The night is getting darker.
Jiang Xu followed the man in sunglasses Jiangguchi, walking through the dark alleys, going further and further off the beaten path.
"Isn't it here yet?" Jiang Xu asked, seemingly uneasy.
"Right now, our Quezhuang belongs to Laoquezhuang, which has a relatively long history. It used to be in a prosperous area, but with the development of the city, it gradually became remote."
Eguchi Road.
"Is it!"
Jiang Xu nodded, and the corner of his eye glanced behind him inadvertently.
'Sure enough, there are still people following me. If I don't cooperate, are they still going to take coercive measures? Aren't you afraid of causing a diplomatic incident? '
He didn't think there would be any safety issues at first.
As a Xia national, his safety is extremely guaranteed in any country or region in the world.
No matter what force is on this planet, they all know not to provoke Xia Guo easily!
Otherwise the consequences will be unbearable.
Not to mention Sakurajima, which is so close to Natsu Kingdom. Generally speaking, even if there is a fight, if both parties see a tourist from Natsu Kingdom passing by, they will stop temporarily and wait for them to leave before continuing to fight to avoid accidental injuries.
'But if it's just two or three people. '
Jiang Xu clenched the bamboo sword in his hand, feeling a sense of security and confidence.
With his current entry-level kendo proficiency of -100%, he felt that he could be defeated.
But if there were more people, and as long as the opponent didn't have any sharp weapons, Jiang Xu felt that there would be no problem if he escaped.
These are also two important reasons why he dares to go to the opponent's lair alone.
I just didn't know what kind of stage the other party had prepared. Although Jiang Xu pretended to be nervous as a student on the surface, in fact, he felt a sense of eagerness to try in his heart.
Out of a feeling that he was about to touch the real side of the world, he chose to follow the other person to see more.
Otherwise, if Jiang Xu wants to leave, as long as the opponent dares to intercept him, he will know the actual combat ability of swordsmanship.
A lesson learned from this is that when investigating a person, you must investigate all the other person's information, and don't only investigate half of it.
We walked for about twenty minutes.
Jiang Xu was already very impatient and acted as if he might turn around and leave at any time.
Jiangkou comforted him again and again, and Jiang Xu reluctantly continued to move forward.
Finally, I walked for about five minutes.
They finally arrived at the Underground Bird Village.
Now that they're here, Jiang Xu didn't hesitate and pushed the door open directly under the leadership of Jiangkou.
In a shadow diagonally opposite the underground castle.
There was a person holding a cell phone, recording every move in and out of the door.
This person was none other than Matsuo, who had lost everything from the underground bird shop, and not a single happy bean was left in his body.
After leaving Quezhuang, Matsuo regretted it extremely, but after trying every method, he felt that he was unable to make a comeback. It was impossible to get back the lost Happy Bean.
If it were a normal mahjong game, he would have admitted losing.
But today's situation is obviously abnormal.
He was obviously set up.
The more Matsuo thought about it, the angrier he became, and suddenly he thought of a channel that specifically reported these underground bird shops, and he could get certain rewards for reporting.
But the problem is, even if he is a whistleblower, if it is known that he has participated, he will be reluctant to give out a reward, but he will definitely be arrested and given ideological education for a few days.
Therefore, while Matsuo kept recording, he was still hesitating whether to take the risk or not.
Suddenly, he saw a somewhat familiar figure approaching the underground bird shop.
Since he didn't see it clearly, Matsuo directly played back the video.
After seeing the person clearly, Matsuo Jiro's eyes suddenly widened.
'What's going on? They tricked Jiang Xujun into coming here? '
Matsuo just wanted to follow in and bring Jiang Xu out.
But then, they saw that as soon as Jiang Xu and the man in sunglasses entered the door, two men followed them in.
'There are people monitoring from behind! '
etc!
Matsuo suddenly realized something was wrong.
If this underground bird shop was targeting him, it might be because he wanted to trick his Happy Bean, but he didn't expect that he was a poor man.
But what were they looking for Jiang Xu for?
Jiang Xu is just a student, there is no way he has any Happy Beans.
The only thing he has in common with himself is that he reached the finals of the Chinese Cup in the same Quezhuang.
Monthly Cup Finals!
Monthly Cup Finals!
Matsuo suddenly thought that two days ago, the masked man who brought him to this underground restaurant had actually asked him whether he could sell the Richi stick from the Rose Cup finals.
He didn't care at the time and refused directly.
As for tonight's card game, now that Matsuo has calmed down, in retrospect, there were a lot of things that were unreasonable.
If it was for the purpose of swindling money, there was no way he would just let him go easily after he said he didn't have Happy Beans.
Under normal circumstances, they would induce themselves to sign Gaolidai's contract, but at that time, they were anxious to lose and would never sign without any hesitation.
But this underground bird farm didn't do that.
Matsuo now thinks back to the last game, and the scene of being cut off is still fresh in his memory.
In the end, he used Sometanjakuso's Riichi stick to pretend to be Riichi, but he was immediately stared at as if he was playing cards.
Moreover, not only the one who finally caught his own gun, Paihe, was weird, but the other two people, Paihe, were also obviously in trouble.
But from the perspective of the house cards, although the three people are all trying to judge Yaojiu, the people who listen to Hu are different from each other.
One family heard the word Hu Wanzi, the other heard the word Hu Cake, and the other heard the word Husuo. They were all planned in advance, and they stepped through the traps.
No matter which direction Matsuo plays his cards, it is basically impossible to break through this blockade.
And the design that made them work so hard seems to be just a small vertical stick? !
Although it was incredible, Matsuo felt that this was the real reason.
Could it be that this little standing stick really contains some secret? !
For a moment, Matsuo thought of all the bizarre rumors about Sometani Bird Village that he had heard since he was a child.
Some people have said that this bird shop only did late-night business in the past, and was specially opened for some weird beings to play cards for fun.
And sometimes, there are some human warriors called "hunters" who will step into Quezhuang and have mahjong conversations with these strange beings!
And after the victory, they set rules not to cause harm to the world.
Matsuo didn't know why he suddenly thought of these rumors he heard when he was a child.
But he instinctively felt that under the current situation, it was best for him to go to Ranguqiao Manor.
Even if it doesn't matter, you can still contact the poker players who are currently playing cards in Quezhuang, and work together to defeat this underground Quezhuang and rescue Jiang Xu.
However, judging from the behavior of this underground restaurant, Jiang Xu's personal safety will probably not be a problem.
After making up his mind, Matsuo Jiro no longer hesitated, turned around and headed in the direction of Sometanakusou.
If you take a detour through some alleys, you will find that the distance between this underground restaurant and Rangu Bird Village is surprisingly close.
When Jiang Xu opened the door, the first thing he saw was rows of mahjong machines.
The entire environment was smoky, filled with noisy playing cards, shouting and cursing, and second-hand smoke mixed with the smell of sweat, creating an indescribable smell.
The environment of this Quezhuang is exactly the same as that of Laoquezhuang decades ago.
It seems that Jiang Xu is not used to the outside environment.
Eguchi, a man in sunglasses, led Jiang Xu to the very back, opened a door, and walked into the corridor on the underground floor.
explained at the same time.
"There are separate private rooms down here, and our card games will be played here."
Jiang Xu nodded, seeming to be a little silent because he was not accustomed to being in a strange environment.
He looked around, from the outer door to the inner door, down the stairs, to the corridor, all the details of the route were reflected in his mind.
Jiangguchi continued to lead Jiang Xu and walked straight forward.
Jiang Xu also heard it. There were many sounds of playing cards in the private rooms on both sides.
It's actually a bird's nest, albeit an underground one.
For a moment, Jiang Xu was a little confused.
He originally thought that the other party would take him to some relatively private place, but who knows, he actually took him to a bird shop and was going to take him to a private room to play cards.
This doesn't make sense.
Jiang Xu discovered something strange.
If the other party's purpose is just to get a straight stick, wouldn't it be enough to just buy it from him?
If it didn't work out, I robbed it. Several adult men robbed a high school Ritsuba.
Even if Jiang Xu reported this kind of thing, it would not be taken seriously, because even if it were true, the loss would only be a straight stick.
Why go to all the trouble to put him in person?
There are two possibilities for doing this.
First, these people who are collecting ritsu sticks are very disciplined.
Second, the Ritsu stick must be taken away from the card table.
Jiang Xu's judgment is inclined to the second reason, because once the stick really contains secrets related to mysterious elements.
Then the value is completely immeasurable. In the face of interests, all rules and laws have to stand aside.
Therefore, the only way for them to 'invite' me here in such a obedient manner is because the way to obtain the Ritsu Stick is definitely very particular.
Only when the outcome is decided on the card table can you take it away.
This setting is very reasonable!
After all, the Ritsu stick is something that can only be used on the mahjong table. Only when the opponent wins with mahjong can you take away other people's Ritsu sticks as a matter of course.
Jiangguchi led Jiang Xu all the way deep into the corridor, skipping the private room where Matsuo had stayed dozens of minutes ago. He didn't open the door until the end, and took Jiang Xu in.
The three people who had played against Matsuo before did not devise some tricks to enter the private room in a staggered manner. Instead, all three of them were already waiting for Jiang Xu's arrival.
After Jiang Xu entered the door, he glanced lightly and imprinted the layout of the entire private room in his mind.
The layout of this private room is somewhat like the layout of some KTV private rooms.
There is a light installed above the head, and placed under the light is a square mahjong table, with two L-shaped couches placed symmetrically on both sides.
There is a coffee table in front of each sofa.
There is also a small room separated in the private room, which seems to be a bathroom.
Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, looked at the three strangers sitting at the card table, and asked immediately.
"Where's Matsuo? Why didn't you see anyone else?"
"Ah, Matsuo-kun went to the nearby bank to pick up the beans. He'll be back in a minute."
A tall, thin man with shaggy hair said.
"Really? Did he say how long it would take?"
Jiang Xu put the shopping bag in his hand on the coffee table next to him. His right glove was in a black protective bag, but the bamboo sword shaped like an umbrella never left his hand.
"Well, he said it will take about half an hour."
"It's a waste of time to wait like this. Why don't we start a game first and wait for him while we play?"
A man in yellow clothes said.
Card!
While Jiang Xu was talking to a few people, the man in sunglasses Jiangguchi turned around and closed the door of the private room. He also happened to stand in front of the door intentionally or unintentionally, blocking Jiang Xu's retreat.
Moreover, almost at the same time, two footsteps also sounded outside the door, but it was short-lived and seemed to stop as soon as they reached the door.
Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes and raised his hand involuntarily.
He was measuring the distance between the sword blade and Jiangkou's vital point, and had already completed the process of knocking down the opponent by himself, then opened the door and knocked down the two people guarding the door outside, ran out of the underground corridor, went upstairs, and rushed out of Quezhuang.
Jiang Xu estimated that his limit was that the entire process would only take three minutes to complete.
With such a short response time, as long as you want to escape, the other party will never be able to react.
Although it is unlikely that this group of people would do anything that would endanger their own lives.
But Jiang Xu is used to having an extra layer of insurance.
However, he also discovered that the other party seemed to have already noticed that he was just an ordinary high school student and did not pay much attention to it.
After he really followed him in, the other party seemed to regard him as a turtle in the urn, and didn't even bother to make up a reason.
However, this is exactly what Jiang Xu wanted.
He wanted to see what the secret was after all the troubles that led him to this underground villa!
"Okay, but even if Matsuo isn't here, is he still a Hanzhuang with a thousand Happy Beans?"
Jiang Xu asked.
As soon as his words came out, the three people sitting there were stunned, looked at each other, and showed a subtle smile.
"certainly."
at the same time.
In a neighborhood next door.
In a mahjong parlor.
Dressed in black and expressionless, Ishihara Ryosuke directly pushed down the cards in his hand.
"Rong! Duan Yao, one cup, one treasure card."
"40 talisman triple, 7700 points, and even the dealer fee is 1500 points. Total 9200 points. Sorry, you were knocked away."
Ryo Ishihara nonchalantly reported the number of talisman, and at the same time, he reached out and took the rose cup standing stick in front of his opponent into his hand.
dumb!
The hoarse crow sounded again.
Ryosuke Ishihara's face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't panic at all. With a movement of his fingers, he held the ritsu stick between his two fingers and stood it up in front of his opponent.
"Thank you, I'll take this stick away."
This action is almost like a provocation. He has obviously won someone else's stuff and is still showing off in front of them.
The opponent snorted angrily, and without saying a word, he stood up and left the card table.
Seeing this, the other two card players also shook their heads and left the card table.
Ishihara Ryosuke didn't care about the other party's attitude, and his eyes were still staring at the space a little in front of the Ritsu stick held between his fingers.
A black crow folded its wings urgently to avoid hitting the upright stick.
Seeing that the prey in the seat opposite had left, the crow turned his head and stared at Ryosuke Ishihara with his dark hole.
Ishihara Ryojie had no expression on his face and stared at it without hesitation.
dumb!
The black crow suddenly showed a hint of human mockery, fluttering its wings, like a black line, and penetrated into Ishihara Ryosuke's left eye.
Well! !
Ishihara Ryosuke's eyes widened uncontrollably, his body trembled, and he tightly clenched the Ritsu stick in his hand with such force that it was as if he was about to break the Ritsu stick.
Under the reflection of the overhead light, there seemed to be a thin layer of black mist floating on the left side of his face.
In his left eye, the black hole spread, almost filling the entire eye socket, which was extremely terrifying.
"I am! Ryosuke Ishihara!"
Ishihara Ryosuke almost growled his name.
It was not until the stalemate lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour that the stick in Ryosuke Ishihara's hand was bent under the extreme force.
The black mist flashed in different directions and disappeared from his face.
Breathing heavily, Ishihara Ryosuke's eyes darkened.
He has become increasingly unable to control this spirit of fortune.
And when he loses control completely, it's obvious what will happen.
After sitting silently on his seat for a moment, Ishihara Ryosuke got up and walked out of Quezhuang.
All the Ritsu sticks outside have been obtained.
It's time to go back.
