Card Room

Chapter 524, Familiar but Strange

When Ye Qi woke up, he found that the surrounding environment was particularly familiar. He was sleeping on a bed in the university dormitory. The wall next to him was covered with posters of his favorite singers. The buddy in the bed opposite was playing computer games. The fat guy in the bed next door was Wearing headphones and listening to music while shaking their heads, only one of them is studying seriously, and what is open on the computer is the review materials left by the teacher. Ye Qi suddenly sat up from the bed and looked at the roommates around him with wide eyes, fearing that these people were predators and would surround him the next moment.

However, a few minutes passed and nothing happened.

The roommates still went their own way and didn't notice Ye Qi's abnormality.

I don’t know how long it took, but the little fat man who was listening to the song got up and went to the toilet. When he met Ye Qi’s eyes, he couldn’t help but froze and said, “Ye Qi, why are you staring at me? You’ve been sleeping for a long time. , It’s already noon, do you want to go downstairs for dinner?”

Ye Qi came back to his senses and asked, "Xiao Pan, what's the date today?"

Roommate Pan Yun said, "December 24th, are you so sleepy that you don't even remember what day it is?" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to touch Ye Qi's forehead, as if he was wondering if Ye Qi had a fever.

Ye Qi's expression changed, he quickly dodged his hand, quickly got dressed and got out of bed, grabbed the mobile phone on the table, and rushed out of the dormitory like a gust of wind, leaving the three roommates looking at each other.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and many students were walking towards the cafeteria. The streets of the campus were crowded with people, and there were many couples holding hands and snuggling up to each other. They were surrounded by familiar faces, which made Ye Qi feel a little dazed for a moment.

When the two girls saw Ye Qi, they walked over to him. The squad leader with a ponytail said, "Ye Qi, I heard that you are going to participate in the singing competition." The curly-haired girl next to him smiled sweetly and looked at Ye Qi and said, "We will go to the scene to give you a song." You’re the one cheering me on, come on.”

Ye Qi was in a complicated mood. He clearly remembered that at noon on December 24th, he did meet these two girls when he went downstairs to eat. These two were his best friends in college. At that time, they happened to talk about each other. These are these two sentences.

This situation is very much like the past reappearing.

Ye Qi took a deep breath to calm down and said as calmly as possible, "Thank you. I'm going to the cafeteria for dinner, can you two come together?"

The girl said, "Okay, we happen to be going to the cafeteria too."

Ye Qi followed them alertly all the way to the cafeteria.

The crowded university cafeteria, the long queues during peak hours, the aroma of the food in his memory, and the familiar faces at the meal window all made Ye Qi think that he was back in school in the real world.

He touched his pocket and found that the card holder was not on him.

Although Ye Qi was nervous in his heart, he was smiling on the outside and queued up for lunch with his two classmates.

After finishing the meal, he was not in a hurry to eat. After all, he had been poisoned by food not once or twice in the Spades Chamber. Ye Qi pretended that he had no appetite. While fiddling with the food on the plate, he checked some things with the two of them. "By the way, Professor Zhou." What date is the exam for my class?”

The squad leader said, "January 15th, there is still half a month to review." Ye Qi said, "That's okay." His class will be the first period in the afternoon, monitor, can you help me ask for leave?"

The monitor raised his head and looked at him doubtfully, "Did you remember wrongly that there are no classes this afternoon?"

Ye Qi pretended to have a headache and rubbed his temples, "I just woke up and my brain is confused by sleep. I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach and intestines. Let's go to the bathroom first. You two can eat slowly."

He quickly stood up and left. He thought that these two people would catch up and attack him, but strangely, they did not move. Instead, they smiled at him understandingly and continued to eat, discussing some gossip in the school in low voices.

Ye Qi went downstairs with doubts.

Are these people not hunters? What is the mission of this secret room?

With none of his teammates around, Ye Qi thought about it and decided to contact Shao Qingge first. The secret code that Mr. Shao told his teammates happened to be a series of numbers. It should be his private mobile phone number. Not many people knew it, so it was difficult to be impersonated.

Ye Qi dialed the number based on the numbers in his memory. After a few beeps, Shao Qingge's lazy voice soon came to his ears: "Hey, who's there?"

Ye Qi said excitedly, "Mr. Shao, it's me."

Shao Qingge said with confusion, "Who are you?"

Ye Qi thought he didn't recognize his voice, so he hurriedly said, "I'm Xiaoye."

Shao Qingge said lazily, "Xiaoye, is that the young master that Lao Chen forced on me at the nightclub yesterday? I've never touched you. Why, you called my private number because you want money?"

Ye Qi ""

Ye Qi froze on the spot, not knowing how to respond. After a moment, he said doubtfully, "Master, you went to a nightclub last night, are you so immoral in your private life?"

Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows, "Are you taking too much care?"

The more Ye Qi listened, the more upset he became. He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Mr. Shao, now is not the time for joking. I will come find you wherever you are. We must join you as soon as possible. This world is too strange."

Shao Qingge chuckled and said, "What are you talking about?"

The two chatted for a while, and Ye Qi suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Although Mr. Shao usually likes to tease him, at critical moments, Shao Qingge can always distinguish the important from the important. Now Shao Qingge couldn't even understand "meeting with teammates". The only possibility was that Shao Qingge was not joking with him, but that the Shao Qingge on the other end of the phone was not the Shao Qingge he knew.

Realizing this, Ye Qi felt a chill go down his spine and simply hung up the phone.

he

Quickly walk out of the school and walk west along the sidewalk.

Jiangzhou Conservatory of Music is located in a university town built by the government in recent years. Jiangzhou Medical University happens to be in this area. Liu Qiao is a student of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the Medical University, and Xiao Lou is a professor of forensic medicine at the Medical University.

Since Shao Qingge was not himself, Ye Qi wanted to go to the Medical University to try and see if he could find other teammates. The distance between the two schools was no more than one kilometer, and Ye Qi soon arrived at the gate of the Medical University.

As the end of the semester approaches, students from the Medical University are in a hurry, carrying schoolbags and riding bicycles. Most of them are walking towards the teaching building and library.

A handsome young man wearing glasses and a white coat came over. He should have just come out of the laboratory building, carrying a cage of white mice in his hand. Ye Qi asked politely, "Hello, senior, please ask the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Where is the student dormitory?”

The handsome guy adjusted his glasses and said, "Are you looking for a boys' dormitory or a girls' dormitory?"

Ye Qi coughed lightly, "Girl."

The boy pointed forward, "Take the second intersection and turn right. That's the red building in the dormitory area."

Ye Qi thanked him, walked forward for a while, and soon found the red dormitory building he mentioned. There happened to be two girls who had eaten in the cafeteria and were walking to the dormitory building together. Ye Qi quickly stepped forward to stop them and asked with a smile, "Hello, do you know which dormitory Liu Qiao, a freshman from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, lives in? I have something to do. Find her."

The two girls looked at him curiously, looking at him from beginning to end, which made Ye Qi feel a little uncomfortable. He bravely accepted the girls' gazes and forced a smile on his face.

After a moment, the girl smiled and said, "Wait a minute, Liu Qiao is my roommate, I'll go upstairs and call her right now."

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky that I happened to meet Xiao Liu's roommate.

Ye Qi hurriedly said, "Thank you."

The two girls went upstairs, opened the dormitory door, and said to Liu Qiao, who was immersed in reading at the table, "Liu Qiao, there is a handsome guy downstairs looking for you. Tell me honestly, is he your boyfriend?"

Liu Qiao's face was expressionless, "Don't be ridiculous, I don't know any handsome guy."

The girl pulled Liu Qiao to the window and pointed downstairs, "Here, that's the one. I'm looking for Liu Qiao, a freshman in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, by name. Tell me, besides you, there is a second person in our Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine." Liu Qiao?"

Liu Qiao raised his eyebrows, then changed his clothes and said, "I'll go take a look."

The roommates were snickering behind them and whispering together. Liu Qiao turned back and looked at them coldly, "Don't think nonsense, don't talk nonsense. I don't know this boy at all."

She turned and walked out, leaving her roommates looking at each other.

After going downstairs, Liu Qiao glanced at Ye Qi in front of him indifferently. As his roommate said, he was indeed a handsome boy. He had good features and fair skin. He was dressed in casual clothes and white sneakers. He looked like a youthful and energetic man of seventeen or eighteen years old. , an energetic young man.

Liu Qiao walked up to Ye Qi and said calmly, "Classmate, you are looking for me."

The "Xiao Liu" Ye Qi blurted out was stuck in his throat. He swallowed the title with difficulty and asked tentatively, "Liu Qiao, you don't recognize me anymore."

Liu Qiao had a paralyzed face and said in a cold voice, "Should I know you? I don't remember where we have met."

Ye Qi ""

Seeing that the smile on the young man's face disappeared quickly, and his eyes even widened in surprise, Liu Qiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Classmate, have you found the wrong person? There is another person named Liu Qing in our major, Qingtian Qing, you Is it her you’re looking for?”

Ye Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's okay. I probably admitted my mistake."

He turned around and left, looking a little disappointed. After taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Do you know Professor Xiao?"

Liu Qiao asked "Which Professor Xiao?"

Ye Qi "Professor Xiao Lou from the Department of Forensic Medicine."

Liu Qiao nodded, "I know. Professor Xiao is very popular. Many people are rushing to take his elective courses. I even went to attend."

Ye Qi asked, "Do you know when he has classes? I also want to attend."

Liu Qiao looked at him doubtfully, "Which major are you in?"

Ye Qi casually said, "Clinical department."

Liu Qiao said, "The first class this afternoon is the teaching seat. You can go and reserve your seat in advance."

Ye Qi thanked him and turned to leave.

Two people in a row did not remember him, which made Ye Qi even more confused. Could it be that the collective amnesia of his teammates was not so bloody? Besides, if everyone was really arranged to have collective amnesia, why did he still have memories?

There is something wrong with this world, and something is wrong with Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao.

Xiao Lou had an open class at 2:30 this afternoon. It was now 1 o'clock. Ye Qi took advantage of his lunch break to find the Jiangzhou City Criminal Police Team. The police officer in charge asked him if he needed help. Ye Qi said directly, "I have I want to find important clues from your team, Team Yu."

The policewoman quickly dialed the internal number, and a moment later, Yu Hanjiang walked out of the office.

At this time, Yu Hanjiang happened to be wearing a police uniform, with a cold and serious expression. Facing the man's sharp eyes, Ye Qi couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart, and he bravely met Yu Hanjiang's gaze.

Yu Hanjiang sat at his desk and asked, "Hello, what clues do you want?"

This Yu Hanjiang didn't recognize him at first glance. Ye Qi was quick to think and said in a low voice, "I was threatened. Yesterday, a man named Lu Jiuchuan sent a dead rat to my dormitory. He said that I stole his girlfriend and he wanted me." I have met Lu Jiuchuan. He works in a bar. His arms are covered with tattoos and he has a knife on his waist. He is very scary. Can I apply for police protection? I am really afraid that he will attack me."

Yu Hanjiang frowned and interrupted him, "Lu Jiuchuan"

Ye Qi nodded, "Yes, that person's name is Lu Jiuchuan."

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment and then said, "Give the relevant evidence to the police and we will deal with it."

Ye Qi stood up in a hurry, "I was too nervous when I went out just now and didn't have time to take it with me. I'll go back and get it right now."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran away.

After running all the way out of the police station gate, Ye Qi stopped by the tree, holding on to the tree and panting. His thoughts were a little confused, but after taking a few deep breaths to calm down, a suspicion gradually emerged from his mind.

Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao didn't recognize him, and neither did Yu Hanjiang.

It's impossible for all his teammates to have amnesia and only he has memories. In that case, this secret room would be too unfair to other teammates. Thinking back to the behavior of the roommates when they woke up in the dormitory just now, and what Xiaopang said about today’s date: December 24th

This time is of the essence.

The time of his accident was on 2p\u003e But it is now December, which means that he has not yet encountered an accident and been drawn into the card world. Therefore, it was normal for Shao Qingge and Liu Qiao not to know Ye Qi in December, and it was even less likely that Detective Yu Hanjiang would know him, a less famous student, on December 24.

Assuming that these people are not hunters, it is more likely that they have returned to the past world.

How to find future teammates in the past world?

Ye Qi fell into deep thought. He couldn't think of a good way, so he could only take a taxi and return to the Medical University.

It was exactly 2:10 in the afternoon when he arrived at the school. Ye Qi went to the teaching building to find the classroom Liu Qiao mentioned and took a seat in advance. There was a public lecture by Xiao Lou this afternoon. He wanted to try his luck again and take a look at Xiao Lou. Reaction.

Professor Xiao is indeed very popular. Before class time, the classroom is full of people.

At half past two, a handsome young man wearing a clean white shirt walked into the classroom on time. He smiled slightly at the audience, and his graceful, elegant and calm temperament immediately attracted the attention of all the students in the audience.

Xiao Lou opened the t and said, "Hello, classmates, today's public lecture is to introduce you to some basic knowledge in forensic identification."

This class is about the difference between strangulation marks and constriction marks in forensic trace identification. There are also several interesting cases interspersed in it. Xiao Lou talks eloquently on the podium, and the students in the audience listen with interest. Ye Qi sat in the corner and tried to minimize his presence. It was not until after class that he followed Xiao Lou to the teachers' lounge.

Ye Qi knocked on the door and said, "Professor Xiao, I have a question I would like to ask. Is it convenient?"

A gentle voice came from inside the house, "Please come in."

Ye Qi walked into the room. When Xiao Lou saw him, he smiled slightly, "Xiao Ye, why did you come to school to find me?"

Every time his teammates looked at him like a "stranger", now when he met Xiao Lou's gentle gaze, Ye Qi felt very happy and immediately walked over and said, "Professor Xiao, remember me."

Xiao Lou said, "Of course, why do you ask if other teammates don't remember you?"

Ye Qi smiled and scratched his head, "Well, I haven't found the other teammates who made a slip of the tongue in excitement. By the way, you said before that if the Double King's Secret Chamber is in the urban world, they will gather at the largest fountain in the city. Maybe they will all be there. Waiting for someone there, should we go there as soon as possible to have a look?"

Xiao Lou nodded, "Okay, take my car there. I happened to be driving today."

The moment he heard this answer, Ye Qi pretended to be calm on the surface, but his fingers hidden in his pocket suddenly clenched.

None of his teammates knew him, but they finally found someone they knew, and it was Professor Xiao who Ye Qi admired the most. The initial excitement and joy were instantly extinguished as if cold water had been poured on his head.

The secret code Xiao Lou mentioned was not a fountain at all, but the largest Western restaurant in the city.

The Xiao Lou in front of me is definitely a hunter
