The dealer once again flicked the steel ball gently, but this time the steel ball fell very fast, several times faster than before, so fast that Li Wei and Yuan Cheng fell into the tunnel before they could use their abilities.
If it fell into the sixth tunnel, it would be easy to slide it to the big one, but it happened to land on the first one. If it bounced up again, it would probably be considered as a mistake. The points that were interfered with would never count. What's more, there is still suspicion of cheating.
The steel ball rolled slightly and stopped on the small one.
The dealer shouted with a smile: "One small one, kill all!"
Although there was no second gambler, the banker still yelled "all kills" as usual and looked at Li Wei and Yuan Cheng in a playful manner.
Zhang Feng was afraid and said: "Why don't we talk about it later?"
Li Wei looked at the three yuan beads in the brocade box and said firmly: "Three, still six!"
"Okay!" The dealer hurriedly asked someone to push down the Yuanzhu, for fear that Zhang Feng would regret it and stop betting.
Although Li Wei didn't know why the steel ball suddenly accelerated just now, he was not prepared at that time. If it happened again, the speed might not be controllable.
"Buy it and leave!"
The dealer flicked the steel ball again. The speed of the steel ball instantly became faster than before. Like a sharp blade unsheathed, a huge pressure rushed out like a knife. The pressure disappeared in front of Li Wei and had no effect. When he reached him, the steel ball popped out laterally. When it fell, it accelerated again and hit the tunnel like a thousand catties. At the same time, Li Wei activated his ability and tried to grab the steel ball, but the speed and strength were slightly inferior. The steel ball fell to the ground. In the No. 2 tunnel, it stopped in the middle.
"Second middle school, kill them all!"
"It's over, it's over, it's all over!"
Zhang Feng went crazy and gambled all his Yuanzhu into it. From then on, he never had the chance to get the Immortality Pill again. The cautiousness in the first half of his life turned into a lie.
"The branches quack, the little frogs climb up the tree."
Zhang Feng was talking like crazy and couldn't find the door to go out. He crossed the chair with one leg and jumped forward with the other, running around.
"Throw him out!"
Casinos are used to seeing crazy people, and they have long been used to it.
"You two want to continue gambling? Gambling money? Or gambling Yuanzhu?"
"No more gambling!"
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng still haven't figured out how a person who doesn't know martial arts can pop a steel ball with such force. Do they really not know martial arts?
When leaving, Li Wei mobilized his energy and blood and carefully observed everyone in the casino. They were more or less controlled to move slightly, including the banker in Room 6 who followed him out.
This state of casual attraction is difficult to change temporarily, and Li Wei's actions are sudden. Even if someone deliberately hides his martial arts and does not resist, it is impossible for no trace to be exposed at all.
Seeing Zhang Feng being thrown on the road, Li Wei and Yuan Cheng didn't stop much. Since they were going to bet, they had to be prepared to lose. Who can always win?
Can't afford to gamble? Then don't gamble!
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng returned to their residence. They were both thinking about the same problem. If the banker didn't know martial arts, then the problem lies in the gambling device, a gambling device that can produce strange abilities.
Noble Phantasm, baby?
Or a legendary god?
When the two of them were in the casino, they suppressed an impulse, an urge to take action. Yuan Zhu and the banker were close at hand. If they caught them, they could ask about the secret of Yuan Zhu, and they could also exchange it for the longevity pill, and completely know these things. Is there a scam behind the transaction?
But in the end they did not take action, Li Wei felt a threat, and Yuan Cheng felt an illusion.
Li Wei: "Is it possible that that gambling instrument is a treasure that an ordinary person can use?"
Yuan Cheng: "But I have never heard of any treasure phantom that can be used by ordinary people!"
Li Wei: "I have never heard of pawnshops, casinos, and grocery stores. They don't exist the same way!"
Yuan Cheng: "No, no, these transactions need to be kept secret. Although we don't know why yet, we can be sure that the people behind it don't want this matter to spread. But why should the Noble Phantasm be concealed when it can be used by ordinary people? Or how can it be concealed? Can you live there?"
Li Wei: "That's right. Although the Noble Phantasm is precious, there are quite a lot of it. Most of them cannot be used by ordinary people. If a small part could be used, the news would have spread a long time ago. At least the world would not recognize it as exclusive for virtual warriors. There is only one possibility...!"
Yuan Cheng: "That gambling device is the only one, or one of the very few, that is fully controlled!"
"That's right. We only know about the gambling equipment in Room 6. Are the gambling equipment in other rooms the same? Not necessarily. Maybe the forces behind these sales control all of this precious equipment, so outsiders don't know!"
The things in front of them became more and more real, leaving the two people who were beyond the scope of their cognition into confusion. They didn't know what to do next to find the answer.
Maybe, one of the two people can try to exchange Yuanzhu? It only takes one Qi and Blood Pill to verify this series of events, and the risk is not necessarily great. After all, these people don't know martial arts.
"Why don't we give it a try...?"
Li Wei shook his head firmly and said: "The power and speed of the gambling tool just now exceeded my ability, and we don't know its upper limit yet. If it is hit by the thing that extracts time, you can be sure that it will extract a few Hour?"
Indeed, if the gambling tool has a strong ability, the ability to draw time must also be strong. In this case, it is indeed very dangerous to fall into the effect of a treasure or divine object without defense.
Yuanzhu cannot be used by outsiders, and the bet that it can be used by outsiders has been lost. On the surface, there are only two ways to find the answer to the mystery, one by yourself and the other by others.
Or leave here without finding the answer.
But the huge secrets hidden here have exceeded the fight for the head of the Xuanwu Sect Heavenly Palace, so it would be a pity to give up like this.
Continue to force others to change the time?
This seemed to be a safer method, but Li Wei hesitated. Although he had killed many people, he was not a murderous person.
Jianghu is very cruel. If you don't kill people, others will kill you. This truth is very simple. Li Wei has known it since he came out of Jianghu, and he has never shown mercy. But what about killing innocent people?
During the transaction with Qi Chongbao, several scholars' disgust with killing made Li Wei begin to examine his past. Would those who had been killed really kill him? Will they relent? Will you let yourself go?
He would not let it go. The answer was yes, but Li Wei felt a little uneasy. Is it God's law that the weak eat the strong, or is it an excuse for people to satisfy their own desires?
Is that beggar innocent?
If he can get a chance to make a comeback, he needs to take certain risks. It seems reasonable, but is his life equivalent to an opportunity?
If it were the other way around, would Li Wei himself agree?
No, there may be more opportunities in the future, but this time it is too dangerous.
At this moment, Li Wei felt vaguely uneasy, but he was even more surprised. Yuan Cheng next to him should be more kind than himself. Why didn't he object when he forced the beggar?
Is he still Yuan Cheng?
If so, his behavior is very weird, including the previous code, something went wrong. If not, his behavior is too similar. Can people who come out of the illusion behave exactly the same as real people? Even the tacit understanding between the two is the same? Not too possible!
What did he encounter when he went out alone before?
Li Wei always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason.
Am I worrying too much?
Just when Li Wei was confused, a voice came over.
"Zhi~li~ga~ga, little~frog~up~the tree!"
A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Familiar because the voice was made by Zhang Feng who had just gone crazy. But strange because the voice was slow and old, as if decades had passed.
Li Wei was thinking about something, took a step slowly, and followed Yuan Cheng to the door, where he saw a "terrifying" person.
Zhang Feng's appearance can still be vaguely distinguished from the shape of his face and between his eyebrows, but it is no longer possible to tell who he is from other places.
With vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face, a collapsed nose, a shrunken figure, and white hair that almost fell to the ground, this was by no means a young man, but an old man who had fallen into decline.
Zhang Feng moved slowly and struggled, as if walking from the casino not too far away had exhausted all his energy.
Seeing Yuan Cheng and Li Wei going out, the crazy Zhang Feng didn't even blink. He continued to walk forward while saying something that no one could understand.
"Zhi~li~ga~ga, little~frog~up~the tree!"
"Zhi~li~ga~ga, little~frog~up~the tree!"
Li Wei didn't believe it, and Yuan Cheng didn't believe it either. Who and what kind of power could make a person age like this in just a quarter of an hour? Could it be that the pawnshop forced Zhang Feng to change the time?
Li Wei felt a little guilty. If they could have protected Zhang Feng at that time, maybe he wouldn't have been like this.
The risk of this gamble is too great, far beyond the limit that a person can bear, a consequence that one thought he could bear.
As if taunting, Zhang Feng deliberately passed by the two of them, and finally fell gently to the ground. In this way, he lost everything he had.
"Zhili quack, little frog, climb up the tree!"
The last crazy words before falling to the ground were fast and slow, just like the process of being forced to change the time, short and painful.
But these words came from nowhere and woke up Li Wei like a hammer, making him think of two key points.
I don't know if it was a trace of pity rising in his heart that gave him a small help.
"Where did those people go?"
Li Wei's words were very strange, leaving Yuan Cheng confused.
"who?"
"What about those people who secretly stared at us at the door when we first moved in?"
Hearing Li Wei's words, Yuan Cheng trembled unconsciously, just like he did at the grocery store before, very slight and strange.
"Oh? Yes! Where did they go? Is it because we stayed for a few days and didn't lose anything, so they stopped watching?"
Yuan Xiang was thinking about the reason, but it was more like trying to prevaricate Li Wei.
"Do you still remember what they said before? What did you see when you went over?"
"What's the point? I don't remember!"
"The people who were watching us at the door would walk away for a while. It was for this reason that you followed us out. Have you forgotten?"
The strange behavior of those people made Yuan Cheng suspicious, and after following them out, he discovered strange pawn shops and grocery stores.
"Oh, yes, yes, maybe it's because the pawn shop has some strange rules. They went in and looked at the time and then left. They don't know what it means when it's time!"
The pawnshop is open during the day, so there is no time to go to pawn shop. If you want to pawn shop, you don’t need to pick a time. So it’s strange that the phrase “it’s time” comes up.
Li Wei and Yuan Cheng have known each other for many years and are very familiar with each other's personalities and behaviors. However, since Yuan Cheng came back from that trip, things have become very strange. Compared with Yuan Cheng's meticulousness, Li Wei has always been grumpy and has trouble with many things. It was either to do it first and then think about it, or not to think about it at all, but now it was the other way around. Yuan Cheng had no idea and turned a deaf ear to these strange things, so Li Wei had to be careful.
A key point leads to an old question: Is Yuan Cheng still Yuan Cheng? What had he encountered before?
Some people died, but not completely...
