Card Room - 335
[Chapter 485 Ghost Town Crisis]
Since Xiao Lou couldn’t get in touch with other teammates, Xiao Lou was very anxious and frowned tightly.
Looking at his serious face, Yu Hanjiang comforted him in a low voice, “Don’t worry too much. Brother Nine and the four have the ability to protect themselves. Mr. Shao and Ye Qi have Tao Yuanming in their hands. They can hide in Taohuayuan if they encounter danger. Maybe it’s just a disconnection, they Nothing happened.”
Xiao Lou opened the team contract, and the twelve names on the signature page were all there, and the team-limited [Resurrection Card] and [Time Recall Card] had not been used-the name is still there, at least it proves that all the teammates are alive.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Since we can’t reach them, let’s do what we should do first. Investigate this ghost town and see if we can find a clue.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded his head in agreement, holding the earphones and saying: “Everyone jump out of the window and meet as soon as possible.”
After a while, a group of six people gathered at the downstairs of the inn.
Liu Qiao stepped forward with concern and asked, “Professor Xiao, are you okay? His face is a little ugly.”
Xiao Lou grinned reluctantly: “It’s okay, I’m just worried about the teammates who suddenly lost contact. Fortunately, they are all alive, and the names on the contract are…” He turned his head to look at the dark alley and said, “Let’s go. Investigate for a while, and then think of a way to rendezvous with Brother Nine and the others after dawn.”
A group of people walked forward following Xiao Lou.
The town of Qingfeng at night seemed to have suddenly become an empty city. No sound could be heard in the town. Even the moon and stars above the head seemed to be covered. It was completely dark with no fingers in sight.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang took out two night pearls to illuminate.
Several people walked forward for a few minutes, and Lao Mo suddenly wondered: “I remember that in the daytime, the alley behind the inn should be about 100 steps in length. How come the road seems to be longer at night?”
This dark alley looks like it has no end.
Yu Hanjiang was also alert, and asked in a deep voice: “Last night we went to the ghost town and walked most of the town’s paths. Haven’t we encountered such a long alley?”
Lao Mo took out the topographic map of the maze he painted last night, with a certain tone: “No, the maze we walked last night is similar to a honeycomb maze. The roads are all twists and turns, and there is no such long and straight alley.”
Qu Wanyue said: “I also remember the ghost city maze last night. Most of them turned around once in ten steps. We walked for hundreds of steps but kept walking in a straight line. Could it be that the maze will change every night?”
Liu Qiao didn’t follow everyone in last night. When she heard this, she guessed: “Will the ghost city maze at night change according to the plot of the night?”
Xiao Lou thought so too. He looked at Liu Qiao and said, “There is indeed such a possibility. Last night we saw Miss Zhao married and Mrs Chen gave birth. There are different plot clues tonight, and the maze will change accordingly. …In other words, the ghost towns are different every night, which will cause a lot of inconvenience to our investigation.”
Long Sen murmured: “So, the maze map that Lao Mo drew last night, can’t you use it tonight?”
Lao Mo looked depressed. He turned the white handkerchief over and sighed: “Oh, I can only repaint it. There is a maze every night. Is this little girl trying to toss us to death?”
Liu Qiao shrugged: “I never thought she was cute. If Brother Nine was there, she would definitely call her a pervert.”
Xiao Lou said helplessly: “Let’s go, I don’t know what the ghost town is like tonight.”
The group of people continued along the narrow alley. Maps drawn by Lao Mo will be scaled proportionally. For example, one centimeter on the map is equal to ten steps in reality, so it looks more intuitive.
He drew a long straight line on the back of the handkerchief with his fingers. Strangely, the straight line had no end.
I don’t know how long it has been, Lao Mo stopped, looked down at the map he had drawn, and frowned, “It has been more than 200 steps, why is there no exit in this alley?”
Liu Qiao looked around and said, “Isn’t there a family around in such a long alley?”
Xiao Lou turned his head and looked behind him, and the inn that had just jumped down seemed to be gone. Under the light of Ye Mingzhu, the whole alley appeared extremely empty, and only the shadows of the six of them were dragged on the ground for a long time.
A dark and quiet environment can easily amplify people’s tension infinitely.
The six people stayed in the empty alley, looking at each other.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Try to see if there is a way to the side.” At the beginning of the tomb maze, they also encountered endless steps. The result was an illusion. The way out was actually on the side. It was a normal reaction for Yu Hanjiang to try the side.
Xiao Lou knew what he was going to do and took a step back consciously.
Yu Hanjiang took out a sharp saber, raised his head, and slashed hard against the wall——
This knife cuts iron like mud, and Yu Hanjiang’s strength is so great. The teammates thought that the wall would be cut by him. However, when Yu Hanjiang went down, the wall remained motionless, but Yu Hanjiang’s knife was sucked in like a sponge. In the wall!
An extremely strong force pulled Yu Hanjiang. Seeing that his arm was about to be sucked into the wall, Xiao Lou hurriedly grabbed his other hand and pulled back desperately: “Hanjiang, be careful!”
Yu Hanjiang reacted extremely quickly and immediately put away the cards.
Xiao Lou was undecided, grabbing Yu Hanjiang’s hand and asked, “Is it all right?”
Yu Hanjiang shook his head: “It’s okay. There is a problem with this wall, please don’t get close!” If the knife just now was not a card, it must have been sucked away by the wall at this time. Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang stopped fast enough, otherwise he would lose one in vain. A knife.
Liu Qiao’s face turned pale, her eyes on the wall looked like a monster, and she whispered: “Will it be a visual illusion? Or, we have encountered a real “ghost hitting the wall” and will never walk. Out of this alley?”
In order to verify Liu Qiao’s problem, Xiao Lou took out a compass, drew a circle, and threw it at the wall.
As before, the ring was automatically sucked into the wall and disappeared quickly without leaving any traces.
The walls on both sides of the alley are like monsters that can eat people.
Lao Mo suddenly said: “Look carefully, the bricks on the ground and on the walls are different from the bricks used in the construction of Qingfeng Town, and they are also different from the ones encountered in the ghost town last night. The gatekeepers change the maze, there is no need to connect. Replace all the bricks, right?”
Lao Mo is the most professional in the use of building materials. When Xiao Lou heard this, he also noticed that it was wrong. Although the light is dim and the lines on the bricks cannot be seen clearly, whether in Qingfeng Town during the day or in the ghost town last night, ancient stone bricks are used, which are not so smooth and smooth, and some moss may even grow in the cracks of the floor tiles.
But in the alleys tonight, the ground and walls are extremely smooth, a bit like cyan marble?
The technology of ancient brick kilns is far from such a level.
Xiao Lou was stunned, and suddenly thought of a possibility: “This is not a maze, but a card effect. Someone shut us into a closed space!”
Almost as soon as Xiao Lou’s voice fell, there was a scream of “quack” around him suddenly, Yu Hanjiang suddenly turned his head, and illuminated Ye Mingzhu behind him——I saw an overwhelming crow flying from behind like a black cloud, screaming and rushing towards him. Everyone!
Yu Hanjiang had never seen so many crows in his life. Those crows filled the alleys densely, almost drowning all six of them.
The speed of the crow flock was extremely fast, and Liu Qiao, who was standing at the end, was almost blinded by the crow. She hurriedly flew up and threw a little Red Riding Hood as her stand-in. Almost instantly, Little Red Riding Hood was overwhelmed by the crows. Liu Qiao was frightened, and quickly released the fairy tale card Aisha he had drawn before—
Snow is coming!
Aisha’s card was just drawn after clearing the Q Secret Room. Liu Qiao used it for the first time today.
I saw the extremely gorgeous ice and snow rustle falling down, and the air behind her was completely frozen in an instant, and the sound of frost freezing living creatures came from my ears!
The flying crows were frozen by the ice and snow, and collectively turned into frozen crows, like ice sculptures, frozen in the air in various strange postures.
Liu Qiao flew back to Xiaolou’s side with a pale face, and said, “It’s a hunter again!”
Xiao Lou looked at the group of frozen crows in front of him, and said softly: “Be careful, everyone. This time the hunter is very capable.”
I just met the “girl ghost” with hair flying everywhere, and now someone has shut them in the alley and put a group of crows to attack them…
Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: “This alley should also be a kind of’space field’ card, forcibly pulling us into a closed place.”
Old Mo was stunned, and said: “Then how do we get out?”
Xiao Lou helpless: “We can’t get out without the owner’s permission, just like my Taohuayuan.” However, the environment of Taohuayuan looks very beautiful. There are peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains, but this time the environment is dark alleys. .
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said: “The domain generally has time limits. Taohuayuan is 3 hours. Since his card can force us into a dark alley, the time should be calculated based on the strength of the S card. It will not take more than 3 hours.”
Liu Qiao said: “In other words, we have to live as far as possible to survive these 3 hours?”
In the original Q secret room, Xiao Lou once dragged the mermaid clones into the Peach Blossom Spring and burned them down. In fact, if you think about it in another way, it is inevitable that they will become prey and be dragged into other realms.
As the difficulty of the level increases, the strength of the challenger becomes stronger and stronger, and the hunter will naturally not be too weak.
Xiao Lou whispered to his teammates: “Everyone, come here, gather back to back, get your cards ready, and be ready to fight at any time.”
When the teammates heard it, they immediately leaned against Xiao Lou. The six people formed a circle and looked around vigilantly.
However, nothing happened next.
Ten minutes…twenty minutes…
Compared with Xiao Lou’s nervousness and extreme alertness, this hunter seemed very patient.
I don’t know how long it has passed, and the surrounding environment still hasn’t changed. The dark alley is so quiet that needles fall.
Although everyone was tired, they did not dare to relax. The large area of ice and snow that Liu Qiao made with cards has gradually melted, but no one can say if something else will attack them.
At this moment, a large number of green vines suddenly appeared under everyone’s feet, and those vines quickly wrapped around everyone’s legs as if they were conscious!
Yu Hanjiang’s expression changed, and he immediately swung his saber to cut the vines under his feet. Xiao Lou hurriedly took out the compasses and drew an invincible circle around his teammates.
The green vine spread its teeth and claws outside the invincible circle, but couldn’t get close to them.
However, the invincible circle can only last for 10 minutes. Once so many green vines get out of control, they will surely break their necks quickly! What’s more frightening is that until now, the hunter hasn’t shown up, and no one knows how many cards he has.
Xiao Lou whispered in Yu Hanjiang’s ears: “We can’t sit still like this anymore. Since he can attack us with various cards, then he must be in this field too, and we must find him as soon as possible.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded, his eyes flashed sharply: “Yes. There is another way to crack this closed domain-is to kill its owner.”
