Hey! Let's play cards

"We're rich, take it quickly!" You Xin happily picked up the night pearl on the wall.

Li Ming was not so impulsive. He said speechlessly, "We are not sure whether we can get out now. What's the point of taking so many night-shining pearls?"

You Xin, who was busy at work, stopped what he was doing and said, "Yeah! Even if you take it now, you may not be able to take it out!"

After figuring it out, You Xin couldn't help but lose interest, and the night pearl in his hand was casually placed at his feet.

“But who is so generous to arrange so many luminous pearls just for lighting?” You Xin, who was leaning against the wall, said casually.

"I don't know! Who would have thought that there is a passage underground in this villa?"

"This is really strange. Maybe there is some treasure hidden at the other end of the passage." You Xin suddenly came up with this idea.

"possible!"

"You also think it's possible, right? Maybe there's really some amazing treasure waiting for us in there, just as your intuition predicts?" You Xin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he couldn't help but want to see where this passage led to.

Li Ming nodded in support and was also curious about it.

"Hmm...hmm..." Xia Qingrou muttered unconsciously from the side.

The two of them immediately looked down.

Xia Qingrou's eyelids twitched, her whole body was trembling, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to be in a nightmare.

"What's going on?" Li Ming shook Xia Qingrou gently, but there was still no sign of waking up.

You Xin was also very anxious, and in desperation, he came up with a solution, which he didn't know whether it would be useful or not.

"I'm sorry, I did this all to save you!"

You Xin raised his palm, aimed it at Xia Qingrou's cheek, and swung it hard.

Bang! The crisp sound of slapping echoed throughout the entire corridor.

"You haven't woken up yet? Then come again!"

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

A series of slaps sounded here. Li Ming, who was standing by, was stunned by such a violent method of treatment.

But you know what, You Xin’s ridiculous method actually worked.

Xia Qingrou's eyelids slowly opened, and she looked at the two people around her in a daze.

"You finally woke up!" You Xin said first.

After a few seconds, Xia Qingrou finally came to her senses, and the first thing she said was: "My face, why does it hurt so much!"

Chapter 61: Fortune and Misfortune

"Maybe you were hit on the cheek by a brick when you fell!" You Xin said seriously.

"But isn't that right?" Li Ming was about to say something, but was stopped by You Xin's eyes.

"Really? So that's how it is!" Xia Qingrou believed You Xin's explanation.

Li Ming: “…” (￣△￣;)

"Are you okay?" You Xin asked with concern and wanted to go forward to support her.

"Well! I'm fine, I just feel a little dizzy." Xia Qingrou said that she was fine and declined You Xin's kindness.

"Where is this?" Xia Qingrou held onto the wall and slowly stood up.

Li Ming explained: "This is deeper underground, and it seems to be a man-made passage."

Xia Qingrou turned her head and looked around, and she also saw the night pearl on the wall.

"Was it dug by those dark duelists?" Xia Qingrou asked.

You Xin shook his head and denied it: "It shouldn't be. Since they have already dug a basement, they shouldn't dig an additional layer. And judging from the marks on the wall and the night pearl, it was definitely not dug by people of this era."

The lighting method of night-shining pearls would never be used in modern times. You Xin had only heard that the tombs of some ancient dignitaries would be decorated with night-shining pearls.

"Did we fall into a tomb?" You Xin felt that his idea was crazy, but also had a certain rationality.

"An ancient tomb? It's possible!" Li Ming also felt that the layout here was very similar to the ancient tombs in novels.

"Then do you want to go and take a look? We have no way to get out now anyway." You Xin suggested.

"Okay!" Li Ming was the first to agree.

"Sure! We can't do anything if we stay here anyway." Xia Qingrou also agreed to You Xin's proposal.

"There are quite a lot of things happening tonight." You Xin couldn't help but sigh, and Li Ming took the lead and walked in front.

The group walked deeper into the passage.

……

Along the way, Xia Qingrou told a piece of good news.

"What? You have already called the principal." Li Ming was very shocked. He didn't expect that the three of them would have a chance to go out.

"When did you contact me?" You Xin asked curiously.

"Just when someone rushed into the villa regardless of everything."

"Uh..." You Xin heard the resentment in Xia Qingrou's voice and didn't know how to start for a moment.

"But can the principal find us? Don't forget, we are deep underground now." Li Ming asked immediately.

"Don't worry, Dad will definitely find us." Xia Qingrou took out the mobile phone from her pocket and waved it in front of the two of them.

"This phone has a special locator that will allow Dad to find us."

"Oh - so that's how it is. That's great, right! You Xin." Li Ming turned to You Xin and said.

"Yeah, yeah! You're right." You Xin didn't turn around, but continued digging the night pearls on the wall.

Li Ming x Xia Qingrou: "..."

"But there is one strange thing. Why did you fall so far away from the cave entrance?" The two ignored You Xin's actions and started chatting instead.

"Well... I remember that when I fell down, this little guy seemed to pull me up!" Xia Qingrou took out the "Winged Chestnut Ball".

"Then I just remember that my head hurt and I passed out. It must have been it that brought me to a safe place!" Xia Qingrou recalled the situation at that time and explained aloud.

But in Xia Qingrou's memory, there seemed to be two rays of light, surrounding You Xin and Li Ming respectively.

Xia Qingrou herself was not sure whether this matter was real or an illusion, so she did not mention it to Li Ming.

The three of them knew each other. Xia Qingrou had communicated a lot with You Xin, but she had said very few words to Li Ming. Unexpectedly, they started talking in this tunnel today.

"I didn't expect this dark-skinned boy to be so interesting. I heard that he also defeated a dark duelist. I wonder how strong he is?" Xia Qingrou thought silently in her heart and began to take some interest in Li Ming.

Xia Qingrou expressed on the spot that she wanted to arrange a card game with Li Ming. Li Ming, who always loved playing cards, readily agreed.

You Xin finally caught up with the two men, and his pockets on both sides were bulging with night-shining pearls.

"Are you sure you don't want two? Just consider it as a souvenir!" You Xin couldn't stop smiling, and his eyes were full of RMB symbols.

But neither of them had any interest in it. If the wall was embedded with cards, they might have risked their lives like You Xin.

Soon, the group arrived at the end of the passage, where there was only a heavy stone door.

"What a thick stone door." You Xin knocked on the stone door, and the echo that came back proved that the stone door was extremely thick.

You Xin and Li Ming grabbed the crack of the door and exerted force from both sides, trying to open it.

"Ha——" The two men tried their best but failed to shake the stone gate at all.

Xia Qingrou also went forward and tried, but it was of no use.

"It turns out that brute force won't work." You Xin stopped.

"Maybe there is some switch here?" Li Ming said, panting.

"It's possible. Let's look around!"

The three of them began to look around carefully to see if there were any hidden switches.

You Xin and Xia Qingrou searched the walls on both sides, while Li Ming was attracted by the stone door.

Li Ming pressed his hand against the door, and the feeling of being called by the person just now became even clearer.

Following this strange feeling, Li Ming closed his eyes and felt the entire stone wall with his hands.

When I brushed past a place, I felt an uneven touch.

"What is this?" Li Ming opened his eyes and looked towards that place.

"This looks like a picture?" Li Ming quickly called the two of them over.

You Xin went forward to take a look and saw that these strange symbols were painted on the stone gate with some kind of red paint.

The symbols are related to each other, and it seems to be some kind of picture.

Xia Qingrou carefully wiped away the dust on the surface, and the complete picture finally appeared in front of everyone.

Based on these strange symbols and the matchstick-shaped figures, the three of them discussed and roughly guessed what the painting was trying to express.

The picture depicts a person's life. A long time ago, there was a card-playing expert who used his powerful dueling skills to defeat one powerful enemy after another.

Even the legendary god-level monsters were defeated by him. People who came to him because of his fame surrounded him, and over time, he gradually formed a powerful empire.

But one day, the sky was suddenly shrouded in darkness, and the king met the most powerful opponent in his life.

The duel was so fierce that the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light. The aftermath of the duel easily destroyed an entire city.

In the end, the king was defeated for the first time.

Darkness came like a flood, and the king's soul was split into two halves, one half fell into darkness, and the other half was taken away by a winged demon.

Darkness enveloped everything, including the King's empire and all the people.

After reading this story, the three were speechless for a long time.

You Xin had the biggest reaction. What did he see in the picture?

The phantom demon, the extreme god, the earthbound god, and a giant snake of unknown length, those powerful monsters that are familiar to everyone, even if they are conveyed through pictures, one can feel the unfathomable power in them.

And these god-level elves that the duelists dreamed of all fell at his feet. What shocked You Xin the most was the sheep head symbol represented in the darkness.

Darkness, the source of darkness, is the strongest existence born from the darkness in people’s hearts.
