Chapter 73

The captain of the "Gambler" holds his hand on the handle of the knife, ready to welcome the oncoming attack at any time to protect Shu Mo. This is not because he has any special feelings for Shu Mo. In addition to his teammates, he also needs Shu Mo. In addition to the rescue, after being in contact with the other party for so long, the captain's first feeling was that the person in front of him was the best possibility for him to realize his wish, and also the only chance for him to find the person he wanted.

To this end, the captain will do whatever it takes. He even felt that Shu Mo was more terrifying than the "saint" who was heavily protected from the world in the trial and the currently popular singer. The saint could purify the filth; while the singer could control the pollutants and command them. , these two points alone caused them to receive unimaginable treatment in the trial court. Shu Mo's situation was even more of a miracle among miracles. The captain had an inexplicable feeling that he wanted to compare with Shu Mo. Saint and Song None of them are qualified. I am afraid that only the rumored "saint" who does not exist is qualified to compare with him.

Therefore, the captain must stay with Shu Mo. Compared with the Trial House, Shu Mo is obviously more reliable. This is not a unilateral disparagement of the Trial House, but a fact.

The monster in front of him let out a low cry, and wisps of golden smoke spread out from the tent, as if there was a terrifying monster with an astonishing size sitting inside. The strange sound of metal hitting each other could arouse the greed in everyone's heart. , and greed will cause distortion. As a being with so many chips, the tent owner is certainly not an ordinary monster. In fact, it can even be regarded as a fifth-level pollutant, but it is only within the scope of O-17-FG. Only in this way can we have such ability.

"Alas."

However, in the captain's gaze, in the dark tent in front, the dim yellow eyes widened. They all stared at the black-haired young man in front of them. After a while, the tent owner closed his eyes again. With his eyes closed, he said helplessly:

"Why do you, such a noble person, come to my tent to embarrass such a bad old man like me?"

Its voice was dull, and when it spoke, it would make a buzzing sound like thunder. Don't look at it, and you will see the monster in the tent continue to say:

"All the greed, thirst for knowledge, lust//desire, appetite, and desire for life and death can be turned into golden poison, and then become me The chip."

A dry hand stretched out from the tent and picked up the chip that Shu Mo asked for. The beautiful chip was like a diamond, exuding colorful colors:

"No matter who is trading with me, You need to pay an equal price." When the tent owner said this, he suddenly laughed: "Of course, it is up to me to judge whether it is 'equivalent'."

Shu Mo looked suspicious, and then he thought, this is not it. A completely black shop.

As if he guessed what Shu Mo was thinking, a scale suddenly floated out from the darkness. On the scale made of diamonds, the tent owner placed an ordinary chip on it, and on the other end was a golden arm. , the next second, the chips rushed towards the other end as if they had eaten a huge mountain, and pressed heavily on the ground. The arm on the side was directly lifted up, which showed that this entire arm was not even worth one chip.

The tent owner stretched out his hand to pick it up, and then said: "Every chip in this shop has its own weight, and this one needs to be filled with greater greed."

It said: "You can give me your greed and desire in exchange. Dear sir, what do you think is the biggest greed in the world?"

Shu Mo thought for a moment, then replied: "Is it the thirst for knowledge?"

" No," the tent owner said, "This is a good desire, but the greatest greed in the world is greed for time."

"Everything will corrupt under the catalysis of time, even gold will decay into powder. In the realm, you can have endless time, all of which comes from the world's thirst for time."

The tent owner stretched out his hand and took back the chips. Shu Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, and a sound came from the darkness. Qingqing: "I am honored to welcome a distinguished guest like you, but we cannot take away your time."

"So, please come back, sir."

After hearing this, Shu Mo finally understood and co-wrote it After saying so many words, the only thing he wanted to express in the end was: "Reject free prostitution."

Shu Mo's eyes fell on the scale in front of him, and then he suddenly said: "Your name seems to have Question."

The tent owner glared: "My name is innocent!"

"Then do you dare to let me put this stone up?" Shu Mo said. The tent owner broke out in a cold sweat. Where is it? Dare to accept Shu Mo's things. Anything related to the seller will carry a part of the other party's fate and time, and its balance will rob the other party of everything. If Shu Mo puts his own things on it, then in an instant, the balance will be Maybe he will be directly crushed in half by his fate, and then the tent master will pawn.

And even if the scale withstands this wave of pressure, then it needs to pay an equal price in exchange for it. Even if the scale's magnification is 1:1000, if converted to the tent owner, it will cost its own life. Not enough to fill in either.

Shu Mo waited for a while, and when he saw that it was silent, he made a gesture to put the stone in his hand. The tent owner was almost frightened and jumped up on the spot. The dog quickly reached out and took the scale back. Shu Mo actually It was just a test. He could vaguely sense the other party's rules and did not underestimate the other party. Now, Shu Mo was absolutely sure that the tent owner did not dare to accept his things.

Shu Mo said, "I don't have anything else on me. Don't be too nervous. I'll give it a try."

The tent owner was so frightened that he almost died on the spot. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "My chips are not worth it." Bring it to exchange with you."

When this sentence fell into Shu Mo's ears, it could be automatically translated into: Please let me go. QAQ

Shu Mo suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. He didn't really want to force the other party to do anything. Shu Mo said, "I I know you have your difficulties, but I really need this bargaining chip."

Shu Mo said, "Is there anything you need me to do for you?" The

black-haired young man's tone became gentler, and the tent owner fell into a long silence. , in the darkness, the cloudy eyes suddenly fell on the captain behind Shu Mo. Then, it narrowed its eyes and suddenly grinned with its fangs grinning:

"I can't take away your destiny." The withered hand pointed at the captain behind Shu Mo. Then, the tent owner made no secret of his malice towards him: "But you can fill it with the fate of other people."

"The person behind you is very suitable to be me. New collection."

Shu Mo turned around and saw the corner of the blue-haired and black-eyed captain's eyes twitching. He stared at him. Only when the captain looked a little panicked did the black-haired young man turn back and continue to look. Towards the monster in front of him.

The tent owner looked at him eagerly. Facing its gaze, Shu Mo lowered his eyes, put the stone in his hand on the table, and gave the order: "Bring it here."

"Okay."

The tent owner handed the things over quickly. If it was given to Shu Mo, its movements would inevitably be a little hasty. If it had been like this earlier, it wouldn't have wasted so much of Shu Mo's time.

"You walk slowly, hahaha."

Seeing Shu Mo turn around and leave, the tent owner still greeted him warmly, but his voice was a bit gritty. Shu Mo turned back and glanced at it, and the other person's tone instantly became kind and gentle. .

After Shu Mo took two steps toward the casino, he suddenly stopped and asked the captain to wait for him there. Then, the black-haired young man turned back and said to the tent owner behind him:

"Do you need...salvation? "

The tent owner paused in packing his things. After a moment, an indescribable, tired, sigh-like voice came from the darkness:

"We don't need redemption." The tent owner said, "We just want revenge. "

We don't want to be your enemy, but we hope that you will not stop our path of revenge."

The tent owner said, and the countless vertical pupils flashed across the captain's body, with murderous intent and hostility in its eyes. There is no concealment at this moment. In fact, all the monsters here have an almost instinctive hostility towards the captain. If he hadn't been following Shu Mo all the time, he would have been torn apart by the monsters here.

The captain himself didn't mess with the monsters here, but he came from the Life Factory.

After saying this, the tent owner slowly lowered the tent and hung up the closing sign. It seemed that Shu Mo had taken out the tent today and was so frightened that he closed the door.

Shu Mo glanced at it again, then turned and walked in the direction of the captain. The man saw that Shu Mo was talking to the tent owner just now, but he didn't ask or say anything. He was a smart enough man. At least when it comes to pretending to be deaf, the captain is a deaf-mute with great professional ethics.

Shu Mo held the chip in his hand and walked towards the casino. The pink-haired woman and the mechanical man were still waiting anxiously. The guards on the side looked at them with undisguised malice, thinking If it weren't for Shu Mo's instructions before leaving, they would have been torn into pieces and turned into new chips in the casino.

Shu Mo came back to them. The two of them looked at him, even their breathing was stagnant. The captain glanced at Shu Mo and then said, "That's it."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu is it true? Oh my God, I won't do it again in my next life." No more gambling." The pink-haired woman and the mechanical man almost hugged each other. Everything that happened in the casino taught them a hard lesson.

Shu Mo handed the chips to the guards on the side. They came over to take the chips, then shook their heads and said something to Shu Mo. The black-haired young man frowned and continued: "Not only did you lose ten thousand chips, And signed a contract with the casino?"

Shu Mo asked in surprise: "How did you do this?"

After the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man looked at each other, they smiled awkwardly: "Actually, at the beginning, we just did this. We owe very little."

"But the security guard said that if we win next time, we can win everything back."

"Then we lose more and more."

The gambler stood at the gambling table. , suddenly let out a loud laugh, and pushed up all the chips in his hand: "Win, I will win!"

"Then," amidst everyone's wild laughter, the crisp sound of gold chips falling one by one rang out. , the smile on the gambler's face first showed madness, joy, and then sluggishness for a moment. Then, his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably: "We won a game, and then we gambled everything Go up."

The pink-haired girl said, "The security guard was used as a bargaining chip in front of me, but I... I always thought I would win next time."

Shu Mo looked at her, and the look in his eyes made the pink-haired girl step back. Taking a step forward, they hugged the mechanical man. The two of them began to tremble. They were not as arrogant as they were at the beginning. Now the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man did not dare to speak loudly in front of Shu Mo, as if they were cheating on an exam. The supervising teacher found out that he was helpless and desperate.

"...Ask the boss of your casino to come see me." Shu Mo finally said. The captain glanced at him, then slowly turned his head, shy of meeting people. The three people could only gather together, and an indescribable aroma came out. Obviously there was no feeling, but it only reminded people of the rancid smell of money, but this smell was attractive at the same time, even if it was no longer No matter how bad the stench is, it makes people unable to extricate themselves and can only get stuck in it.

A golden roulette wheel slowly rose from the gambling table. Behind it were hands floating in the air. Those hands looked at Shu Mo in front of them and made a sound of surprise:

"Oh my God, my dear." ■ ■My lord, you are indeed a distinguished guest. It’s an honor for such a distinguished guest to come to my casino!”

Those hands flying in the air made exaggerated gestures. Although they clearly had no faces or expressions, they gave people a feeling of dancing with excitement. It felt like it was making gestures, and at the same time it was getting faster and faster, more and more impatient, almost an afterimage appeared:

"Oh, I must report this to the great Lord of Absurdity, you need a gorgeous show How about we use the fireworks show as a ceremony to invite you? Oh, that would be really nice.”

Shu

Mo left. He went over and tapped the roulette wheel very gently. The golden roulette wheel tilted and almost fell to the ground. The hands beside him were trying to stabilize it. Shu Mo said sorry, then he held his hand and continued: "I I want to take away two people from your casino."

"Oh? Oh!" Jinshou, who looked very excited just now, then asked suspiciously, "Who are they?"

There was something strange in his voice. With such emotion, Golden Hand turned around and saw the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man standing there like two sculptures.

"Are these two gamblers who lost everything?" There was an indescribable disdain in Gold Hand's tone. Thinking about the mechanical man's behavior of cheating, it was very disdainful. Of course, it was not him that it disdained. He was cheating, but his method of cheating was too shoddy.

"What do I need to do to take them away?"

"Let me think about it, oh oh, you don't have to do anything!" Jinshou said fearfully: "They just need to pass a small test of mine. They Your soul is here with me. You have done so much for them, but in the end they don't have to do anything. Aren't you just sitting back and enjoying the results?"

Shu Mo frowned slightly. He turned around and wanted to say something else. But the woman and the mechanical man took a deep breath, and then took the initiative to come out: "Yes, we can't let you do this all the time. You just need to pass the test. If you can't do this, then we might as well be trapped forever. Stay here."

Shu Mo said, "I didn't do anything."

"No, thank you." The two of them looked at each other, and then they walked out and looked at the golden hand in front of them. In front of the roulette wheel, the captain did not stop them. Shu Mo said helplessly: "If you die here now, then I have done a useless job."

"You have some confidence in us!"

Shu Mo took a step back. : "But, this is your business after all. If you think about it clearly, you can do it yourself."

The pink-haired woman took a deep breath, and the mechanical man also made a firm expression. After they looked at each other, Ya Na said: "Come on."

"Oh~" Jinshou looked at them. Although he tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't hide the murderous intention in his tone: "Let me think about it, you are all gamblers who want to leave the casino. Disciple, will you ever gamble again?"

Both the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man shook their heads.

"That's good," Goldhand said, "I hate gamblers the most. If I see people who make the same mistakes again after making a promise, I will definitely kill them."

"But since you are leaving the casino, How about one last gamble? "

"As long as you beat me, I can give you everything on the golden roulette..."

Golden Hand said slowly, and the next second, it moved out of the way. Surrounded by countless golden hands, the golden roulette wheel behind them was revealed. Everything on the roulette wheel appeared in their eyes, as if it included everything in the world. Among them were not only the wealth and treasures that everyone dreamed of, but also the ability to Obtaining other people's lifespan and time are precious treasures that gamblers who once wanted to leave the Golden Casino wanted to obtain but could not obtain.

"Come on, as long as you bet one last time, if you beat me, you can take away the things above."

Both people's breathing became rapid. Bet, as long as you bet one last time, you can not only leave the casino, but also get those things. Things, the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man involuntarily approached the golden roulette. After struggling with their hands for a while, they then reached for the roulette.

Jin Shou said: "Come on, let me tell you the rules of this bet. It's very simple. You just need to..."

Shu Mo covered his face and was silent for a moment, then he limped to the place where the two of them were standing. Behind them, Jin Shou wanted to stop him, but after being glared at by him, he could only stand aside obediently. The black-haired young man stood behind them and whispered:

"You still want to bet?!"

"As long as you win In the last game, you can get what's here..." The pink-haired woman murmured, "As long as you win, that's all."

"You think so too?" Shu Mo looked at the mechanical man beside him, who couldn't help himself. He stretched out his hand, but at this moment, a chill came, and both of them shivered uncontrollably. They looked at the roulette wheel in front of them, first stunned, and then felt a chill behind them: What are they doing? They were obviously about to leave the casino, so why did they want to gamble one last time now to get more things?

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on both of their foreheads. Seeing that they had come to their senses, Shu Mo gave each of them a slap on the back of the head unceremoniously. The two of them immediately squatted on the ground, covering their backs, and said repeatedly: "No more gambling, I will never gamble again!"

"Really! " , I am sober from the bottom of my heart, I will never gamble again!"

The next second, as they shouted, the golden roulette slowly cracked, and a black and rotten hand slowly stretched out from the inside. It holds two contracts in its hand, which are the casino contracts between the pink-haired woman and the mechanical man.

After Shu Mo took the contract, Jin Shou was still a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to make any small moves, so he could only say: "Okay, you won, you can leave the casino."

Shu Mo said: "Don't tell Xibu This is my news."

Jin Shou: "...But, His Majesty, he is looking for you."

Shu Mo said, "I can't tell you."

Jin Shou was so anxious that he stopped where he was. Watching Shu Mo turn around and leave with others. It didn't know whether it should report the matter to the guards of the Opera House. When it met the guards who came to investigate, it could only say hesitantly: "Sir, has he been here before, uh, this."

"He, He seems to have been here before?"

"...Have you ever seen that gentleman

?" Jin Shou said, "

Is it possible that

he has seen the headless dancer in the gorgeous theater? The swallows danced on the stage as softly as if they were boneless. As they beat, the entire stage seemed like a stringless theremin, played by the dancers using themselves as strings.

Their dancing postures were perfect and moving, and the songs they played were even more beautiful. On the high platform, the judges sitting on both sides of the stage were gathering together, commenting in low voices on the music, which was strange and rhythmic. As the song came out, the entire stage fell into a silence shocked by the perfect music. However, at the moment when the dancers were about to play the last song, one of the dancers suddenly stopped in his steps. , it staggered and fell. Although it stabilized its body in time, it also made the stringless music make noise for a moment.

The next second, the dancer raised his feet and found a purple needle stuck on his ankle. Just as he was about to get angry, the stage made a strange noise at this moment, and long swords were suddenly drawn out from all directions, and then penetrated The dancer's body was torn apart, and as flesh and blood flew everywhere, the long knives slowly dissipated. After that, the remains of the body that fell on the stage played the last chaotic song.

"Now it's up to the judges to score the songs performed by the 'Faceless Dancers'!"

The intense scoring session came. The judges looked at the minced meat on the stage. After a moment of silence, they lowered their heads and wrote down their own scores. , the next second, the final score appeared on the stage:

"6 points!"

"Faceless Dancer, out!"

A theater staff member came out from the backstage and shoveled the Faceless Dancer away from the stage. , yes, just shovel away. Its movements are extremely skillful, and it must have been used to it. It has to be said that being a cleaner does still require some strength. If Shu Mo were here, he would be a little emotional about this.

On the cleaner's shovel, the cry of the faceless dancers could be heard. They cried all the way. At the edge of the corridor, a purple-haired Mamen looked at this scene expressionlessly. He put away the purple needle in his hand. , walked back to the contestant room backstage, and saw Punia sitting on a chair looking at him, and said to him:

"Mamen, how did you do?"

Mamen narrowed her eyes at him, and then Said: "Instead of caring about me, it is better to think about how you can win the selection of the queen next."

He said.
