After Tang Ci returned to the hotel, he immediately retrieved the information from his laptop, investigated Luo Yan's background in detail, and sent the compiled information to Lu Jiuchuan.
Lu Jiuchuan replied, "Luo Yan is just a senior member of the Hunter Alliance, not even the core. I can't find out who the real boss is at the moment. This person is hidden very deep. Not only does he know the challenger very well,
, he also has a lot of power in the card world, and he also has a lot of money, so it is really difficult to deal with him."
Tang Ci said, "We met ten times as many hunters in Plum Blossom J. This time, you signed Xiao Lou's contract. Are you worried that if you continue to sign this book, Plum Blossom J will turn into a hunting game again?"
?”
Lu Jiuchuan does have this consideration in mind.
Advanced secret rooms are individually customized according to the team's situation and will not appear repeatedly. Therefore, previous strategies and experiences are useless. The subsequent S-level secret rooms will definitely have a completely new background and setting. In his contract, there were heavy casualties.
It feels like it is haunted by bad luck. If I switch to Xiao Lou's book, maybe the setting of the secret room in the later period will change depending on the owner of the contract.
Of course, all this is still unknown before entering the S-class secret room.
If they encounter ten times as many predators as last time, they will have no choice but to fight head-on.
Lu Jiuchuan warned, "You have worked hard these days to sort out the cards of everyone in the team and prepare some supplies. In the next two days, it is temporarily inconvenient for me to contact you. The people I want to contact are likely to be from the Hunter Alliance."
Senior management, contacting you rashly will expose you. In addition, Ye Qi must be protected. He has shown his face today, and someone might come to assassinate him."
Tang Ci replied, "Understood, I have invaded the surveillance system of this hotel. Once a suspicious person appears, I will notify Ye Qi and them as soon as possible to prepare a response. Don't worry."
After ending the conversation, Tang Ci pulled everyone into a group.
As a top hacker, he is naturally fully prepared for counter-reconnaissance. This chat group uses a small software developed by himself, so there is no need to worry about being monitored.
Tang Ci typed and warned, "This hotel is temporarily safe. Please try not to go out before Saturday. Eat in the hotel restaurant. Mr. Gui and Huaying still have some things to deal with. At 0 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, we will be forcibly teleported."
Go to Zhou Chang's secret room. In the past few days, everyone must recharge their batteries and prepare for a tough battle."
Lao Mo sent a message: "Zhou Chang is not sure what type it is. If it is spades or clubs, it will be another fierce battle."
I still remember the time when Spades Zhou Chang was in the endless sea. They were thrown on a boat and encountered shipwrecks, capsizing, hunger, exposure, sharks and predators. They almost lost a layer of skin in a few days.
Although the mortality rate of Zhou Chang's secret room is controlled at around 20, and with the strength of their team, they should not be eliminated, they cannot take it lightly. After seeing this, Xiao Lou said, "Everyone, report all the cards in your hands."
, doing statistics for Mr. Tang."
Tang Ci also had this intention, saying, "Statistics cards are also convenient for arranging tactics in emergencies."
Most of the B-cards and C-cards that I got early on have been invalidated. For example, cards such as Master Key Nine Palaces have a limit on the number of times they can be used, and they will be automatically shattered after use.
A cards and S cards have relatively few restrictions. Everyone has a few cards in their hands. Everyone will send screenshots of the cards to the group for Tang Bureau to make statistics.
Ye Qi's cards are mainly musical instruments, including flute, erhu, guzheng, piano and suona. Most of them have control, single control and group control. He also has a copy of the Insect King copied by Shao Qingge, as well as displacement.
A very good teleportation card.
Liu Qiao has the Qinggong card, which is as light as a swallow. The twins can disguise themselves as any person or animal. The other cards are fairy tale cards such as Little Red Riding Hood, Poison Queen, Thumbelina, Mermaid Princess, and Ugly Duckling.
Lao Mo has cards related to decoration and furniture; Mr. and Mrs. Long Qu’s Chameleon is a very strong detection card, and there are some sports and dance-related cards that can be used to attack, defend or escape. Mr. Shao’s cards are very expensive to use, but
The setting that you can copy cards as you please if you have money is still the strongest among the S cards, with unlimited possibilities.
Yu Hanjiang has a handgun and a saber weapon card. Xiao Lou’s painting style is the strangest, with a lot of ancient character cards...
Everyone probably knew the cards of their teammates, but they were very curious about the cards of Tang Ci and others.
Amid everyone's expectations, Tang Ci also showed everyone screenshots of his cards.
Looking at a large number of intelligent machines, Ye Qi was stunned, "So many machines?"
Tang Ci said, "Some of them are cards that I researched myself."
Xiao Lou has long known that Tang Bureau is a research madman and has become a top hacker in this world, but seeing so many of his intelligent mechanical cards with his own eyes, he still can't help but admire him.
Mr. Gui's cards are related to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Everyone has seen his pen that can make things float in the air before.
Chu Huaying has a close-up weapon, the Blood Spider, which is why she is called the Spider Queen. It is said that her dagger cuts iron like clay, and every time she kills a person, a red line will appear on the weapon. Now,
The bloody lines on her dagger have turned into dense spider webs, making her teammates frightened.
Chu Huaying said, "You don't have to be afraid. All I killed were hunters. No one was innocent."
Mr. Gui joked, "Huaying is the number one person on the Hunter Alliance bounty list because she has killed too many hunters. If you kill her, you can get a high bounty."
Chu Huaying often acted with Lu Jiuchuan in Zhou Chang's secret room. Lu Jiuchuan pretended that he couldn't beat her and was stabbed by her, leaving a spider mark. It would be easier to explain if he failed the mission and went back. But he could get away with it once or twice. If there were too many, it would definitely cause trouble.
Organizational suspicion.
This is also the reason why Chu Huaying cannot appear in public. She is the number one person on the hunter bounty list. Once she appears, she will definitely be hunted down, so she disappeared immediately after signing the contract with Xiao Lou.
As for Brother Ninth’s cards, Tang Ci said, “Brother Ninth went to perform a special mission and changed his appearance to hide his identity. In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Hunter organization, his cards were temporarily sealed in the underground factory by me. Before Zhou Chang’s secret room started,
I will find his card package."
Currently, only Lu Jiuchuan is not in the group, and everyone hopes he can come back safely.
There are still three days left before the weekly meeting. Xiao Lou said, "Everyone, please have a good rest. Try to avoid seeing each other these days. Take care of yourself and call us if you have any questions."
Seeing that the time was approaching eleven o'clock, everyone took a shower and went to bed.
Seeing that Xiao Lou's face was a little pale, Yu Hanjiang patted his shoulder gently and whispered, "You are tired too. Go take a shower and rest early."
Xiao Lou nodded, turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When I calm down, I can't help but think about what happened in the gym today.
He and Yu Hanjiang were in Area A just now, and the situation was not serious. The two of them were not pushed into the crowded aisle by the crowd. In addition, Yu Hanjiang protected him in his arms, and Xiao Lou was not injured.
However, what he saw in his eyes and heard in his ears, the tragic scene still lingered in his mind.
My nose seems to be able to smell the strong smell of blood.
Xiao Lou could not imagine the pain endured by those lying on the ground and being trampled to death.
He frowned and let the cold water in the shower wash over his body. After taking a cold shower, his mind gradually returned to calmness.
His power is very limited and he cannot save many people. Now he just wants to leave this crazy world urgently.
Although there are some criminals in the human world where he lives, most people will abide by social rules and do not need to worry about survival issues every day, let alone participate in the so-called "weekly tasks" where life or death is uncertain every weekend. Weekends in that world
, young people usually gather for dinner, watch movies, and go on dates... Now that I think about it, such weekends have actually become a luxury.
Xiao Lou wiped off the water on his body, changed into a set of pajamas and returned to the room.
Yu Hanjiang also turned around to take a shower. Xiao Lou sat at his desk and opened his laptop to surf the Internet to see if there were any news reports on today's events.
Soon, he made the headlines, which read in bright red letters, "Thousands of people were injured in stampede at Luo Yan's concert!"
When Yu Hanjiang came out of the shower, he found Xiao Lou staring at the computer screen with a pale face. He walked to Xiao Lou and looked at the screen - it was the news website that Xiao Lou opened, which reported in detail the concert.
stampede accident.
Yu Hanjiang's voice was low: "It seems that the official statistical results have come out."
Xiao Lou nodded and said softly, "At tonight's concert, 578 people died, 1,086 were seriously injured, and there were many minor injuries. Currently, the bodies of the dead are being taken away for cremation, and the seriously injured are being treated in the hospital.
"
578, this is not a simple number, but a full five hundred and seventy-eight lives.
Most of the 1,086 seriously injured people are challengers. If they cannot be cured before Saturday, they are also likely to be eliminated from the weekly tasks this Saturday. At this time, they
, what is it like to stay in the hospital?
Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and asked, "Where is Luo Yan? Have you apologized for this incident?"
Xiao Lou gently tightened his mouse and opened Luo Yan's homepage, saying, "Her public relations team responded quickly. As soon as the official news came out, they immediately posted an apology letter, which was obviously written in advance. Luo Yan is still on her personal Weibo
She publicly apologized and announced that she would retire from the entertainment industry and would no longer sing. But what can all this change? The dead will not come back to life because she apologized, she was just pretending."
Luo Yan's personal homepage has exceeded 500,000 messages. Except for some idiot fans who are still defending the goddess, most of them are passers-by who come to condemn and abuse...but none of this is important anymore.
She completed her mission as a hunter, killing more than 500 people at once and seriously injuring more than 1,000 people.
She will definitely get awards from the organization.
Seeing Xiao Lou's pale face, Yu Hanjiang sighed softly and said in a low voice: "If... I mean if, our team cannot clear the S-level secret room at the back, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Why don't you say it now?
, don’t leave any regrets to yourself.”
Xiao Lou raised his head and met the man's deep and gentle eyes.
Unfulfilled wish?
The scene when he met Yu Hanjiang for the first time in real life suddenly flashed through his mind. On that rainy day, he accepted the summons from the police and went to the city bureau to take notes. Yu Hanjiang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a police uniform, with a figure as tall as a pine tree and a handsome profile.
It's like a statue.
His first impression of Yu Hanjiang was that the man was very handsome, but too serious and indifferent, making him difficult to mess with at first glance. The man's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce the heart. Facing this detective
Captain, Xiao Lou broke out in a cold sweat when he was being questioned. He was afraid that he would say something wrong and affect the police's detection of the case.
That was the first time they met.
He never imagined that he and Yu Hanjiang would have so many interactions in the future.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Xiao Lou's impression of Yu Hanjiang has changed a lot - this man is very principled and decisive in dealing with things. In fact, his personality is not as cold as he thought.
Especially for him, Yu Hanjiang has always taken good care of him. In the war-torn secret room, the two of them had been husband and wife for a lifetime, sharing the same bed for so many years. Xiao Lou didn't know if he had fallen in love with Yu Hanjiang at that time.
.
Every time Yu Hanjiang accidentally held his hand, his heart beat like a drum.
As long as Yu Hanjiang was around, he felt inexplicably at ease.
But he didn't dare to say it.
The cruelty and cold-bloodedness of hunters exceeded his imagination. There may be many more hunters like Luo Yan. It is still unknown whether they can survive the upcoming difficulties. Ninth Brother's team that was so strong back then was all in the Meihua J almost group
Destroyed. How far can their current team reach? If they are eliminated, will their souls completely die?
In a harsh living environment, how could he have the leisure to deal with emotional problems?
His life may not be saved. If he confesses his love now, if Yu Hanjiang doesn't like him, it might actually cause trouble?
There was a trace of struggle in Xiao Lou's eyes.
This was the first time he seriously liked someone. If he were in a stable and peaceful real world, he might have the courage to pursue Yu Hanjiang. But now, even the word "like" has become extremely heavy, and he doesn't want to
Dare to mention it. If the relationship with Yu Hanjiang breaks down due to this, it will definitely have a negative impact on the subsequent secret room.
Xiao Lou's mood was particularly contradictory. Under Yu Hanjiang's gaze, he calmly looked away and said softly, "Of course there are many unfulfilled wishes. As a son of a human being, I cannot fulfill my filial piety and support my parents; as a teacher, I
The two students we accepted also failed to graduate..."
Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Is there any more?"
Xiao Lou fell silent.
He really wanted to say...and you, I haven't had time to tell you how much I like you.
His eyes were slightly hot, but he could not say these words.
The next moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly gently held Xiao Lou's hand. Xiao Lou's fingertips trembled suddenly and he wanted to pull his hand back, but Yu Hanjiang held his fingers tighter.
Just now, in order to see the computer screen clearly, Yu Hanjiang moved the stool next to Xiao Lou. The two seats were very close to each other. Yu Hanjiang pulled hard, and Xiao Lou leaned forward unprepared and was pulled tightly in by the man.
In arms.
Xiao Lou "????"
Chapter 368, Confession
Pressing his cheek tightly against the man's strong chest, Xiao Lou heard the sound of his heart beating fiercely. At that moment, he even forgot to breathe, his whole body stiffened, and his voice trembled slightly due to nervousness, "You...you are...
?”
Yu Hanjiang hugged the person in his arms tightly, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice, "I was really afraid that something would happen to you in the gym just now."
The moment the crowd behind him suddenly surged up, Yu Hanjiang almost reflexively held Xiao Lou in his arms.
There was a tragic scream in his ears, and the whole scene was in chaos. At that time, there was only one thought left in Yu Hanjiang's mind - he could not let Xiao Lou get hurt.
If Xiao Lou is knocked down and trampled by the crowd, he will definitely go crazy.
Fortunately, both of them are fine.
The rest of his life made Yu Hanjiang more clearly aware of how important Xiao Lou was to him.
In fact, as early as when 8 of Hearts and Xiao Lou were married, he understood his feelings, and even asked Brother Jiu when he was confused. During this period, one secret room after another made him unable to find it.
It was the right opportunity to speak clearly to Xiao Lou. Besides, he was not sure how Xiao Lou felt about him before.
Until the last secret room, he was shot in the abdomen. In order to save him, Xiao Lou performed artificial respiration on him.
Originally, it was normal for a doctor to provide artificial respiration to patients. However, Yu Hanjiang found that when he mentioned this matter, Xiao Lou would become nervous and blush, and he would also explain seriously, "I was anxious for the moment.
I just gave you artificial respiration according to the first aid knowledge in the textbook. I didn’t think of using an airbag at the time, would you mind?”
At that time, the two of them had a close connection.
When Xiao Lou was explaining, his expression was uneasy, his eyes kept avoiding Yu Hanjiang's, and his mind was so messed up that he didn't dare to think about anything. If he was really honest, it was just artificial respiration when a doctor was rescuing a patient.
No explanation is needed.
On the contrary, his explanation tried to hide his guilt, revealing his guilty conscience.
Yu Hanjiang wanted to tell the truth on the spot, but he had no idea about the tenth level case at that time, and he was seriously injured and lying on the hospital bed, so he had to suppress the urge to pierce the window paper first. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity, and then talk to Xiao Lou
Make it clear.
Now is the right time.
The contract has been re-signed, and the new team is about to prepare for Zhou Chang and the next difficult S-level secret room. You know, Brother Jiu's team was almost wiped out in the S-level secret room!
If he is still not sure, he might never be able to speak out after entering the S-class secret room.
Yu Hanjiang sighed softly, stretched out his hand and gently touched Xiao Lou's wet hair, and whispered: "Today's events have passed, don't think too much. However, if I don't say some words, I'm afraid I will regret it.
"
Xiao Lou was startled - Yu Hanjiang's embrace was so warm that he couldn't bear to let go.
But it seems inappropriate for two grown men to hug each other like this?
Xiao Lou's ears felt slightly hot and he stretched out his hand to push him, "Captain Yu..."
Yu Hanjiang did not let go, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "In the emergency room at Level 10, I was shot in the abdomen and fell into a coma. When you gave me artificial respiration, I was completely unconscious and have no memory of this incident.
"
Xiao Lou said awkwardly, "I've already explained that I was in a hurry and didn't use the air bag on you...don't you mind?"
Yu Hanjiang let go of Xiao Lou, looked into his eyes seriously, and said, "Of course I don't mind, but I feel a little regretful. After all, it was the first time you kissed me, but I had no impression of it. That's why I want to discuss it with you...
…Can we review it again?”
Xiao Lou's eyes widened instantly.
Revisit?
He didn't expect Yu Hanjiang to say such words at all,
Let’s review? Does this mean... you want to kiss him?
Xiao Lou's heart almost stopped and his cheeks felt like they were on fire. He quickly avoided Yu Hanjiang's gaze, but the next moment, Yu Hanjiang reached out and lifted his chin, making him look directly into his eyes.
The man's voice was extremely gentle, and he said word by word, "Xiao Lou, I like you, can't you feel it at all?"
Xiao Lou “…………”
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Yu Hanjiang simply lowered his head and kissed Xiao Lou's lips directly.
Xiao Lou was so shocked that his whole body froze into a statue.
Yu Hanjiang reached out and clasped his head, gently deepening the kiss.
The feeling of lips and teeth interlocking was countless times better than imagined. Xiao Lou's lips were very soft, like the candies he had eaten when he was a child. Compared with "artificial respiration", such a formal kiss was more lingering and unforgettable.
Yu Hanjiang's eyes gradually became profound.
His slender fingers clasped Xiao Lou's head tightly, and his other hand hugged Xiao Lou's waist, closing the distance between the two again.
Xiao Lou was held in the man's arms and kissed, and his head was already a mess.
He nervously grabbed Yu Hanjiang's shoulders to support himself. The heat on his lips made his ears feel as if they were burning. His lips were kissed firmly by Yu Hanjiang, and he could not control his lips.
sound.
"Well... um..."
Xiao Lou's brain has completely lost the ability to think.
…
I don't know how long it took before Yu Hanjiang let him go without feeling satisfied.
Xiao Lou's face turned red from being kissed, and his legs even felt a little weak——
This Yu Hanjiang is really used to playing straight. How could he kiss her directly after confessing to her? Moreover, the first kiss lasted so long, Xiao Lou was really... ashamed to say it.
After the kiss, Yu Hanjiang seemed to remember asking Xiao Lou for his opinion, and whispered, "You like me too, right?"
Xiao Lou “…………”
I’ve already kissed you, but now I’m asking, what’s your logical sequence?
Xiao Lou's face turned red. Under the deep gaze of the other party, he nodded with a blushing face.
He had to admit that he really liked Yu Hanjiang. When he was kissed just now, his heart almost jumped out of his chest - this was his first kiss, and the dreams he had when he was young were not as beautiful as today.
Yu Hanjiang chuckled and held Xiao Lou's hand, "I knew my intuition was not wrong. When I held your hand, you didn't let me go."
Xiao Lou was startled, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Yu Hanjiang looked calm, "I have never held hands with anyone else. You are the first person I want to take the initiative to approach. Well, you can say it is intentional. I just want to test whether you will hate me."
Xiao Lou "..."
It turned out that they had been carefully testing each other.
Looking back carefully, the two of them first held hands when they went to Tang Ci's underground factory. The elevator suddenly fell and Xiao Lou nervously went to find Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang immediately held his hand. At that moment, his heart beat like a drum, but Yu Hanjiang acted very
Calm down, he didn't dare to think too much.
Later, they played the role of husband and wife in the 8 Hearts secret room. Not only did the two hold hands, but they also slept together for many years. Xiao Lou thought that Yu Hanjiang was devoted to acting, but now he realized that this man was not acting, but he was real.
Entered into the drama.
The person I like has actually liked me silently for so long?
Xiao Lou suddenly felt a sweetness in his heart. He couldn't help but smile. He looked at Yu Hanjiang seriously and said word by word, "Hanjiang, you are also the first person who makes my heart beat."
First love, first kiss, all given to him.
In this crisis-ridden world, perhaps, this is the only warmth in their hearts.
When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he immediately stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Lou tightly.
Xiao Lou also hugged the other party tacitly.
He heard the man's low, gentle voice ringing in his ears: "Xiao Lou, it's great to meet you here."
Xiao Lou's eyes heated up and he said softly, "Me too. Fortunately, you are here."
Without him by my side, I really don't know how long I can hold on.
Yu Hanjiang raised the corners of his lips slightly, interlocked with Xiao Lou, and said word by word in his ear, "In the future, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. If we can survive, we will go back alive together. If not...
…I will die with you.”
Life and death depend on each other.
Such a promise is more moving than any love words.
With this man willing to live and die with him, what else does he have to fear?
