【Chapter 439, Deep Sea Mermaid】

Hearing Liu Qiao's words, a chill ran down Xiao Lou's spine. Thinking of the adult versions of Xiao Lou who looked exactly like him in the dream, he suddenly realized that the Xiao Lou Liu Qiao saw was probably——

Replicant.

Whether it is Xiao Lou No. 4, or No. 5 or No. 6 copied from No. 4...

In short, Xiao Lou is sure that he has never met Liu Qiao, but Liu Qiao is very sure that he has met Professor Xiao. This means that the clone next to Liu Qiao is very similar to Xiao Lou himself, and can even be faked to hide the real thing from Liu Qiao.

Bridge's eyes.

Xiao Lou's pupils shrank and he hurriedly asked in his mind: "Xiao Liu, where did you see him? What did he say to you?"

Liu Qiao was confused. Just as he was about to answer, there was a knock on the door outside.

She got up and opened the door.

The moment he opened the door, Liu Qiao suddenly met a pair of dark, clear eyes, which were full of smiles and looked at her with an extremely kind and gentle look.

Xiao Lou stood in front of him and Wen Yan asked, "Are you still asleep?"

Liu Qiao: "...Well, I can't sleep."

Xiao Lou walked into the room, put a plate of snacks on her table, and said, "I just came from Gui Lao's place and brought some of your favorite snacks."

Liu Qiao stared at the snacks on the table and said, "Thank you... I'm not hungry."

She was a little confused and tried to communicate with Xiao Lou through mental connection: "Professor Xiao? Aren't you sitting across from me? Why are you talking to me telepathically?"

Sitting opposite?

Thinking that someone exactly like him was face to face with Liu Qiao at this moment, Xiao Lou felt the hairs on his back stand up, and said hurriedly: "Xiao Lou, be careful, the Xiao Lou you saw is not real, he is a clone!"

The matter was too complicated. Xiao Lou summed it up as quickly as possible: "My identity is the prince of the Luoke Empire. In order to select the best successor, my father launched the Noah's Ark project twenty years ago and made hundreds of copies.

There are four Xiaolous that are known to be alive at present. The one you encountered is probably No. 4. We are not sure if there will be more copies in the future."

Liu Qiao: “…………”

At this moment, Xiao Lou, who was sitting in front of him, sighed softly, his tone full of helplessness: "If my card package hadn't been stolen, I wouldn't have been unable to contact Han Jiang and the others until now. Xiao Liu, why not

You go out to sea as soon as possible, find the others first, and bring them back to the Mermaid Palace. We will figure out a solution after everyone is gathered together."

Who should you believe?!

Liu Qiao's heart tightened, and she gently clenched her fists under the table to keep herself calm.

She heard herself say calmly: "Let's discuss this matter with Senior Gui and the others. I don't know where to find them alone. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if I got lost too?"

Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "Yes, we will discuss it tomorrow."

Liu Qiao's mind was very messy. The Xiao Lou in front of him was exactly the same as Professor Xiao in his memory. His movements, voice, even the expression when he smiled, the tone when he spoke...how could it be fake?

If Xiao Lou hadn't suddenly used "telepathy" to connect with her today, she would never have doubted the authenticity of the Xiao Lou in front of her.

On the first day she entered the secret room, she met Xiao Lou.

According to the setting, Xiao Lou is her brother and the successor of the mermaid kingdom, while Liu Qiao is the mermaid princess.

Because several human bones were found on a sunken ship in the depths of the ocean, they launched an investigation into the case. The investigation is currently in trouble, and they only found out that the sunken ship does not belong to the Blue Empire...

But now, another Xiao Lou told her that there are replicants in this world?

Liu Qiao's mind was confused, and she continued to communicate with Xiao Lou with heart and soul: "How can I trust you?"

Xiao Loudao: "I have the Qin Guan card, and I can establish a telepathic connection with you. Isn't this proof enough?"

Liu Qiao said calmly: "Professor Xiao I know said that on the first day he came to the secret room, when he went to investigate the sunken ship on the seabed, the card package was stolen, so he could not contact Captain Yu."

Xiao Lou: “…………”

Liu Qiao's words made Xiao Lou feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This clone actually knows the card pack and Yu Hanjiang’s name? It’s impossible for people in the secret room world to know their team so well. The only explanation is——

Xiao Lou next to Liu Qiao is most likely a hunter!

Seeing Xiao Lou's face suddenly turn pale, Yu Hanjiang hurriedly held his hand and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Xiao Loudao: "I connected with Liu Qiao, but she said that Professor Xiao was sitting opposite her. That person knew the situation of our teammates very well, and made up an excuse that the card package was stolen so he couldn't contact Hanjiang."

Ye Qi's mouth opened wide, and his jaw almost dropped: "It means that there is another Xiao Lou beside Liu Qiao?! She believes in that Xiao Lou, doesn't she believe in you?"

Xiao Lou shook his head: "No, she is now suspicious of both of them. After all, Xiao Lou's excuse can be explained. The card package was stolen, and it might have been stolen by me... More importantly,

That person knows all the information about our team, and I suspect that No. 4 Xiao Lou is the hunter."

Lu Jiuchuan's face looked ugly. He clenched his fists hard and gritted his teeth: "Have the Hunters already figured out the situation of our team?!"

Tang Ci said: "Last week's square piece Zhou Chang's Tomb of the Headless General, they sent people to follow us all the way. Although Xiao Liu and I became the size of thumbs at that time, Long Sen and Qu Wanyue used chameleon cards to blend with the environment...

But before that, maybe they have figured out the configuration of our team in a way that we don’t know?”

Lu Jiuchuan added: "Do you even know most of our cards?"

Tang Ci's eyes seemed to be frozen. He looked at the dark sea in the distance and said word by word: "The information from the Intelligence Bureau has probably been leaked."

Everyone gasped.

Tang Ci's intelligence agency database contains information on all challengers, including teammates on their team.

When Lu Jiuchuan found Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou, he relied on Tang Cineng, the information network of the Intelligence Bureau, to invade the official household registration office of Card World, find out the ID numbers of all "outsiders", and follow the clues to find the challengers.

Tang Ci said expressionlessly: "In order to reorganize the team, Ninth Brother once again challenged the S-level secret room and returned to the real world. After seeing the news that 'Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou broke the 3 Hearts world record,' he asked me to follow them closely.

Therefore, on the day you two arrive in Moon City, I will send someone to pick you up at the airport."

Xiao Lou naturally remembered this. At that time, they suspected that there was something wrong with Gui Lao, but later they found out that Senior Gui was Ninth Brother’s teammate. Xiao Lou looked back at Tang Ci and asked, "Mr. Tang, what you mean is that you have

What are the details of Han Jiang, me, and all the teammates in our contract?"

Tang Ci nodded: "Yes."

Otherwise, Lu Jiuchuan would not be able to form a team with them with confidence.

Lu Jiuchuan smiled bitterly and said: "Sorry, I can't blame Xiao Tang for this. It was all my idea. Han Jiang and Xiao Lou have broken world records many times. I naturally believe in your abilities, but I am not familiar with the other teammates after all, so

, I have also checked the information of other people in your contract in detail..."

Ye Qi said: "Brother Ninth's idea is right, right? Check the situation of other teammates before forming a team. This is also the responsibility of the team. If you just form a team to pass the level, if there is a cheat in the team, it might drag everyone down.

, let everyone be destroyed."

Lu Jiuchuan patted Xiaoye on the shoulder: "As long as you understand, last time we were almost wiped out in Plum Blossom J. This time I have to be more cautious when reorganizing the team, so I asked Xiao Tang to sort out your detailed information...including the draws.

cards, as well as your identities and jobs in reality."

Shao Qingge narrowed his eyes: "So, Mr. Tang suspects that this information was obtained by the hunter?"

Tang Ci said: "I was worried that the data would be leaked, so I deleted it after reading it with Brother Jiu. But since I am a hacker and can invade other people's computers, similarly, my computer may also have viruses implanted by others." He said lowly.

He raised his head and said softly: "I'm sorry, this is my negligence."

Lu Jiuchuan gently hugged his shoulders and said nothing.

Tang Ci experienced the most terrifying nightmare in the secret room. He watched helplessly as his legs were cut off, and he sat in a wheelchair with limited mobility for half a year. His pain was difficult for those who had not personally experienced it to understand.

He has strict requirements for his teammates who form a team again and wants to find out everyone's true identity, which is human nature.

As for the data leakage, it was not the result he wanted.

Of course Lu Jiuchuan would not blame Tang Ci, but he was afraid that other teammates would have opinions about Tang Ci. After all, the information was probably leaked from Tang Ci...

Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. Even if the information in Mr. Tang's computer is not stolen by hunters, the hunter organization still has other channels to find our information. You are not the only hacker in this world.

, if you can find it, others can also find it. You don’t have to blame yourself, no one will blame you."

Tang Ci felt warm in his heart and looked up at Yu Hanjiang: "Thank you."

Lu Jiuchuan gave his younger brother an appreciative look and said, "That's right. Hunters always have ways to find out our information. Let's think about it first, how to solve the current problem?"

"If Liu Qiao doesn't believe Professor Xiao and trusts the clones, it will be terrible!" Ye Qi scratched his hair anxiously, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Shao Qingge: "By the way, don't we still have one?

Is Zhang Qin watching the cards? We also connected with Liu Qiao and used the spiritual channel to tell her that Professor Xiao who is with us is the real one!"

Shao Qingge nodded, took out the Qin Guan card he had copied before, and established spiritual communication with Liu Qiao.

However, a prompt suddenly appeared in his floating box: "The card skill release failed, and the card skill shielding magnetic field appeared within 10 kilometers." Almost at the same time, Xiao Lou also received a prompt: "The telepathic connection has been interrupted, 10

Card skills appear within a kilometer range to shield the magnetic field."

Xiao Lou's expression changed: "Our connection with Liu Qiao may have been discovered by the other party. The 'Xiao Lou' next to Liu Qiao has a very powerful card that can block the skills of other cards in a wide range.

"

Everyone: "..."

When they were in the Imperial Palace, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang could still connect with each other outside the palace - the palace only prohibited the use of new cards, and the skills that had already been used were still effective.

But now, the card shields the magnetic field and actually makes the activated skills lose their effect?

This is the strongest hunter they have ever encountered. The key is that the opponent also has the face of Xiao Lou...

Ye Qi said worriedly: "It's over. The other party noticed that we were using cards. Is something going to happen to Liu Qiao?"

Xiao Lou said calmly: "The stronger the skill, the more restrictions it will have. The magnetic field shielding of a large range of cards will definitely not last too long. Otherwise, the Hunter can destroy all our cards with this card."

Cards, we have no chance of winning."

Lu Jiuchuan agreed: "Skills with large range and strong effects should last within 10 minutes."

Shao Qingge looked at the telepathy on the Qin Guan card that turned gray, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the release of telepathy failed. The cooling time is 24 hours, and it cannot be used again until early tomorrow morning..."

Xiao Loudao: "Me too, this skill is released once every 24 hours. If it is interrupted and released again, it will have to wait until early tomorrow morning."
To be continued...
