Yu Hanjiang locked Liu Tong's body in a room on the first floor of the construction site together with the owner of Shanshui B&B. The boss was so frightened that he shivered: "Don't, can you please don't lock me with the dead? Let me go and I will give you money! You guys
I will pay you all the accommodation fees for these days, no, I will pay you double the amount!"
When Shao Qingge heard this, he immediately leaned into Xiao Lou's ear and said: "I'll go to Shanshui B&B another day. He collected so much cash from us, maybe he still keeps it. That's our money, so it's not too much to take it back."
"
Mr. Shao is really good at settling accounts. Xiao Lou also thinks this method is feasible, so he said to the boss: "Just stay here and don't make any mistakes. We have to discuss whether we should let you go."
The four people tied up the owner of the B&B in the house and quickly counted the supplies in the large truck.
It is roughly estimated that the boss and a free man named Liu teamed up to commit the crime and stole at least 20 foreigners. After killing all these "foreigners", they would sell the materials and definitely make a huge profit.
The boss said the man's name was Liu Tong, but he didn't know whether it was his real name or a pseudonym.
Xiao Lou remembered the card "Dictionary" that was rewarded when clearing the secret room of Diamond 3. He immediately took out the card from the card bag, flipped from the catalog to the free man section and looked carefully - Liu Tong actually appeared on the third page.
information.
Liu Tong
Male, 41 years old
Height 180cm, weight 75kg
Identity: Free person, member of the mysterious organization in Moon City
Haunted Room: Spades Survival Room
Note: The 3 of Spades secret room mission failed and died. Cause of death: Suicide by taking poison
Seeing Xiao Lou lowering his head to read the dictionary seriously, Yu Hanjiang also came over to take a look, frowning and said: "Mysterious organization? It seems that this dictionary will only display the information we know, and will not reveal any spoilers."
Xiao Lou pointed to the dictionary and said: "Captain Yu, look at the third line. The only secret rooms he haunts are the Spades Survival Chamber. I don't know if this is an exception, or do members of this organization only massacre challengers in the Spades Chamber?"
Yu Hanjiang thought for a while and said: "It may be limited to the secret room of spades. After all, hearts are decryption reasoning, and the plot is basically fixed; diamonds are mainly mechanisms, clubs are the confrontation between challengers, and only spades involve survival issues.
, so that they can attack challengers."
If all four types of secret rooms have organizations that massacre challengers, then challengers really don’t have to play. From this point of view, the spades secret room is the most dangerous. Hearts, diamonds and clubs are still safe for the time being, which makes the four secret rooms safe.
People relaxed a little.
Ye Qi leaned his head over to look at the dictionary and asked curiously: "Where is the City of the Moon?"
Shao Qingge said: "I remember when we took a taxi, the taxi driver also mentioned that Moon City is the most prosperous city in the world, and there is also the largest casino there."
Xiao Lou touched his chin and speculated: "Perhaps it is a place like the 'Game Main City'? There should be a large number of challengers and other forces and organizations there. Our current level is too low to enter."
Yu Hanjiang agreed: "It is possible to unlock all the C-level secret rooms...or even the B-level secret rooms."
Shao Qingge pinched his eyebrows and said, "I hope I can rest there. I'm really tired from going through levels one after another."
Everyone sympathized with Mr. Shao's words and really wanted to find a safe place to sleep until they woke up naturally.
It was already early in the morning, Yu Hanjiang said: "You go back upstairs and sleep for a while, I will keep vigil here in the truck."
Xiao Lou said: "I will accompany you."
Yu Hanjiang turned to look at him: "Professor Xiao, it's better to sleep upstairs, the environment is better there."
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I used to sleep in the corridor at Heart 3. There is a truck here and we can sit in the carriage." He turned back to look at Shao Qingge and Ye Qi and said: "Mr. Shao and Xiao Ye are going.
Let's go upstairs and put a bug in the room in the northwest corner to see if there is anything unusual about the six people we arrested."
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi turned around and left, while Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat down in the carriage.
I got up early yesterday morning to catch a thief, and went to the Shanshui B&B to rescue people early this morning. I didn't sleep well for two consecutive days, and my body was very exhausted. The two of them took turns sleeping in the carriage for two hours, and they couldn't sleep well at all.
It's bright.
At 7:30 in the morning, the two opened a bottle of mineral water and simply washed their faces and brushed their teeth. Then they went upstairs to wake up Shao Qingge and Ye Qi. After everyone had breakfast, they started setting up.
I left a note in the B&B room last night, and soon those challengers will come to my door.
In order to avoid unnecessary armed disputes, Xiao Lou decided to first find a way to suppress the challengers who came to him, so that they could be obedient.
***
At this time, Shanshui B&B.
When they woke up, the challengers were shocked to find that their supplies had been stolen.
Several challengers immediately came to the hall, inquired about each other, and found that everyone's supplies had been stolen.
What's even stranger is that everyone is holding a note in their hands, which says: "The thief has been captured by us, and the supplies have been temporarily sent to the construction site in the western suburbs. Please come and collect them at eight o'clock in the morning."
The faces of several challengers were ugly. One girl whispered: "Everything hidden under the bed was stolen, and I didn't even notice. Could it be that I was drugged?"
The girls' faces changed, and they were all worried about whether they were being taken advantage of.
A young man said loudly: "Do you believe this note? I don't believe it anyway. Could someone be so kind as to steal the supplies and return them to us? This is obviously a trap, deliberately leading us to the construction site!"
Someone said: "Maybe the person who wrote the note is the thief who wants to lure us to kill and silence him after stealing!"
Someone immediately objected: "Do you have any brains? He wanted to kill someone. Wouldn't it be more convenient to kill him while you were sleeping last night?"
One girl said timidly: "Why don't we go there? If there is a trap waiting for us to jump, we won't even be able to save our lives. Although the supplies have been stolen, today is already the fourth day.
There are only three days left to clear the level. If you don’t eat or drink in three days, you can survive, right?”
A person next to him agreed: "Yes, isn't it true that some people survived seven days in the wilderness without eating? As long as we survive these few days, at worst we can go to the wild to eat leaves, hunt or something like that."
A man scolded: "Are you stupid? This is not a wilderness, this is a city! I inspected here on the first day. There are high-rise buildings everywhere and there is no wilderness at all. You still want to hunt game? Be careful of the locals who are going crazy with hunger.
Kill them and make soup."
Someone yelled: "Fuck, can you please stop scaring people? Eating human flesh is too exaggerated, right?"
The challengers in the hall expressed their opinions and quarreled endlessly. Suddenly, an angry man's voice sounded from behind: "Stop the fucking quarrel! If you are rebelling at this time, don't you think you will die soon enough?"
Everyone turned around and saw an old man with a beard walking over.
The man glanced across the audience and said calmly: "With your intelligence, how did you get through the Chamber of Hearts? You don't know how to analyze?"
Several people wanted to get angry, but were coldly interrupted by the man: "If the other party just wanted to steal things, there was no need to leave a note asking us to get the supplies. He would have run away with the supplies long ago. If the thief wanted to kill people and silence them, last night
, everyone has been drugged, and he can destroy the corpses and eliminate traces with just a light of fire, why did he have to wait until this morning to lure us to the construction site with a note to kill us again?"
After everyone thought about it carefully, they suddenly felt that what the uncle said made sense.
The bearded uncle said: "There's no point in arguing. I'm going to go to the construction site to find out what's going on. If you're willing to go along, I'll go with you. If you're not willing, just figure it out on your own."
Immediately two people stood behind him and said, "We want to take a look."
A young girl also came over: "What this uncle said makes sense. If the other party really wanted to kill us, why didn't they do it last night when everyone was asleep, and why did they bother to leave a note to lead us there?
Construction site? There’s no need to go to such trouble, right?"
Someone agreed: "I also think the content on the note may be true. No matter what, I'll go take a look first before talking."
Of course, some people were worried that it was a trap and decisively left the team, saying: "We won't go." "Me, I won't go either, I always feel that this is a trap."
Four of the twelve people left, and in the end only eight people were left willing to go to the construction site together.
The bearded uncle sighed softly and said: "I thought that those who could reach the third level were not idiots, but I didn't expect that there were still quite a lot of idiots. Don't worry about the four who left the team. I'll warn you first of all for those who stayed.
Don't move around when we get to the construction site later. If my guess is correct, there will be a big boss in this secret room to guide us through."
The other six people looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
The uncle frowned and said: "Don't you know how to pay attention to the movements of other challengers? The two people in room 207 carry travel bags out every day to check the situation. After a couple was stolen the afternoon before yesterday, these two people have been missing until now.
If he didn’t come back, maybe they discovered something was wrong with this B&B, and they were the ones who came back last night and took out the robbers.”
Seeing everyone's confused faces, the uncle smiled and said: "The little girls must be frightened and hide in the house and don't go out much, right?"
Several girls looked embarrassed, and one of them whispered: "Uncle, you mean, there are powerful masters among the challengers? They solved the thief in the B&B and are willing to help us?"
The bearded uncle nodded and said: "This is the most reasonable conjecture. Otherwise, how can we explain the note in the room and the sudden disappearance of the boss? You are free people in the secret room world, so you would be so idle, steal our things, and still leave the note.
Leading us to play a hide-and-seek game? Besides, the note reveals a lot of details, so take a closer look."
Several people immediately lowered their heads to take a closer look.
The uncle said: "The handwriting on the first note is the clearest and neatest. The writing after that became more and more hasty, and the ballpoint pen ran out of ink at the end. Obviously the situation was urgent and he couldn't write that much. He had to seize the time to finish it quickly.
There is such a big difference.”
A girl said in surprise: "Yes, we live in the innermost room on the second floor. The words on the back of my note are indeed like a ballpoint pen that is about to run out of ink. The color is very light and can barely be read..."
The uncle continued to remind: "Look at the pen on the table at the front desk of the B&B."
Everyone turned around and looked over. There was an "Opinion Book" book there. Several pieces of paper had been torn off, which matched the notes in their hands. And the ballpoint pen placed next to the book was indeed out of ink.
Obviously, the person who wrote the note last night was in a hurry and took a piece of paper and pen to leave a message for everyone. He really wanted to help everyone. If he had planned a trap in advance, it would be impossible for him to not be able to write the note clearly.
Several people suddenly felt extremely ashamed. The young man who questioned it at first but then changed his attitude said blankly: "Uncle, are you a master of the Secret Chamber of Hearts? You can discover so many details..."
The bearded uncle smiled bitterly and said: "I was also forced out of the Chamber of Hearts. I can't help but observe the details wherever I go. The clues of the note left by the other party are very obvious. The four who ran away just now couldn't notice it.
I really don’t know how miserable the death will be in the Chamber of Hearts at the back.”
The few people left behind are still frightened.
It seems that the secret room world can really bring out people's potential, and one by one, they almost become detectives!
***
Due to Uncle Beard's careful analysis, everyone was relieved, but after all, this was just reasoning, and maybe someone deliberately used this method to set up a trap.
On the way, the uncle who led the team said: "What kind of problems do you have? Be prepared in advance. If something goes wrong and a war starts at any time, we cannot fall into passivity."
Everyone took out some more aggressive cards and held them in their hands, ready to start a war at any time.
However, as soon as everyone entered the construction site, their feet were trapped by the overwhelming rings, and they almost fell to pieces!
Before he could even react to what was going on, he saw a handsome man with a gentle smile suddenly appear next to the truck. He raised his hand slightly, and there were many floating silver rings of different sizes around his fingers. This scene was...
Like a gorgeous magic trick.
Several challengers were startled, but the uncle was more stable and immediately asked: "What is this?"
Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I'm temporarily controlling you. I just want to prevent radical elements among you from taking action without saying a word and causing unnecessary armed conflicts. I don't mean any harm. Just listen to what I have to say. Okay.
?”
Seeing that no one showed any signs of taking action, Xiao Lou said to the cell phone: "Mr. Shao, bring the boss here."
Shao Qingge escorted the owner of the B&B over. Everyone knew this owner. They were shocked when they saw him: "Isn't this Boss Zhang?" "It was you who arrested the owner of the B&B!"
"Well, he put poison in the mosquito coils and knocked you out. He also teamed up with a man named Liu to steal your supplies and wanted to set fire to you and sell the supplies for money, but we happened to find him." Xiao Lou
Smiling and looking at the boss: "Am I right?"
Boss Zhang was tied up all night, his face turned gray, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes... please let me go, I still have money in my hand, I will give you the money! All the accommodation fees for these days are all
No, just let me go back!"
The challengers looked at each other.
Xiao Lou continued: "Shanshui B&B is a shady store. We went to the B&B last night to catch the owner and the thief. They put your supplies in the truck. It was inconvenient for us to carry them and we were worried about being robbed by other citizens, so we put them
The truck is temporarily driven to the construction site."
Some girls said gratefully: "Is it really you who saved us? Thank you..."
The bearded uncle said with a smile: "I have said before that if he wanted to do us harm, he could destroy the bodies with just a fire when everyone was unconscious last night. Who would leave a note and wait until dawn to lead us to the construction site to clean up?
?”
"That's right, thank you to the kind people. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how we died!"
"We have to thank the uncle for helping us analyze and infer that there are experts who are helping, otherwise we would not dare to come to the construction site!" A girl looked at the bearded uncle gratefully.
"Oh?" Xiao Lou asked with interest, "Brother, did you guess that we are helping?"
"Ahem, I also found out some details from the note you left." The man repeated his analysis straightforwardly.
Xiao Lou was very surprised. He didn't expect there to be such a smart person among the challengers.
The man with a thick beard who looks like a tall man is actually the most attentive one in the group.
It was indeed right for him and Captain Yu to rescue people. Although there will be some selfish, cold-blooded, and vicious people among the challengers, there are also smart and kind people who try hard to pass the level without burning, killing, looting, or violating human nature.
.
Moreover, the card world has a huge organization specifically targeting challengers. If the challengers do not unite, it will only become more and more difficult in the future.
In the secret room world where Ye Qi is located, the challenger is the one who was destroyed by the prisoners attracted by Liu Tong on the fifth day.
Among the prisoners there should be people from Liu Tong's organization. Liu Tong said before, "I will ask the brothers to find the guy named Xiao and the guy named Yu. None of these foreigners can be kept." The "brothers" he meant were
Prisoner in jail.
On the fifth day, the challengers are likely to have a head-on conflict with the prisoner gang.
Either run ahead of time and hide so that the other party can't find you.
Or, just wait and kill these thugs.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lou smiled and said: "I have a suggestion. If you can trust me, just follow us - how about we unite and clear the 3 Secret Rooms of Spades together?"
