Chapter 258: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!

The next second.

The live broadcast screen switched again!

At the same time!

Inside the Command Room!

Led by the staff, the newly joined Li Changyu and Shui Ge met with the five experts of the Expert Group.

Seeing them arrive, the five experts stood up one after another to welcome them.

As soon as they met, Liu Xuemin spoke first:

"Dr. Li, I have long admired your name. We in the Expert Group are truly honored that you could come to participate in this program."

Hearing this, Li Changyu reached out to shake his hand, then nodded with a smile in response:

"Elder Liu, you are too kind. Everyone here is an expert in the field of criminal investigation in Huaxia, and I am very happy to be able to fight side by side with you all."

After he finished speaking, Liu Xuemin shook hands with Shui Ge, who was standing to the side: "Hello, I am Liu Xuemin."

"Hello, Liu Lao, I am Wang Yiheng."

After a brief introduction, Liu Xuemin turned slightly to introduce all the members of the Expert Group to the two of them.

After some pleasantries, everyone took their seats one after another.

The topic gradually turned to Chu Chen.

Long before coming to Huaxia, Li Changyu had watched Chu Chen's live broadcast and had heard of his actions!

Especially the Extreme Eight Items he proposed; it could absolutely be called the most stunning crime in the history of human crime!

When the Program Team invited him, Li Changyu didn't even think about it and agreed on the spot.

Because he really didn't want to miss this opportunity to face off against Chu Chen!

Shui Ge was the same.

Before this, he had always been a loyal fan of Simulated Crime. As a master of trace evidence, the anti-reconnaissance methods Chu Chen displayed on the program also aroused his great interest!

After sitting down, Liu Xuemin spoke again:

"First of all, I would like to express my welcome to the two of you. I believe that with your participation, we will definitely achieve good results in this competition. But as I said before, this Chu Chen is not an ordinary criminal. You should have all witnessed his performance in the last competition."

Liu Xuemin's expression was somewhat complex. After scanning the crowd, he continued:

"He possesses all the advantages a criminal should have... demolition, disguise, lock picking, grappling, forgery, costume change, marksmanship, reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, as well as super-strong crisis warning capabilities..."

"His criminal plans are very meticulous, his actions are swift and decisive, and in the last competition, he brought great challenges to our investigative work..."

After Liu Xuemin finished speaking, Chen Zijin, who was on the side, added: "And he seems to have a very good understanding of our investigative methods, always able to avoid our tracking at critical moments."

Li Changyu listened quietly to their introduction, and only after a long while did he ponder and speak:

"This kid is indeed not simple. Before coming here, I watched all his live broadcast recordings. The criminal methods he displayed on the program are indeed very stunning, especially that Eight Challenges; it is truly unheard of..."

"His way of thinking is very unique, different from ordinary criminals. Based on this, we cannot speculate on his criminal motives and psychological state as we would with other criminals, because doing so will only put our investigation in a passive position."

After Li Changyu finished speaking, the other six experts nodded one after another.

In the last competition, it was precisely because they ignored this point that their capture operation was always one step behind Chu Chen!

"The theme of this competition is theft, but given his style of doing things, I don't think he will engage in petty theft like the other contestants..."

After these words, the expressions of the other experts became serious.

A sense of unease constantly lingered in the bottom of his heart!

Scanning the crowd, Li Changyu looked at everyone and continued: "This indeed brings us a great challenge, but I believe that as long as we work together and bring our respective professional advantages into play, we will definitely be able to bring him to justice..."

The next second!

Just as he was speaking, a crisp prompt sound suddenly rang out in the empty Command Room:

【Attention experts, No. 99 Contestant has left the competition preparation room!】

【Attention experts, No. 99 Contestant has left the competition preparation room!】

【Attention experts, No. 99 Contestant has left the competition preparation room!】

According to the program rules, when a contestant leaves the competition preparation room, the Expert Group is allowed to search for clues.

Hearing this prompt, the seven experts immediately perked up and decided to go to the No. 99 competition room to investigate.

There was silence along the way.

When they arrived at the competition preparation room, the Logistics Team had already left.

Only a pile of scattered playing cards remained, still lying quietly on the ground!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned on the spot and couldn't help but frown!

The next second.

After everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Li Changyu bent down and carefully examined the playing cards scattered on the ground.

After some searching, he soon made a discovery. He found four Tarot Cards in a pile of playing cards and held them in his hand!

Seeing these four Tarot Cards, Wang Ruomei leaned over and asked: "What are these?"

"They are Tarot Cards."

While observing the cards in his hand, Li Changyu answered her: "A very ancient divination tool, popular in Europe, with unknown origins. Each card has a specific meaning. These four cards represent the Lovers, the High Priestess, the Hermit, and Death, respectively!"

After he finished speaking, Wang Ruomei asked again: "What do these four cards represent?"

Li Changyu was not a professional Tarot Card player, and he did not know much about Tarot Cards, but he did know the meanings represented by these four cards.

"The Lovers card represents choices and relationships; the High Priestess represents wisdom and mystery; the Hermit represents exploration and introspection; and Death represents an end and a new beginning. In Western society, these four cards are also often used to represent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, symbolizing Famine, Plague, Death, and War..."

"Are you talking about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Chen Zijin suddenly said.

Hearing this, Li Changyu looked at him and nodded.

At this moment, Wang Ruomei said again, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?"

"Mm, according to the records in the Book of Revelation, before the end of the world, the Four Horsemen will descend. At that time, they will bring Plague, Famine, War, and Death to the people who are to undergo the final judgment. According to the prophecy, when these four things appear simultaneously, it is the time when human civilization will head toward extinction..."

After this explanation from Li Changyu and Chen Zijin, a very bad premonition arose in the hearts of the other experts!

Although at present, everyone did not know what these four Tarot Cards that Chu Chen left for them represented.

But based on the two men's descriptions, they knew that Chu Chen's action this time would definitely far exceed their imagination!

And all of this was even more closely connected to these four Tarot Cards!
