Card Room

Chapter 525, Crisis

Xiao Lou took the car keys, smiled and said to Ye Qi, "Let's go." The man had a gentle smile and a friendly voice. On the surface, he looked no different from the usual Professor Xiao. If Xiao Lou hadn't left a secret code for his teammates in advance, Ye Qi almost believed that this person was Xiao Lou.

However, after experiencing the clone incident in the Q secret room, Ye Qi has become much more cautious. When meeting, confirm the identity of the code first, and do not let emotions get carried away. He pretended to be calm and followed Xiao Lou, smiling and saying, "Okay, let's go there as soon as possible. Maybe Mr. Shao has already arrived."

Ye Qi knew that this was a bit risky, but if he ran away directly now and gave up the key clue of Xiao Lou, he would probably not be able to find other teammates. Moreover, if Xiao Lou really wanted to kill him, would it be useful to just run away? He didn’t even know where his cards were left.

Xiao Lou took Ye Qi downstairs in the elevator, came to the parking area of ​​the school, and drove his white car. Ye Qi consciously sat in the back row.

After getting in the car, Xiao Lou pressed the door lock button without knowing whether it was out of habit or intentional.

Hearing the "click" sound of the car door being locked, Ye Qi's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't push the door open unless the driver unlocked it. In other words, at this moment, he was the only one left in the closed car space. He and Xiao Lou, if Xiao Lou drove him to the wilderness, killed people and abandoned their bodies, then he would be unjust.

Ye Qi calmly lowered half of the car window glass and said with a smile, "The car is a little stuffy. Professor Xiao, can I open the window for a while?" Fortunately, the car's windows can be lowered. If there is real danger, it is also a way to escape through the windows. choose.

Xiao Lou in the front row smiled and said, "It's up to you."

Ye Qi asked casually, "By the way, have you contacted Captain Yu? Do you want to go to the police station to find him?"

As Xiao Lou started the car, he said gently, "We haven't contacted him yet. Since we have agreed to meet at the fountain in the central square, maybe Team Yu has already rushed there. Let's go there first and take a look."

Ye Qi's heart was pounding.

This Xiao Lou, on the surface, looks no different from Professor Xiao, but in fact, he is full of loopholes.

First of all, if he really goes back to the past world, Xiao Lou will definitely contact Yu Hanjiang as soon as possible, because he and Yu Hanjiang have known each other before entering the card world. Xiao Lou knows Yu Hanjiang’s real phone number. Contact Team Yu."

Secondly, since Xiao Lou has restored his identity as Professor Xiao of Jiangzhou Medical University, he will definitely go to the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine to find Liu Qiao as soon as possible. After all, he and Liu Qiao have a teacher-student relationship, and it is very convenient to find someone in the school. However, regarding Liu Qiao, he didn't mention a word. Furthermore, there is naturally a big loophole in the "password verification error". Only the real Xiao Lou and his teammates will know the secret code Xiao Lou whispered in the ears of his teammates. Fortunately, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang were thoughtful and everyone left them before entering the secret room. After giving the secret code, Ye Qi could reveal the "fake Xiaolou" in front of him at a glance.

What confused Ye Qi was that Xiao Lou didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him.

Could it be that he wanted to "lead the snake out of the hole" and use his clue to lure other teammates to solve the problem together?

The more Ye Qi thought about it, the more likely he felt that his conjecture was possible. This could also explain why Xiao Lou suggested that he drive to the fountain in the central square to find his teammates as soon as he heard him say "meet at the fountain."

Ye Qi pretended to turn his head to look at the scenery outside the window, but he was quickly thinking about countermeasures for later.

Christmas is approaching, and the streets are filled with a festive atmosphere. The familiar Jiangzhou City always gives people the illusion of returning to reality.

But Ye Qi knew very well that none of this was true.

The people and things around him were like an extremely clear dream. He had to get out of this dream as soon as possible and find the real Xiao Lou, Liu Qiao and others before he could discuss a way to clear the customs.

After clearing his thoughts, Ye Qi chatted with Xiao Lou one after another, pretending to completely trust Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou, who was driving in the front seat, also chatted with Ye Qi cooperatively. After about half a After many hours, the car finally arrived at the central square.

Xiao Lou found a nearby parking lot to park his car, and then took Ye Qi to the musical fountain in the square.

The central square is the most crowded place in Jiangzhou City. There are several shopping buildings and film and television cities here. Now that December 24 is approaching Christmas, Christmas-themed posters are hung everywhere. The entrance of the shopping mall directly opposite the square still stands There is a huge Christmas tree over two meters tall, covered with colored lights and red socks.

There were many children taking pictures and playing around the musical fountain. Ye Qi looked around and found that he didn't see a familiar face. He pretended to be confused and asked, "Are they not here yet?"

Xiao Lou looked at Ye Qi and said, "Don't worry. Every time you enter the secret room, everyone's refreshed position is uncertain. If your teammates are far away from here and want to rush over, it will take some time." Gentle and calm Professor Xiao , indeed very similar to me.

Ye Qi looked away with complicated emotions and said, "Professor Xiao has had lunch, right?"

Xiao Lou nodded; "Yes, we eat in the school cafeteria."

Ye Qi rubbed his stomach in distress, and his stomach grumbled twice in time. Ye Qi said sheepishly, "It was already past the meal time when I went to the cafeteria at noon, and I didn't make it in time for lunch. I hurriedly came to Jiangzhou Medical University to find you. I found out that you had a public lecture in the afternoon, so I went to the classroom to wait for you."

Xiao Lou heard his stomach growling with hunger and couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you hungry?"

Ye Qi scratched his hair helplessly, and explained with a red face, "I have experienced the nightmare chamber before, and I was hungry for seven days in a row; last time Mr. Shao and I were sent to a world of famine, and we had to eat leaves every day to survive.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m too hungry, but now whenever I don’t eat a meal on time, my stomach will start to protest.”

Xiao Lou said understandingly, "You may have a stomachache from hunger. Let's do this. Our teammates aren't here anyway. Let's go eat first."

Ye Qi looked around, pointed to the Western restaurant on the top floor of the shopping building near the square, and said, "Can I eat Western food? I heard from my classmates that the steaks and pasta in this store are super delicious."

Xiao Lou said, "Okay, I'll treat you."

Ye Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be excited as he led Xiao Lou to the western restaurant.

The "musical fountain" he just mentioned when giving the password is naturally false. The meeting place Xiao Lou has set is the largest Western restaurant in the city, and the largest Western restaurant in Jiangzhou City happens to be in the central square area. More importantly, The best thing is that the location of this western restaurant can completely see the landscape of the square.

Assuming there are other teammates in this world, they will definitely come to the meeting point and wait for them. Ye Qi and Xiao Lou appeared at the fountain in the square, and their teammates could see their actions from the French restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Ye Qi pretends to be hungry and rubs his belly, which is a danger warning.

The most ideal situation is that there happens to be a real teammate waiting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor at this time, and he sees Ye Qi's secret code. Then, he will infer that Xiao Lou who is with Ye Qi is a hunter, so he should do it in advance. Be prepared.

Ye Qi used the excuse of "hungry" to trick Xiao Lou into going to a Western restaurant for dinner. This was actually "leading you into an urn".

Of course, without his teammates present, Ye Qi could only face Xiao Lou alone.

While taking the elevator upstairs with Xiao Lou, Ye Qi felt very nervous until there was a "ding" sound and the elevator stopped on the top floor. Ye Qi took a deep breath and followed Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou nodded gracefully to the receptionist.

The waiter hurriedly came over and said, "You two, please come over here."

The two followed the waiter all the way to the window. Suddenly, Ye Qi spotted a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated and he clenched his fists in his pockets excitedly.

It's Chu Huaying.

She wore a pair of dark blue tight jeans, flat short boots, and a simple brown turtleneck sweater. Her hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, and she wore sunglasses that covered most of her face. She looked very handsome.

Although she was wearing sunglasses, Ye Qi recognized her at a glance.

Ye Qi pressed his stomach with his left hand, rubbed it twice clockwise and then counterclockwise. He took a step forward pretending to be excited and said, "Sister Ying, why are you here?"

Chu Huaying said calmly, "It's too noisy outside. Come here to have a cup of coffee and wait for someone."

The code matched.

Chu Huaying's secret code was set based on the location designated by Xiao Lou. It fit the scene and the dialogue was relatively natural.

Ye Qi was overjoyed that the Hunters probably didn't know the real place where they met, so Chu Huaying who appeared in the western restaurant was probably real. Now that she recognized herself and met the code, Ye Qi's guard suddenly became much lighter.

He rubbed his stomach twice clockwise, then stopped and pressed it gently, and said with a smile, "I didn't have lunch and was starving, so I brought Professor Xiao over to eat something first."

Chu Huaying looked at Xiao Lou and politely extended her hand, "Professor Xiao, please sit down."

Xiao Lou shook hands with her, but at the moment when their fingers touched, Chu Huaying's hand suddenly reached out like a snake, quickly grabbed Xiao Lou's wrist, and then threw her over the shoulder. He threw Xiao Lou, who was over 1.8 meters tall, to the ground.

Her movements were extremely swift. In the blink of an eye, she twisted Xiao Lou's arm behind his back, took off the rubber band holding his hair with one hand, tied Xiao Lou's wrist tightly with a strong rubber band, and then pressed it down with one knee. At the same time, Xiao Lou's back was slashed with his right hand like a knife, accurately hitting the back of Xiao Lou's neck, knocking the opponent out directly.

Xiao Lou probably didn't expect that Chu Huaying would take action as soon as they met. He was dizzy for a while, and then lost consciousness.

Ye Qi ""

Sister Ying, this is too cool, right?

Looking at Xiao Lou who was knocked unconscious, Ye Qi was dumbfounded. What was this sister doing in real life? The series of crisp movements just now dazzled Ye Qi, no worse than Captain Yu and Brother Jiu.

Could it be that she is also from the special forces?

Meeting Ye Qi's gaze, Chu Huaying casually smoothed the messy hair behind her head, dragged the fainted Xiao Lou to his seat, closed the private room door, and whispered to Ye Qi, " This is the world of December 24th. I happened to have a car accident that day. As soon as I opened my eyes, a large truck rushed towards me. If I hadn’t reacted quickly enough, I would probably have died again.”

Ye Qi was frightened when he heard this: "Have you seen other teammates?"

Chu Huaying shook her head, "I called Mr. Shao. Mr. Shao didn't know who I was; I haven't met the other teammates yet. Thinking that Professor Xiao said we would meet at the Western restaurant, I rushed here as soon as possible." She paused. After a pause, he added, "When you and Professor Xiao were in the square just now, I saw your movements suggesting that he was a hunter."

Ye Qi nodded, "Well, the codes don't match up. By the way, I've also met Liu Qiao and Captain Yu, but they don't recognize me."

Chu Huaying frowned slightly, "It seems that this time everyone is probably sent to a different world in groups. We are in Jiangzhou City on December 24th. In this world, Mr. Shao, Captain Yu, Liu Qiao, and Professor Xiao None of them are themselves.”

Ye Qi wondered, "Is it another group mission? What is the mission goal?"

As if they heard his question, two lines of information popped up in their floating boxes at the same time.

In the first round of the relay mission, find all the hunters in the world, and survive until 1. One hunter, Xiao Lou, has been found and received Ye Qi card pack x1 and Chu Huaying card pack x1.

Ye Qi and Chu Huaying were stunned at the same time. As expected, the familiar card pack appeared in their pockets.

Soon, Ye Qi came to his senses and said with an ugly expression, "I understand that in our world on December 24, there must be teammates in 1. I understand that everyone is divided into groups and sent to different chain copies. They must complete the relay tasks in order to Entering the next dungeon and meeting the next batch of teammates, as long as one link goes wrong."

Chu Huaying raised her eyebrows, "That means everyone will be eliminated."

Everyone knows about relay races.

A relay task involving twelve people, if one link goes wrong, the task will never be completed.

This is the biggest difficulty in the Secret Room of Two Kings.
