Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang went to bed separately at twelve o'clock in the evening. Before going to bed, Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to come over, leaned over and kissed Xiao Lou's forehead, and said softly, "Have a good rest, good night."
The simple good night kiss made Xiao Lou's heart beat faster and his cheeks became hot. He tossed and turned on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all, but he couldn't help but recall the scene of being held in Yu Hanjiang's arms and kissed just now.
Xiao Lou touched the other's lips that were still warm and closed his eyes in embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no telepathy with Lian Xin. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be if Yu Hanjiang knew that he had been thinking about the kiss just now? Lian Xin will have telepathy in the future.
Be cautious.
In fact, Yu Hanjiang didn't fall asleep either.
Brother Jiu had always disliked him for being "single based on his strength", saying that he was just a hard rock and no one would like him. But now, the hard rock has also started to understand. He has learned to care about someone, protect someone, and his heart beats because of the other person's approach.
I was overjoyed because my confession was accepted.
To him, Xiao Lou was the only warm color in the dark world, and the only weakness under his hard armor.
Xiao Lou, who was on the bed next door, was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Yu Hanjiang raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth and said in his heart Xiao Lou, if one day we can really go back, I want to take you home to meet my parents and tell them - this is the person I love most.
, I will live this life with him peacefully.
…
The next morning, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang both woke up with obvious dark circles under their eyes.
The two looked at each other and looked away sheepishly.
The dream last night was indescribable. Maybe it was because both of them were in love for the first time, and they had experienced their first kiss. After all, they were young men with strong blood, so they thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night.
After they each took a cold shower, the two of them calmed down and pretended to go to have breakfast...lunch together as if nothing had happened.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had already finished lunch in the restaurant on the 7th floor. They found Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang coming over. Shao Qingge passed by them and said with a low smile, "You two, I didn't see you at breakfast today. I went back last night."
What are you doing? Have you just woken up?"
Shao Qingge just asked casually, but the two of them felt guilty after all. Thinking of what happened last night, Xiao Lou's ears couldn't help but turn red. Yu Hanjiang pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing. We discussed the next plan."
Shao Qingge glanced at Xiao Lou's red ears with a half-smile and said, "It seems that you discussed it very late last night. Captain Yu always has a regular schedule and sleeps until twelve noon. This is the first time."
Ye Qi seriously suggested, "Don't work too hard and go to bed early in the future."
Xiao Lou "..."
In fact, they didn't sleep too late. It's just that they both had insomnia. They were embarrassed to tell the truth, so Xiao Lou casually said, "You should go back to the house after you finish eating. Xiaoye, be careful."
At this moment, Xiao Lou saw Tang Ci coming to the restaurant in a wheelchair. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi said hello and went back to the room first. Tang Ci pretended not to know Xiao Lou and the others and went to eat by himself.
A message was sent in the chat group, and Tang Ci said, "A friend from the Intelligence Bureau told me a clue. On the Challenger Forum, someone sent messages to some teams, calling everyone to gather at the Suncity Beach Bar at one o'clock in the morning tonight. I don't know what to do.
do what."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message using Tang Ci's homemade chat software: "Is it possible that the stampede accident made the challengers aware of the crisis? They want to discuss countermeasures to deal with the hunt."
Who?"
Tang Ci said, "It's possible."
In the hotel room, Lao Mo saw the message and said, "The challenger organization, except for Mr. Gui's Faraway Association, the Luo Ying Pavilion composed of girls, and the mysterious Eternal Kingdom, most of the challengers still operate as a team.
I have received many challengers when I was in Moon City before, but they were not willing to join this kind of organization."
Qu Wanyue said, "If it were me, I wouldn't want to join. Although the organization can serve as a backer, there are still many rules to abide by, and we are not familiar with other people in the organization. The most freedom is to work in a small group like ours."
of."
Tang Ci said, "According to statistics from the Intelligence Bureau, challengers who have not joined large organizations and only work as a team account for nearly half of the total number. This number is quite large. If these scattered teams unite to deal with the hunters,
, we can’t predict what consequences it will have.”
Teams like Xiao Lou and his team have always put their teammates as the first priority. In secret rooms such as Spades and Clubs, when they meet other challenger teams, they try not to meddle in their own business - they stay on their own and protect themselves and their teammates. I believe
This is also what most challengers think.
However, this stampede was so cruel that it may arouse the vigilance of a large number of challengers.
When the snow is small, everyone can "sweep the snow in front of the house", but once the snow is heavy enough to crush everyone's houses, if they don't unite, they will have to wait to be defeated one by one.
Xiao Lou was worried that "most of the cards in the main city are banned, and some are not banned. Therefore, if the challenger really openly confronts the hunter organization, the number of casualties will definitely exceed imagination."
The challengers all have cards in their hands, and there are quite a lot of them that can be used in the main city. Just like that day, Ye Qi used a piano music box to control a group of people. If other teams can survive to this day, they must also have some powerful cards in their hands.
.
The hunters blatantly bullied the challengers. More than 500 people were killed in the stampede, and more than a thousand were seriously injured. If the challengers united to massacre the indigenous people of this world out of anger, the consequences would be disastrous!
Xiao Lou remembered that during the financial crisis in Spades 3, the Spades gatekeeper had shown them some scenes——
In order to pass the level, some challengers directly released the zombie virus in the central square, infecting everyone into zombies; some people slaughtered the indigenous people wantonly, just like killing monsters in a game, and did not regard the indigenous people of this world as human beings.
look……
Among the challengers, there are also some thugs who do whatever it takes to survive.
There is now a deep hatred between the hunters and the challengers. If the two sides really openly fight each other, the innocent people will only be ordinary people who do not have cards. These people are not NPCs or a bunch of people in the game.
Data, they also have feelings and consciousness.
Xiao Lou asked in the group, "Should we go and have a look?"
Yu Hanjiang agreed, "We can put on the invisibility cloak and take a look. I don't know what they want to do in this meeting."
Ye Qi was worried and said, "It's not going to be another hunter, right? It deliberately lured the challenger team out and wanted to massacre again?"
Tang Ci said, "It shouldn't be the case this time. The Challenger Forum requires strict certification. News of the gathering is only spread within the forum. Moreover, the participants should all be challengers with good strength. Even if the hunters appear, they will be outnumbered.
Killed by the challengers."
He paused and then warned, "I am in a wheelchair and it is inconvenient for me to move. If you want to go there, I can send you the location of the bar. Although this is an internal meeting of the Challengers, you must be careful. The situation is not right."
Retreat immediately."
Yu Hanjiang said, "There are too many people and it's difficult to move. I can just go with Xiao Lou."
My teammates didn't have any objections to this either.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were well prepared, and at one o'clock in the morning that night, they arrived at the Binhai Bar on time.
This bar is very large, with two floors, and the beach is right outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Normally, many people come to the bar to listen to music, eat barbecue, and drink beer all night long. But tonight, the bar seemed unusually quiet, and a closed sign was hung on the door.
brand.
According to the Intelligence Bureau's investigation, this bar was opened by a challenger.
The door was locked, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou couldn't get in. They had to put on their invisibility cloaks, fly up to the roof, and put the bug on the roof to listen carefully to what was going on inside.
I heard a woman say excitedly, "The hunters really went too far! In this stampede, a school girl I know was trampled to death by her own people. What do they think we are?!"
A middle-aged male voice said, "I am the captain of a team. One of my teammates died at the concert, and another was seriously injured and was being treated in the hospital. I originally thought that we could live in peace with people in this world.
But they are becoming more and more ruthless, and we can no longer sit back and wait for death!"
"Yes, with so many captains gathered today, we should discuss a countermeasure!"
"I think we should kill this woman Luo Yan first! If she hadn't held a concert and deliberately released tickets at a low price, she wouldn't have attracted so many challengers who love to watch the fun and would have been trampled to death at the venue. She would definitely
They are the top brass of the Hunters!"
"Do you think Luo Yan is so easy to kill? She must have run away long ago after the accident. We can't even find her now..."
A group of people were chattering, and there was a huge commotion inside the bar.
At this moment, a low, calm voice suddenly said, "Don't get excited, everyone. I am not organizing this individual gathering to incite you to directly confront the Hunter Alliance. That will not do us any good."
"
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other. The voice seemed familiar?
The two took a closer look through the skylight on the roof——
I saw a man wearing a silver mask, sitting on the stage where the bar singer was singing. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said loudly, "In the Hunter Alliance, who are there and what their strength is? We still have no idea."
Unknowing. The most terrifying opponent is always the unknown opponent. Therefore, I do not recommend that everyone impulsively kill Luo Yan, or kill those hunter minions with totems on their bodies to vent their anger. This does not fundamentally solve the problem.
question."
His words made sense, and the people present were gradually soothed by his voice, and their emotions quickly calmed down.
A girl said, "Baihu, stop being so secretive. You chatted with us privately on the forum and asked us to gather together and have a meeting in this bar. What do you want to say?"
The man's gaze swept across the audience, and a smile appeared in his narrow eyes behind the mask. "Don't worry, I was about to say. There is only one way to solve the problem - leave this world."
There was a neat sound of gasping in the bar.
Some people couldn't help but complain, "Isn't this nonsense? Who the hell wants to stay here if they can leave this world!"
The masked man said calmly, "The hunters have extremely strong hostility towards us 'outsiders'. I don't know the reason for this hostility. However, if we change our stance, when our homeland is invaded by some strange
People with special powers invade. These people can casually replace our relatives and friends around us, and kill them. If it were you, would you be afraid?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
The man turned around and sat on the sofa and said, "If one day, you suddenly wake up and find that your city is in a financial crisis for no reason; or if one day you go to the hospital to see a doctor, and a parasitic infection suddenly breaks out... all of this is
Do you hate foreigners because of them?"
Everyone "......"
The man slowly said, "Since we are 'foreigners', we do not belong to this world. Therefore, the fundamental solution to the problem is that we return to the original world and the two worlds operate independently without interfering with each other."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were greatly shocked when they heard his theory.
This man's opinion is indeed a way of thinking. If according to his speculation, all accidents in this card world are due to the arrival of challengers, then, for people in this world-killing challengers is
It's like driving away intruders.
They are just protecting their homeland.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Hanjiang, do you still remember this person?"
Finally no longer called "Team Yu"...
Yu Hanjiang was very pleased, nodded and said, "Remember, the masked man I met in Liuxi Village had a card in his hand that could retrieve objects from across the air, and also took away our gems. At that time, when we left Spades 4,
When choosing the main city, we chose the City of the Moon, but he insisted on choosing the City of the Sun. I didn’t expect to meet him here again.”
Xiao Lou admired Yu Hanjiang's memory. Maybe Yu Hanjiang remembered everyone he met along the way as "criminal suspects"? He said softly, "This man's ideas are quite interesting. Do you want to talk to him?"
chat?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Okay, wait until they finish the meeting."
All the captains of the Free Challenger team gathered in the bar. After the man finished explaining his theory, he told everyone a way, "Everyone try to clear the SS-level secret room and return to the real world, so you don't have to face the hunters anymore."
"It's not feasible to stay here and live here. After all, we don't belong to this world."
Many captains thought that what he said for a long time was all nonsense.
At 2:30 in the morning, the challengers from all walks of life dispersed spontaneously. Many of them had Qinggong cards and disappeared without attracting the attention of some aborigines who were having a barbecue on the beach.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, fell lightly from the roof, and entered the bar side by side.
The bar was very warmly decorated, with green plants hanging on the walls and roof. A man in a mask was sitting leisurely beside him, slowly sipping a cocktail. Yu Hanjiang walked up behind him and whispered, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
.”
The man turned back and looked at the two of them, "Who are you two?"
Xiao Lou reminded, “We have worked together in Liuxi Village before.”
The man was startled, his eyes full of doubts, "Really? I have no impression of you two."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Do you have a card in your hand that can retrieve objects from afar?"
The man smiled and shook his head, "No, you two may have recognized the wrong person. Do you want to sit down and have a drink?"
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou found it a little strange. With their ability to recognize people, they should not be mistaken. Although the man in Liuxi Village also wore a mask, his height, body shape, and pattern on the mask were all the same... The most important thing is,
The voice is also the same as that person's.
Is he deliberately pretending not to know him, or has he lost his memory?
The two of them sat down and chatted with him casually for a few words. They found that this person did not look like an actor, so Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the hotel with doubts.
Chapter 370, White Fox
Tang Ci's intelligence bureau collected a lot of information about the challenger, and the two decided to ask Mr. Tang.
They just heard a key name "White Fox" on the roof, which should be just a code name.
Tang Ci hasn't slept yet, waiting for them to come back.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang knocked on Tang Ci's door, and Yu Hanjiang asked bluntly, "Mr. Tang, have you heard of the white fox?"
Tang Ci frowned slightly, opened his laptop, and said, "I know this person. He is a very famous master in the Challenger Forum. The ID he uses in the forum is Bai Hu. He has posted many strategies for clearing various low-level secret rooms.
Therefore, he has a certain prestige among novices. In addition, he bought a bar on the seaside of Suncity to do business in this world."
Xiao Lou said, "This challenger gathering was called by him. He should have privately messaged some captains of the challenger team who often hang out in the forum. Because we don't go to the forum, we didn't receive the private message."
"I didn't receive the private message either. Someone from the Intelligence Bureau received it and reported it to me." Tang Ci paused and asked doubtfully, "Why, is there something wrong with this person? He organized this gathering to call on challengers and
Hunter-killer showdown, or do you have other plans?"
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "He asked the challengers to try their best to clear the secret room and leave this world. His theory is quite interesting. He believes that we 'foreigners' are equivalent to invaders. In fact, our existence disturbs the peace of the indigenous people."
Our lives have even brought them various disasters. Only when we leave will the two worlds return to peace."
Xiao Loudao: "I think his statement is also true in theory. If you think about it carefully, there will be trouble wherever we go, homicides, disasters, financial crises, biochemical apocalypses. The gatekeepers on the surface let us
We go to the secret room to solve problems, but think about it on the other hand, is it because we have to clear the secret room that the gatekeepers have to create these problems and let us solve them?"
If there is trouble first, let them help solve it...
Or are you deliberately creating trouble just to let them pass the level?
If it is the latter, then they have indeed brought disaster to the indigenous people.
Whether it’s a financial crisis or a Zerg invasion, the number of dead and injured natives is simply incalculable!
Yu Hanjiang continued, "The strange thing is that we have seen him in the 4 of Spades secret room in Liuxi Village, but he seems to have no impression of us. I don't think he is pretending. I shouldn't recognize the wrong person. Could it be
Has he lost his memory?"
Tang Ci listened to the two people's words and opened an email thoughtfully - it contained an investigation report on the white fox.
He had noticed this person named Bai Hu for a long time. After all, this person was very active in the forum and tried his best to write so many clearance strategies for the challengers. Some strategies were even more detailed than the Intelligence Bureau version. Follow his instructions.
Strategy: Passing all B-level secret rooms is not a problem. As long as all B-level secret rooms are cleared, at least you can get a lot of good cards, and you have a greater chance of passing the weekly routine.
Now he has convened a large gathering of challenger captains to persuade them to continue passing the level and leave this world...
It feels like this person can't wait to persuade the challengers to leave.
The investigation report shows that Bai Hu, whose real name is "Bai Jinyu", is 30 years old and is actually a teacher in the Chinese Department of the university; strangely, no information can be found about his teammates.
Tang Ci was able to invade the ID card management system of the card world, find out the ID numbers of all the challengers, and follow the clues to find out the teammates who were with them. This was how the Intelligence Bureau was able to immediately target Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.
reason.
But Bai Hu... seems to have opened a bar in Sun City alone and lived a leisurely life.
No one has close contact with him.
No matter how secretive it is, the Intelligence Bureau has informants all over the world, and it is impossible to find any clues.
Tang Ci closed the information interface and said; "This person is very strange. Either he is not a challenger at all, or... all his teammates have sacrificed, and he is the only one left. If so, the weekly tasks,
He’s going to have a hard time getting through.”
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and looked at each other.
Xiao Lou was very confused; "But how should we explain the fact that we saw him in Liuxi Village?"
Tang Ci said, "Judging from the time you met him, it should have been more than a month ago, right?"
The time flow rate in different secret rooms often changes, but the main city remains unchanged. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to Moon City and were discovered by the intelligence bureau. It was a month ago when they had just completed the dungeon of Spade 4 Liuxi Village.
So, it should have been more than a month ago when they met the masked man in Liuxi Village.
Xiao Lou nodded, "Yes."
Tang Cidao said, "According to the investigation data, this Bai Jinyu has been opening a bar in Rizhi City for half a year."
Xiao Lou “…………”
how so?
The prerequisite for entering the main city is to pass the fourth level. The masked man they met in the fourth level should be a novice who has never been to the main city. But Bai Jinyu has been in the main city for half a year, and he obviously passed the third level half a year ago.
Four passes.
However, their voices, eyes, and masks are all so similar. Is there such a coincidence?
Xiao Lou suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that he has a twin brother or older brother?"
When Yu Hanjiang heard these words, he suddenly remembered something: "I remember that in the secret room of Diamond 4 to balance the world, there is a mechanism called a scale. The two scales must have the same weight to open the door. The solution to the mechanism is that two people lie down sideways together, with the center of gravity on
In the middle, this can ensure that the weights of the two scales are equal. Xiao Lou's response was fast enough, but at that level, we did not set a new record."
Xiao Lou also remembered this incident and said, "We asked the Diamond Gatekeeper at that time, and she said that the best result in the Diamond 4 Balance World was 5 minutes faster than ours, because the two challengers were twins.
They look exactly the same and weigh exactly 62 kilograms. They only need to stand directly on the scale to pass the level."
Thinking back to the masked man just now, he is about 1.75 meters tall, with a slim build, and his weight is estimated to be about 60 kilograms.
Could it be that it was the twins who broke the world record for the balance of diamonds 4? And the person they met in Liuxi Village was another of the twins, so they recognized each other, but Bai Jinyu did not recognize them.
But why did the twins separate?
There seem to be many secrets hidden in this person.
Tang Ci thought for a while and said, "I will let the people from the Intelligence Bureau continue to pay attention to this white fox. If he really has a twin, and the two brothers often exchange identities, they may be missed by our intelligence network and regarded as the same person."
.”
Xiao Lou couldn't figure out the reason for this yet.
I attended this early morning rally and it is already Thursday.
At 0 o'clock on Saturday, the weekly secret room will be opened, and they have no time to pay attention to other things.
Tang Ci looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go back and rest first. Gui Lao and Hua Ying are almost ready. Brother Ninth has been working undercover in the Hunter Alliance. I'm worried that he will be in danger. He must be allowed to return to the team as soon as possible."
Yu Hanjiang also agreed with this; "Okay, he asked me not to contact him for the time being, and I don't dare to open the Absolute Realm to find him casually. I can only wait until midnight on Saturday and directly use the contract to drag him into Zhou Chang."
Xiao Lou thought to himself, hoping that this time Zhou Chang could randomly get spades or clubs.
Only spades and clubs can use the Insect King Card to cure Tang Ci's leg injury and restore Tang Ci to his strongest combat power as soon as possible. But if they are unlucky and randomly get hearts or diamonds, they can only grit their teeth together.
