Card Room - 99
【Chapter 119, Challengers Association】
Xiao Lou thought that the person who was looking for someone at the airport must be a friend Yu Hanjiang knew in the real world.
However, as soon as the three of them turned and walked towards the airport, they heard the announcer’s soft voice again on the radio: “The radio is looking for someone, tourists from other places, Mr. Xiao Lou, Mr. Xiao Lou, please come to the airport information desk, there are friends there. Wait for you.”
The three stopped at the same time and looked at each other for a while.
Yu Hanjiang frowned: “Do you have friends looking for you too?”
Xiao Lou shook his head: “It shouldn’t be. No one of my friends in the real world died accidentally in recent years. If something happens after me, then they won’t pass the fourth level so quickly.”
Liu Qiao suddenly thought of a possibility, and asked, “Could it be because the two of you set the secret room record before, so there is a challenger organization looking for you? I saw the news in the floating frame above my head at that time. Among the newcomers, you are the most famous challengers.”
Liu Qiao’s statement also makes sense. No matter what the situation is, since the other party is calling them at the airport, it is difficult for the two of them to ignore them directly. Who the hell is, just go and see.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, then turned and continued to walk towards the information desk.
The three of them walked to the information desk, and a woman wearing sunglasses leaned on the side and waited quietly. The woman was taller than 1.75 meters, thin, with a typical melon-seeded face, white skin, and big sexy curly hair. After seeing the three of them, she took the initiative to walk over and said, “Excuse me, are they Mr. Yu and Mr. Xiao from outside?”
Yu Hanjiang nodded, and the woman took off her sunglasses and proactively stretched out her hand: “Hello, my name is Xue Mingyue.”
Xiao Lou didn’t remember this person, and looked at Yu Hanjiang suspiciously. Yu Hanjiang did not reach out to hold her hand, but said directly: “Sorry, I don’t know you.”
Xue Mingyue smiled slightly: “I know you enough.” She glanced at the passengers around and said: “Take a step to speak.”
The three followed her to a secluded corner of the airport. Xue Mingyue looked around vigilantly before saying: “There were a lot of locals at the information desk just now, it is not easy to speak.” She lowered her voice, “I am also a challenger. , The president sent me to pick you up. The two have set the world record in the Chamber of Hearts, and they are the strongest challengers in this group of newcomers.”
Realizing that the other party was not malicious, Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and asked, “Guild leader? What is the chairman?”
Xue Mingyue said: “Challengers Alliance [Remote Guild], one of the largest guilds in Moon City, our guild has only one principle-to do everything possible to go back. We all know that our hometown is far away, not here. here.”
The goals of this guild coincided with Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.
The two looked at each other and continued to listen.
Xue Mingyue found that the two looked serious, and went on to say: “We will select some very strong challengers from each batch of newcomers and invite them to join the guild. The guild will form an elite team to cope with the world week and subsequent high difficulties. The two of them performed well in the Chamber of Hearts and broke many world records. Therefore, our president’Old Ghost’ has been paying attention to you very early.”
She said a long list, and Yu Hanjiang captured the key information from it, frowned and asked: “World Weekly? What do you mean?”
Xue Mingyue said: “There are many people at the airport, please two…” She found that a girl with an indifferent look was always behind them, and she changed her words awkwardly: “Please three follow me back to the guild headquarters, our president thought Chat with you in person.”
Xiao Lou was worried about fraud, but the main city looked peaceful, and he probably wouldn’t use force openly. The firearms of the Yu team are there, and he is not afraid even if he uses force. But he still kept his eyes on him and looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “Team Yu, please wait a few minutes for me, I want to go to the bathroom.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded very cooperatively: “Okay, I’m waiting for you here.”
Before Xiao Lou left, he secretly opened Qin Guan’s “If the relationship is long-lasting” skill with Yu Hanjiang, and the channel is established in his heart, and what he thinks in his mind can be immediately conveyed to Yu Hanjiang’s mind.
After a few seconds, Xiao Lou’s voice rang in Yu Hanjiang’s mind: “Team Yu, we have been closed to the barrier before, but we did not expect our name to appear in the challenger’s floating box announcement many times. Now, almost the entire card world The challengers know that we both exist. This is a good thing and a bad thing.”
Yu Hanjiang understood what he meant: “I understand. Xue Mingyue’s origin is unknown. The credibility of the Challenger Alliance she said is still uncertain. I plan to learn more about it with her, but he must be defensive. , We must be prepared to retreat at any time.”
Xiao Lou said: “I think so too. I will open Tao Yuanming’s Peach Blossom Spring in a place where no one is there. If the situation is not right within 30 minutes, we will immediately send it back to the airport.”
Yu Hanjiang appreciates Professor Xiao’s caution, and immediately agrees: “Okay, just do what you said.”
Xue Mingyue found that since Xiao Lou went to the bathroom, the handsome man in front of him fell silent. He stared lightly at the ground, and his slender fingers touched his chin, as if thinking about something. As for the girl who was a head shorter than her, she didn’t speak from beginning to end, just like a little follower with a very low sense of existence.
Xue Mingyue didn’t bother loudly. She didn’t even know that Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were having a “supernatural friendship” at this time.
Xiao Lou came back soon, his hands were still wet, apparently he had just washed it.
Of course, you have to do a full set of acting. Xiao Lou smiled and said, “Let’s go.”
Xue Mingyue took the three of them to the parking lot. She drove a red car. The license plate should be from the card world. She had never seen it in reality. Liu Qiao consciously sat in the co-driver, leaving the back row to Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, who got into the car one after another.
The space in the back row is extremely spacious. Xiao Lou asked, “This car is very good. How much does it cost to sell in the card world?”
Xue Mingyue curled her mouth: “Change to RMB, it’s about ten or twenty thousand.” Seeing Xiao Lou’s surprised gaze in the rearview mirror, she shrugged and said: “The world is really low prices. Buying a car and buying a house is very It’s easy, so many challengers have stayed here for a long time, attracted by the ultra-low prices here, and don’t want to go back.”
Xiao Lou had expected it a long time ago, but when she heard it personally, it was still uncomfortable in her heart.
The vehicle started, and Xue Mingyue drove into the airport expressway. The roads of Moon City extend in all directions, and there are several layers of air highways, and traffic jams are basically non-existent. The road scenery here is very beautiful. Street lights are hung on the trees. The tall trees beside the road form a natural shade of green. The vines hanging down look like a large green waterfall from a distance.
The car is driving on the highway, just like traveling through the jungle.
Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window and the endless starry sky, Xiao Lou chatted with Xue Mingyue one after another.
From Xue Mingyue’s mouth, he knew that the ratio of aboriginals to challengers in Moon City is about 6:4. The city has about 40 million challengers, 60 million aboriginals, and a total population of over 100 million. Beishangguang in the Earth Age is much bigger.
Xue Mingyue said: “The only difference between aboriginals and challengers is that they go to work from Monday to Friday, and are off on Saturday and Sunday. However, challengers still need to pass through the barriers on Saturdays and Sundays at a fixed time, and they are likely to go there. No reply.”
Xiao Lou guessed: “Is it the world’s weekly routine that you call the pass every weekend?”
Xue Mingyue nodded: “World Week often forces all challengers to go. There will be a mysterious force that will draw us directly into a large world of secret rooms, and we will live and die. Therefore, many locals will wonder how we outsiders always He disappeared after a while…In fact, he was not missing, but died in the secret room.”
Her eyes were looking straight ahead, and a trace of loss flashed in her eyes: “So, even if we live a normal life in this world, it is still precarious…No one knows if she can come back alive next week. ”
Liu Qiao, who was sitting in the co-driver, glanced at her, and said the first sentence since seeing her: “Is the Zhou Chang secret room random?”
Xue Mingyue said: “Yes, it may be any of hearts, squares, spades, and clubs.”
Xiao Lou frowned and said: “I remember that there were tens of millions of challengers who entered the main city, and they sucked so many people into the same secret room? What is the story of the secret room of Hearts Suspense where tens of millions of people participated? ”
Xue Mingyue smiled and explained: “Tens of millions of people will be scattered to different copies of the same secret room. The maximum number of people in each secret room is only a hundred people. If it is a red peach secret room, there are probably only a dozen people. “She glanced at Xiao Lou from the rearview mirror, and said: “In fact, this is very similar to the game world. We are game players, and we are forced to do weekend missions. The aborigines are NPCs who don’t need to do missions.”
There was silence in the car.
Xiao Lou looked out the window thoughtfully–unexpectedly, in addition to the fixed level breakthrough, the challengers would also have a random weekly schedule every week.
The weekly mission will pull all tens of millions of challengers into the world of secret rooms, which may be complicated murders, large mazes, or survival chambers with extremely poor conditions, or the two camps in the plum blossom chamber will be eliminated directly.
Challengers will experience a thrilling life and death game every week.
Maybe the person who was talking to you yesterday will never come back after this weekend…
Therefore, no matter how good the material conditions are in this world, the challengers actually have no sense of “security”. Everyone does not know whether they can survive the weekend, even if they come back alive this week, what about the next week?
If you want to live a truly stable life, there is only one way-clear the SS secret room and return to the real world.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and looked at Yu Hanjiang sitting beside him. It just so happened that Team Yu looked back at him as if feeling, and the two exchanged glances and continued to communicate with each other mentally.
Yu Hanjiang said: “World Weekly, it should be a random secret room every week, which is not the same as a fixed secret room with 52 playing cards. Moreover, all challengers must do weekly. This task is definitely not too simple.”
Xiao Loudao: “Weekly weekends are the world weekly routine, so other secret rooms can only be cleared from Monday to Friday if you want to clear them?”
Yu Hanjiang agreed: “For us, challenging a secret room is like going to work.”
The two men exchanged spirits all the way, and soon Xue Mingyue’s voice rang in his ears: “Here.”
She parked her car in front of a beautifully designed building.
This is a three-storey villa, constructed of pure solid wood. At this time, the villa is shining with warm yellow lights.
There is a small river in front, and you can reach the door of the villa by crossing the river along the wooden plank road. The front door is full of flowers and surrounded by tall trees. A swimming pool the size of a basketball court has also been built, which can be seen here. The owner will enjoy life very much.
Xue Mingyue led everyone to the door and knocked gently on the door: “President, the person you are looking for has arrived.”
A low voice came from inside the house: “Bring them in.”
The three walked into the villa.
Sitting on the sofa was a man in his forties. He was sitting upright and wearing a gray Chinese tunic suit. His first impression was very cultivated. The entire villa is decorated in a pure Chinese style, with a full set of solid wood furniture, which looks extremely magnificent.
There is a set of exquisite tea sets on the coffee table, and he is making tea in the teapot at this time.
The man raised his head and glanced at the three of them. There was an aura of irritation in his expression. He said faintly: “Three, please sit down. I’ve made the tea. Let’s drink and talk.”
The three had to walk over and sit down opposite him.
The man introduced himself: “My name is Gui Yuanzhang, and I am a calligrapher in the real world.”
Xiao Lou took the teacup from him and said in surprise: “Mr. Gui? I have heard of you.”
Gui Yuanzhang looked back at him: “Really?”
Xiao Loudao: “My father loves calligraphy very much and has collected some of your works.”
Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said, “That’s really an honor.”
He handed the exquisite and small purple tea cups that had made tea to the three people separately, and said: “Xiao Xue should have told you before. I pay attention to the two because the two set the world record in the secret room of hearts. I am looking for information. The bureau has checked that Team Yu is a police officer in reality, and Professor Xiao is a forensic doctor. The two powerful team members make it easy to live in the Heart of Secret Chamber, right?”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were shocked-unexpectedly he could find out the details of the two.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “The Intelligence Bureau, can we find out who we are in reality?”
Gui Yuanzhang smiled slightly: “Yes, the Intelligence Bureau is also a challenger organization. It has collected a lot of intelligence from challengers and the aborigines. They can answer whatever they want to ask as long as they can afford it.”
When Liu Qiao heard this, he couldn’t help but gently clenched his fist—there is actually an organization like the [Intelligence Bureau], can she ask about the whereabouts of her sister through the Intelligence Bureau?
Gui Yuanzhang glanced at her: “The little girl seems to have something on her mind?”
Liu Qiao didn’t say anything about her sister. It might be the girl’s sixth sense that was at work. She always felt that Mr. Gui felt a little strange to her. She didn’t dare to expose her weakness in front of strangers. What if the other party knows that she still has a sister, and uses her sister to threaten her?
Thinking of this, Liu Qiao said calmly: “It’s nothing, but I think the organization of the Intelligence Bureau is a bit magical.” She quickly changed the subject: “Mr. Gui, just now Miss Xue said that the ultimate goal of your association is to return to reality, yes. ?”
Gui Yuanzhang nodded: “Yes.”
Liu Qiao said, “How many people are there in your association?”
Gui Yuanzhang smiled and said: “We [The Far Place Guild] is one of the largest card associations in the world, with more than 10,000 members.”
Liu Qiao asked sharply: “Then why did the gatekeeper tell me that so far, no one has succeeded in breaking through the gate?”
Gui Yuanzhang fell silent suddenly.
Xiao Lou didn’t expect Xiao Liu to have sharp teeth. Just now he was really afraid that this girl would be excited to tell her sister’s affairs. If someone pinches her weakness, she will be in trouble at that time. Fortunately, Liu Qiao is cautious enough. Telling strangers too much. Knowing the existence of the Intelligence Bureau, if you find your sister, she can find it by herself. This is the wisest way.
Her question is very crucial, and the three of them are waiting for Mr. Gui’s answer.
After a while, Gui Yuanzhang said: “Because the back room is too difficult, we once organized an elite team of 10 people. Among them, there are reasoning writers, sports school athletes, dance teachers, Olympiad champions, singers, painters… Almost the most cutting-edge talents in various industries were gathered. As a result, they only went to the S-class secret room, and they disappeared completely.”
He took a sip of the tea from the purple sand teacup, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: “Even the Intelligence Bureau can’t find out their whereabouts. They should all have died in the secret room of Hearts J.”
Xiao Lou couldn’t help being horrified.
The analytical ability of reasoning writers should not be worse than that of him and team Yu; the Olympiad champions may be more powerful than him in solving calculation problems; athletes are very strong, dance teachers are physically flexible, singers, painters and other professionals will play miraculous effects when they encounter some levels. ——Unexpectedly, such a strong team failed to pass the level?
Gui Yuan Zhang said: “Since then, many people have dared not to challenge the secret room above J. At present, the average progress of the secret room in the whole world is the seventh level, and the highest level only stops at the tenth level.”
A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: “Although we insist on wanting to go back, but to form such an elite team, the guild is already badly injured and it is difficult to replicate.” He looked up at the two of them, “You two’s. Appearing gives me a little confidence.”
Xue Mingyue smiled next to him and said: “Since Team Yu entered the card world and set the record of 2 of Hearts [Rose Funeral], the president has been paying attention to you. There are many masters in our guild. If a few want to go back, Consider joining us.”
Gui Yuan Zhang said: “The subsequent secret room will become more and more difficult. Only by gathering a large number of masters can there be hope of clearance.”
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were touched by the words, but they did not make a hasty decision.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Gui, we can’t give an answer right away, because we still have a few friends who were separated when they entered the main city. When they arrive, we will tell you the decision after consultation. ”
Gui Yuan Zhang was startled: “You are not a double-player? I remember the world record is only the names of you two.”
Xiao Lou explained with a smile: “It’s a friend I met in the Secret Room of Spades. Everyone is like-minded. We can talk about it in advance and form a team together. We can’t say nothing.”
Gui Yuanzhang asked, “I can help you find them. What are the names of those friends?”
Xiao Lou shook his head: “Don’t bother you, we have arranged a meeting place, now the time is about to come, let’s go back first and meet a few friends.”
Gui Yuanzhang said enthusiastically, “Don’t you stay at my home tonight?”
Xiao Lou stood up and said, “Don’t bother, after careful consideration, we will visit the door in person.”
The other party smiled, no longer forced the family, let Xue Mingyue send them back.
Xiao Lou said that he had made an appointment with a friend to join the square in the city center. Xue Mingyue put the three of them in the central square, followed closely, Xiao Lou brought Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao to a corner with no one, and directly used Tao Yuanming’s skills. , Instantly teleported back to the Peach Blossom Spring of the airport.
Looking at the familiar peach blossom, Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
–Defenses can not do without.
If you rush to join this challenger organization, you might get yourself in trouble.
Let’s wait until you find Mr. Shao and Ye Qi. The current time in this world is Monday, and there are still four days left before the so-called “World Weekly”. They need to investigate carefully and collect enough information before making a decision.
