Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 360 - City of the Sun

Who was Brother Jiu?

Everyone was puzzled by Yu Hanjiang's words except for Xiao Lou and Shao Qingge, who already knew about it.

Yu Hanjiang explained to everyone, "Lu Jiuchuan is my cousin. In reality he is Major Lu-the leader of the Sharp Arrow Commandos. He died during a mission and I have been to worship in front of his grave with my family. I didn't expect to meet him in the Card World."

This explanation stunned everyone. A person buried in a grave actually appeared in the Card World?

Ye Qi had a dazed face. "Group Leader Yu, your cousin has been buried in a grave. Can he still go back like the keeper said? What will he do after go back? Take over a corpse?"

The team members, "......

Xiao Ye's words dumbfounded everyone.

Xiao Lou was the one who answered. "Group Leader Yu also had this doubt when he first saw his cousin. Later, we analyzed it and I speculated that if we successfully pass all levels and return to reality, the keepers can adjust the time node so we can go back to the past with our memories. We just have to avoid the accident and can continue to live."

Qu Wanyue heard this and a trace of excitement appeared on her face. "Professor Xiao, do you mean that everyone will be collectively sent back to the past knowing the day we will encounter the accident? This way, we can avoid the accident in advance? For example, the date of my wedding to Long Sen was February 14th on Valentine's Day. If we go back to the past, we can revise the wedding date to avoid the car accident?"

Xiao Lou nodded. "Theoretically, this is the case. Otherwise, it would be impossible to resurrect Brother Jiu who has already been cremated."

Ye Qi scratched his head in a puzzled manner. "If it is like this, we can survive in reality. The problem is if we go back to the past with our memories, can we also save the lives of others? For example, I know someone who has failed to clear the instance. If I know the day he got into the accident, can I save him in advance? Then he can survive even if he doesn't pass the instance in the Card World?"

Xiao Lou answered, "I also don't know about this question. Perhaps only the keepers can explain it."

Yu Hanjiang said, "The keepers can freely control time which is why the time and flow rate of each secret room is different. Xiao Lou is just speculating about how we can return to the real world. The final interpretation rights belong to the keepers. The only thing we can do now is reach the condition of clearing all the secret rooms in order to return."

The team members nodded in agreement. Only by clearing all the instances would they finally discover the way to go back to the real world. This was the only solution at present.

Liu Qiao calmly said, "Group Leader Yu, you said you would take us to find Brother Jiu. Does that mean your cousin is willing to join us?"

"Yes." Yu Hanjiang briefly summarized it, "He built a very good team. Unfortunately, they were wiped out in J of Clubs. All of them were eliminated and entered the Nightmare Room. In the end, only four people survived the Nightmare Room."

"These four people are very strong and are willing to cooperate with us." Xiao Lou continued. "If they join us, the strength of our team will be greatly improved."

"Great." Ye Qi didn't think much and was excited. "People that Professor Xiao wants to cooperate with definitely won't be bad. If strong helpers join, the Spades level should be easier in the future? Our combat cards are still too few."

"Putting aside Brother Jiu, are the other three people trustworthy?" Liu Qiao inquired calmly.

"We also had doubts about this at first but after a brief period of investigation, I feel they are credible. All three of them are teammates who risked their lives with Brother Jiu. One of them even lost his legs in the Nightmare Room."
