Although I gambled online when I was in China, I had never been to a casino.
The only impression I have of casinos is Hong Kong movies.
I used to watch "God of Gamblers" and "The Gambler" when I was in middle school, and I had a rough idea of what a casino was like from the movies.
When Wang Xiaolong took me into the casino in the park, I discovered that there was a certain gap between the real casino and the casino in the movie.
Of course, it may also be because the casino in the park is not a regular casino.
The casino in the park is divided into two areas, one is the internal area.
This area is not open to the public, only to people in the park.
The other is the external area, which is open to the outside world. Many people from other places come here to gamble.
It is said that the external area receives some local tycoons from Myanmar, as well as bosses from China.
The air at the casino was thick with smoke, mixed with the pungent smell of alcohol.
The dazzling lights reflected on various faces, illuminating their nervous, fanatical, and desperate expressions.
On the gambling table, there are mountains of chips, and every face has a different expression: some are laughing, some are crying, some are ferocious, and some are indifferent.
I saw the madness of the men addicted to gambling, and I saw the scantily clad women enthusiastically cheering the men on.
I saw all kinds of people, and their eyes were full of all kinds of desires: some wanted to make money, some wanted to find excitement, and some just wanted to kill time.
In the casino, in addition to the sounds of gambling, there are all kinds of sounds: laughter, crying, cursing, cheers, sighs...
These sounds intertwine to create a chaotic atmosphere that makes people feel as if they have entered another world.
In this world, people seem to have forgotten everything about the outside world and only focus on the gambling table in front of them, the chips in their hands, and their own desires.
There was no expression on their faces, only the madness and persistence in their eyes.
Wang Xiaolong hugged me and walked towards a gambling table. As he walked, he introduced to me: "This is baccarat. Many people like to play it. Two cards are compared. Have you played it before?"
When I was in China, I played on gambling websites, so I was no stranger to it.
It can be said that I know all the gambling methods very well.
I nodded and said, "I played online."
"Nothing on the Internet can compare with reality!" Wang Xiaolong pointed at the man sitting on the table not far away and said, "Did you see it? Whoever has more money here can win the game."
After saying that, he walked over and started chatting with a person standing aside: "What's the way now?"
The man obviously knew Wang Xiaolong and said with a smile: "Brother Long, it's Fengzhuang Dance now!"
In baccarat, the result of each hand is recorded.
These records are all represented by dots of different colors, and there is a display next to the dealer.
There will be three colors on it: red, blue and green. Red means the banker wins, blue means the player wins, and green means a tie.
Judging the trend through the previous opening results is called "road".
The so-called "Bead Pan Road" means that every time a banker appears on the main road, the next player must be free, three or more times in a row.
"How much did you win?" Wang Xiaolong asked the man.
"What's the point of winning? I just came here to enjoy my eyesore." The man said with a smile.
Wang Xiaolong took out a few chips from his body and bet on them when the cards were about to be drawn.
He bought the banker, and he actually won the bet!
Wang Xiaolong won two games in a row, so he simply sat down at the gambling table and completely forgot about me.
If it were before, I'm afraid I would be like him, but now I have completely lost interest in gambling.
And here, what if you win money?
Money is completely worthless compared to freedom.
After standing aside and watching for a moment, I exhaled and left directly instead of staying here.
After coming out of the casino, some dog pushers from other groups just got off work and started running on the playground. As they ran, they shouted slogans: "Don't eat, don't sleep, cheer up and strive for performance!"
Back in the dormitory, lying on the bed, I took out my phone.
Although the mobile phone cannot surf the Internet or make calls, it can read books.
I have downloaded a lot of books on it, most of which are psychology books, and some are in the computer field.
Holding the phone in my hand tightly, I felt that the cold metal shell of the phone seemed to convey a kind of power, a power that inspired me to fight.
I think of those days before, the days when I was oppressed and ravaged, the days when I was helpless and hopeless.
I hate it all, I hate this life, I hate myself in this place!
When I read psychology books, I wanted to learn how to control people, how to manipulate them, and how to make others act according to my wishes.
Because this is the key to survival here.
I have to make myself stronger, smarter, and cunning...
By reading those books about computers, I wanted to learn how to crack the system, how to hide my whereabouts, and how to navigate the campus network with ease.
This is also the key to my survival here.
I must allow myself to have enough protection in this place!
Today, I have not collapsed or given up because I know that only by living can I find the hope of survival and the opportunity to leave this place!
When Yang Ziming helped me arrange the team's office area, he asked me to go over and take a look.
This place is located on the west side of Wang Xiaolong's floor. The space is not large, only more than [-] square meters, and there is a separate office inside.
The office area outside is divided into several independent spaces by rough desks.
Although the space is limited, it has obviously been carefully designed to make the most of every inch.
Seats, computers, phones, and large and small cardboard boxes are placed randomly, mixed with wires and sockets, giving people a chaotic but orderly feeling.
The most eye-catching thing is the wall, which is covered with various colorful sticky notes.
There are also various slogans written on those notes, as well as some inspirational words, such as "Never give up, persevere to the end", "Every day is a new beginning" and so on.
There is an old air conditioner in the corner. The air conditioner is covered with various debris and it looks like it has not been cleaned for a long time.
Next to the wall is a row of cabinets of different heights, filled with various documents, and the air is filled with a mixture of musty and cigarette smoke.
"This place has been empty for too long. I'll find someone to tidy it up before we can use it. I've already informed the logistics department about the computers, and I'll get new ones for you in the next few days." Yang Ziming said to me with a smile.
"Excuse me, Brother Yang." I took out a cigarette, handed one over, and asked, "By the way, Brother Yang. How do I arrange the staffing here?"
