Twilight War

04

An hour later, Huangxuan Jin returned to Vehipel with tears all over his face.

"Stop playing?" Wisipel asked him.

"If this continues, I will lose all my chips."

"No," said Vichypel.

"Huh?" Huang Xuanjin looked at Vehipel with some confusion.

"It's not easy to lose all your chips."

"How could it be? When I was in Jinling, I often saw people who lost their fortunes at the gambling table." Huang Xuanjin said.

"That's them, not you," Wihipel said.

"Is there a difference?" Huang Xuanjin asked.

"I used to be very incomprehensible to those people who gambled and gambled at the gaming table and lost everything." The boy looked at the crazy people in the hall, and he didn't even know whether they wanted to leave here or they had completely Sinking into the game of gambling.

"Do you understand now?" Wihipel asked.

"At least I won't be as arrogant as before." Huang Xuanjin closed his eyes halfway, and wanted to take out a cigarette, but thought of Wisipel here, so he had to give up, and twisted his lower lip with his index finger and middle finger.

Before really touching despair, people will have a kind of arrogance to those who have fallen and fallen, thinking that they will never be the same as them.

"In fact, sometimes, falling is only a momentary thing. But once falling, it is difficult to turn back, isn't it?" The young man looked up at Vehipel, his eyes had a sense of carelessness.

Those gamblers in Jinling are looking for money and profit, and now the refugees are looking for a way to survive.

"En." Vehipel nodded.

"So brother, don't you plan to bring me two?" Huangxuan Jin looked at Vichypel.

Wischpel: "I don't want to play yet."

"Although I haven't seen you bet before, I think you can do it, brother." Huang Xuanjin raised his eyebrows at Wisipelle, "Take me two, or I'll lose it all."

"If you want chips, I'll give you the chips. If you can lose them all, it's your skill." Wisipel said with a chuckle.

"Forget it, these chips have patterns on them. After losing to others, the patterns will change. The croupier will check." Huang Xuanjin threw the chips in his hand to play, "I don't want these chips either. , it’s just that it doesn’t feel good to lose all the time.”

Wischpel looked at the croupier walking between the gaming tables. The croupier wore a silver mask painted with golden branches, with only the lower half of his face exposed.

"Do you think that croupier looks familiar?" Vehipel said suddenly.

"I can't tell if I'm wearing a mask." Huang Xuanjin tilted his head and looked at the croupier.

"Xia Zuo, the one who followed Mrs. Violet on the day of the auction." Wihipel said.

Huang Xuanjin thought about it carefully, and there was indeed someone beside Mrs. Violet at the auction that day, but he was so focused on seducing and seducing Mrs. Violet that he didn't pay much attention to the follower who had no sense of existence.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the middle of the hall.

"Dare to pay a thousand dollars, don't you?" The man with half of the tattoo grabbed a round man and made a gesture to hit him.

Huangxuan Jin looked over, "It's Tiberius, that oily guy, why is he here?"

The man grabbed Tiberius by the neckline, "You want to kill me, right? I'll kill you now."

Tiberius pressed the man's hand: "Each according to his ability. Each according to his ability..."

"Then I'll let you see if my fist is good enough!"

Just as the man was about to swing his fist down, someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

Wihipel blocked the man's fist, "What do you call it?"

"Just call me a broken-winged eagle." The man raised his head and said, Vehipel carefully looked at the tattoo on the man's body, it did look like an eagle, but only half of the tattoo, like a broken wing.

"My lord, my lord, you can make the decision for me." Tiberius shouted immediately after seeing Wisipel.

"It's fine if I lose to you because he's outnumbered." Wihipel said.

"You can fucking guarantee that you will lose." Broken Wing Eagle said.

"It may not be possible in every game, but it should be possible." Wihipel picked up a stack of cards from the table and handed it to Broken Wing Eagle.

The man knocked down the cards in Vichypel's hand, "How could someone lose on purpose? Do you think I'm stupid? Don't you want to leave here?"

"Then treat it as an ordinary gamble, why, don't you dare to come?" Wisipel asked.

Broken Wing Eagle sat opposite to Wisipel, "Come on."

Wischpel handed the mithril chip to the croupier wearing a silver mask behind him, "Change the chip."

The black market Ninth Street's card game is simple, but it's just a comparison of big and small, making a good straight or something else.

In fact, Huang Xuanjin didn't like to play this kind of thing, he felt that his luck was always bad.

It's just that when he was in Paradise Lost, he would be beside those beautiful girls and watch them cry or fight over the game, and occasionally throw a few candy-colored chips with those girls.

At that time, the night of Paradise Lost always played extravagant music.

He stayed by Black Widow when he had nowhere else to go.He would drip the perfume on the black widow's wrist and wrap it in black lace.

There were many wounds on the woman's wrist. He never asked her about it, and she never mentioned it.

After wrapping up the lace, he snuggled up next to the black widow.

Sometimes it will rain outside the Black Market Ninth Street, and the Black Widow will turn off the lights and listen to the sound of the rain quietly.

They said he was like something the black widow kept around.He didn't get annoyed when he heard it, he just felt that listening to the rain alone was too lonely, and he wanted to be with the black widow.Black Widow said he just wanted to keep warm.

Wisper has already bet more than ten rounds with the Broken Wing Eagle. The man doesn't lose every time, but in the end, he loses more than he wins.Huang Xuanjin didn't even know whether he really lost on purpose or whether he was really bad at poker.

After losing half of the chips, Vichypel stood up, "That's all."

"A few more rounds!" Broken Wing Eagle smiled happily.

"Why don't you just lose everything?" Shark tail folded his arms and looked at Vehipel.

"There's no way to lose all your chips if you keep betting like this," Wischpel said.

"Why, you found out too?" Sharktail said.

Vehipel looked at the tail of the shark.

"The chip counting method here is indeed different from other places." Sharktail narrowed his eyes and said, "That chip counting method was told to me by that guy Rustybone. He felt that too many people were at the gambling table on the black market Ninth Street. He went bankrupt, and even lost his life in gambling. So he asked the people in the casino to change the method of counting chips, so that those gamblers can keep some money no matter how much they gamble."

"If you don't lose everything, you still have hope." Shawei looked towards the center of the hall.

"I wonder if Aquinas still had this kind of compassion for all beings like the Son of God." Wihipel said.

"Yeah." Shawei said, "But then I changed the casino back, I don't think it's necessary. Now that you're in the game, you have to be prepared to lose everything."

"Is there no need to leave a glimmer of hope for those people?" Wihipel asked.

"Yeah, they're just a bunch of rogue lackeys anyway, so what if they die?" Shawei said indifferently.

"Quiet!" The croupier in the hall suddenly clapped his hands twice, his hands in white gloves were so emaciated that the man's joints could be seen clearly through the gloves.

"It's a pity that no one has the qualifications to leave here. Next, I will announce the list of people who were executed." The man's voice was low and cold, like a snake in the night, and he calmly and slowly read a A person's name, every time a person's name is pronounced, one person is dragged out by the bone eaters guarding the hall.

The doors on both sides of the hall were pulled up, and with the light of the fire in the hands of the bone eater, they could clearly see the ancient beasts bound by chains in the shadows.

Those whose names were read were thrown into prisons, and the gates fell again.

Everyone in the hall screamed in panic.

"Quiet." The croupier in the silver mask whispered.

The hall was so quiet that it seemed as if the sound of biting behind the door could be heard.

"Then, good luck to you." The man clapped his hands, "Continue with your bet."

"Boss, what's going on!" As soon as the man turned around, the belly-cut snake rushed towards Huangxuan Jin, with snot and tears.

"Quiet, quiet." Huang Xuanjin said pretending to be calm, the hand holding the chips behind him trembled silently.

"Do you understand what's going on?" Shark Tail asked Vehipel beside him.

"They were executed because they were short stacked," Wihipel said.

"Then it doesn't look like you have to lose everything before you can leave." Shark Tail shrugged.

"No, it's still the same. It's just that you can't eat the seventh loaf," said Vichypel.

Shark Tail was stunned, remembering that when Vichypel first arrived underground, he thought Vichypel was very strange, so he pestered him all day long, and sometimes told him some jokes, such as the one who ate eight Those who were full said they would not have eaten the first seven loaves if they had known earlier.

"If you want to be full, can't you eat the seventh cake?" Shawei smiled.

"Hey! Does anyone want to leave!" Shawei suddenly shouted, some people looked back at him, and more people still gambled on the gambling table.But the chips and cards on the table were suddenly swept to the ground by the shark's tail.

Almost insanely, he ruined everyone's gambling game, and then stepped directly on the gaming table, shouting like a punk about to declare war on the highest place: "Hey! Does anyone want to leave!"

"If you want to leave! Take a bet with everyone!" he screamed.

Someone pulled off his collar, "You are fucking crazy!"

"Don't you understand? Only those who have won all the chips can leave." He looked down at the man who was pulling his collar and said, like a doctor looking at a stubborn patient, with pity and pity.

"So... let us all bet big!" Shark Tail shouted, "Only those who win are eligible to leave."

The man was obviously a middle-aged uncle, but at that moment, Wisipel felt as if he had seen the boy from the dungeon again.

The boy who clamored in the crowd to have a good fight.The boy who was going to take everyone to the ground.

That... the former king of beasts.

"Why should we trust you?" someone in the crowd shouted.

"Because I am Shark Tail." The man stood on the table with his hands in his pockets and said shamelessly, "Because I am the owner of the black market Ninth Street."

The crowd was noisy.

Everyone knows that the owner of the black market Ninth Street is the man named Shawei, but that man has been hiding in the dark.

Wihipel looked at the masked croupier. The croupier looked at all this and had no intention of stopping the shark's tail.

"How about playing seven cards? Bet all your chips before you start!" The man jumped off the table.

"How about it? Dealer." He looked at the masked dealer.

"Your actions didn't violate the rules, so it's okay." The croupier said to Shawei.

"Do you want to go together?" Sharktail walked to Wisipel with a stack of cards.

"Losing to everyone, is that how you lose all your chips in one hand?" Wihipel asked.

"Well, do you want to place a bet?" Sharktail said.

"Then I have no choice but to accompany you."

A hidden card and two exposed cards are dealt to each player.

Huangxuanjin looked at a heart "7" and two diamonds "A" in his hand and felt lost in life.The belly-cut snake and the red fire ant grabbed his hand to see his hidden cards. "Boss, boss, how about the cards?"

He knew that this gamble had nothing to do with him at all.He was just an escort.When he was in Jinling before, he heard people say that casinos often invite some thousand ghosts to play games, and the people who are slaughtered are called old turtles.

He was that old turtle who didn't understand anything and had to bet along.Then he was slaughtered until only a pair of pants remained, and in the end he still didn't even know how he was slaughtered.

Huang Xuanjin turned over a clear card in his hand, lazily looking around at the cards in other people's hands.

He didn't know what the point of playing this way was.

Three dark cards, four bright cards, a total of seven cards, and finally see who can make up the five largest cards.

All the chips have been bet, and there seems to be nothing to care about next.Could it be that he deliberately made it too small to make up for it?

Vichypel and Sharktail had a table to themselves.

Wischpel pressed the hidden card directly on the table without even looking at it himself.The two open cards are "4" of hearts and "7" of diamonds.

Sharktail's revealed cards are "10" of diamonds and "4" of diamonds.

"Looks like I'm in slightly better shape than you," Sharktail said.

"That means I have a higher chance of losing?" Wihipel asked.

"If I were you, I wouldn't lose all my chips." Sharktail said, looking at Vichypel.

"why."

"Do you know what story is painted on the back of this card?" Sharktail asked.

Vichypel didn't speak.

"Sodom and Gomorrah." Shark Tail's finger pointed at the intricately painted on the back of the card. "It is said that the people in the city were obsessed with sex, so God descended to destroy the city. Abraham interceded for the people in the city. Said that as long as there are ten righteous people in the city, he will not destroy the city. But only Lot is righteous in the city. So God sent down fire and destroyed the city. Lot took his wife away, and his wife turned back One look and it turns into a pillar of salt."

"In the eyes of Rustbone, this is Sodom and Gomorrah." Sharktail said, "He will destroy this place for God."

"so what?"

"There is only one person who can leave here." Shawei looked at the noisy crowd, "If I were you, I would stay here and face everything that comes next with your boy. Whether it is flames or death good."

"He won't need me to accompany him." Wischpel took the third open card handed to him by the croupier, a "Q" of hearts.

"It's really cold-blooded." Shawei smiled and sighed, "Why, do you want to live alone? Then put his picture on the bedside for the rest of your life. Then kiss silently before falling asleep every time. Looking at his picture, it is with heavy grief in my heart."

"He's a pretty kid." He looked at the square "J" in his hand and then looked up in Huang Xuanjin's direction, "It's just a very unlovable kind of good-looking."

"How is it? Don't you plan to stay here with him?" Shark Tail turned to look at Vehipel.

All the cards had already been dealt. In fact, it was very simple for him and Shawei, as long as they made up a small set of scattered cards.I just hope that there are no people who are so unlucky that their broken cards are smaller than theirs, or those who are desperate to die.

After putting the cards together, the two of them looked at each other, as if they were parting friends or confronting each other.

The croupier had already started to draw the cards, and there were a few straight flushes, Huangxuanjin only made a set of the same color, the red fire ant and the belly-cut snake had only straights, and the gray tail was a little better and made a four of a kind.

The masked croupier walked to the table of Vichypel and Shawei, bowed and asked, "Can you draw the cards?" Vichypel nodded.

"It seems that the luck of both of them is good." The croupier raised his head: "Both are royal straight flushes."

Shark Tail looked at Wisipel and smiled, but Wissipel just looked at the bored boy who was turning cards under the light.

"I declare that the winners of this game are these two gentlemen, and they will split everyone's chips equally." The croupier stood up and said, "Except for them, everyone can leave now."

Everyone in the hall started making noise again, and no one even realized what was going on.

"Losing all the chips is the condition for leaving." The croupier looked at the noisy crowd expressionlessly, "You can leave now."

"For your boy?" Sharktail folded the cards in his hand to play, "In order to let him go, are you willing to sacrifice yourself? It seems that your boy will put your photo on the bedside for the rest of his life. But Whether he will be full of grief I don't know, and I hope he won't do something in that bed with another woman to make you sad."

"What about you? Why do you want to win everyone." Wihipel asked: "You can obviously leave alone."

"When a kingdom falls, its ruler deserves to die," Sharktail whispered, his voice hoarse.At that moment, he was like an emperor who died when the country was broken.

At least he was more of a monarch than Wischpelt.

Wischpel was stunned for a moment, he wanted to ask the man, do you really regard this place as your country?

"Just kidding, I just don't want to lose." Shawei suddenly chuckled, he stood up from the gaming table and said, "Let's go, it's time to take us to meet the guy hiding in the clouds behind. "

05

Thirty years ago, this was the only way to the underground city from the outside.

It's the only way out.

Those people lived in chaos here, and died in chaos.

Huangxuan Jin hugged Little Jasmine and followed the flow of people outside.

He had been hiding the girl in the corner just now, and the croupier didn't find the girl out.

It was all over at last, they were born again, only someone paid for them.

A wound was cut on his finger by the card, and now he still feels pain.

He didn't really understand what was going on.

He saw the girls from the brothel in the crowd, so he walked towards them through the crowd.

"Take her out for me, please," he said to the girls.

The girls didn't seem to understand what was going on, so they nodded.

After handing over Little Jasmine to the girls, Huangxuan Jin stood in the crowd and lowered his head to light a cigarette. The flame fell into his eyes like unextinguished ashes.

He pushed back his half-length black hair and walked against the crowd.

Some people looked back at him, but more people just walked towards the exit.

Suddenly someone grabbed his collar, "You fucking want to be a hero, why didn't you just do it just now. Why do you want to go back now? Do you want to drag us all down?"

"There are still people who haven't come out." He said while holding the man's wrist.

"That's their courting death!"

The boy directly held the man's wrist and threw his whole body down hard, then continued to walk against the flow of people on the way back.

"Boss!" The belly-cut snake wanted to stop him.

He punched the belly-cut snake directly on the shoulder, and then kicked another person who tried to stop him.

The boy recklessly attacked those who stopped him.

A long time ago, the black widow told him that a fish goes against the sea, but a drop of water goes with the flow.Sometimes we are water, sometimes we are fish.

And now he's going to be a fish...

He was going back, to fight the battle he had to fight.

When the wildfire strikes, all the beasts flee, and the lone wolf walks alone.
