【The Most King】Passing shoulders with hundreds of twists and turns

The reaction of the pain made Dilar let go of his hand, and Wang Majun, who landed lightly on the ground, did not walk away immediately, but deliberately leaned in front of him who was squatting on the ground.

"Is this a gamble? Isn't the answer obvious enough?"

The face approaching infinitely could no longer be called a face, it was a demon wearing a human face mask, a sticky quagmire barely covered by carrion, under the shadow of dark purple around the eyes, only a malicious smile swayed swooped on.

"...Could it be, luck, qi...?"

grin.

"That's right. From the moment I got those two cards in my hand, my victory has already been determined, and there is no place for you to play."

Laughing and standing up again, Wang Majun walked back bouncing.

"Let's think about it, this casino, toy factory, and maybe even a real estate business?"

"..."

"As for Dilar-chan himself, how should we deal with it? I have never dealt with such a thing like a person's life. How about—"

"Wang Majun, back!!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Majun immediately stopped teasing and turned around.Dilar, who didn't know when he stood up again, was holding a pistol in his hand. Could it be that he had been hiding it in his briefcase all the time? !

"... Dilar sauce really won't make people bored, it seems that he values ​​his life quite a lot."

Squinting his eyes and facing the pistol in front of him, Wang Majun didn't even show the slightest wavering.

"... Value your own life? No, you are wrong..."

The shaking muzzle seemed to burst out bullets at any time, not to mention that the person who was holding the pistol tightly was very different from a moment ago.

"I didn't make a mistake in my calculations. The victory of this game should belong to me...it must belong to me...! Such a result must have been done by you, I don't admit it...!!!"

The yelling of anger is beyond the scope of indignation, and the broken logic reflects the collapse of rationality.Wang Majun, who witnessed everything in front of him, neither showed sympathy nor made further trouble.

"...Ah-ah, I thought it was a useful chess piece, but it turned out to be a failure."

disappointment.

"What did you say!?"

"I said Dilar sauce, don't you think it's weird? Although this room has the effect of isolating noise, it's a bit too~too quiet, right?"

"Ah?"

Now that Dilar looked around abruptly, but now that the door was closed, all he could see was the wall.

"Hey, since the casino is in my hands, no matter what I do with it, it's okay, right?"

Wang Majun, who took the transfer contract in his hand, grinned, grabbed the yellow buttons on his clothes, and shouted loudly.

"Go!"

"What, what did you do!?"

At first, it was just a slight vibration like a magnitude [-] earthquake, and then the reinforced concrete vibration that could still be felt even in this soundproof room gradually transmitted.

"I'm sorry——. My subordinate helped you drive away all the guests, and planted some bombs in various places by the way~"

"You bastard!!"

The sound of the walls and ceiling cracking made people feel physical discomfort, and at the same time, the intuitive fear surging up gradually spread throughout the body.

"Wang Ma-kun...! Let's run away...!"

"... Ah, I know."

As Wang Majun retreated step by step, the gun in Dilar's hand was gradually aimed at him.

"I won't let you escape...!"

"Forget it, since you can't kill me, the noble young master who has never killed anyone should save it. After I get out from here, I will report the secrets in your casino to the police. The fines and criminal responsibilities are enough for you to stay honestly for many years, right? Well, if you behave well, you may be able to be released on parole in about three years."

During the violent shock, Mr. Wang Majun stopped, raised the corner of his mouth and finally waved his hand towards the muzzle of the gun.

"After three years, come and kill me if you can, coward."

Boom.

Fragments of the cracked ceiling fell impartially between the two of them, completely blocking the escape route to the door.

***

Barely getting out of the cracked wall that has not yet collapsed, the scene before my eyes is more miserable than I imagined.

It was hard to see the end of the long corridor that could have been a corridor at a glance. The stones that fell on the left and right sides of the floor, the reinforced concrete protruding from the wall, not to mention the running water that came from nowhere slowly covered the feet. If you don't escape early, I'm afraid your life will be in danger.

"Speaking of the most original sauce, why did you drag her here?"

"Eh?"

I, who was asked, was holding hands to prevent her from slipping and falling when she finally climbed out of the house. That action was more like subconsciously skipping the steps of thinking.

"...Before, didn't Wang Majun say that he wanted to draw her into your organization? If that's the case, it would be better to take her with you."

"so."

It seems that the question was really just a casual question. Wang Majun didn't praise or belittle me much for my answer. Instead, the little hand in my right hand was thrown away in an instant.

"...At this point, don't want to sell favors."

"Hug, sorry..."

The turned face ignored my apology and ran straight forward, and Wang Majun and I also took the time to follow behind her.

Now is probably a good time to dispel doubts.

"What Wang Majun said just now is about the secrets of this casino. It shouldn't just be about card cheating, right?"

No matter how you think about it, it is not a reasonable judgment to kill someone just because of cheating.

There was a smile in the sideways glance.

"Ah, it is indeed the most original sauce, even without my explanation, can you guess the general idea?"

"After all, Wang Majun said at the beginning that he wanted to come here for a transaction, but in the end, he gambled with the boss here. No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right. Then maybe, Wang Majun's real goal is not the transaction itself. Rather, it is a certain result that can be brought about from the action. And this result has been realized in the bet just now, that is to say—"

Wang Majun's real purpose should be the ownership of this casino.

"Aha——Dilal-chan, he looks so gentle, but he is actually a once-in-a-century villain! Have you ever wondered why there is such a completely soundproof private room?"

Why do you need complete soundproofing?

"Because...he needs to do something that people outside can't know?"

"correct!"

Stepping on the slightly sloping ground and jumping over the stones blocking the way, Wang Majun signaled me to be careful of the cement blocks that were about to fall on one side.

"Before, I told Zuo Yuanchan that there was an auction in the casino secretly, but the content of that auction was not ordinary art."

As he spoke, Wang Majun pointed to Athena who was running ahead of us, as if hinting at my answer.

men?girls? ……wrong.

"Could it be, human trafficking!?"

"Bingo! A girl of her age should be able to fetch a pretty high price, right? Anyway, it's lucky to be able to avoid that terrible future~"

"..."

Lucky...?This sentence from Wang Majun's mouth should be full of irony. After all, fate and coincidence are probably the least trustworthy things for him.But he attributed her, who was nothing more than incidental, to pure luck, more like he deliberately didn't let me go too deep.

"Actually, Wang Majun sneaked into this casino from the very beginning to save her, right?"

"Ok?"

Facing the somewhat doubtful eyes, he felt relieved for some reason, and even the steps to escape became easier.

"It is not easy to destroy the human trafficking network. The people and funds involved are unimaginably huge, not to mention the possibility of ruthless retaliation. However, Wang Majun did it for her alone without asking for anything in return. Destroyed the biggest casino in Las Vegas..."

To describe it in one word,

"Actually, Wang Majun is really a very gentle person."

"..."

When he noticed that the figure running together suddenly disappeared, he subconsciously stopped and looked back. Not far away, he just stood there and did not move.

"...Gentle? Don't ask for anything in return?"

He muttered to himself in disbelief, and even frowned because of the too inappropriate description.

"What's the matter, Wang Majun?"

"I said, when will the show last?"

"……Eh?"

Obviously wanting to walk over to lead him to escape early, but his stiff body refused to take a step forward.

play?acting?

Is that me……?

"Why did I come here, why did I save that girl, you obviously know that, don't you?"

"Hey, I... know?"

Wang Majun, what are you talking about...

The helpless eyes turned around me, and the familiar memory of being left alone gradually awakened.No, no, there must be meaning behind what Wang Majun did, not just playing with me, I should be very clear about it.There is something that Wang Majun knew from the beginning, but I don't know it, no, maybe I should know it, I should be able to perceive it, but I haven't realized it all the time, so I left it like this ...?

Assuming there is such a thing, why have I never found out?Why did I give up my duty as a detective and stop pursuing and thinking?

...Because that is something that is taken for granted?

"You guys, what are you dawdling about?"

As if realizing that Wang Majun and I were not keeping up, Athena, who was running ahead, came back with some doubts.However, at this moment, the ceiling not far from her suddenly cracked, and the stone mixed with cement was about to hit her head.

"Danger, danger...!"

"ah!"

The friction caused by the body collision was far no more penetrating to the bone marrow than the impact and pain of hitting the ground, and the warmth that was successfully protected in front of him raised a small groan.

Could it be that it was still hurt? ?

"No, it's all right, Pallas!"

......

Eh?

The moment I blurted it out, I realized what I said. Is it a personal name...?Why do I call her Pallas?Obviously never asked her real name.

Athena, who was so called, just stared at me with her eyes wide open as usual.

"I said it all, don't get close to me...!"

The palm stretched out from the side swung precisely to the face, the hot touch caused the head to tilt to the side, and the redness was reflected in the unscrupulous water pool flowing on the ground.

...In the pool of water, there is a bright red...?

Trembling, he raised his left hand to his cheek, and the figure in the water also raised his right hand.As soon as he touched the place where he was hit, his palm jumped away due to the tingling pain, and the figure in the water frowned because of this feeling.

"……Eh?"

The most simple mirror image, the most common common sense of physics, in my eyes is undoubtedly the correct truth, and the unshakable ongoing tense.

"how is this possible……"

It is precisely because I understand all of this and have witnessed all of this that I cannot understand it, am so confused, and desperately want to deny this too abnormal status quo.

The hands pawing at the edge of the water were completely soaked, and under the layers of waves, only the face full of astonishment remained unchanged.

Why is this! ?

The roar that rushed out of the throat also changed its tone.

"who are you……?!"

After all, the face reflected in the water is not me at all.

I……

……

……I?

Who am I?

"I'm sorry, Mohara-chan."

"...You can almost give yourself a vacation."

"Have an ice gambling party!"

"...What did you call me just now...?"

"This name, or this identity, must have been forged by you."

"Don't pretend, return the ring you stole!"

"I said, don't bully that liar too much, what do you think?"

"However, I can't interfere with the matter between Mr. Moehara and the president. After all, I don't know what happened to you before."

"Then don't die...!"

"I don't think I have as many companies as Dillard Sauce to repay the debt? However, adding this should be enough."

"...At this point, don't want to, what kind of favors are you selling?"

When did it start?Where did the differences come from?

I am the ultimate one, I have always been from the very beginning, as it should be, right...

"That's not right, Mohara-chan. It's been like this since the first time I saw you, have you forgotten?"

"Eh……?"

Detoured around the water and came to the two of us, Wang Majun only glanced at me and then turned his attention to her who was also very surprised.

"But forgive him, after all, his thoughts are not false from beginning to end - as the instigator of this incident, he is a good brother who will do everything for you."

At the end, Wang Majun tilted his head, lowered his eyebrows and showed a more resigned smile.
