Chapter 187 - Lucky Draw Part 2 (1/2)

Xiao Lou’s ‘brother’ actually appeared in front of everyone again as a card.

As early as 2 of Spades Zombie Tower, Xiao Lou had drawn the zombie leader Liu Xiaoyuan who had been imprisoned in the hospital. At that time, Xiao Lou knew that characters in the world of secret rooms could also change into cards.

He just hadn’t expected the little brother temporarily arranged for him in 8 of Hearts would actually become a card!

Although the memories of this brother were fict.i.tious, he saw the familiar face of the young person on the card and couldn’t help thinking of his brother’s dependence, trust, help and protection in that world…

The memories of the two of them growing up together meant Xiao Lou couldn’t help summoning Xiao Yu from the card.

Everyone looked at this proud younger brother who was similar in appearance to Xiao Lou. A copy of the real person stood quietly beside Xiao Lou, not speaking.

Ye Qi, Shao Qingge and the others looked at this summoning card and found it very novel. They all quickly came over. Yu Hanjiang thought of this person’s hostility toward him and frowned. “Does he have any self-awareness?”

A of Hearts smiled. “Is a card conscious, do you think?”

Tao Yuanming, Liu Yong, Li Qingzhao, Su s.h.i.+… these characters all obviously didn’t have a consciousness. They never communicated with Xiao Lou and only used skills after they were summoned. Then what about characters from the Card World like Liu Xiaoyuan and Xiao Yu? Did they have a consciousness?

Xiao Lou wasn’t sure. He walked in front of Xiao Yu and tentatively patted the other person’s shoulder, asking softly, “Ah Yu? Can you hear me?”

Xiao Yu turned to look at him. “Brother, your clothes are too strange.”

Xiao Lou’s eyes were slightly wide. “Do you recognize me?”

Xiao Yu’s expression was confused. “You are my brother. I will certainly recognize you, even if you change your clothes.”

Xiao Lou, “…”

Yu Hanjiang walked over and asked, “Do you know me?”

Xiao Yu frowned and swept his eyes over Yu Hanjiang like he was seeing a stranger.

Ye Qi asked curiously, “He only knows his brother and no one else?”

A of Hearts nodded. “This type of card is called a ‘fetter card’ in the secret world. It has a special relations.h.i.+p with a challenger and only listens to the orders of a specific person. For example, Xiao Yu will only listen to Xiao Lou’s instructions. If this card is given to someone else, there is no way to activate it.”

Previously, cards drawn in the secret room could be used casually. For example, Li Qingzhao and Qin Guan would be handed over to Xiao Lou’s teammates when necessary. However, this time Xiao Yu was different. A fetter card must be used by the designated challenger. Xiao Yu only recognized his brother and only his brother could activate him.If Qu Wanyue went to draw a card just now, perhaps the Ninth Princess would’ve been drawn.

Xiao Lou looked at the tall young man in front of him and put the card away with a smile.

This was just a card and it wasn’t really Xiao Yu. The real Xiao Yu became a famous general in 8 of Hearts and died at the age of 70. The Xiao Yu summoned now was just a card form, similar to Liu Xiaoyuan drawn from Zombie Town.

Yu Hanjiang saw Xiao Lou put away his cards and whispered, “This is like your own personal bodyguard?”

Xiao Lou nodded. “Yes, the card strength is indeed worthy of being S-grade. Unfortunately, the restriction is too big and only I can activate it.”

Shao Qingge gave a smile that wasn’t a smile. “You have acquired a little brother who is determined to follow you.”

Xiao Lou was very happy when thinking about this little brother he could see at any time in the future. Yu Hanjiang also didn’t mind. There was a little brother to protect Xiao Lou. If Xiao Lou was in danger then there would be one more protection.

The harvest from the draw this time was very rich. Xiao Yu’s bodyguard card meant Xiao Lou didn’t have as much to fear from the Spades room. Meanwhile, Old Mo drew the marble as well as the Perspective Converter that could be used in a maze. Their strengths were worthy of S-grade cards.

After a rest, the group returned to the villa.

They had opened 8 of Hearts together on Friday and now they returned to the City of the Moon late at night.

Old Mo looked at the clock on the wall. “It is 12:30 on Monday… It seems the time flow rate is very fast. Decades pa.s.sed in the plot and it has only been dozens of hours in the City of the Moon?”

Ye Qi was excited. “I remember that the instance clearance reminded me that the time flow rate is one year in 8 of Hearts is only one hour in the main city.”

It was precisely because of this that Yu Hanjiang wanted to ask Xiao Lou if they should spend more time in the ancient world. It was because even after a few years there, it would only be a few hours in the main city.

Xiao Lou hadn’t understood Yu Hanjiang’s meaning and wanted to come back as soon as possible.

Yu Hanjiang also didn’t say ‘I want to be husband and wife with you a few more days’ and directly followed Xiao Lou back.

Since it was early in the morning, it wasn’t good to continue to break through. The time flow rate was different, making it even more of a headache than the time difference. Everyone couldn’t adjust for a while to the conversion from ancient world to modern world. He suggested, “Shall we go to bed first and think about things tomorrow?”

Xiao Lou agreed. “Yes, everyone should restore their energy. Have a good rest and we’ll talk again.”

The group went back to their rooms to wash up and sleep.

After was.h.i.+ng, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang walked together to the door of their bedrooms.

Their teammates were so tired that they fell asleep instantly. The village was so quiet that Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang could hear each other’s heartbeats and breaths.
