Chapter 138-139(1/3)
【Chapter 138, Endless Sea-13】
On the third day, the challengers were exposed to the scorching sun until their skin peeled off, but other than that, no other accidents occurred.
After dark, everyone parked the boat where it was for repairs.
Due to the appearance of a hunter who killed people silently last night, tonight, the challengers have further increased their vigilance. Many people choose to go to bed in the afternoon and not sleep at all at night. The Xiao Lou team still works as scheduled last night.
vigil.
Yu Hanjiang knew very well that the Hunters had been eliminated and would not appear again. The next thing to guard against was actually the internal fighting between the challengers. But everyone saw the strength of their team last night, and there should be no one
Dare to touch them.
At 00:00 in the morning, a prompt appeared in everyone's floating box at the same time——
【Endless Sea, Day 4, 00:00】
[Number of remaining challengers at sea: 434]
This data made Xiao Lou frown: "The number of people is wrong. The next day, a group of 10 people made a mistake in following the police and was eliminated; the group of 10 people in Luoying Pavilion and two groups of 15 people totaled 40 people.
When we went to the Gypsophila, the secret room reminded us that the remaining number of people on the Caribbean was 450."
Yu Hanjiang also remembered this incident and said: "Yes, before the arrival of the typhoon, there were 450 people remaining on the Caribbean and 40 on the Starry Sky. There should be 490 challengers surviving in the entire secret room."
Xiao Lou nodded and said thoughtfully: "After the typhoon, the two escape boats were involved in the whirlpool, and 20 people died; 16 people died in the two teams that were killed by the Hunters last night. Along the way, we
Since we didn’t see the bodies of other challengers, the remaining number of survivors should be 490-20-16 = 454 people. How could it be 434 people? Where are the other 20 people?”
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "It's probably that something happened to the Mantianxingxian."
The other teammates were a little confused when they heard the conversation between the two, especially Shao Qingge, who didn't pay attention to these details at all. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang are worthy of being the bosses of the Secret Room of Hearts, and they are as careful in the Survival Chamber as they are in investigating cases.
The elite team of girls from Luoying Pavilion collectively transferred to the "Mantianxing" cruise ship. According to Yu Hanjiang's speculation, they should hijack the cruise ship and drift at sea for seven days to pass the customs.
Lao Mo analyzed: "I remember that the ship passed three elite teams at that time. In addition to the 10 people from Luoying Pavilion, there were also 15 teams of young men and women, and 15 teams wearing invisibility cloaks.
'There are a total of 40 challengers. Either they encountered a typhoon or other accidents and more than half were killed or injured, or there was internal fighting between the teams and 20 of them died."
Xiao Lou speculated: "I am more inclined to believe that they encountered an accident. According to Lao Mo, Luoying Pavilion is very famous, and ordinary guilds and player teams do not dare to provoke them easily. With Luoying Pavilion in charge, the other two teams also
They won’t start fighting out of nowhere. Fighting among elite groups is not good for anyone. The smartest way is for three teams to work together to clear the level. Of the 40 people, half of them died. The mortality rate is even higher than ours. It’s probably not a simple typhoon.
.”
At most, the typhoon will blow over the "Mantianxing". Those three teams are not weak and cannot even cope with the typhoon. Even if they fall into the sea, as long as they are not sucked into the sea whirlpool, people who can swim can save them in time.
Drop teammates.
What kind of accident caused more than half of the 40-person elite team to die or be injured?
Xiao Lou suddenly said: "Their 'Starry Sky' is heading in the opposite direction to ours. Maybe they encountered a sea monster!"
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of horror on his face: "Could it be a big shark or something? It just ate a person without knowing it?"
Lao Mo nodded solemnly: "It's possible that beast attacks are also a common difficulty in the Spades Chamber."
Ye Qi immediately shrank his neck: "Then we should be more careful. Can Professor Xiao's safety circle resist sharks?"
Xiao Lou said: "Yes, any attack can be blocked."
After saying this, he took out a compass, drew a circle, and enclosed the escape boat within the circle.
After 0 o'clock in the morning, the skills of all cards were refreshed. Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and whispered in his ear: "The connection between the two is broken. Please reconnect. I have something to tell you."
Xiao Lou nodded and once again used Qin Guan's "telepathy" skill to establish a communication channel with Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang's voice soon sounded in my mind: "The skill of the card [Absolute Domain] my brother left me has also been refreshed. I want to go in and have a look, but my teammates will be suspicious if I disappear suddenly. Please help me."
cover."
Xiao Lou readily agreed: "No problem."
Yu Hanjiang opened his mouth and said to his teammates: "I will use the [Water Ghost Card] to go into the water to investigate and see if there are any sea monsters nearby."
Long Sen immediately raised his hand actively: "Wanyue and I will go too. Our [chameleons] can blend into the sea water. Even if there are sea monsters, they won't be able to find us."
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, be careful."
The three of them used cards to go into the sea and investigate the nearby sea areas.
Long Sen and Qu Wanyue used cards to dive into the deep sea - they discovered that there are a large number of colorful fish schools in the deep sea, as well as various beautiful corals and seaweeds. This spectacular underwater world is more beautiful than the underwater scenes broadcast on TV.
It's several times more shocking.
Countless small fishes shuttle back and forth on the bottom of the sea, and the mysterious and magnificent deep sea makes people forget to leave.
The two swam around the seabed and found no dangerous species such as sharks. The largest fish was only over half a meter long.
After returning to the escape boat, Long Sen couldn't help but admire: "The fish on the bottom of the sea are so beautiful!"
Qu Wanyue smiled and said: "Everyone can rest assured that we have checked the sea area within a few kilometers and there are no dangerous fish."
This sentence made everyone sigh in relief.
Ye Qi couldn't help but said: "The Chameleon Card is so easy to use. It integrates with the environment. You don't need to breathe in the sea, right?"
Long Sen smiled and said: "We will directly turn into sea water. Do you want to try it? When it is safe tomorrow, you can take it to the sea and have a look."
Ye Qi shook his head: "It still doesn't work. There is no need to look at the scenery here. Safety comes first. If anything happens, Brother Long, it will be more useful if you bring this card."
Qu Wanyue looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where is Captain Yu? Isn't he back yet?"
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "Don't worry about him, I have a good connection with him. He is checking on the challenger over there."
In fact, Yu Hanjiang came back with Long Sen and Qu Wanyue after swimming nearby. However, he was wearing an [Invisibility Cloak] and he was sitting next to Xiao Lou at this time, so everyone could not see him.
Yu Hanjiang opened the [Absolute Domain] card and entered the space left by Lu Jiuchuan.
This time the space is still a vast ocean.
As soon as he entered, he stood directly on the sea just like yesterday.
Yu Hanjiang tried to take a few steps forward, walking on the sea as if walking on flat ground. This was obviously the scene effect set by Lu Jiuchuan.
The bright moon is high, the stars are twinkling, the waves are sparkling on the sea, and the enclosed space where the sea and sky are the same color is as beautiful as a dream.
There was a man standing in front of him, with his back to Yu Hanjiang, and his posture upright. He stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, as if he was thinking about something.
When he noticed Yu Hanjiang coming in, he turned around and smiled slightly.
There was a slight smile on that handsome face, with raised eyebrows and deep eyes, revealing a hint of confidence and publicity that Yu Hanjiang was familiar with. It was as if the two of them had returned to the real world, and Lu Jiuchuan was still the one photographing him
shoulder to encourage his brother.
Yu Hanjiang was in a complicated mood and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Ninth."
Lu Jiuchuan said: "I thought you would come in on time at 0 o'clock in the morning, but why are you 10 minutes late?"
Yu Hanjiang explained: "My teammate noticed that there was something wrong with the number of challengers, and speculated that something might have happened to the Mantianxing. He suspected that there would be a sea monster sneak attack, so a few of us just conducted a survey in the nearby sea area.
Confirm safety."
Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Really? Your teammates are quite attentive."
Thinking of Xiao Lou's wit and caution, Yu Hanjiang couldn't help but have a hint of gentleness in his eyes, and said with admiration: "He is indeed very smart. If he hadn't reminded me, I almost thought you had really fallen and joined the Hunter organization."
Lu Jiuchuan said with a half-smile: "Yesterday, your attitude towards me suddenly changed. Was it because of him?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Yes. We have a card that can connect us spiritually. He can feel what I am saying and thinking. He is the one who made me calm down. He thinks that Brother Jiu's nature will not change.
So thorough, there must be some reason."
Lu Jiuchuan was very interested in the teammate mentioned by Yu Hanjiang and asked: "You have a cold personality. You have rarely been close to others since you were a child, but you are actually willing to share your spiritual world with him... It seems that you trust him very much?"
"
Yu Hanjiang said without hesitation: "That's right. He is a forensic doctor. I have cooperated with him several times in the real world. We have formed a team since we met in the Plum Blossom 2 Secret Room, and we have been together until now. He is my most important person in this world.
The most trusted friend."
Lu Jiuchuan found that every time his younger brother mentioned this person, his usually serious and cold face would always bring a hint of tenderness... The most trusted friend? Lu Jiuchuan joked: "Really just a friend?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded decisively: "Yes."
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Let him come in too, I want to meet him."
Yu Hanjiang asked doubtfully: "Meet him? Why?"
Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said: "I have to judge whether the people around you are unreliable before I decide on the next plan."
Yu Hanjiang conveyed this sentence to Xiao Lou through the spiritual world: "My brother said that he wants to see you."
Although Xiao Lou was puzzled, he also wanted to meet Yu Hanjiang's brother because he speculated that Lu Jiuchuan was most likely to be an undercover agent when he joined the Hunter organization. He had many questions that he wanted to ask Lu Jiuchuan for confirmation.
Xiao Lou agreed and said, "Okay. How do I enter your brother's absolute domain?"
Yu Hanjiang looked at his brother and asked, "How could he come in?"
Lu Jiuchuan said: "Tell me his location, and I will pull him in."
Yu Hanjiang said: "He is on the escape boat, sitting next to me. Our escape boat has a white awning, which is easy to find." After that, Yu Hanjiang told Xiao Lou through the telepathic channel: "My brother is going over now.
I'm looking for you. Make up an excuse and tell everyone that you have to put on an invisibility cloak so that everyone won't worry if you suddenly disappear."
