After seeing the plot of the 3 of Hearts room, Xiao Lou’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time. As Xie Xinghe stated in the end, Si Han and Ying Xiaoya were the most innocent while Zhang Qing was very contradictory. She was pitiful, sad but also hateful. Her heart was distorted by hatred and she eventually became the most disgusting person. The death penalty was her best ending.
However, Xiao Lou didn’t expect Xie Xinghe to become a police officer. Was there a follow-up to his story?
He remembered in 2 of Hearts when the murderer Zhao Sen left with his cousin’s body. Xiao Lou couldn’t help looking at A of Hearts and asking, “I remember you said that I might encounter Zhao Sen in the future. Then in future secret rooms, are we likely to encounter Xie Xinghe who has become a policeman?”
A of Hearts smiled. “Zhao Sen and Xie Xinghe, these characters will become free people after completing the plot of their secret rooms. Of course, it is possible you will meet them but the probability is low.”
Xiao Lou wondered, “Free people? What do you mean by that?”
“Most people in the Card World have their own living areas. For example, Ying Xiaoya and Zhang Qing will remain in the 3 of Hearts secret room. Those who don’t die in the secret room won’t be confined to a fixed room but may also appear in other secret rooms.”
For the sake of understanding, A of Hearts gave an example. “For example, Xie Xinghe was admitted to the police academy at the end of the 3 of Hearts room. In future secret rooms, if there is a police school environment or a police officer, you might meet him because the time flow rate in every secret room isn’t the same.”
Xiao Lou bowed his head and thought about it before opening his mouth. “In other words, Xie Xinghe was a high school student in 3 of Hearts. In 4 or 5 of Hearts, he might be in the police academy. Then in 7 or 8 of Hearts… he has graduated from the police academy?”
A of Hearts smiled and nodded. “Yes.”
The time flow rate, Xiao Lou had seen this concept before. When he entered 3 of Hearts, the secret room told him that the time flow rate in 3 of Hearts was different from the card world. One day there was equivalent to 10 minutes in the Card World.
If each secret room had an independent method of calculating time then ‘free’ people such as Xie Xinghe and Zhao Sen might indeed appear in countless secret rooms at the same time.
The keeper reminded them, “The actions of the free men are bound by the plot in their secret rooms. However, in other secret rooms, we won’t control the free people. They have their own will and might help you… or might kill you.”
Xiao Lou still wasn’t very familiar with the rules of the Card World but it was certain that a dead person could only stay in their secret room. Some free people could leave after the plot of the secret room finished and there was a certain chance they would appear in the other secret rooms.
2 of Hearts had the murderer Zhao Sen while 3 of Hearts had the policeman Xie Xinghe. In future secret rooms, there might be more and more ‘free people’ who would influence the challengers. They would become unstable factors in the secret room, increasing or decreasing the difficulty of the clearance.
The world of countless parallel secret rooms was really complicated.
Xiao Lou pressed against his temples tiredly and requested, “We have perfectly cleared the room. We can draw from the limited card pool, right?”
A of Hearts pointed to the golden treasure chest in front of them. “The two of you have signed a contract and the perfect clearance will only give one treasure chest. Please draw from it.”
Xiao Lou glanced at Yu Hanjiang. “Group Leader Yu, do you want to come?”
Yu Hanjiang thought of his drawn gun and shoes and then Tao Yuanming and the compass that Xiao Lou had drawn. He decisively said, “You do it.”
Xiao Lou didn’t protest and stepped forward, reaching into the treasure chest.
He drew out a golden S card.
