of the invisibility cloak to find the exit of the maze as soon as possible.

After disappearing, those chasing him lost their target in an instant, the palace lantern was covered by Xiao Lou's cloak, and the surroundings returned to darkness.

Xiao Lou continued to grope forward based on his memory.

He remembered that when he brought Liu Qiao and Ye Qi into the hospital, he was walking due north, and he saw the image of grandma in the corridor.In this maze, he saw his grandma in the corridor at the fifth corner. If the background settings of the nightmare chamber and the normal chamber are consistent, then the direction represented by the fifth corridor is true north.

In the Eight Gates Dunjia Algorithm, the Eight Gates include the three auspicious gates of opening, rest, and birth, the three fierce gates of death, shock, and injury, and the two neutral gates of Du Gate and Jing Gate. , he clearly remembered that the five elements of the "Shengmen" belonged to earth, and it was located in the Gen Palace in the northeast.After the beginning of spring, all things revived and all things were born on earth, so it was named "Shengmen".

The fifth corridor is due north, up north, down south, left west and right east, and the road near the right side of the fifth corridor represents the northeast direction of Shengmen.

Relying on his memory, Xiao Lou used the time of invisibility to quickly come to the corridor representing the northeast direction.

There are many mirrors in this corridor. Xiao Lou counted the number of mirrors. The mirror in the middle was pointing to the northeast. He stopped hesitating, took a step forward, and pushed forward——

Sure enough, the mirror was pushed away.

My own analysis is correct!

Xiao Lou was overjoyed, and hurried into the road behind the mirror.

There was still darkness in front of him, he walked a dozen steps wearing the invisibility cloak, and suddenly, a soft light appeared in the corridor ahead, exactly the same as the light of a palace lantern.Xiao Lou walked towards that light, and as soon as he walked around the corner, he met a familiar face.

——It's Yu Hanjiang!

He held a black submachine gun in his hand, his body was covered with blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. The man was full of hostility, like Shura who returned from hell!

Xiao Lou recognized Yu Hanjiang himself at a glance, but he was worried that Yu Hanjiang would mistake him for an illusion and attack him. Xiao Lou did not take off the invisibility cloak, but walked to Yu Hanjiang's side while he was invisible.

Yu Hanjiang noticed a gust of wind blowing beside him vigilantly. He just raised his gun, but the next moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Hanjiang, it's me."

Complex emotions suddenly surged in Yu Hanjiang's bloodshot eyes, and the finger holding the trigger even trembled slightly.

Xiao Lou stretched out his hand, gently placed it on the back of his hand, and said softly, "I am Xiao Lou."

The temperature from the back of his hand was slightly cold, which gradually calmed down Yu Hanjiang's spirit that was on the verge of mania.Although he couldn't see the other party, the simple physical contact, the familiar body temperature and touch made Yu Hanjiang instantly certain that the person beside him was Xiao Lou.

Yu Hanjiang held his hand back forcefully, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you also in the Nightmare Chamber?"

Xiao Lou smiled wryly, "We were all eliminated."

Yu Hanjiang's face was extremely ugly: "Did my illness not be cured, did it infect you?"

Xiao Lou was taken aback—it seemed that Yu Hanjiang had a high fever at the time and didn't know what happened. He subconsciously thought it was a serious illness and infected himself.

Xiao Lou shook his head and said softly, "It was Liu Qiao who did it."

Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "What did you say? Liu Qiao?"

"Well, Liu Qiao killed me, and then killed you who I carried in my pocket at the time and had a high fever."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

Xiao Lou explained: "This incident is very strange. I don't believe that Xiao Liu will suddenly change his personality and kill us both. It is very likely that she was replaced by the hunter. I clearly remember that she and Ye Qi At the same time, they were missing in the maze, when I asked them, Ye Qi replied immediately, but Liu Qiao only replied after a few seconds—the accident probably happened within those few seconds.”

Yu Hanjiang really didn't know what was going on in the maze. He frowned more and more when he heard Xiao Lou's description.

Xiao Lou paused and said calmly: "Anyway, we have to find a way to survive from the nightmare chamber. Only in this way can we return to our teammates. What I worry about is that the hunter who replaced Liu Qiao will continue to Kill other people. And Liu Qiao himself may be in danger."

Yu Hanjiang simply nodded: "Okay, let's talk about leaving the Nightmare Chamber first."
