The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

After seeing Gui Yuanzhang's letter, Lu Jiuchuan's face immediately became solemn. He frowned and read the letter three times from beginning to end. The words on this letter were indeed written by Gui Lao himself—could it be that Gui Lao became Hunter, is it for undercover?

Just as he was thinking carefully, the tragic howling of wolves suddenly came from outside.

Lu Jiuchuan approached Lao Mo vigilantly: "The wolves outside are suddenly howling so fiercely, is something wrong?"

Lao Mo looked nervous: "I don't know, don't you want to launch a general attack on us?"

Lu Jiuchuan clenched the sharp sword in his hand and looked around quickly.Fortunately, Lao Mo was quick-witted, and there were no windows in the model room, and the four walls were sealed. He heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the four walls are all cement, and the wolves can't open it for the time being."

The footsteps of a large number of wild wolves running could be heard outside, like a mighty army and horses.However, the wolves ran in the opposite direction, and the howling gradually faded away. It was deafening at the beginning, and then completely disappeared.

Soon, the surroundings became extremely quiet.

Lu Jiuchuan perked up his ears in doubt, and found that the wolves stopped barking, so he couldn't help wondering: "Going away?"

Lao Mo looked blank: "It seems to be gone."

Just as the two of them were about to go to the door to look at the cat's eyes, they heard someone knock on the door suddenly: "Is Lao Mo inside?"

It was Xiao Lou's voice.

Lu Jiuchuan was overjoyed: "Xiao Lou?"

The people outside seemed a little surprised when they heard the voice: "Brother Ninth? Why are you here?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Let's meet first."

Xiao Lou said: "Old Mo, open the door, we have led the wolves away."

Just now, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, and Qu Wanyue happened to pass by here. The wolves howled wildly when they found them, and surrounded them in an instant. It was impossible for Yu Hanjiang to deal with thousands of wild wolves alone. Xiao Lou had no choice. He simply tied the braised pork to the white silk card and threw it into the distance with the help of the wind. The wolves were affected by the skill of the braised pork and quickly chased after it.

Then they found a house here, which at first glance was Lao Mo's model room.

There is no window in the model room, but Lao Mo left a door for escape.The anti-theft door was so thick that ordinary beasts couldn't force it open. Lao Mo walked to the door and saw not only Xiao Lou, but also Yu Hanjiang and Qu Wanyue from the cat's eyes.

Lao Mo said vigilantly: "Professor Xiao, you usually play escape room games, and you are also the administrator of the largest escape room forum in Jiangzhou. The forum ID is Xiaolou listening to the spring rain overnight?"

Xiao Loudao: "It's not the administrator, it's the moderator, and the ID is Xiaolou Tingyu."

Lao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, this Professor Xiao is real!

I just heard Lu Jiuchuan suddenly said: "Is Han Jiang here too? I remember that when you were 7 years old, you were locked up at home to do your homework. If you didn't want to do it, you secretly jumped out of the window to play, and broke your leg. I will take you there." hospital."

Yu Hanjiang: "..."

Xiao Lou glanced at Yu Hanjiang, and seemed to be saying, was he so naughty when he was a child?

Yu Hanjiang knocked on the iron door expressionlessly: "Open the door."

We can't blame everyone for being suspicious. "Fake teammates" appear in the secret room at every turn, making it hard to guard against.

What I talked about just now is not a secret code agreed in advance, but what everyone mentioned in the usual chat. What Lu Jiuchuan said is a secret that only Yu Hanjiang knows, and it can be matched.

Lu Jiuchuan gestured to open the door, and Lao Mo opened the anti-lock knob with confidence.

When the three of them entered the model room, Lao Mo immediately locked the door.Yu Hanjiang walked up to Brother Nine and asked in a low voice, "Why are you also eliminated, who made the move?"

Lao Mo took the initiative to say: "It's Mr. Gui, we never dreamed that Gui Lao is actually the ghost of the team!"

Qu Wanyue looked surprised: "What? Isn't the ghost who is planted beside us Liu Qiao's sister? Guilao..."

Xiao Lou couldn't digest so much information for a while, and looked at Lu Jiuchuan suspiciously.

Lu Jiuchuan didn't explain, and simply handed the letter Gui Lao left for him to Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang watched it together, they looked at each other, Xiao Lou asked: "Ninth brother, do you believe him?"

Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "I hope it's true. I've only known Gui Lao for a year, but he doesn't seem like a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has lived a long time, and he can see many things very openly. And In reality, I remember that when I was old, I believed in Buddhism more. Ordinary people who believe in Buddhism don’t kill innocent people casually, do they?”

Xiao Lou recalled that Zhou often encountered the Six Paths of Reincarnation at that time, and Gui Lao really understood these things better.

Lu Jiuchuan said: "He was very decisive when he killed me, and I didn't even come back to my senses. It's possible that this was a show for the other party, because Xu Muran, the leader of the hunter, appeared. This Xu Muran is actually our former Captain, what a fucking bastard! He died in the Nightmare Chamber and chose to be a hunter!"

Yu Hanjiang quickly tore the letter into pieces, and said in a low voice: "Brother, think about it carefully. I came out of Plum Blossom J's nightmare chamber and met three teammates in the main city. Is there anything wrong in the process?"

Lu Jiuchuan carefully recalled the experience at that time, and said: "Plum Blossom J's nightmare secret room, the eliminated people did not meet together. I was alone in a secret room, and Tang Ci and the others were the same. After I came out, I went to our stronghold underground factory first. When we came to the underground factory, we found Gui Lao waiting for us there, followed by Hua Ying and Tang Ci."

Xiao Lou asked a question: "Gui Lao's strength is not the strongest in the team, he is the first to walk out of the nightmare chamber, do you have any doubts?"

Lu Jiuchuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "At that time, I was seriously injured, Tang Ci broke his leg, Gui Lao and Hua Ying were also covered in blood, we were too busy to treat, and we didn't have time to think about these details."

Xiao Lou asked sharply: "What about the contract? Didn't you check it?"

Lu Jiuchuan said helplessly: "The contract is on me. I really didn't think about it at the time. When I woke up and checked again, I found that there were only four names left on the contract: me, Tang Ci, Gui Lao and Huaying. was erased."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.

If it were them, they survived the catastrophe, were seriously injured, and their lives were dying, so it must be more important to treat them first.They probably didn't expect that Gui Lao had become a hunter.

Yu Hanjiang said: "It seems that the name of the person who died in the ordinary secret room will disappear from the contract book, and if he survives the nightmare secret room, it will reappear in the book. Gui Lao took advantage of Jiu Ge's coma and took away the contract book , signed his name, pretending that he survived the nightmare chamber."

Xiao Lou was puzzled: "But since he didn't survive and chose to become a hunter, why can he sign the contract? I remember that the contract must be signed by the challenger. After signing, it will bind the team and send it to the same team. A secret room."

A thought suddenly flashed in Lu Jiuchuan's mind: "Pen, he has a pen!"

Xiao Lou was startled, and quickly understood: "You mean, Guilao's pen can sign the contract?"

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "His pen can write on the surface of any object, and it changes color. He used his own pen to write the three words 'Gu Yuan Zhang' in red on the contract. On the surface, he signed it. , In fact, the contract does not recognize him, and he is not bound as a teammate with us! His name is just floating on the surface of the paper, and he will not be pulled when the challenger is sent in the secret room. He can go to Q with us The secret rooms of the two teams, K and K, may have gone through the hunter passage?"

Xiao Lou followed this line of thinking and quickly analyzed: "The hunter can also enter the team secret room. In the Q secret room, Gui Lao stays in the Mermaid Palace as a hunter, with the goal of assassinating Liu Qiao and Lao Mo; in the K secret room, everyone Born in a mass grave, but don't forget, the big boss of K's secret room is the owner of the mass grave, and you can also enter the mass grave through the hunter's passage when you are old!"

On the surface, Gui Lao seemed to be teleported to the secret room with them, and his name was also written on the contract.But in fact, all of this is a camouflage, and it is an impeccable camouflage!

Yu Hanjiang said: "That is to say, the contract is the only means to test whether a person is a challenger, but Gui Yuanzhang, as a hunter, has a universal pen that can forge the signature on the contract, Make people mistake him for a challenger?"

Xiao Lou pondered: "Perhaps, this is the reason why he became an undercover agent. Only if he draws the [pen] card, no one will suspect that an undercover agent is next to the challenger. Other hunters, the name Can't even sign it?"

Everyone: "..."

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this is the case, the depth of the old man's palace is really admirable!

I remember that at that time the new contract was handed over to the nine brothers to sign, and Gui Lao was the last one to sign it. Xiao Lou didn't doubt him, and naturally he didn't notice that he used the quill pen that came with the contract when he signed it. Or use his own pen.

Pen, a simple card was used to the extreme by Gui Lao, and he actually played a "Mission: Impossible" drama.

Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath and looked serious: "I am willing to believe him now. If he stood on the side of the hunter, he would have countless opportunities to attack us. At that time, we were tracked by the hunter in the tomb of the headless general. When the ancient tomb is about to collapse, he only needs to block the exit, and he can bury us all alive."

Xiao Loudao: "There is also the mass grave in K's secret room. Ninth brother, your clues are transmitted across time, and you also rely on his letters. If he fiddles with the clues, Han Jiang and I will not be able to solve the mystery successfully."

Lao Mo and Qu Wanyue were stupefied when they heard it, and they finally understood it here.

Qu Wanyue tremblingly said: "He didn't tell us, I can understand, after all, the more people who know, the easier it is to show his feet. But you also said that he has many opportunities in Q secret room and K secret room, why should he keep Wait until the Double Kings Chamber to do it?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "I guess it's because we can go back if the Chamber of Secrets of the Two Kings is successfully cleared, and the hunter may also get the highest reward—this time the Chamber of Secrets is the decisive battle, and of course the ultimate move must be left at the end. "

Xiao Lou nodded, agreeing with Yu Hanjiang's statement: "Perhaps, Gui Lao relied on the unique advantage of the card world that he can sign the contract with his own pen, and made some deals with the upper management of the Hunter, and deliberately delayed To the Chamber of the Double Kings. So the previous few times, although we encountered the trouble of being chased by the hunters, we all survived. It is precisely because of this that the hunters did not fully trust him, so he was decisive Kill Brother Nine and Lao Mo to prove his loyalty."

Lao Mo suddenly said: "No, he also killed Mr. Tang? Why didn't we see Mr. Tang?"

Lu Jiuchuan's face changed: "What did you say?! Tang Ci also..."

He was the first to be stabbed to death, and Tang Ci was still alive when he closed his eyes.But Lao Mo was the last to die, Lao Mo said: "I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Gui threw Mr. Tang into the fire, and Mr. Tang was burned to death!"

Xiao Lou said firmly: "Tang Ci will not die."

Lu Jiuchuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Xiao Loudao: "His defensive mech is not afraid of the fire of hell, let alone the fire set by the hunter. Gui Lao deliberately saved Tang Ci, so he threw Tang Ci into the fire. The hunter probably thought that Tang Ci's defense The mecha has been used up, but I know that when the mecha was disassembled to make a stove, Mr. Tang actually kept one just in case."

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Kill me and keep Tang Ci. Maybe Gui Lao thinks Tang Ci is smarter than me?"

Yu Hanjiang glanced at his elder brother, as if to say: You are quite self-aware.

Xiao Lou felt much relieved.In fact, all the way to the present, he often wonders, is there a way for them to pass the card room?Hunters are so strong, and their number is many times that of them. They can also replace the identity of the natives of the card world and even pretend to be their teammates. Under such a terrible disadvantage, how to find a turning point?

Now, he has found it.

Thank you Gui Lao for being so far-sighted, personally becoming a hunter, and finding out the details of the hostile forces.

As the predecessors said - going back in time, letting a person go back to the past with memories, changing everything that is about to happen, and eliminating the hunters in advance is the only way to break the situation.

Xiao Lou looked at his teammates and said: "Mr. Tang is very smart, he was let go by Gui Lao, he must have thought that Gui Lao is a double-faced undercover agent, next, they should find a way to find out the details of the hunter, Get enough information, and then find the right time to turn back time."

Yu Hanjiang said: "What do you think is the right time?"

Xiao Loudao: "The best way is to wait for us to go back. Therefore, we must find the exit of the nightmare chamber as soon as possible."
