【Chapter 1, Card World】
In the twelfth month of winter, the temperature dropped sharply, and the heavy snow for several days turned the whole Jiangzhou city into a world wrapped in silver.
The school was on winter vacation, and the students had already gone home. Xiao Lou was sent by the department to attend an academic exchange meeting. The meeting lasted until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. After a day of rest, he packed up his luggage and flew back to his hometown to spend the New Year with his grandparents.
When he was young, his parents were too busy with work. Xiao Lou lived with his grandparents in the countryside for a period of time. At that time, he was too young to remember his childhood. But he would go back to his hometown every Spring Festival, because the New Year reunion is the tradition of the Xiao family, father and uncle would bring their wives and children home to eat New Year’s Eve dinner together and watch the New Year together.
It was the afternoon of New Year's Eve when Xiao Lou arrived home. As soon as he entered the house, his cousin Xiao Xinyue greeted him and smiled and said: "Brother, why did you arrive so late? Grandma was still talking about you just now!" She leaned over. , Whispered in Xiao Lou's ear, "Why don't you get married yet."
Xiao Lou: "..."
When you go home during the holidays, you will be urged to marry by your elders.
Xiao Lou is indeed an "older unmarried youth", and he is still a single dog at the age of 27.
He went to school early and was admitted to the medical school at the age of 17. Xiao Lou has a mild personality, a tall stature, and a very handsome appearance. Logically speaking, with conditions like him, he should be very popular in the blind date market...
It's a pity that he studied forensic medicine.
When you hear the word "forensic", people will naturally think of a corpse. Who likes to be with the man who dissects the corpse every day
In fact, Xiao Lou is not a forensic doctor in the criminal investigation system, and he does not need to go to the murder scene to identify the cause of death.
After graduation, he stayed at the Medical University under the recommendation of his tutor. He usually teaches students in the Department of Forensic Medicine most of the time. In his spare time, he will go to the Forensic Appraisal Center in Jiangzhou City to help. The cases sent to the appraisal center are usually car accidents, fights, injuries, and occasionally genetic tests, poison tests, etc. He hasn't seen a corpse for a long time.

After arriving in the living room, Xiao Lou politely greeted the elders and distributed the gifts he brought to everyone. The grandma looked at him with a smile and asked, "Xiaolou, when will you bring your grandma back with a granddaughter-in-law?"
Xiao Lou squeezed his shoulders to the old man, and said softly: "Grandma, I am too busy with work now. I want to wait until I am 30 to consider marriage."
Xiao Xinyue booed aside: "Brother, if you were studying clinical medicine and going to the hospital to be a doctor, there would be a lot of girls queuing to chase you because of your looks. As a result, when I heard that you were a forensic doctor, most of the girls were You scared away, hahaha."
Xiao Lou raised his head to look at his sister, smiling nonchalantly: "This is professional prejudice. Forensic doctors don't dissect living people. It's not as perverted as in horror movies. Moreover, I haven't touched a corpse for a long time."
Hearing the word "corpse", Xiao Xinyue's scalp became numb and immediately turned and ran away.
Just when the restaurant was about to start dinner, Xiao Lou helped her grandma to sit down, and changed the subject to ask Xiao Xinyue: "Do you have any plans to sign up for next year?"
The youngest cousin, Xiao Xinyue, is 18 years old and will face the college entrance examination next semester. When Xiao Lou asked this, the topic of the elders also changed to what kind of profession a girl reported to find a job in the future. Xiao Xinyue actively joined the discussion, and no one mentioned Xiao Lou's marriage again, which made Xiao Lou a little relieved.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the elders started playing mahjong, while Xiao Lou took his cousin to the next room to play.
Xiao Xinyue took out a brand new set of playing cards and said, "The three of us are playing Fighting Landlords. How about a drink for the loser?"
My cousin Xiao Wei rolled up his sleeves, his face eager to try: "Come on, I am the best at fighting the landlord!"
Xiao Lou is not interested in playing cards, but every year when he returns to his old parents during the Spring Festival, he will always have a table of mahjong. It is too boring for his younger brother and sister to play cards. He had to accompany them as the eldest brother.
Fighting the landlord is one of the most common playing methods in poker. The rules are simple. When a "landlord" person can add a few cards to improve combat effectiveness, the other two "farmers" need to unite two to play one. The two sides are divided into two camps. Whoever plays the card first wins.
Xiao Lou's first hand was very good, and he directly touched Wang Zhan.
Seeing the king and king in his hand, he said without hesitation: "Call the landlord."
Xiao Xinyue and Xiao Wei had to fight him together.
In the end, Xiao Lou's cards were a bit too good. In addition to the straights of 9, 10, J, Q, and K, there were also a few pairs, four of 5 blows, and a pair of king blows. They were simply not given to opponents. Stay alive.
The younger brother and sister watched him play all the cards in one breath.
Xiao Lou smiled slightly: "I won, you guys drink Coke."
Xiao Xinyue and Xiao Wei had to drink Coke with bitter expressions.
Next, whether Xiao Xinyue calls the landlord or Xiao Wei sits in the house, he will be beaten every time by his eldest brother—Xiao Lou's card luck tonight is so good that people can’t comment on it. He touched Wang Fried several times, and his younger brothers and sisters drank drinks. Almost vomiting.
The three played cards until 12 o'clock in the morning.
There was deafening firecrackers outside. The younger brother and sister excitedly ran to the yard to set off fireworks. Xiao Lou was wearing a coat and just about to go out, when his mobile phone suddenly turned on, a message popped up on the screen: "Happy New Year." ."
Sender: Yu Hanjiang.
Seeing this familiar snow scene head, Xiao Lou's lips raised slightly, and he quickly replied, "So are you, Happy New Year."
Yu Hanjiang asked: "What date will you go back to school?"
Xiao Lou said: "Go back after the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
Yu Hanjiang said: "Thank you for your help last time. Come back and invite you to dinner."
Xiao Lou said: "Team Yu is polite, please contact me again when you come back."
There was a "bang" sound outside the window, and fireworks of various colors bloomed one after another, lighting up the night sky as bright as day.
Xiao Lou was in front of the window, looking at the conversation record on the phone, and the scene of seeing Yu Hanjiang for the first time appeared in his mind.
It was a rainy day, and a girl from the Medical University fell to her death, alarming the criminal police in Jiangzhou. Xiao Lou is not familiar with the girl, but the last class the girl took happened to be his class. As a person involved in the case, Xiao Lou was asked by the police to make a transcript.
Walking into the criminal police brigade, he saw the man at first sight—the man was wearing a dark blue police uniform, standing straight by the window, tall, with long legs, and his side handsome like the most delicate statue.
As if perceiving the gaze from the side, the man turned to look at Xiao Lou, walked over and nodded at him, and said, "Hello, I am Yu Hanjiang, the head of the serious crime team of the Criminal Police Brigade. Please come and cooperate with the investigation."
Xiao Lou nodded politely at him: "Hello team Yu, I will definitely cooperate with all my strength."
Yu Hanjiang walked into the inquiry room with Xiao Lou, made a "please sit" gesture, and said faintly: "Name, age, occupation, these are all necessary procedures for transcripts, please answer truthfully."
In the process of making the transcript, the man's voice was deep and powerful, his expression was extremely serious, his eyes were sharp as a sword, and he gave a strong sense of oppression. He was staring at him and he almost couldn't breathe.
Even if Xiao Lou is not directly related to this matter, he doesn't want to look directly into his eyes.
-Those eyes are deep and icy, like a frozen lake in the twelfth lunar month of winter, chilling the back.
The speed of solving the case was much faster than Xiao Lou expected, and it was determined to be a murder. The police caught the murderer the next day. It was the girl's roommate who pushed her downstairs. This incident also caused a sensation on the Internet.
At that time, Xiao Lou had a great improvement in the efficiency of the Jiangzhou Criminal Police Brigade in solving cases.
He inquired about Yu Hanjiang through the forensic classmates he knew. It is said that Yu Hanjiang's background has become a mystery, but he suddenly parachuted in at a young age to serve as the head of the criminal police squad. The serious crime team is an action team set up in Jiangzhou to detect major criminal cases such as murder and rape. Since Yu Hanjiang took office, he has solved many outstanding cases, greatly improving the efficiency of case handling.
This man is selfless, cold-blooded, and ruthless, making criminals frightened by the news. Just a vicious glance over can make people with a guilty conscience tremble. It is said that he is very good at interrogating prisoners, and even the tenacious suspects will plead guilty under his interrogation. In just two years, Yu Hanjiang's name has become a legend in the police circle of Jiangzhou.
After hearing about his deeds, Xiao Lou admired the man very much and felt that Yu Hanjiang was also young and promising.
Thinking that there would not be much overlap with him, within a few days, Yu Hanjiang suddenly found the office of the Forensic Appraisal Center and asked Xiao Lou to help identify an extremely rare poison. Xiao Lou specialized in forensic toxicology identification at the graduate level and published several highly valuable papers. He was quite famous in the forensic field. Yu Hanjiang approached him, and the two also left WeChat and phone calls with each other.
Xiao Lou assisted the police in investigating this nasty poisoning case, and Yu Hanjiang's "thank you for help" referred to this favor. The two have seen each other four times, all because of work, and their friendship is not deep. Therefore, the always indifferent team Yu offered to invite him to dinner, and Xiao Lou was also very surprised.
Xiao Lou, who was in the memory by the window, did not notice that the playing cards on the table suddenly glowed with a blood-red luster at this moment. The luster gradually formed a whirlpool, and the space near the cards was also distorted. It's like sucking everything around into the card.
***
On the seventh day of the new year, Xiao Lou said goodbye to his family and flew back to Jiangzhou. Thinking of the WeChat conversation on New Year’s Eve, Xiao Lou simply sent a message to Yu Hanjiang: “Team Yu, I’m back. What day do you have time to have a meal together?”
There is no response to the message.
He thought that the other party might be busy, so he sat on the sofa in the living room while reading the news while waiting for a reply.
Seeing that the time for dinner was over, Yu Hanjiang still didn't reply.
After all, Team Yu has a special identity, and if he doesn't reply to the news, it may be that he has encountered a tricky case and is investigating and collecting evidence on the spot. Xiao Lou was very witty and didn't bother him anymore, so he went downstairs and ate a bowl of noodles casually.
He was eating noodles and wanted to go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, but when he was crossing the road, he suddenly saw a bus rushing towards him at the corner—
Xiao Lou's eyes widened, his heartbeat almost stagnated!
He ran quickly, but the speed of the bus was too fast. As soon as he took a step, his body was slammed and flew out!
Suddenly, Xiao Lou lost consciousness completely after a sudden turn of the sky.
***
When I woke up again, there was a white mist around him. In the fuzzy fog, a cold mechanized voice was clearly transmitted to the ear: "Xiao Lou, congratulations on being selected by the card world. You are now faced with two choices—
A: If you die with peace of mind and forget everything, your soul will die completely, and you will never be sick.
: Keep the memory to the card world to rebirth, and accept new challenges. However, the rules of survival in the card world are very cruel. Perhaps if you live here, you might as well just die. "
Xiao Lou had some doubts.
Is this sound an illusion? Give him two weird options
Because he did not respond, the cold mechanical voice spoke again: "Give you 10 seconds to consider. The amnestic countdown is running, 10, 9, 8..."
Xiao Lou resolutely said: "I choose."
Regardless of whether the sound is an illusion or not, he can only choose the latter of the two options.
He was only twenty-seven years old and had a great time, but he didn't want to erase his memory and disappear completely. Just give him a chance to start again, no matter how difficult and dangerous the new world is... At least he is still alive, isn't it
There is hope when you live.
Xiao Lou quickly calmed himself down and asked, "Who are you?"
The other party said coldly: "I am a high-intelligence system wizard in the card world. You can't see me, but I can see you."
The feeling of being watched made Xiao Lou frown. He took a deep breath and continued to ask: "What exactly is the'card world' you are talking about?"
The next moment, countless cards suddenly appeared in front of him.
That was the playing card he used when he played Fighting Landlords with his younger brother and sister on the night of the Spring Festival. The back was a familiar blue diamond pattern, the most common one in the canteen. 5 of hearts, 8 of squares, 10 of clubs, ace of spades... The playing cards of various suits were strung together into a long chain, which swayed quickly in front of him, like a movie film playing at a quadruple speed.
In the white mist, the card chain quickly arranged horizontally and vertically, and the four suits were mixed together. There was no pattern at all. The densely packed playing cards formed a huge face in 10 seconds at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wall of cards.
System: "Player Xiaolou, welcome to the card world."
