Card Room

【Chapter 365, Hunter】

Places where crowds gather are inherently dangerous, not to mention that in the gymnasium at this time, the headlights on the roof happened to be broken. In the pitch-black environment, there were tragic screams everywhere, and people could easily lose their minds.

Everyone is desperately rushing towards the exit.

The consequence of crowding is that more and more people fall to the ground.

At this moment, even if they know there are people under their feet and they don't want to step on them, it is impossible to stop, because there are more people behind them pushing forward, being pushed by the crowd, their bodies will be uncontrollably Move forward - completely involuntarily.

Some people were squeezed so that their feet were lifted off the ground, and were clamped by the front and rear crowd like sandwich biscuits. As the crowd moved outward, the control of their bodies was no longer their own.

The continuous screams from the crowd made Xiao Lou's scalp tingle.

He hugged Yu Hanjiang's back tightly to support himself, so as not to be squeezed into the crowd.

We have to find a way, and we can't let things go on like this. Xiao Lou calmed down quickly, and asked in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "Can you stop them? They can't be crowded anymore!"

Areas A and B are relatively good, and they are very close to the exit. Although there are a large number of spectators rushing out frantically, after they go out, the number of people in the venue will quickly decrease, and the lights here are not down. Lose.

Areas C and D are undoubtedly the hardest hit areas of the accident.

That area is located in the deepest part of the gymnasium, more than 1,000 meters away from the exit, and there is a downward staircase in the middle, which is easy to fall when it is crowded. What's more, at the beginning, the chandelier over there suddenly fell and injured the audience, causing the crowd to lose control.

Looking at the black heads in areas C and D, Yu Hanjiang's face was gloomy, the surroundings were too noisy, and he couldn't hear clearly, so he could only whisper into Xiao Lou's ear: "The hunters had planned it long ago, they have considered it. Due to terrain factors, the challengers are concentrated in areas C and D, which are farthest from the exit, and the chandelier on the roof over there must have been intentionally broken, and Luo Yan, a star, must have something to do with it."

Xiao Lou felt chills down his spine when he heard this: "Luo Yan is also a hunter?"

In fact, Luo Yan was able to stop the accident as early as when it just happened. She is the protagonist of the concert, and she has a microphone in her hand. As long as she says to everyone, "Please don't get excited, everyone sit back in their seats, leave the venue in an orderly manner, and don't be crowded in the aisle", the audience will calm down , there will be no such serious stampede.

But what about her?

When the audience screamed uncontrollably, crowded each other, and stomped on each other, the singers on the stage had already fled the scene quickly under the escort of their managers and bodyguards.

She went backstage, and the big stage was empty at this time.

Xiao Lou couldn't believe that this "goddess" would watch his fans being trampled to death!

In the gymnasium at this time, although a large number of "outlanders" gathered in areas C and D, they were affected by the screams, and many aborigines were injured in the crowding in other areas.

In order to kill foreigners, they are also merciless to their compatriots? !

The anger in Xiao Lou's heart was beyond words, he clenched his fists hard, the noise around him was deafening, no one would hear him even if he shouted loudly, unless he could walk to the big stage, pick up the microphone, let everyone keep Calm.

But the wireless microphone had already been taken away, and besides, there was a passage to go from him to the big stage. At this time, the passage was full of people, and many cards in the main city were banned, so he couldn't fly directly there. It would be great if Ye Qi was here, he remembered that Xiao Ye had some musical instrument cards that could be used in the main city.

While he was in a hurry, Xiao Lou suddenly heard the sound of a piano.

It was the sound of a piano.

The melodious notes slide over the eardrums like flowing water. In the noisy and chaotic gymnasium full of screams, the appearance of this piano sound is like a clear spring that extinguishes the flames.

Different from the passionate rock song at the concert just now, the tune of this piano piece is extremely ethereal and soothing, with soft notes ringing in my ears, clear and lively, as if suddenly on a rainy day, fine drops of water one after another fell on the eaves.

——"Kiss the rain", the imprint of the rain, a very famous piano piece.

Xiao Lou has listened to this song before, and it is especially suitable for listening carefully with headphones on when alone. This soothing light music makes people feel like they are in a spring day with drizzle, and the irritability in their hearts will be slowed down by the soft notes. Eliminate slowly.

Who is playing the piano?

Xiao Lou stood on tiptoe and looked at the big stage from Yu Hanjiang's shoulder.

Under the spotlight, sitting a familiar boy—Ye Qi!

At this time, Ye Qi was wearing a clean white shirt, with a delicate and delicate side face, and his appearance was not inferior to that of a star. The young man's slender fingers kept hitting the keys, with a serious expression, but his face was slightly pale.

There was no one else around, so he just appeared out of nowhere, and he moved a piano from nowhere and started playing.

Xiao Lou quickly realized, and whispered in Yu Hanjiang's ear, "It's his piano music box."

Yu Hanjiang also remembered this card.

In the secret room of square 9 [Music Maze], Ye Qi got the S-card piano music box, which has two skills. The first one is to open the piano music box and play the theme song "Dream Wedding", which makes the target within 10 meters fall into lethargy.

The second skill is to enlarge the piano music box in proportion to a normal piano size, sitting

Play a piece of music in front of the piano, and the targets within 100 meters will be locked. You must listen to the whole piece of piano music before you can move. You cannot change the song during the playing.

Ye Qi also joked at the time that if the piano music he played was long enough, he could make people stand still and listen to him give a concert that lasted for tens of minutes.

The range of 100 meters from the stage just included the C area deep in the gymnasium and the D area on the second floor.

The piano piece played by Ye Qi is very nice in itself, and with the influence of the card effect, at this moment, everyone in Area C and Area D who had not had time to run into the aisle was fixed in place and could not move!

As long as they don't move around, the stampede can be stopped quickly.

Although the people who have been trampled to death cannot be rescued, the masses who have not yet joined the stampede army can avoid the tragedy.

When Xiao Lou saw this scene, surprise flashed across his face: "That's great, why did Xiao Ye come here?"

Yu Hanjiang didn't know why Ye Qi appeared suddenly. He quickly scanned the big stage with his sharp eyes, and keenly found a figure—that person was standing behind the curtain. He was more than 1.88 meters tall and could not be seen from Yu Hanjiang's position. The other person's appearance, but the familiar silhouette made him immediately confirm the other person's identity: "It's Brother Nine."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Lou breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Ninth seems to have found something, Ye Qi is probably the one who called over urgently. Only Ye Qi can control this kind of group violence scene." Chess music card."

At this moment, Ye Qi was sweating profusely on his forehead.

He forcibly maintained his composure, and let his hands hit the keys according to the score in memory, ensuring that the piano piece would not be interrupted.

Once it is interrupted and the control effect ends, he can't imagine what will happen to the crowd.

The total duration of the piano piece "Kiss the rain" he played was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Brother Jiu asked him to control the scene within 5 minutes, so Ye Qi chose this softer piece to play. When he came to the scene, the audience was hell on earth. There were screams and curses everywhere. He even saw a teenager being trampled under by the crowd behind him, bloody and bloody!

Ye Qi was so frightened that his face turned pale, he took out the music box bravely, conjured up a piano, and sat in front of the piano to play the music.

The notes of the piano music resounded throughout the stadium, and the scene gradually stabilized.

Crowds beyond 100 meters are still squeezing towards the exit. But in the circle 100 meters away from the stage, everyone sat back in their seats quietly. Those rushing out heard the sound of music, and their footsteps couldn't help slowing down...

When Ye Qi played earnestly for 1 minute, the entire gymnasium was completely silent, only the notes of the piano lingering in his ears. The originally passionate concert seemed to suddenly become an intoxicating concert.

Xiao Lou saw the stable scene, exhaled lightly, and let go of his clenched fists.

At this moment, Yu Hanjiang's mobile phone received a message from an unfamiliar number: "This is equivalent to openly making an enemy of the hunter. Ye Qi's music will end in 3 minutes. As soon as the music stops, leave immediately." The scene. There are hunters in the crowd, don't look back."

Although the other party didn't write his name, Yu Hanjiang knew - this message was sent by Brother Jiu.

He showed Xiao Lou the phone for a look, and Xiao Lou nodded to express his understanding.

Ye Qi sat on the big stage, playing the piano frightenedly. This was the most nervous performance he had ever done since he started learning the piano. He had never been so nervous during the tenth grade exam, but now, his palms were full of cold sweat.

The audience in the audience was looking at him, and there might be a hunter among them, Ye Qi felt terrified.

Finally, the piece was played, and there was warm applause from the audience.

Ye Qi stood up, and the spotlight cast on him went out as expected. Ye Qi put away the piano in the dark, then hurriedly turned and walked into the backstage. The mood of the audience has completely calmed down, and the 4-minute-long piano music has woken everyone up like cold water. As long as the crowd regains their sense, there will be no more large-scale crowding and stampedes.

People started lining up to leave.

The people who were trampled to death in the aisle remained where they were, their corpses were bloody and bloody, and suppressed cries sounded in the gymnasium. The expressions on the faces of the audience were all terrified, and they fled the scene as soon as possible. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang also walked quickly among the crowd. leave.

After coming outside the gymnasium, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, their faces a little ugly.

Xiao Lou found that Yu Hanjiang was holding his hand tightly. It was too dangerous just now, and he didn't realize it.

Raising his head to meet Shangyu Hanjiang's gaze, Xiao Lou asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Yu Hanjiang said almost at the same time: "How are you?"

Xiao Lou shook his head; "It's okay, let's go back to the hotel first."

When the two walked to the side of the road, a nanny car suddenly stopped, the door opened, Ye Qi poked his head out and said, "Get in the car!"

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou hurried into the car.

In the car, a familiar person was sitting in the driver's seat, and Tang Ci was in the co-pilot's seat. He was opening the notebook, typing something quickly with his slender fingers, and countless characters flashed across the computer screen, making the man's hands paler.

The person in the driver's seat looked ordinary, a passerby's face that could not be found in the crowd - it was the disguise mask that Tang Ci gave Lu Jiuchuan, and Yu Hanjiang recognized it at a glance: "Brother?"

Lu Jiuchuan stepped on the accelerator hard, and said in a deep voice, "Go to the hotel to meet other people first, and you can explain the specific situation, Xiao Tang."

The black nanny car quickly merged into the traffic flow.

Yu Hanjiang looked at Tang Ci: "What's going on?"

*****

【Chapter 366, Hunting Plan】

Coincidentally, just as Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou left the hotel, the rest of the teammates went back to their rooms, but Shao Qingge met Li Mo in the elevator.

In the underground gambling game in Moon City before, Shao Qingge and Li Mo played sex for several hours. It happened in the main city, so Li Mo also recognized Shao Qingge.

Shao Qingge took the initiative to say hello: "Mr. Li."

Li Mo nodded and said, "Mr. Shao, what a coincidence."

Shao Qingge smiled and said, "Mr. Li also came to the City of the Sun and stayed in this hotel?"

Li Mo said lightly: "Well, come here for a meeting."

The two of them only had a few polite words, and Ye Qi boldly put a bug on the sole of Li Mo's shoe.

The concert was about to start, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou found that six seats in the VIP auditorium were vacant, and asked Tang Ci to check, but it turned out that the vacant seats belonged to Shu Xiaomeng and others.

The teammates noticed something was wrong.

Ye Qi overheard the conversation between Li Mo and Shu Xiaomeng through the bug.

Shu Xiaomeng seemed very angry, her voice was trembling: "Why didn't you let us go to the concert? Ten years ago, I couldn't see it as a concert. This time, Xiaoyan and Xiaoyu asked for leave from the unit to realize their dream. , You said you won’t let go if you don’t want to go, and you locked everyone in the hotel, isn’t it too much?”

Li Mo said lightly: "It's for your own good not to go, Luo Yan is not an easy person."

Shu Xiaomeng jumped up angrily: "What do you mean? I have liked Luo Yan's songs for twenty years, and it's not like you don't know..."

Li Mo interrupted her: "The concert site is not safe, you will understand soon. Xiaomeng, since we met, have I ever done anything to hurt you?" Shu Xiaomeng was stunned by the question, Li Mo lightly Sighing, he said in a low voice: "Believe me, stay in the hotel and have a good rest. The person you admire is obviously not as gentle and kind as you think."

Hearing this, Ye Qi hurriedly told Tang Ci the information.

This also confirmed Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou's previous speculation that something might happen at the concert.

Tang Ci notified Lu Jiuchuan of the news. It happened that Lu Jiuchuan had arrived at the concert. He pretended to be a security guard to maintain order at the scene, so he had the opportunity to enter the backstage.

At 9:30 in the evening, when Luo Yan stepped off stage to change clothes for the first time, Lu Jiuchuan hid in her dressing room.

He saw that there was a black totem tattoo on the right shoulder behind Luo Yan.

She is a hunter!

Lu Jiuchuan doesn't know what they are going to do, but according to the clues he has so far, especially the seat distribution map found after Tang Ci invaded the official website, there are a lot of challengers gathered in areas C and D, and something will definitely happen, and it is likely to be mass event.

The use of firearms is prohibited in the main city. It is impossible for hunters to take a sub-machine gun to shoot in areas C and D on a large scale, nor can they bury explosives on the spot. After all, Lu Jiuchuan has been in the hunter organization for more than half a year. These people use all means to achieve their goals and are very good at manipulating people's hearts, so it is more likely that they will use the challenger to kill the challenger.

After checking everyone's cards, Tang Ci found that Ye Qi's piano music box can achieve the largest range of group control, so he brought Ye Qi to the scene urgently. Lu Jiuchuan responded in the background and let Ye Qi enter the gymnasium through the back door. Tang Ci hacked into the lighting system of the scene to control the follow spot lights. This is why Ye Qi suddenly appeared on the big stage.

Hearing the whole process, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help clenching his fists: "Where is Luo Yan?"

Lu Jiuchuan said coldly: "I ran away after the incident. The idol singers she called ran faster one by one."

Yu Hanjiang's fists were clenched, he really wanted to grab this woman and let her have a taste of being trampled underfoot! In order to kill foreigners, she actually caused a stampede in a gymnasium with 100,000 people, she was crazy!

Tang Ci said: "I checked just now. The lights and wiring of the gymnasium were damaged in advance. The moment the concert ended, the chandeliers on the roof began to fall one by one, hurting the crowd and causing panic among the crowd. Area C A lot of hunters mixed with Area D, took advantage of the chaos to deliberately push the outsiders to the ground, and guide the people behind to step on them."

He gently closed his eyes and said: "The official data has not yet come out. According to preliminary estimates, the number of deaths in this mass stampede accident exceeded 100, and the number of injured exceeded 1,000. In a few days, it will be compulsory weekly. It is also unknown whether he can survive the weekly routine."

Xiao Lou: "..."

If Brother Nine hadn't let Ye Qi enter the big stage to control the field in time, the accident would only have become more serious. After all, in the hands of other challengers, there are only a handful of cards that can be used in the main city and have a wide range of field control capabilities.

Xiao Lou clenched his fist lightly, and asked: "The hunters even tried to kill us, even the innocent aborigines in this world, and many people were trampled and injured in Area A where Team Yu and I are located. They are really insane ! Is it just to collect the bounty?"

Lu Jiuchuan who was driving suddenly said, "It's not as simple as a bounty."

Everyone turned to look at him.

Although Lu Jiuchuan was wearing a mask, the man's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He whispered: "I have been lurking in the Hunter Alliance for more than half a year. Some time ago, I finally got in touch with some high-level officials, including local rich men. They Although it is not short of money, the bonuses for all the hunters are not a small amount. The daily expenditure of the alliance is enough to buy a building in the city center. If it is not for the deep hatred with foreigners, why would they spend so much money?

Manpower and financial resources, to set up a hunter alliance that specializes in fighting against outsiders? "

Thinking about it, the money of local tyrants does not fall from the sky. If you have money, you can buy murderers to kill your enemies. It is understandable to kill a few, but there are large-scale rewards for killing foreigners. As long as you kill foreigners, you will get a bonus...

Isn't this too extreme?

Like Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, since they entered this world, they have tried their best to abide by the bottom line of human beings, and have never slaughtered any innocent aborigines. The few times they did it, they only killed those murderers or used self-defense.

They have no grievances with the hunter alliance, why should they be targeted?

Lu Jiuchuan said: "I'm still investigating the hatred of the Hunter Alliance towards us, but I have a bold guess that there are actually many of our kind in this organization."

Xiao Lou had already thought about this point.

Because the hunters are very aware of the setting that "outlanders know spells", that is to say, the hunters know that the "outlanders" have cards on them, and even some hunters will get them after killing outsiders. cards to enhance their strength.

If there were no challengers who joined this organization, how could they know the challenger's situation so well, even the specific time of the weekly missions, and send hunters to the weekly world to snipe and kill outsiders?

As early as in the financial crisis chamber of Spades 3, there were hunters who received news in advance to harm them. If it wasn't for the fact that a traitor was found among the challengers, how could the aborigines know so clearly?

The more Xiao Lou thought about it, the colder his spine became, he couldn't help guessing: "I remember Lao Mo said that there are many challengers who are willing to stay in this world and continue to live. Could it be that these people we want to leave People, in a way, are actually the opposite of them, does it affect their existence here?"

Lu Jiuchuan nodded with interest: "Tell me about your analysis."

Xiao Loudao: "For example, challengers who want to stay must kill other challengers to obtain the right to live in the card world? In this way, it makes sense for them to join the hunter organization. According to the four guards The eccentric temper of the passers-by might really lead to such a mission."

The spade dungeon I experienced before had the setting of "cannibalism".

Perhaps, the final boss of Hunter Alliance is also a challenger? Through brainwashing the aborigines and offering rewards, he allowed a large number of aborigines to join the organization to target challengers...

Ye Qi's scalp was numb and said: "According to Professor Xiao, it may be assumed that the task they received was to kill the same kind to obtain the right of residence. For example, killing a challenger can exchange for a year of residence right? If this is really the case Terrible setting, so they hunt and kill challengers on a large scale in order to survive in this world? Kill too many, maybe they can live forever?!"

Everyone: "..."

Ye Qi's words froze the atmosphere instantly, as if he had time-traveled into a horror game.

Hearing such conjectures, Lu Jiuchuan's face also became gloomy, and he whispered: "No matter what, we have to find a way to return to the normal human world. This world has gone crazy, and human life has become nothing to them. I just got in touch with several core figures of the hunter organization recently, and I will pay close attention to the investigation in the next few days, and it will be beneficial to us to get more clues."

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he couldn't help worrying: "Brother, Saturday is Zhou Chang's secret room, you have to go with us?"

Lu Jiuchuan nodded: "Well, I will try my best to complete the investigation before Saturday. Time is running out, so I signed the contract today. When you enter the weekly routine, you can directly pull me in."

The car quickly drove to the underground garage of the hotel. Tang Ci sent a message to his teammates in advance, so Mr. Gui and Chu Huaying were waiting for them in the garage.

Lu Jiuchuan took out the contract and destroyed it on the spot.

Once upon a time, there were more than ten names in this book, and it was the first commando team formed by Lu Jiuchuan.

It's a pity that they were almost wiped out in Plum Blossom J's challenge chamber, and only four survived. The other names had long since disappeared from the contract—but they have always lived in Lu Jiuchuan's heart.

Lu Jiuchuan looked at the contract book that was burned to ashes in his hand, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

He said: "My teammates are completely gone, but I will go back with their wishes."

Yu Hanjiang walked over, gently pressed his brother's shoulder, and said, "In the future, there will be us."

Xiao Lou took out the contract and handed it to Lu Jiuchuan.

Lu Jiuchuan simply said: "Let's sign it. I hope that changing a book this time will bring good luck to everyone."

He took the lead in signing "Lu Jiuchuan" in three bold characters on the next page.

Tang Ci immediately signed it.

Gui Yuanshan and Chu Huaying also quickly signed.

The four new names emit a soft light effect on the contract, representing the formal formation of the contract.

In order to avoid too many people gathering in the underground garage to attract hunters, other teammates Xiao Lou did not tell them to go downstairs, and the signing was done secretly in the car.

Lu Jiuchuan handed the contract back to Xiao Lou, and said, "I still have things to do. I'll meet with other people. Let's wait for Zhou Chang's secret room."

Chu Huaying looked at him calmly: "Are you going to take risks again?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "It's a rare opportunity, the dinner party the night after tomorrow will be attended by high-level hunters, I must go."

Chu Huaying nodded and said, "Don't get hurt again, come back and let us treat you."

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "I know, I will be careful."

return

The old man looked at Tang Ci and said, "Hua Ying and I have to go back and arrange the people in the guild. Xiao Tang, I will leave it to you to cooperate with them in preparing the weekly tasks."

Tang Ci said: "Don't worry, senior, I will pull you into the dungeon on Saturday night."

Gui Yuanshan is the president of the largest challenger association "Distant Association", and Chu Huaying is the head of Luoying Pavilion. They really have a lot of work to do. Today, I followed Brother Nine just to understand the binding contract and sign to Xiao. Lou this book is good for the next week.

After everyone said goodbye in the underground garage, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang, Ye Qi and Tang Ci took the elevator back to the hotel room.

Xiao Lou leaned against the wall wearily, closed his eyes, the tragic scene of the concert scene always appeared in his mind, those people who fell in the aisle, waving their bloody hands, struggling frantically, calling for help, screaming...they The pain experienced before death is simply unimaginable.

Those are all living human lives!

Xiao Lou really couldn't understand the brutality of the hunter. For whatever reason, disregarding other people's lives and killing innocent people indiscriminately, can it still be called a "human being"? They are nothing more than a group of murderous weapons without temperature.

The contract in his hand seemed to become extremely heavy.

He is the owner of this contract book. At first, he only wanted to form a team with Yu Hanjiang. Now, 12 names have been signed on the book.

The hunters are so cruel, cold-blooded, and unscrupulous. This time, can they really pass the S-level level smoothly?
