Card Room - 301. Chapter 437-438

【Chapter 437, Clue】

It was already three o’clock in the morning, and it was not easy to wake up his teammates in the middle of the night. Yu Hanjiang fainted in the afternoon when he thought of Xiao Lou. He didn’t even eat dinner, so he turned around and found some food from the suitcase that Shao Qingge brought.

He couldn’t ask the waiter to deliver food, so he simply cooked Xiao Lou a bowl of noodles and added a poached egg.

After a while, Yu Hanjiang came to the bedroom with a bowl of steaming noodles, and turned back to call Xiao Lou: “Come to eat something, you didn’t even eat dinner, you must be hungry?”

Xiao Lou’s mind is full of messy memories, and he has completely forgotten about “hunger”.

After smelling the scent of noodles, his stomach screamed in response to the occasion. The “Gurulu” voice was especially clear in the quiet bedroom. Xiao Lou rubbed his stomach and coughed lightly: “Cough, I slept 12 Hours, I am really hungry.”

The corners of Yu Hanjiang’s lips lightly raised, and he handed him the chopsticks: “Let’s eat.”

Xiao Lou sat down at the table and quickly settled a bowl of noodles, eating food, and warming his whole body. He has been used to living alone before, but now he finds that it feels really good to be taken care of.

Xiao Lou smiled slightly at Yu Hanjiang, and said, “Thank you, the noodles are delicious.”

As Yu Hanjiang packed his lunch box, he raised his eyebrows to look at him: “You still need to be polite with me?”

Xiao Lou wiped his mouth clean, changed the subject and asked, “Does Brother Nine think of any more clues? Is there anything else besides singing about the people who rescued them on the planet Zerg?”

Yu Hanjiang shook his head: “When Brother Nine was rescued, he had lost too much blood and was unconscious. He even thought that he had caused auditory hallucinations and heard the voice of heaven. As for other things, he hadn’t seen anything and was confused. He has no memory of what happened after the rescue.”

Xiao Lou thoughtfully: “In other words, there is only the clue of’singing’ at present. My sister told us that the fishermen can hear the singing at sea. It’s just a legend? … You rest first, and we will investigate together tomorrow. .”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Okay, you also go take a bath and sleep for a while.”

Xiao Lou’s clothes were soaked with sweat and it was really uncomfortable to wear. He simply took a shower and put on pajamas and lay down on the bed.

In a daze, he dreamed of being locked in a room with countless duplicating children when he was five years old. The same face was constantly dangling in front of him. Behind the dream, the faces of those children gradually became him. What it looks like now.

Countless faces with various expressions. Or smiling, or in indifference, or ridicule, or hatred, jealousy… Countless “self” shook in front of his eyes, Xiao Lou curled up and fell into a strange nightmare. When Yu Hanjiang realized that he was cold all over, he stretched out his hand and gently embraced Xiao Lou in his arms, and gently patted him on the back like a child.

The warmth from Yu Hanjiang gradually calmed down Xiao Lou in his sleep.

He stretched out his hand, hugged Yu Hanjiang tightly like a straw, and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Lou found that his face was on the man’s sturdy chest, his hands were tightly hugging the other’s waist, and he leaned against Yu Hanjiang’s arms in a “depending on each other” posture.

The roots of Xiao Lou’s ears couldn’t help but he quickly broke free from the man’s arms, and coughed dryly, “I had a nightmare last night and dreamed of many identical me dangling in front of my eyes.”

Yu Hanjiang held Xiao Lou’s hand and said, “I know. That’s why I hug you to sleep and want you to rest well.”

Meeting his soft gaze, Xiao Lou’s heart warmed, and he curled his mouth and said, “It’s just a nightmare. Let’s go, it’s time to set off.”

The two walked out of the bedroom. The teammates in the dining room were already gathered. Seeing Xiao Lou, Ye Qi hurried over and asked, “Professor Xiao, are you awake? Are you feeling better? Yesterday afternoon you suddenly fainted and frightened me.”

Xiao Lou said: “It’s okay. I fainted because of a terrible headache. I just remembered what happened when I was five years old.”

When the four heard this, they immediately walked to Xiao Lou curiously.

Lu Jiuchuan asked first: “What do you think of?”

Xiao Lou looked serious and said in a low voice: “Our speculation is correct. Your Majesty copied so many princes to raise Gu. The 100 five-year-olds were locked up in the same room by your Majesty to compete, and the best can survive. In the end, four survived, including me. Suppose I was No. 1. The obedient Xiaolou that Han Jiang saw in His Majesty’s Palace was No. 2. The one who was most like a prince at the birthday party was No. 3. , There is another number 4, we have never seen it.”

Lu Jiuchuan was full of resentment: “In other words, the other 97 copied children have been artificially destroyed? This majesty is really damn sick!”

Ye Qi vomited: “This majesty’s way of cultivating heirs is really weird…”

Xiao Lou said: “No. 4 Xiao Building has no clues yet. It may be hidden by your majesty, or escaped from the Luo Ke Empire. Let’s go find an invisible person who can sing, maybe they know some clues.”

The teammates all agreed.

Yu Hanjiang said: “The sea area of the entire azure planet exceeds 50%, and the range is too wide. It is better to find a vehicle.”

Shao Qingge thought for a while and said, “I’m going to buy a floating car.”

Since the other four people all fled to the Azure Empire secretly, they could not be found. Only Shao Qingge and Ye Qi were here to travel with integrity, so Shao Qingge came forward and bought a large car that could take up to 10 people. Suspended car.

This car is similar to a “floating house” with luxurious interior furnishings.

In the future, the mainstream means of transportation in cities in the world will be suspended vehicles. Air traffic is developed and there will be no “traffic jams”. Moreover, the suspended vehicles are all automatic navigation and automatic driving, and there is no need to consider the issue of driver’s license.

Shao Qingge drove back to the hotel to pick up the four of Xiaolou, and followed the navigation to the nearest beach.

The beach here is as beautiful as the City of Sun. The white sand is as clean as it is reflective, and the sand is delicate and soft. Many tourists are playing on the beach barefoot, and many people are playing entertainment such as airships on the sea.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi inquired along the way: “Have you ever heard that invisible people can sing?”

The tourist looked at a loss: “I haven’t heard of it!”

Ye Qi also asked some innocent children: “Have mom and dad told you that disobedient children will be caught and eaten by invisible people singing in the middle of the night?” The children looked at Ye Qi like a fool: “Ha! Haha, elder brother, do you think I am three years old? Only three-year-old children believe this kind of story!”

Ye Qi: “…”

The two inquired all morning at the beach and found nothing.

Everyone knows this is just a legend, just like the fairy tale of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”, if you pull a person on the side of the road and ask “Have you seen Snow White?”, others will definitely think you have sick.

Even children think that Ye Qi is sick—this kind of story is only believed by three-year-olds, but not by five-year-olds.

After returning to the floating car, Ye Qi hugged his head with a headache: “No one has seen an invisible man who can sing, and no one has ever heard the singing with his own eyes…Is this legend reliable?”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Check somewhere else.”

Lu Jiuchuan leaned on the seat, folded his legs, and analyzed: “The legend is not groundless. I think there must be something in the ocean. However, humans live on land and don’t know enough about the mysterious ocean… It’s useless, it’s better to find those fishermen who make a living by fishing.”

Xiao Lou also agreed with this idea: “Look for fishermen, they are the ones who know the sea best.”

This is the nearest beach to the hotel, and Shao Qingge drove the floating car here. After hearing Xiao Lou’s words, Shao Qingge modified the navigation and drove the floating car to the area where the fishermen usually live.

Ye Qi found the oldest old man in the fishing village and asked, “Old man, have you heard the legend of the invisible man?”

The old man was basking in the sun and said with a smile: “Who? My ears are not very good.”

Ye Qi leaned close to his ear, amplified the volume and shouted: “Invisible people from the ocean! We are from a foreign country. I heard that there are people singing here every night. Come and see if you are curious!”

The old man squinted his eyes and said, “Sing? Oh, the daughter of Lao Zhang next door likes singing the most.”

Ye Qi looked helpless.

After inquiring about it in the fishing village, there was still no harvest. Ye Qi returned to the floating car and said frustratedly: “No one here has ever heard the song personally. They all say that it is a rumors left by their ancestors for generations.”

The clues are too vague, and the oceans of the entire planet are beyond imagination, making it too difficult to investigate.

But Brother Nine is right. Since the legend has been spread for so many years, it shouldn’t be groundless. Someone must have heard it with their own ears. It’s just that, who and where did they hear the song for the first time are nowhere to be found for so many years.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: “It seems that we can only try our luck after dark and go around the sea to see if we can meet an invisible person who can sing?”

But the sea area is so large, even if they drive Chu Huaying’s starship to circle the planet for several hours, not to mention that the speed of the levitation vehicle is far lower than that of the starship. It must be over.

Take a chance? It is indeed possible to bump into luck.

But what if you can’t hit it? Isn’t it a waste of time?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lou suddenly said, “I have a way.”

The teammates looked back at him.

Xiao Lou took out a card and looked helpless: “I can only invite Di Renjie.”

Everyone: “………………”

Almost forgot, among the strange character cards Xiao Lou drew, there was another magic card that had never been used before: Di Renjie.

Master Di is specially designed to deal with this kind of “confused” situation. Using Di Renjie’s skills, the heart-shaped room can directly find a clue, and the square-shaped room can eliminate a wrong maze route or unlock a mechanism. Now it is a comprehensive secret room, and Di Renjie is the easiest way to find clues. It’s a pity that this card is a limited skill, and it can only be used once per return to the secret room.

When Ye Qi heard Di Renjie, he couldn’t help but said excitedly: “Professor Xiao’s card is indeed only Di Renjie we have never seen before. Or, when it gets dark, we will invite Di Renjie to come?”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Okay, let’s talk about it when there is no one in the early morning.”

Shao Qingge stopped the suspended vehicle at the largest fisherman village on the blue planet, waiting for it to get dark.

Since the legend of the invisible man singing was spread by fishermen, it must have been encountered by the fishermen’s ancestors when they went out to sea some time. Therefore, the probability of finding clues near the fishing village is the greatest.

The sky was getting dark, and the lights in the fishing village went out one after another. When the fishermen all fell asleep and the time came to one o’clock in the morning, Xiao Lou summoned Di Renjie.

A young version of Di Renjie dressed in ancient official clothes, holding a fan in his hand, shaking and thinking.

Xiao Lou used the skill-Detective.

Di Renjie muttered: “Well, let me think about it…”

Then, under the curious onlookers of his teammates, Di Renjie stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance.

A soft light appeared on the sea in the distance, and that must be the location of the clue.

Xiao Lou’s eyes lit up, he put Di Renjie away, and said, “Everyone act.”

【Chapter 438, Uncharted Seas】

Shao Qingge drove the floating car in the direction of the bright light.

It was late at night, the whole sea area was quiet and windless, and the street lights around the coastline were getting farther and farther away from them.

It was dark all around. The sky above is full of stars, and those stars are projected on the surface of the sea, as if countless diamonds have been sprinkled on the surface of the sea.

Shao Qingge’s floating car floated in the air, getting closer and closer to the bright position.

Suddenly, a hurricane blew around, and the teammates only felt a strong force coming, and the whole body suddenly leaned back. Yu Hanjiang hurriedly hugged Xiao Lou’s waist: “Be careful!”

Ye Qi was sitting on the sofa. As the hovering car was blown over by the hurricane, he grunted to the rear of the vehicle like a ball. He immediately heard a loud “bang” from his ear, and the hovering car fell directly. In the sea!

After the vehicle falls into the water, if the escape window is not opened in time, because the water pressure outside is greater than the air pressure inside the vehicle, the window will become more and more difficult to open, until all the people trapped in the vehicle suffocate and die.

Of course, Yu Hanjiang knew how to first aid after falling into the water.

He was stern and quick, and at the moment the car crashed into the water, he immediately took out the Night Demon Saber, slashed open the skylight of the suspended car, and took Xiao Lou into the sky with a light skill card.

As the sunroof was split open, sea water poured frantically into the car.

Ye Qi was caught off guard by being poured a mouthful of sea water, and could not help coughing when he was choked: “Cough…cough!”

He can’t swim. A lot of seawater flooded into his lungs with his cough. Ye Qi was struggling desperately with his hands waving in discomfort. Shao Qingge hurriedly swam over, picked him up from the water, and quickly swam out of the floating car from the skylight.

Yu Hanjiang put down the white damask card, Shao Qingge grabbed the white cloth smoothly, and Yu Hanjiang yanked the two out of the sea.

Both Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci could swim, and hurriedly held their breath and climbed out of the floating car.

Almost the moment they climbed out, the metal suspended vehicle sank into the deep ocean at a speed visible to the naked eye. Only then did Lu Jiuchuan discover that there was a huge whirlpool nearby!

Lu Jiuchuan couldn’t help cursing: “Fuck! Did Di Renjie point us to a clear road or a dead end?! If we didn’t react fast enough, we would almost be drowned…”

Xiao Lou said, “Everyone, run quickly and avoid the hurricane on the sea!”

A hurricane on the sea, like a tornado, swept towards them. The hurricane was like a terrifying black whirlpool, and it was about to swallow them all. Lu Jiuchuan’s expression changed and he decisively summoned Suzaku.

The big bird spread its flame-like wings, and landed on Jiuchuan and flew into the air.

Yu Hanjiang threw Bai Lingka to his elder brother, Lu Jiuchuan took it, tied Tang Ci with a white cloth and hung him and flew forward. Yu Hanjiang hugged Xiao Lou and ran forward with a light skill card, while Shao Qingge took out a teleport card and held Ye Qi to teleport 50 meters at a time.

Ye Qi’s face was flushed by the sea water, Shao Qingge patted him on the back lightly, and asked in a low voice, “Is it all right?”

“It’s okay, cough cough… hurry up!”

The six took out the fastest speed, flew into the distance in embarrassment, and avoided this wave of hurricane in a thrilling manner!

The surrounding area is pitch black, and with the help of the starlight in the sky, it is impossible to see what is on the surface of the sea, but Xiao Lou always feels that there are many things floating in the nearby sea…

He took out Ye Mingzhu.

Seeing the sea area illuminated by the Ye Mingzhu, Xiao Lou suddenly chilled his back: “Look at the sea!”

The teammates looked back—they saw the wreckage of countless ships scattered on the surrounding sea, as well as many white human bones! Among them is a boat floating crookedly on the sea. The wood on it has rotted due to age. A large amount of blood stains on the wood and people’s broken clothing can be seen faintly.

Ye Qi’s eyes widened: “This is… a restricted area on the sea?”

According to legend, certain sea areas are places where humans cannot walk, because people who walk into them cannot come out alive. There is also the so-called “Devil’s Triangle” in the movie, and all the ships that drive to that area cannot escape the fate of the sinking ship.

Judging from the large number of shipwrecks around, they accidentally stepped into the forbidden area at sea today, and they can escape alive thanks to these powerful cards.

The light designated by Di Renjie happened to be at the center of the vortex on the sea surface.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath: “What on earth is there?”

Lu Jiuchuan said, “Will that vortex be the entrance to the underwater world?”

It’s a pity that none of them are professional divers. They dive into the ocean floor and can barely survive if they don’t breathe for a minute or two. After a long time, they will only be drowned.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang: “What should I do?”

It was also the first time that he had no idea in his mind. Although Di Renjie helped them find the key sea area, how could he go down here? It would be great if there was Liu Qiao, Xiao Lou remembered that Liu Qiao had a fairy tale card of [Mermaid Princess] in his hand, which could turn the team into a mermaid, not afraid of the sea.

Just thinking about it, a strange song suddenly came from the sea.

Everything around was silent, and only the ethereal, clear singing voice, like a call from the ancients, sang softly in the ears of everyone. Everyone could not hear what she was singing, but the voice was very soft and beautiful, like a natural sound.

Lu Jiuchuan’s expression changed–this was exactly the singing he heard before the Zerg planet fell into a coma.

There was not even a single figure around, and the singing did not know where it came from.

The singing continued, as if there was some magic power, calling them…

The six people gradually became a little confused, as if they saw a large garden appearing in the whirlpool on the sea, and a road leading to the depths of the sea of flowers. This is a landscape even more beautiful than a mirage.

Yu Hanjiang pinched his leg hard, and shouted in a low voice: “Everyone, cover your ears, this voice can confuse people!”

Everyone suddenly recovered, Xiao Lou immediately took out the team’s voice headset and sent it to everyone. Six people covered the left ear with one hand, and pressed the bulge on the right earphone with one hand. The singing could not be heard, and everyone’s sanity immediately recovered. wide awake.

Ye Qi said, “I seemed to have hallucinations just now?”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “This singing is indeed a bit magical. I remember when I heard the singing on the planet Zerg, I was stupefied thinking that I saw heaven. That should also be an illusion!”

Tang Ci whispered: “A marine creature that can sing? Is it the legendary mermaid?”

Xiao Lou was stunned, and suddenly thought of a rumor: “That’s right! As early as in the “Shan Hai Jing”, there is a record of a shark from the deep sea. The upper body is a humanoid figure and the lower body has a fish tail. The shark people like to sing most. , And very good at using magical singing to confuse people. The passing ships, as long as someone hears the singing of the sharks, they will be intoxicated in the singing until they die. The sharks often use the singing to trap the passing ships and kill humans. ”

When Ye Qi heard this, he suddenly realized: “I know the shark man, there are often settings for the shark man to sing in Xianxia games… The shark man in ancient Chinese legends is actually the mermaid in the Western fantasy legend, right?!”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Yes, it is the mermaid of the deep sea!”

Thinking of the fairy tale card [Mermaid Princess] Liu Qiao had drawn, Xiao Lou suddenly had a strange premonition. He said, “Perhaps, Xiao Liu, Senior Gui and Lao Mo, the identities assigned this time are not humans, but Deep Seas. Mermaid!”

Lu Jiuchuan couldn’t help but said, “But if they were on this planet, why would they not respond when we bloomed in Peach Blossom Spring? Can’t they be teleported to the same planet?”

Xiao Lou guessed: “Maybe the mermaid could not go ashore, or maybe the deep sea environment blocked the card call?” He paused, and said, “Of course, I’m just guessing that Xiao Liu and the others are here, and I can’t. Sure.”

Yu Hanjiang’s face was serious: “If Liu Qiao and the others are really mermaid, it is very likely that the mermaid is a separate plot line, and some things have happened that need them to solve.”

Shao Qingge reluctantly rubbed his temples and said, “The question now is, how do the six of us enter the mermaid waters?” He looked at Ye Qi, whose face was flushed with wet hair just now choked by the sea, “Xiaoye Neither of you nor Professor Xiao can swim. Although you can swim in Team Yu, the place where mermaids live is the deep sea, so can humans not go down?”

The problem fell into an endless loop.

With Liu Qiao, everyone can transform into a mermaid, not afraid of the sea.

But the problem is that they can’t find Liu Qiao now?

Tang Ci said with a calm face: “My drone can’t go into the sea… I knew I should be a mechanical submarine.”

Shao Qingge’s inspiration suddenly flashed: “Can I buy a submarine for money?”

Lu Jiuchuan couldn’t laugh or cry: “Mr. Shao, money is not everything. Submarines are military-controlled equipment, and most people certainly can’t buy them. If I were in the Loco Empire, I might still be able to get one under the authority, but now, Tang Ci and I both escaped…We are not familiar with this country.”

The six people hovered in the sea, looking at each other.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lou suddenly thought of a way. He patted his forehead vigorously: “…has a good heart?! How can I forget this?”

Ye Qi’s eyes lit up: “That’s right! You can invite teammates to establish spiritual communication channels if you have a heart. If Liu Qiao is on this planet, we can fully connect with her and let her come to meet us!”

Xiao Lou immediately summoned Qin Guan, opened up “the heart has a clear understanding,” and invited Liu Qiao to establish a connection.

The invitation was sent out for a while, and it really got a response.

A familiar girl’s voice sounded in his mind, with a trace of doubt: “Professor Xiao?”

Xiao Lou was really pleased to hear this voice!

He hurriedly asked: “Xiao Liu, where are you? We are now in the waters of the blue planet. After entering the Secret Chamber Q, I haven’t seen you. Are you with Senior Gui and Lao Mo?”

Liu Qiao: “…”

Suddenly silence fell in his mind.

Xiao Lou said in a puzzled manner: “Little Liu?”

Liu Qiao’s voice sounded again: “Professor Xiao what are you talking about? Didn’t we just meet?”
