After hearing Lu Jiuchuan's question, Tang Ci looked calm: "Do you think everyone will believe you or me?"
Lu Jiuchuan chuckled and said: "Your strategy is really smart. In order to make everyone believe you, you can even save Ye Qi and sacrifice your fellow hunters. As long as you gain everyone's trust, you can kill me with the help of your teammates."
, and then enter the next world with everyone and get rid of other teammates."
He paused and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that you made so many calculations and missed a little bit."
Tang Ci asked calmly: "What do you mean?"
Lu Jiuchuan said calmly: "I told Qu Wanyue to go to Crescent Moon Spring in Dunhuang because she has the word 'moon' in her name, which is easier to remember. The hunter read Qu Wanyue's memory through mind reading, thinking that this
That’s my secret code. In fact, what I agreed with Xiao Tang is not Crescent Moon Spring at all.”
Tang Ci nodded: "Yes, it is indeed not Crescent Moon Spring that Brother Nine and I made a private agreement with. He said he would take me to the beach for vacation."
Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows: "That's nonsense. What I told Xiao Tang was to go horse riding on the grassland."
Teammates: "..."
Since it was a private agreement, no one knew what the secret code between Brother Jiu and Tang Ci was.
Should I believe Lu Jiuchuan or Tang Ci?
No one can guarantee that they can make accurate judgments. No matter Ninth Brother or Tang Ci, they both look exactly like the teammates everyone knows on the surface. The consequences of killing either one by mistake will be unbearable.
Ye Qi was in a state of confusion, always feeling that something was wrong.
Since entering the secret room, he has met Professor Xiao, Captain Yu, Liu Qiao, called Shao Qingge, and went to find Tang Ci, Senior Gui, Uncle Mo with Sister Ying, and later met Mr. and Mrs. Long Qu...
They never looked for Lu Jiuchuan at all.
Because Sister Ying said that the current world is the world on December 24th. Lu Jiuchuan died three years ago. If you want to find Lu Jiuchuan in this world, you can only go to the martyrs cemetery to sweep the grave, and it is impossible to find the real person. If Lu Jiuchuan appears, it will definitely be a hunt.
Pretended.
But now, looking at Lu Jiuchuan with sharp eyes and joking smile in front of him, Ye Qi always felt that this ninth brother was very real, so real that he didn't look like a hunter at all...
But it is indeed unreasonable for Lu Jiuchuan to appear in the world on December 24, and this is also the biggest contradiction.
On the other hand, Tang Ci behaved as usual from beginning to end, and he saved Ye Qi at the critical moment - if he was a hunter, why would he need to save Ye Qi?
The more Ye Qi thought about it, the more entangled he became. He looked at Long Sen and Qu Wanyue, both of whom had complicated expressions and were obviously undecided. Looking at Senior Gui again, the latter was frowning in thought. Sister Ying was still an ice sculpture.
, none of his teammates expressed their opinions, so Ye Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Mr. Tang is right, Ninth Brother should have died three years ago, how could he appear in this world?"
Lu Jiuchuan looked at Ye Qi: "According to this logic, I can never appear in the subsequent world, because I died three years ago, and time will not go back?" He paused, chuckled: "Xiao Ye, are you sure?
, does it have to be the first world you are in?"
His rhetorical question stunned Ye Qi for a moment - at that time, the floating box prompted that the first link of the relay mission was "The World on December 24th" and asked them to live until January 3rd. They took it for granted that the relay mission was based on
The time is postponed.
But Lu Jiuchuan is right. Judging that Lu Jiuchuan is not the real person based on time alone is untenable. Because they don't know whether December 24th is the first world?
Seeing that Ye Qi's expression was shaken, Lu Jiuchuan continued: "The world I am in is the first world. Three years ago, on July 1st, I was asked to survive on a deserted island for three days. I came to this world after completing the task.
The world has triggered your mission."
Ye Qi was doubtful: "In other words, you completed the preliminary tasks in the world three years ago?"
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "Yes. Only if I survived the world three years ago can I meet you in the subsequent world. According to the logic of time, the world I am in is the first, and the world today is the second."
This is like a relay running task in an online game. You need to complete the "prerequisite tasks" to unlock it.
Assuming that Lu Jiuchuan's words are true and he completes the preliminary tasks, then the task of surviving on the desert island must be quite dangerous. If he fails to complete it and cannot unlock the relay task, other teammates will be eliminated collectively.
Ye Qi looked at Lu Jiuchuan carefully and saw that the man was wearing camouflage clothes commonly used for survival in the wild. His tall figure looked more capable in this clothes. However, there were a lot of mottled blood stains on the dark green clothes, which was different from the camouflage clothes.
The patterns blend together and are easy to miss if you don't look carefully.
The appearance of Ninth Brother just now surprised everyone, and no one noticed the blood stains on his clothes. Now when they took a closer look, they found that he had suffered a lot of injuries, and there were also scratched scars on his exposed arms, and some of the scars were still there.
There was blood oozing out, and it looked like a new injury.
The scars on his body and the blood stains on his clothes were consistent with the preliminary task of "surviving on a desert island" as he mentioned. It can be imagined how many dangers he encountered in the wild.
Is this person so skilled in acting that he even considers the details of his clothes, or is it... that Tang Ci is fake?
The teammates were unsure.
Tang Ci looked at Lu Jiuchuan calmly and said: "The reason you made up is too ridiculous. How could the gatekeeper let you challenge the wild survival mission alone? It's too much for you to let your success or failure determine the fate of the whole team.
You think highly of yourself."
Lu Jiuchuan chuckled lightly, and when he looked back at Tang Ci, his eyes instantly turned cold: "You said a lot of nonsense and lies, but this sentence is the only one that makes sense - if I fail alone, the other teammates will all
Being eliminated is really unfair to everyone."
Tang Ci was slightly startled when he heard this.
Could it be said that there was someone else doing the preliminary tasks with Lu Jiuchuan?
He seemed to have noticed something, and his back suddenly stiffened——
Almost as a conditioned reflex, Tang Ci suddenly turned sideways and hid to the right. His movements were as fast as lightning. Everyone felt that a black shadow passed before their eyes, and Tang Ci instantly appeared in the distance. However, the person behind him moved more quickly than him.
Quickly, there was a pleasant "bang" sound, and a bullet shot through the air from a distance and accurately hit Tang Ci's back!
That bullet can actually hit a fast-moving person, which shows how accurate the opponent's marksmanship is.
Tang Ci dodged quickly enough. The bullet only hit the area below the shoulder blade and failed to penetrate his heart. However, the sharp pain from his back and the large amount of blood spewing out made his face turn pale!
Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "——It's Captain Yu!"
Besides Yu Hanjiang, who else could have such a fast, ruthless and accurate shooting technique?
Lu Jiuchuan smiled evilly: "I've been chatting with you for so long, do you really think I want to tell you the truth with your mouth? I'm just waiting for Hanjiang to arrive at the sniper point... Fake, you didn't even touch a finger of my Xiao Tang
Nothing compares to it!”
Tang Ci endured the severe pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you do it?"
Gui Yuanzhang, who was frowning and thinking just now, suddenly threw out the brush in his hand, and a strong wind hit them. Qu Wanyue and Long Sen were caught off guard and were blown dozens of meters away by the hurricane——
There happens to be a tall building behind you. If you bump into it, your internal organs will be smashed.
Ye Qi's heart was in his throat. Just as the two of them were about to hit a tall building, a piece of white silk suddenly fell from the sky. Long Sen hurriedly reached out to grab the white silk and wrapped his other hand around Qu Wanyue. The two of them used their strength.
Jumping up, he jumped to the top of the building without any danger.
They saw a familiar figure.
The man who set up a sniper rifle at a high place was wearing a police uniform, his face was very serious, and his eyes were calm and sharp. He was hidden in the darkness, like a confident hunter staring at his prey.
Qu Wanyue said in a trembling voice: "Yu, Captain Yu?"
Yu Hanjiang said a faint "Yes" and whispered: "Back off."
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were shocked, but Yu Hanjiang's momentum was too strong, so they subconsciously took a few steps back after listening to his words.
Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and opened the scope.
On the rooftop opposite, "Tang Ci" and "Gui Yuan Zhang" suddenly took action. Only now did Ye Qi finally realize what was wrong - when he went to the police station to find Yu Hanjiang, he mentioned Lu Jiuchuan, and Captain Yu looked a little confused.
Subtlety. Yu Hanjiang didn't say that he knew Ye Qi, but he didn't say that he didn't know him either. He just showed a "business is business" attitude.
Perhaps the Yu team at that time was not sure whether Ye Qi was genuine or not, so they did not recognize each other directly?
In addition, Tang Ci's timing of rescuing Ye Qi in the bathroom was too clever. Qi Ran was seriously injured, and Chu Huaying and Long Qu had already rushed to the scene. Even if he didn't save Ye Qi, with the same speed as Chu Huaying, he would
You can rush into the fire scene to save Ye Qi.
Tang Ci's rescue of Ye Qi was actually just a favor to make Ye Qi believe that he was real.
What's more, the metal cover Tang Ci used to rescue Ye Qi was something Ye Qi had never seen before.
The metal cover is very similar to Tang Ci's card "Protective Mecha". It can isolate all attacks from the outside world, is resistant to high temperatures and cold, and is equivalent to an invincible cover. But if you look closely, there are actually differences. Tang Ci's protective mecha has a very similar shape.
It looks like a humanoid mecha in the future world, but the cover that saved Ye Qi is shaped like an egg.
At that time, Ye Qi thought that Tang Ci's mecha could transform and didn't think much about it. Now it seems that the differences in these details are enough to prove that the card is not Tang Ci's at all, but the Hunter's!
This hunter probably only got Tang Ci's drone card to use it to create mystery.
The timing of Gui Lao's appearance was also very strange. He and Tang Ci came to the teammates at the same time, and their explanations were very similar.
One said, "There is a hunter in the company who deliberately deceived Chu Huaying and Ye Qi who came looking for them." Another said, "The housekeeper is a hunter. He poisoned his own food and deceived his teammates who came looking for them."
". Both of them said that they had dealt with the predators around them in private before coming to the restaurant to join their teammates.
But if this statement is true...
Why didn't the hunters just lure Chu Huaying and Ye Qi into a trap? Instead, they deceived them away?
The predators of the company can use "I will take you to find Mr. Tang" as an excuse to lure the two people into the encirclement; the predators of Gui Lao's family can also take them to find Mr. Gui and then trick them into
Trap. How could any hunter use the excuses of "Tang resigned on a business trip" or "returning to his old age to give a lecture" to defraud Chu Huaying and Ye Qi who came to their door?
Isn’t this the same as watching the prey come to the door, only to drive the prey away?
How could a hunter be so stupid?
Therefore, what "Tang Ci" and "Guiyuan Zhang" said are lies.
There are indeed 6 teammates in this world.
The real teammates appeared last—Lu Jiuchuan and Yu Hanjiang!
