God said he likes you

After more than an hour, the magician had already lost 300 million. Gu Yan felt that if there were more people like him, the goal of [-] billion on the list would not be difficult to achieve.

Finally, the magician got up, and Gu Yan thought he wanted to change the game or stop playing at all, but suddenly a woman wearing a cheongsam appeared in front of the two of them.

The woman also wears a mask, but only half of it, the other half of her beautiful face is exposed, smiling lightly.

"Sir, please come with me."

Gu Yan froze for a moment, and suddenly realized something.

In the casino, besides the winners, there are also losers. Those people on the leaderboard are certainly powerful, but those who lose to them still have confidence and capital at the moment they sit at the gaming table. The magician lost so much, in fact, to tell Some people, he can also afford to lose.

So are they going to the infield now?

Sure enough, as Gu Yan had guessed, the woman in the cheongsam led them out of the hall and into an elevator.

The structure of the elevator is very old-fashioned, as if it was dismantled from a century-old hotel. It is similar to the elevator leading to the basement of Jia'an Building, and the lights are also dim.

There was no floor displayed in the elevator, so Gu Yan guessed that it should have descended by more than five floors.

When the door opened, the first thing that wafted in was a strange scent, which was somewhat familiar. Gu Yan couldn't remember it at first, until he saw the candlestick at the entrance of the elevator.

Lighting candles on a boat is obviously an untimely act, but these rows of candles are designed very cleverly, using the principle of mechanics, no matter how the boat shakes, it will not fall down, even the shaking of the candlelight is very slight.

What shocked Gu Yan was not the structure, but the candle itself.

This is ambergris.

Ambergris has been a very precious item since ancient times. It is a secretion in the intestines of sperm whales, which will be excreted from the body along with excrement, but it is not feces and will not be recycled by marine life, so it is deposited on the seabed , only a small part will be carried to land by the waves.

Because ambergris has a special fragrance, it is mostly used in the perfume manufacturing industry at present, and it is expensive, almost equivalent to gold.

Ambergris itself is flammable, and the purity of these candles is not necessarily 100%, but even if it is only [-]%, it is not a small amount if it is burned over time.

Undoubtedly, this floor is also a casino, but it does not have the luxurious atmosphere upstairs. There is no lobby, but it is divided into several rooms, and the walls that divide the airborne are still made of wood, with the characteristics of Chinese garden architecture.

The cheongsam woman led them into a room, which was spacious and brighter than the outside. The style was more like that of the Republic of China, with a green sofa and an old-fashioned telephone.

There were three people waiting in the room, two men and one woman, still wearing masks.

One of the men was the croupier, and the remaining man and woman were the gamblers. The two looked back and forth between Gu Yan and the magician without saying a word.

"What do you want to play?" the magician asked Gu Yan.

Just as Gu Yan wanted to refuse, he said, "It's the high seas now."

When the woman at the gaming table heard this, she sneered coldly and raised her chin slightly: "Xinzi?"

Gu Yan's hometown is in Chaoshan, and her ancestors have lived in Chaoshan for generations. Of course, she can understand that she speaks Cantonese, which means the same as a rookie.

"Is mahjong okay?" Gu Yan smiled, "There are exactly four people, and the aunts seem to like playing mahjong."

When the woman heard the word aunt, her eyes flickered for a moment, her fingers were clenched, and she sneered and said in not-so-standard Mandarin: "Then play with you."

Gu Yan didn't just talk about playing mahjong, but there was a set of mahjong in the room, and these people should know it.

And only mahjong is the only thing that Gu Yan is good at. There is no special reason, it is because the son inherits his mother's career. Ms. Qin especially likes to ask her supermodel sisters to play mahjong. Every time Gu Yan sees them, he just says "" He always finds it amazing when foreign beauties like "Hello" and "Have you eaten?" fluently shout "I'm stupid".

No one objected, all four of them went to the table, the dealer shuffled the cards, and Gu Yan sat opposite the magician.

"How much do you want to play?" the man asked.

The woman holds out her nail-painted finger and makes a 3.

The magician nodded, but Gu Yan didn't know what her unit was. He saw the dealer take out a box after shuffling the cards, and opened the lid to reveal a piece of golden light inside.

All are gold coins, and they are the goddess of luck coins that Gu Yan is most familiar with, even the patterns are exactly the same.

Is this thing still in mass production?

However, he quickly recalled that Shen Shinian seemed to have said that there are only three Goddess of Luck coins left in the world, and the ones here may just have imitated the shape.

"One gold coin represents 100 million chips," the magician explained, "the initial ten are, of course, you can also increase the amount freely."

So the woman's 3 is 300 million?

Just now the magician lost a total of 300 million in the hall, so it's just a base here?

At this point, Gu Yan said that it was too late to quit, he still didn't know what the magician brought him here for, it couldn't possibly be to win all his money and make him a pauper, right?

Chu Xinran was lying in the ventilation duct, holding a locator in his hand. The red dots on it represented himself, and the green dots represented his teammates.

The green dots are not densely distributed, and the closest one is estimated to be 100 meters away, which is still a straight-line distance. However, the internal structure of the cruise ship is intricate, and it cannot be calculated like this at all.

Through infrared detection, he found a location that did not exist in the side profile of the cruise ship, and he had already sent a signal to his teammates. Mrs. Padma contacted him personally, telling him to stay calm and wait for the support of his teammates.

That's why he waited so long in the ventilation duct.

Sufficient endurance is one of the basic qualities of a hunter. His endurance is no less than that of any sniper. No matter what the environment is, even if he is forced to adjust his body functions, he can maintain the same action before the order is issued. Nothing has changed.

But now, there seems to be a little accident.

After confirming that there were no teammates nearby, Chu Xinran put away the locator, put his ear on the pipe, and listened carefully, as expected, he heard the sound again.

In such a long pipeline, he is not the only one!

If he continued to move forward, or the other party continued to move forward, the two would meet sooner or later. In such a small space, the physical skills he was proud of could not be deployed.

Although he still doesn't know what the opponent's purpose is, the probability of encountering the enemy has reached 80.00%, and the remaining 20.00% is his consolation prize for himself.

Should we continue to move forward, or wait in place, or simply go out from here first?

After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Xinran chose the third option. After all, Mrs. Padma asked him to be careful, but just as he was backing away, a voice suddenly came from behind.

"It's hidden so deep."

Chu Xinran: "..."

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Chu Xinran had no choice but to take out a cutting knife and cut an exit on the bottom of the ventilation duct that would allow him to escape.

There was not the slightest sound when the cutting knife rubbed against the steel. This was his ability to form a vacuum zone where he wanted it. The range was not very large, but it was most suitable for eliminating noise.

After coming down from the ventilation pipe, he entered another pipe. I don’t know what it was used for. There was a layer of water on the bottom, which probably submerged up to his ankles. The water was cloudy, with a bit of pungent saltiness. The fishy smell should be sea water.

Is this the drainage pipe?

This place is as dark as the ventilation ducts. With Chu Xinran's night vision ability, he didn't need lights, but now he was inexplicably worried that there might be something in the water, so he turned on the flashlight and continued walking.

According to the locator's instructions, he should be able to find the exit soon, and he must move a little faster now. The two people at the two ends of the pipeline just now, no matter who arrives at his position first, may drive out from him. hole down.

But when he thought he had come to the end, the road in front of him was actually blocked. It seems that the positioning is really not very useful. Chu Xinran had no choice but to take out the cutting knife again. He was betting on this thing lying in the middle of the pipe It's not a thick wall, as long as the thickness is less than [-] centimeters, he still has the possibility to get out.

The vacuum tape was also used to isolate the sound transmission. He cut carefully, and when he saw the light coming in, he was delighted and accelerated his movements.

As more and more things were exposed on the other side, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

What is this place?

The other end doesn't seem to appear in this cruise ship scene, it looks like a... laboratory?

Chu Xinran guessed that this might be the room he had detected before, and he came here unknowingly. Although he had an order, the situation was critical at the moment, and the people behind might catch up at any time, so he had to make an emergency reaction.

Maybe you can send some information back first.

He cut a small opening in the wall that only allowed him to pass through, and entered the room. The dark green light shone on him, and the surrounding was very quiet. This was indeed a laboratory, with various shapes on the rectangular table In addition to various containers and test tubes, there are many books and notebooks scattered on the ground.

The people here must be very untidy, and the whole room can be described as a mess.

Chu Xinran recorded all this with a camera. Originally, he wanted to take pictures of what was in the notebook, but he was soon attracted by the giant glass jar in the center of the laboratory.

All the green light in the room is emitted from there, and there are more than a dozen tubes inserted in it, which are still operating, like a circulatory system, transmitting certain substances to the person in the glass jar.

Yes, that's a person.

The girl was completely naked, her hair was floating in the water like seaweed, her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep.

Her upper body was covered with large and small wounds, and Chu Xinran couldn't help but look closer. Small bubbles kept coming out of those wounds, as if carbonated drinks had been spilled on the ground.

Also like some kind of decomposition experiment.

Chu Xinran's eyes widened, and he suddenly had a terrible guess!

At the same time, there was a sound from the entrance he cut just now, and Chu Xinran realized that he hadn't looked for the exit immediately, but at this time, he wanted to record everything in front of him rather than run away. The camera is aimed at the glass jar, and the camera is specially zoomed in on the wound.

"pat-"

This is the sound of high heels hitting the ground.

"I found a place so quickly, you are not all trash." The woman said coldly.

Chu Xinran was sure that she was the first person he found in the ventilation duct, because the person who appeared behind her voice was obviously a man.

Chu Xinran drew out his weapon and was about to enter the battle, but he froze when he saw the man's face.

He frowned: "It's actually you."

"You seem surprised?" The woman approached him step by step, "What do you want to use to get rid of me? Trash-like ability, or your body fighting technique?"

This man knew him well.

"Why?" Chu Xinran asked her.

"What a strange question," said the woman. "Are you asking me why I am a traitor?"

Holding the knife, Chu Xinran stopped thinking about those boring questions, he only needed to be aware of one point, the only point.

This man was already his enemy.

The woman smiled: "Come on, let me see what the young master of the Leroy family is capable of."

"You made a mistake," Chu Xinran said coldly, "My surname is Chu, not Leroy."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care what is written on your tombstone."

At the end of the third round, Gu Yan collected twelve coins.

He had a good card luck today, and the three players took all. Others could only find a way to avoid losses from him, but the magician was completely different.

Gu Yan was a little suspicious of whether he had lost on purpose before. This guy was not good at gambling and he was generous with his shots. It was nothing.

Although he was losing money, he was still steady, and he added more when he ran out of chips. The woman was different. Although she could only see half of her face, her face was still ugly to the naked eye.

The other man also remained calm and said little.

"I want a different game," said the woman. "How about bridge?"

Bridge is what she is best at. She is actually a professional gambler. I heard that there are many rich people who love gambling on this cruise ship.She was brought here after winning 200 million in the lobby. At first she was intimidated by the millions of chips here, but she knew that she had no way out. She borrowed the money for the ticket this time. , in addition to several million in debt.

She has already made up her mind that if she loses, she will jump off the cruise ship. Anyway, she will die after getting off the ship. With this kind of awareness, she has already won all the chips of the first two people before the two came. , when the two were taken away, they cried and cursed at her, but she didn't care.

The casino is like this, she has no sympathy, and no one else will sympathize with her.

At first, she thought that with her gambling skills, even if she was not familiar with mahjong, she could easily win money from this young man, but the other party's luck far exceeded her imagination. All the money you just won is lost.

She couldn't believe that this kid would always have such good luck!

The croupier removed the mahjong, took out a deck of playing cards, and dealt the cards according to the procedure.

Gu Yan is not particularly familiar with the rules of bridge, but he knows that playing bridge is to build bridges with the players on the opposite side. He looked up and looked across from him, and the magician was also looking at him.

"..."

Perhaps sensing his distrustful eyes, the magician took out his magical black card and handed it to the croupier. The croupier skillfully took out the card reader and waited for him to report the number.

"5000 million." The magician said calmly.

He handed all the fifty gold coins to Gu Yan, Gu Yan was dumbfounded, and the woman's eyes were even more staring.

At the beginning of the game, everyone has 13 cards in their hands. After the first person shows a suit, the people behind must play the same suit, and then compare the numbers according to the numbers. Whoever is bigger wins.

Before that, there will be a round of calling, promising the number of suits reserved by one's side, abstaining or agreeing to the promise made above, and doubling.

Bridge is not a game of pure luck, but a test of skill and courage. Card memorization and strategy are both important. The woman is very confident in this. After all, it is what she is best at.

When the woman took the lead in calling, she promised to get tricks with nine cards of hearts, while Gu Zhe, her next player, made a more conservative decision, only promising to get tricks with nine cards, without specifying the suit.

The other two gave up bidding.

The game went on as she had imagined, and she got tricks for all nine cards of hearts, but Gu Xing didn't fulfill his promise, and she won this game.

After winning dozens of gold coins one after another, she is more courageous than before, directly doubling the promise made by Gu Xing. If Gu Xing fails to fulfill the promise, she will get a higher reward.

In this round, Gu Xing made a promise of eleven spades. It can be seen that he is also very confident, but the woman knows very well that the biggest ace of spades is in her hand, and she has a greater chance of winning.

"you lose."

It was already the last round, and Gu Yan's spade pier was still short of the last one, and the fate-determining Ace of Spades was still in her hand, and she had already won.

The biggest card in Gu Yan's hand is the king of spades, and he also knew that he might lose again this time, and he might have to give up all the remaining gold coins.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that all the gold coins in his hand had undergone strange changes. He saw the rudder turning again, and this time it was actually in reality.

And it rotates clockwise.

Lady luck was on his side again.

The woman turned over her last hole card and couldn't help smiling.

But soon, she found that her opponent did not have the eyes she expected. She looked down, and the Ace of Spades that could bring her victory and money turned into 2 of Spades at some point!

This is impossible!

"Are you looking for this?" the magician asked suddenly, and he showed the last card in his hand, which happened to be the Ace of Spades!

The woman widened her eyes, pointed at him and shouted angrily, "You're outrageous!"

Gu Yan also wanted to ask him, it turns out that you can also give money, but I thought you could only do charity.

Isn't the magician's best game is poker?

But Gu Yan still didn't understand why he did this. He always acted like he didn't care about money. Could it be that he wanted to get a big one in the end?

The woman frantically wanted to grab the cards in his hand, but her wrist was suddenly restrained.

It was her teammate, the man who had been silent at the poker table.

The woman yelled at the croupier: "Did you see that? This card belongs to me, and he paid a thousand! Take my card away!"

"Give me back the cards! Give me back!"

The croupier looked at the man silently and shook his head.

"Miss Chen," the man said, "You have lost all your chips, would you like to continue raising?"

"I didn't lose!" the woman yelled, "They lost!"

The man let out a sigh, the door of the room was pushed open at this moment, several people came in and dragged her down forcibly.

"I'm very sorry to have surprised you two." The man bent over and apologized.

It was only then that Gu Yan realized that he was not an ordinary player, but a member of this casino!

He took out two slips of paper from his pocket and handed them to Gu Yan and the magician: "This is the admission ticket for tomorrow, I hope you two can come again."

Gu Yan looked at the magician suspiciously.

The magician smiled: "Do you think this is just a simple gamble?"

The author has something to say: I only know how to fight landlords, and I have made up for the bridge knowledge, it is too difficult, and I vomit blood
