The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

When Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang first entered the Nightmare Chamber, they were in a maze full of mirrors.

The labyrinth has eight corners, and there are nine mirrors on the left and right sides of each corridor, all of which are their relatives, but those relatives are like killing machines without emotion, chasing them and beating them, Xiao Lou Almost being chased out of the psychological shadow.

Fortunately, he was calm enough, and quickly analyzed that the structure of the maze was based on the gossip diagram made by Qimen Dunjia, and the eight directions represented the eight gates. He found the Shengmen based on the knowledge in his memory.

Now that the mirror maze is mentioned again, the image of being chased and killed by his parents flashed in Yu Hanjiang's mind. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Mirror maze? Are you sure where the exit is?"

Xiao Loudao: "I'm not [-]% sure, I'm just speculating."

Lu Jiuchuan said bluntly: "No matter what your guess is, it's better to have a direction than to wander around aimlessly. Time is limited, let's go to the location of the mirror maze first, and explain it on the way."

The other two also endorsed the decision.

Chu Huaying asked, "Professor Xiao, do you remember the location of the maze?"

Xiao Loudao: "When Han Jiang and I came out, we walked through the Shengmen in the northeast direction, and then stayed away from the maze. If we want to go back, we should go in the southwest direction. Fortunately, there is Polaris in the half of the sky where the moon hangs high."

He looked up carefully to find Polaris, then determined the southwest, and said, "This way."

The three immediately followed him.

After walking a few steps, Lu Jiuchuan continued to ask: "How did you think that the exit is in the mirror maze?"

Xiao Lou said: "Challengers can choose to die completely after being eliminated. Those who are not reconciled can join the hunter camp in exchange for survival time. According to the elimination rate of the previous secret room, the elimination rate of Zhou Chang's secret room alone is 80%. More people were eliminated in the stage. In the end, the number of people who chose to become hunters was several times that of challengers. Just looking at the number of people, there is no fairness at all."

Xiao Lou looked up at the sky where the sun and the moon accounted for half, and said in a low voice: "However, look at the sky now, the daytime represented by the sun when the sun and the moon shine at the same time, is not completely swallowed by the night represented by the moon. It presents an evenly matched scene. That means that even if the king and the little king have different camps, the little king will not let the little king completely suppress the king."

He paused, and then calculated a number: "Assume that among the 8 million challengers in the card world, 2 million choose to die completely in the end, 5 million become hunters, and 1 million become challengers. The terrifying gap in the number of people, the challengers should have collapsed long ago. However, there are still challengers who are still living in the main city, and even walked to the double king's chamber like us."

Yu Hanjiang quickly understood what he meant: "That is to say, no matter how strong the hunters are, Xiao Wang still has some rules to restrict them. And no matter how few challengers there are, the king will leave one for the challengers. A way out?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "This is the check and balance. Otherwise, the balance of the card world will completely tip to a certain camp. If I guess right, maybe we have seen the big and small kings in the main city."

Lu Jiuchuan was slightly taken aback: "Have you seen it? When?"

Xiao Loudao: "Do you still remember the twins wearing masks? My elder brother opened a bar in Sun City, and my younger brother appeared in Liuxi Village a long time ago."

Yu Hanjiang was suddenly enlightened: "These brothers behaved strangely. They both wore hunter masks on their faces. At that time, we suspected that they were related to the hunter organization. After a long investigation, we found nothing. We only know that the two brothers seem to have conflicts. We When I sneaked into the bar that time, I happened to see my brother locked up my brother."

Xiao Loudao: "My brother is the white fox on the forum, his real name is Bai Jinyu. He has been encouraging challengers to work hard to clear the level and return to the original world; my brother's whereabouts are mysterious, and I can't find any information. What's even more strange is that my brother opened a bar by the sea. The time was half a year ago, but my younger brother met us in Liuxi Village, the novice secret room two months ago. Assuming that the two brothers had an accident and were involved in the card secret room together, it is impossible for the elder brother to go to the main city half a year ago. My younger brother was still in Xinshou Village two months ago."

Lu Jiuchuan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "You mean, this pair of brothers may be the incarnation of King and King in the card world?!"

"If this is the case, then all the strange things can be explained." Xiao Lou paused, looked at the strange sky, and analyzed carefully: "The sun and the moon shine together, half day and half night, contradictions coexist."

"My brother wears the mask of the hunter, but he has been helping the challengers. Even after the concert stampede, he summoned a large number of challenger team captains and encouraged them to persevere and pass the card room."

"As the leader of the hunters, my younger brother can naturally ignore the time difference and enter and exit any secret room at will. His whereabouts are mysterious, and no information can be found. Maybe he went to Liuxi Village to observe us in a 'private visit'."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Because we broke the world record in a row, did he notice it?"

Xiao Loudao: "It's possible. The challengers who broke the world record in a row will naturally grow into a team with the strength to pass the level in the later stage. He was probably curious, so he went to Liuxi Village to have a look? I remember when he took things from the air and took us away directly. The opal was obtained with great difficulty, but Mr. Tang couldn't find the [Different Object] card at all."

Chu Huaying listened to Xiao Lou's speculation, and the more she listened, the more she felt it made sense.

She frowned and said: "With Tang Ci's method, I can't find out my brother's background at all, which means that there is something wrong with this person's background. The brother who runs a bar in Sun City, although there is a [ White Fox]'s registration ID, but did not leave any information about the team. Without a team, how could he get so many strategies to help challengers clear the low-level secret room?"

The mysterious twin brothers behaved strangely, and everyone couldn't figure out what their position was.To help the challenger, or to help the hunter?Listening to Xiao Lou's explanation now, the three teammates felt that their eyes suddenly became clear.

The elder brother is helping the challenger, and the younger brother is helping the hunter!

The twins, the incarnations of the big and small kings, actually met them in the main city a long time ago, but they didn't realize it?

I don't know if Xiao Lou's reasoning was correct, but a gust of wind suddenly blew in the distance, and the sun and moon in the sky were blocked by dark clouds at the same time, but fortunately, the dark clouds dissipated quickly.Xiao Lou continued to walk southwest, while whispering, "Similarly, it can be speculated that the four gatekeepers are actually divided into two camps."

Yu Hanjiang followed up and said, "Do hearts and diamonds tend to be kings, and spades and clubs tend to be kings?"

Lu Jiuchuan pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It seems to be the case. The world of hearts and squares is an orderly world, especially in hearts. Although the murderer is terrible, he still abides by the basic rule of 'killing for life'. Come on, we need to play the role of the police to catch the criminals. The square maze, as long as the mechanism is cracked, the exit can also be found."

Chu Huaying followed closely: "On the contrary, spades and clubs don't follow the rules at all. Clubs' challenge game is about to die; spades' survival mode is full of pitfalls. These two types of secret rooms are also where hunters appear in large numbers. In the hardest-hit area, we encountered hunters ten times stronger than us in Plum Blossom J!"

The four gatekeepers and the double kings were divided into two camps. Heart squares and the king stood on one side, spades clubs and the little king stood on the other side. All the cards in the poker were also divided into red and black.

The challenger camp of the red side abides by the rules of the human world, and the final reward is to return to the human world.

The camp of hunters placed in black, the strong survive, don't follow the rules, and you don't have to be responsible for killing people. You can do whatever it takes to survive. Therefore, the ultimate reward is to get eternal life in the card world.

The mystery of the hunter that has puzzled them for a long time can be explained in this way.

Lu Jiuchuan gave Xiao Lou a thumbs up in admiration: "As expected of Professor Xiao, he can deduce the core secret of the card world! The sun and the moon together represent this!"

Chu Huaying said: "You said that the exit of the nightmare chamber is in the mirror maze, is that also based on this reasoning?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "I guess, although a large number of relatives appearing in the mirror maze will attack us crazily, but on the other hand, if we want to return to the real world, isn't our initial obsession for our relatives?"

Yu Hanjiang agreed: "Yes, this is a double-edged sword, which is in line with the contradictory characteristics of the big and small kings. Relatives will attack us, but our intention to leave the card world is also for our relatives. Therefore, export It must be in the mirror maze, we need to kill these phantoms of our relatives with our own hands, and escape from the maze in order to obtain real 'rebirth'!"

Xiao Lou concluded: "The real exit of the nightmare chamber is not the door of life, but more likely the door of death."

Do not break or stand.

To die and then to live.
