It was already three o'clock in the morning when Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the room. They went to bed to rest. The next day was Thursday, and they slept until noon again. During lunch, they met Shao Qingge, and Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes.
, jokingly said: "You two didn't get any rest last night, okay? What were you doing staying up so late?"
This time he went to the bar to investigate openly. Yu Hanjiang had nothing to feel guilty about and said straight away: "We went to the beach bar last night and didn't come back until three o'clock. We also met an acquaintance at the bar."
Everyone knew that the two went to the bar. Shao Qingge didn't expect them to return to the hotel so late. He immediately put away his smile, lowered his voice and asked: "What's going on? Who did you see?"
Xiao Loudao: "Do you still remember the masked man we met in the Four of Spades?"
At that time in Liuxi Village, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had not yet formed a team with Xiao and Yu, but they had known each other since the 3rd of spades and made an appointment to meet at the 4th of the spades, so the four of them had been acting together. Later in the mountain
I met Liu Qiao in the temple, and when I left the village, I met Long Sen, Qu Wanyue and his wife...
The masked man is not on the same team as them, he is just a temporary collaborator.
Ye Qi thought about it carefully and said: "I remember him. We had already found most of the gems at that time. He suddenly appeared and used the ability to retrieve objects from the air to take away all the gems in our hands. I thought he was here to rob us.
It’s a gem, but he said he wanted to cooperate.”
There were quite a few people who passed the Liuxi Village dungeon at the end, but everyone was deeply impressed by the man wearing the mask. After all, the other challengers showed their true colors, but he mysteriously wore a silver mask to cover his face and spoke.
Sometimes her voice is soft, not girly, and quite recognizable...
Shao Qingge said, "I remember that after he passed the fourth level, he went to Sun City?"
Xiao Lou nodded and said: "We met him at the bar last night, but he didn't know us at all. Moreover, Mr. Tang's information showed that he had opened a bar in Sun City half a year ago. It was impossible that he opened a bar a month ago.
Appeared in the 4 of Spades copy. I guess he also has a twin brother, and the one we saw should be his twin."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi looked at each other in confusion.
Ye Qi scratched his head and said, "Are you sure they are twins? What if they just wear the same mask?"
Yu Hanjiang is very confident in his ability to recognize people: "Different people don't look alike even if they wear the same mask. What's more, his mask will reveal his eyes and lips. These features are all similar to the masks we saw in Liuxi Village.
The men are exactly the same.”
When Ye Qi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "If the twins came to this world at the same time, they should have used the contract to find each other after passing through the Plum Blossom 2 secret room, and formed a team to do the task together. How come one of them came half a year ago?
The main city, another novice secret room who was in the 4 of spades a month ago...unless they didn't die at the same time?"
Yu Hanjiang said in a low voice: "We also find this matter strange, so after discussing it with Xiao Lou, I decided to tell everyone that if we meet this person in the future, everyone should be careful. It is not clear whether he is a friend or an enemy."
Ye Qi and Shao Qingge both nodded to express their understanding.
After dinner, Xiao Lou went to Lao Mo again and asked him if he had heard about the person "White Fox" and the twins. Lao Mo said: "White Fox is very famous in the Challenger Forum. I saw him posting some
Strategy post. But he himself has always been elusive. I have never seen him, and I have never heard that he has any twin brothers?"
Tang Ci's intelligence bureau and Lao Mo's personal network were unable to determine the identity of this "white fox".
Xiao Lou had no choice but to leave him alone for the time being.
There was no news from Ninth Brother, so everyone had to spend the next day in worry.
Seeing that the time has arrived on Friday night, as soon as 24:00 in the morning, challengers in the main city will be forcibly pulled into the weekly secret room.
In order to avoid Zhou Chang, they followed Brother Jiu's instructions and forcibly drew cards before 24:00 on Friday night to enter the A-level secret room. Now, all A-level secret rooms are open, and it's time for everyone to meet up. For a team of 12 people,
It was the first time for Zhou Chang, and everyone was looking forward to it but also nervous.
At 23:00 on Friday night, Xiao Lou asked in the group: "Is everyone ready?"
Tang Ci typed a line: "Ready."
Gui Yuanzhang and Chu Huaying also sent a simple line: "Okay." "Wait until twelve o'clock."
Lu Jiuchuan was not in the group, and Yu Hanjiang was a little worried: "Where is Brother Ninth?"
Tang Ci said: "He should be still at the dinner party and it is not convenient for him to contact us. Around 24 o'clock, we forcibly used the contract to lure him."
***
At this time, in the presidential suite on the top floor of Ronghua Building in Suncity.
Several people were eating fruit and playing cards, including the singing queen Luo Yan, who had just held a concert two days ago.
Different from the usual aloof goddess dress, Luo Yan today wore a fiery red low-cut suspender dress and permed her chestnut curly hair, showing off her beautiful figure. The slender suspenders exposed most of her shoulders, including her shoulders.
The black totem tattoo is also looming.
There are all hunters here, and Lu Jiuchuan has realistic tattoos on his body, so no one is shy about it.
The poker table was playing poker. Luo Yan got the full house card and won the game. She took all the chips on the table in front of her and said, "Sorry, I won again."
Lu Jiuchuan sat next to her and said with a gentlemanly smile: "Miss Luo, you are indeed very lucky today."
Luo Yan turned to look at him and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen's luck is not bad. Although he didn't win, he didn't lose much." She glanced meaningfully at the gold coins in front of Lu Jiuchuan: "It's as if he is deliberately controlling himself.
The chips are used to make yourself neither lose nor win."
Lu Jiuchuan chuckled: "Miss Luo overestimates me, how can I have such ability?"
Luo Yan still had a smile on her face, and she came over and said in Lu Jiuchuan's ear: "I remember that Mr. Chen often visited the underground banks in Moon City back then. Why is it that after not seeing each other for a while, his poker skills have become rusty?
"
Lu Jiuchuan said helplessly: "Maybe it's because my poker luck is relatively bad today."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cold feeling in his chest. Lu Jiuchuan looked down and saw that Luo Yan had taken a gun from somewhere. At this time, the black muzzle was pointed at his heart.
The smile on the woman's face became gentler: "It is rumored that challengers have many cards that can disguise their appearance, such as the S-level special effect card [Mask], which is like a transparent layer. After wearing it, you can change your appearance at will.
Have you heard of Mr. Chen?”
A sudden chill ran down Lu Jiuchuan's spine.
At this time, he was using the [Personal Mask] card to change his appearance and impersonate a senior member of the Hunter organization named Chen Wenbo.
In order to participate in this dinner, he privately investigated Chen Wenbo for a long time and found out Chen's living habits. The last Zhou Chang's secret room happened to be in the disaster-type spades world, and many hunters were dispatched. Lu Jiuchuan followed Chen Wenbo
The husband entered Zhou Chang, cooperated with Chu Huaying to kill him, then assumed his identity and returned to the Hunter organization to attend the dinner.
After dinner, he stayed and played cards with these people until now, also wanting to hear what they talked about.
Where did the trick show up, and Luo Yan actually saw it?
Lu Jiuchuan's heart was in turmoil, but he pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "I have never heard of the card Miss Luo mentioned. It's because I am ignorant."
"Never heard of it?" Luo Yan took a step back and stared coldly into Lu Jiuchuan's eyes: "Don't you always use it?"
"..."
The next second, Lu Jiuchuan simply grabbed her wrist with a grappling hand, twisted it in the opposite direction, and at the same time, he squatted down and quickly slid under the table!
Almost at the same time, Luo Yan pulled the trigger. The silenced gun made no sound. A bullet shot out of the air and embedded itself in the wall behind where Lu Jiuchuan was just now.
Lu Jiuchuan's expression suddenly changed.
Luo Yan said sternly: "Kill him!"
When several people who were still playing cards heard this, they picked up their guns at the same time, pointed at Lu Jiuchuan and shot him hard.
The densely packed bullets in the room formed a dragnet, and Lu Jiuchuan could not avoid it. While dodging, he was suddenly shot in the shoulder, and his white shirt was immediately stained red by the dazzling blood.
Lu Jiuchuan rolled on the spot and quickly hid behind the stone pillar.
He heard the footsteps of those people slowly approaching, and felt a sharp pain in his shoulders. In desperation, Lu Jiuchuan glanced at the window next to him, quickly stepped over, kicked the glass of the window to pieces, and decisively
Jump over the window——
This is the highest floor of the hotel, the 68th floor. If you fall, you will definitely be shattered!
However, as soon as Lu Jiuchuan rolled out the window, he saw a big bird whose whole body was burning with flames. It suddenly spread its wings and caught Lu Jiuchuan as if it was spiritual. Lu Jiuchuan sat on it, and the big bird was sitting on it.
There was a sharp cry in the air, and then it spread its wings and flew high, like a ball of flame sliding across the night sky, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
A man slowly walked out of the closed inner room and said coldly: "He is indeed Lu Jiuchuan, the owner of the S-class summoned beast [Suzaku]. It was he who led that group of people to kill us."
Hundreds of elites.”
Luo Yan's expression turned ugly: "Lu Jiuchuan? Wasn't he eliminated long ago?"
The man walked to the broken window and looked at the flames flashing like meteors in the distance. He picked up a shard of glass, brought it to his nose and gently smelled the smell of blood. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Lu Jiuchuan, how can you actually do this?"
Survive in the S-class nightmare chamber."
The people behind him looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
The man said: "Follow him immediately. His companions should not be dead yet - this time, no one will be left behind."
****
[Chapter 372, Zhou Chang’s Secret Room]
Friday evening at 23:55.
Tang Ci suddenly felt a strange uneasiness in his heart.
Zhou Chang is about to start. If everything goes well with Lu Jiuchuan, he should at least send him a "ready in place" message. This is what the two people agreed in advance.
But the message has not been sent yet.
Tang Ci also booked a room on the top floor for himself. From the window, he could see the Ronghua Building in the distance. If he saw it correctly, a flame suddenly burst out on the top floor of the Ronghua Building. The flame was as smooth as a shooting star.
Night sky.
——It’s Lu Jiuchuan’s summoned beast Suzaku!
In order to avoid being discovered by hunters during the undercover period, Jiu Ge's other cards were given to Tang Ci for temporary safekeeping. However, the mythical beast card will recognize its owner. Only Lu Jiuchuan can control the Suzaku card and cannot be discarded. He always carries it with him.
.As a limited card, Suzaku has only one card in the entire card world. As long as Suzaku appears, everyone will know that the person who owns this card is Lu Jiuchuan.
Unless absolutely necessary, Brother Jiu will never reveal his identity.
Thinking of this, Tang Ci's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately said in the group: "Xiao Lou, Brother Ninth is probably in trouble, you use Peach Blossom Spring to force him over!"
There are only 4 minutes left before the weekly routine.
Xiao Lou saw this news and hurriedly summoned Tao Yuanming in the room.
Open Peach Blossom Spring in 10 seconds, and teammates will be teleported——
Everyone received the transmission prompt from Peach Blossom Spring, and a moment later, twelve people gathered under the peach blossom tree.
Lu Jiuchuan's white shirt was stained red with blood. He frowned and covered his left arm hard without saying a word.
When Yu Hanjiang saw this scene, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly walked over to help Lu Jiuchuan: "Brother? What's going on!"
Lu Jiuchuan's voice was hoarse: "My identity has been discovered. I don't know where the trick was revealed. Moreover, they also knew that I used the [Fake Mask] card to put a layer of mask on my face - okay
I’m sure there must be challengers within the Hunter organization, otherwise they wouldn’t know my card so clearly.”
After he said that, he canceled the card and revealed his true appearance.
The man's facial features are extremely handsome, with a strong and sharp jaw line, and sword-shaped eyebrows that fly into his temples, exuding a sense of heroism. Unfortunately, for such a handsome face, there is an obvious 5 cm long line on the left side of his forehead.
scar.
Tang Ci lost his legs in the nightmare chamber, and Lu Jiuchuan almost lost his face in the nightmare chamber...
Yu Hanjiang didn't dare to think about what they had gone through back then. But at this moment, seeing his brother covered in blood, Yu Hanjiang felt like his heart was twisting in a knife: "Don't talk about this now, your injury is important. Mr. Tang, please give it to him."
Get some treatment..."
Tang Ci sighed softly and summoned the treatment robot.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi's Insect Ace card can only be used in spades and clubs. Liu Qiao's Witch Card antidote is used to save lives in a dying state. Their team has no other healing cards and can only rely on Tang Ci's robot.
.
Unfortunately, the robot can only treat external injuries and cannot perform surgery to remove the bullet from the arm.
Tang Ci said: "It's almost twelve o'clock. If the bullet can't be taken out, the wound will become inflamed and infected. If it's an ancient secret room, it will kill you... Why don't we just draw the card into spades?"
Or the Plum Blossom Chamber of Secrets, where you dig open the flesh and blood to take out the bullet, and then use the Bug Ace to completely heal the wound?"
Lu Jiuchuan immediately refused: "No, going to the S-level secret room now is asking for death. There are 12 of us without any cooperation, and my identity has been exposed. There may be a large number of hunters in the spades and clubs secret rooms."
Xiao Lou saw Brother Jiu frowning and enduring the pain, and he was very worried. He thought for a while and said: "Brother Jiu, although I am a forensic doctor, I can also perform simple operations. The bullet remains in the arm, so it won't happen for the time being.
It's fatal, I can help you take it out. But, there are no anesthesia, scalpel or other equipment now..."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled at Xiao Lou; "This is not difficult." He looked at Chu Huaying and said, "Huaying, let me borrow your dagger."
Chu Huaying handed him the dagger expressionlessly.
Lu Jiuchuan handed the dagger to Xiao Lou and said calmly, "Hua Ying's spider dagger can cut iron as well as mud. It can be used as a scalpel. After entering Zhou Chang's secret room, please help me first."
I took out the bullet."
Xiao Lou was stunned and said: "The cutting surface of this dagger is too wide, and it is not as thin as a scalpel. Using it to cut a wound will cause large-scale trauma and bleeding. Moreover, without anesthetic, you will faint from the pain."
…”
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Don't worry about this, the time is coming soon."
At this time, a clock appeared in the upper right corner of everyone, and the hour hand was pointing to 23:59:50 seconds on Friday night.
There are only 10 seconds left in the countdown.
Xiao Lou's fingers holding the dagger were a little stiff. He prayed silently in his heart - it would be fine if Zhou Chang had spades or clubs. He could use the Insect King card directly. Ninth Brother would not feel the pain and the wound would be healed after removing the bullet.
Healed immediately.
Unfortunately, the gatekeeper didn't seem to hear Xiao Lou's prayer.
The 10-second countdown ended and everyone's eyes went dark.
When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves in a dark corridor. The long, narrow and deep corridor seemed to have no end, and there was no light around. A cold wind blew by, making everyone shiver.
Yu Hanjiang took out the luminous pearl for lighting and found that his teammates were all around him.
This is obviously not the Secret Room of Hearts. Hearts will assign different identities to solve the case...
In a dark environment, with teammates all together, what could it be?
[Welcome to Zhou Chang’s Secret Chamber: Tomb of the Headless General]
[You have arrived at the underground tomb of an ancient general. It is said that the ancients were very good at building their tombs into mazes and setting up various dangerous mechanisms in them to hinder the invasion of tomb robbers]
[Unfortunately, after you broke into the mausoleum, you have already aroused the dissatisfaction of the owner]
[Task requirement: Find the treasure hidden in the general’s tomb and leave the maze through the only exit of the tomb. 】
[This weekly is Diamond Weekly. Each team proceeds independently. There is no time limit, but an elimination system is implemented at the end. All participating teams are ranked at the same time. The shorter the time to leave the maze and the more treasures found, the higher the ranking.
】
[After the end of each week, the teams ranked in the bottom 20% will be directly eliminated]
Seeing the rows of reminders flashing before his eyes, Xiao Lou's face paled slightly.
——Diamond, or a diamond secret room with independent scoring by the team and elimination system at the end!
The elimination system at the end is actually very cruel. No matter how hard you work, all participating challengers are ranked together. As long as you are ranked in the bottom 20%, you are destined to be eliminated. Unlike Hearts, you can pass the level if you solve the case.
Spades, you can pass the level if you survive... Even if you successfully find the exit and treasure in the secret room this time, you will still be eliminated if your ranking is low!
Of course, Xiao Lou is not worried that his team will be so bad that he will be ranked at the bottom. However, not knowing the time and progress of other teams and not updating the rankings in real time will inevitably put a lot of psychological pressure on people.
Lao Mo's face was very ugly: "In the final elimination system, the competition will be very fierce. In the face of life and death, many teams will exert their potential several times higher than usual..."
Lu Jiuchuan whispered: "Quick, hurry up and take out the bullet."
Xiao Lou turned around and looked at him. Lu Jiuchuan was already sitting cross-legged on the damp and cold ground. He used his teeth to tear open the sleeves of his blood-stained shirt, revealing the hideous and horrific wounds.
From a common sense point of view, surgery cannot be performed in this environment. There is no disinfection or anesthesia. The person undergoing the surgery is equivalent to having their flesh and blood ripped out by a knife, and will suffer unimaginable severe pain.
But now in the card world, as long as the bullet is removed, Tang Ci's intelligent robot can bandage and treat the remaining injuries.
Xiao Lou held the blood spider dagger and looked back at Yu Hanjiang. The latter patted his shoulder lightly and whispered: "Since he asked for it, he can bear it and do it."
The corners of Lu Jiuchuan's lips raised into a chuckle: "It's troublesome."
Xiao Lou nodded and came to Lu Jiuchuan's side. Using the light of the night pearl, he picked up the light blood spider dagger, leaned over and quickly cut Lu Jiuchuan's arm.
The man's muscles tightened suddenly - the severe pain of being cut open by a sharp blade made his forehead break out in cold sweat, but he did not make any sound, just gritted his teeth tightly.
Xiao Lou knew that the slower he moved, the longer Brother Nine would have to suffer.
At this time, we can no longer drag our feet, it is best to make a quick decision.
Xiao Lou's face was serious and serious. He stared at Lu Jiuchuan's wounds intently. His slender hands quickly cut open Lu Jiuchuan's arm along the texture of the muscles. In the blur of blood and flesh, Xiao Lou soon discovered
He hit the bullet, and the next moment, he raised his finger and accurately picked out the bullet head with the dagger.
This dagger cannot be used as a scalpel at all. The trauma caused is too large. Lu Jiuchuan's arm is dripping with blood at this time. The blurred picture makes people's scalp numb just by looking at it...
Shao Qingge thought of Ye Qi in the tenth level, who also had a lot of bullets in his body.
In fact, at that time, he could have used this violent method to take out the bullet, and then use the Bug Ace to heal the wound. However, he was reluctant to let Xiaoye be disemboweled, and the location where Xiaoye was shot was in the heart of the chest, which was smaller than the arm.
Even more dangerous.
At this time, seeing Lu Jiuchuan sweating profusely and looking pale, Shao Qingge was still frightened. He leaned into Ye Qi's ear and whispered: "Remember my words, transforming into an insect queen does not mean that you are invincible.
The king will also be injured. Although it has the ability to repair within 24 hours, if it is not handled properly, the bullet left in the body after 24 hours may kill you."
Only then did Ye Qi realize how dangerous it was in the tenth level. He nodded seriously: "I understand, thank you." His teammates worked like crazy to solve the case all night, without sleeping for a minute, and left the level as quickly as possible.
Shi Guan, it turned out that I was afraid that something would happen to him...
Ye Qi's eyes were slightly hot, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's a pity that it's a square secret room now, and our Insect Ace cannot be used, otherwise Ninth Brother's injury would be healed immediately."
Tang Ci summoned his treatment robot to suture Lu Jiuchuan's wounds.
However, the treatment robot's ability was not as strong as that of Bug Ace, so Lu Jiuchuan still had to endure the severe pain. Fortunately, the wound began to heal quickly after being bandaged, and the man's pale face gradually improved.
Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, Liu Qiao and Lao Mo stood by with fear.
Lu Jiuchuan is such a man!
Xiao Lou's arm was cut open with a knife. Not to mention shouting about pain, he actually didn't say a word from the beginning to the end!
He is truly a soldier with a strong heart.
At first, everyone was not very relieved about the four new partners who joined the team. After all, everyone was completely unfamiliar with them. But at this time, seeing Lu Jiuchuan's reaction when he faced the injury, everyone felt ashamed and admired them in their hearts. It felt like hugging them.
Fell into the lap of a great god?
Xiao Lou's palms were sweaty, so he turned around and returned the dagger to Chu Huaying.
Chu Huaying put away the dagger with bloody spider patterns on the handle, glanced at Lu Jiuchuan, and said calmly: "My dagger is only used for killing people. It's a waste to use it to dig bullets for you."
Lu Jiuchuan laughed and looked at Xiao Lou: "Thank you, you are really brave and careful."
Xiao Lou tried his best to avoid causing too much damage to Lu Jiuchuan's arm. Instead, he used quick hands and feet and simple movements, which saved Lu Jiuchuan a lot of pain. His calmness and decisiveness at the critical moment made Lu Jiuchuan admire him very much. Thinking that this is his younger brother
Lu Jiuchuan couldn't help but pat Xiao Lou on the shoulder when he fell in love with him, and said with a chuckle: "You helped me once, let my brother repay you later."
Yu Hanjiang: "???"
Yu Hanjiang reacted and said with a stern face: "You still have time to joke!"
Lu Jiuchuan stopped joking and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's explore this general's tomb and what is buried there."
