Speaking of the silver mask, teammates who have experienced the Liuxi Village dungeon together have an impression of it.
When they were in Spade 4 Liuxi Village, the masked man they met was wearing a silver mask. The man's temperament was very special, and the mask on his face was also unique. There were some strange black patterns painted on the silver mask as decoration.
.
Shao Qingge carefully recalled the memory of the mask in his mind and said, "No wonder when I saw the Hunters in the maze just now, I thought their masks looked familiar. I've seen them in Liuxi Village before?"
Ye Qi walked up to Xiao Lou and asked softly, "Professor Xiao, do you think the twins are also hunters? It can't be a coincidence that they wear the same masks as the hunters, right?"
Xiao Lou couldn't come up with an accurate answer either.
A mask alone cannot explain the problem. However, the origin of the man codenamed White Fox is a mystery, and he may have a twin brother. Are these twins friends or foes?
If he was a hunter, why did he call a large number of challengers to gather in the bar after the stampede and encouraged everyone to pass the level as much as possible to leave this world? But if he was on the side of the challengers, how could he
Wearing the same mask?
Xiao Lou was puzzled. He looked at Tang Ci and asked, "Mr. Tang, does the Intelligence Bureau have any other news about this white fox? Is he still in the bar in Suncity?"
"Wait a minute, let me check."
Tang Ci opened his laptop, entered a long string of characters that no one could understand, and logged into the intelligence agency's intranet. This was an information network that Tang Ci had built himself, and had collected information on more than 90 challengers, including when they entered the main network.
city, detailed residences in the main city, and even their team formation, as well as some information about reality.
Bai Hu, formerly known as Bai Jinyu.
There is very little information about him. Tang Ci only knows that he came to Sun City half a year ago and opened a "Sunshine Coast" bar in Sun City. He usually lives in the bar. There is no way to find out the information about his teammates.
The intelligence bureau had limited information, so Tang Ci simply invaded Sun City's surveillance system. He stared at the computer screen and quickly checked the surveillance information near the Sunlight Coast Bar. Soon, he fixed the mouse on a surveillance system.
On the screen, he pointed at the image on the computer and said, "His bar is open."
It was 0:00 on Saturday night when everyone entered the weekly world. It took four and a half hours to clear the world weekly. The current time is exactly 5:00 in the morning. Bars are usually open all night, which is not unusual. What is strange is... Under surveillance,
Bai Jinyu happened to appear at the door of the bar and walked into the bar carrying a bag of takeaway.
Xiao Lou was startled, "Isn't he a challenger? If he is a challenger, he should have entered Zhou Chang's secret room like us, and there is a high probability that he has not come out yet?"
Yu Hanjiang analyzed, "Our weekly maze time of 4 hours and 38 minutes ranked first in the world. If there were no hunters who suddenly appeared and blew up the maze in the middle, we would not be in a hurry to escape and use the most risky method to rush out.
Other challenger teams would definitely take more than 5 hours to complete the maze according to their normal thinking."
In other words, if Bai Jinyu was the challenger, he would not have been able to return to the main city so quickly. Even if his team ranked second in the world, the time would not have been so short. 999 challengers are still trapped in the weekly maze.
.
Bai Jinyu appeared in the bar of Sun City at this time. There are only two explanations -
First, he is not a challenger.
Second, before the weekly routine opened in the early morning, he forcibly opened other secret rooms on the card wall and entered the secret room to avoid this weekly routine.
Tang Ci clenched the mouse and quickly retrieved Bai Jinyu's information, saying, "He came to Sun City half a year ago. The ID card he used at that time was indeed the number of the challenger. The first four digits of the challenger's ID card are different from those of the aborigines.
Same, that's why I recorded his information. He didn't participate in this weekly meeting? Maybe he opened the secret room in advance to avoid it? "
Open the fixed secret room on the card wall before Saturday morning to avoid Zhou Chang. This is the method Lu Jiuchuan taught Yu Hanjiang. Some time ago, Xiao Lou's team also used this technique to avoid several rounds of weekly tasks.
However, even if he opened the card secret room before midnight, could he come back so soon? His teammates cannot be found in the database, how could he successfully break through the level alone?
The more everyone thought about it, the more strange they felt.
Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin and said, "This white fox is full of doubts. How about I go and meet him in person?"
Yu Hanjiang immediately objected, "You are now the target of surveillance by the hunter organization and you should not show up easily."
"That's not a problem." Lu Jiuchuan raised his lips and took out a card in his hand. It was the mask he used while undercover in the Hunter organization. He could perform plastic surgery on himself and change his face immediately.
Yu Hanjiang was about to ask his brother what he wanted to change, but Lu Jiuchuan suddenly transformed into a fashionable college student in his twenties, with hair dyed golden and a row of earrings on his ears that blinded people's eyes.
Tang Ci "..."
Looking at the chuunibyou version of Lu Jiuchuan in front of him, Tang Ci looked away in disgust.
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "Is anyone willing to accompany me?"
Ye Qi was very interested in the bar and raised his hand, "I want to go."
Shao Qingge stopped him, "You'd better not go. On the night of the stampede at the concert, you appeared in public and played the piano on the stage. It's very likely that you will be recognized."
Ye Qi thought about it and put down his hand obediently. Qu Wanyue stood up with a smile and said, "I'll go with Long Sen. We didn't show up in public. We also used the Chameleon card to become invisible when we were in the maze. The surveillance of the hunter."
The device didn’t pick up on us.”
Long Sen also said, "Yes, even if they go to Moon City to check our information, it will take time."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and thought it would be more appropriate for Long Sen and Qu Wanyue to go to the bar. Xiao Lou said, "Teacher Qu, have you used your invisibility cloak?"
Qu Wanyue took out the card and said, "No."
Xiao Lou explained, "We used it when we passed through the eighteen levels of hell in the maze. The invisibility cloak is still cooling down. Can you borrow your card? Han Jiang and I will go too. Then you and Brother Jiu will go to the bar separately.
, hold Bai Jinyu while Han Jiang and I investigate privately to see if there are any secrets hidden in this bar."
Qu Wanyue and Long Sen immediately handed the cards to Xiao Lou.
Tang Ci said, "You five, please be careful while the rest stay behind."
His eyes swept over Shao Qingge, Ye Qi and others, and said, "For safety, everyone should not disperse for the time being. Just rest here tonight so that we can take care of each other."
Everyone had no objections to this arrangement. Mr. Tang's presidential suite was large enough that he could even rest on the sofa.
Lu Jiuchuan waved his hand, and the five-person group in the bar began to take action.
Lu Jiuchuan drove Tang Ci's private car and took four other teammates with him. They followed the navigation and soon arrived at the "Sunshine Coast" bar located on the seaside.
The location of this bar is very good. When you open the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the white sandy beach and the endless sea. At 5:30 in the morning, there are still many customers in the bar. There are also many people on the beach eating barbecue by candlelight. It is very leisurely and romantic.
.
The soft sound of guitar playing and singing came from the bar, and a female singer was singing.
Qu Wanyue pricked up her ears and listened for a moment, then said, "This song... I have never heard it before. It shouldn't be a song from our world, right? Have you heard of it?"
Everyone said that the melody was unfamiliar.
Yu Hanjiang said, "After parking the car later, Xiao Lou and I put on the invisibility cloaks and followed behind to explore the bar." After that, he looked at Lu Jiuchuan in the front row and warned, "Brother, although you have changed
Open your face and look like a rebellious college student, but be careful to avoid being recognized."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled, "Don't worry."
He parked the car in the parking lot next to him, opened the door and got out, lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth. He played the rebellious boy with yellow hair, earrings and a cigarette in his mouth so vividly that Xiao Lou couldn't help but watch it.
I just want to laugh - after such a long time of secret room challenge, everyone's acting skills have indeed improved qualitatively.
Lu Jiuchuan looked at Qu Wanyue and Long Sen and joked, "Let's just act as lovers and show our true colors."
Qu Wanyue smiled, "Okay, Ninth Brother, we will pretend not to know you."
Lu Jiuchuan said, "Well, you play your part. I will go in first later, Han Jiang and Xiao Lou will follow me, and you two will come in in a few minutes."
After saying that, he took the lead to leave the parking lot and turned towards the bar.
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed closely behind them wearing invisibility cloaks. They only had 30 minutes.
After Lu Jiuchuan opened the door, he deliberately left it open for a few seconds to let Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang in.
This is a "clear bar". The resident singer plays and sings songs with soft melody. The light in the bar is warm and the decoration is very stylish. It is not like the general high bar that is full of smoke and chaos. This bar is more suitable for three or two friends to hang out together.
Have a drink and chat.
As soon as he entered the bar, he saw a man with outstanding temperament wearing a mask sitting in front of the bar. He held two bottles of wine in his slender fingers and poured slowly into the goblet. The two wines merged and the contents of the goblet changed.
Showing dazzling colors - Bai Jinyu is mixing cocktails for guests.
The face of the man wearing the mask cannot be seen clearly, only a pair of dark and deep eyes are revealed.
This mask reminded Lu Jiuchuan of the hunters he encountered in the maze, especially the black pattern decoration on the silver-white mask. It was almost like a mass-produced copy by the same manufacturer.
Lu Jiuchuan walked to the bar, raised his fingers and tapped the table, "Give me a glass of Tequila Sunrise."
Bai Jinyu said in a gentle voice, "Okay, please wait."
Soon, he mixed a glass of tequila for Lu Jiuchuan. This glass of wine was made very skillfully. The color was beautiful orange-red, with a gradient from light to dark from bottom to top, just like the sky at sunrise.
of morning glow.
Lu Jiuchuan took the goblet and sat beside him drinking gloomily.
Tequila is a strong drink, but he drank it without changing his face. After drinking it all, he asked for another glass.
After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but remind her, "This wine has a high alcohol content. If you drink it again, you will get drunk."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, have another drink."
At this moment, Qu Wanyue and Long Sen also walked into the bar. They came to the bar hand in hand, looking like a couple in love. Qu Wanyue wore a strapless dress, and her long hair was scattered around her shoulders.
, looking very sexy and charming. Long Sen was wearing a shirt and trousers, tall and big, and the two of them matched perfectly when they walked together.
Long Sen looked at Qu Wanyue tenderly, leaned into her ear and whispered, "What do you want to drink?"
Qu Wanyue's face turned red, "I'm not very good at drinking."
Long Sen looked at the drink list and said, "Give her a glass of white coconut palm."
This glass of wine was very similar to the color of coconut milk. Qu Wanyue took a sip with the attached straw. The rich coconut aroma stimulated the taste buds just right. It was sour, sweet and delicious.
Long Sen gently put one hand on his wife's shoulder and asked, "Do you like it?"
Qu Wanyue nodded, "Yeah."
Long Sen asked, "Would you like to try something else?"
Qu Wanyue thought for a moment, glanced at Lu Jiuchuan, and said, "I want to drink like him."
Long Sen said, "Is that tequila? No, it's too strong and you'll get drunk."
Qu Wanyue smiled heartlessly, "You can carry me back when you're drunk."
The two began to show off their affection, and many singles in the bar were blinded by this loving couple.
Next to him, Lu Jiuchuan was drinking and murmuring in a painful voice, "Xiao Nian, I love you so much... Why do you break up just like you said? There will be no one in this world who loves you more than me..."
Yu Hanjiang "..."
Xiao Lou "..."
Please continue the show and give us two some time.
Lu Jiuchuan's "drunk" nonsense was extremely realistic, and he played the role of a lovelorn boy so hard that he only had a few tears in his eyes.
Xiao Lou turned around and found that Lu Jiuchuan's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry. He suddenly grabbed Bai Jinyu's arm and said affectionately, "Xiao Nian, you are back, right?"
Bai Jinyu did not push him away, but there was a smile in her eyes: "This handsome guy, you are drunk, I am not Xiao Nian."
Lu Jiuchuan glared at him with red eyes, "I'm not drunk, Xiao Nian, don't leave me..."
While holding on to Bai Jinyu, he reached for the other person's mask, "What's that on your face?"
However, the moment he came into contact with the silver mask, Bai Jinyu suddenly took action!
The man's fingers were as fast as lightning, and he grabbed Lu Jiuchuan's wrist as hard as an eagle's claws. His eyes that were smiling just now became extremely cold. Lu Jiuchuan was pinched by the opponent's life gate, and he didn't dare to move for a while, so he had to continue to act "Little
read?"
Bai Jinyu said lightly, "You are drunk."
He winked at the security guards beside him, and the two tall security guards lifted Lu Jiuchuan up and sent him out of the bar.
Qu Wanyue looked frightened and whispered, "Is this handsome guy broken in love?"
Long Sen looked sympathetic, "I probably just broke up with my girlfriend and came to the bar to get drunk."
Qu Wanyue took a few sips of wine, and the boss handed her another glass of Tequila Sunrise, which was the same as Lu Jiuchuan's. She took a sip, and the alcohol was indeed too strong, making her cough. Long Sen took it with a smile, "
I just said, this wine is too strong, you still insist on drinking it..."
The two of them continued to drink and waste time in front of the bar.
At this time, Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou had already figured out the layout of the bar.
Sunshine Coast Bar has two floors, the upper and lower floors. The upper floor is a small private room, the lower floor is a hall, and the middle is a hollow structure, so the resident singers on the first floor can also be seen in the upper private rooms.
Yu Hanjiang went around the second floor and found nothing suspicious.
Xiao Lou came to the back of the bar on the first floor. He saw another door in the corner, which looked like a storage room in the bar. But the strange thing was that this door was locked, and it was a fingerprint lock that could not be opened with a key.
.
Xiao Lou put his ear up and heard a rustling sound coming from inside.
The sound sounded like a mouse digging a hole, or like... someone struggling?
He looked around. At this time, the eyes at the bar were on Qu Wanyue and Long Sen. From Xiao Lou's position, he could only vaguely see Bai Jinyu's back. Xiao Lou quickly placed the drone surveillance above the door.
He found an inconspicuous position on the beam, and then returned to the bar, signaling Longsen and the others to withdraw first.
The half hour of the invisibility cloak was coming soon. Long Sen noticed someone lightly touching his back. Knowing it was Xiao Lou, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said, "Thank you, boss, the wine you mixed is very good."
Delicious, will come again next time.”
He pulled Qu Wanyue out, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou followed immediately.
Outside the door, Lu Jiuchuan hugged a tree and vomited for a while - of course he was not drunk, he was just pretending to be drunk. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a few other people coming out, and then he stumbled towards the parking lot.
There was no one in the parking lot. Yu Hanjiang opened the car and everyone quickly got in and closed the door.
Qu Wanyue asked, "Have you discovered anything?"
Lu Jiuchuan was the first to say, "This white fox is very skilled and can react faster than Chu Huaying. Huaying's physical fitness has been strengthened by many S-class cards, and her reaction ability is fast enough. However, the threat that the white fox gives me is faster than Chu Huaying's."
Hua Ying is even stronger. I just deliberately tested him. If I hadn't pretended to be drunk, my wrist might have been broken the moment he took action."
As the captain of the Marine Special Forces, Lu Jiuchuan's fighting skills are already top-notch. Bai Jinyu can make him feel threatened. This person must not be underestimated.
Yu Hanjiang nodded solemnly, "I also saw it. His grappling hand movements should have been professionally trained. Even if ordinary people have cards to enhance their strength, they cannot reach this level."
He turned back to look at Xiao Lou, "Did you find anything on the first floor?"
Xiao Lou said, "There is a door behind the bar. It has a fingerprint lock and I couldn't open it. But there was a strange sound inside the door, which sounded like someone was struggling. So, I left an inconspicuous position at the door.
Human-machine surveillance.”
Lu Jiuchuan praised, "You'd better be careful. Let's wait and see if the surveillance will capture anything."
The identity of the white fox was unknown, so they couldn't alert him, so they had no choice but to investigate secretly.
After a while, a picture appeared on Xiao Lou's surveillance card——
First there was a "beep" sound, and the door was opened, followed by the footsteps of leather shoes on the floor. The footsteps were slow and slow, as if walking on the beach. Bai Jinyu used his fingerprint to unlock the house and put a takeaway.
On the table.
Since the door was closed, the picture inside could not be captured, but the sound could be heard.
One man said coldly, "How long do you think you can lock me up?"
Then there was another similar voice, "Wouldn't it be better to stay here and have food and drink?"
The other party said mockingly, "So, I should still thank you for your hospitality, brother?"
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and then became clearer and louder. Then, there was a burst of noise in the ears. The man opened the door and looked up at the drone surveillance. His masked face was zoomed in on Xiao Lou's screen.
Xiao Lou saw those deep eyes slightly bent, as if with a smile, "Not bad, they actually put surveillance cameras in my place."
The people in the room were surprised and asked, "Who is checking you?"
Bai Jinyu said, "The lovelorn and drunk guy just now was very good at acting. I heard that Lu Jiuchuan has a card called Mask, and he can change his appearance at any time." He turned back and stared at the monitor, "Lu Jiuchuan, is that you?" Then he said
Take down the drone, point it at a bottle of wine, and let the camera take a full picture.
Lu Jiuchuan "..."
Xiao Lou pinched his eyebrows helplessly and put away the drone. "I hid the drone in a very inconspicuous corner, but he discovered it so quickly. This person is really cautious."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "I don't blame you. We have at least gained something from this investigation."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and thought carefully, then said, "The person he locked up is his twin brother, right? Their voices are very similar. If the tone wasn't quite different, it would sound like they were asking themselves questions."
Xiao Lou also agreed, "I just heard that man call him brother, why did he lock up his brother?"
Everyone looked at each other, the secrets of these brothers were really puzzling.
At this moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly thought of something and whispered, "We met the masked man, Bai Jinyu's twin brother, in the 4 of Spades. And in the 3 of Spades, there was a hunter in the Financial Crisis Secret Room."
Xiao Lou's spirit suddenly shook, "You mean, the younger brother we met in Spades 4 is most likely not a challenger, but a hunter?!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "As early as the financial crisis in Spades 3, there were hunters who killed 'outsiders' and took over their identity as strangers and infiltrated into our team. This may also happen in Spades 4, right?"
?We saw the masked man using cards at the time and subconsciously regarded him as a fellow challenger, but ignored that he might also be a hunter, a card obtained from the deceased after killing the challenger."
Hearing this, Xiao Lou couldn't help but feel the hair on his back.
At that time, a man wearing a mask suddenly appeared and took away everyone's gems by retrieving objects from the air. Later, he joined everyone's team and passed the level with everyone... No one suspected that he was a hunter.
But if he is a hunter, it makes sense - because hunters can appear in low-level spades secret rooms. The B&B robbers encountered in spades 3 are evidence.
strangeness.
This can explain why the twins came to the main city at different times.
If the twins are hunters and they can freely enter and exit low-level secret rooms, then the time when Xiao Lou and the others met their younger brother in the 4 of Spades has no reference significance. Maybe the younger brother came to the main city half a year ago just like the older brother.
, but it just happened to be that day when I received the mission to kill someone in the 4 of Spades, and met Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and his party.
——He is not a newcomer to the 4 of spades, but a newcomer to the 4 of spades to hunt.
He probably realized that Xiao Lou and the others had joined forces and he couldn't defeat them alone, so he didn't kill anyone anymore, but pretended to be a fellow challenger and passed the level with everyone. The challengers who died in the village might have been his fault.
Qu Wanyue suddenly said, "By the way, Long Sen and I escaped from the village very early at that time. There were also several challengers outside the village. Those who dared to leave the village at that time should be strong, but then we met Professor Xiao."
At that time, those few challengers had been eaten by wild beasts until they were left with only their bones. Could it be that... the masked man killed them? Their bodies were eaten by wild beasts?"
Long Sen said, "And later, the bodies of the challengers found in the village. We initially thought they were casualties caused by internal fighting between the challengers, but we can't rule out that it was the hands of the masked man?"
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was more reasonable than his previous guess.
When they met the younger brother of the twins, they had already agreed to join forces. At that time, in addition to Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Shao Qingge, Ye Qi, Liu Qiao and Long Qu, there was also a team of four people from the same company.
The staff also have a few cards in their hands.
A temporary alliance composed of scattered people has great strength in numbers. The masked man may not be able to attack so many people, so he chose to hide his identity and stay with everyone to look for opportunities. Since Yu Hanjiang was alert enough and did not allow his teammates to act alone, he never
He found an opportunity, so when clearing the customs, most of Xiao Lou and others chose the City of the Moon, but he went to the City of the Sun alone.
Bai Jinyu and this twin brother may be members of the hunter organization.
Tang Ci said that Bai Jinyu's ID card showed that he was the challenger...
This proves that Xiao Lou's previous speculation was correct.
There are a large number of challengers among the hunters, so they know so much about the challengers! Including various cards and weekly secret rooms. Moreover, they also brainwash the indigenous people of this world and make everyone crazy.
Hunting "outsiders", in fact, they themselves are "outsiders"!
This group of people are traitors who have lost their humanity among the challengers, and they actually went on a killing spree against their compatriots!
But what makes Xiao Lou puzzled is, what was the opportunity that turned the challenger into a hunter of the hostile camp?
