Card Room

【Chapter 369, Bar Gathering】

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang didn't go to bed until twelve o'clock in the evening. Before going to bed, Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to come over, leaned over and kissed Xiao Lou's forehead, and said softly, "Have a good rest, good night."

The simple goodnight kiss made Xiao Lou's heart beat faster and his cheeks became hot. He tossed and turned on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all, but couldn't help recalling the scene of being hugged and kissed by Yu Hanjiang just now.

Xiao Lou touched the lips that still held the warmth of the other party, and closed his eyes in embarrassment. Fortunately, there was no tacit understanding, otherwise, if Yu Hanjiang knew that he had been reminiscing about the kiss just now, how embarrassing would it be? In the future, if you have a tacit understanding, you have to be cautious.

In fact, Yu Hanjiang didn't fall asleep either.

Brother Nine had always disliked him for being "single based on his strength", saying that he was a hard rock and no one would like him. But now, the hard rock has also got the hang of it. He learned to care for and protect a person, his heart beats because of the approach of the other person, and he is ecstatic because the confession is accepted.

For him, Xiao Lou is the only warm color in the dark world, and also the only weakness under his hard armor.

Xiao Lou on the next bed was breathing evenly and seemed to have fallen asleep.

The corner of Yu Hanjiang's mouth raised a slight smile, and he said in his heart: Xiao Lou, if one day we can really go back, I want to take you home to meet my parents and tell them—this is my favorite Man, I will spend this life with him in peace.

...

The next morning, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang woke up with obvious dark circles under their eyes.

The two looked at each other, and looked away embarrassedly at the same time.

The dream last night was indescribable. It may be that both of them are in love for the first time, and they have experienced their first kiss. After all, they are young men with vigorous blood, so they think about it every day and dream at night.

After each took a cold shower, the two calmed down and went to have breakfast...lunch together as if nothing had happened.

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi had finished their lunch at the restaurant on the 7th floor. Seeing Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang coming, Shao Qingge passed by them, and smiled in a low voice: "You two, I didn't see you at breakfast today. What did you do when you went back last night? Did you just wake up?"

Shao Qingge just asked casually, but the two were guilty after all. Thinking of what happened last night, Xiao Lou's ears couldn't help but turn red. Yu Hanjiang pretended to be calm and said: "It's nothing, we discussed the next plan."

Shao Qingge glanced at Xiao Lou's red ears with a half-smile, and said, "It seems that you guys discussed it late last night. Team Yu has always had a regular schedule and slept until twelve o'clock in the noon. This is the first time. "

Ye Qi seriously suggested: "Don't work too hard, go to bed earlier."

Xiao Lou: "..."

In fact, they didn't go to bed late, it's just that both of them suffered from insomnia, and Xiao Lou was too embarrassed to tell the truth, so he casually said, "Go back to your room quickly after eating, Xiaoye, pay attention to safety."

At this moment, Xiao Lou saw Tang Ci coming to the restaurant in a wheelchair. Shao Qingge and Ye Qi went back to the room after saying hello. Tang Ci pretended not to know Xiao Lou and the others, and went to eat next to him.

A message was sent in the chat group, and Tang Ci said: "A friend from the Intelligence Agency told me a clue. On the Challenger Forum, someone sent a message to some teams to call everyone to have a party at the Sun City Beach Bar at 1 o'clock in the morning tonight. I don't know. what to do."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, he picked up his phone, and sent a message using Tang Ci's self-made chat software: "Could it be because of this stampede that the challengers are aware of the crisis, and they want to discuss countermeasures to deal with hunters?" Killer?"

Tang Ci said: "There is a possibility."

In the hotel room, Lao Mo saw the message and said, "Challenger organization, except Mr. Gui's Faraway Association, the Luoying Pavilion composed of girls, and the mysterious Eternal Kingdom, most of the challengers still act in teams. .I received many challengers when I was in Moon City, and they were not very willing to join this kind of organization."

Qu Wanyue said: "If it were me, I wouldn't want to join. Although the organization can be used as a backer, there are still many rules that need to be followed. Moreover, we are not familiar with other people in the organization. Team activities like ours are the best. Free."

Tang Ci said: "According to the statistics of the Intelligence Agency, challengers who did not join large organizations and only acted as a team accounted for nearly half of the total number. This number is quite large. If these scattered teams unite to deal with hunting Or, what kind of consequences it will cause, we cannot predict."

Like Xiao Lou and his team, teammates have always been the first element. In secret rooms such as spades and clubs, when encountering other challenger teams, they also try not to meddle in their own business—be alone, protect themselves and their teammates, and believe It is also the idea of ​​most challengers.

However, this stampede was too cruel and may cause a large number of challengers to be wary.

When Xue was young, they could still "sweep the snow in front of their own doors", but once the snow was heavy enough to crush everyone's houses, if they didn't unite, they could only wait to be broken one by one.

Xiao Lou said worriedly: "Most of the cards in the main city are banned, and some are not banned. Therefore, if the challenger really confronts the hunter organization openly, the number of casualties will definitely exceed imagination."

The challengers all have cards in their hands, and there are quite a few cards that can be used in the main city. Just like that day, Ye Qi controlled a group of people with a piano music box. If other teams can survive to this day, they must have some powerful cards in their hands .

The hunter blatantly bullied the challenger. The stampede killed more than 500 people and injured more than 1000. If the challengers are out of anger, the United

Together to massacre the aborigines of this world, the consequences will be disastrous!

Xiao Lou recalled that during the financial crisis of 3 of Spades, the Gatekeeper of Spades had shown them some pictures——

In order to clear the level, some challengers directly released zombie virus in the central square, infecting everyone into zombies; some people slaughtered the aborigines recklessly, just like killing mobs in a game, and did not regard the aborigines of this world as human beings at all. look……

Among the challengers, there are also some thugs who survived by any means.

The hatred between the hunter and the challenger is now as deep as the sea. If the two sides really openly fight, the innocent people will only be those ordinary people who do not have cards. These people are not NPCs or a bunch of data in the game, they also have emotions and consciousness.

Xiao Lou asked in the group: "Shall we go and have a look?"

Yu Hanjiang agreed: "We can put on the invisibility cloak and take a look, we don't know what they want to do in this rally."

Ye Qi worriedly said: "Could it be hunters again? Deliberately lure out the challenger team, want to have another massacre?"

Tang Ci said: "It should not be this time. The challenger forum needs strict certification. The news of the gathering is only spread within the forum. Moreover, the participants should be challengers with good strength. Even if the hunters appear, they will be outnumbered. , was jointly killed by the challenger."

He paused for a moment, and then reminded: "I am in a wheelchair and cannot move around. If you want to go to the scene, I can send you the location of the bar. Although this is an internal meeting of the challengers, you should also be careful. If not, retreat immediately."

Yu Hanjiang said: "There are so many people that it is inconvenient to move, I can go with Xiao Lou."

Teammates have no problem with that either.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang made preparations, and at one o'clock in the morning that night, they arrived at the Binhai Bar on time.

This bar is very large, with two floors, and the beach is outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. Usually, many people come to the bar to listen to music, eat barbecue, and drink beer all night. 】 brand.

According to the intelligence agency's investigation, this bar was opened by a challenger.

The gate was locked, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou couldn't get in. They had no choice but to put on the invisibility cloak, fly up to the roof, and throw the bug on the roof to listen carefully to the movement inside.

I only heard a woman say excitedly: "The hunter is really too much! In this stampede accident, a school girl I knew was trampled to death by my own people. What did they think of us?!"

A middle-aged male voice said: "I am the captain of a team. One of my teammates died at the concert, and another was seriously injured in the hospital. I thought we could live in peace with people in this world." , but they are becoming more and more ruthless, we can no longer sit still!"

"Yeah, so many captains gathered today, everyone should discuss a countermeasure!"

"I think we should get rid of this woman Luo Yan first! If she hadn't opened a concert and deliberately sold tickets at a low price, she wouldn't have attracted so many challengers who love to watch the excitement to go to the scene and be trampled to death. It's the upper echelons of the hunters!"

"You think Luo Yan is so easy to kill? You should have run away after the accident, we can't even find her now..."

A group of people were chattering, and there was a lot of noise inside the bar.

At this moment, a deep and calm voice suddenly said: "Everyone, don't get excited. I am not organizing this gathering of scattered people to incite you to directly confront the Hunter Alliance. Doing that will not do us any good .”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, the voice seemed familiar?

The two took a closer look through the skylight on the roof——

I saw a man wearing a silver mask, sitting on the stage where the singers were singing in a bar, with a slight smile on his lips, he said loudly: "Who are the Hunter Alliance, and what are their strengths? No knowledge. The most terrifying opponent is always an unknown opponent. Therefore, I do not recommend that you kill Luo Yan impulsively, or kill those hunters with totems to vent their anger. This is not fundamentally Solve the problem."

His words made sense, and the people at the scene were gradually soothed by his voice, and their emotions quickly calmed down.

A girl said: "Baihu, don't be so secretive, you chatted with us privately on the forum, let's get together and have a meeting in this bar, what exactly do you want to say?"

The man glanced across the audience, and a smile appeared in the long and narrow eyes behind the mask: "Don't worry, I'm about to say. There is only one way to solve the problem—leave this world."

There was a neat gasp from the bar.

Someone couldn't help complaining: "Isn't this nonsense? If you can leave this world, who the hell wants to stay here!"

The masked man said calmly: "The hunters have a very strong hostility towards us 'outsiders'. I don't know the reason for this hostility. However, if we change our position, when our homeland is destroyed by some strange Strange people with supernatural powers have invaded, these people can easily replace our relatives and friends around us, and kill them, and replace them with you, are you afraid?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The man turned around and sat on the sofa, and said: "If one day you suddenly wake up and find that your city is inexplicably in financial crisis; or one day you go to the hospital to see a doctor, and a parasitic infection suddenly breaks out...all of this will happen. It's because of foreigners, do you hate them?"

Everyone: "..."

The man said slowly: "Since we are 'outsiders', we don't belong to this world, so,

Let's go back to the original world, where the two worlds operate independently without interfering with each other, which is the fundamental solution to the problem. "

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were shocked when they heard his theory.

This man's opinion is indeed a way of thinking. If according to his speculation, all accidents in this card world are due to the arrival of the challenger, then, for the people of this world-killing the challenger is the most important thing. It is equivalent to driving away the intruder.

They are just protecting their homeland.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "Hanjiang, do you still have any impression of this person?"

It's finally not called "Team Yu"...

Yu Hanjiang was very relieved, nodded and said: "I remember, the masked man I met in Liuxi Village had a card in his hand that could be used to extract things from the air, and he also took away our gemstones. , When we chose the main city, we chose the Moon City, and he insisted on choosing the Sun City, so I didn’t expect to meet him again here.”

Xiao Lou admired Yu Hanjiang's memory very much. Maybe Yu Hanjiang remembered all the people he met along the way as "suspects"? He said softly: "This person's thoughts are quite interesting, do you want to talk to him?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, wait until they finish their meeting."

The captains of the free challenger team gathered in the bar. After the man finished his theory, he told everyone a way: "Everyone try to clear the SS-level secret room and return to the real world, so that you don't have to face the hunter again." No. It’s not going to work to stay here, we don’t belong to this world after all.”

Many captains thought that what he said for a long time was all nonsense.

At 2:30 in the morning, the challengers from all walks of life dispersed spontaneously. Many of them had Qinggong cards and were elusive. They did not attract the attention of some aborigines who were barbecued on the beach.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou glanced at each other, fell down from the roof lightly, and entered the bar side by side.

The bar is very warmly decorated, the walls and roof are covered with green plants, and a man wearing a mask is sitting leisurely beside him and slowly drinking a glass of cocktail. Yu Hanjiang walked up behind him and whispered: "What a coincidence, we meet again gone."

The man turned his head and looked at the two of them: "Who are you two?"

Xiao Lou reminded: "We have cooperated in Liuxi Village before."

The man was startled, his eyes full of doubts: "Really? I have no impression of the two of you."

Yu Hanjiang asked: "Do you have a card in your hand that can be used to retrieve things from the air?"

The man smiled and shook his head: "No, the two of you may have identified the wrong person. Would you like to sit down and have a drink?"

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou felt a little strange. With their ability to recognize people, they should not be mistaken. Although the man in Liuxi Village also wore a mask, his height, body shape, and pattern on the mask were all the same... The most important thing is, The voice is also the same as that person.

Did he pretend not to know him on purpose, or did he lose his memory?

The two sat down and chatted with him casually, and found that this person didn't look like an actor, so Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou returned to the hotel with doubts.

*****

【Chapter 370, White Fox】

Tang Ci's intelligence bureau collected a lot of information about the challenger, and the two decided to ask Mr. Tang.

They heard a key name "White Fox" on the roof just now, which should be just a code name.

Tang Ci stayed up all the time, waiting for them to come back.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang knocked on Tang Ci's door, and Yu Hanjiang asked bluntly, "Mr. Tang, have you heard of the white fox?"

Tang Ci frowned slightly, turned on the laptop, and said, "I know this person, he is a well-known expert in the Challenger Forum, and the ID he uses in the forum is called Baihu, and he posted a lot of strategies for clearing various low-level secret rooms. , so he has a certain prestige among novices. In addition, he bought a bar on the seaside of Sun City to do business in this world."

Xiao Loudao: "This challenger gathering was called by him. It should be that he sent private messages to some challenger team captains who often hang out in the forum. Since we don't go to the forum, we didn't receive private messages."

"I didn't receive the private message either. Someone from the Intelligence Bureau received it and reported it to me." Tang Ci paused, wondering, "Why, is there a problem with this person? He organized this gathering to call on challengers and Hunters duel, or do you have other plans?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said: "He asked the challenger to try to clear the secret room and leave this world. His theory is quite interesting. He believes that we 'outsiders' are equivalent to invaders. In fact, our existence disturbs the aborigines. The peaceful life even brought them various disasters. Only when we leave, the two worlds will return to peace."

Xiao Loudao: "I think his statement can also be established in theory. When you think about it carefully, it is true that wherever we go, there will be troubles. Homicides, disasters, financial crises, and biochemical doomsday. We go to the secret room to solve the problem, but think about it the other way around, could it be because we are going to pass the secret room that the gatekeepers have to create these problems and let us solve them?"

If there is trouble first, let them help solve it...

Or is it deliberately creating trouble in order to let them pass the level?

If it is the latter, then they have indeed brought disaster to the aborigines.

Be it the financial crisis or the Zerg invasion, the number of casualties and injuries of the aborigines is simply incalculable!

Yu Hanjiang continued: "The strange thing is that we have seen him in the secret room of 4 of spades in Liuxi Village, but he doesn't seem to have any impression of us. I don't think he is pretending. I shouldn't be mistaken. Has he lost his memory?"

Tang Ci listened to the words of the two, and if there was something

Thoughtfully, he opened an email—it contained an investigation report on the white fox.

He has noticed this person named Baihu a long time ago. After all, this person is very active in the forum. He has written so many clearance strategies for the challengers with all his heart. Some strategies are even more detailed than the version of the Intelligence Bureau. Raiders, passing all B-level secret rooms is not a problem. As long as the B-level secret rooms are all clear, at least you can get a lot of good cards, and the hope of passing the week is even greater.

Now he convened a large gathering of challenger captains to persuade them to continue to pass the level and leave this world...

It felt like the man, as if he couldn't wait to talk the challengers away.

According to the investigation report, Baihu, whose real name is "Bai Jinyu", is 30 years old, and in reality is a teacher of the Chinese Department of the university; strangely, no information can be found about his teammates.

Tang Ci was able to invade the ID card management system of the card world, find out the ID numbers of all the challengers, and follow the clues to find out the teammates who were with them. reason.

But Baihu... seems to have opened a bar in Sun City by himself and lived a leisurely life.

No one is close to him.

No matter how secret it is, the Intelligence Agency has eyeliners all over the world, and it is impossible not to find any clues.

Tang Ci turned off the data interface and said; "This person is very strange, either he is not a challenger at all, or... his teammates have all died, and he is left alone. If this is the case, the weekly weekly tasks, He's going to have a hard time getting through."

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and looked at each other.

Xiao Lou was very confused; "How should we explain what we saw him in Liuxi Village?"

Tang Ci said: "When you saw him, it should be more than a month ago, right?"

The time flow rate of different secret rooms often changes, but the main city remains unchanged. It was a month ago that Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to Moon City and were discovered by the Intelligence Bureau. At that time, they happened to finish the dungeon of 4 of Spades Liuxi Village.

Then, they met the masked man in Liuxi Village, probably more than a month ago.

Xiao Lou nodded: "Yes."

Tang Ci said: "But the investigation data shows that this Bai Jinyu has been opening a bar in Sun City for half a year."

Xiao Lou: "..."

how so?

The prerequisite for entering the main city is to pass the fourth level. The masked man they met in the fourth level should be a novice who has never been to the main city. But Bai Jinyu stayed in the main city for half a year, obviously he passed the fourth level half a year ago.

However, the voices, eyes, and masks of the two are so similar. Could there be such a coincidence?

Xiao Lou suddenly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that he has a twin brother or brother?"

Hearing these words, Yu Hanjiang suddenly thought of something: "I remember, in the square piece 4 secret room [Balanced World], there is a mechanism called a balance, and the two balances must have the same weight to open the door. The solution to the mechanism is that two people lie on it sideways together , the center of gravity is in the middle, so as to ensure that the weights of the two scales are equal. Xiao Lou’s reaction was fast enough at that time, but we did not break the record at that level.”

Xiao Lou also remembered this incident, and said: "We asked the gatekeeper of the square piece, and she said that the best result of square piece 4 balancing the world was 5 minutes faster than ours, because the two challengers are twins. , look exactly the same, and weigh exactly 62 kilograms, they just need to stand directly on the balance to pass the level."

Thinking back to the masked man just now, he is about 1.75 meters tall, with a thin body, and his estimated weight is about 60 kilograms.

Could it be that these twins are the ones who broke the world record for 4 squares balance? And what they met in Liuxi Village was the other twin, so they recognized each other, but Bai Jinyu didn't recognize them.

But why are twins separated?

There seems to be many secrets hidden in this person.

Tang Ci thought for a while, and said: "I will let the people in the intelligence bureau continue to pay attention to this white fox. If he really has a twin, and the two brothers often exchange identities, they may be missed by our intelligence network and regarded as one. people."

Xiao Lou couldn't figure out the reason for this for the time being.

Attended this early morning rally and it's now Thursday.

At 0 o'clock on Saturday, Zhou Chang's secret room will be opened, and they have no time to pay attention to other things.

Tang Ci looked at the two of them and said, "Let's go back and rest first. Guilao and Huaying are almost ready. Brother Jiu has been undercover in the Hunter Alliance. I am worried that he will be in danger. He must return to the team as soon as possible."

Yu Hanjiang also agrees with this; "Okay, he told me not to contact him for the time being, and I don't dare to open the Absolute Realm to find him casually. I can only wait for midnight on Saturday and directly use the contract to pull him into Zhou Chang."

Xiao Lou thought to himself, I hope this week, spades or clubs can be randomly picked.

Only Spades and Plum Blossom Chambers can use the Insect King Card to heal Tang Ci's leg injury and let Tang Ci recover his strongest combat power as soon as possible. But if they are unlucky and randomly get hearts or diamonds, they can only grit their teeth and pass the level together.
