At night, Xiao Lou fell asleep on his seat. In a daze, he felt his body being pushed gently, and Mr. Shao's familiar voice came to his ears: "Professor Xiao, it's three o'clock, come to change shifts.
"
Yu Hanjiang was already sitting in the driver's seat. Xiao Lou rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, walked to sit next to Team Yu, and turned around and asked, "Mr. Shao, is nothing wrong?"
Shao Qingge said: "There is no abnormality at the moment, but you two will have to work hard next."
Ye Qi was so sleepy that he yawned. He handed the teleportation card from the card bag to Yu Hanjiang: "Captain Yu, this is for you, maybe you can use it."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, you guys go to sleep quickly."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi went to sleep in the back row. Xiao Lou took two pieces of wood and threw them into the stove and sat in the front row to warm himself up. Yu Hanjiang whispered in his ear: "The skill of Qin Guan's card
Have you refreshed it? Change the binding object and make it consistent with my binding."
In order to facilitate the exchange of messages on the cruise ship, Xiao Lou connected two Qin Guan cards to Liu Qiao, and Mr. Shao bound Lao Mo. All card skills were refreshed at zero points, Liu Qiao had already fallen asleep, and Xiao Lou took back the Qin Guan cards.
Bind him to Yu Hanjiang again. In this way, the two of them don't need to speak to communicate, and they don't have to worry about the sound of talking affecting their sleeping teammates.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and Yu Hanjiang's voice quickly sounded in Xiao Lou's mind: "Old Mo said that most teams in the card world are stuck at the eighth level. I don't think it's right. Are the elite teams of the major guilds?
Can’t you get past the 8 of Hearts?”
Xiao Loudao: "Lao Mo's previous team did not dare to go to the 8 of Hearts, and we don't know what is going on with the 8 of Hearts. After returning to the main city and passing through the B-level secret room, we can try to find some information from the Intelligence Bureau.
"Speaking of the Intelligence Bureau, Xiao Lou was very interested in the boss named Tang. He couldn't help but joke: "By the way, the boss of the Intelligence Bureau is so mysterious, can we just spend money to investigate their boss?"
Yu Hanjiang replied seriously: "I'm afraid not. An organization like the Intelligence Bureau must have regulations to protect its internal members. Otherwise, their members would know so much and it would be too dangerous."
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "Why is Captain Yu so serious? I was just joking."
Yu Hanjiang looked back at him and met Xiao Lou's eyes.
Under the illumination of the night pearl, there was a slight smile in those clear eyes, as bright as stars... no, better than stars. Yu Hanjiang felt that these were the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen since he was a child, especially the smile.
When you wake up, your heart will melt.
Xiao Lou's face felt slightly hot - because he noticed the thoughts in Yu Hanjiang's mind.
Captain Yu was praising his beautiful eyes in his mind...
Xiao Lou hurriedly looked away, his heart beating a little faster.
Yu Hanjiang also realized it - you can't think wildly, this is connected with your heart.
He quickly changed the subject and said: "It's past three o'clock. Those who want to take action should also take action, right?"
Xiao Lou controlled his heartbeat and said calmly: "It's very quiet around here, but most of the escape boats have people keeping watch. Those people may still be waiting for the right opportunity."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "We remain vigilant."
The sea was calm, and the two of them chatted in the spiritual world. An hour passed, and nothing happened around them. Xiao Lou was a little confused. Could it be that the challengers who were matched with Zhou Chang this time were all relatively naive.
Those who win points won't use extreme means to snatch cards from other challengers? It would be great if that were the case, at least there would be no need for intrigue.
At this moment, a gust of breeze blew by, and many escape boats were swaying around them, and the illuminated night pearls also swayed from side to side.
Xiao Lou didn't mind, thinking it was the wind. But the next moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly pressed his shoulders, pursed his lips to the right, and said in his mind: "There is movement over there."
Xiao Lou followed Captain Yu's gaze and looked at an escape boat in the southeast, with a luminous pearl shining on it. The moment Xiao Lou turned his head to look, the luminous pearl shook violently for a few times and then disappeared.
If one is not observant enough, the sudden disappearance of dozens of luminous pearls will not attract anyone’s attention at all.
Xiao Lou immediately tensed his back and said in his mind: "Did something happen to that escape boat?"
"It's dark and I can't see clearly, but the night pearl was shaking so hard just now. It doesn't seem to be the reason for the wind..." Yu Hanjiang frowned, "I didn't hear any sound of heavy objects falling into the sea, and there was no sound of struggle or resistance. If
Something happened, there wasn't even a sound, right?"
"There was no sound of fighting. Maybe we are overthinking it?" Xiao Lou also found it unbelievable. If something really happened to the entire ship, how could there be no sound at all?
Yu Hanjiang raised his ears alertly and stared intently in the southeast direction.
Nothing happened next, and both of them thought they were being careless. But after more than ten minutes, an escape boat in the southeast direction, the Night Pearl shook violently twice again, and then went out quietly, as if there were a pair of
It was like an invisible hand suddenly took it away.
It's a dark, windy night, a good time to kill.
"No!" Yu Hanjiang said vigilantly, "Those two ships are probably in trouble!"
"..." But Xiao Lou didn't hear any sound. He clenched his fists nervously, glanced at his sleeping teammates behind him and said, "Do you want to wake them up?"
"No need for the moment." Yu Hanjiang stared into the distance intently - the dark night seemed to have opened a huge mouth, trying to swallow everyone together.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said decisively: "Professor Xiao, you still remember the second skill of the compass, right? The 10-meter diameter range is invincible. You draw a circular boundary to protect our escape boat. I will put on the invisibility cloak and go over.
have a look."
"Is it okay for you to go alone?" Xiao Lou looked at him worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm invisible and they can't see me. Besides, we can communicate at any time with the teleportation channel. I used Ye Qi's teleportation card to fly over the sea to see who was causing trouble." Yu Hanjiang said calmly.
"Okay, I'll stay here." Xiao Lou quickly took out a compass and drew a circle. The metal ring instantly enlarged into an invisible circle with a diameter of 10 meters, surrounding the escape boat in the circle. The upgraded compass 2
The skill is equivalent to a "safety circle", which can prevent the circular area from being affected by any attacks or control cards.
Yu Hanjiang put on his invisibility cloak, used Ye Qi's teleport card to teleport 50 meters horizontally, and arrived at the incident area in the blink of an eye.
He found the direction where the night pearl disappeared according to his memory.
Sure enough, something happened to the first escape boat.
Everyone on the escape boat was dead - all their throats were cut off!
Yu Hanjiang's pupils shrank and he immediately teleported to another escape boat.
The challengers on this ship were also wiped out. The man sitting in the driver's seat opened his eyes in disbelief, as if he had seen some terrible monster. Yu Hanjiang thought of "monster", and Xiao Lou immediately received his mental signal.
Question: "Captain Yu, was it a sea monster attack?"
Yu Hanjiang replied: "It's not a sea monster, it's man-made - everyone's throats were cut, and the attack was quick and easy. Two ships of challengers have been killed, and they are still continuing to act. Professor Xiao, be careful...
"
As soon as I said this, I heard Xiao Lou's voice in my mind: "I feel someone is under the water."
Yu Hanjiang did not hesitate, teleported back, and returned to Xiao Lou in less than 3 seconds - he saw abnormal fluctuations under the sea, and these challengers actually set their sights on their escape boat!
At that time, Lao Mo deliberately parked the escape boat outside in order to avoid risks.
Unexpectedly, these people specifically chose the outer ships to attack - because there are too many ships in the inner circle, it is easy for other challengers to notice something is wrong. The outer circle is far away and there are few people, which makes it convenient for them to commit crimes. Even if one or two escape boats disappear, others
It's also hard to notice in the dark.
If Xiao Lou hadn't used a compass to draw a protective circle in advance, their ship might have also been hit.
Xiao Lou unexpectedly found that he couldn't hear any sound at this moment. He immediately called Yu Hanjiang: "Captain Yu, there is suddenly no sound around. I can't even hear my own breathing. It's so quiet and weird. You can hear it."
Do I speak?"
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "I understand, it should be a range of sound shielding cards, which affects the environmental sound effects. We are in spiritual communication and do not make any sound, so I can hear you." He comforted in a low voice: "
Don't worry, I'm near you."
Hearing his words, Xiao Lou felt much more relaxed: "No wonder, the challengers on the two ships were killed without making any sound. It seems that they have cards that can eliminate sound within a range, so the assassination was like this.
Quietly."
A neat assassination.
Two ships and 16 people died silently at sea in the middle of the night.
There were countless challengers keeping vigil around, but no one noticed.
If Yu Hanjiang hadn't had sharp eyes and noticed that the night pearl was shaking abnormally, maybe he and Xiao Lou would have ignored the two escape boats in the distance. In the dark night, blood stains had already dyed the sea surface red, but because it was dark, they couldn't tell the difference at all.
The color of clear sea water.
Yu Hanjiang's expression was extremely serious. This should be a very professional assassination team.
--
He took a deep breath and said in his mind: "Wake up Lao Mo!"
Xiao Lou nodded and immediately shook Lao Mo awake.
At this time, the surrounding sound of the ship they were on was completely blocked. Lao Mo opened his mouth to speak, but found that his mouth was moving but there was no sound. He stared at Xiao Lou in shock and pointed at his
Mouth, I thought I had become mute.
Xiao Lou quickly wrote in the palm of his hand: "Environmental sound effect shielding, there is an assassination team underwater."
Lao Mo was suddenly startled, and then wrote in Xiao Lou's hand: "Hunter?"
When Xiao Lou saw these three words, he quickly sent a message to Yu Hanjiang through the telepathic channel.
Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully and said with certainty: "They should be hunters. The people on the two ships have died. If they are ordinary challengers who want to kill people and grab cards, there is no need to kill indiscriminately without any purpose. The people on the two ships are already dead."
The cards you take may not be useful."
Xiao Lou agreed: "When grabbing cards, you must make sure that the other party's cards are good enough before you grab them. Otherwise, you will kill a bunch of people and get bad cards, which will easily cause trouble... If you are a hunter, that's great.
I explained that they don’t need to pick a target to kill, and each person has a million-dollar bounty.”
Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "They also have cards in their hands. It seems that they are getting smarter as they learn. They know where the 'outsider' spell comes from. I think this 'ambient sound effect shielding' card is also theirs."
I guess I picked it up by killing the challenger before."
Xiao Lou still couldn't hear the sound. He started counting silently from the moment the sound disappeared. It has been 10 seconds now - it has affected the environment for such a long time. This should be a very powerful S-level special effects card.
Since "Ambient Sound Cancellation" is a change in the ambient volume, it is not considered an attack method, nor is it a skill to control people such as drowsiness or dizziness. Therefore, Xiao Lou's "Safety Circle" cannot resist the effect of this environmental change.
In an extremely quiet world, no sound could be heard. Xiao Lou and Mo Xuemin looked at each other.
At this moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Use the Qin Guan card to bring Lao Mo in. I want to catch these hunters."
Xiao Lou immediately used another Qin Guan card to connect with Lao Mo.
He is connected to Yu Hanjiang and Lao Mo, which is equivalent to a communication transfer station.
Xiao Lou asked nervously: "Where are those people? Can Captain Yu see them?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "They originally wanted to attack our ship. Since our ship is protected by a safety circle, they found it difficult to kill, so they are changing their target - the ship on the left rear."
In the dark night, the visibility is very low, but Yu Hanjiang's eyesight is not generally good. He has caught criminals countless times in the middle of the night. People in the police force say that Captain Yu's eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and the people he targets
Don't even think about running away.
Several hunters had excellent water skills, and when they realized that Xiao Lou's boat was difficult to deal with, they immediately changed their targets.
However, as long as you swim underwater, ripples will appear on the sea surface.
Yu Hanjiang stared closely at the dark sea surface. Circles of ripples were moving rapidly towards the left rear - there was an escape boat at the rear left. There were 10 people sitting on the escape boat. Two of the men responsible for the night watch were drowsy.
sleep.
Yu Hanjiang said to Xiao Lou in his mind: "Count down for 3 seconds and let Lao Mo paint that sea area with colors."
Xiao Lou immediately sent a message to Mo Xuemin and suggested: "Use green. The human eye can distinguish green light better at night."
Lao Mo nervously pinched the [Color Element] card and immediately used the card after the 3-second countdown. He saw that the entire hull of the escape boat at the rear left, together with the surrounding sea area, and the 500-square-meter environment were all dyed.
Turned into fluorescent green!
Under the illumination of the luminous pearl, that touch of fluorescent green is so obvious!
Soon, all the challengers discovered something unusual.
The originally drowsy man discovered that his teammates had turned green, and he was immediately shocked and said: "Fuck! Brother, you're green!" The other man's face darkened: "Fuck you, can you speak? What do you mean...
...Oh, why are you also wearing green?"
When the two of them said this, they found that they suddenly became mute, and their next words had no sound.
The next moment, the overwhelming silver rings came crashing down, followed closely by a huge scale with a diameter of 5 meters, and two metal weighing pans suddenly fell into the water! The two people stared at this scene in horror with their eyes wide open, looking at this scene in disbelief.
.
Nearly 500 square meters of the surrounding sea area turned into fluorescent green!
In the distance, the challenger who was not affected by the muffler quickly woke up his teammates. A group of people turned their heads to look here, and then commented: "The sea water over there seems to have turned green..." "That ship is also green!"
"It must be the card's special effects!"
A girl noticed that the sea in the distance turned green. She immediately picked up a luminous telescope and took a closer look. Only to see the scene of the challengers in two boats being brutally murdered. The girl screamed: "Ahhh, there are dead people! There are two people over there."
The people on the ship are dead!”
This scream woke up all the challengers around, and everyone stood up nervously to see the situation.
In the distance, a piece of sea water was dyed a very dazzling fluorescent green. Three men teleported towards the escape boat as if they knew how to do Qinggong. One controlled the ring and smashed it into the sea, while the other controlled the scale and threw the scale.
Go down.
The ocean dyed fluorescent green makes it impossible for the few predators lurking in the sea to hide.
Yu Hanjiang used a scale to control them, and threw out a white silk ribbon with his right hand. The long white silk ribbon automatically tied up all the hunters as if it had spiritual power.
There was a burst of exclamation from all around: "Ah, who are these people?!" "What happened? Is anyone dead?" "I heard from the girl just now that people from two boats were killed!"
Someone said in horror: "We must be unlucky enough to encounter a hunter, right?"
There were panicked discussions all around, and everyone stuck their heads out to look at the situation in the green light area. Yu Hanjiang suddenly retracted the white silk in his hand, and he dragged the underwater hunter to the surface - all three of them.
He is a young and strong adult male.
In order to prevent these three people from committing suicide again by taking poison, Yu Hanjiang teleported over and stuffed a piece of rag into each person's mouth.
The three people who were about to bite out the poison in their teeth: "..."
At this time, all three of them were dyed green, which couldn't be more obvious.
When the time for the environmental sound shielding card came, the surrounding challengers resumed their voices: "Damn it, this must be a hunter! They specialize in lurking underwater to kill people and collect bounties!" "People from two ships were really killed.
Are you there?" "I saw, over there, two ships, all 16 people were dead!" "Oh my God, I was having a sweet dream just now, these people killed people silently... It's really scary!"
The friend who was dyed green ignored his own image and said excitedly: "Thank you, brother! It was you who saved us, right? If you three hadn't suddenly appeared, we would have almost fallen asleep just now, and we wouldn't have died.
Know……"
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "No thanks."
After he said that, he dragged the three people back to his boat.
Mr. Shao, Ye Qi and the others had long been awakened by the noise around them. When they saw Team Yu coming with three captives tied up, they were all surprised.
Xiao Lou briefly explained what happened to everyone, and Yu Hanjiang quickly searched their bodies and found three cards in their arms.
The S-level special effects card [Quiet World] can block any sound within 10 square meters, isolating the selected area from other areas and falling into complete silence. What would it be like to not even hear breathing? That kind of silence
, like being abandoned by the whole world.
The silence lasts for 5 minutes, and the cooldown time is 15 minutes.
A-level special effect card [Water Ghost], teammates within a 10 square meter area will collectively increase their underwater movement speed by 200%, and can hold their breath for 30 minutes without surfacing to breathe.
A-level special effect card [Stiff Like a Statue] will cause all targets within a designated 10 square meters to freeze and be unable to perform any operations. It lasts for 10 seconds and has a cooling time of 15 minutes.
Xiao Lou said with fear: "It seems that they have been lurking underwater with the help of [Water Ghost]. After approaching the escape boat, they first blocked the sound, then used the [Stiff Like Statue] special effect card for group control, and then cut them off with a knife.
The throat of the challenger! They can kill an entire ship of people silently without the other party being able to resist or call for help!"
I feel scared when I think about it. If I hadn't used the Compass skill to place a safety circle and blocked the control of "Stiff as a Statue", the next target of these hunters would be the escape boat where Xiao Lou and the others were. Once hit,
Shit, Xiao Lou can't call for help at all, and his sleeping teammates on the boat will be killed with a knife in their sleep!
Shao Qingge couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine: "Fortunately, you two were alert enough, otherwise, we would have died without knowing how."
Mo Xuemin's face was ugly: "What a damn unlucky person, Zhou Chang encountered a hunter twice in a row!" He took a breath with lingering fear, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said: "Last time, Zhou Chang encountered a hunter because of the hunter.
In the end, only 20 of the 100 people survived. If it weren't for you this time, it is estimated that more than 200 of the more than 400 challengers would have died quietly tonight."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the three people who were tied up.
The three people had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths and glared angrily, almost trying to eat Yu Hanjiang alive.
They followed the boss's instructions to assassinate foreigners, and they never failed. Unexpectedly, they hit the wall today!
