Xiao Lou had a hunch that his and Yu Hanjiang's guesses about the rules of the card world were getting closer and closer to the truth.
As early as the moment when the hunted followed the tomb in Zhou Chang's secret room of the "Tomb of the Headless General" in the City of Sun, Xiao Lou had speculated that there must be someone in the hunter organization who knew them very well.
.
Tang Ci also said that the information from the Intelligence Bureau had probably been leaked. Therefore, the card information of their 12-member team would be accurately grasped by the Hunters. But at that time, Xiao Lou had not thought that the Hunter organization actually
It is composed of humans. He thought that some traitors had appeared among humans and joined the Hunter Alliance.
Now it seems that Ye Qi's idea is the most reasonable. Xiaoye once guessed that the card world is like a massively multiplayer online game, divided into two camps from the beginning. What the challenger needs to do is to clear the secret room and draw cards to obtain them.
What the hunter needs to do is to find a way to kill the challenger so as to obtain the cards from the challenger.
Both are for survival, but the goals are completely different.
As challengers, they still follow the rules, adhere to the bottom line, and never kill innocent people indiscriminately. However, the hunters have long lost their humanity during their long-term missions. They have become cold-blooded and numb, killing people like chopping vegetables.
Without caring about the other person's feelings, they can try their best to pretend to be your relatives or friends, and then stab you in the back when you are unprepared.
Xiao Lou was not vigilant enough at that time, so he was stabbed to death by Liu Qiao.
Thinking of this, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Have you never doubted Liu Qiao?"
Xiao Lou shook his head: "Liu Qiao cannot be a hunter. We have known each other for so long. Although I don't know her 100%, I believe in Xiao Liu's personality. She will never kill me just to survive."
Yu Hanjiang said: "It seems that the Liu Qiao who killed you is a hunter in disguise?"
Xiao Lou is also more inclined to this theory. He said: "Xiao Liu has a [Twin] card on his body, which can copy the people he has seen within half an hour. At that time, there must be a hunter hiding in the maze, killing Liu Qiao and
Ye Qi was pulled away at the same time, and then the hunter managed to control Liu Qiao, took her [Twin Cards] and pretended to be her, then returned to the corridor and attacked me."
Yu Hanjiang said: "This sneak attack by the Hunter has obviously been planned for a long time. You have always been cautious. If you suddenly met Liu Qiao, you would definitely exchange passwords with her or use some questions to confirm her identity. Therefore, they caught her
This opportunity in the maze can be changed in just a few seconds, so you don't have time to think too much."
It only took less than 10 seconds for Liu Qiao to disappear and reappear in front of Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou really didn't expect that Liu Qiao would be a different person in such a short period of time. He frowned and said: "The hunters have always been very aware of our movements. I suspect that they were the ones who let the rats bite you and deliberately led us to the oasis to find them."
Medicine, and then created a fake hospital to wait for me to take the bait. Liu Qiao is a time bomb they put in the team, and she will definitely continue to kill other teammates."
When Xiao Lou said this, his face turned slightly pale: "At that time, there were only me, Liu Qiao and Ye Qi in the maze. Ye Qi was not around when Liu Qiao killed me. Next, Liu Qiao will definitely kill Ye Qi.
Then bring streptomycin back to rescue Long Sen, gain everyone's trust, and then find an opportunity to attack everyone..."
The more Yu Hanjiang thought about it, the more frightened she became. Assuming Liu Qiao could really break into the team, maybe she would kill her teammates one by one and let everyone be wiped out in the Double King Secret Room!
According to the order of signing the contract, the new captain should be handed over to Shao Qingge. I wonder if Mr. Shao and the others can see through the hunter's conspiracy?
Both of them are worried about the safety of their teammates, but unfortunately, they can't protect themselves now.
When the time for the invisibility cloak came, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang appeared one after another. At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the distance, as if something was crawling in the sand. The two people immediately stood back to back, staring at each other alertly.
ground.
Suddenly, several sharp thorns as sharp as swords emerged from the sand one after another!
Yu Hanjiang's eyes flashed, and he threw Xiao Lou down on the sand, holding him and rolling him around for more than ten times. Xiao Lou rolled on the ground until he was dizzy and ate a lot of sand in his mouth. He quickly judged that,
Those spikes are exactly the tails of poisonous scorpions that live in the desert.
The tail of this scorpion is as sharp as a sword and contains highly venom. Once stung, the two people will definitely not survive today.
Xiao Lou said in a trembling voice: "Is it another scorpion group?"
Yu Hanjiang tightened his arms hard and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Yes, there are more scorpions here than in the Double King's Secret Room, and they can burrow into the sand and move very flexibly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge scorpion tail suddenly stabbed out from the ground. Yu Hanjiang was very quick and pulled Xiao Lou to the side and rolled to the side. The sharp thorn almost touched Xiao Lou's ear and pierced the sand.
His heart was about to stop beating, and he hugged Yu Hanjiang tightly.
While Yu Hanjiang led him to roll on the sand to avoid, he raised the submachine gun in his hand, only to hear several consecutive "bang bang bang" piercing gunshots - countless bullets shot out like a torrential rain, and a large amount of blood quickly
It dyed the sand red!
Yu Hanjiang used fierce firepower to suppress the scorpions and pushed them back several meters, but Xiao Lou knew that this was not a long-term solution. If this continued, they would soon be overwhelmed by the scorpions.
Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Hanjiang, let me try a card."
Yu Hanjiang nodded and helped Xiao Lou get up from the sand. Xiao Lou simply summoned Su Shi——
When will the bright moon come? Ask the sky for wine.
Su Shi releases a limited ultimate move that changes the current scene into a "full moon night" for 8 hours, and causes all targets within 500 meters to stop all actions for 1 minute. At the same time, Su Shi can also refresh the status of all character cards.
skill, and create a piece of Dongpo meat.
Xiao Lou cast three skills in a row, and then saw the card [Su Shi] turned into pieces in his hand.
He put the Dongpo meat into the mineral water bottle and put it away, and looked up at the sky that turned into a full moon night - for some reason, when the sky divided into two was replaced by the "full moon night" created by Su Shi, not only
The scorpions disappeared, and the desert suddenly became extremely quiet. Even the sound of wind and sand disappeared. It seemed that only the breathing of two people was left in the empty world.
This strange silence made Xiao Lou very uneasy. He looked at the sky and whispered: "The sun representing the king is covered, and the crescent moon of Xiao Wang has also disappeared. The 'full moon night' created by Su Shi can continue
8 hours, will we be safe during these 8 hours?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "It's better to be careful. The Nightmare Chamber shouldn't give us much time to rest."
The two waited in place for a while. No animals came to attack them again. Xiao Lou asked, "Do you want to go forward?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Let's go. Wait where you are. Those people in the maze may chase them out."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, familiar footsteps sounded behind him.
As expected, Yu Hanjiang's relatives and colleagues chased him out with batons, guns and other weapons.
Yu Hanjiang's face darkened, and he hurriedly pulled Xiao Lou to escape - fortunately, he had used Mr. Shao's wealth to copy a [Body as Light as a Swallow] card. At this time, his assault rifle bullets had been used up, and he
Throwing the gun into the air as a landing point, he quickly stepped on the gun with both feet, picked up Xiao Lou, and suddenly flew out like an arrow from a string!
Although those "relatives" were very powerful in combat, they could not fly easily. Within a moment, Yu Hanjiang left them far behind.
I don’t know how far they flew, but there was an endless desert under their feet without any trace of small animals. Yu Hanjiang finally landed back on the sand with confidence. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Lou suggested: "We might as well eat something first."
, to replenish energy?”
He could see that Yu Hanjiang had just been in the maze with his relatives and colleagues, and after walking out of the maze, he encountered a poisonous scorpion. He was exhausted physically and his face was a little pale. He obviously had to hold on for a breath to keep from falling.
Yu Hanjiang was indeed exhausted. He didn't dare to be careless, so he nodded and said: "I still have a supply card with me. Have you used up all the supplies? We have to save some food."
Xiao Lou's card had already been used in the Double King's Secret Room, and when Yu Hanjiang had a high fever, he gave the other party the remaining mineral water, but there was still a pack of biscuits in his pocket.
Xiao Lou took out the biscuits and handed them to Yu Hanjiang: "You can eat them."
Yu Hanjiang simply opened the packaging bag and gave half to him: "Half for each person, you also need to replenish your strength."
Meeting his deep eyes, Xiao Lou didn't hesitate anymore, took the biscuit and said: "Okay. Do you want to share the piece of braised pork with it?"
Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "It's better to keep it, maybe it will be useful."
The fragrant meat is really a great temptation for them who are hungry, but they are reluctant to eat it, because in addition to eating it, the braised meat also has another function, which can make a large range of animals smell the fragrance and gather around it.
If you are attacked by wild beasts again in the future, you may be able to save your life.
The two sat on the sand and ate a pack of biscuits.
Yu Hanjiang kept the supply card for now, because Xiao Lou didn't know how long they would survive in this harsh environment...
Just when they finished eating the cookies, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
The man's whole body was covered with yellow sand, almost blending in with the surrounding desert, and he looked miserable. He was walking forward slowly, with a limp in his walking posture, as if he had been injured.
Xiao Lou immediately stood up alertly, and Yu Hanjiang even narrowed his eyes and clenched his pistol in his pocket.
The other party stopped about ten meters away from the two of them, his voice trembling slightly: "Professor Xiao, Captain Yu? Is that you?"
Xiao Lou was stunned: "...Ye Qi?"
The young man's face has been blurred by the yellow sand, and his clothes are the same color as the sand. He can't see clearly at all, but the voice sounds like Ye Qi. Just as Xiao Lou was about to take a step forward, Yu Hanjiang suddenly pulled Xiao Lou gently.
hand.
Xiao Lou understood, stopped and asked cautiously: "Why are you here?"
Ye Qi's voice was very depressed: "I was killed by Liu Qiao."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, their expressions becoming more solemn.
***
Inside the Secret Room of the Two Kings.
Shao Qingge's expression turned extremely ugly.
Because, an extra [Team Contract] appeared in his hand out of thin air.
Since Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang died successively, he, the third person to sign, actually became the new captain. He couldn't believe it, how could someone as strong as Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang suddenly die?!
Before he had time to think about it, Chu Huaying's voice came from the earphones: "Mr. Shao, call your teammates quickly!"
Shao Qingge took a deep breath and placed Li Qingzhao's sign next to the vineyard.
Li Qingzhao's mark can be modified 5 times, this is the last time, and the card will be invalidated when used up.
It was marked that teammates could not be summoned until 5 minutes later. Shao Qingge took advantage of this time and quickly sneaked into the vineyard, picked a large number of grapes and put them into his backpack.
Five minutes passed quickly, and teammates appeared one by one.
Everyone's expressions were very bad, and Lu Jiuchuan was furious. Veins popped out on his clenched fists. His eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Shao Qingge and asked, "What's going on? How could Xiao Lou and Han Jiang die?!"
"
Tang Ci gently shook his hand and whispered: "Brother Ninth, calm down."
Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath, resisted the urge to hit someone, and looked at Shao Qingge: "Mr. Shao, you explain."
Shao Qingge frowned: "I don't know either. We were operating in separate teams at the time. Hua Ying and I were on the left and right, and Xiao Lou took Liu Qiao and Ye Qi to the front." He looked around and was suddenly startled: "
Where is Ye Qi?!"
Teammates, you looked at me and I looked at you, and you soon discovered that Ye Qi was not here either.
Qu Wanyue said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Shao, you are the new captain. Please take a look at the contract. Is Xiao Ye's name still there?"
Shao Qingge opened the contract and took a look, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He always smiles, but everyone has never seen his face look so ugly. The transformation of the Insect King has not ended yet, Shao Qingge's red eyes are as scary as an angry beast, and for a while, everyone is silent.
She looked at him anxiously, afraid of hearing the worst outcome.
After a while, Shao Qingge closed his eyes with a painful look on his face: "Ye Qi is no longer here either."
Everyone: “…………”
He opened his eyes and looked at Liu Qiao, his eyes as sharp as a sword: "Xiao Liu, tell me, what exactly happened?"
Liu Qiao's face was as pale as paper, and her shoulders were shaking slightly. She suppressed her sobs and whispered: "We went to the hospital to find medicine, and ended up walking into a mirror maze. There were mirrors on both sides of the maze, and something appeared inside.
Many illusions of relatives. Ye Qi and I were pulled into a secret room full of mirrors. Professor Xiao told us how to get out, but the result..."
She paused, looked up at Shao Qingge, and said with red eyes: "I returned to the corridor and found Professor Xiao lying in a pool of blood, stabbed in the chest. There must be a hunter in the maze! I noticed it.
No, I hurriedly turned around and walked back to the mirrored secret room. I didn't see Ye Qi, so I don't know if he also met the hunter."
When Lu Jiuchuan heard this, he couldn't help but frown: "Xiao Lou has always been cautious. How did the hunter get close to him and kill him with one blow? He is connected to me and has a telepathic connection, but I didn't sense the transmission from him just now.
red flag."
Tang Ci looked at Liu Qiao, then at Lu Jiuchuan, and said calmly: "Xiao Lou should have been killed by someone using a card like 'One Hit Kill', otherwise, it would take a few seconds for a person to die.
, he could have used the team resurrection card to give himself another life. Obviously, the accident happened so suddenly that Xiao Lou had no time to activate the resurrection card."
He paused, glanced at the teammates around him, and said: "What is certain now is that, first, the hunter who killed Xiao Lou had a powerful card in his hand that could kill people instantly; second,
The hunter didn't know what method he used to approach Xiao Lou and kill him without him noticing or being alert."
Unaware and unsuspecting, the two words have completely different meanings.
Lu Jiuchuan understood it quickly.
If it was "unaware", the opponent may have used a card such as "Invisibility" to get close to Xiao Lou. And if Xiao Lou was "unsuspecting" and made the move, then the most likely reason is...the opponent pretended to be
He became a very trusted teammate of Xiao Lou.
Lu Jiuchuan suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Qiao with a very sharp look. But Liu Qiao did not show any guilt. She took a deep breath, met Lu Jiuchuan's gaze, took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket and said, "This is what I am doing in the maze."
I found the streptomycin. In the mirrored secret room I was in, behind one of the mirrors was the pharmacy of the hospital. I accidentally broke into the pharmacy and found this bottle of medicine. Later, I also got lost. It was Mr. Shao’s team.
If you don’t believe the one who summoned me to come out, you can go and investigate again.”
The teammates looked at each other.
Liu Qiao paused and choked up and said: "I am also very sad that Professor Xiao was assassinated. I understand everyone's feelings. If you doubt me, you can leave me alone in the desert, or simply kill me and let others
I’ll go to the Nightmare Chamber to find him!”
Qu Wanyue looked at her trembling shoulders, her heart softened, and she said softly: "Xiaoqiao, how could we abandon you? However, Professor Xiao, Captain Yu and Ye Qi were assassinated one after another, and it was difficult for everyone to accept it. You
Of course we are very happy to be able to survive, but as you are the only one who survived, it is normal for everyone to be confused, so don’t mind..."
Liu Qiao nodded: "I know, I don't blame everyone, but I really don't know what happened in the maze. I don't know if this bottle of streptomycin is real or fake. Brother Longsen's condition is getting worse and worse. He needs to
Don’t you try to save him?”
Qu Wanyue looked at Shao Qingge and Jiu Ge with questioning eyes.
Lu Jiuchuan frowned and remained silent.
Shao Qingge, on the other hand, said calmly: "Let's save Long Sen first. There is still half time to clear the level, and we can't have fewer people. Although Xiao Lou and the others have been plotted, I believe they will be able to come back from the nightmare chamber."
Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other, and the latter shook his head slightly. Lu Jiuchuan did not continue to target Liu Qiao, turned his head and whispered: "The nightmare chamber of the two kings must be more difficult than what we encountered before.
