one punch

After chatting with Jiang Ran for a while, the original worry and fear dissipated a lot.

Sun Yi took the time to go offline, and the three of them took a taxi.After nearly an hour's drive, the car took them from the bustling urban area to a small town.

Dou Tianxiao secretly memorized the road signs along the way.

The underground boxing gym he imagined should be a remote and dark corner, surrounded by abandoned factories, inaccessible, suitable for fighting and killing, but gradually found that the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, covered in silver, it is an outing good location.

"Where is this?" Dou Tianxiao saw that there were many characteristic farmhouses and small supermarkets nearby, but there were not many residential buildings, let alone high-rise buildings.

Because of the weather, the top of the mountain was foggy, wrapped in an indescribable gloom.

"You'll know in a while, and I won't sell you out." Sun Yi even made a fool of himself.

Dou Tianxiao said in his heart, that's not necessarily the case.

The taxi drove up slowly along the wide road, the slope became steeper and the road became narrower, but the surrounding scenery was still good, without any sense of desolation.

This highway is still a two-way street, and many high-end cars passed by them in order to overtake. Dou Tianxiao suspected that they should all be driving to the same place.

Dou Tianxiao remembers studying Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" when he was in junior high school, and always imagined whether there would really be such an isolated place in the world. When I came here today, I felt that this was created by rich people for themselves. Xanadu.

This is a manor in the middle of the mountain. It covers an area of ​​​​do not know how many acres, but at a glance, you can't see the side at all.

Stepping into the gate, one feels that this is not a place where people live but a scenic spot. It is also a nationally recognized [-]A-level tourist attraction. The mountains, rivers and forests are dreamlike. Countless trails divide the lawn in front of the manor. into different shapes.

Because of the angle of view, Dou Tianxiao couldn't see everything clearly, but if he could fly into the air to see it, it would definitely be a painting.

It's too luxurious.

"Is this a place where people live?" Dou Tianxiao sighed as he walked.

"Otherwise the dog lives?" Sun Yi said.

Dou Tianxiao clicked his tongue twice, "It's a fairyland, who is the owner of this manor?"

"I don't know about this. I only know that this place is older than me. It is said that it was a casino built by a few gang bosses. Later, those who died died scattered, and those who were imprisoned were imprisoned. This place was sold by other people. The manor." Sun Yi said.

During the conversation, several supercars roared past like a race, and the sound of the engines was deafening.

After stopping at the gate of the manor, rows of people in uniform nodded and bowed to lead them in.

There are multiple entrances to the manor, and each door is guarded by two rows of doormen. Dou Tianxiao followed Sun Yi to the house to the south, but was stopped by a doorman.

Sun Yi showed a hot gold card in his hand, "Fourth Lord's."

"This way please." The man immediately put on a smiling face.

The interior of the manor is an oil painting ceiling, two rows of circular marble columns are carved with detailed patterns, a huge crystal chandelier hangs from the third floor, and the bright and reflective marble tiles illuminate the entire hall resplendently.

There is also an indoor music fountain in the center of the hall. Several sexy girls are taking selfies together. To the south of the hall is a huge arc-shaped stage. There is a band performing at the moment, surrounded by many handsome men and women in costumes. Of course, there are also greasy uncles with pregnant stomachs.

Dou Tianxiao finally understood why the security guard stopped them just now. Being mixed with this group of people, he was like a pheasant mixed with a flock of cranes.

After the music was switched, another group of young women went up to dance. Those dog-like people in the audience immediately whistled.

This whole is a world not suitable for children.

"What are you doing?" Dou Tianxiao asked.

"Birthday parties, rich people like to do this. After getting drunk, they can find a room to sleep in."

Sun Yi poked upstairs, "The second floor is full of guest rooms and restaurants, and the third floor is for entertainment. Do you want to go up and have a look? The manors here are all connected, and you can walk through the corridor to the house next door."

When Dou Tianxiao went upstairs, he found that the signal of the mobile phone here was not very good, sometimes one bar, sometimes two bars, and sometimes it just jumped out.

The temperature of the central air conditioner in the main hall was very high, and it was very hot to stand naked, so he took off his coat and grabbed it in his hand.

The layout of the third floor is different from that of the ground floor, a bit like a hotel lobby, but two doors are tightly locked, so you can't see what's going on inside, but you can faintly hear some noisy voices inside, like arguing.

There are six uniformed security guards outside the gate, all of them have walkie-talkies on their chests, and electric shock batons and sabers on their waists. The equipment is much more advanced than that downstairs. It seems that this is a place where fights are frequent.

This door here requires a card to enter, and no one can be brought in, so Dou Tianxiao was stopped outside the door.

The security guard who stopped him was very cold. He didn't say anything, but waved to him and motioned him to go downstairs.

At this time, a greasy uncle walked in with his arms around a girl. Dou Tianxiao glanced at the door, and seeing countless gambling tables and slot machines inside, his eyes widened in shock.

The door was pulled shut at once.

The security guard signaled him to go downstairs again.

There must be more in corners he can't see.

Sun Yi's girlfriend came out of the bathroom with a completely different look. She had a maroon shawl with big waves and a long silk skirt. I have to say that after removing the killer makeup on her face, she was a beauty.

With her familiar appearance, it seems that she has been here before, so it is hard to say her specific identity.

Sun Yi should be Si Ye's pony boy, who is responsible for recruiting boxers to entertain these rich people.

And this place is a large casino in the cloak of a private manor!

The boxing gym is on the second basement floor of the manor, and the elevator goes downstairs, which is a completely different scene.

A walkway more than two meters wide leads straight to the end. You can see two gates at the end. Perhaps because of the poor air circulation, the walkway is filled with a strong smell of smoke and... the smell of burnt?

This was a very unpleasant smell that Dou Tianxiao had never smelled before.

If I insist on describing it, it is probably like the smell of plastic when flames burn, which is a bit pungent.

Sun Yi's girlfriends covered their noses.

There are also many rooms on both sides of the aisle, and you can hear noisy shouts inside when you pass by.

It was the sound of gambling.

Dou Tianxiao couldn't believe that there was such a huge casino hidden in the corner of this city.

What is the identity of the owner of this manor?

Where did these people come from?

How long has this illegal casino existed?

Don't the government and the police know about such a big place?Or it doesn't matter at all.

A series of questions popped up in my mind, and I felt a chill down my back.

Suddenly, a black figure rushed out from a door on the right and slammed into Dou Tianxiao.

All the muscles in Dou Tianxiao's body were in a state of first-level alert, and he dodged and pushed aside reflexively, but unexpectedly, the other party staggered a few steps and sat motionless on the ground.

"Excuse me, are you okay?" Dou Tianxiao walked over.

The one who fell to the ground was a girl, her long messy hair was scattered to her waist, almost covering most of her long face, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

The other party did not speak, and leaned against the wall slantingly. Dou Tianxiao pushed her shoulder, and the girl fell to the ground as if her bones had been pulled out.

"Hey!" Dou Tianxiao was startled, and immediately squatted on the bed to try to help him up.

At this time, someone came out from the door just now, and without saying a word, he dragged the girl by the armpit and dragged her into the room.

"Huh?" Dou Tianxiao wanted to follow up to see if the girl was okay, but someone grabbed her arm.

"Don't worry too much." Sun Yi's girlfriend reminded.

"What's wrong with her?" Dou Tianxiao frowned, when he approached just now, he didn't smell alcohol from the other person, how could a living person faint after being pushed like this?

At this time, the door was locked by the people inside.

"Can't you see such an obvious thing?" Sun Yi leaned over and said, "She's on drugs."

"Taking drugs!?" Dou Tianxiao's three views were shattered. He had only heard similar news on TV before, "But shouldn't people who take drugs be very excited? How did she reply? thing?"

"I'll be excited later." Sun Yi smiled meaningfully.

Sun Yi said that behind the door at the end of the aisle is the boxing arena, and many people will bet tonight, and if they win, they can make a lot of money.

Dou Tianxiao was a little out of his mind, and the scene of the girl being forcibly dragged into the room was replayed repeatedly in his mind.

The man had a big beer belly, his shirt was unbuttoned two times, and he looked particularly wretched.

Drag in to do what! ?

not……

He turned his head abruptly, rushed over and knocked on the door, Sun Yi quickly turned back and grabbed him, "What are you doing!?"

Naturally, the door was not opened, and Dou Tianxiao heard low, hoarse and rapid calls, which came out through the door panel. At the same time, he saw the wooden door in front of him shake slightly, as if someone was pushing against it inside. ...and kept crashing.

Dou Tianxiao finally realized something and lowered his arms.

"Are you sick!?" Sun Yi scolded in a low voice.

His girlfriend, like Dou Tianxiao, stared at the wooden door in astonishment, her eyes full of inexplicable helplessness.

It's all about money.

People here are all about money.

for money.

Can there be no bottom line?

Dou Tianxiao asked himself.

The gate is right in front of you, but for some reason, this corridor seems to have no end no matter how you walk, the steps under your feet are getting heavier and heavier, and there is even an absurd sense of fear that you are walking towards a prison.

Sun Yi put his arms around his shoulders, and comforted him in a timely manner: "Don't be nervous, it's over after you make a fortune. Wealth and wealth are in danger, how can you be so timid?"

Dou Tianxiao now really wishes that he was a little timid back then, so he wouldn't have come to this point.

This underground boxing gym is as big as four or five basketball courts. In the center of the boxing gym is a huge octagonal cage. With it as the center and a radius of about one meter, a protective fence is pulled out to isolate the audience.

It would be near eight o'clock, and the octagonal cage was already full of people, men and women, young and old.

What surprised Dou Tianxiao was that there were various props in the cage, four or five wooden boxes stacked high, boxing gloves, crowbars, fruit knives, dog chains, nunchakus...

And health care balls for the elderly! ?

All kinds of messy things are placed on it.

A [-]-[-]-inch LCD TV is hung on the wall to the south, and what is shown on the screen is the picture inside the octagonal cage.

On the other side of the LCD TV, there are several long tables, which are watched by a special person. The tables are full of chips. At this time, a group of people are surrounded by the table.

That's where the bets are.

There is a blackboard on that wall, on which are written the names of the contestants corresponding to different time periods tonight. From 08:30 to [-]:[-], there are a total of five boxing matches, and eight people will participate. Among them, a person named Gu Heng will fight several times. field.

Dou Tianxiao ranked fourth.

He found that each player's name was followed by a box, his name was followed by the word 'fourth master', and some others said 'third master' and some were 'boss'.

There is no "fifth master", so looking at it, it seems that I am the best.

"What does that mean in the box?" Dou Tianxiao asked Sun Yi.

"That's the one who gave you the money," Sun Yi leaned into his ear and whispered, "Among this group of people, the fourth master is the most generous, and the third master is the most stingy."

Dou Tianxiao said "Oh", "What about the second master?"

Sun Yi smiled, "I don't know about that."

Maybe go to jail.

Dou Tianxiao followed Sun Yi to the waiting room, and the fourth master was also there, still smoking a hookah, and smiled sanctimoniously, "Little brother is very brave, don't be afraid to play in a while, just beat him to death, beat him If it’s broken and beaten to death, you don’t have to take responsibility.”

Dou Tianxiao felt a chill down his spine, maybe in another waiting room, his opponent's upper family is also saying the same thing to him.

"Sign this guarantee book." Fourth Master said.

Life and death.

It was really hit by Yu Qingji.

"If you win tonight, I'll give you [-]." A faint smile flashed across the eyes of Fourth Master, "I believe you can."

Thirty thousand.

In fact, it is not a big number.

But for some people at a certain time, it's like the witch's poisoned apple, which is extra alluring.

Dou Tianxiao's mind flashed the thin figure of his back that he saw standing at the school gate many years ago, and flashed the appearance of his grandfather selling sweet potatoes at the school gate under the wind and scorching sun.

With this [-] yuan, grandpa can save two years from selling sweet potatoes.

A few 10 minutes for two years, very cost-effective...
