[Chapter 138, Endless Seas-13]

On the third day, the challengers were exposed to the scorching sun and peeled off, and other than that, no accident happened.

After dark, everyone parked the boat in place to repair it.

Since there were silent killers who appeared last night, the challengers further became more vigilant tonight. Many people chose to sleep in the afternoon and simply stopped sleeping at night. Xiaolou's team still took shifts to watch as arranged last night.

Yu Hanjiang knew very well that the hunter had been eliminated and would not appear again. What we need to guard against next was actually the internal struggle between the challengers. But everyone saw the strength of their team last night, and no one dared to touch them.

At 00:00 in the morning, everyone's floating box also brushed a prompt-

【Endless Sea, Day 4, 00:00】

【Number of remaining challengers at sea: 434 people】

This data made Xiao Lou frown: "The number of people is wrong. The next day, a 10-person group made a mistake in judgment and followed the police back, and was eliminated; the 10-person group in Luoying Pavilion and two 15-person groups, totaling 40 people went to the "Mantianxing". At that time, the secret room prompted that the remaining number of people in our "Caribbean Sea" was 450."

Yu Hanjiang also remembered this incident and said, "That's right, before the typhoon arrived, the remaining number of people in the Caribbean Sea was 450, the 'Stars of the Sky' was 40, and the challengers who survived the entire secret room should be 490."

Xiao Lou nodded and said thoughtfully: "After the typhoon, two escape boats were swept into the whirlpool, and 20 people died; 16 people died in the two teams that were destroyed by the hunters last night. Along the way, we did not see the bodies of other challengers. The remaining number of survivors should be 490-20-16=454, so why could it be 434? Where are the other 20 people going?"

Yu Hanjiang frowned: "It is very likely that something happened to the 'Starsman in the Sky'."

The other teammates were a little confused when they heard the conversation between the two, especially Shao Qingge, who did not pay attention to these details at all. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang are worthy of being the bosses of the Hongtao Secret Room, and they are as careful in the survival room as investigating cases.

The elite female team of Luoying Pavilion collectively transferred to the "Mantian Xingkong" cruise ship. According to Yu Hanjiang's speculation, they should hijack the cruise ship and drift on the sea for seven days to pass the level.

Lao Mo analyzed: "I remember that the ship passed by three elite teams. In addition to the 10 people in Luoying Pavilion, there were 15 young men and women teams, as well as 15 teams wearing invisible cloaks, and a total of 40 challengers. Either they encountered a typhoon or other accident, with more than half of the casualties, or there were internal strife between the teams, killing 20 people."

Xiao Lou speculated: "I prefer that they encounter an accident. According to Lao Mo, Luoying Pavilion is very famous, and ordinary guilds and player teams dare not provoke them easily. With Luoying Pavilion in charge, the other two teams will not fight for no reason. The elite team fighting is not good for anyone. The smartest way is to work together to pass the level. 40 people died half of them, and the mortality rate is higher than that of ours. It is very likely that it is not a simple typhoon."

At most, the typhoon will blow over the "Stars in the Sky". Those three teams are not weak and will not be able to handle the typhoon. Even if they fall into the sea, as long as they are not sucked into the sea whirlpool, those who know how to swim can save their teammates in time.

What accident did it mean that more than half of the elite team of 40 people were killed or injured?

Xiao Lou suddenly said: "Their 'Stars' are the opposite direction we are moving forward. Maybe they encountered a sea monster!"

Ye Qi was stunned for a moment and said in horror: "Can it be a big shark or something? God didn't know, but he ate the person in one bite?"

Lao Mo nodded seriously: "It is possible that beast attacks are also common difficulties in the secret room of spades."

Ye Qi immediately shrank his neck: "Then let's be careful. Can Professor Xiao's safety circle withstand sharks?"

Xiao Lou said: "Yes, any attack can be blocked."

After saying that, he took out the compass, drew a circle, and circled the escape boat in the circle.

After 0 a.m., all the skills of the cards were refreshed. Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and whispered in his ear: "I have a broken heart. Please connect again. I have something to say to you."

Xiao Lou nodded and once again established a communication channel with Yu Hanjiang using Qin Guan's "heart-to-heart" skill.

Yu Hanjiang's voice soon sounded in his mind: "The card [absolute field] skill left to me by my brother has also been refreshed. I want to go in and take a look, but if I suddenly disappear, my teammates will doubt you, please help me with a cover."

Xiao Lou agreed happily: "No problem."

Yu Hanjiang spoke to his teammates: "I will use the [Water Ghost Card] to go into the water to detect and see if there are any sea monsters nearby."

Long Sen immediately raised his hand actively: "Wanyue and I will go too. Our [chameleon] can be integrated with the sea water. Even if there are sea monsters, we cannot find us."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Okay, be careful."

The three of them used cards to go to the nearby sea to investigate.

Long Sen and Qu Wanyue dived into the deep sea with the help of cards - the two discovered that there were a large number of colorful fish in the deep sea, as well as various beautiful corals and seaweeds. This spectacular underwater world was several times more shocking than the underwater scenes played on TV.

Countless small fish are shuttled back and forth on the seabed, and the mysterious and magnificent deep sea makes people linger.

The two swam around the sea and found no dangerous species such as sharks. The largest fish was only about half a meter long.

After returning to the escape boat, Long Sen couldn't help but exclaim: "The fish under 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 no dangerous fish have appeared."

This sentence made everyone feel relieved.

Ye Qi couldn't help but say, "The Chameleon card is so useful. It is integrated with the environment. You don't need to breathe in the sea, right?"

Long Sen smiled and said, "We will turn it into sea water directly. Do you want to try it? If it is safe tomorrow, you can take it to the sea to see it."

Ye Qi shook his head: "It's still not possible, there is no need to see the scenery here, it's safe. If something happens, Brother Long, you bring this card with you."

Qu Wanyue looked around and said in confusion: "Where is Team Yu? Haven't you come back yet?"

Xiao Lou smiled and said, "Don't worry about him. I have a close relationship with him. He is checking the challenger's situation there."

In fact, Yu Hanjiang came back with Long Sen and Qu Wanyue after swimming around, but he was wearing the [Invisible Cloak] and was sitting next to Xiao Lou at this time, and no one could see him.

Yu Hanjiang opened the [Absolute Domain] card and entered the space left by Lu Jiuchuan.

This time the space is still vast in the sea.

As soon as he entered, he stood directly on the sea like yesterday.

Yu Hanjiang tried to walk forward a few steps, walking on the sea, like walking on flat ground, which was obviously the scene effect set by Lu Jiuchuan.

The bright moon hangs high, the stars shine, the sea surface shimmers, and the closed space of the sea and sky is as beautiful as a dream.

There was a man standing in front of him, with his back facing Yu Hanjiang, with a straight figure. He stood with his hands behind his back, raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, as if thinking about something.

He turned around and smiled slightly when he noticed Yu Hanjiang coming in.

The handsome face had a faint smile, his flying sword eyebrows and deep eyes, and a hint of confidence and ostentatiousness that Yu Hanjiang was familiar with. It seemed that the two of them had returned to the real world, and Lu Jiuchuan was still the brother who patted his shoulders and encouraged him.

Yu Hanjiang was in a complicated mood and whispered: "Brother Jiu."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "I thought you would come in on time at 0 a.m., why are you 10 minutes late?"

Yu Hanjiang explained: "My teammate found that the number of challengers was not right, and speculated that something might happen to the 'Stars in the Sky'. He suspected that there would be sea monsters attacking him. So, we just searched in the nearby waters to confirm safety."

Lu Jiuchuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Is that so? Your teammate is quite careful."

Thinking of Xiao Lou's wit and caution, Yu Hanjiang's gaze couldn't help but feel a hint of gentleness, and he said admiringly: "He is indeed very smart. If he hadn't reminded me, I would have almost thought that you were really degenerate and joined the Hunter Organization."

Lu Jiuchuan said with a smile: "Yesterday, your attitude towards me suddenly changed. It turned out to be because of him?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Yes. We have a card that can connect each other's spirits. He can feel whatever I am saying or thinking. It was him who calmed me down. He thought that Brother Jiu's nature would not become so thorough, so there must be some reason."

Lu Jiuchuan was very interested in the teammate at Yu Hanjiang's mouth and asked, "You are a cold-hearted boy. You rarely get close to others since you were a child. You are 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 worked with him several times in the real world. We have formed a team since we met in the Secret Room 2 of Plum Blossoms and have been going to this day. He is my most trusted friend in this world."

Lu Jiuchuan discovered that every time his younger brother mentioned this person, his face, which had always been serious and indifferent, would inevitably have a hint of tenderness... The most trusted friend? Lu Jiuchuan joked: "It's really just a friend?"

Yu Hanjiang nodded decisively: "Yes."

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Let him come in too, I want to see him."

Yu Hanjiang asked in confusion: "See him? Why?"

Lu Jiuchuan smiled and said, "I have to judge whether the people around you are reliable before deciding on the next plan."

Yu Hanjiang conveyed this sentence to Xiao Lou through the spiritual world: "My brother said, 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 joined the Hunter Organization and had a high possibility of being an undercover agent. He had many questions to ask Lu Jiuchuan for verification.

Xiao Lou agreed and said, "Okay. How do I get into your brother's absolute territory?"

Yu Hanjiang looked at his brother and asked, "How can he come in?"

Lu Jiuchuan said: "Tell me his location and I'll pull him in."

Yu Hanjiang said: "He was sitting next to me on the escape boat. Our escape boat was hung with a white awning, which was easy to find." After that, Yu Hanjiang told Xiao Lou again in the heart of the passage of the heart: "My brother is here to find you now, you make an excuse and tell everyone that you should wear an invisible cloak so that you won't disappear suddenly. Everyone will be worried."

Xiao Lou's voice quickly rang in his mind: "I understand." Then he said to his teammates: "I don't know how to swim. Team Yu asked me to put on an invisible cloak to try the water ghost card. If I suddenly disappear later, don't worry."

The teammates had no doubts.

After a while, Lu Jiuchuan found Xiaolou accurately and pulled Xiaolou in.

Xiaolou appeared in a strange sea, with bright moons and stars, and the sea and sky were all the same. He found himself standing on the sea surface. Xiaolou was not surprised. His eyes swept around and walked to Yu Hanjiang with a calm expression.

Not far away was a tall man standing - as tall as Team Yu, nearly 1.9 meters tall. Their appearance was three points similar, but Yu Hanjiang's expression was serious, making him look even colder and calmer. Lu Jiuchuan's eyebrows and eyes were full of heroic posture, and his smile was free and outspoken, especially the scar on his face, which showed a hint of wildness when he smiled.

Yu Hanjiang took the initiative to introduce: "This is Xiao Lou, the youngest associate professor in the Department of Forensics of Jiangzhou Medical University. This is my uncle's son, my cousin who grew up with me, the captain of the Navy's Arrow Commando, and Major Lu Jiuchuan."

Xiao Lou smiled politely and greeted: "Hello, Major Lu."

Lu Jiuchuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked him up and down. The young man looked very handsome, had a gentle smile and was elegant. He was still calm in a strange environment, and his psychological quality was obviously very strong.

He stood beside his younger brother, with his head just as flat as Yu Hanjiang's nose. His figure is much thinner than Yu Hanjiang, and his height is 10 cm shorter, but his aura does not seem weak at all.

Yu Hanjiang is too cold, with sharp eyes and imposing momentum. When others stand beside him, his aura will be completely suppressed by him, and he feels a head lower than him. But Xiao Lou's gentleness seems to complement Yu Hanjiang. The picture of the two standing together is very harmonious. Xiao Lou was not suppressed by Yu Hanjiang's aura, but instead neutralized Yu Hanjiang's sharpness.

It's really amazing. My younger brother and Xiao Lou stood together, and he had a strange sense of matching.

Lu Jiuchuan smiled gently and said warmly: "You're welcome, Han Jiang calls me Jiu brother, you can call Jiu brother too."

[Chapter 139, Endless Seas-14]

Xiao Lou is not familiar with Lu Jiuchuan. When he met for the first time, he called "Brother Jiu". But since the other party was not particular, Xiao Lou couldn't continue to call "Major Lu". He looked at Yu Hanjiang inquiringly, and nodded when he saw the latter, he followed him->>

He said, "Brother Jiu, please bring me in. Do you have something to say to me?"
