After seeing Gui Yuanzhang's letter, Lu Jiuchuan's face immediately became solemn. He frowned and read the letter three times from beginning to end. The words on the letter were indeed written by Gui Lao himself - could it be that Gui Lao became...
Hunter, for undercover?
Just as he was thinking carefully, the tragic howling of wolves suddenly came from outside.
Lu Jiuchuan walked to Lao Mo vigilantly: "The wolves outside suddenly howled so fiercely. Did something happen?"
Lao Mo looked nervous: "I don't know, are you planning to launch a general attack on us?"
Lu Jiuchuan clenched the sharp sword in his hand and looked around quickly. Fortunately, Lao Mo came to his senses in a hurry. There were no windows in the model room and the four walls were sealed. He breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the four walls are made of cement. The wolves are temporarily closed."
Can't open."
The sound of running footsteps of a large number of wild wolves could be heard outside, like a mighty army. However, the wolves were running in the opposite direction, and their howls gradually faded away. From being deafening at first, they disappeared completely.
Soon, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Lu Jiuchuan pricked up his ears in confusion and found that the wolves no longer howled. He couldn't help but wonder: "Gone?"
Lao Mo looked confused: "It seems he has left."
The two of them were about to get close to the door and take a look at the peephole when someone suddenly knocked on the door: "Is Lao Mo in there?"
It was Xiao Lou's voice.
Lu Jiuchuan was delighted: "Xiao Lou?"
People outside seemed a little surprised when they heard this voice: "Brother Ninth? Why are you here?"
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Let's meet first and then talk."
Xiao Lou said: "Old Mo, open the door. The wolves have been lured away by us."
Just now, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Qu Wanyue happened to pass by here. The wolves howled wildly after discovering them and surrounded them in an instant. It was impossible for Yu Hanjiang to deal with thousands of wild wolves by himself. Xiao Lou had no choice but to
Simply tie the braised pork to the white silk card and throw it away into the distance with the force of the wind. The wolves were affected by the braised pork skill and quickly chased after it.
Then they discovered a house here, which looked like Lao Mo's model house.
There were no windows in the model room, but Lao Mo left a door for easy escape. The security door was very thick, and ordinary wild animals could not break it open. Lao Mo walked to the door and looked through the peephole. Not only Xiao Lou, but also Yu Hanjiang and Qu
Wan Yue.
Lao Mo said warily: "Professor Xiao, do you often play escape room games, or are you the administrator of the largest escape room forum in Jiangzhou, with the forum ID called Xiaolou, Listen to the Spring Rain All Night?"
Xiao Lou said: "It's not an administrator, it's a moderator. My ID is Xiaolou Tingyu."
Lao Mo breathed a sigh of relief, this Professor Xiao is real!
Lu Jiuchuan suddenly said: "Hanjiang is there too? I remember when you were 7 years old, you were locked up at home to do your homework. You didn't want to do it, so you secretly jumped out of the window to play. As a result, you broke your leg, so I took you there.
's hospital."
Yu Hanjiang: “…………”
Xiao Lou glanced at Yu Hanjiang, as if to say, were you so naughty when you were a child?
Yu Hanjiang knocked on the iron door expressionlessly: "Open the door."
We can’t blame everyone for being suspicious, as “fake teammates” appear in the secret room all the time, making it difficult for people to guard against them.
What we talked about just now were not the secret codes agreed upon in advance, but what everyone mentioned in their daily chats. What Lu Jiuchuan said was a secret that only Yu Hanjiang knew, and it was all correct.
Lu Jiuchuan signaled to open the door, and Lao Mo opened the anti-locking knob with confidence.
When the three of them entered the model room, Lao Mo immediately locked the door. Yu Hanjiang walked up to Brother Jiu and asked in a low voice: "Why were you eliminated? Who did it?"
Lao Mo took the initiative and said, "It's Mr. Gui Lao. We never thought in our wildest dreams that Gui Lao was actually the team's mole!"
Qu Wanyue looked surprised: "What? Isn't the mole placed next to us Liu Qiao's sister? Gui Lao..."
Xiao Lou couldn't digest so much information at the moment and looked at Lu Jiuchuan in confusion.
Lu Jiuchuan didn't explain, and simply handed the letter that Gui Lao left for him to Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked together and looked at each other. Xiao Lou asked: "Brother Ninth, do you believe him?"
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "I hope it's true. I've known Gui Lao for only a year, but he doesn't seem to be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He has lived a long life and has a clear view on many things. And
In reality, I remember that I believe in Buddhism more when I am old. Generally, people who believe in Buddhism will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, right?"
Xiao Lou recalled that Zhou often encountered the Six Paths of Reincarnation at that time, and Gui Lao did understand these better.
Lu Jiuchuan said: "He was very decisive when he killed me. I didn't even come back to my senses. It's possible that this was staged for the other party to see, because Xu Muran, the leader of the Hunters, appeared. This Xu Muran was actually our former
Captain, what a fucking bastard! He died in the nightmare chamber and actually chose to be a hunter!"
Yu Hanjiang quickly tore the letter into pieces and whispered: "Brother, think about it carefully. When you came out of the nightmare chamber of Plum Blossom J and then met three teammates in the main city, was there anything wrong in the process?"
Lu Jiuchuan carefully recalled his experience at that time and said: "In the nightmare secret room of Plum Blossom J, the eliminated people did not meet up. I was alone in a secret room, and so were Tang Ci and the others. After I came out, I first went to the underground factory of our stronghold.
When we arrived at the underground factory, we found Gui Lao waiting for us there, followed closely by Hua Ying and Tang Ci."
Xiao Lou raised a question: "Gui Lao's strength is not the strongest in the team. He was the first to come out of the nightmare chamber. Don't you have any doubts?"
Lu Jiuchuan was stunned and said with a wry smile: "I was seriously injured at that time, Tang Ci also broke his leg, Gui Lao and Hua Ying were also covered in blood, we were too busy with treatment and had no time to consider these details."
Xiao Lou asked sharply: "What about the contract? Didn't you check it?"
Lu Jiuchuan said helplessly: "The contract is with me. I really didn't think of this at the time. When I woke up and checked again, I found that there were only four names on the contract: me, Tang Ci, Gui Lao and Huaying. The other teammates were all
Erased."
Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other.
If it were them, they would have survived the catastrophe, were seriously injured, and their lives were in danger. It must be more important to treat him first. Perhaps they would not have imagined that Gui Lao has become a hunter.
Yu Hanjiang said: "It seems that the names of people who die in ordinary secret rooms will disappear from the contract. If they survive in the nightmare chamber, they will reappear in the book. Gui Lao took advantage of Brother Jiu's coma and took away the contract
, signed his name and pretended that he had survived the nightmare chamber."
Xiao Lou was confused: "But since he didn't survive and chose to become a hunter, why could he sign the contract? I remember that the contract must be signed by the challenger. After signing, the team will be bound and sent to the same party.
A secret room."
A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Jiuchuan's mind: "Bi, he has a pen!"
Xiao Lou was startled and quickly understood: "You mean, Gui Lao's pen can be used to sign the contract?"
Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "His pen can write on the surface of any object and change colors. He used his pen to write the three words 'Guiyuan Chapter' in red on the contract. On the surface, he signed it.
, in fact, the contract does not recognize him, and he is not bound to us as a teammate! His name is just on the surface of the paper, and he will not be pulled when the challenger is transported in the secret room. He can go to q with us
, k, these two team secret rooms, maybe they went through the hunter’s passage?”
Xiao Lou followed this idea and quickly analyzed: "Hunters can also enter the team's secret room. In secret room Q, Gui Lao stayed in the Mermaid Palace as a hunter, with the goal of assassinating Liu Qiao and Lao Mo; in secret room k, everyone
You were born in a mass grave, but don’t forget that the boss in the K secret room is the owner of the mass grave. You can also enter the mass grave through the hunter’s passage when you are old!”
On the surface, Gui Lao seemed to be transported to the secret room with them, and his name was also on the contract. But in fact, it was all a disguise, and it was an impeccable disguise!
Yu Hanjiang said: "In other words, the contract is the only way to test whether a person is a challenger, but Gui Yuanzhang, as a hunter, has an all-purpose pen that can forge the signature on the contract.
Make people think he is a challenger?"
Xiao Lou thoughtfully said: "Perhaps, this is the reason why he wants to be an undercover agent. As long as he draws the [Pen] card, the undercover agent will not be suspected by anyone around the challenger. The names of other hunters
You can’t even sign it, right?”
Everyone: “…………”
The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this is the case, the depth of the city is really impressive!
I remember that when I gave the new contract to Brother Jiu and the four others to sign, Gui Lao was the last one to sign. Xiao Lou did not doubt him, and naturally did not notice that he used the quill that came with the contract when signing.
Still using his own pen.
Pen, a simple card was used to the extreme by Gui Lao, and he actually created a "Mission: Impossible" drama.
Lu Jiuchuan took a deep breath and looked serious: "I am willing to believe him now. If he sided with the hunters, he would have had countless opportunities to attack us. At that time, we were tracked by the hunters at the Tomb of the Headless General.
When the tomb is about to collapse, he only needs to block the exit and bury us all alive."
Xiao Loudao: "There is also the mass grave in the K secret room. Brother Jiu, your clues passed across time and relied on his letters. If he tampered with the clues, Han Jiang and I would not be able to successfully solve the mystery."
Lao Mo and Qu Wanyue were confused when they heard it, but they finally understood it.
Qu Wanyue said in a trembling voice: "I can understand that he didn't tell us. After all, the more people who know, the easier it is to reveal the truth. But you also said that he has many opportunities in both the Q secret room and the K secret room, why should he continue to do so?
Drag it to the secret room of the two kings before taking action?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "I guess it's because if the Double King's Secret Chamber is successfully cleared, we can go back, and the hunter may also get the highest reward - this time the secret chamber is the decisive battle, and of course the ultimate move must be saved for the end.
"
Xiao Lou nodded and agreed with Yu Hanjiang's statement: "Maybe Gui Lao relied on his unique advantage in the card world of being able to sign the contract with his own pen, and made some deals with the senior management of the Hunter, deliberately dragging his feet.
To the Secret Room of the Two Kings. So in the past few times, although we encountered troubles being chased by hunters, we survived. Because of this, the hunters did not completely trust him, so he just acted decisively.
I killed Jiu Ge and Lao Mo to prove my loyalty."
Lao Mo suddenly said: "No, he also killed Mr. Tang? Why didn't we see Mr. Tang?"
Lu Jiuchuan's expression changed: "What did you say?! Tang Ci also..."
He was the first to be stabbed to death. Tang Ci was still alive when he closed his eyes. But Lao Mo was the last to die. Lao Mo said: "I saw with my own eyes that General Gui threw Mr. Tang into the fire. Mr. Tang was killed."
Burned to death!"
Xiao Lou said firmly: "Tang Ci will not die."
Lu Jiuchuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Xiao Loudao: "His defensive mecha is not even afraid of the fire of hell, let alone the fire set by the hunter. Gui Lao intentionally saved Tang Ci, so he threw Tang Ci into the fire. The hunter probably thought that Tang Ci's defense was
The mecha has been used, but I know that when the mecha was dismantled to make a stove, Mr. Tang actually kept one just in case."
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Kill me and leave Tang Ci behind. Maybe Gui Lao thinks Tang Ci is smarter than me?"
Yu Hanjiang glanced at his brother, as if to say: You are quite self-aware.
Xiao Lou felt much relieved. In fact, all the way up to now, he often wondered whether they could pass the card chamber? The Hunters were so powerful and their number were many times theirs. They could also replace the card world.
The identity of the aborigines even pretended to be their teammates. How could they find a turning point under such a terrible disadvantage?
Now, he found it.
Thanks to Gui Lao for his foresight and becoming a hunter himself to find out the details of the hostile forces.
As the predecessor said - time travel, allowing a person to go back to the past with memories, change everything that is about to happen, and eliminate the hunters in advance is the only way to break the situation.
Xiao Lou looked at his teammates and said, "Mr. Tang is very smart. He was let go by Gui Lao. He must have thought that Gui Lao was a double undercover agent. Next, they should find a way to find out the details of the hunter.
Get enough information and then find the right time to start looking back in time."
Yu Hanjiang said: "What do you think is the right time?"
Xiao Lou said: "The best way is to wait for us to go back. Therefore, we must find the exit of the nightmare room as soon as possible."

【Chapter 571, Plan】
Hospital.
Xu Muran shook the coffee cup in his hand and frowned: "Still haven't found Shao Qingge?"
Gui Yuanzhang sat opposite him and said: "I just led a group of people to search everywhere in the oasis town, but no trace of him was found. He is now in the insect king transformation state, and nothing can kill him except fire. And
After becoming the Queen of Insects, Shao Qingge is not afraid of suffocation and can burrow underground, but we can't let our people turn the entire desert upside down, right?"
Xu Muran looked ugly and said: "How long will it take for the transformation to end?"
"Two hours."
"Okay, after waiting for so long, these two hours are not enough. The time flow rate in the Nightmare Chamber is 24 times that of the ordinary chamber. The two hours here are equivalent to two days in the Nightmare Chamber." Xu Muran narrowed his eyes and raised his lips.
Raising a hint of sneer, "Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang are in the nightmare chamber. They may have turned into ashes long ago. Shao Qingge will never wait for the support of his teammates."
Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, as long as Shao Qingge ends his transformation, he will be a bug that can be rubbed. As for Chu Huaying, she likes to be alone, but she also hates evil. When she saw me, I personally killed Lu Jiuchuan and Tang
Ci, she will definitely come to the oasis to seek revenge from me, we just need to wait here and wait."
Xu Muran leaned back lazily on his chair and said with a smile: "As expected of a senior, he thinks about things more thoughtfully than me."
Gui Yuanzhang said: "By the way, except for the two of us who got the immortality card, have you calculated the survival time of the other hunters who came with you after the mission is over?"
Xu Muran said: "Cheng Ziyang has always been responsible for the distribution of rewards. He will arrange it without us having to worry."
Gui Yuanzhang nodded.
At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of hurried footsteps outside, followed immediately by someone knocking on the door. Xu Muran raised his eyebrows and said, "Come in!"
It was Cheng Ziyang who came in, looking nervous: "Brother Xu, Liu Qiao is missing!"
Xu Muran suddenly narrowed his eyes: "What?"
Cheng Ziyang's face turned slightly pale: "Didn't you just ask me to start the teleportation array? I went to the entrance of the hospital to open the teleportation array, and left a few people in the corridor to guard Liu Ying, Liu Qiao, and the sisters, waiting for me to come back.
, found that Liu Qiao had been kidnapped, and Liu Ying and several people guarding them were knocked unconscious."
Xu Muran smashed the seat next to him with one palm and shouted sternly: "A bunch of losers, they can't even look down on two little girls?!"
Gui Yuanzhang said calmly: "It's not entirely their fault. It must have been Liu Qiao who was taken away by Shao Qingge. He could climb into the hospital along the wall and avoid our arranged eyes and ears. Don't worry too much, Liu Qiao's ice and snow restrictions
The skills have been used, and the remaining cards don't have much combat effectiveness. Besides... her sister is still in our hands, so it's better to use Liu Ying to force her out."
When Xu Muran heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a half-smile: "Gui Lao, do you think Liu Qiao will take risks for his sister?"
Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "The first time I met Liu Qiao at the Yuanfang Association, I saw that this little girl has a brave personality, is smart and calm, and values love and justice. Liu Ying is her biological sister and has been with her since she was a child.
Da, she will never just watch her sister die in front of her."
"you mean?"
"We can use Liu Ying to set up a trap to lure Liu Qiao into taking the bait. It would be best to lure out Shao Qingge and Chu Huaying as well."
This sentence was exactly what Xu Muran wanted. He smiled and said: "Okay. Then please Gui Lao and find a way to give Liu Qiao a few words. As long as Liu Qiao is willing to switch to our hunter camp, not only can we protect
If her sisters don't die, they will enjoy all the glory and wealth."
He paused, gently touched the coffee cup with his fingers, and said calmly: "Tell her one more thing, if I don't see her within ten minutes, then I will chop off her sister's head and hang her
It’s at the entrance of the hospital for everyone to visit.”
Gui Yuanzhang nodded: "Understood."
He turned and left the office. Cheng Ziyang then raised his head and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xu, this Gui Lao has been following Xiao Lou and his team, can you trust him?"
"He himself is a hunter. If he doesn't get the [Survival Time Card] according to the rules of the hunter camp, he will be completely wiped out by the card world." Xu Muran picked up two cups, put them on the table, and said with a smile.
: "On one side is a fortune, enjoying all the glory and wealth, and eternal life in the card world; on the other side is complete death. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Cheng Ziyang was startled, then pointed to the cup on the left flatteringly, and said with a smile: "Of course I choose the first one."
Xu Muran handed him the cup filled with coffee on the left: "So, Gui Lao has no reason not to cooperate with us."
Cheng Ziyang nodded: "That's right. I heard that he just killed Lu Jiuchuan, Tang Ci and Mo Xuemin. It's so easy to kill three people in one go. It's really awesome."
Xu Muran waved his hand: "Go ahead and follow him. If anything goes wrong, report to me anytime."
**
Operating room on the first floor.
Liu Ying fainted next to the operating table. Gui Yuanzhang walked over and poured a basin of cold water on her to wake her up.
The girl choked a few words of water. When she came to her senses, her chin was pinched hard by a pair of old hands. Liu Ying stared at the gray-haired old man in front of her in horror. The latter held an earphone in his hand and whispered: "
Liu Ying, come and say a few words to your sister."
Liu Ying's face was as pale as a dead person: "You, who are you..."
Gui Yuanzhang said calmly: "My surname is Gui, I am Xu Muran's friend, and I was the one who passed the news about Liu Qiao to the Eternal Kingdom. Please persuade your sister to join the Hunter Alliance, and we will ensure that your sister
The two of them will enjoy all the glory and wealth from now on, so Liu Qiao should stop being stubborn."
Liu Ying was stunned: "Did my sister get rescued by her teammates?"
Gui Yuanzhang tightened his fingers and whispered: "If Liu Qiao doesn't come within ten minutes, Lao Xu will cut off your head and hang it at the entrance of the hospital for people to visit. Do you understand?"
Liu Ying's jaw was almost crushed by him. When she heard his words, tears welled up in her eyes. She nodded hard. Gui Lao then pressed the voice earphone and put it to her lips: "Say it.
"
Liu Ying's voice was trembling, and she stammered: "Xiao, Xiaoqiao, I am your sister. Brother Xu said, let you join the hunter organization, and he will ensure that we live well! If you within ten minutes
If I don't show up, he, he will chop off my head... Xiaoqiao, you have to think clearly! It is impossible to pass the challenge as a challenger. Joining the hunter organization is the most correct decision in the world! In the card world, we will always
I can’t even get out, how about you come and live with your sister?”
By the time she finished speaking, she was bursting into tears.
In the Peach Blossom Spring, Liu Qiao clenched his fists tightly after hearing all this.
Long Sen whispered: "What should I do?"
Liu Qiao shook his head vigorously: "It must be a trap, I can't go..."
The next moment, a deep voice sounded in my ears: "In ten minutes, I will be waiting for you to show up at the hospital, otherwise, it will be your sister's death... Do you hear me clearly?"
When Liu Qiao heard that this was the voice of returning to his old age, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said stiffly: "I heard it."
Tang Ci, Shao Qingge, and Chu Huaying also heard these words through team headphones.
The three of them stopped and looked at each other.
Tang Ci also had a letter from Gui Lao, the content of which was the same as the one written to Lu Jiuchuan. Gui Lao's letter could be sent in groups. When he killed Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci, he conveniently gave the letter to the two of them.
Even without that letter, Tang Ci figured everything out the moment he survived being thrown into the fire.
Only by truly becoming a Hunter can we find out the background of the Hunter. Although Ninth Brother went undercover for a while, because Ninth Brother is not a real Hunter, he can only investigate on the periphery and can never get close to the Hunter organization.
Core secrets.
Gui Lao finally asked "Did you hear everything clearly?" Naturally, he was not asking Liu Qiao, but Tang Ci.
——Half an hour later, at the entrance of the hospital.
Tang Ci said: "Let's go. You should make your own arrangements when you return to old age."
Chu Huaying asked: "If Mr. Shao and I are both dead, can the hunters completely let down their guard?"
Tang Ci nodded: "Obviously, the only ones left alive now are Hua Ying, Mr. Shao and Liu Qiao."
Chu Huaying frowned in thought: "Does the Hunter not know that we have two team-limited cards [Resurrection] and [Time Back]?"
Tang Ci nodded: "Maybe Gui Lao deliberately concealed these two team cards, which are also the only trump cards left to us. I guess he wanted to make a big show and kill Mr. Shao and Hua Ying with his own hands, and then subdue Liu Qiao
, making the hunter think that the mission has been completed and completely let down his guard."
Shao Qingge smiled and said: "Then we will cooperate with him and finish the last scene."
