Chapter 193
After the Spring Collaboration Tournament ended, Handian ranked third in the top team rankings, temporarily behind Moya and Madman.
This time, there are eight players who have accumulated more than 200 league points and entered the extraordinary prize pool.
The King of Spades and his spouse the Queen of Hearts each took up two spots, and their team members each took up two spots. Unsurprisingly, the remaining four spots fell into the hands of the throne players.
Not long after coming out of the game, Yitu received an extraordinary reward email from the system.
Although the extraordinary prize pool can open god-level props, it should be noted that the god-level props opened by most players are basically useless and of little use.
At least that's what Jiang Hanyu himself thought, so he opened the email in front of his lover, took a glance at it, and shrugged his shoulders to show that he was not surprised.
It was a blessing-type acolyte card with a unique passive ability that provided its holder with double the defense of an ordinary person, or a maximum movement speed of 30% of the limit.
This card, whether in terms of defensive capabilities or so-called movement speed, is obviously a low-profile version compared to the Wings of the Fallen Angel.
Jiang Hanyu naturally wouldn't want this kind of prop that took up space, so he chose to disassemble it on the spot and exchange it for corresponding JR points, which amounted to as much as 700,000.
In this case, Yitu naturally did not hold out much hope, thinking that even if he exchanged it for JR points, it would definitely not be a loss.
However, the less hope there is for something, the more likely it is to receive unexpected surprises.
Yitu got a support card, the Jack of Hearts.
He never expected that the other Jack of Hearts who had never appeared in the throne player would appear in front of him in the form of a card.
The nature of this prop card is the same as the Chen twins owned by the Club King, and the master-servant relationship between the Heart King Ming Huang and Xiao Feng.
The Jack of Hearts belongs to Yitu, but at this moment the column for the Jack of Hearts' name on this card is blank.
In other words, the Jack of Hearts that Yitu got can also save a player from danger.
But in the same way, once bound to the card, the identity will also change accordingly.
It is the player's Jack of Hearts, and also a card in the hand of the Queen of Hearts, and half an NPC in the game.
But it is undeniable that such an auxiliary function card often means a crucial turning point or the rebirth of a player.
Yi Tu felt a little complicated when he got this card, mixed with worry and joy. The faces of the Chen twins flashed through his mind, and then the face of Xiao Feng, and he finally sighed.
"I hope this card isn't used on anyone I know."
Because when that moment really comes, the Jack of Hearts can bring people new life, but it will also symbolize death.
Jiang Hanyu was silent for a moment, then squeezed his spouse's palm and said:
"If fate is inevitable, then the Jack of Hearts is a form of compensation."
Yitu was stunned. "Yes, at least we still have the opportunity to choose."
--------
After the spring league ended, everyone had a relaxing and happy time.
At present, Handian is ranked third, surpassing Lieqi and Feiya. Even if they work hard on team tasks, it will still take some time to catch up.
Besides, Yitu and the others don’t really care about the team rankings, they just want to vent their past anger.
After a spring game, Yi Tu was not the only one who became rich, although most of his points went into the mouth of the Dragon God Hantian.
Except for Song Jingchen and Xu Heng who were a little excited, everyone else acted calmly.
After all, when the game points reach a certain value, it is just a string of numbers without much meaning.
Although the number decreases slightly with every day they live.
But in fact, they all knew that what limited their life and death was never a simple string of numbers, but the four-year period that was just around the corner.
Yitu’s identity card hasn’t been refreshed for a long time, and the same goes for others.
The longer players enter the game, the more difficult it is to refresh the card field. This is especially true for players who are about to enter the Easter egg game, as it is a deep torment.
It was like a guillotine hanging over your head. You could only watch it approaching but there was nothing you could do.
The knife had not yet exerted any force on Yi Tu, but it gradually revealed a cold light on the necks of Jiang Hanyu and Fu Hengyi.
There was no card room to enter and everyone was enjoying life peacefully, so Song Jingchen, a college student, went back to school to attend classes.
From time to time, people would come to visit the villa, either Wei Zhou who forced himself to find an excuse to stay, or members of the Demon Fang who brought their families to play cards and gamble.
Such ordinary and relaxing days lasted for so long that even Yitu had the illusion that they could go on forever.
There is no hatred that cannot be let go, no goal that cannot be stopped, and no concerns about life and death.
If they had never been a part of the gambler's game, they might not necessarily cherish the present moment more.
After the April tower climbing event ended, Jiang Hanyu and Fu Heng began to prepare for the Easter egg game that would be coming soon.
Yi Tu did not expect that things would happen so suddenly, even Jiang Hanyu was also caught off guard.
It was an inexplicable omen, the inexplicable palpitations and chills at night, and the first instinct of a person when facing danger.
"Do you know the exact time it opens?"
The lights in their bedroom had been turned off long ago, but Yi Tu couldn't fall asleep in the man's warm embrace.
Jiang Hanyu opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other silently in the darkness. He saw the determination in Yi Tu's eyes, so he had to take a step back and said:
"September. My intuition tells me it will be September."
Yitu nodded and said nothing more.
He knew that the Easter egg game that would be launched every four years had no specific time, but players whose time limit was approaching would be inspired by it.
"Fu Hengyi also felt it, right?"
Jiang Hanyu nodded. He and Hua Shan were both players who entered the gambler's game in the same batch, and the time between them was no more than half a year.
The last batch of people who died in the Easter egg game was in June four years ago.
"Are you scared?" Yi Tu put his arms around Jiang Hanyu's neck and asked softly.
The man returned the kiss and asked:
"Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." The two looked into each other's eyes and gave the answer at the same time.
If fate has destined their meeting to be a tragedy, dying together can be a kind of romance.
Time passed by little by little, and Yitu followed Jiang Hanyu and others to find the admission ticket to the God-level card field, trying to get a glimpse of the mystery of life and death.
However, before they could gain anything, on April 13, Ou Cheng was killed by the Night King in the card room.
A piece of bad news that was completely unexpected to everyone came so suddenly.
So when Yi Tu got the news, he quickly went downstairs and found Xu Heng who was alone in the room.
Perhaps because of a cold, Xu Heng's face was slightly red, and there was a crumpled tissue in his hand.
That night, no one dared to look directly at the expression on Xu Heng's face, that pale face that was enough to break one's heart.
All languages lose all their power in the face of true life and death. Yitu opened his mouth several times but could not utter a single word.
"He said... he wouldn't bind me to a marital relationship because..."
Tears rolled down Xu Heng's eyes, but he was smiling, even though his voice was trembling:
"It's because he's afraid that if he really dies one day, I won't be able to get over it."
The bond between spouses is even more deadly for players who are already lovers.
Especially when one party suddenly dies in the card game, it will be difficult for the remaining party to continue to survive.
It's not just because of the bonds that bind them together, but more because the living party will completely lose the motivation to live.
"Facts have proved that he is right." Xu Heng looked at Yi Tu, still smiling, but his body couldn't stop shaking until he completely collapsed.
Yitu hugged him, but Xu Heng's heart-wrenching cries seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and reach the most fragile souls.
"Who would have thought that a little cold would be enough to separate him and me."
Just one week after Ou Cheng's death, Xu Heng quickly recovered from her grief.
He stood on the balcony on the second floor, facing the bright sunshine, but his overly pale skin made him look completely cold.
Xu Heng and Yi Tu chatted casually, "When Jiang Hanyu enters the Easter Egg Game, you will follow him, right?"
Yitu nodded, "I will go."
Xu Heng smiled, "That's great, at least we can die together."
"As soon as I think about the fact that we will all die in the future, I suddenly feel relieved." Xu Heng leaned on the railing and whispered:
"We've reached the same destination by different paths. Ou Cheng just took a step ahead of me."
Yi Tu was stunned. He didn't expect Xu Heng to comfort him in this way. He almost lost the desire to live.
"Xu Heng, you must live well." Yi Tu said in a deep voice:
"Before Ou Cheng got into trouble, he told me to take good care of you."
Xu Heng smiled and said sarcastically:
"Then he really has the ability to predict the future."
Yitu was silent for a moment before speaking:
"Xu Heng, you should actually blame me."
"If the Night King and I hadn't been enemies before, Ou Cheng wouldn't necessarily have become the victim of the Night King's wrath."
Xu Heng's gaze fell on the distance, as if he was looking at something, but also as if he was looking at nothing. He nodded in agreement.
"It's come to this, why bother talking about it anymore."
"I don't blame you, but I beg you..." Xu Heng grabbed Yi Tu's arm, and his dull eyes burst out with the last trace of desperate struggle.
"I want you to kill the Night King. You must kill him. He must die!"
Yi Tu held Xu Heng's cold fingers, and the scene before Ou Cheng's death suddenly flashed through his mind.
He was stabbed to death by the Night King with a blunt knife. Yitu had watched the replay and saw a total of 106 stab wounds, each of which avoided the vital parts and was stabbed in the most painful and unbearable places.
Xu Heng never knew about it, and Yi Tu didn't dare tell him. He just kept lying to him, saying that he was killed with one blow and there was no time to react.
However, in fact, Ou Cheng was just like he was at that time, with an absolutely clear consciousness, but he could only lie on the ground and wait to die.
That card game was the last one Ou Cheng visited in his lifetime. The level was not high, only level eight.
So he didn't let the sick Xu Heng accompany him in, thinking he could do it himself.
And what just happened was that it was not an ordinary eighth-level card field, the Night King and his curious members were also there.
Unsurprisingly, Ou Cheng could not hide the truth from the Night King. He was eventually recognized and died in that card room.
"I will." Yitu took a deep breath, closed his eyes and made a promise.
