Chapter 14
At this time, Fu Xue had nothing to hide, so she confessed directly:
"I have two Apostle cards. One can delay the monster's actions, but for a limited time."
"The other card is used in conjunction with the previous one. This card can reveal the monster's weaknesses."
The pattern on Fu Xue's ID card is plum blossom, which symbolizes luck and unexpectedness.
So when Zhang Queshan heard about the two matching apostle cards, he was a little surprised.
Fu Xue's first card can be used to ask for the name of anyone in the field, including NPCs and related ghosts.
But her second Apostle card, used in conjunction with it, is the key.
As long as the card holder writes a name on the card, this third-level apostle card will randomly show one to three pieces of relevant information about the person with that name.
If the name entered belongs to a player, its related card information will be exposed, such as level, suit, function cards owned, etc.
But if the name entered is an NPC, it will expose its fatal weakness.
When Yi Tu heard Fu Xue talk about the function of this card, his heart tightened.
Fu Xue told them that there is no absolute safety in the card field, and sometimes your name can become a weakness that others can exploit.
So Fu Xue and A Niu are not their real names, and Zhang Queshan is not surprised. It seems that he also understands the importance of pseudonyms.
Yi Tu felt a little scared, but fortunately, Fu Xue's card could only be used once, and it could only play its greatest role when used against NPCs.
"If we know the monster's weaknesses, it will be much easier to repel it." Fu Xue quickly analyzed:
"But the only problem now is that when the first card fails, it takes time to use the second card."
"You guys have to think of a way. As long as you can delay it for a second or two..."
Fu Xue was only halfway through her words when Zhang Queshan interrupted her:
"What good is it to know the monster's weakness? If we can't meet its conditions, we'll all die."
Fu Xue looked him straight in the eyes, "So this is why I came to you."
If they knew the weaknesses of the ghosts and monsters and couldn't restrain them, no amount of props could save them.
Yitu pinched his brows and spoke helplessly to mediate:
"No, the worst-case scenario won't necessarily happen. Her cards are already useful enough."
Zhang Queshan glanced at him and said, "That's better."
As time passed and it became late at night, the three of them stopped wasting energy talking.
Yitu had nothing to do, so he just looked at the interactive area of the card room owner.
Players who are not involved only care about whether the points they invest will be rewarded, while players in the card room are terrified because they cannot decide their own life or death.
Two black door-sealing strips were pasted on their door, which were the protective props brought by Zhang Queshan.
As long as there is something non-human approaching the door, the door seal will immediately turn red and prevent the thing from coming in. The effective time is only three minutes.
Once the door sealing strip is used, it will be effective for five hours from the moment it is affixed to the door.
If five hours have passed, the door seal will not turn red even if there is something standing outside the door.
So they had to remember the exact time, and no one dared to sleep that night.
Yi Tu did not give up his bed to Fu Xue. In fact, Fu Xue did not need his care.
She was equally wary, sitting in a chair farther from the bed, fiddling with her fingers to relieve her anxiety.
Yitu had never felt that time could pass so slowly. Every minute and every second was testing one's patience.
Especially when sleepiness came, Yitu's head became dizzy and his eyelids stuck together several times.
In the haze, he suddenly felt his body become very heavy. He didn't know whether it was the heaviness of his consciousness or an illusion.
Something seemed to touch his hand, and the touch of paper reached his brain with a delay.
Then he heard the door open.
At this moment, Yitu woke up completely, and the moment he saw clearly, a chill ran up his spine.
He stood alone in the dark and silent corridor. He didn't know when the door was opened, and in his hands were the two door sealing strips that had not yet changed color.
What happened was simply like something possessed by a ghost.
Yi Tu didn't have time to think about it. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to his room, a crack suddenly appeared silently in the corridor in front of him.
At this time, all players in the viewing area of the card field were forced to pop out of the viewing area by the system.
Anonymous Player 234: What the hell? What happened? Why did I get ejected?!
Anonymous player 674: Damn, if the interactive area wasn't still working, I would have thought there was something wrong with my game cards.
Anonymous Player 320: What happened! That new guy went out and what happened? Shit, is he dead?
Anonymous player 498: There are so many bugs here, I’m impressed!
Anonymous player 923: It’s a small problem, a small problem. I just hope that the big guys don’t take over the viewing area, so that we can’t see it.
Anonymous player 387: Yes, it seems that as long as a player buys the ownership of the viewing area, other players will be ejected, right?
Anonymous player 999: What the hell, if anyone actually bought it, they would have returned it long ago, but I have nothing here...
Anonymous player 1034: Wait for the repair, it should be fixed soon.
Yitu watched helplessly as something rushed out of the bloody hole and rushed towards him.
Yi Tu's expression changed. Everything happened so fast that he had no time to react.
I could only subconsciously raise my hand to block it, my throat tightened and I murmured unwillingly:
"No......."
Yi Tu only felt his vision go dark and his body was about to fall apart. Something hot and tall pressed him against the wall, and his skin felt as if it was burning.
His teeth were bleeding from the shock. With the last bit of willpower, he opened his eyes, but was caught off guard by a pair of bloodthirsty eyes.
Yitu's heart was shocked.
The black long knife narrowly grazed his cheek, leaving a tiny trace of blood.
The moment their eyes met, their hearts trembled as if they were hit.
Yitu couldn't describe the feeling specifically, as if something was pulling them together.
Until he clearly saw a familiar pattern appear on the left side of the man's neck, where veins were bulging.
A Queen of Hearts.
At the same time, Yitu felt a strong burning pain on the right side of his chest, and the mark was reached.
Just when Yitu's mind went blank, a strange electronic child's voice sounded:
"System error!"
"I'll be correcting that..."
When Yitu came to his senses, the corridor in front of him was still the dark and quiet corridor, and he was still standing there alone.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, a dream he had imagined out of thin air.
In fact, he didn't even see the man's face clearly. He only remembered the fear and intimidation that man gave him when he attacked.
And that pair of unusually huge black wings.
The blood beads on the bright red feathers were trying to cover up its sharp light.
Is it an illusion? Yitu lowered his eyes secretly.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the soft feathers left on the wooden floor.
Yitu was stunned. The black feather was not stained with blood. It was beautiful and pure.
When he tried to pick it up, it shattered and disappeared between his fingers.
Yitu couldn't help but frown. This was definitely not an illusion.
The burning pain in his body had not yet dissipated, and his chest...
Yitu paused for a moment and immediately realized that he was still in the card room and the game was still going on. It would be really dangerous if he stayed any longer.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Yi Tu discovered that Zhang Queshan and Fu Xue were both asleep in the corner.
So it's no wonder that he walked out of the room in a state of confusion and no one came out to stop him.
Yitu quickly woke the two of them up. When Zhang Queshan and Fu Xue regained consciousness, a look of fear appeared on their faces.
It wasn't until Zhang Queshan saw the door-sealing strip in Yitu's hand that his face turned grim:
"Did you remove the door seal?"
Yitu's body stiffened. He really had no way to defend himself in this matter.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why, but when I came to, I was already outside the room."
"The note must have been removed at that time."
Fu Xue was a little unconvinced and frowned:
"It's true that ghosts can confuse players in the card room, but how can you come back unscathed..."
Yitu raised his eyes and glanced at her, then interrupted calmly:
"How do you know I'm fine?"
Fu Xue didn't expect Yi Tu to be so fierce, and she didn't react for a moment.
"The problem now is that once the door seal is removed, it's useless." Zhang Queshan rubbed his forehead. "What should we do next?"
Fu Xue sneered, "What should I do? Pray."
After she finished speaking, she sat back in the chair alone, fiddling with her fingers even more anxiously.
Yitu took a look and sat back. Now they had no choice but to wait silently for dawn.
They were destined not to spend this night peacefully. It was almost two or three in the morning, when Yitu was most exhausted, when a sound came from the corridor.
The strange and sharp friction sound was as creepy as a cold knife scraping against the scalp.
Yitu's expression changed slightly, and the bodies of the three people leaning on each other tensed up instantly.
