Card Room

【Chapter 399, Inference】

Lu Jiuchuan also agrees with Xiao Lou's analysis. During the period when he was undercover in the hunter organization, he always suspected that these people might be mixed with challengers. In the previous weekly missions, the hunter companions who acted with him were very The way to use the cards is very familiar, maybe the challenger taught them.

Now, the appearance of the twin brothers Bai Jinyu further confirmed Lu Jiuchuan's guess.

Lu Jiuchuan thought for a while, then looked back at Yu Hanjiang: "Why don't you just arrest these two brothers and interrogate them carefully? So many murderous criminals have been interrogated by you to confess obediently. If you come to interrogate them, I don't believe that they have nothing to do. explain."

Yu Hanjiang did not approve of his brother's simple and rude approach: "Bai Jinyu discovered the surveillance, and he is now on guard. We don't know the details of this person at all. If we rashly arrest him, we may fall into his trap instead. I always feel that , Behind Bai Jinyu, there may be a force stronger than we imagined."

Xiao Lou also said: "Brother Nine, what Han Jiang said makes sense. At present, Bai Jinyu is not directly against us. Whether he is a hunter or on the side of the challenger, his position is actually not clear... or Is it better to find out and then act?"

Lu Jiuchuan smiled lightly and glanced at Yu Hanjiang: "Okay, anyway, you two sing together, I can't say no to you."

Long Sen was stunned for a moment: "Fu... what is it?"

Qu Wanyue poked his arm and coughed: "Let's go back first, so as not to worry everyone."

Long Sen is still wondering if Brother Nine's phrase "the husband sings and the husband follows" is a joke. Although his Chinese performance is not good enough, is it more appropriate to describe the two men as "one sings and one harmonizes"? Doesn't "Fu Chang Fu Sui" describe a husband and wife?

It seems that Jiu Ge's Chinese is even worse than him.

Long Sen came to a conclusion, and when he looked back, he saw that Xiao Lou's ears were slightly red. He wondered if it was too hot, so Long Sen thoughtfully helped Professor Xiao open the window.

At this time, it is summer in Sun City.

It was close to six o'clock in the morning, and the first ray of dawn in the morning broke through the clouds and gently sprinkled on the sea surface, dyeing the azure sea water into an orange-red color. Lu Jiuchuan was driving on the wide seaside road, along the way there were coconut trees, and the sea breeze blowing towards his face carried the smell of damp sea water.

Xiao Lou turned his head and looked, the scenery of City of Sun was quite different from City of Moon. It was a typical seaside city, and it was more beautiful than any seaside city he had been to in reality.

The sea water here is crystal clear, the blue sky seems to be dyed with paint, the beach is white and delicate, and there are many beautiful shells scattered around. I also lived a relaxed and leisurely life without the pressure of reality.

Along the endless coastline, there are many specially built holiday villas. I heard that the house price is still very cheap. With Shao Qingge's savings in his card now, it will not be a problem for them to each buy a villa and settle here...

No wonder there are challengers willing to stay in this world.

As Xiao Lou thought about it, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, as if some clue had surfaced. Then, a few words gradually became clear in his mind, and he blurted out: "Eternal Kingdom?"

When the teammates heard this, they all looked at him suspiciously.

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice: "What did you think of?"

Xiao Lou came back to his senses and said: "Eternal Kingdom, I remember Lao Mo once mentioned that the goal of the members of this guild is not to clear the customs and return to the real world, but to stay in the card world and continue to survive. Many of them are in the card world. In this world, people buy cars and houses, and some people even marry the aborigines of the card world?"

Yu Hanjiang pondered for a moment, and said, "You mean, the hunter organization is probably related to this guild?"

Xiao Lou nodded: "Eternal Kingdom, the ultimate goal of this challenger organization is to stay in the card world. They are attracted by the beauty of the card world, and have completely given up everything in reality, even their relatives. Therefore, They despise the laws of the human world and kill innocent people indiscriminately, so there is no psychological barrier."

As early as when he came to Moon City, Lao Mo had introduced them to the three major Challenger Associations.

The Eternal Kingdom has indeed gathered a group of challengers who want to stay in the card world.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Xiao Lou can't comment that it was a wrong choice for them to stay here. After all, he wants to return to reality because he still has concerns in reality, but what if some people live unsatisfactorily in the real world?

For example, in reality, you are too poor to afford a house, you don’t have a decent job, you don’t have a harmonious family member or a memorable lover, or you suffer too much torture in reality...

For these people, isn't the card world a paradise?

Sometimes, heaven and hell are just a thought away.

For those who live unsatisfactorily in reality, the card world is equivalent to giving them a chance to be reborn. They only need to clear the secret room, get powerful cards, and swipe some gold coins in the plum blossom level to have My own house, car, and even find a boyfriend or girlfriend here to fall in love and get married.

They are here and live a much happier life than in reality, why should they go back?

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Jiuchuan said, "I've heard of the Challenger Association of the Eternal Kingdom. They really set the goal of staying here and settling down. Most of the challengers of the Eternal Kingdom will be stuck at around the eighth level. , after passing the eighth level, you can get enough good cards to deal with Zhou Chang."

Qu Wanyue said: "That is to say, after they pass the eighth level, they stop and don't break through again? After that, they only need to complete the weekly routine every Saturday. As long as the team is strong, the weekly routine is not considered for them. Is it difficult?"

"Well, most members of the Eternal Kingdom have cards that can save their lives. Their combat power may not be strong, but their ability to escape is absolutely excellent. It shouldn't be a big problem if they live on a regular basis."

Lu Jiuchuan glanced at Xiao Lou from the rearview mirror, and said, "Professor Xiao suspects that this guild is related to hunters, do you think there are additional conditions for them to stay in the card world?"

Xiao Loudao: "I just made a bold guess, assuming that the real world and the card world are two different spaces. If we challengers want to survive in a different space for a long time, there must be conditions, right? It's like we go abroad It is like getting a green card to settle down. If the card world has a 'green card', how can we obtain permanent residency?"

Qu Wanyue's expression changed: "For example, kill a challenger and get a green card for one year?"

Long Sen's eyes widened: "If this is the case, then some challengers defected and joined the hunter organization to slaughter their own kind, which would be a reasonable explanation. They want to stay here forever, so they killed their own kind in exchange for living time?"

Xiao Lou's face was a little pale: "These are all my guesses. I just think that our understanding of the card world may be too one-sided, because we are all eager to go back, and we will subjectively think that this world is cruel, Not to be missed - but for some, maybe this world is heaven."

There was a moment of silence in the car.

Xiao Lou's bold speculation is indeed possible, and it can reasonably explain many problems.

If this is the case, the size of the hunter organization will only grow bigger and bigger.

Because Lu Jiuchuan knows very well that in the long time of breaking through the level, facing the secret room that is more difficult than the next level, the challengers will be tired and frustrated. Once the teammate dies in front of him, the will to go back will gradually Shaken.

When Plum Blossom J watched his teammate being dismembered with his own eyes, Lu Jiuchuan was also shaken. He thought, it would be better to die here. Although the idea was just a flash, someone like Lu Jiuchuan who is not afraid of death almost gave up. How could a person with an unstable mind insist on completing the S-level level?

After a long period of time and unable to clear the level, people will naturally become numb and have the idea of ​​"it is better to stay in this world".

Maybe in the end, they insisted on clearing the level and became the outliers among the challengers.

Everyone didn't speak any more, and the car quickly arrived at the hotel.

Tang Ci and his group haven't slept yet. After all, their teammates are going to take risks, and they can't sleep with peace of mind.

In fact, on the way, Xiao Lou had already told Ye Qi the result of everyone's investigation through "Talk of Heart".

Ye Qi relayed Xiao Lou's speculation to everyone.

So when the five of Xiao Lou went upstairs, Tang Ci and the others already knew the result.

Tang Ci said straight to the point: "About the Eternal Kingdom, I don't have much information collected here. This association is the most mysterious challenger organization. No one knows who the president is, not even their own people."

Old Mo said: "I only heard that the president of the Eternal Kingdom is very powerful. The weekly tasks are like playing the weekend entertainment bureau. The internal review of their association is very strict, and there are experts who provide a lot of weekly tasks for the members. Customs clearance strategy..."

Gui Yuanzhang frowned and said, "White fox, Bai Jinyu, could it be the high-level executives of this eternal kingdom?"

Tang Ci opened the challenger's internal forum and displayed all the posts posted by Baihu in front of everyone: "He has posted many strategies for secret rooms below A level on the forum, and his identity is a challenger. These two points are indeed in line with the eternal kingdom. style... As for whether he is a high-level executive of the Eternal Kingdom, and whether the Eternal Kingdom will be related or cooperate with the Hunter Organization, I will continue to let the informant watch, and the clues need to be collected slowly."

Chu Huaying said: "Don't worry, anyway, soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, no matter how perverted the hunter organization is, they are still human beings, and human beings have weaknesses. If they dare to chase and kill us, we can find a way to fight back."

Ye Qi glanced at her in admiration: "Sister Ying is right!"

Tang Ci looked at Xiao Lou: "You guys have been tired all night, you should rest first."

Xiao Lou said: "Then everyone sleeps for a while, get up at noon and eat to replenish your strength, and then discuss the next level."

After several hours of mazes and night visits to bars, everyone was really exhausted.

There are also two presidential suites next door to Tang Ci, both of which happened to be vacant, Shao Qingge booked a room with money, and everyone rested in different bedrooms for a few hours.

In a daze, Xiao Lou had a nightmare.

In the dream, he was standing on a wide platform, which looked like a personal space, but the surroundings were pitch black, and only a beam of light was cast from the center, like a follow spot light on a big stage.

Wearing sunglasses, the Ace of Spades put a gun on Yu Hanjiang's forehead, threw another gun to Xiao Lou, and said coldly, "If you want Yu Hanjiang to survive, you must kill Ye Qi."

Xiao Lou was sweating all over his body, but his fingers trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the gun steadily. Xiao Ye was pale and looked at him with pleading eyes. Shao Qingge stood sideways and raised the gun to him.

The four of them faced each other in the dark and empty environment... The oppressive feeling made Xiao Lou almost breathless.

His chest felt tight, as if he had been pressed by a boulder.

Suddenly, gunshots rang out.

I don't know who pulled it first.

Trigger the trigger, Xiao Lou woke up from the nightmare with a fright. When I woke up, the sky was bright outside the window, and it was already noon. Yu Hanjiang sat by the bed and asked him in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Yu Hanjiang was sleeping next door, and when he heard Xiao Lou's voice, he came to see him, only to see Xiao Lou wake up suddenly.

Looking at the familiar man in front of him, Xiao Lou's heartbeat was ridiculously fast, and the picture in the dream was so clear that he couldn't even distinguish the dream from the reality.

Yu Hanjiang noticed that Xiao Lou's cold sweat had already soaked his clothes. He gently stroked Xiao Lou's sweat-drenched hair, and said softly, "Did you think about it every day and dream at night? Last night, I dreamed that my teammates were killed." gone?"

Xiao Lou was a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "It can make you feel so uncomfortable, it must not be a good thing in the dream."

Xiao Lou was relieved by the familiar smell on the man, it was just a dream, he was indeed too nervous.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, let go of Yu Hanjiang, looked at him and asked: "If one day, the gatekeeper or the hunter uses me to blackmail you and ask you to kill a certain teammate, I can live. what would you do?"

Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou unexpectedly, and met those clear and warm eyes.

Perhaps Xiao Lou's nightmare is facing such a cruel choice.

This question is difficult to answer.

He was silent for a moment, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Xiao Lou was stunned: "Don't kick the question back to me, you talk first."

"It doesn't matter what anyone says, because I believe that our answer is also the same." Yu Hanjiang stretched out his arms, hugged Xiao Lou tightly into his arms, and whispered to his ear, "If there is such a day, , I have no ability to save you, they took you as a hostage and threatened me to kill other people, I will choose to kill you with my own hands, and then die with you."

Xiao Lou: "..."

Sure enough, he thought so too.

In an instant, all the depression and discomfort in Xiao Lou's heart dissipated, and were instead replaced by relaxation.

It was just a dream. Yesterday, he deduced how the challenger would change his position to become a hunter, so he dreamed of this dilemma. Perhaps, some people become hunters not voluntarily, but by force. But even if one day he is faced with such a predicament of being forced, Xiao Lou also knows that Yu Hanjiang will not forget his original intention.

If the right to life is obtained by killing innocent people indiscriminately, what is the point of living like that?

Death is not scary.

Terrible is losing your soul and becoming a walking demon.

He heard Yu Hanjiang say: "I know, you don't bother to live in such a disgrace, and so do I."

Xiao Lou smiled, gave a soft "hmm", and stretched out his hand to hug him back.

Yu Hanjiang pressed a kiss on his forehead, tightened his arms, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "Xiao Lou, don't think too much. The hunters we are facing have already lost their humanity, but we still know what we should and should not do." What to do. I always remember that sentence you said a long time ago - the world is crazy, but we are not crazy."

Xiao Lou nodded in his arms.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about, no matter how bad the result is, it is nothing more than the same death. Even if I fail, I will die together in this world... With you on the road to Huangquan, I will not be alone.

The two hugged for a while, Xiao Lou had completely let go of the nightmare, he broke away from Yu Hanjiang's embrace, and suddenly asked, "By the way, does Brother Jiu know about us?"

Yu Hanjiang was very calm: "Yes."

Xiao Lou's ears couldn't help but get hot: "Did you tell him?"

Yu Hanjiang said: "Don't be nervous, he appreciates you very much. Don't worry, he already regards you as his own in his heart."

Xiao Lou paused, and asked anxiously: "Then, when we go back, are you willing to go with me to meet my parents? They are all very good people with gentle personalities."

Yu Hanjiang was taken aback for a moment, and a trace of ecstasy filled his heart. He hugged Xiao Lou tightly again, and whispered in his ear: "You are willing to admit your relationship with me in front of the elders. Of course I wish for it. I also want your parents' approval. Let them know that you have a boyfriend, and that person is Yu Hanjiang."

Xiao Lou: "..."

Originally, a nightmare made Xiao Lou feel very uncomfortable, but now he feels a little sweet in his heart. Yu Hanjiang told his brother about them, and he also wanted to take Yu Hanjiang home and introduce him to his parents. This shows that the two of them are very serious about this relationship, and they both want their beloved to be recognized by the family.

Instead of thinking about those bad things, it's better to be optimistic and think about your plans when you go back.

At this moment, a reminder popped up on the phone, which was a message posted by Tang Ci in the group: "Everyone go downstairs to eat, just take the room card to eat the buffet lunch, and discuss where to go to the next level as soon as possible after the meal."

Having raised their spirits, they are about to meet a new challenge.
