The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

Xiao Lou had a hunch that his and Yu Hanjiang's guesses about the rules of the card world were getting closer and closer to the truth.

As early as in the Zhou Chang secret room in the "Tomb of the Headless General" in the City of the Past, when the hunters followed up the ancient tomb, Xiao Lou had speculated that there must be people who knew them very well in the hunter organization .

Tang Ci also said that the intelligence agency's information may have been leaked out, so the card information of their 12-member team will be accurately grasped by the hunters.But at that time, Xiao Lou hadn't thought that the hunter organization was actually composed of human beings. He thought that some traitors appeared among the human beings and joined the hunter alliance.

Now it seems that Ye Qi's idea is the most reasonable.Xiaoye once guessed that the card world is like a massively multiplayer online game. It is divided into two camps from the very beginning. What the challengers need to do is to clear the secret room and draw cards to get cards. What the hunter needs to do is to find a way to kill Challenger, so as to obtain the card on the challenger.

Both are about survival, but with completely different goals.

As challengers, they still follow the rules, stick to the bottom line, and never kill innocent people indiscriminately.The hunters have already lost their humanity in the long-term mission. They have become cold-blooded and numb. Killing people is like chopping vegetables. They don't care about the feelings of the other party. He stabbed you in the back when you were unsuspecting.

Xiao Lou was also not vigilant enough at the time, so he was stabbed to death by Liu Qiao.

Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help asking in a low voice: "You never doubted Liu Qiao?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "Liu Qiao cannot be a hunter. We have known her for so long. Although I don't know her 100%, I believe in Xiao Liu's personality. She will never kill me just to survive."

Yu Hanjiang said: "It seems that Liu Qiao who killed you was pretended to be a hunter?"

Xiao Lou is also more inclined to this kind of statement, he said: "Xiao Liu has a [Twins] card on him, which can copy people he has seen within half an hour. At that time, there must have been hunters hiding in the maze, and Liu Qiao and Ye Qi pulled away at the same time, and then, the hunter managed to control Liu Qiao, took her [Twin Card] and pretended to be her, then went back to the corridor and attacked me."

Yu Hanjiang said: "The hunter's sneak attack has obviously been planned for a long time. You have always been cautious. If you suddenly meet Liu Qiao, you will definitely exchange codes with her or use some questions to confirm her identity, so they caught her. The opportunity of the labyrinth, in just a few seconds, is a steal, so you don't have time to think about it."

It took less than 10 seconds for Liu Qiao to disappear in front of Xiao Lou again.

Xiao Lou really did not expect that Liu Qiao had changed in such a short period of time. He frowned and said, "The hunters have always been very aware of our movements. I suspect that they are the ones who let the rats bite you. Medicine, and then build a fake hospital to wait for me to take the bait. Liu Qiao is a time bomb they put in the team, and she will definitely continue to kill other teammates."

When Xiao Lou said this, his face turned pale: "At that time, there were only me, Liu Qiao, and Ye Qi in the maze. Ye Qi was not around when Liu Qiao killed me. Next, Liu Qiao will definitely kill Ye Qi. Then take streptomycin and go back to rescue Longsen, gain everyone's trust, and then find a chance to do something to everyone..."

The more Yu Hanjiang thought about it, the more frightened he became. Assuming that Liu Qiao could really get into the team, maybe she would kill her teammates one by one, and let everyone be wiped out in the Double King's Chamber!

According to the order in which the contract was signed, the new captain should be handed over to Shao Qingge. I don't know if Mr. Shao and the others can see through the hunter's plot?

Both of them are very worried about the safety of their teammates, but unfortunately, they can't protect themselves now.

When the time for the invisibility cloak came, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang appeared one after another. At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the distance, as if something was crawling in the sand. ground.

Suddenly, several sharp thorns like swords emerged from the sand one after another!

Yu Hanjiang's eyes froze, and he threw Xiao Lou down on the sand, and rolled over a dozen laps in his arms. Xiao Lou rolled on the ground until he became dizzy and ate a lot of sand in his mouth.He quickly judged that those spikes were the tails of poisonous scorpions living in the desert.

The tail of this scorpion is as sharp as a sword, and it is highly poisonous. Once stabbed, the two of them will definitely not survive today.

Xiao Lou tremblingly said, "A swarm of scorpions again?"

Yu Hanjiang tightened his arms hard, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Yes, there are more scorpions here than in the Double King's Chamber, and they can burrow into the sand and move very flexibly."

As soon as the words fell, a huge scorpion tail stabbed out from the ground. Yu Hanjiang, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, pulled Xiao Lou to the side and rolled on the spot. The spike almost rubbed Xiao Lou's ears and pierced the sand. His heart was about to stop beating, and he hugged Yu Hanjiang tightly.

Yu Hanjiang led him to roll and evade in the sand, while raising the submachine gun in his hand, only to hear several harsh gunshots of "bang bang bang" - countless bullets shot out like a torrential rain, and a large amount of blood was soon stained. The sand is red!

Yu Hanjiang used fierce firepower to suppress the scorpions, forcing them back several meters, but Xiao Lou knew that this was not a long-term solution, if this continued, they would soon be overwhelmed by the scorpions.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Han Jiang, let me try a card."

Yu Hanjiang nodded, helped Xiao Lou get up from the sand, and Xiao Lou simply summoned Su Shi——

When will the bright moon come, ask the wine to the sky.

Su Shi releases a limited ultimate move, which can turn the current scene into a "full moon night" for 8 hours, and stop all actions of all targets within 500 meters for 1 minute.At the same time, Su Shi can refresh the skills of all character cards and create a piece of Dongpo meat.

Xiao Lou released three skills in a row, and then saw the [Su Shi] card shattered into pieces in his hand.

He put the Dongpo meat in a mineral water bottle and put it away, looked up at the sky that turned into a full moon night—for some reason, when the split sky was replaced by the "full moon night" created by Su Shi, not only The scorpion swarm disappeared, and the desert suddenly became extremely quiet, even the sound of wind and sand disappeared, and it seemed that only the breathing of two people remained in the empty space.

This strange silence made Xiao Lou very uneasy. He looked at the sky and said softly: "The sun representing the king has been covered, and the crescent moon of Xiao Wang has also disappeared. The 'full moon night' created by Su Shi can last forever." 8 hours, during these 8 hours, will we be safe?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Be careful, the Nightmare Chamber of Secrets shouldn't give us too much rest time."

The two waited in place for a while, and there were no animals around to attack them again. Xiao Lou asked, "Do you want to go forward?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's go. Wait where you are, those people in the maze might chase them out."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, familiar footsteps sounded behind him.

Sure enough, Yu Hanjiang's relatives and colleagues came out with batons, guns and other weapons.

Yu Hanjiang's face darkened, and he hurriedly dragged Xiao Lou to escape—fortunately, he had copied a [Body Light as a Swallow] card with Mr. Shao's money and willfulness. Throwing it into the air as a landing point, stepped on the gun with both feet nimbly, picked up Xiao Lou, and flew out like an arrow from the string!

Although those "relatives" are very powerful in combat, they can't fly lightly.Within a moment, Yu Hanjiang left them far behind.

I don't know how far it flew, and there is an endless desert under our feet, without any traces of small animals, so Yu Hanjiang fell back to the sand in peace, the two of them were slightly relieved, Xiao Lou suggested: "Let's eat something first , replenish energy?"

He could see that Yu Hanjiang was dealing with his relatives and colleagues in the maze just now, and after getting out of the maze, he encountered a poisonous scorpion again. He was exhausted and his face turned pale.

Yu Hanjiang was indeed exhausted. He didn't dare to be careless, so he nodded and said, "I still have a supply card with me. Have you run out of supplies? We need to save some food."

Xiao Lou's card had already been used in the Double King's Chamber, and when Yu Hanjiang had a high fever, he also fed the remaining mineral water to the other party, but there was still a pack of biscuits in his pocket.

Xiao Lou took out the biscuit and handed it to Yu Hanjiang: "Eat it."

Yu Hanjiang simply opened the packing bag and gave him half: "Each half, you also need to replenish your strength."

Facing his deep eyes, Xiao Lou didn't hesitate anymore, took the biscuit and said, "Okay. Do you want to share that piece of braised pork?"

Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "Let's keep it, it might be useful."

The fragrant meat is really a great temptation for the hungry, but they are reluctant to eat it, because the braised pork has another function besides eating it, which can make a wide range of animals gather around it smelling the fragrance, and in case of If you encounter a wild animal attack in the future, maybe you can save your life.

The two sat on the sand and ate a packet of biscuits.

Keep Yu Hanjiang's supply card first, because Xiao Lou doesn't know how long they will survive in this harsh environment...

At the moment when they had just finished eating the biscuits, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.

The man's whole body was covered with yellow sand, almost blending into the surrounding desert, looking in a mess.He was walking slowly, limping as he walked, as if injured.

Xiao Lou immediately stood up vigilantly, Yu Hanjiang even narrowed his eyes, and clenched the pistol in his pocket.

The other party stopped about ten meters away from the two of them, his voice trembling slightly: "Professor Xiao, Team Yu? Is it you?"

Xiao Lou was stunned: "...Ye Qi?"

The boy's face was blurred by the yellow sand, and his clothes were the same color as the sand, so he couldn't make out his appearance at all, but the voice sounded like Ye Qi.Just as Xiao Lou was about to take a step forward, Yu Hanjiang suddenly took Xiao Lou's hand lightly.

Xiao Lou understood, stopped and asked vigilantly, "Why are you here?"

Ye Qi's voice was very frustrated: "I was killed by Liu Qiao."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other with more serious expressions.

***

Inside the Double King's Secret Room.

Shao Qingge's expression turned extremely ugly.

Because, there was an extra [team contract] out of thin air in his hand.

Since Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang died successively, he was the third to sign and became the new captain.He couldn't believe it, how could someone as strong as Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang die suddenly? !

Before he had time to think about it, Chu Huaying's voice came from the earphones: "Mr. Shao, call your teammates!"

Shao Qingge took a deep breath and put down Li Qingzhao's marker beside the vineyard.

Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified 5 times, this is the last time, and the card will become invalid when it is used up.

It took 5 minutes for the marker to call his teammates. Shao Qingge used this time to sneak into the vineyard quickly, picked a lot of grapes and put them in his backpack.

Five minutes passed quickly, and teammates appeared one by one.

Everyone's complexion was very bad, Lu Jiuchuan was even more furious, the veins on his clenched fists were bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, he stared at Shao Qingge and asked, "What's going on? How could Xiao Lou and Hanjiang die?! "

Tang Ci shook his hand lightly, and said in a low voice, "Brother Jiu, calm down."

Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath, resisting the urge to beat someone, and looked at Shao Qingge: "Boss Shao, you explain."

Shao Qingge frowned: "I don't know either. We were acting in teams at that time, Huaying and I were on the left and right, and Xiao Lou took Liu Qiao and Ye Qi to the front." He looked around, suddenly startled: " Where is Ye Qi?!"

Teammates, you looked at me and I looked at you, and soon found that Ye Qi was not here.

Qu Wanyue said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Shao, you are the new team leader. Quickly read the contract. Is Xiaoye's name still there?"

Shao Qingge opened the contract and took a look, his face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He is always smiling, and everyone has never seen his face look so ugly.The transformation of the insect king was not over yet, Shao Qingge's red eyes were as terrifying as an angry beast, for a moment, everyone fell silent, looking at him anxiously, for fear of hearing the worst result.

After a while, Shao Qingge closed his eyes with a painful expression: "Ye Qi is not here anymore."

Everyone: "..."

He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qiao, his gaze was as sharp as a sword: "Xiao Liu, tell me, what happened?"

Liu Qiao's face was as pale as paper, and her shoulders were trembling slightly. Holding back her sobs, she said in a low voice, "We went to the hospital to find medicine, but we walked into a maze of mirrors, and there were mirrors on both sides of the maze. Many phantoms of relatives. Ye Qi and I were pulled into a secret room full of mirrors, Professor Xiao told us how to get out, and the result..."

She paused, looked up at Shao Qingge, and said with red eyes: "I went back to the corridor and found Professor Xiao lying in a pool of blood, with someone stabbing him in the chest. There must be hunters in the maze! I noticed that No, I hurriedly turned around and walked back to the mirror chamber, I didn't see Ye Qi, I don't know if he also met the hunter."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help frowning: "Xiao Lou has always been cautious. How did the hunter approach him and kill him with one blow? He has a heart-to-heart connection with me, but I didn't sense him sending it just now." danger signal."

Tang Ci looked at Liu Qiao, then looked at Lu Jiuchuan, and said calmly: "Xiao Lou should have been killed by someone using a card similar to 'One Hit Kill', otherwise, it would take a few seconds for a person to die , he can use the team resurrection card to give himself another life. Obviously, the accident happened so suddenly that Xiao Lou didn't even have time to activate the resurrection card."

He paused, glanced at the teammates around him, and said: "What is certain now is that first, the hunter who killed Xiao Lou has a powerful card in his hand that can kill people instantly; second, The hunter used some unknown means to approach Xiao Lou and killed him without him noticing or not being alert."

Unaware, unsuspecting, the meanings of the two words are completely different.

Lu Jiuchuan quickly understood.

If it was "unaware", the opponent might have used a card like "Invisibility" to approach Xiao Lou.And if Xiao Lou acted "unsuspectingly", then the biggest possibility is...the other party pretended to be a teammate that Xiao Lou trusted very much.

Lu Jiuchuan suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Qiao, his gaze was very sharp.But Liu Qiao did not show any guilt. She took a deep breath, met Lu Jiuchuan's gaze, took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and said, "This is the streptomycin I found in the maze, the mirrored room where I am, Behind one of the mirrors is the pharmacy of the hospital. I stumbled into the pharmacy by mistake and found this bottle of medicine. Later, I also lost my way. Mr. Shao’s team summoned me out. If you don’t believe me, you can go again. Investigate."

Teammates looked at each other.

Liu Qiao paused, choked up, and said, "Professor Xiao was assassinated, and I'm also very sad. I understand everyone's feelings. If you doubt me, you can leave me alone in the desert, or simply kill me, so that everyone will be able to escape." I will go to the Nightmare Chamber to find him!"

Seeing her trembling shoulders, Qu Wanyue softened her heart, and said softly, "Xiaoqiao, how could we abandon you? It's just that Professor Xiao, Team Yu and Ye Qi were assassinated one after another, and it was hard for everyone to accept it for a while. You Of course we are very happy to have survived, but only you survived, it is a normal reaction for everyone to be puzzled, don't mind..."

Liu Qiao nodded: "I know, I don't blame everyone, but I really don't know what happened in the maze. I don't know if this bottle of streptomycin is real or not. Brother Long Sen's condition is getting worse and worse. Don't try to save him?"

Qu Wanyue looked at Shao Qingge and Brother Jiu with inquiring eyes.

Lu Jiuchuan frowned and remained silent.

On the other hand, Shao Qingge said calmly: "Let's save Long Sen first. We have half the time left before the customs clearance. We can't lose any more people. Although Xiao Lou and the others were plotted against, I believe they will definitely be able to come back from the Nightmare Chamber."

Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other, and the latter shook his head slightly. Lu Jiuchuan stopped targeting Liu Qiao, turned his head away, and said in a low voice: "The nightmare chamber of the two kings must be more difficult than what we encountered at the beginning. Hope they survive."
