"People from Kassel College?"
Li Yongyuan stared at the World Tree badge on the girl's chest.
"Kassel College Grade 05, Department of Mechanics, Wan Boqian, now a specialist in the Executive Department."
As soon as she heard the familiar name, the girl's dim eyes lit up instantly, and her thin cheeks became slightly plump.
"Level 10 of Kassel College, Department of Philosophy, Li Yongyuan."
Mr. Li reported his name. Yes, he majored in philosophy at Kassel College, and his research topic was quite grand, on the possibility of harmonious coexistence between humans and dragons.
"I just bought it from the vending machine in the subway station lobby, if you don't mind." Li Longyuan first looked at Xia Mi, who was empty-handed, and then handed the Nongfu Spring in his hand to the girl.
Before Mr. Li could finish speaking, Wan Boqian gratefully took the mineral water from his hand and took a big gulp.
"Thanks."
Wan Boqian licked her chapped lips, not daring to let any drop of water go to waste.
"Have you been here long?"
The train was traveling in the dark tunnel in an unknown direction. Li Longyuan looked at her skinny appearance and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, three months and thirteen days to be precise. People will not die in the Nibelungs, and they will not age even if there is no food and water. It is just that the body will gradually wither and endure the endless torment. Lonely."
Wan Boqian nodded.
Li Longyuan didn't know how she counted the days, but being trapped in the underground maze day after day was a test of one's psychological ability to withstand stress.
But what she said later made Mr. Li frown. Did the time in the Nibelungs really never pass? Why did the grandfather die? Why did those orthodox family heads die?
They can stay in the small area of Yunding Heavenly Palace and live forever.
"I remembered. It seems that you were on the missing list of people reported by the Executive Department."
Putting aside the questions that currently have no answers, Li Yongyuan recalled the text messages he received in his mailbox.
"It seems that a specialist from the execution department came to see you later."
Mr. Li looked at the large bottle of water left in the girl's hand and knew that there must be someone trapped in the underground maze.
"My boyfriend is also a 04-level student of the Alchemy Mechanical Department of Kassel College. His name is Gao Mi. He came to me a month and a half ago after receiving a mission from the execution department, and he is also trapped here."
"Why don't you all act together?"
Mr. Li asked curiously.
"We are trapped in a gambling game. The loser needs to leave immediately, board a different subway and go around the maze alone until the next gambling session is about to start."
"It's really lonely." Mr. Li sighed with his chin. Xia Mi knew what he was feeling.
"Would you like some compressed biscuits? Restore some strength. It looks like the bus is about to arrive."
He took out a piece of military compressed dry food from the lining of the ancient black robe.
"Thanks."
Although you won't age or die in the Nibelungs, the feeling of being hungry is really uncomfortable.
Wan Boqian stretched out her slender hand to take it, carefully tore open the compressed dry food packaging bag, mixed it with water and ate it in small sips. The comprehensive dry food mixed with grains, meats and vegetables soon turned into energy and dispersed throughout her limbs as she swallowed. .
There is also about half the amount left.
"Junior Li, are you sure you can get out?"
As a commissioner of the Enforcement Department, Wan Boqian has dealt with many brutal hybrid crimes, but this is the first time she has been trapped in the legendary Land of the Dead. Like an insect trapped in a spider web, the more it struggles, the more desperate it becomes.
"Haven't you heard of me?"
Mr. Li pointed at himself and was a little surprised, as if the popular celebrity who was always crowded everywhere had suddenly become obsolete.
But it's normal if you think about it carefully. His title in the execution department is "Prince" and his real name has not been revealed.
And these post-graduate executive department specialists are busy performing tasks all over the world, and they may not always have time to browse the academy's Night Watch forum.
"He's the King of the Sea, stay away from him."
Xia Mi also became happy, grinned his two little tiger teeth and said to Wan Boqian.
"Who is this?"
Wan Boqian, who had been swallowing dry food in small mouths, first looked at Xia Mi, and then asked Young Master Li hesitantly.
"My name is Xia Mi, and I am..."
"It's the fish I raised in the sea."
Young Master Li answered for her, and was immediately greeted by a sharp glare like a sword.
"It turns out that the two of you are also lovers."
Wan Boqian nodded understandingly. Judging from their looks, these two people were a perfect match. Sitting in this old, mottled and rusty carriage, they were still laughing and joking. They were indeed both big-hearted.
"certainly not."
They both answered in unison.
"To be precise, she is just a clown fish in the sea. And I am the King of the Sea, and everything in the sea should be under my control."
When Mr. Li opens his mouth, he talks about the world's ambitions. Now that you have accepted the title of Neptune, you must do Neptune's things.
This is what Li Chengqian taught him a long time ago. If you bear a bad reputation for no reason and can't wash it off, then be a real villain.
Xia Mi just snorted from the side, grinding his little tiger teeth, thinking about finding a chance to show off this guy.
"While the gambling game hasn't started yet, shall I tell you the rules of the game?" Wan Boqian looked at the two people who were as angry as children and couldn't help but chuckle.
"All ears."
Mr. Li sat on the swaying bench of the train, with his back straight and his hands on his chest.
"Have you ever played Texas Hold'em? It often appears in God of Gamblers movies. The rules are very simple.
Each player will be dealt two hidden cards and five upright cards. The dealer will reveal the upcards three times, and one of the first three will be chosen and the last one will be chosen. Finally, everyone adds five up cards from the two hidden cards in their hands, and chooses five out of seven cards in total. Whoever has the higher suit wins.
Flush, straight flush, three of a kind, four of a kind, etc. are all big cards. You have to raise your bet every time before turning over the open card. If you think the card has a good chance, you will increase your bet. If you think there is no hope, you will not follow. The dealer will also come down and play together. "
"I still like fried golden flowers. It's simple and straightforward, and all Chinese men love it."
After listening to the rules, Mr. Li made comments, which made Wan Boqian roll her eyes at him speechlessly.
She stayed here for more than three months and waited for nine gambling games to start. If she really played according to the rules of Jinjinhua, she would lose faster.
It's possible that you won't have any experience of the game at all, and you'll be eliminated directly.
Later, Wan Boqian actually felt that the moment she sat at the gambling table was the moment when she felt most at ease.
There will be a glimmer of hope, although this small hope will soon turn into despair.
"Also, the dealer will look at each person's inner loneliness and give them corresponding chips. People like us who lose all our chips at the gambling table have to wander around the underground maze alone, hoping that when the market opens next time, Able to obtain higher chips as much as possible.
This is also the reason why Gao Mi and I never walk together. We hug and hold hands once. As the loneliness in our hearts weakens, the chips will also decrease accordingly. On the contrary, if we ignore each other or get angry at each other, we will get more. "
After saying this, she did not forget to look at Young Master Li and Xia Mi, who were looking at each other.
"So you two, now is really not the time for couples to get angry. While you can still hold hands and hug each other, cherish it."
