Ye Qi sat next to Xiao Lou and briefly explained what happened: "At that time, Professor Xiao asked me to walk out counterclockwise. I turned around counterclockwise. When I returned to the corridor, I saw Professor Xiao lying on the ground with his chest full of pain.
It was blood. I was about to ask Liu Qiao what was going on, but Liu Qiao suddenly appeared from behind and pierced my heart with a knife."
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Didn't you have time to activate the team resurrection card?"
Ye Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It happened so suddenly that I didn't even react."
Xiao Lou reached out and patted Ye Qi's shoulder gently to express comfort. The boy's throat felt like it was being rubbed by sandpaper, and his voice was so dry that it was almost impossible to hear clearly. Xiao Lou looked at his chapped lips and said softly:
"Xiaoye, drink some water first."
Ye Qi lowered his head: "My supply card has been used in the Double King's Secret Room."
Yu Hanjiang didn't hesitate anymore, took out his supply card, opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ye Qi.
Ye Qi was obviously extremely thirsty. He unscrewed the bottle cap and started drinking water. However, he also knew that the bottle of water was precious, so he only drank one-third of it and returned the bottle to Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang took the water bottle, opened a "backpack" card, and put all the remaining food and water into his backpack.
Xiao Lou glanced at the full moon in the sky and said worriedly: "The full moon night can only last for 8 hours. Sooner or later, the sky will return to the scene of the sun and the moon shining together. This amount of food and water is simply not enough for the three of us.
We still have to find an oasis to replenish some food. Otherwise, once it breaks, we will be exposed to the scorching sun and attacked by wild beasts, and it will be difficult to escape."
Their physical strength is exhausted, they are severely dehydrated, their throats are so dry that they are almost smoking, and all the Qinggong cards in their hands have been invalidated. If they encounter a pack of wolves again, they will be unable to run and have no strength to fight. Are they just waiting to die?
Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: "I agree to find food, but the oasis is not safe. There are hunters in the oasis of the Double King's Chamber. The oasis of the Nightmare Chamber may be twice as difficult."
Xiao Lou thought about it seriously and said: "I remember that Mr. Shao said at that time that after walking a certain distance to the right, he found a vineyard. We can try to steal some grapes without alerting the hunters.
Find another way to hide."
Yu Hanjiang weighed the pros and cons and finally decided to explore the oasis again.
Although the oasis is dangerous, the desert is not safe either. If there is another more terrible sandstorm, or quicksand, rats, or wolves, they still won't be able to survive. Then they might as well go to the oasis to find some food. At least they will have enough food to have strength.
fighting.
The three of them straightened up, got up and walked forward.
All the Qinggong cards had been invalidated, and they could only advance slowly in the desert on foot. Fortunately, the place where Xiao Lou died was near the oasis. Based on the directions in his memory, he quickly found the area that Shao Qingge had mentioned.
vineyard.
The oasis in the desert is full of life, and the large grape trellis is lush and green, with bunches of crystal clear purple grapes on it. The grapes are big, round, fresh and full, and the three people who have been hungry all day can't help but swallow their saliva.
.
Just as Xiao Lou was about to go in to pick grapes, suddenly, a figure flashed under the grape trees in front of him. Yu Hanjiang had a sharp eye and quick hands. He quickly stretched out his hands and grabbed the opponent's shoulders like an eagle's claws!
The man was turned around, and when Yu Hanjiang faced her pale face, he was stunned: "...Liu Qiao?"
Xiao Lou and Ye Qi were also stunned.
After Ye Qi saw the opponent clearly, he immediately took a step back cautiously and asked with a stern face: "Liu Qiao, why do you want to kill me?"
Liu Qiao looked at him calmly: "I didn't kill you. I was pulled into the mirror maze and then lost consciousness. When I woke up, I saw a prompt saying that I was eliminated. Welcome to the nightmare chamber."
Ye Qi stared at Liu Qiao blankly, not turning around for a while.
Until Xiao Lou explained: "Xiaoye, you can't blame Liu Qiao for this. Liu Qiao was also plotted by a hunter. Then, the hunter used Liu Qiao's [Twin] card to pretend to be her and kill her.
The three of us."
Ye Qi finally came to his senses and scratched his head: "So that's it...there was a hunter ambushing you in the maze?"
Xiao Lou hummed and looked at Liu Qiao worriedly: "Didn't you see who was plotting against you?"
Liu Qiao shook his head: "It was pitch dark in the maze, I didn't see anything."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and felt that something was wrong. He pretended to be calm and said: "Xiaoye, Liu Qiao, Hanjiang and I are on guard outside. You should seize the time to pick more grapes and prepare the supplies before we go on the road.
"
Ye Qi and Liu Qiao nodded, took out two backpacks, and quickly picked grapes.
Xiao Lou winked at Yu Hanjiang, and Yu Hanjiang followed him tacitly. The two walked out of the vineyard side by side. Xiao Lou looked around to make sure there was no one around, then he whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear: "Do you feel
A little strange?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Well, something is not right. If Liu Qiao was assassinated so easily, he would have died countless times."
Xiao Loudao: "That's right. From what I know about Liu Qiao, her personality is very cautious. Although she gave me the witch's antidote in the previous relay session, she also has the substitute card of [Little Red Riding Hood].
She has a habit of putting Little Red Riding Hood in a safe place when she enters a strange environment. If something goes wrong, she will immediately replace Little Red Riding Hood as a substitute. Her Little Red Riding Hood can also be modified like Li Qingzhao's mark. So, in theory,
He said that Liu Qiao is the one with the strongest life-saving ability among our team."
In the relay session not long ago, when Liu Qiao went to the lounge to look for Xiao Lou alone after attending Xiao Lou's class, she secretly hid Little Red Riding Hood in a safe place to prevent Xiao Lou from being a hunter and harming her. She also
He could run away at any time. How could Liu Qiao, who was so cautious when facing Xiao Lou, suddenly die in the maze? And he didn't see anything before he died?
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Is this Liu Qiao also a fake?"
Xiao Lou rubbed his temples helplessly. After being stabbed by Liu Qiao, everyone he saw now felt that the other person might be a hunter in disguise... Only Yu Hanjiang was the person he was most familiar with, and he could be sure that the other person was the real one.
.
But he really couldn't trust Ye Qi and Liu Qiao completely.
He didn't want to be stabbed by a "fake teammate" again, nor did he want to abandon his real teammates in the nightmare chamber. There was no chance to come back in the nightmare chamber. Death would be completely wiped out here, and every step had to be extremely careful. Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang
, said softly: "The secret code we agreed on has been leaked during the relay, but I can ask her some additional questions to determine whether she is true or false."
Yu Hanjiang agreed: "Okay."
At this moment, Ye Qi and Liu Qiao came over with two large bags of grapes. Ye Qi asked: "Professor Xiao, should these be enough?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "That's enough, let's leave quickly to avoid being discovered."
The backpack full of grapes was too heavy for a thin girl to carry. Xiao Lou took the initiative to take the schoolbag from Liu Qiao's back and asked casually: "Liu Qiao, were you in the mirror maze at that time?"
Did you see your sister?"
Liu Qiao was stunned and said in a low mood: "Well, I also saw my parents."
Xiao Loudao: "I remember, your sister's name is Liu Ying, right? Han Jiang and I both met her when we were playing cards at Plum Blossom 2. She has long black hair and a ponytail."
Liu Qiao said: "That's right. It's a pity that my sister hasn't even passed the novice level."
Xiao Lou asked: "What school does your sister go to?"
Liu Qiao: "She studied French at the School of Foreign Languages of Jiangzhou University."
Xiao Lou seemed to be chatting, and Yu Hanjiang didn't know what he was going to say.
Until Xiao Lou suddenly asked: "I remember you said that you always drew the fairy tale card, maybe because your sister often told you various fairy tales when you were a child... You must have a good relationship, right?"
Liu Qiao: "Well, my parents are too busy at work, so I was raised by my sister."
Xiao Lou: "If one day, you have a way to save your sister, but the prerequisite is to kill us, will you do it?"
Ye Qi was suddenly stunned by this question, and Yu Hanjiang also stopped and looked back at Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou's expression was very calm. He looked at Liu Qiao tenderly like an elder brother and said softly: "One side is a close relative whose blood is thicker than water, and the other side is a teammate who fights side by side and has experienced countless life and death together. Between relatives and
How do you choose between teammates?"
Liu Qiao said nothing.
Her face suddenly turned extremely pale. The next moment, she suddenly picked up a knife and stabbed Xiao Lou in the chest again!
Her movements were extremely fast, as fast as lightning.
But Yu Hanjiang was already on guard. Before the blade touched Xiao Lou's body, Yu Hanjiang's hand suddenly grabbed her wrist and twisted it outwards - Xiao Lou heard the clicking sound of bones being dislocated, and Liu Qiao was twisted by Yu Hanjiang.
Her wrist was dislocated, and the dagger in her hand slipped to the sand and instantly turned into a ball of light. Then, she also disappeared out of thin air in front of Xiao Lou.
Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: "Did she really attack us to save her sister? Did she join the hunter camp?"
Xiao Lou shook his head gently: "I don't believe she would do this."
Ye Qi said: "But Professor Xiao, she has already attacked you just now!"
Xiao Lou looked at Ye Qi: "Don't you feel contradictory? If she really plotted against us in the maze and killed three of us in a row to save her sister, then why would she still appear here? She shouldn't do it next
Are you going to continue to lurk around your teammates and kill everyone like Ninth Brother and Mr. Shao? If she joins the hunter camp, who will plot against her and eliminate her into the nightmare chamber?"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Lou's words made Yu Hanjiang also realize that something was wrong - if Liu Qiao was a real teammate, it would be reasonable to be plotted to come to the Nightmare Chamber. But if Liu Qiao was the one who plotted against them, then how could Liu Qiao appear in the Nightmare Chamber? This is true.
Inconsistent.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "There are too many strange things. Liu Qiao just now may be a fake. Let's leave here first."
***
The Secret Room of the Two Kings, night.
Long Sen's condition became more and more serious. Not only was his whole body covered with bruises caused by bleeding, he also had a high fever and his forehead was so hot that it could almost boil an egg. Qu Wanyue touched his forehead, anxious, gritted her teeth and said:
"If we don't use medicine anymore, Long Sen won't be able to hold on anymore."
Shao Qingge said: "Mr. Tang, look at this bottle of medicine."
Tang Ci took the medicine bottle he handed over, observed it carefully for a moment, and said: "There is no problem with the bottle. It has not been opened. The medicine inside should not have been replaced." He raised his eyes and looked at Liu Qiao: "Xiao Liu
, are you sure you found this in a pharmacy?”
Liu Qiao nodded: "Well, that pharmacy is very similar to the common pharmacies on the street. I found streptomycin on a row of shelves dedicated to antibiotics, and I only took one bottle."
At this moment, Long Sen suddenly began to twitch all over his body. This was obviously a muscle spasm caused by the aggravation of his condition. The man's lips even turned a scary black-purple color.
The teammates all turned around and looked at Long Sen worriedly. Qu Wanyue sat on the sand, holding the dying man in her arms, and said with red eyes: "Give him medicine, if he can't survive, I will go to the nightmare room."
Stay with him."
Seeing her resolute look, Tang Ci had no choice but to say: "Streptomycin needs intramuscular injection, let me do it." He summoned the treatment robot, put streptomycin into the syringe, and injected it into Long Sen according to the prescribed dosage.
The medicine will not take effect so quickly. Shao Qingge glanced at Long Sen, who was still unconscious, and then looked at Tang Ci, and whispered: "A wedding is being held in Oasis Town. There is no one here now, but once the wedding is over, we will soon
will be discovered. Mr. Tang, let me leave the contract to you for safekeeping first. You and Brother Jiu will take everyone away from the town. I still have a few hours to transform. Taking advantage of this time, I want to go to the small town.
Check it out."
Lu Jiuchuan immediately objected: "What if you encounter a hunter while investigating alone? No, it's too dangerous."
Tang Ci took the initiative to take the contract from Shao Qingge and said calmly: "Mr. Shao is now the insect king. Ordinary swords and guns can't hurt him at all. I agree with Mr. Shao. The existence of hunters is very important to us."
It is always a threat. Just escaping is useless. It is best to find out how many predators there are in this town so that we can deal with them in advance."
Lu Jiuchuan frowned and wanted to speak, but Tang Ci suddenly looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I believe Mr. Shao, he is the only one who can go to the oasis to investigate the situation now."
Lu Jiuchuan could only nod helplessly: "Okay, Mr. Shao, please pay attention to your safety."
Chu Huaying said: "Do you want me to go with you?"
Shao Qingge shook his head and handed the backpack full of grapes to Lu Jiuchuan: "It's better for me to go. I can get into the sand without being discovered, and my invisibility cloak has never been used. It's more difficult to move alone."
It’s easier to get away. I’ll put on a voice headset and keep in touch with everyone.”
Tang Ci walked over and patted his shoulder gently: "Be careful, I don't want to change the captain again."
The two looked at each other, and Shao Qingge nodded cautiously.
Immediately afterwards, he simply turned around, got into the sand, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The Zerg are not afraid of sand and are not worried about suffocation. Shao Qingge can sneak into the sand for reconnaissance, which is his biggest advantage. Lu Jiuchuan looked at the direction in which he disappeared, his brows frowning more and more.
There were only 8 people left in the team of 12 people, and everyone looked solemn.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
Tang Ci opened the contract and took a look at it, then closed the team contract, put it into his card bag, and said calmly: "Let's go, let's find a safe place first, and then we will decide what to do after Mr. Shao returns from the investigation."
A one-step plan.”
Although Lu Jiuchuan was confused, since Tang Ci accepted Shao Qingge's decision to leave the team alone, he must have his own thoughts. So he stopped talking and followed Tang Ci in silence.
***
Deep in the oasis town, at the northernmost edge, there is an unoccupied house.
This family seems to have suffered some accident. There are several big holes in the roof and only half of the wall is left. It looks like a ruin. No one has cleaned the yard at all. There are some tenacious desert green plants growing there, which makes it look extremely messy.
.
Suddenly, a man with red eyes emerged from the sand in the middle of the yard.
It was Shao Qingge who left alone!
He stood in the open space and quickly glanced around. After confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "Come out."
A young man appeared in front of him.
The other party's face was pale, with obvious blood stains on the left side of his chest, and a lot of blood on his face. His hair and clothes were dyed the color of yellow sand, and he looked miserable. But his eyes were black and clear.
, it’s still the same as in the memory.
Shao Qingge took a step forward, stretched out his arms, and hugged Ye Qi forcefully into his arms.
Ye Qi's whole body was trembling. Death had been so close to him, and the wound on his chest stung. It was like the coldness of a dagger piercing his chest, which stayed there forever.
Shao Qingge's hug was very warm. Being held tightly by the man, Ye Qi's cold heart finally regained some warmth. He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I was attacked in the maze. I pretended to be dead before escaping."
After a calamity..."
Shao Qingge tightened his arms, and his hoarse voice revealed a hint of tenderness: "I know, when I opened the team contract, I saw that your name was still there, but the team resurrection card disappeared. I guessed at that time that it was very possible
It was you who used the resurrection card."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have been eliminated. Although Long Sen is dying, there is still breath in his nose. Everyone else is fine. Who used the resurrection card? It was obviously Ye Qi who did not appear during the assembly.
Shao Qingge was also very nervous at the time, but he still managed to stay calm and told his teammates, "Ye Qi is no longer here."
——This is a lie, a lie that only he and Ye Qi know.
Shao Qingge became the new captain. Only he can read the contract. Ye Qi's name is still there, but the resurrection card has disappeared. Only Shao Qingge knows this information. But he did not tell the truth, but told everyone Ye Qi
Chess is dead.
The reason for doing this is just to protect Ye Qi.
Only dead people are the safest. Hunters will not go around looking for trouble from a "dead person".
Ever since the news that Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were eliminated appeared in the floating box, Shao Qingge knew that the difficulty of the double king's secret room they faced this time was beyond imagination. Although he usually likes to win by lying down, but now that he has taken over the new captain's
seat, his IQ must be online!
Ye Qi faked his death, which was a secret move on his part.
Let the hunters believe that Ye Qi is dead, so that Ye Qi can do more things in secret.
In fact, when Shao Qingge used the mark to summon his teammates, Ye Qi also came to gather, but Ye Qi was hiding aside with an invisibility cloak, and his teammates did not see him.
He established a telepathic connection with Shao Qingge, and then asked Shao Qingge to come to the ruins in the northernmost part of the town to meet up.
Shao Qingge handed the contract to Tang Ci, because Tang Ci was the smartest among the remaining people. Obviously, Tang Ci also sensed something was wrong and cooperated with Shao Qingge in the play. As long as Tang Ci opened the contract
Once you take a look, you will understand what Shao Qingge means.
Shao Qingge stretched out his hand, gently rubbed Xiaoye's hair, and said: "As long as you are alive, I don't want you to go to the nightmare chamber again. Instead of joining your teammates, you asked me to come here to meet you secretly.
What's your plan?"
Ye Qi said: "There must be an insider in our team. The hunter has been controlling our movements. I want to find out secretly. Liu Qiao suddenly attacked Professor Xiao in the maze. This is too strange."
Shao Qingge nodded: "Okay, I will cooperate with you."
****
[Chapter 565, unexpected discovery]
Perhaps because of the connection, Shao Qingge did not doubt Ye Qi's statement at all, and fully trusted Ye Qi's decision. This made Ye Qi relax. He asked in his mind: "What's Liu Qiao's name?"
Is it still in the contract?"
Shao Qingge said: "Yes. I just saw that only the names of Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang disappeared."
Ye Qi was silent for a moment and then said: "At first, I thought that Liu Qiao's sudden attack on me and Professor Xiao was a betrayal of us. I was shocked and angry at the time. But when I calm down and think about it, Liu Qiao is not that kind of person.
, it is very possible that the Liu Qiao who attacked us is fake. The real Liu Qiao is still alive, but has lost consciousness, so he cannot accept the call of the team."
Shao Qingge asked: "Could something go wrong when the sandstorm swept Liu Qiao and Lao Mo away?"
Ye Qi thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be possible, right? I remember that Lao Mo and Liu Qiao have never been separated."
Shao Qingge stopped and looked at Ye Qi: "They were not separated, they were not separated after waking up, but don't forget, they were all comatose for a period of time. Was Liu Qiao replaced during Lao Mo's coma?
He doesn’t know it himself.”
Ye Qi nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense. We have cards like [Twin] and [Mask] that can disguise ourselves as others, and the Hunters must also have them. There may be more than one mole in the team, and we have to find the real one as soon as possible.
Where is Liu Qiao?"
The two looked at each other, Shao Qingge took out the card pack, pulled out two cards [Invisibility Cloak] and [Supply Card] and handed them to him: "You should keep these two cards first, just in case."
Ye Qi was not polite, took the card and said: "I will follow you invisibly later. You are lurking in the sand. Let's go to the wedding venue first. Most people in the town will go to the wedding, maybe
We can find some clues."
After the agreement, Shao Qingge simply got into the sand, and Ye Qi used the invisibility card to follow him. The two of them had a close connection, so they were not afraid of getting separated. Every time they walked around a corner, Ye Qi would prompt him.
direction.
Within a moment, they arrived at the bonfire party.
The wedding has come to an end. The bride and groom are dancing surrounded by everyone. Those who are tired of dancing go to the flowing mats around to eat. The tables are filled with fruits, and the aroma of barbecue is wafting in the air.
The bonfire party in the desert oasis was extremely lively. Ye Qi glanced at the scene and said in his mind: "There are at least thousands of residents in this oasis town. Who are the aboriginal people and who are the hunters mixed in? It's very difficult
It’s hard to tell the difference.”
Shao Qingge said in his mind: "You check around, I will go to the center of their dancing to have a look."
The two were temporarily separated, with Ye Qi investigating the outer circle and Shao Qingge sneaking into the inner circle.
There were countless people dancing around the bonfire on three levels inside and three outside. Moreover, they wore very similar clothes. The women wore long skirts and veils, while the men were shirtless.
People danced to the music and drums, and laughed endlessly.
It is indeed extremely difficult to find clues in such an environment.
Ye Qi walked around, and most of the people outside were eating. Ye Qi, who was already very hungry, resisted the urge to grab something to eat, and glanced calmly at the faces of these people, trying to see if they were deliberately
goal.
Suddenly, he saw a person in the corner who seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Ye Qi could not help but be stunned. He stopped and took a closer look - the face was indeed very familiar, so familiar that Ye Qi gritted his teeth!
The boy looked to be in his early twenties. He was wearing strange clothes like the men in the desert oasis. He had bare arms and was sitting next to the flowing water mat eating. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the people around him like a poisonous snake.
Eating grapes and spitting the grape skins on the sand, it looks very casual and leisurely.
A chill ran down Ye Qi's spine, and he immediately said to Shao Qingge in his mind: "I saw an acquaintance, the senior from the Conservatory of Music, Cheng Ziyang!"
Shao Qingge was stunned, frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
Ye Qi nodded vigorously: "This bastard, I will never admit his mistake!"
Everyone has been through the level all the way to this point, and they have met so many murderers that it is difficult to count. Ye Qi is not impressed by everyone, but he will never forget Cheng Ziyang.
Because it was this bastard senior who caused Ye Qi to enter the nightmare chamber!
In the 3 Spades Financial Crisis Secret Room, Ye Qi was in a group with him. Cheng Ziyang stole supplies at a critical moment, causing Ye Qi to end up at the construction site. He was eventually shot to death by the escaped prisoners and was eliminated and half-eaten in the Nightmare Secret Room.
months of leaves.
Later, when we reunited in the Zerg secret room at 8 of Spades, this man did another disgusting thing!
I remember that at that time, Xiao Lou led his teammates and the college student team from the Yuanfang Association to sneak into the secret passage. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi were in charge of the rear. At the end, there were also the captain of the college student team Cheng Ziyang and the girl Xue Qing. Among them,
Xue Qing, a girl from the Department of Chemistry, has a card [Ethanol] that can produce unlimited amounts of alcohol.
The Zerg suddenly came over like a tide, and two Zerg attacked them from the roof of the warehouse!
The situation was urgent at that time. In order to save himself, Cheng Ziyang did not hesitate to pull the girl Xue Qing in front of him, causing Xue Qing to be infected. This selfish approach of "a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist" made Ye Qi
Shocked!
It was precisely because Ye Qi was distracted by the shock that he did not notice the Zerg approaching behind him. Shao Qingge hugged Ye Qi at the critical moment and protected Ye Qi in his arms, so that he was also bitten and infected by the Zerg.
That scene often appeared in Ye Qi's dreams. Shao Qingge rescued him, but Cheng Ziyang pulled his teammates to block the knife. He would never forget it.
The final outcome of Xue Qing and Cheng Ziyang also left a deep impression on Ye Qi - after Xue Qing knew that she was infected, she said that she did not want to become a puppet of the bug, so she threw the card pack to Ye Qi, stepped on the skateboard with both feet, and looked forward to death.
The earth rushed into the fire!
Although Shao Qingge was infected at the time, he was still conscious. He had long known that Cheng Ziyang had evil intentions, and Cheng Ziyang had harmed Ye Qi before, so he took the opportunity to use Xiao Lou's hair dryer to blow Cheng Ziyang violently.
At the fire scene, let him be buried with Xue Qing.
Cheng Ziyang's screams seemed to still echo in his ears.
Now, seeing this familiar and annoying face again, Ye Qi couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly: "He was in the 8 spades secret room. Wasn't he thrown to the fire by you and burned to death? How could he be here?
!”
Shao Qingge was also confused: "He should be dead. He was the captain of the college student team. After his death, the contract changed to a new captain. I remember it was a girl named Gao." At this point, Shao Qingge
Suddenly paused, "Wait a minute, if you die in the ordinary secret room, there is still another chance to go to the nightmare secret room..."
Ye Qi couldn't believe it: "Did he survive the nightmare chamber?"
At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the veil on one of the girls dancing in the crowd was suddenly blown off by the wind. She lowered her head and picked it up. The moment she lowered her head, Shao Qingge saw her face clearly.
Face.
A female college student who is unforgettable and looks forward to death.
Shao Qingge said in his mind: "Xiaoye, I also saw a person."
Ye Qi said warily: "Who?"
Shao Qingge: "The one who rushed into the fire on skateboard shoes was Xue Qing."
Ye Qi: “…………”
8 of Spades, Zerg Secret Room, the challengers suffered heavy casualties. After Xue Qing of the college student team died, she threw the card pack to Ye Qi and asked Ye Qi to pass it on to her teammates. Her teammates later gave Xiao Lou the alcohol-making equipment to thank Xiao Lou for bringing him through the level.
The card was given to Xiao Lou.
Now, Xue Qing, who took the initiative to rush into the fire, and Cheng Ziyang, who was thrown into the sea of fire by Shao Qingge - two people who should have been burned to ashes, actually appeared in the secret room of the two kings. What does this mean?
Is it an illusion? Or have they stubbornly emerged from the Zerg's nightmare chamber?
Or maybe they have become... hunters?!
Ye Qi hurriedly said: "Mr. Shao, look around again to see if there are any acquaintances? I have a terrible guess, but I can't be sure yet..."
Shao Qingge said: "Okay, be careful and don't get close to Cheng Ziyang first."
Ye Qi said simply: "I understand, I won't provoke him until the matter is clarified."
****
At the same time, Tang Ci calmly put away the contract and finally understood what Mr. Shao meant.
He was not in a hurry to tell Lu Jiuchuan the news. After all, Brother Jiu was not good at acting, and the reason why Mr. Shao left the team alone to meet Ye Qi must have had extra plans.
What he has to do now is to stabilize his teammates and wait for news from Shao Qingge.
The grapes in the vineyard have matured, and the plump grapes are mouth-watering. Tang Ci asked his teammates to take out their backpacks, take the opportunity to pick more, and then led everyone to the opposite direction of the oasis.
The desert was very cold at night. After everyone walked several kilometers away from the oasis, Tang Ci asked his teammates to set up tents and said: "These grapes are grown by the residents of the oasis. Some people also eat them at the bonfire party. They should not be poisonous. Everyone
Take a rest first and eat some grapes to replenish your strength."
When everyone heard this, they felt happy, opened their backpacks and ate grapes.
The grapes grown in the desert are so big and sweet that when you take a bite, the sweet juice almost overflows from your mouth. After a whole day of running for their lives, everyone is tired and hungry, and these grapes are like a help in the snow.
Everyone sat on the ground and ate grapes in silence.
Qu Wanyue ate a bunch of grapes and then turned back to take care of Long Sen. She bit the grapes and dripped the juice onto Long Sen's lips. The man's lips were dry and blue, and there were several cracks. He was probably too thirsty.
, Long Sen actually opened his mouth and licked the grape juice from his lips. Qu Wanyue was so happy that she leaned over and asked, "Long Sen, can you hear me?"
Long Sen closed his eyes tightly and did not react.
Tang Ci came over and asked the treatment robot to check it carefully. Long Sen's condition was still very poor and his consciousness was not very clear. Swallowing grape juice just now was just the body's instinctive reaction. Tang Ci warned: "Long Sen will wake up in a while.
But come here, take good care of him and minimize physical contact. Professor Xiao said that this disease is contagious."
Qu Wanyue nodded: "I know, thank you."
In this situation, everyone did not abandon Long Sen, and she was already very grateful.
Tang Ci walked back to Lu Jiuchuan, looked at everyone and said, "Let's all go back to the tents to rest and recuperate our spirits. After dawn, there may be many dangers waiting for us."
Everyone returned to their tents. Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan entered the same two-person tent. Just as Lu Jiuchuan was about to speak, Tang Ci suddenly grabbed his hand and wrote two words on his palm.
Insider.
Lu Jiuchuan was stunned and quickly wrote on his palm: "Liu Qiao?"
Tang Ci frowned: "Maybe there is more than one. If my guess is correct, after the night is quiet, the inner ghost will notify the hunters of our exact location. There will definitely be a fierce battle tonight. This is why I ask everyone to replenish their physical strength as soon as possible.
reason."
Lu Jiuchuan immediately took out the Ice Sword and placed it beside his pillow, and said with a sullen face: "There are only 8 of us now. Among them, Liu Qiao's identity is problematic, Long Sen, and Qu Wanyue have almost no fighting power, and there are only 5 left who can fight.
If there is one more mole..."
Tang Ci looked serious: "So, we have to prepare for the worst."
Lu Jiuchuan's eyes became deeper and deeper. He was about to speak when suddenly, Tang Ci squeezed his hand tightly and pointed outside the tent. Lu Jiuchuan looked out through the gap in the tent. Through the moonlight above his head, he could see clearly
Suddenly, he saw countless black shadows appearing on the sand.
Those dark shadows appeared silently, and actually surrounded their tent in an instant!
Tang Ci wrote in his hand: "It's teleportation."
The two of them held their breath at the same time, and then they heard a deep voice from outside: "Action."
A raging fire suddenly ignited around the tent. For a moment, the fire shot into the sky, forming a natural wall of fire, blocking their way. At the same time, countless hunters wearing silver masks rushed towards the tent like the wind!
Lu Jiuchuan decisively picked up the sharp sword in his hand, and the blade suddenly came out. The person who came to the tent and wanted to kill him was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture by him. At the same time, he shouted loudly in the earphone: "Everyone, be careful!"
Lu Jiuchuan rushed out of the tent with a sharp sword, and Tang Ci hurriedly summoned a mechanical spider to follow him.
A dozen mechanical spiders crawled quickly into the crowd of hunters, their sharp legs flying around like huge mechanical weapons. But today, the hunters surrounding them were not rookies. Each of these people had extraordinary skills and mechanical skills.
The spider attacked the crowd for a long time, but it didn't hurt anyone.
Tang Ci's original intention was not to rely on spiders to kill people, he just wanted to buy time for Ninth Brother.
Spiders cannot hurt people, but they can push back some predators and slow down their offensive.
Sure enough, some hunters took into account the ferocious attack of the mechanical spider and did not dare to step forward for the time being. The pressure around Lu Jiuchuan suddenly eased a lot. At the same time, Chu Huaying also circled behind the hunters like a gust of wind, the dagger in his hand moving quickly and swiftly.
Stab a hunter hard in the back!
Hua Ying's detour made the man in charge of the Hunters look cold. He whispered to the people around him: "You guys, go deal with Chu Huaying and Lu Jiuchuan, and the rest will take care of the others!"
At this time, in the corner of the desert.
Qu Wanyue was extremely anxious. Just now, she didn't want Long Sen's disease to be transmitted to others, so she took Long Sen to a place farther away, keeping a distance of about 100 meters from her teammates. For this reason, the Hunter released
The ring of fire did not encircle them, and her and Long Sen's current location was still safe.
The moment the hunter appeared, Qu Wanyue immediately covered herself with an invisibility cloak, and used the last remaining energy of the chameleon card to bury Long Sen in the nearby sand. At least this would ensure that Long Sen merged with the environment.
Without being discovered.
She wanted to go up and help, but firstly, Long Sen was unconscious and needed her care, and secondly, she had no attack cards, so running over rashly would only be a disservice. She had no choice but to stay put for the time being, staring anxiously at the ring of fire, looking for opportunities to help.
.
At this moment, two people suddenly walked over not far away.
The girl's face was extremely pale under the firelight, but her eyes were calm - it was Liu Qiao.
Walking beside her was a middle-aged man, tall and slender. He wore a silver mask, smiled and patted Liu Qiao on the shoulder, saying: "You did a good job. If this mission can be completed successfully, you will be
First achievement."
Liu Qiao asked softly: "Do we really have to kill them all?"
Qu Wanyue's heart tightened and she immediately raised her ears to listen carefully.
The man said calmly: "Master has long said that as long as we complete the task of sniping the challenger in the Double King's Secret Room, we will have the opportunity to live forever in the card world. Don't you want to reunite with your sister?"
Liu Qiao lowered his head: "Can I see her?"
The man said: "Well, Tang Ci and Lu Jiuchuan will definitely doubt you. You have done what you should do. Just leave the rest to us. Go ahead, I will hide her in a safe place."
Liu Qiao turned around and left, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Qu Wanyue's heart was shaken. Although she felt something was wrong with Liu Qiao, she didn't expect that these hunters were actually brought here by Liu Qiao! She held her breath and was thinking about how to notify her teammates, but the next moment, in the hands of the man,
Suddenly a beam of white light flashed.
Under the rays of light, Qu Wanyue's invisibility cloak actually lost its effect.
The man looked at Qu Wanyue with a smile: "Do you think a low-level card like Invisibility Cloak can always be used?"
A black crystal ball appeared in his hand. Qu Wanyue immediately activated the long jump card and wanted to turn around and escape. However, she only ran less than ten meters before the black mist quickly caught up with her like a beast.
Swept through her whole body!
Qu Wanyue's body was actually torn into pieces by the black mist.
The man looked at the broken pieces on the ground coldly and looked around. As far as he could see, there was an endless desert. He did not see Long Sen. He frowned, turned around and walked towards the fire scene, whispering to the person in charge.
He whispered in his ear: "Qu Wanyue was killed by me, but Long Sen was not found."
The other party nodded and waved his hand behind him: "Inform the people in Oasis to kill Shao Qingge first!"

[Chapter 566, The terrible truth]
Chu Huaying's spider dagger and the sword in Lu Jiuchuan's hands were both extremely fast. Only in this way could they barely cope with the siege of the hunters.
Gui Yuanzhang used the wind power of his brush to protect Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Qu Wanyue and Long Sen disappeared.
Tang Ci was extremely worried. Most of his mechanical spiders had been dismantled by the hunters. As a last resort, Tang Ci decisively summoned the White Wolf King, which was the card given to him by Brother Ninth at that time.
A pure white wolf king appeared next to Tang Ci.
The White Wolf King howls at night, and the loud sound resounds through the night sky, causing targets within a range of 1,000 meters to immediately fall into a state of fear after hearing the sound, making them unable to move for 3 minutes. At the same time, the White Wolf King can summon up to 50 wolves to join him.
During combat, the little wolf automatically pursues and bites hostile targets within range.
Lu Jiuchuan gave this card to Tang Ci at that time because Tang Ci had too few attack cards, so he could use it to save his life at critical moments. Now that Tang Ci plays this card, it can only protect everyone for 3 minutes.
Moreover, the White Wolf King's fear only prevents others from moving, but does not prohibit others from using cards.
Fortunately, the 50 wolves followed Tang Ci's orders and pounced ferociously on the hunters. The hunters had to deal with the wolves and could not be distracted from attacking them. Upon seeing this, Lu Jiuchuan and Chu Huaying immediately retreated to Tang Ci.
.
Chu Huaying said coldly: "There are 15 people on the other side, three times as many as us. I also saw a masked man holding a crystal ball in his hand. I don't know if it was the guy who controlled the crystal ball that I saw in the K room before.
"
Tang Ci frowned: "5 versus 20, we have no chance of winning."
The faces of his teammates became increasingly ugly, and Lao Mo murmured in a low voice: "The number of hunters is several times ours every time. This is not fair at all...could it be that the gatekeepers didn't want to let us in at all?"
Leave this world?"
No one said anything, because what Lao Mo said might indeed be true.
Assuming that the two kings don't want them to pass the level at all, they really have no choice. No matter how strong they are, they can't compare to the rule makers of this world. To put it bluntly, if the card world is a game of chess, they are just tiny pawns.
Three minutes passed quickly, and they were surrounded by a wall of fire, just like being caught in a urn. The little wolves summoned by Tang Ci were quickly killed, and the hunters surrounded everyone again.
Tang Ci stared forward calmly. Suddenly, he met the eyes of the person holding the crystal ball in the crowd. Those familiar eyes made Lu Jiuchuan slightly stunned. The next moment, the other person suddenly raised his hand——
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky and struck directly at the location of several people!
Tang Ci reacted very quickly. Almost as soon as he met the man's eyes, he suddenly gathered all the drones. The densely packed drones seemed to form a metal barrier above his head.
Lightning struck and all the drones were instantly burned to ashes.
Chu Huaying and Gui Yuanzhang's expressions changed drastically, and Lu Jiuchuan was even more jealous. He rushed into the crowd like the wind, picked off the silver mask on the man's face with a sword, and shouted in disbelief: "Xu,
Mu, of course, it’s you!”
Lao Mo looked confused, but Ninth Brother, Tang Ci, Hua Ying and Gui Lao all looked so ugly. He quickly realized that this person might be someone Ninth Brother and the others knew before?
The next moment, Chu Huaying's cold voice explained to Lao Mo: "Our old captain, it turns out that you are not dead, and you have joined the hunter camp! No wonder you can accurately grasp the information about all of us."
Tang Ci said with a pale face: "You have the password for the intelligence agency's intranet... I should have thought it was you! However, after coming out of the nightmare room, I never found your information. I thought you died in Meihua
In j’s nightmare chamber.”
Xu Muran smiled and said, "It's not just me."
He narrowed his eyes and looked behind Lu Jiuchuan: "Lao Gui, why don't you take action?"
****
At the same time.
Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Ye Qi left the oasis and found an open space to sit down and rest.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and whispered: "Why did you suddenly ask about Liu Qiao's sister just now? I remember that Mr. Tang conducted a detailed investigation through the Intelligence Bureau at that time, and Liu Ying's name did not appear in the main city. The only explanation is
It’s just that she didn’t make it out of the Novice Village alive and was eliminated from the game in the Novice Village.”
Xiao Lou shook his head: "This is not the only explanation, there is another possibility."
He looked into Yu Hanjiang's eyes and said word for word: "Just because Tang Ci couldn't find Liu Ying's information, it doesn't mean she must be dead. Maybe she survived, but joined the hunter camp."
Yu Hanjiang: “…………”
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yu Hanjiang felt a chill from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
He frowned and said: "That's what you call 'the sun and the moon shine together'. The two camps have coexisted from the beginning. Maybe Liu Ying chose the hunter camp when she had a choice?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "Liu Qiao suddenly disappeared in the maze and attacked me when he reappeared. This was so strange. She saw her sister in the mirror at that time, and Ye Qi and I also saw our relatives. At first, I thought that
It's an illusion. But if you think about it carefully, my relatives and Ye Qi's relatives have never been to the card world, so appearing in the card world must be an illusion. But Liu Qiao's sister was in a car accident with her and came to the card world.
…”
Yu Hanjiang reasoned along Xiao Lou's train of thought: "In other words, what Liu Qiao saw at that time was probably not an illusion, but the real sister?"
Xiao Loudao: "Assuming that Liu Ying is still alive and has become a hunter, she can ambush in the maze and lure Liu Qiao away. Liu Qiao has always wanted to find his sister. After meeting his sister, if her sister tells her something, only two people can
The secret she knew confirmed her identity, but she might not have thought that her sister was actually a hunter."
Yu Hanjiang continued: "Then, Liu Ying took advantage of Liu Qiao's relaxation of vigilance, controlled Liu Qiao, used the twin cards to pretend to be Liu Qiao, and then returned to the corridor to attack us?"
The two looked at each other and felt that this speculation was very reasonable.
Xiao Lou didn't think Liu Qiao would kill them for her sister. Liu Qiao had always been a very calm person. We had fought side by side for so long and developed a family-like relationship. Anyone asked her to kill Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang.
, she will be vigilant instead of taking action rashly.
Therefore, it is more likely that Liu Qiao was controlled by her sister, and then her sister pretended to be her and attacked Xiao Lou's team.
After thinking about this clearly, Xiao Lou's mind gradually became clearer.
At this moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Xiao Lou's field of vision.
It’s Qu Wanyue!
She is a dancer, has a good figure, and has a very elegant walking posture. Even though her clothes were stained by yellow sand and could not see the color clearly, Xiao Lou recognized her at a glance.
However, Xiao Lou was not sure whether this Qu Wanyue was a teammate because of Liu Qiao's previous experience with him.
After Qu Wanyue saw the three of them, surprise flashed in her eyes. She walked over quickly and said: "Professor Xiao, Captain Yu, Ye Qi! I thought I was dead this time, but the Nightmare Chamber can actually join you?"
Her reaction seemed normal. Xiao Lou said warmly: "Teacher Qu, why are you here?"
Qu Wanyue said: "That Liu Qiao is fake. Her teleportation attracted more than a dozen hunters. We were besieged by the hunters. I heard her say..."
Before she finished speaking, a dagger suddenly stabbed her chest from behind!
Qu Wanyue noticed the sound in her ears and turned around in shock - she saw blood splattering in front of her eyes, and Yu Hanjiang stretched out his hand like lightning. Qu Wanyue didn't even see his movements clearly, but she saw that Yu Hanjiang had easily broken the opponent's hand.
With his wrist, he grabbed the dagger from the opponent's hand and stabbed it through the opponent's palm with his backhand.
This action was done in one go, truly worthy of Captain Yu.
And the person who attacked her with a dagger was actually Ye Qi who had been standing next to her!
After Ye Qi was exposed, just like Liu Qiao just now, he turned into a beam of light and disappeared.
Xiao Lou's pupils suddenly tightened, and he rushed to Yu Hanjiang's side: "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yu Hanjiang looked at his empty palms and said solemnly: "Liu Qiao failed to attack you just now. The dagger and himself disappeared quickly, and the same happened to Ye Qi. Are the two of them hunters or phantoms?
"
Xiao Lou frowned and couldn't tell the difference for a moment. Even with Qu Wanyue in front of him, he couldn't be sure whether it was true or false.
Yu Hanjiang turned to look at Qu Wanyue: "Tell me, what did you hear then?"
Qu Wanyue took a deep breath, calmed down, and briefly recounted what she heard to Xiao Lou: "I heard Liu Qiao talking to the man with the crystal ball in his hand. The two mentioned that first, the master asked them to kill us all.
, you can get the chance to live forever in the card world; secondly, don’t you want to reunite with your sister? Then, she said she wanted to see her sister, and turned around and left."
Her mind couldn't keep up for a while, and she asked: "Who is the sister?"
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and Yu Hanjiang said solemnly: "It seems that our speculation is completely correct."
He looked at Qu Wanyue and said: "The sister she mentioned is Liu Qiao. The Liu Qiao you saw is actually Liu Qiao's biological sister, Liu Ying. She joined the hunter camp and pretended to be Liu Qiao to attack us.
What you heard confirms our speculation."
Qu Wanyue looked shocked. Xiao Lou sighed softly and whispered: "I remember when I met Liu Ying in Plum Blossom 2, she had a nervous look in her eyes. She seemed gentle and timid, which was different from Liu Qiao's calmness.
, decisiveness is completely different. She teamed up with another girl to go to the next level. With their strength, it would be difficult to pass the subsequent 3 of Spades and 3 of Hearts."
Yu Hanjiang said: "So, she was probably eliminated from the Nightmare Chamber in the 3 of Spades or 3 of Hearts. Then, in the Nightmare Chamber, she chose to join the hunter camp."
Xiao Lou nodded, looked at Yu Hanjiang and Qu Wanyue, and said word by word: "All hunters are actually eliminated challengers - this is the truth that has confused us for a long time."
