Chapter 340 If I were here in person
At the same time as the gambler stood up and walked towards the man, Meilin, who was sitting between the two seats, also stood up and left her seat to make way for the gambler. Her smooth and fluid movements made Ning Zhe feel that she was just one step away from saying "Taijun, please come in".
"No, no, please don't... no..."
As the gambler approached, the stench of a rotting corpse hit him in the face. Waves of chills crawled up the man's spine like a maggot, causing him to collapse powerlessly on the sofa. His trembling legs could not support the weight of his body, and he could not even stand up.
"No, no, no..."
In the quiet room, only the pleas and groans of the 'loser' echoed in the air. Ning Zhe saw the gambler's large palm grab the man's head, and his five fingers firmly grasped his crown, just like a basketball player grabbing a basketball with one hand.
"Hmm?" Ning Zhe frowned slightly and suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Fen Wu did use the power of the gambler to remove the Serpent God Summoning from me. It's true that his goal has been initially achieved, but... Fen Wu is very unlucky."
"The only way to take something from the gambler is to take out a bet of equal value and win it in the game. Gambling depends on luck. As luck would have it, the gambler is very lucky now. He got Zhao You's almanac and the favor of the snake god. He is seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster. The gambler is now very lucky."
Previously, the gambler played Russian roulette with Sally Sally and others, and played ghost cards with Xia Yubing and others, and never lost in several rounds. This is a manifestation of this kind of "good luck".
"While the gambler's luck was overflowing, Fen Wu's own luck was extremely bad. As one increased while the other decreased, the difference in their luck had become unbelievable. With such a difference in luck, even the smallest probability would become infinite. If Ge Liheng tossed the coin several times, the gambler would win several times. It was impossible for Fen Wu to win over the gambler in gambling. The possibility of him winning over the gambler was infinitely close to zero."
Unless he is cheating.
In a flash, Ning Zhe thought of many things. He looked up and saw that the gambler's five fingers had dug deeply into the man's skull, pinching bloody holes around his head. With a click, his crown was forcibly opened, and the three of them were stunned.
"No, that's not right..." Ning Zhe's heart was awestruck. He had already discovered that something was wrong with the current situation, but what exactly was it?
The gambler has good luck, while the angry person has bad luck. The winning or losing of gambling depends entirely on luck. Is there any way to ignore the difference in luck and forcibly win the gambling?
……some.
Once the cheating is discovered by the gambler, the bet will be confiscated directly. In other words, as long as the gambler doesn't discover it, it's fine.
With a snap, the gambler casually threw the bloody and hairy skull on the table. His skinny and slender fingers reached into the hot pot like chopsticks, and reached into his wide-open skull, and picked out a fat, white worm about the thickness of a finger.
Taishou: Worm.
As the worm was pulled out of his brain, the man's body twitched violently several times, and his legs kicked wildly under the table like a bullfrog with its head chopped off. Soon, he collapsed on the sofa and did not move.
"This is the 'bet' that this man carries with him, which is of equal value to his straw man substitute."
Seeing the gambler put the worm he dug out from the man's brain on the table and put it together with the substitute straw man he had given away before, Ning Zhe felt a little relieved, but at the same time a little confused.
Xia Yubing wrote in the description in his notebook that the worm that parasitized in Fusolus' brain was very large, almost the same size as a human brain or even larger, and it filled up his cranial cavity. But the worm that the gambler dug out now was only as thick as a finger, more than ten times smaller than the one in Fusolus' brain.
Ning Zhe stood up and looked down at the man's wide-open cranial cavity. Unlike Fusolus, his head did not become empty after the worms were dug out. His pink brain could still be seen inside the cranial cavity. It did not become a complete empty shell like Fusolus.
even……
Ning Zhe sat back on the sofa, looking at the dull expression on the man's face. His eyes were dull and lifeless, but the moment Ning Zhe's gaze fell on his eyes, his two bloodshot eyeballs suddenly rolled around, and both eyeballs quickly turned in the same direction, staring straight at this side with resentful eyes, meeting Ning Zhe's gaze.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his face. "Heh..." Ning Zhe smiled slightly: "Interesting."
While he was thinking, the gambler who got the bet had returned to his seat. Meilin, who had recovered from her shock, sat back on the sofa, looking palely at the man next to him with a weird smile on his face and his pink brain exposed to the air.
The man sat up straight and slowly straightened his collar and cuffs that were messed up during his struggle. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the gin in it. Then he picked up the bloody skull on the table and gently pressed it on his head. His movements were as elegant as if he was putting on a top hat. He smiled politely at Ning Zhe.
Seeing this scene, how could Ning Zhe not understand?
The mortal man just now is dead, and the one sitting here now is Fen Wu.
"Allow me to ask a question." Ning Zhe looked at Meilin who had just taken a seat and said, "Where is your young lady now?"
Meilin frowned, her face showing a vigilant look: "Which lady are you talking about?"
"Plumelia Flimmisret." Ning Zhe said calmly, "Where is she now?"
Seeing that the other party could accurately say the lady's name, Meilin's eyes became more alert: "I am not obliged to answer your questions."
"I understand. Then let me ask you another question." Ning Zhe continued, "Is your young lady safe now?"
"Safety? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Meilin's attitude became visibly anxious: "You mean someone wants to endanger the lady's safety? Explain yourself clearly!"
"That's not the attitude to ask for help." Ning Zhe smiled. Fortunately, he was magnanimous. "I guess your young lady is hiding somewhere in the opera house right now, waiting for your signal at any time, ready to 'take back her move' at any time, right?"
"...It's you!" Meilin gritted her teeth, "You are the Ascended One who played the Requiem in the castle and took away the Necromancer! What on earth do you want to do!"
"I'm not obligated to answer your questions." Ning Zhe returned the words to her.
Meilin bit her lower lip and glared at him as if she wanted to eat him.
"In short, if my guess is correct, and your young lady is really hiding somewhere in the opera house at this moment, waiting for your signal, then I suggest you let her run away quickly."
Ning Zhe had a charming smile on his face and said softly, "You won't be able to escape if you're any later."
Because there is a guy scarier than a ghost who has set his sights on her.
Meilin was stunned when she heard that, and suddenly turned her head as if possessed by a ghost. She saw a well-dressed man sitting lazily beside her with his legs crossed, holding a half glass of gin in his hand, his face covered in blood, and a big smile on his face.
"You're pretty good," he said.
As he spoke, he raised his glass to Ning Zhe from a distance: "It would be even better if he wasn't an enemy."
