Card Room - 368. Mime private 522

[Chapter 522, a new beginning]

When Xiao Lou and his party returned to the city this time, they chose Moon City.

At the beginning, Lao Mo rented a three-story villa on the outskirts of the Moon City as a team base. Before challenging the Double King’s Secret Room, Xiao Lou wanted to calm down and rest here, recharge his energy, and be fully prepared. .

The Moon City at this time happened to be at night. After entering the villa, Lu Jiuchuan looked around the house and couldn’t help but praised: “Your living environment is quite tall, and the decoration is very exquisite.”

Xiao Lou glanced at Lao Mo and said, “The decoration of this house was designed by Lao Mo himself.”

Lu Jiuchuan gave a thumbs up: “No wonder he is so professional.”

Old Mo smiled and said, “I just made it casually. Actually, this house was rented by the team I joined for the first time. I didn’t know how long I would stay in the card world at that time, so I wanted to tidy up. Where to live, I didn’t expect…Ah…”

Thinking of his teammates who were eliminated in Zhou Chang’s secret room at that time, Lao Mo’s smile gradually faded.

Tang Ci walked over and said, “Your teammate, did you encounter a hunter in Zhou Chang during that rotation of the maze?”

Old Mo nodded: “Yes, I’m the only one who survived…”

When Lao Mo joined the team, he also told Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang carefully that he was able to survive that Zhou Chang’s death because of his excellent perception of space. The path of the rotating maze was constantly changing. He moved around in the maze to avoid the hunter’s pursuit, and finally found the exit at the last minute and saved his life.

But his teammates were killed that week.

Tang Ci took out the computer and called up a row of data. Chao Xiaolou said: “The elimination rate of Zhou Chang’s secret room was about 80% in the rotating maze. Any challenger who was forced into the secret room without staggering the time will eventually Only 20% survived.”

This elimination rate is indeed terrible. Except for challengers who happened to be in other secret rooms at the time, they can avoid the weekly tasks, and the rest will be forcibly dragged into the weekly secret rooms. There are certainly not a few who have lost teammates like Lao Mo. It’s hard to imagine that the people around him suddenly disappeared, leaving him alone. What kind of perseverance did Lao Mo stick to.

Lu Jiuchuan felt deeply about this. He walked to Lao Mo, patted the other person’s shoulder lightly, and sighed: “It’s not easy for you. I heard that you have a daughter who is still in high school this year?”

Lao Mo nodded: “If my daughters weren’t taken care of, I wouldn’t stick to it until now.” He looked back at Xiao Lou: “I’m lucky. I met Professor Xiao and Team Yu and joined the new team. , Can actually pass all the way to K secret room.”

“Old Mo, you have also helped us a lot. Without you, we couldn’t find the way through the maze several times.” Xiao Louwen said, “We will definitely go back, and your daughter must be waiting for you in the real world. ”

Speaking of this topic, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but become red. Each of them had a reason to go back, and there was no reason to give up. It’s just that those hunters in K’s Secret Chamber made everyone think of it and their hearts were chilling.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said in a low voice: “We must find as many clues as possible about the hunters. This is our last chance.” He walked up to Tang Ci, looked at the computer screen and asked, “Mr. Tang, you can only Did you find the three brothers? Do they have any other teammates still alive?”

Tang Ci shook his head: “No. According to the information, the three of them formed a small team and came to Moon City after clearing the 4 of Spades. However, the three of them were too lucky and came to Moon City on Friday. , Not yet ready, was forcibly pulled into the labyrinth secret room at midnight on Saturday.”

Ye Qi couldn’t help but complain: “Then they are too unlucky, right? Their cards and maze secret rooms seem to be useless?”

Lao Mo personally experienced the rotating maze and said in agreement: “The maze was completely closed, and their cards were really useless. The kite could not fly, the tornado could not destroy the environment of the maze, and the only crystal ball that could be used was also It may be because the card owner did not react fast enough and failed to develop skills.”

Liu Qiao said: “That is to say, they were dragged into the difficult weekly dungeon just after they left the Novice Village, and they were unlucky enough to encounter the hunter when they were not prepared, and they were killed and the card was lost. In the hands of the hunter.”

Tang Ci said, “This is indeed the most reasonable speculation.”

He glanced at Lu Jiuchuan and lowered his voice: “What’s even more frightening is that there are countless people eliminated in the novice stage like the three brothers. In addition to the 80% elimination rate in the Zhou Chang Secret Room, there are also many spades. , There are also hunters in the Plum Blossom Chamber. Assuming that the cards of those challengers who are killed will fall into the hands of the hunters, then, the strength of the hunters…”

Lu Jiuchuan said with a calm face: “It will far exceed our expectations.”

It is estimated that the cards on the eliminated challengers should not be particularly strong, otherwise they will not be easy to be killed. However, quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. As long as a challenger has one S card, they kill ten, one hundred, How about a thousand?

The cards that the hunter organization holds are absolutely massive, but it is not yet certain how they distribute the cards. Whoever picks up the head will go to whom? Or assign high-intensity cards based on merit?

Tang Ci looked serious: “What’s even more strange is that apart from these three brothers, the other cards you mentioned, such as Dark Alley, Poisoned Silver Needle, Red Oiled Paper Umbrella, Illusion Copy, etc., cannot be checked from the database. Now, I can’t determine the source of these cards.”

Xiao Lou guessed: “Could it be that some single challengers kept their cards secret and fell into the hands of the hunters after death? Or, after the hunters completed the designated tasks, like us, Can you draw treasure chests?”

Tang Ci stared at the screen thoughtfully: “Both are possible. Suppose, this card world consists of three types of people: challengers, hunters, and innocent aborigines. Our challenger’s task is to shuttle Different secret rooms solve puzzles, and the task of the hunter is to kill us. The aborigines are like NPCs in the game, which play a role in promoting the plot.”

Ye Qi, who often plays online games, nodded in agreement and said: “In this way, most of the doubts can be explained. The aborigines are NPCs, which will affect the plot trend of some dungeons; our challenger and the hunter are opposites. ‘Players’, the task is different. We pass the dungeon and draw treasure chests to get rewards, the hunter kills us to pick up equipment, or complete the missions to draw treasure chests to get rewards?”

Liu Qiao couldn’t help but said: “This way, wouldn’t it be very unfair to us? We not only have to deal with difficult NPCs, but also with the hunters who want our lives at any time… and the hunters just need to stare. Just let us kill?”

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Perhaps the hunter also has special tasks. For example, in a secret room, you must kill several people to pass the level. At the beginning, in the Q secret room, the cloner did not deliberately lead us to the mission to destroy us. Is the mermaid palace?”

Xiao Lou lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, “Han Jiang also made sense. During the undercover hunter organization, Brother Nine was constantly accepting tasks and traveling through different worlds to hunt’outlanders’. It might be Brother Nine at the time. Without contact with the high-level hunters, the tasks received are relatively simple.”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “So, in that concert stampede accident, the singer Luo Yan received a difficult hunting mission? She killed thousands of people in one concert!”

Recalling the hell-like concert scene at that time, the deafening screams around seemed to be still in his ears, Xiao Lou could not help but turn pale and said: “For them, killing is commonplace. They are already numb. In his eyes, human lives are like weeds, killing thousands of people is like trampling to death a group of ants.”

About to face such a terrible organization, everyone’s heart couldn’t help but a chill ran through.

Ye Qi asked: “Did you really decide to go to the Double Kings Secret Room? This time there might be no return, death there…”

Xiao Lou looked at his teammates gently: “You can also choose the ultimate reward package and stay in the card world. If someone doesn’t want to take risks, they can find the double king to get the reward now and withdraw from the team. I respect everyone’s choice. .”

The room suddenly fell silent. Although everyone was struggling, no one wanted to give up at this time.

Yu Hanjiang glanced over his teammates one by one, and said indifferently: “Since no one gives up, let’s try our best. Tonight, everyone should have a good rest and keep up their spirits; the remaining three days will be carefully practiced with your cards, and you will be perfect. It even forms a life-saving reaction of conditioned reflex when being attacked.”

Lu Jiuchuan said: “I and Han Jiang will be responsible for this. During the three-day special training, we will teach you some contingency strategies for heads-ups based on the cards in your hand. Everyone can’t take a break while guaranteeing a rest. Too lax.”

Xiao Lou suddenly looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “By the way, should we agree on a secret sign?”

Yu Hanjiang was startled: “Signal?”

He quickly understood what Xiao Lou meant, and said, “Are you worried that there will be clones again?”

Xiao Loudao: “After all, the clone of the Q Secret Chamber made us almost buried in the interstellar. This has to be prevented. Besides, in addition to the clone, the hunter may have a card that can duplicate the appearance? Like nine? Brother’s [Mask] and Liu Qiao’s [Twins], can’t you copy the characters?”

They all say that it’s hard to guard against every defense, and it’s hard to guard against house thieves. The hunters know that they are not afraid. They are afraid that someone will pretend to be Xiaolou, Yu Hanjiang and other familiar teammates, taking advantage of others, and suddenly stabbing in the back.

Xiao Lou’s concerns really need to be taken seriously.

Yu Hanjiang made a decisive decision: “Well, from now on, each of us will say a few words to our teammates and whisper in the ears of our teammates so as not to be monitored.”

Xiao Lou reminded: “This passage has nothing to do with the card world, and it has nothing to do with your real world experience. The more natural the conversation, the better. For example, what did you eat today? The weather today is not bad. It is a daily dialogue that is not easy to arouse suspicion, but the answer should be special, and it is not easy to get the correct answer by chance.”

Yu Hanjiang added: “After entering the Double Kings level, I don’t know whether we will be together or apart. Assuming that the opening is separated, when you meet any teammate, you must first ask the opponent’s password. If the password is wrong, you must pay attention to the opponent. It is likely that the hunter pretended to be.”

Everyone: “…”

This is almost the same as a spy war drama. Next time in the secret room, you need to talk for a while before you can determine whether the opponent is a friendly or an enemy.

Everyone began to rack their brains to think about this “signal”, Yu Hanjiang suddenly leaned into Xiao Lou’s ear, and whispered: “Does Professor Xiao have a girlfriend? I have a colleague who is very beautiful. Would you like to introduce it to you?”

Xiao Lou thought for a while, then leaned to Yu Hanjiang’s ear and replied: “No, I already have someone I like, and I’m planning to visit his parents in two days.”

The corner of Yu Hanjiang’s mouth raised slightly. Seeing that his teammates were checking the codes in pairs, his lips moved forward and kissed Xiao Lou’s ear lightly, and said in a low voice, “My parents will love you very much.”

Xiao Lou’s ears turned red and said, “Can you be more serious about the secret signal?”

Yu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows: “This code between us, do you think anyone can guess the correct answer?”

Xiao Lou thinks about it, too. It is indeed difficult to match it verbatim. This is also the little secret between them.

Half an hour later, the teammates had checked the secret codes, and Xiao Lou listened to the words the other ten people said to him, and wrote them down carefully. Seeing that the time is getting late, Xiao Lou suggested that everyone go to bed first, and then wake up the next day to receive special training from Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang.

For the next three days, in addition to Tang Ci, who had been searching for information about the hunters, everyone else had to practice reaction skills with Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang every day, such as how to protect themselves when they were attacked from behind; how to pass their steps. Sound, breathing sound to judge the position of the other party, etc…

Although this knowledge cannot be fully grasped in the short term, it is better than nothing. Maybe it can be helpful at critical moments.

Three days passed quickly. On the last day, Xiao Lou personally cooked and cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

Professor Xiao’s cooking skills have always been well received. It’s just this meal that everyone feels uncomfortable in their hearts. Lu Jiuchuan boldly opened a bottle of red wine, filled twelve glasses, and stood up and said, “Don’t hold your face, we Should be happy!”

Tang Ci was startled, his pale face eased slightly, and said, “In fact, for all of us, we have died once in the real world. It is God’s favor to be able to come back to life in the card world. ”

Xiao Lou also stood up and said, “What’s more, I met you in this world… so many friends.”

Ye Qi smiled and said: “Yeah! I don’t think it is a loss no matter what. I live again and can pass the customs with so many friends. I am already very content! If it weren’t for meeting everyone, maybe I would be there. 5 of spades and 5 of hearts will be eliminated.”

Long Sen scratched his head and said: “I am also with Wanyue, thanks to everyone. I am stupid, not very good at talking, otherwise, if I can return to the real world, when I marry Wanyue, everyone will have all the air tickets and accommodations. All inclusive, please come and have a wedding drink!”

Qu Wanyue’s eyes were slightly red, and she raised her cup and said, “I can meet you and live in this world in vain.”

Gui Yuan Zhang said: “My old bone, in fact, has long been bearish on life and death. I don’t care much in the real world, but I admire your courage. Now that I have determined my goal, I will go to the end.”

Lao Mo joked: “After you go back, you can find me to buy a house and decorate it. I will design it for you personally, so that you are satisfied!”

Shao Qingge said with a smile: “Look to me for investment and financial management, and I will help everyone make money.”

Liu Qiao has always been calm, and her eyes are a little red at this time. She looked at everyone and said, “I hope that when I return to reality, I can save my sister, graduate successfully, and be a good doctor. Thank you everyone for taking care of me during this time. .”

Chu Huaying didn’t talk much, and said lightly: “Don’t be too pessimistic, it’s a big deal to die again, what’s to be afraid of.”

Yu Hanjiang finally raised his glass and said: “Everyone made this glass, for everyone’s encounter, and also for the last secret room. If we can return to the real world, we will still be friends for a lifetime. If we can’t leave alive…”

He paused, his eyes calm and firm, but when he looked at Xiao Lou, there was a hint of gentleness: “This life is not in vain.”

Xiao Lou met him and smiled, and everyone drank the red wine in the glass together.

The clock points to 23:59.

Xiao Lou opened his personal space and saw the familiar wall of cards, and the last card that appeared alternately between the kings and the kings, and the only card without the “cleared” mark.

He stretched out his hand and gently drew the last card from the card wall.
