How long does the magnetic field shield last? This is the opponent's card; no one knows the exact effect, but you can try it out.
Ye Qi took out his instrument [ flute ].
Flute can control a single target, putting the locked target into a brief 3-second slumber. The cooldown is only about 10 seconds, and the player can play the flute once every 10 seconds. If the skill cannot be used, it means the card's magnetic field shielding effect has not ended. If the skill can be used, it means the opponent's card effect has terminated.
Ye Qi played the flute every 10 seconds, putting Shao Qingge into a deep sleep.
No effect...
Shao Qingge remained perfectly lucid.
While Ye Qi was testing the waters with his skill, Xiao Lou was silently timing it in his mind. This way, he could accurately judge the duration of the [ Card Magnetic Field Shielding ] card in Hunter's hand, so that he could be mentally prepared if he encountered it again in the future.
When Ye Qi tried for the 30th time, Shao Qingge suddenly fell asleep. Yu Hanjiang quickly reached out to support CEO Shao to prevent him from falling into the sea. Ye Qi excitedly exclaimed, " The card skill can be used now!"
Xiao Lou said, "It seems that the shielding magnetic field lasts for 5 minutes."
With a 5-minute cooldown and widespread Card Skill Shielding, this card is already powerful enough.
Lu Jiuchuan said with a grim face, "If we encounter a large number of Hunters, and the opponent uses this card during team fights, we will be at a complete disadvantage."
Xiao Lou said, "Luckily, it's just skill blocking. Weapons like knives and guns should still work, right?"
No one can predict what will happen in the future; we can only adapt to the situation.
Xiao Lou said with a stern face, "Let's connect with Xiao Liu first."
He summoned the Historical Figure Summon —
A bold and unrestrained poet, fanning himself, recited aloud: "The great river flows eastward, its waves sweeping away countless heroes of the past..."
As the familiar words were read aloud, the skills of all the character cards were refreshed. Qin Guan's " Telepathic Connection " changed from an unusable gray to a "usable" green.
Xiao Lou hurriedly established a connection with Liu Qiao, however...
There was no response from the other party.
Before Shao Qingge could even activate his skill, Xiao Lou hurriedly said, "Don't call Liu Qiao, something's happened to Xiao Liu!"
If a Telepathic Connection doesn't respond, there's only one possibility—the other party has lost consciousness.
In the previous tenth stage, when Ye Qi was knocked unconscious, Shao Qingge couldn't connect to the Telepathic Connection either, because Ye Qi had lost consciousness at the time. Just now, Xiao Lou could still communicate with Liu Qiao through the mental channel, but now Liu Qiao is not responding at all, so there is only one explanation—the copy of " Xiao Lou " sensed that they were using the card, quickly came to Liu Qiao's side, and controlled Liu Qiao.
I wonder if Xiao Liu is in any danger?
Xiao Lou immediately opened the contract book, and thankfully, the name " Liu Qiao " had not been erased, proving that she was still alive.
Lu Jiuchuan suggested, "Let's add Mr. Old Gui."
Shao Qingge hurriedly invited Gui Yuanzhang to establish a mental connection. Soon, he heard Gui's hoarse voice in his mind: " CEO Shao? What's up?"
Shao Qingge quickly thought to himself, "Senior, the Xiao Lou you and Liu Qiao met is a fake! The real Xiao Lou is with us. I, Hanjiang, Xiao Ye, Ninth Brother, and Mr. Tang can all vouch for Xiao Lou's identity. Be careful of the Xiao Lou next to you; he's Hunter! Also, Xiao Liu is likely in trouble..."
In Gui Yuanzhang's memory, Shao Qingge always had a lazy and leisurely attitude, but now, the voice in his mind spoke so fast that it was like being chased by a wolf, and every sentence was full of tension.
Gui Yuanzhang rolled out of bed, his voice tinged with doubt: " CEO Shao? Weren't you and Xiao Ye with us at noon today?"
"Want to eat?"
Shao Qingge: "..."
At that moment, he really wanted to swear like Ninth Brother: "Fuck!"
Have lunch together? How could that be?
This afternoon, he was clearly driving a hovercar, leading his teammates around looking for the "invisible man who can sing."
Seeing Shao Qingge's face turn extremely pale, Xiao Lou suddenly had a bad feeling. He asked in a low voice, "Senior Gui, you don't believe me, do you?"
Shao Qingge said with a dark face, "He said that he had lunch with me and Ye Qi at noon today."
Everyone: "......"
Lu Jiuchuan cursed out loud: "Damn! CEO Shao and Ye Qi also have clones? They had lunch with Old Gui, so they must be pirates."
Ye Qi was dumbfounded: "What the heck? Did I also participate in the Noahs Ark Project?"
A chill ran through Xiao Lou's heart.
Only now has he realized just how difficult this escape room was.
If only Xiao Lou was copied hundreds of times, leaving only a few surviving clones, it would be relatively easy to resolve, since everyone only needs to recognize the genuine Xiao Lou.
But now, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi have also appeared as clones?
Is what's around you real?
Xiao Lou turned to look at Shao Qingge and Ye Qi. He believed that the CEO Shao and Ye Qi in front of him were genuine. After spending so much time together, he knew that CEO Shao's skill in copying the [ Rich and Willful ] card was something that no counterfeiter could imitate. Similarly, Ye Qi, a student of his Music Conservatory, habitually played beautiful melodies on the flute, something that was not something that ordinary people could imitate.
Shao Qingge's temples throbbed, and he said in a deep voice, "The Morse code left by my father only recorded the first Noahs Ark Project. But he didn't have time to leave any clues about restarting the project."
Tang Ci said, "So, in other words, when the Noahs Ark Project restarted in 2980, your father likely added your cells back to the experimental group?"
Shao Qingge nodded solemnly: "After all, he signed the proposal and allocated 3 billion star coins to invest in this project. Although the first plan made him uneasy and he went to the laboratory to destroy my specimens, it's hard to guarantee that he will be persuaded again by the second plan. Otherwise, why would he have signed it?"
Xiao Lou also thought this speculation was reasonable: " Since Old Mr. Shao signed the proposal, whether voluntarily or under duress, there is a possibility that he would take his son's cells back for experimentation."
Ye Qi murmured, "I remember, my biological father, General Ye Bowen, also signed the proposal, right? So, my cells were also used for experiments?" The thought that there were clones like him in this world gave Ye Qi goosebumps all over his body.
Shao Qingge asked through the mental channel: "Senior Gui, besides me and Ye Qi, who else do you have as teammates?"
Gui Yuanzhang said, " Xiao Lou, Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Lu Jiuchuan, and Tang Ci."
Shao Qingge: "..."
Lu Jiuchuan met his gaze and couldn't help but shudder: "What's going on? Could it be that I..."
Shao Qingge nodded: " Old Gui has seen your clone with Mr. Tang."
Lu Jiuchuan frowned: "But neither my parents nor Tang Ci's parents were involved in the Noahs Ark Project?"
Yu Hanjiang said with a grim expression, "Ninth Brother, don't forget what happened to you and Mr. Tang on Zerg Planet. The last thing you heard was that strange singing. You were probably rescued by the Merfolk Clan. After they rescued you, they may have taken your cells and created clones... Is that the key reason why you lost your memories?"
Lu Jiuchuan's expression changed: "That makes sense. We really can't remember what happened after we were rescued."
Xiao Lou said, "In other words, the Merfolk Clan is still secretly researching clones. They don't want outsiders to know about this, so they rescued Ninth Brother and Tang Ci, and after taking the cells, they hypnotized you to make you forget this memory before putting you back on the Arrow Starship?"
Lu Jiuchuan clenched his fist tightly: "That's possible."
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou: " If Number 4 Xiao Lou is Hunter, why didn't he just kill Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang directly, but instead hypnotized them and made them return to Capital Star?"
Xiao Lou speculated, "Is it probably a long-term strategy to catch a big fish? If he kills Brother Jiu and Mr. Tang and has the clone replace them and return to Capital Star, you and Brother Jiu are brothers, and the clone will easily be exposed without Brother Jiu's memories. Only by bringing the real person back will we lower our guard."
Yu Hanjiang said knowingly, "He wants to wait until we come looking for Liu Qiao and the other two, then wipe us all out in one fell swoop?"
