The Secret Chamber of the Card Game

The private room where Ye Qi and Chu Huaying were located was right next to the bed, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they could clearly see the crowd in the square.

Chu Huaying thought about the prompt in the floating frame, frowned and said: "The task requires us to find all the hunters, Xiao Lou is the first one, obviously there are others, will other teammates also be caught by the hunters?" replaced?"

Ye Qi agreed very much: "I also think this possibility is very high. Sister Ying, have you met other teammates?"

Chu Huaying shook her head: "When I woke up, I happened to be on the bridge where the accident happened. I was driving on the road and was almost hit by a big truck. After avoiding the truck, I immediately rushed to this western restaurant to wait. People, I didn’t contact other teammates on the road.”

Ye Qi briefly told her about his experience after coming to the secret room: "When I woke up, I called Mr. Shao first, then went to the Medical University next door to find Liu Qiao, and at noon, I went to Jiangzhou Criminal Police Team to find Team Yu. , I ran into Professor Xiao in the afternoon. Except for Professor Xiao who was pretending to be a hunter, the other three people didn't know me, and they didn't look like they were acting."

Chu Huaying raised her eyebrows: "I don't even know you? Shouldn't I lose my memory?"

"It shouldn't be amnesia." Ye Qi analyzed seriously: "I guess, Mr. Shao, Liu Qiao, and Team Yu are not hunters. What we encountered is more likely to be them from the past. Their memories stayed on December 12th. At that time, the three of them really hadn’t seen me, and it’s normal not to know me. Sister Ying, you are a real person and traveled to the world on December 24th, so you can recognize me.”

Chu Huaying analyzed for a long time like listening to his tongue twister, and finally understood: "That is to say, the current time in this world is December 12th. According to common sense, everyone has not been drawn into the card world at that time, and they have not met. Naturally, we don’t know each other. Those who can know each other, either the teammates have crossed into this secret room, or they were replaced by the hunters—the hunters know our information.”

Ye Qi nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's what I thought."

Chu Huaying simply got up: "That's easy to handle. Except for Mr. Shao, Liu Qiao and Team Yu, we will eliminate the remaining teammates one by one. Those who know us but don't match the code are most likely Hunters pretending to be. The mission goal of our world is to find all the hunters, so far, your idea is quite reliable."

Ye Qi, who was recognized, was very happy. He glanced at Xiao Lou, who was knocked unconscious by a knife across the seat, scratched his hair in distress, and asked, "Professor Xiao, what should we do?"

Chu Huaying said coldly: "The hunter may have his own contact information. With him, he may call his companions to attack us at any time..." She frowned and thought about it, and made a suggestion: "How about this, first find a place to lock him up, take away all the cards on his body, and after we find all the hunters, we will think carefully about how to deal with these people."

Ye Qi nodded and said, "Let's see if he has any cards first."

Chu Huaying supported Xiao Lou with one hand, and felt in the pocket of his trousers with the other hand. Sure enough, she found a familiar card bag. She took out the card bag and put it on the table. Ye Qi opened it, and suddenly wide-eyed—

Tao Yuanming, Bai Juyi, Li Qingzhao, Liu Yong, Qin Guan, Su Shi, Lu Yu, Li Bai...

The ancient style character cards with unique painting style are neatly arranged in the card bag. In addition, there are also the [Fast Wind] running shoes given to him by Team Yu, the S-level tool card [Compasses] drawn early, and some unknown Used low-level cards such as [Fruit Knife] and [Rose Perfume].

Chu Huaying was also stunned after seeing these cards: "Isn't this the card pack of Professor Xiao?"

Ye Qi's expression was complicated: "That's right, Professor Xiao is used to putting [Tao Yuanming] [Bai Juyi] on the first page, many character cards are unique, this must be Professor Xiao's card pack...But why would the hunter take Where is Professor Xiao's card bag?"

He paused, and suddenly his back felt cold: "Professor Xiao must have had an accident!"

I remember that Xiao Lou and Team Yu had analyzed before that the source of the hunter's card was most likely to kill the challenger and seize the opponent's card. Now, Xiao Lou's card is on this "fake Xiao Lou". Could it be that the real Xiao Lou has been...

Chu Huaying interrupted Ye Qi's thoughts: "Impossible. Don't forget that Xiao Lou is currently the owner of the contract and our captain. Once he dies, the ownership of the contract will be automatically transferred to the second signer. , the floating box will also tell us the news of the captain’s replacement.”

Ye Qi was startled, and couldn't help wondering: "How does Miss Ying know this?"

There was a flash of pain in Chu Huaying's eyes, but he calmed down quickly, and said: "Our captain has changed. In the beginning, our captain was not Brother Jiu, but a very prestigious senior. Unfortunately, in the black In Tao 10 level, she sacrificed, and the captain was automatically handed over to Brother Nine, and everyone received a system prompt to change the captain."

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Qi fell silent, and didn't ask any more details about this matter.However, according to Sister Ying, the real Xiao Lou must still be alive, otherwise the contract would be transferred to Yu Hanjiang who signed the second contract.

Chu Huaying said: "Xiao Lou's card bag is in the hands of this hunter. Fortunately, we are careful enough. Otherwise, we might have died if he asked him to use the card skills just now."

Ye Qi suddenly realized a detail: "Suppose there are only you and me in this world, and the hunter knows the number of challengers in this world. The moment he saw you just now, he would definitely use a card to forcefully control us. But he didn't do that, which means there must be other teammates in this world—he wants to wait for everyone to show up, and then catch us all?"

Chu Huaying looked at Ye Qi appreciatively: "It makes sense. He didn't kill us directly. He probably didn't want to startle us, but wanted to attract everyone before doing anything. It is very likely that the hunter's task in this world is to kill us. Let's wipe them all out."

The two discussed it and finally decided on the next course of action.

Chu Huaying said: "I have not been in your team for a long time. I am not familiar with Long Sen, Qu Wanyue, and Lao Mo, but I know where Lao Gui and Xiao Tang live. I can go to them first."

"Brother Long is a coach at a sports school, and sister Qu is at the largest dance training center in Jiangzhou. Uncle Mo seems to have opened an independent design studio called..." Ye Qi paused, and soon remembered what Old Mo had mentioned. The real name of the studio I have been to is "Xinran Design, his daughter's name is Mo Xinran, and she is a student of No. [-] Middle School."

"Got it, come one by one."

"Uh, Brother Nine seems to be missing, right?" Ye Qi remembered that Sister Huaying didn't mention Brother Nine.

"Lu Jiuchuan died accidentally during a mission three years ago. Today, we are in the world on December 12, a year ago. If you want to find Brother Jiu, you can only go to the Martyrs Cemetery to visit the grave." Chu Huaying explained lightly , "Once he appears in front of us, there is no doubt that Lu Jiuchuan, who cheated the corpse, must be the hunter."

"..." Ye Qi blushed, and almost forgot the key point. Brother Jiu died much earlier than the current timeline, so in this world, it is absolutely impossible for Lu Jiuchuan to appear.

"Let's go, hurry up." Huaying's physical fitness has been strengthened by cards, and she can easily break a person's neck.Her arms looked slender, but she was able to support Xiao Lou with one hand, and it didn't seem difficult at all to drag a man over 1.8 meters tall.

Ye Qi covered Xiao Lou's tied hands with a coat, and the two took Xiao Lou to the underground garage, where they found the car that Chu Huaying had driven.The passenger seat on the right side of the black car was bumped into a big dent. It was conceivable how dangerous she was when she first entered the secret room. If she reacted a second slower, she might really die again.

Chu Huaying drove the car all the way, and soon came to the Nanhua community where she lived.

After going upstairs, Ye Qi took a quick look at her room—a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. At first glance, it looked like a single girl's residence, and it was very clean and tidy.One is a bedroom, and the other is a study room with a cool game console. Ye Qi's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Sister Ying, is your computer a Halloween limited edition that was released this year?"

Chu Huaying nodded: "Yes."

Ye Qi touched the mainframe enviously. He also likes to play games, but the student party has no money, so he is embarrassed to ask his parents for money to buy such an expensive machine. This mainframe is always in his shopping cart.However, now is not the time to worry about these things, Ye Qi quickly withdrew his hand and asked, "Where are you going to hide Professor Xiao? Do you need help?"

"No, lock him in the study first." Chu Huaying took a clean towel and stuffed it into Xiao Lou's mouth, then tore off a sheet, tied Xiao Lou's five flowers into a big rice dumpling, and fixed it on the gaming chair in the study Come on, lock the doors and windows, and draw the curtains.

In this way, Xiao Lou could hardly fly.

After doing all this, Chu Huaying waved to Ye Qi: "Go, find someone."

Ye Qi immediately followed her in a hurry.

Chu Huaying took out her mobile phone and searched for possible places where her teammates might appear, and said, "Let's start looking for the nearest one. I found a Xinran designer studio nearby, and Lao Mo might be there."

Ye Qi nodded: "Well, let's go to Uncle Mo first."

Chu Huaying drove the car to the door of Xinran's studio very quickly. She parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road and walked into the studio side by side with Ye Qi. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a middle-aged man working seriously in front of the computer. When modifying the blueprint, Ye Qi was about to call "Uncle Mo", but Chu Huaying stopped him with gestures, but stepped forward, took off his sunglasses, and asked calmly, "Hello, is this Mr. Mo?"

Mo Xuemin raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes. Hello, what do you two need help with? Do you want to decorate and design?"

Chu Huaying glanced at Ye Qi, Ye Qi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Uh, my sister just bought a two-bedroom house and one living room recently, and I want to ask a professional designer to design it..."

Chu Huaying simply drew the floor plan of her house on paper: "Look, this is the floor plan. The area of ​​the house is relatively small. I want to expand the space through reasonable design."

Mo Xuemin glanced at the drawings, nodded and said, "No problem, I will usually produce renderings within three days, you can first talk about your favorite style..."

Chu Huaying and Lao Mo chatted about house design, Ye Qi listened carefully, and finally, the two paid the deposit, turned around and walked out of the studio, Chu Huaying shook his head at Ye Qi: "This old Mo, it seems Still the one from the past."

Ye Qi was not discouraged: "What about the next one?"

Chu Huaying said: "Find senior."

The old Mr. Gui lived in a rather secluded place, a villa with a Chinese-style building. When the two came to the door, they were told: "Mr. Gui is on a lecture tour across the country and will not be home until next month."

Immediately afterwards, Chu Huaying found Tang Ci's company responsible for developing intelligent robots, and the news he got was: "Tang Ci is on a business trip."

Those who are not in Jiangzhou are definitely not the same copy, and those who don't recognize them are naturally not teammates themselves.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue were left.

Ye Qi saw a building at the corner of the street in front of him, on which was written "Boya Art Training Center". He remembered that Mr. Qu was working as a dance teacher in this largest art center. It was almost time to get off work, and Ye Qi hurriedly said: " Let's go to see Teacher Qu."

Chu Huaying went upstairs with Ye Qi.

The two came to the front desk, and Ye Qi asked, "Hi, is Teacher Qu Wanyue in, please? Our child wants to enroll in a dance class."

The girl at the front desk smiled and said, "Teacher Qu is in class, you two can go to the lounge and wait for a while."

Ye Qi followed the receptionist to the lounge, and after waiting for about 10 minutes, Qu Wanyue and a man came in side by side - Long Sen was also there, which was a coincidence, they didn't have to go to the sports school to find Long Sen .

After seeing Ye Qi and Chu Huaying, Qu Wanyue quickened her pace and walked up to Ye Qi, and said with a smile, "I was planning to find everyone after class, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

Long Sen next to him scratched his head and asked, "Where are the others?"

Ye Qi and Chu Huaying looked at each other, thinking at the same time, Long Qu and his wife happened to be together, and they recognized themselves.Are they the teammates they are looking for?Or, hunter?
