Card Room - 305. Chapter 445-446

【Chapter 445, Liu Qiao】

Liu Qiao’s voice was blocked by the mineral water bottle. It sounded very faint, but Xiao Lou noticed the movement in the bottle for the first time. He took the mineral water bottle from Ye Qi and asked softly: “Little Liu is awake?”

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle and found that Xiao Lou in front of him seemed to be magnified dozens of times in his field of vision. A face seemed to her like a wall. She finally reacted and said, “You are changing me. It’s the size of a thumb, locked in a bottle? Is it the same as the eight of spades with Mr. Shao?”

Shao Qingge came over and asked, “Do you remember the eight of spades?”

Liu Qiao said, “Of course, in order to save Xiaoye from being infected by the Zerg, Mr. Shao was afraid that you would hurt his teammates, so everyone used my Thumbelina card to shut you in the bottle…” She paused, and suddenly realized: “I see, you made me smaller and locked me in a bottle, worrying that I would hurt everyone? Do you suspect that I am a clone?”

Hearing this, Xiao Lou’s suspicion about her has decreased a lot. After all, only his teammates knew that Shao Qingge was infected by the Zerg in order to save Yeqi. Liu Qiao was able to accurately say this, and his credibility was greatly increased. .

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, “Do you remember where we first met?”

Liu Qiao said, “In the mountain temple of Liuxi Village, I became Little Red Riding Hood at that time, and I put a Kongming lantern to lead you over, and let you discover the human bone pit behind the mountain temple.”

Yu Hanjiang continued to ask: “What are the identities of the few of us in the turbulent times?”

Liu Qiao replied earnestly: “Team Yu is the newly appointed prefect, Professor Xiao is your wife, Shao is always a child of the rich family, Lao Mo is the master, Long Sen is the guard of the palace, Sister Qu is the princess’s personal maid, and I am a doctor. Girl, Ye Qi is…” She looked back at Xiaoye: “The top girl in the brothel.”

Ye Qi couldn’t help holding his forehead: “Could you not mention that black history… Can you ask for another copy of Team Yu?”

Yu Hanjiang immediately corrected the question: “What disease did everyone have in the tenth pass?”

Liu Qiaodao: “Professor Xiao is the hospital inpatient department, and the team Yu was shot and sent to the emergency department; Xiaoye had pneumonia in the pediatrics department; Shao always had a heart attack and had a stent operation; Long Sen broke his leg in the orthopedic surgery; Lao Mo was sent for intestinal obstruction. Go for surgery; I have a blood disease; Sister Qu is pregnant and has lupus erythematosus…”

Lu Jiuchuan touched his nose and said, “It sounds like you were really miserable at the tenth level. You are all sick.”

Ye Qi said: “The combination of old, weak, sick and disabled pregnancy is indeed miserable. Only Professor Xiao is a normal person… However, I think this level is more troublesome. The tenth level is just that everyone has limited mobility and the clues are very clear. Until now, we don’t even know how many clones there are.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Remember the story of the 9 of Hearts?”

Liu Qiao said: “The first murder case in the entertainment industry was the psychological distortion who killed the judge who gave him a red light at the singing contest, and the other was a double who killed his girlfriend after plastic surgery.”

Listening to Liu Qiao’s response to the past copies, Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be on the safe side, he continued to ask: “Xiao Liu, do you remember the library of the Medical University? There are Chinese medicine-related materials on the 23rd floor. ”

Liu Qiao thought for a while and said, “Yes, I often go to the 23rd floor to borrow books.”

Xiao Lou was silent for a moment, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang and said, “No problem, this Liu Qiao should be him.”

Everyone was relieved to hear this.

Liu Qiao said, “That Xiaolou, the cakes that I brought to me should have been drugged, and I fainted after eating it. If it hadn’t been for Professor Xiao to connect me with his heart, I had never doubted his identity. He is so similar to Professor Xiao.”

Xiao Lou reluctantly said: “The replicator’s genes are 99% similar, similar to twins. It’s really hard to tell apart. What you saw is Xiao Lou No. 5. He has human, Zerg, and Mermaid genes in his body, plus He is a hunter and knows the bottom line of our team. It is really difficult to deal with.”

Liu Qiao wondered: “Hunter? Why would a clone become a hunter?”

Xiao Loudao: “I guess the hunter, like the challenger, can travel in different secret rooms. We can come directly to this world and assign different identities. Naturally, the hunters can also assign identities, and the hunters are assigned to The more important your identity, the more difficult it is for us to pass customs.”

Shao Qingge thoughtfully: “Like the tenth pass, is my adoptive mother a hunter?”

Ye Qi couldn’t help being frightened when he remembered the scene of Rainy Night: “If it wasn’t for Mr. Shao and I to react fast enough, his mother almost killed us at the last minute!”

Xiao Lou glanced over his teammates and said meaningfully: “Therefore, the assignment of the hunter in this level to the identity of the’Xiao Lou Duplicator’ will also greatly increase the difficulty of our clearance. If we are not vigilant enough. , Maybe you will be caught in that person’s trap.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “We can avoid him first and find out the shipwreck incident.”

Xiao Lou agreed: “Okay, we will dive into the deep sea at dawn.”

Liu Qiao swam around in the bottle and asked, “Can you let me out? I’m a princess of the mermaid clan. I’m familiar with the path of the palace, maybe I can help.”

Xiao Lou winked at Yu Hanjiang, Yu Hanjiang nodded, walked over to unscrew the bottle cap, and poured out the small fish with the big finger from the bottle. At the same time, Gui Yuanzhang put away the [Thumbgirl] card, and Liu Qiao immediately restored his original shape.

Her tail is the longest among all people, more than 2 meters, and the silver-white tail is shining brightly under the moonlight, which is even more beautiful than the mermaid heroine in the movie.

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at her tail: “This is the mermaid tail with royal blood?”

Gui Yuanzhang nodded: “The symbol of royal blood is very obvious. The tails are silver. Moreover, there are fewer and fewer merfolk with pure blood. Mermaid people believe in racial concepts and believe that silver tails are the most noble and can inherit the throne. , Must also be the offspring of a silver-tailed mermaid of pure blood.”

Xiao Lou thought for a moment, and said: “The current mermaid prince is artificially cultivated using genetic technology. As long as the gene fragments that determine the tail color of the mermaid are extracted and fused into the cells of Xiaolou No. 4 when making the clones, The cultivated Xiaolou No. 5 automatically has a silver tail that symbolizes royal blood?”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Then find another excuse like’an illegitimate child living outside.’ The mermaid tribe will not doubt the identity of this prince. After all, he has a pure silver tail.”

Ye Qi looked at Xiao Lou: “Can we distinguish Professor Xiao from the copyist based on the color of the tail?”

Xiao Lou smiled and said: “My tail is the blue of an ordinary tribe, and he is the silver of the royal blood. It is indeed distinguishable. It’s just that the mermaid in the palace needs to walk on two legs without exposing the tail. It is still difficult to distinguish on the surface. Everyone try not to get separated when they act tomorrow, so as not to be taken advantage of by the clone.”

Gui Yuanzhang said cautiously: “If we get rid of that copyist, we can logically make Liu Qiao the princess of the mermaid and become the new generation king of the mermaid tribe.”

Liu Qiao was taken aback for a moment: “Me? King?”

Ye Qi patted her on the shoulder and said, “Isn’t there a lot of pressure? Professor Xiao also has to inherit the throne. At this level, both of you have special identities.”

Liu Qiao thought for a while and nodded seriously: “Okay, I will cooperate with everyone.”

It was half past four in the morning, and Xiao Lou said, “Everyone rest for a while, and we will leave at dawn.”

After staying up late and staying up till now, everyone is really tired, and they lie down on the reef and simply sleep for a while.

Xiao Lou was not asleep. He lowered his head as if thinking about something. After a long time, he secretly held Yu Hanjiang’s hand and quickly wrote a few words in the palm of Yu Hanjiang’s hand. Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, then gave Xiao Lou a look of “I understand”, and said softly, “Let’s rest for a while.”

Xiao Lou closed his eyes and did not sleep for half an hour.

Before long, a faint light gradually appeared on the sea level in the east, and it was already dawn. Xiao Lou woke everyone up and said, “Prepare for action. There are still 5 hours left for the transformation of the mermaid princess.”

The living habit of the mermaid is to go out at night, and it will be safer to act at dawn.

In order to facilitate underwater communication, Xiao Lou opened the [Team Voice Headset] card and gave each person a headset. He pressed the bump on the headset and said: “Xiao Liu, can you lead the way, let me follow Team Yu After the break.”

Liu Qiao nodded, plunged into the sea, and the silver fish tail drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo followed closely, and Mr. Shao, Xiaoye, Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and others also jumped into the deep sea one after another.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiaolou followed behind, and the group swam quickly towards the location of the sunken ship.

After adapting to the setting of “legs become fishtails”, everyone is swimming faster and faster in the sea.

Ye Qi has been a land duck for more than ten years, and he is afraid every time he goes into the water. He never thought that one day he could swim freely in the depths of the ocean, and even see the colorful fish in the ocean.

The deeper the sea, the more beautiful the scenery.

A magnificent picture of the bottom of the sea slowly unfolded in front of everyone. Corals of various colors are like large seabed flower beds covering the entire sea area. Fishes shuttle through the coral bushes. The colorful deep-sea fishes open the door to another world for everyone.

This is a mysterious, quiet, yet dangerous seabed.

There are cute little fishes as well as ferocious giant whales. The ocean is a place that has always followed the “survival of the fittest” rule. Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp. The weak have no right to survive at all.

It’s no wonder that the merman tribe would be interested in the Noah’s Ark Project. If the merman tribe is truly integrated with the genes of humans and zerg tribes and passed on, then the merman tribe will have a rare match and become the overlord of the entire ocean.

Liu Qiao said: “The sunken ship is just ahead.”

A group of people followed, and it didn’t take long for a military spacecraft to appear in the field of vision.

The craftsmanship of this spacecraft is very good, and the quality is high. Even if it is old, the metal shell of the spacecraft has no obvious traces of rust. Lu Jiuchuan swung his fishtail, quickly stepped forward and grabbed the cabin door, and entered the cabin first.

Others quickly followed.

Lu Jiuchuan walked into the control room, looked at a bird-like mark on the console, and said in a low voice: “This spacecraft should be the “Egret” starship retired from the Southern Theater 25 years ago. This bird-like mark , Which represents the Egret.”

Tang Ci was startled slightly, walked to Lu Jiuchuan, looked at the complicated control console and said, “It is indeed the control mode of more than 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, the Egret is…”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “General Lin’s starship.”

******

[Chapter 446, Major General Lin Zecheng]

The commander-in-chief of the southern military region of the empire, one of the few generals, is Lin Zecheng, Lin Yan’s biological father, and Xiao Lou’s nominal father-in-law.

Hearing this name, Xiao Lou immediately became energetic: “Brother Nine, can the Starship be reactivated after it is retired?”

Lu Jiuchuan shook his head: “No. According to the rules of the military department, the retired starship must be sealed. The Egret starship was retired 25 years ago. All Imperial soldiers know this.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “So, this group of people secretly drove the Egret to escape from the Capital Star? Since Egret is General Lin’s starship, this escape plan must be related to General Lin.” He looked at his teammates: “Everyone will be together in pairs. , Search for clues carefully, and use headphones to communicate in some cases.”

Xiao Lou asked: “Did you bring you here on the 5th? Did he damage the scene?”

Liu Qiao said, “No, he only checked the bones and said that the scene of the crime must be protected.”

Xiao Lou nodded: “Where is the body?”

“Here.” Liu Qiao led the way, and Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang quickly followed.

After passing through a long corridor, a silver-white cabin door appeared in front of him. Liu Qiao opened the cabin door. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang really saw ten human bones appearing in the house. These people had obviously experienced a struggle before they died. The posture is extremely distorted.

Xiao Lou leaned over and examined it carefully, and quickly came to the conclusion: “There are 8 men and 2 women. This little girl is indeed about 5 years old. Most of the others are young adults, and only one elderly person over 50 years old.”

At this time, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci also came over, and Lu Jiuchuan said: “A large amount of damage was found on the right rear of the starship. It should be that the defensive shield was shattered by the pressure of the deep sea when the starship was involved in the sea whirlpool. ”

Yu Hanjiang said: “This starship is not a professional submarine after all. It is difficult for ordinary aviation ships to withstand the water pressure in the depths of the ocean. The damage to the defensive cover is almost instantaneous. The water pressure crushed the internal organs.”

At this moment, Ye Qi suddenly said in the headset: “Huh? There seems to be a rag doll here?”

Xiao Lou turned around and came to Ye Qi, took the doll he picked up and took a closer look-this is a very good-quality Barbie doll, wearing a cute pink cake dress, and his golden hair was carefully combed into two. Only ponytail.

The cloth doll is made of special waterproof material, which is why it is still intact after so many years.

The warship, the ragdoll, it sounds like you can’t beat it…

But Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and soon thought of a key: “It is impossible for adults to bring a doll on the starship when they are escaping for their lives. A doll is generally a toy that little girls like. This starship There is the corpse of a 5-year-old girl on it. It is possible that the rag doll belongs to her.”

Yu Hanjiang immediately asked, “Will anyone kindly buy dolls for the copyists?”

Xiao Lou shook his head: “Twenty years ago, all clones should have been around 5 years old, but because they had not received human education, their IQ was still at the level of a newborn baby. A clone is a copy of the IQ of an infant. People, definitely don’t need toys to coax them, so it’s more likely that… the doll belongs to the little girl herself.”

Ye Qi’s eyes widened: “The little girl who died here is Lin Yan himself?!”

Xiao Lou nodded with a calm face, “Maybe there is also her biological father, General Lin Zecheng.”

Lu Jiuchuan stroked his chin carefully, and said, “General Lin Zecheng was in his thirties 20 years ago. He is not the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, but a major general who leads a legion like me. This Egret. The starship is the starship on which General Lin performed the mission. He is very familiar with this starship, so he took his daughter to escape from the capital star in an emergency?”

Xiao Lou returned to the cabin full of corpses, carefully watching the distribution of the surrounding corpses.

He found that there was a man next to the 5-year-old girl. The man’s arms held the girl’s shoulders tightly and protected the girl in his arms in a protective gesture, and the bones of this man did indeed look like An adult male in his 30s.

Xiao Lou pointed to the corpse and said, “This person should be General Lin Zecheng. When danger occurs, as a father, he subconsciously protects his daughter.”

Ye Qi’s spine stood upright: “Where did General Lin and Lin Yan from Capital Star come from? And Zhang Shaohua, who has amnesia?”

Shao Qingge said, “I’m afraid that family is all clones.”

Everyone: “…”

No wonder the behind-the-scenes murderer killed all the people who signed the plan, but only let go of Professor Zhang Shaohua. She looked stupid and didn’t even know her own daughter. Maybe she didn’t have memory loss, but she did. Duplicators have no memories of husbands and daughters at all?

Xiao Lou hurriedly said: “Teacher Qu is dangerous, please inform her to be careful!”

Shao Qingge wanted to notify the other party. Unfortunately, the signal was blocked in the deep sea. He couldn’t contact Qu Wanyue at all. Shao Qingge looked at his communication device with no signal and frowned, “Let’s talk about it when I leave the sea. She has a chameleon. The card can be integrated with the environment, and there should be no problems for a while.”

Yu Hanjiang asked everyone: “Are there any other clues?”

Tang Ci asked, “Go to senior, did you open the starship’s hatch when you came to investigate the case?”

Gui Yuanzhang said, “The hatch was open when we first came.”

Tang Ci said: “That means that someone has come before you, because the hatch of this starship must be opened with a password. It is very likely that someone from the Mermaid came to the starship and took away the materials related to the Noah’s Ark project. ”

Xiao Lou looked around and said, “These 10 human bones, apart from General Lin Zecheng and 5-year-old Lin Yan, the identities of the other 8 cannot be determined.”

Suddenly, Ye Qi walked to a corpse and stared blankly at the semicircular necklace on the opponent’s neck. Shao Qingge hurriedly came to Ye Qi’s side, gently grabbed Ye Qi’s wrist, and whispered: “What’s the matter?”

Ye Qi said, “This necklace…”

He unbuttoned the button and took out the exact same necklace he was wearing on his neck: “It’s a pair with mine.”

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes: “Is this bone, your biological father, General Ye Bowen?”

Tang Ci said: “From the official records, General Ye died on the front line. In this way, General Ye actually fled the Capital Star with General Lin and took a few clones and information about the Noah’s Ark Project. The so-called’sacrifice on the front line’ is a deliberately fabricated lie?”

Lu Jiuchuan said, “After all, a young general suddenly disappeared. It is difficult to explain clearly. Just use’death on the front line’ to explain?”

Shao Qingge frowned and said: “It seems that some people with strange causes of death in the plan are likely to be on this starship. They must have noticed that His Majesty is going to kill them, so they collectively brought the clones and the Noah’s Ark plan. The relevant information of the ran away from the Capital Star. Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky. They encountered the maritime vortex, but the information was stolen by the mermaid tribe.”

Xiao Lou looked back at Liu Qiao: “Your Majesty of the Mermaid Clan, that is, your father, do you think he has any problems?”

Liu Qiao shook his head: “Father is a very kind and amiable person. It’s not like knowing about copying people. I have never heard about this in the memory of the mermaid for 18 years.”

Xiao Lou then asked, “Does the mermaid have a deeper understanding of genes and biology?”

Gui Yuanzhang suddenly remembered something and said: “There is a mermaid elder named Karen Geer who likes to study this aspect of things. He has cultivated many deep-sea fishes that the mermaid can eat.”

Xiao Lou said: “Go back today, and check the elder tomorrow. I am worried that there will be problems with Teacher Qu.”

Everyone had no opinion, and left the starship collectively.

After returning to the deserted island, Xiao Lou asked Shao Qingge to contact Qu Wanyue. Soon, Qu Wanyue’s face appeared in the screen projected by Mr. Shao’s communicator. She was at home and saw everyone growing up. The tail couldn’t help but be surprised: “Why did you collectively become mermaids? Did you use Xiao Liu’s card?”

Xiao Lou said: “The clues found the deep-sea mermaid tribe, and they were just launched into the water collectively. By the way, Teacher Qu, have you found any abnormalities after tracking Zhang Shaohua in the past few days? The three of their family may be clones.”

Qu Wanyue was stunned: “A copy? I just wanted to tell you that Zhang Shaohua always looks dull and rarely communicates with Lin Yan and General Lin. He doesn’t even know his daughter Lin Yan and sits every day. Soaking in the sun in the yard, but last night, I used a chameleon card to hide in her bedroom and observed her for one night, and found that she would have frequent nightmares!”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other—have a nightmare?

If Angela Chang is a clone and has not been educated by humans, then she should be a carefree fool. How can she frequently have nightmares?

Qu Wanyue said: “Furthermore, when she woke up in the middle of the night, she still yelled’Yan Yan’ in her mouth. Although it was only once, I heard very clearly…what’s going on? She didn’t know Lin Yan during the day, so why did she dream? Lin Yan’s name was called out?”

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

People can control their emotions, even pretending to be dumb, but dreams are the only one that cannot be controlled.

Therefore, Angela Chang of Capital Star should be true.

Only the bones of two women were found on the starship. One was 5-year-old Lin Yan. Although the other was the same age as Angela Chang, she was very far away from Lin Yan and did not look like a close mother and daughter.

Zhang Shaohua noticed the crisis and asked her husband to take her daughter away first. Did she stay in Capital Star?

Or, she exchanged identities with the cloner, pretending to be dumb for so many years, wanting to wait for an opportunity?

Sorry for being late today, let’s go to bed~~ I wish you all have beautiful dreams, okay!
