Chapter 49
When Yitu woke up the next morning, it was just getting light.
Most of the quilts that he and Jiang Hanyu were covering themselves with fell to the ground, but they didn't feel cold.
Yitu stared at the snow-white wall for a while to relax, then subconsciously opened the game panel.

Yitu was not too surprised to see the change in the number of surviving players.
After all, it was an intermediate card field, so he had prepared himself mentally before entering.
But before he could remember the faces of these players, someone was already killed.
The ticket bidding mode has been refreshed at this time, but because the level of the card field is too high, fewer card field owners come in.
Yitu clicked on the interactive area and took a look. There were only twenty-three players there, and no one was the first to leave a message in the interactive area.
Intermediate and advanced players all look quite cool.
Yitu stayed in bed for a minute, then tried to move his arms and get up.
However, this movement woke Jiang Hanyu up.
"What time is it?" The man's voice was lazy, as if he had not yet woken up.
"A little after seven."
Yitu climbed up from the bed and got out of bed lightly.
"A player died last night, and I want to go check it out first." Yitu said.
Jiang Hanyu put his arms over his eyes to block out the light, looking as if he was planning to stay in bed, and ignored what he said.
Yitu ignored him, put on his clothes by himself, washed up quickly, and left the room.
When passing by Miss Dong's room, Yi Tu couldn't help but take a look inside. At this time, the white silk on the eaves had disappeared again.
Was it just his illusion last night, or was the white silk accidentally untied by someone?
Yi Tu didn't understand what was going on. He walked along the path, intending to go to the lobby first. Unexpectedly, he met Song Jingchen who was looking for them on the way.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Song Jingchen asked first:
"Brother Yu hasn't woken up yet?"
"Well, he stayed in bed." Yitu said, "Did something happen over there?"
Song Jingchen nodded without hiding anything:
"A player died, and I was just about to go look for you guys."
Song Jingchen told him that the player who died in the east wing was a bald man in his thirties.
The whole person was dropped onto the eaves by a white silk thread, and his death looked extremely horrifying.
"Just come with me and you'll know." Song Jingchen said.
Yi Tu nodded. On the way to the east wing, he kept wondering whether the white silk was the same one he saw last night.
However, when he arrived at the place, Yitu was so shocked by the scene that he forgot to think for a moment.
Rather than saying it was a white silk, it was more like a silk net in the spider cave, which tightly entangled the player in mid-air.
He allowed the white silk, which was much thicker than a rope, to twist his body to the extreme. He looked like a broken doll, with his limbs cruelly bent.
His mouth was wide open, and no one knew what he had seen. His face was filled with horror.
And it was at this moment that Bai Ling strangled his neck.
"How did the person die?" Yi Tu came back to his senses and looked at Song Jingchen.
Song Jingchen shook his head. "I don't know. He was already dead when he was found this morning."
The person who discovered him was Miss Dong's fiancé Chu Sichi, who was also the groom of the unsuccessful wedding.
"The groom lives in the east wing?" Yitu was a little surprised.
Logically speaking, the groom cannot live in the bride's home, but the groom Chu Sichi is Dong Haoyue's childhood playmate.
The Dong family and the Chu family are very familiar with each other. Mr. Dong even treats Chu Sichi as his own son, and there has always been a place reserved for him in the east wing of the Dong family.
Now, Dong Haoyue died unexpectedly, and Chu Sichi was hit hard. He insisted on staying in Dong's house to keep watch for Dong Haoyue.
This time, when Chu Sichi came back from his night watch early in the morning, he happened to see the small piece of white silk stuck outside the door.
Song Jingchen told Yi Tu everything he knew without reservation. He knew that this person and Jiang Hanyu were a couple.
When he learned about this, he was shocked for a long time.
I have never heard that the King of Spades has his own spouse.
It's hard to imagine that such a bad guy would have someone accompany him into the card room, and the person who agreed to accompany him turned around and went to play with someone else.
Although he couldn't tell what the relationship between the two was, Song Jingchen still treated Yi Tu as his own because of Jiang Hanyu's protective attitude.
While the two were talking, three more players came down the corridor.
The leading man was tall, with his signature fox eyes slightly narrowed and a smile on his face.
Behind him were a man and a woman on his left and right. The man was tall and strong, while the woman was particularly plump.
The man first glanced at the horrific scene in the house without changing his expression. Then his eyes fell on Yi Tu and he smiled slightly.
"My name is Hai Ling. What's your name, sir?"
"Yidong." Yitu did not give his real name, but instead changed it to a pseudonym before entering the card room.
Hai Ling nodded, and did not ask the name of Song Jingchen beside him, but suddenly said:
"I've seen you before."
Song Jingchen was stunned and couldn't help frowning: "You recognized the wrong person? Why don't I remember meeting you before?"
Hai Ling shook her head, her fox eyes narrowed slightly.
"How could that be? I remember your smell."
"Are you the little kid who's protected by the flower umbrella?"
As soon as these words came out, Yitu saw Song Jingchen's face change. Hai Ling really knew him.
Not only that, he also mentioned the nickname of the man who often brought Song Jingchen into the card room.
Perhaps it was because Song Jingchen overreacted, Hai Ling found it a little interesting. The fox rolled his eyes and continued:
"Aren't you two a couple? Did you come in alone this time? Or... did you choose a different partner?"
A look of annoyance suddenly appeared on Song Jingchen's face, and Yi Tu, who was standing next to him, spoke.
"If you're so curious, why not ask Huasan yourself?"
The smile on Hai Ling's face faded, and her expression was indifferent:
"I'm not familiar with Huasan, so I can't ask."
"What's more, he might be busy right now..." Hai Ling's expression became strange when she said this.
"I heard Huasan has teamed up with someone else. They often go to the card game together, joining forces and always coming back with a full haul. The news has gone viral among the players."
Song Jingchen's expression was very ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and said:
"I have nothing to do with him. He took me with him once, and I paid for the card game once. Or are you making some assumptions on your own? Do you think you can get some pleasure from gossiping in front of me?"
Hai Ling raised her eyebrows slightly. This little thing was even more stubborn than she had imagined. Who gave him the confidence?
He glanced at the man standing next to Song Jingchen. He didn't smell any familiar scent on him. He was probably an unknown person who had just entered the intermediate field.
Hai Ling has a first-level apostle card that can remember the smell of all the players he has met.
That unique smell that emanates from the depths of the soul.
If he encounters something in the game that he has successfully read, he will be able to recognize it if he encounters it again.
For example, even without listening to the voice or looking at the appearance, he could recognize Song Jingchen.
The face simulator is just a useless thing in front of him.
Hai Ling shrugged, her face was too thick.
After he memorized the smell of Yidong, he took his people away, and did not forget to throw a coquettish glance at Song Jingchen when he left.
"As for the payment and goods, why don't you consider me? I'm much cheaper than the flower umbrella."
Song Jingchen's handsome face darkened even more, and he wished he could rush up and kill the man.
However, he could only watch Hai Ling swagger away with his two left and right arms.
"Do you know that person just now?"
After everyone left, Yitu asked.
After Song Jingchen regained his composure, he hesitated for a moment and said:
"I don't know him, but I guess he's the Hyena, the vice-captain of the Tiger Sniffing Team that Huasan mentioned."
Yi Tu's heart moved. He knew that Song Jingchen was talking about this person's nickname, just like Jiang Hanyu was also called the Spade King Devil by other players.
"The hyena has a very keen sense of smell. It can remember the scent of every player, regardless of the number of players, and accurately identify them the next time it meets them."
Song Jingchen's eyes flashed with disgust when he said this. "It's a very disgusting skill card, like a hyena chasing after raw meat and sniffing around."
Yi Tu became somewhat interested as he listened from the side. It seemed that his decision to join the team was the right one.
At least Shen Hao didn't lie to him. The players in the mid-to-high-level card fields have distinct characteristics. Some of them are even well-known, and their props and skill cards are also known to everyone who has been passed around.
Thinking of this, Yi Tu's gaze slowly fell on Song Jingchen, with a conflicted look on his face.
Song Jingchen sighed and said helplessly: "Brother, just say whatever you want to say."
Yitu's eyes lit up. "You've been cuckolded?"
Song Jingchen: “…” Is it really okay to be so direct?!
"Huasan and I, strictly speaking, are... fuck buddies or poker buddies." Song Jingchen smiled bitterly, "Anyway, we're not married."
"I lied to Brother Yu and the others, otherwise I would be too embarrassed."
Yitu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then tell me, aren't you afraid that I'll tell you everything?"
Song Jingchen smiled, "You won't, I can tell at a glance that you are an honest man even more honest than me."
Yitu: “?” Is there any misunderstanding here?
