Card Room

【Chapter 367, Preparation】

After Tang Ci returned to the hotel, he immediately called up the information in his laptop, investigated Luo Yan's details in detail, and sent the compiled information to Lu Jiuchuan.

Lu Jiuchuan replied: "Luo Yan is just a senior member of the Hunter Alliance, not even the core. I can't find out who the real Boss is. I understand, there is also a lot of power in the card world, and there is a lot of money in hand, it is really difficult to deal with."

Tang Ci said: "We met ten times as many hunters in Plum Blossom J, this time, you signed Xiao Lou's contract, are you worried that if you continue to sign your book, Plum Blossom J will become a hunter again?" game?"

Lu Jiuchuan did have this consideration.

The high-level secret rooms are individually customized according to the team's situation and will not reappear, so the previous strategy and experience are useless. The subsequent S-level secret rooms must have a new background and setting. In his contract book, there were heavy casualties, and it felt like he was plagued by bad luck. Switching to Xiao Lou's book, maybe the secret room in the later stage will change the setting because of the different owner of the contract book.

Of course, before entering the S-level secret room, all this is still unknown.

If they encountered ten times as many hunters as last time, they would have no choice but to face each other head-on.

Lu Jiuchuan warned: "It's been hard for you to sort out the cards of everyone in the team these few days, and prepare some supplies. In the next two days, it is not convenient for me to contact you for the time being. The person I want to contact is probably the Hunter Alliance Contacting the higher-ups rashly will only expose you. In addition, Ye Qi must be well protected, he has already shown his face today, maybe someone will come to assassinate him."

Tang Ci replied: "Understood, I have already invaded the monitoring system of this hotel. Once any suspicious person appears, I will notify Ye Qi and them to deal with it as soon as possible. Don't worry."

After finishing the conversation, Tang Ci pulled everyone into a group.

As a top hacker, he is naturally fully prepared for anti-reconnaissance. This time the chat group uses a small software developed by himself, so he doesn't have to worry about being monitored.

Tang Ci typed and said: "This hotel is safe for the time being. Before Saturday, try not to go out, and eat in the hotel restaurant. Old Mr. Gui and Huaying still have some things to deal with. At 0 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, we will be forced Send it to Zhou Chang's secret room. In the past few days, everyone has recharged their batteries and prepared for a tough battle."

Lao Mo sent a message: "Zhou Chang is still not sure what type it is. If it is spades or clubs, it will be another fierce battle."

I still remember the spade week [Endless Sea] back then. They were thrown on the boat, and they encountered shipwreck, ship capsizing, starvation, exposure to the sun, sharks and hunters, and their skin almost faded after a few days.

Although the death rate in Zhou Chang's secret room is controlled at about 20%, their team strength should not be eliminated, but they should not be taken lightly. After Xiao Lou saw it, he returned: "Everyone, report all the cards in your current hand and make statistics for Mr. Tang."

Tang Ci also had this intention, saying: "Statistics cards are also convenient for arranging tactics in an emergency."

Most of the B-cards and C-cards obtained in the early days have been invalidated. For example, cards such as [Master-Key] and [Nine Palaces] have a limit on the number of times they can be used, and they will be automatically shattered when they are used up.

A card and S card are relatively less restricted, everyone has a few cards in their hands, and everyone sends screenshots of the cards in the group one by one for Bureau Tang to make statistics.

Ye Qi's cards are mainly musical instruments, flute, erhu, guzheng, piano and suona, most of them have control, single control and group control are very comprehensive. A very capable teleportation card.

Liu Qiao has the lightness card of [Body Light as a Swallow], [Twins] can pretend to be any person or animal, and the other cards are fairy tale cards such as Little Red Riding Hood, Poison Queen, Thumbelina, Mermaid Princess, and Ugly Duckling.

Lao Mo holds cards related to decoration and furniture; the [Chameleon] of the Longqu couple is a very strong scouting card, and the rest are related to sports and dancing, which can be used to attack, defend or escape. Mr. Shao's cards are very expensive to use, but the [rich and willful] card setting that can be copied is still the strongest of the S cards, with unlimited possibilities.

Yu Hanjiang has a gun and a saber weapon card. Xiao Lou's painting style is the strangest, with a lot of ancient character cards...

Everyone probably knows the cards of their teammates, but they are very curious about the cards of Tang Ci and others.

In the anticipation of everyone, Tang Ci also showed everyone a screenshot of his card.

Data Master, Mechanical Ant, Drone Phalanx, Mechanical Centipede, Mechanical Spider, Mechanical Snake, Healing Robot...

Looking at a large number of intelligent machines, Ye Qi was dumbfounded: "So many machines?"

Tang Ci said: "Some are cards that I researched myself."

Xiao Lou knew that Bureau Tang was a research madman and a top hacker in this world, but he couldn't help admiring him when he saw so many smart mechanical cards with his own eyes.

Mr. Gui's cards are related to pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Everyone has seen his pen that can make things float in the air before.

Chu Huaying has a melee weapon Blood Spider, which is why she is called the Spider Queen. It is said that her dagger cuts iron like mud, and every time she kills a person, a red line will appear on the weapon. Now, the bloody line on her dagger has become a dense spider web, making her teammates terrified.

Chu Huaying said: "You don't have to be afraid, all I kill are hunters, no one is innocent."

Old Mr. Gui joked: "Huaying is the hunter because he killed too many hunters.

The number one person on the reward list of the Killer Alliance, if you kill her, you can get a high reward. "

Chu Huaying often cooperated with Lu Jiuchuan in acting in Zhou Chang's secret room. Lu Jiuchuan pretended to be unable to beat her, but was stabbed by her, leaving a spider mark. But once or twice can still get away with it, and if it is too much, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the organization.

This is also the reason why Chu Huaying can't show up in public. She is the number one person on the hunter's reward list. Once she shows up, she will definitely be hunted down, so she disappeared immediately after signing the contract with Xiao Lou.

As for Brother Nine's card, Tang Ci said: "Brother Nine went to perform a special task, changed his face to conceal his identity, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the hunter organization, I temporarily sealed his card in the underground factory. , I will retrieve his card pack."

At present, only Lu Jiuchuan is not in the group, and everyone hopes that he can come back safely.

There are still three days before Zhou Chang, Xiao Lou said: "Everyone, take a good rest, try to avoid seeing each other these few days, take care of yourself, and call if you need anything."

Seeing that it was almost eleven o'clock, everyone took a bath and went to bed.

Seeing that Xiao Lou's face was a little pale, Yu Hanjiang patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "You are tired too, go take a bath and rest early."

Xiao Lou nodded, turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When I calm down, I can't help thinking about what happened in the gymnasium today.

He and Yu Hanjiang were in Area A just now, and the situation was not serious. They were not pushed into the crowded aisle by the crowd, and Yu Hanjiang was protecting him in his arms, and Xiao Lou was not injured either.

However, what he saw in his eyes and heard in his ears, that tragic scene still lingered in his head.

The nose seems to be able to smell a strong smell of blood.

Xiao Lou couldn't imagine the pain those people who were lying on the ground and trampled to death endured.

He frowned and let the cold water from the shower rush over his body. After taking a cold shower, his mind gradually regained his composure.

His power is very limited, and he can't save too many people. He just wants to urgently leave this crazy world.

Although there are some criminals in the human world he lives in, most people will abide by social rules, and don't need to worry about survival every day, let alone participate in a so-called "weekly mission" where life and death are uncertain every weekend. On weekends in that world, young people usually have dinners, watch movies, and go on dates... Now that I think about it, such weekends have become a luxury.

Xiao Lou wiped off the water on his body, changed into a set of pajamas and went back to his room.

Yu Hanjiang also turned to take a shower, and Xiao Lou sat at his desk, turned on his laptop and surfed the Internet, wanting to see if there were any news reports on today's events.

Soon, he posted headlines, and the headline read in bright red characters, "Thousands of people were injured in Luo Yan's concert stampede!"

When Yu Hanjiang came out of the shower, he found Xiao Lou staring at the computer screen with a pale face. He walked to Xiao Lou and looked at the screen—Xiao Lou opened the news website, which reported the stampede accident at the concert in detail.

Yu Hanjiang's voice was low: "It seems that the official statistics have come out."

Xiao Lou nodded and said softly: "In tonight's concert, 578 people were killed, 1086 people were seriously injured, and there are many minor injuries. At present, the bodies of the dead are being cremated, and the seriously injured are receiving treatment in the hospital. .”

578, this is not a simple number, but a total of five hundred and seventy-eight human lives.

Most of the 1,086 seriously injured people are challengers. If they can't be cured before Saturday, then they are likely to be eliminated in this Saturday's weekly mission. At this time, they , how does it feel to stay in the hospital?

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where's Luo Yan? Did you apologize for this incident?"

Xiao Lou clenched the mouse lightly, opened Luo Yan's homepage, and said, "Her public relations team responded quickly. As soon as the official news came out, they immediately posted an apology letter, which was obviously written in advance. Luo Yan is still on her personal WeChat account. Bo publicly apologized and announced her withdrawal from the entertainment industry, and she will no longer sing. But what can all this change? Dead people will not come back to life because of her apology, and she is just putting on a show."

Luo Yan's personal homepage has more than 500,000 messages. Except for some brainless fans who are still defending the goddess, most of them are passers-by who go to denounce and abuse... But all this is not important anymore.

She completed her mission as a hunter, killing more than 500 people and seriously injuring more than 1,000 people at one time.

She will definitely be rewarded by the organization.

Seeing Xiao Lou's pale face, Yu Hanjiang sighed softly, and said in a low voice; "If... I mean, if our team can't clear the S-level secret room at the back, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? Why don't you say it now , don’t leave regrets for yourself.”

Xiao Lou raised his head and met the man's deep and gentle gaze.

Wish not fulfilled?

The scene of meeting Yu Hanjiang for the first time in reality suddenly flashed in his mind. On that cloudy and rainy day, he was summoned by the police to go to the city bureau to take notes. Yu Hanjiang stood in front of the French windows in a police uniform, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome profile like a statue.

His first impression of Yu Hanjiang was that this man was very handsome, but he was too serious and indifferent, so he was not easy to mess with at first glance. The man's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce people's hearts. Facing the captain of the criminal police, Xiao Lou's back was in a cold sweat when he was interrogated. He was afraid that what he said wrong would affect the police's investigation of the case.

That was the first time they met.

He never imagined that he and Yu Hanjiang would have so many intersections in the future.

After getting along during this period of time, Xiao Lou's impression of Yu Hanjiang has changed a lot—this man is very principled, decisive and straightforward, but his personality is not as cold as his impression.

Especially for him, Yu Hanjiang has always taken good care of him. In the secret room of war in troubled times, the two had been husband and wife for the rest of their lives, sharing the same bed for so many years. Xiao Lou didn't know if he had fallen in love with Yu Hanjiang at that time.

Every time Yu Hanjiang inadvertently took his hand, his heart beat like a drum.

As long as Yu Hanjiang was by his side, he felt inexplicably at ease.

But he dared not say it.

The cruelty and cold-bloodedness of the hunters exceeded his imagination. There may be many hunters like Luo Yan. It is still unknown whether the next difficulties will be overcome. Brother Nine's strong team back then was almost wiped out in Club J. How far can their current team go? If they are eliminated, will their souls perish completely?

In the harsh living environment, how could he have the leisure to entangle his feelings?

Life may not be saved. If Yu Hanjiang confesses now, if Yu Hanjiang doesn't like him, maybe it will cause trouble instead?

There was a trace of struggle in Xiao Lou's eyes.

It was the first time that he seriously liked someone. If it was in a stable and peaceful real world, he might have the courage to pursue Yu Hanjiang actively. But now, even the word "like" has become extremely heavy, and he dare not mention it. If the relationship with Yu Hanjiang becomes tense because of this, it will definitely have a negative impact on the next secret room.

Xiao Lou's mood was particularly contradictory. Under Yu Hanjiang's gaze, he looked away calmly, and said softly: "Of course there are many unfulfilled wishes. As a son of man, I can't be filial to support my parents; as a teacher, The two students I accepted did not graduate smoothly..."

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "Is there any more?"

Xiao Lou fell silent.

He really wants to say...and you, I haven't had time to tell you how much I like you.

His eye sockets were slightly hot, but he still couldn't say this sentence.

The next moment, Yu Hanjiang suddenly held Xiao Lou's hand lightly. Xiao Lou's fingertips trembled suddenly, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Yu Hanjiang held his fingers tighter.

Just now, in order to see the computer screen clearly, Yu Hanjiang moved the stool to the side of Xiao Lou. The two seats were very close to each other. Yu Hanjiang pulled hard, and Xiao Lou leaned forward unexpectedly, and was pulled in tightly by the man. arms.

Xiao Lou: "????"

***

【Chapter 368, Confession】

His cheek was pressed tightly against the man's strong chest, and Xiao Lou heard the sound of his heart beating violently. At that moment, he even forgot to breathe, his whole body was stiff, and his voice trembled slightly because of nervousness: "You... you yes?"

Yu Hanjiang hugged the person in his arms tightly, and there was a hint of hoarseness in his deep voice: "Just now in the gymnasium, I was really afraid that something would happen to you."

At the moment when the crowd behind him suddenly rushed up, Yu Hanjiang almost reflexively held Xiao Lou in his arms.

There was a tragic scream, and the whole scene was in chaos. At that time, there was only one thought in Yu Hanjiang's mind - he couldn't let Xiao Lou get hurt.

In case Xiao Lou was knocked down and stepped on by the crowd, he would definitely go crazy.

Thankfully both of them are fine.

The rest of his life after the catastrophe also made Yu Hanjiang more aware of how important Xiao Lou was to him.

In fact, as early as when 8 of Hearts and Xiao Lou were husband and wife, he understood what he wanted, and even asked Brother Jiu when he was confused. During this period of time, one secret room after another prevented him from finding a suitable opportunity to speak clearly with Xiao Lou. Besides, he was not sure how Xiao Lou felt about him before.

Until the last secret room, he was shot in the abdomen, and Xiao Lou gave him artificial respiration in order to save him.

Originally, it was normal for a doctor to give artificial respiration to a patient. But Yu Hanjiang found that when he mentioned this matter, Xiao Lou would actually get nervous, blush, and explain seriously, "I was in a hurry, so I gave you artificial respiration according to the first aid knowledge in the textbook. Airbag, you don't mind, do you?"

At that time, the two had a tacit understanding.

When Xiao Lou was explaining, his expression was uneasy, his eyes kept avoiding Yu Hanjiang's sight, his mind was so messed up that he didn't dare to think about anything. If he was really frank, it was just a doctor's artificial respiration when rescuing the patient, and there was no need for an explanation at all.

His explanation, on the contrary, was trying to cover up, revealing his guilty conscience.

Yu Hanjiang wanted to tell the truth on the spot, but there was no clue about the case of the tenth level at that time, and he was seriously injured and lying on the hospital bed, so he had no choice but to resist the urge to pierce the window paper. I want to find a suitable opportunity, and then explain it clearly to Xiao Lou.

Now is the right time.

The contract has been re-signed, and the new team is about to prepare for the week and the next difficult S-level secret room. You know, Brother Nine's team was almost wiped out in the S-level secret room back then!

No matter how unsure, he might never be able to speak after entering the S-level secret room.

Yu Hanjiang sighed softly, stretched out his hand to gently touch Xiao Lou's wet hair, and said in a low voice; "Today's matter is over, don't think too much. However, if I don't say some things, I'm afraid I will regret it. "

Xiao Lou was startled - Yu Hanjiang's embrace was too warm, which made him reluctant to let go for a while.

But it seems inappropriate for two big men to hold each other like this?

Xiao Lou's ears were slightly hot, and he stretched out his hand to push him: "Captain Yu

..."

Yu Hanjiang didn't let go, and suddenly changed the subject: "In the emergency room of the tenth level, I was shot in the abdomen and fell into a coma. When you gave me artificial respiration, I was completely unconscious and had no memory of this incident. .”

Xiao Lou said embarrassingly: "I explained it before. I was in a hurry at the time and didn't give you an airbag... Don't you mind?"

Yu Hanjiang let go of Xiao Lou, looked into his eyes seriously, and said, "Of course I don't mind, but I feel a little regretful. After all, it was the first time you kissed me, but I didn't remember it. That's why I want to discuss it with you. ...can we, revisit it?"

Xiao Lou's eyes widened instantly.

Revisit?

He never expected that Yu Hanjiang would say such a thing,

Refresh? Is this... the meaning of wanting to kiss him?

Xiao Lou's heart almost stopped beating, his cheeks seemed to be on fire, he quickly avoided Yu Hanjiang's gaze, but the next moment, Yu Hanjiang reached out and lifted his chin, making him look directly into his eyes.

The man's voice was extremely gentle, and he said word by word: "Xiao Lou, I like you, don't you feel it at all?"

Xiao Lou: "..."

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Yu Hanjiang simply lowered his head and kissed Xiao Lou's lips directly.

Shocked, Xiao Lou froze into a statue.

Yu Hanjiang reached out to cover his head, and gently deepened the kiss.

Lips and teeth depend on each other, this feeling is infinitely better than imagined. Xiao Lou's lips were soft, like the candy he ate when he was a child. Compared with "artificial respiration", such a formal kiss is more lingering and memorable.

Yu Hanjiang's eyes gradually became deep.

His slender fingers clasped Xiao Lou's head tightly, and his other hand wrapped around Xiao Lou's waist, closing the distance between the two of them again.

Xiao Lou was hugged and kissed by a man, his head was already messed up.

He nervously grasped Yu Hanjiang's shoulders to support himself, the heat on his lips made the bases of his ears burn as if they were going to burn, his lips were kissed firmly by Yu Hanjiang, his lips could not control the ambiguous sound.

"Uh... um..."

Xiao Lou's brain has completely lost the ability to think.

...

I don't know how long it took before Yu Hanjiang let him go.

Xiao Lou's face was flushed by the kiss, and his legs were even weak——

This Yu Hanjiang is indeed used to playing straight balls, how can he kiss directly after confessing without waiting for the other party's response! Moreover, it took such a long time to kiss for the first time, Xiao Lou was really... ashamed to speak.

After Yu Hanjiang finished kissing, he seemed to remember to ask Xiao Lou's opinion, and said in a low voice, "You like me too, don't you?"

Xiao Lou: "..."

I’ve kissed everyone, I’m only asking now, what’s your logical order?

Xiao Lou blushed and nodded under the deep gaze of the other party.

I have to admit that he really likes Yu Hanjiang. When he was kissed just now, his heart almost jumped out - this was his first kiss, and his childhood dream was not as beautiful as it is today.

Yu Hanjiang smiled lightly and took Xiao Lou's hand: "I knew my intuition was right, I held your hand, but you didn't let me go."

Xiao Lou was startled: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Yu Hanjiang looked calm: "I have never pulled anyone else, you are the first person who made me want to approach you actively. Well, it can be said to be intentional. I just want to test whether you will hate me."

Xiao Lou: "..."

It turned out that they had been cautiously testing each other.

Thinking back carefully, the first time the two held hands was to go to Tang Ci's underground factory. The elevator that suddenly fell made Xiao Lou nervously go to find Yu Hanjiang, and Yu Hanjiang immediately held his hand. Calm down, he didn't dare to think too much.

Later, they acted as husband and wife in the 8 secret room of hearts. The two not only held hands, but also slept together in the same bed for many years. Xiao Lou thought that Yu Hanjiang was acting with all his heart, but only now did he realize that this man was not acting, but was really into it.

The person I like has also silently liked me for so long?

A hint of sweetness suddenly surged in Xiao Lou's heart, he couldn't help but smile, looked at Yu Hanjiang seriously, and said word by word: "Han Jiang, you are also the first person to make my heart move."

First love, first kiss, all given to him.

In this crisis-ridden world, perhaps, this is the only warmth in their hearts.

When Yu Hanjiang heard this, he immediately stretched out his arms and hugged Xiao Lou tightly.

Xiao Lou also tacitly hugged him back.

He heard a man's low and gentle voice in his ears: "Xiao Lou, it's great to meet you here."

Xiao Lou's eyes turned hot, and he said softly, "Me too, fortunately you are here."

Without him by my side, I really don't know how long I can last.

Yu Hanjiang raised the corners of his lips slightly, clasped his fingers with Xiao Lou, and said word by word in his ear: "In the future, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side. If we can live, we will go back alive together. If not ...I will die with you."

Life and death.

Such a promise is more touching than any love words.

With this man who is willing to live and die with him, what else does he have to be afraid of?
