Card Room - 263. Chapter 365-366

【Chapter 365, The Hunter】

The crowd gathering place is inherently dangerous. What’s more, the headlights on the roof of the gymnasium at this time are just broken. In the dark environment, there are horrible screams everywhere, and people can easily lose their minds.

Everyone is desperately rushing towards the exit.

The consequence of crowding is that more and more people fall to the ground.

At this moment, even if you know that there is someone at your feet and is unwilling to step on the other person, it is impossible to stop, because behind them there are more people squeezing forward and being pushed by the crowd, the body will be uncontrollable Move forward-completely involuntarily.

Some people were squeezed out of the ground with their feet, like sandwich biscuits, caught by the front and back crowd, moving out in the direction of the crowd, their body control is no longer theirs.

The constant screams from the crowd made Xiao Lou’s scalp numb.

He hugged Yu Hanjiang’s back to support himself so as not to be squeezed into the crowd.

You have to think of a way, you can’t let things go on like this. Xiao Lou calmed down quickly and asked in Yu Hanjiang’s ear, “Can you stop them? Can’t squeeze it anymore!”

Area A and Area B are relatively good, very close to the exit. Although there are a large number of spectators rushing out crazy, after they walk out, the number of people in the venue will quickly decrease, and the lights here are not going down. Lose.

Areas C and D are undoubtedly the hardest hit areas of the accident.

That area is located in the deepest part of the stadium, more than 1,000 meters from the exit, and there is a downward staircase in the middle, which is easy to fall when crowded. What’s more, the chandelier over there suddenly fell and injured the audience, causing the crowd to lose control.

Looking at the black and crushing heads in the C and D areas, Yu Hanjiang’s face was gloomy, the surroundings were too noisy, and he couldn’t hear clearly. He had to press Xiao Lou’s ear and whispered: “The hunters have premeditated, they considered. The terrain factors focused the challengers in Zones C and D, which are the farthest from the exit. The chandelier on the roof over there must have been deliberately broken. The star Luo Yan must not be able to get out of it.”

Xiao Lou felt a chill in his back: “Luo Yan is also a hunter?”

In fact, Luo Yan could stop the accident as early as it happened. She is the protagonist of the concert. She has a microphone in her hand. As long as she says to everyone, “Please don’t get excited, everyone sits back to their seats and leaves the venue in an orderly manner, don’t crowd in the aisle”, and the audience calm down. , There would not be such a serious stampede accident.

But what about her?

When the audience screamed out of control, crowded and stepped on each other, the singers on the stage had already fled the scene quickly under the escort of their agents and bodyguards.

She went backstage, when the big stage was empty.

Xiao Lou couldn’t believe that this “goddess” would watch his fans be trampled to death!

In the gymnasium at this time, although a large number of “outsiders” gathered in areas C and D, they could be affected by the screams, and many aborigines in other areas were injured in the crowding.

In order to kill outsiders, they are not merciful to their compatriots? !

The anger in Xiao Lou’s heart was beyond words. He clenched his fist forcefully, and the noise around him was deafening. Even if he shouted loudly, no one would hear it, unless he could walk to the big stage, pick up the microphone, and let everyone. keep Calm.

But the wireless microphone has been taken away. What’s more, he has to go through a corridor from him to the big stage. At this time, the aisle is full of people, and many cards in the main city are banned, and he can’t fly directly over. It would be great if Ye Qi was there. He remembered that Xiaoye had some instrument cards that could be used in the main city.

While he was anxious, there was a sound of piano in Xiao Lou’s ear.

That is the sound of piano.

The melodious notes slid across the eardrums like running water. In the noisy, screaming chaotic gymnasium, the appearance of this piano sound was like a clear spring that extinguished the flames.

Different from the passion and excitement of the rock song at the concert just now, the tune of this piano piece is extremely ethereal and soothing, with soft notes ringing in the ears, clear and agile, as if it was suddenly rainy, with fine drops of water one after another. Fell on the eaves.

——”Kiss the rain”, the mark of rain, a very famous piano piece.

Xiao Lou has listened to this tune before. It is especially suitable for listening carefully when you are alone. This soothing light music makes people feel like you are in a rainy spring day. The irritability in your heart will also be slowed by the soft notes. Eliminate slowly.

Who is playing the piano?

Xiao Lou stood on tiptoe and looked towards the big stage from Yu Hanjiang’s shoulder.

Under the chasing light, sitting a familiar teenager-Ye Qi!

At this time, Ye Qi wore a clean white shirt, his profile was exquisite and delicate, and his appearance was not inferior to the celebrity. The young boy’s slender fingers kept hitting the keys, his expression was serious, but his face was slightly pale.

There are no others around, he just appeared out of thin air, and he didn’t know where he brought a piano to start playing.

Xiao Lou reacted quickly and said in Yu Hanjiang’s ear: “It’s his piano music box.”

Yu Hanjiang also remembered this card.

In the secret room of Fangpian 9 [Music Labyrinth], Ye Qi got the S-card piano music box. He has two skills. The first one is to open the piano music box and play the theme song “The Wedding in Dream”, so that the target within 10 meters falls into lethargy.

The second skill is to enlarge the piano music box into a normal piano size. If you sit in front of the piano and play a piece, the target within 100 meters will be locked, and you must listen to the entire piano piece. Move, the track cannot be changed during playing.

Ye Qi also joked that if he played the piano for long enough, he could let people stand still and listen to him in a concert of tens of minutes.

100 meters from the stage, it just includes the C area deep in the gymnasium and the D area on the second floor.

The piano music played by Ye Qi is very good, coupled with the card effect, at this moment, everyone in the C and D areas before they have had time to run into the aisle are fixed in their original positions and cannot move!

As long as they do not move, the stampede can be terminated soon.

Although those who have been trampled to death cannot be saved, the masses who have not yet joined the trampling army can avoid the occurrence of tragedy.

When Xiao Lou saw this scene, a hint of surprise flashed on his face: “Great, why did Xiao Ye come here?”

Yu Hanjiang didn’t know why Ye Qi suddenly appeared. His sharp eyes quickly swept across the big stage, and keenly spotted a figure—the man standing behind the screen, taller than 1.88 meters, could not be seen from Yu Hanjiang’s position. The face of the other party, the familiar profile, made him immediately confirm the identity of the other party: “It’s Brother Nine.”

When Xiao Lou heard this answer, he was slightly relieved: “Brother Nine seems to have found something. Ye Qi is probably the one who called in urgently. Only Ye can control this kind of mass violence and chaos. The music card of chess.”

At this moment, Ye Qi’s forehead was sweating coldly.

He forcibly maintained his composure, letting his hands hit the keys according to the music score in his memory to ensure that the piano music would not be interrupted.

Once it was interrupted and the control effect ended, he couldn’t imagine what would happen to the crowd.

The total duration of the piano piece “Kiss the rain” he played was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Brother Ji asked him to control the scene within 5 minutes. Ye Qi chose this softer piece to play. When he came to the scene, the audience was a hell on earth, full of screams and curses, and he even saw a young man stepped on his feet by the crowd behind him, bloody!

Ye Qi turned pale with fright. He bit his head and took out the music box, transformed into a piano, and sat in front of the piano to play a piece of music.

The notes of the piano music resounded throughout the gym, and the scene gradually stabilized.

The crowd beyond 100 meters is still squeezing toward the exit. But in this circle of 100 meters from the stage, everyone sat back quietly on their seats. Those who rushed out heard the music, and their pace couldn’t help but slow down…

When Ye Qi played earnestly for one minute, the whole gymnasium was completely silent, and only the piano notes were lingering in his ears. The originally passionate concert seemed to suddenly become an intoxicating concert.

Seeing the stable scene, Xiao Lou exhaled gently, releasing his clenched fists.

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang’s mobile phone received a message from an unfamiliar number: “This is equivalent to openly fighting the hunter. Ye Qi’s music will end in 3 minutes. The piano will stop and leave immediately. The scene. There are hunters in the crowd, don’t look back.”

Although the other party did not write his name, Yu Hanjiang knew that this message was sent by Brother Jiu.

He showed the phone to Xiao Lou, and Xiao Lou nodded to express his understanding.

Ye Qi was sitting on the big stage, playing the piano frightened. This was his most nervous performance since he learned the piano. He hadn’t been so nervous when he was in the tenth grade exam, but now, his palms are full of cold sweat.

The audience in the audience was looking at him, and there might be a hunter among them, and Ye Qi was stunned by the look.

Finally, the tune was finished, and there was a warm applause from the audience.

Ye Qi stood up, and the chasing light on him went out. Ye Qi took the piano away in the dark and hurriedly turned and walked into the backstage. The mood of the audience has completely calmed down, and the 4-minute piano music has awakened everyone like cold water. As long as the crowd regains their senses, there will be no more large-scale crowding and trampling.

People began to line up to leave.

The people trampled to death in the aisle remained in place, the corpses were bloody, depressed crying sounded in the gymnasium, the expressions on the faces of the audience were very frightened, they fled the scene as soon as possible, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang also mixed in the crowd and walked quickly. Leave.

After arriving outside the stadium, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces a little ugly.

Xiao Lou found that Yu Hanjiang was holding his hand tightly. It was too dangerous just now, he didn’t even notice it.

Raising his head to look at Shangyu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou asked softly: “Are you okay?”

Yu Hanjiang said almost at the same time: “How are you?”

Xiao Lou shook his head; “It’s okay, let’s go back to the hotel first.”

When the two walked to the side of the road, a nanny car suddenly stopped, the door opened, and Ye Qi poked his head out and said, “Get in the car!”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou hurriedly got into the car.

Inside the car, there was a familiar person sitting in the driver’s seat, and Tang Ci in the front passenger’s seat. He was opening the notebook, tapping something quickly with his slender fingers, and countless characters flashed across the computer screen, making the man’s hands increasingly pale.

The person in the driver’s seat looked unremarkable, a passerby’s face that could not be found in the crowd-it was the disguise mask Tang Ci gave to Lu Jiuchuan, and Yu Hanjiang recognized it at a glance: “Brother?”

Lu Jiuchuan stepped on the accelerator with a strong foot, and said in a deep voice, “Go to the hotel and meet other people first. You will explain the specific situation, Xiao Tang.”

The black nanny car quickly merged into the traffic.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Tang Ci: “What the hell is going on?”

******

【Chapter 366, Hunting Plan】

It’s also a coincidence that Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou just left the hotel, and the remaining teammates went back to their rooms. As a result, Shao Qingge actually met Li Mo in the elevator.

In the underground gambling game of Moon City, Shao Qingge and Li Mo played for a few hours. That was what happened in the main city, so Li Mo also recognized Shao Qingge.

Shao Qingge took the initiative to say hello: “Mr. Li.”

Li Mo nodded and said, “Mr. Shao, what a coincidence.”

Shao Qingge smiled and said, “Mr. Li also comes to the city of Japan, staying at this hotel?”

Li Mo said lightly: “Well, come here for a meeting.”

The two only made a few simple polite words, and Ye Qi had the courage to secretly put a bug on the sole of Li Mo’s shoe.

The concert was about to begin. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou found that 6 seats in the VIP auditorium were empty, and asked Tang Ci to check them. As a result, they found that the empty seats belonged to Shu Xiaomeng and others.

The teammates noticed something wrong.

Ye Qi heard the conversation between Li Mo and Shu Xiaomeng through the wiretap.

Shu Xiaomeng seemed very angry, and her voice was shaking: “Why don’t you let us go to the concert? I couldn’t see it as a concert ten years ago. This time, in order to realize their dreams, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu took leave of absence from the unit. , You said you wouldn’t let you go, and you kept everyone in the hotel, lest it be too much, right?”

Li Mo said lightly: “It’s for the good of you not to go, Luo Yan is not easy.”

Shu Xiaomeng jumped angrily: “What do you mean? I have liked Luo Yan’s songs for 20 years, and you don’t know…”

Li Mo interrupted her: “The concert site is not safe, you will soon understand. Xiaomeng, have I done something that hurt you once since I met?” Shu Xiaomeng was stunned by the question, Li Moqing Sighed and whispered: “Trust me, stay in the hotel and have a good rest. The one you admire is obviously not as gentle and kind as you think.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qi hurriedly told Tang Ci the information.

This also confirmed Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou’s previous speculation that something went wrong at the concert.

Tang Ci notified Lu Jiuchuan of the news, and it happened that Lu Jiuchuan had already arrived at the concert. He pretended to be a security officer and maintained order at the scene, so he had the opportunity to enter the backstage.

At 9:30 in the evening, when Luo Yan stepped down for the first time, Lu Jiuchuan hid in her dressing room.

He saw that there was a black totem tattoo on the right shoulder behind Luo Yan.

She is a hunter!

Lu Jiuchuan didn’t know what they were going to do, but according to the clues he had so far, especially the seat distribution map found after Tang Ci invaded the official website, there were a large number of challengers gathered in Area C and D. Mass events.

The use of firearms is prohibited in the main city. It is impossible for hunters to take an assault-machine-gun to the C and D areas to shoot in a large area, nor to bury explosives on the spot. After all, Lu Jiuchuan has been in the hunter organization for more than half a year. These people do nothing to achieve their goals and are very good at manipulating people’s hearts. Therefore, it is more likely that they will use challengers to kill challengers.

After checking everyone’s cards, Tang Ci found that Ye Qi’s piano music box can reach the largest range of group control, so he urgently brought Ye Qi to the scene. Lu Jiuchuan responded in the background and let Ye Qi enter the gymnasium from the back door. Tang Cihei entered the lighting system of the scene to control the spotlight. This is why Ye Qi suddenly appeared on the big stage.

Hearing the complete process, Yu Hanjiang couldn’t help clenching his fists: “Where is Luo Yan?”

Lu Jiuchuan said coldly: “I ran away after the incident. The idol singers she called ran faster than each.”

Yu Hanjiang’s fists creaked, and he really wanted to grab this woman and let her try to be stepped on! In order to kill outsiders, she actually created a mass stampede in a gym with 100,000 people, she was crazy!

Tang Ci said: “I just checked that the lights and lines of the stadium were destroyed in advance. The chandeliers on the roof began to fall one after another at the end of the concert, smashing the crowd and causing panic among the crowd. Area C There were a lot of hunters mixed in with the D area, taking advantage of the chaos to deliberately push the outsiders to the ground, and guide the people behind to step on their bodies.”

He closed his eyes lightly, and said: “At present, the official data has not come out. According to preliminary estimates, the mass stampede has caused more than 100 deaths and more than a thousand injured. In a few days it will be a mandatory weekly routine. Those who are injured can Not being able to survive the week is also unknown.”

Xiao Lou: “…”

If it weren’t for Brother Jiu to let Ye Qi enter the big stage in time, the accident would only be more serious. After all, in the hands of other challengers, there are only a handful of cards that can be used in the main city and have a wide range of field control capabilities.

Xiao Lou lightly clenched his fist and asked: “The hunter wants to kill us, and even the innocent aborigines of this world will not let go. There are also many people in Area A where Team Yu and I are trampled and injured. They are really frantic. ! Is it just to receive the bounty?”

Lu Jiuchuan, who was driving, suddenly said, “It’s not just a bounty.”

Everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Although Lu Jiuchuan wore a mask, the man’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He whispered: “I have been lurking in the Hunter League for more than half a year. Some time ago, I finally came into contact with some high-level people, including the local rich. They are. Although it’s not bad money, the bonus for all hunters is not a small sum. The league’s daily expenditure is enough to buy a building in the city center. If it is not for the hatred of foreigners, why should they spend such a lot of manpower , Financial resources, to set up a hunter alliance that specializes in doing the right thing with outsiders?”

I want to think that the money of the local tyrants is not lost from the sky. If you have the money to buy murder and kill your own enemies, it is understandable to kill a few, but you can offer a large-scale reward for killing outsiders. As long as you kill outsiders, you will get bonuses…

Isn’t this too extreme?

Like Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang, they have tried their best to observe the bottom line of human beings since entering the world, and they have never massacred any innocent aborigines. They only took a few actions to kill those murderers or just defend them.

They have no grievances with the Hunter Alliance, so why should they be targeted?

Lu Jiuchuan said: “I’m still investigating the hatred of the Hunter Alliance against us, but I have a bold speculation that there are actually many of our kind within this organization.”

Xiao Lou had thought about this a long time ago.

Because the hunters are very aware of the setting of “outlanders can spell”, that is to say, the hunters know that the “outlanders” have cards on them, and even some hunters will get them after they kill the outlanders. Of cards to enhance your own strength.

If it weren’t for a challenger to join the organization, how could they have such an understanding of the challenger’s situation, and even know the exact time of the weekly mission, and send hunters to the weekly world to kill outlanders?

As early as in the financial crisis chamber of 3 of Spades, hunters had received news in advance to kill them. If it weren’t for the rape of the challenger, how could the aborigines know so clearly?

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the colder his back became. He couldn’t help but guess: “I remember Lao Mo said that there are many challengers who are willing to stay in this world and continue to live. Will it be the ones we want to leave? People, to a certain extent, are actually on the opposite side of them. Will it affect their survival here?”

Lu Jiuchuan nodded with interest: “Tell me about your analysis.”

Xiao Loudao: “For example, a challenger who wants to stay has to kill other challengers to obtain the right to reside in the card world? In this way, they can join the hunter organization to make sense. According to the four guards The gatekeeper’s weird temper may really make this kind of task.”

The dungeon of spades that I experienced before has the setting of “cannibalism”.

Perhaps the ultimate boss of the Hunter Alliance is also a challenger? Through brainwashing the aboriginals and offering bonuses, he allowed a large number of aboriginals to join the organization to target challengers…

Ye Qi said with a numb scalp: “According to Professor Xiao, it may be assumed that the task they received was to kill the same kind to obtain residency rights. For example, kill a challenger in exchange for one year’s residency rights? Terrible setting, then they hunt down challengers on a large scale to survive in this world? If they kill too many, maybe they can live forever?!”

Everyone: “…”

Ye Qi’s words instantly solidified the atmosphere, and it felt like he had entered a horror game.

Hearing this speculation, Lu Jiuchuan’s face also became gloomy, and he whispered: “Anyway, we have to find a way to return to the normal human world. This world is crazy, and human life has become for them. I have just come into contact with a few key figures in the hunter organization recently, and I will pay close attention to the investigation these days, and it will be beneficial to us to get more clues.”

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he couldn’t help but worry: “Brother, Saturday is the weekly secret room. You have to come with us?”

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: “Well, I will try my best to complete the investigation before Saturday. Time is running out. Bookmark the contract today. When you enter the weekly routine, you can directly pull me in.”

The car quickly drove to the underground garage of the hotel. Tang Ci sent a message to his teammates in advance. Therefore, Mr. Gui and Chu Huaying were waiting for them in the garage.

Lu Jiuchuan took out the contract and destroyed the contract on the spot.

At one time, there were more than a dozen names in this book, and it was the first assault team formed by Lu Jiuchuan.

It’s a pity that they were almost wiped out in Meihua J’s challenge chamber. Only four people survived. The other names have long since disappeared from the contract – but they have been living in Lu Jiuchuan’s heart.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at the contract book that was burned to ashes in his hand, and a bitter smile was raised at the corner of his mouth.

He said: “My teammates are completely gone, but I will go back with their wishes.”

Yu Hanjiang walked over, gently pressed his brother’s shoulder, and said, “In the future, there will be us.”

Xiao Lou took out the contract and handed it to Lu Jiuchuan.

Lu Jiuchuan simply said: “Sign it, I hope that changing a book this time will bring you good luck.”

He took the lead in signing the three dashing characters “Lu Jiuchuan” on the back page.

Tang Ci immediately signed it.

Gui Yuanshan and Chu Huaying also signed quickly.

The four new names emit a soft light effect on the contract book, representing the official creation of the contract.

In order to avoid too many people gathering in the underground garage to attract hunters, other teammate Xiao Lou did not tell them to go downstairs, and the signing was done in secret in the car.

Lu Jiuchuan handed the contract back to Xiao Lou, saying: “I have something to do. I will meet with other people and wait for Zhou Chang’s secret room to talk about it.”

Chu Huaying looked at him calmly: “Are you going to take risks again?”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “This is a rare opportunity. The high-level hunter organization will participate in the dinner the next night. I must go.”

Chu Huaying nodded and said, “Don’t get another injury. Come back and let us treat you.”

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, “I know, I will be careful.”

Old Mr. Gui looked at Tang Ci and said, “Hua Ying and I have to go back and arrange those people in the guild. Xiao Tang, Zhou Chang’s task will be handed over to you to cooperate with them in preparation.”

Tang Ci said: “Don’t worry, senior, I will pull you into the dungeon on Saturday night.”

Gui Yuanshan is the chairman of the “Distant Association”, the biggest challenger association. Chu Huaying is the head of Luoyingge. They really still have a lot of work to do. Today, I came here with Brother Jiu just to understand the contract and signed to Xiao This book is good for the next weekdays.

After everyone said goodbye in the underground garage, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Ye Qi and Tang Ci took the elevator back to the hotel room.

Xiao Lou leaned against the wall tiredly and closed his eyes. The tragic scene of the concert scene always appeared in his mind. Those who fell in the aisle wielded their bloody hands and struggled wildly, calling for help, screaming… they The pain experienced before death is simply unimaginable.

Those are all living lives!

Xiao Lou really couldn’t understand the brutality of the hunters. No matter what the reason is, can you still call it “human” if you ignore other people’s lives and kill innocent people indiscriminately? They are nothing more than a group of murderous weapons without temperature.

The contract in his hand seemed to be extremely heavy.

He is the owner of this contract book, originally just to team up with Yu Hanjiang, and now, 12 names have been signed on the book.

The hunters are so cruel, cold-blooded, and unscrupulous, this time, can they really pass the S-level level smoothly?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Happy Goddess Day everyone!

The Zhou Chang copy is about to start soon. This is the first cooperation of 12 people, so stay tuned:)
