Returning from the abyss

Chapter 192 Gambling
It took a long time to study the books, which made Lu Ning a little distracted during class on Thursday.Until noon, Han Qingshen mysteriously pulled her into the toilet, took out two tickets and showed them to Lu Ning.

"A concert? You told me a long time ago..."

"That's not the same! Yesterday the official concert ticket lottery was held! Guess what? I won the lottery!"

Lu Ning was still thinking about what she saw yesterday, so she didn't pay much attention for a while, and responded casually:

"Oh, what's the prize?"

"Cen Mujian's private fan meeting! 10 minutes! I dare not tell anyone!"

The more Han Qing said, the more excited he became, and he even looked like he was going to faint.Lu Ning quickly let her go, and then realized what Han Qing said just now.

"You won the lottery...then congratulations."

"Lu Ning! Come with me! I'm afraid I'll faint from excitement, and I need a calm person like you to accompany me!"

"Wait, it's for two people?"

"Accompaniment is allowed! Promise me! This is also a good opportunity, right? You can also feel the charm of Cen Mujian up close!"

Han Qing pulled Lu Ning's arm, as if he would not let go unless he agreed.Lu Ning could only nod her head, and asked about the time. It was after ten o'clock after the concert, not too late.

The last thing she did was to find Cheng Yurun just in case.

Cheng Yurun has been busy with something these past few days, probably related to the quest, at least he should have solved most of the main quests so far, and he probably got the clues of the Victims Club.

Although Lu Ning knew that she could not count on the other party, on the other hand, since she was leaving the scene, Cheng Yurun had nothing to hide.

"Feel sorry."

The two sat down in the music classroom again, and Cheng Yurun just apologized.

"You don't owe me anything."

"It's my fault that my teammates formed an alliance but didn't perform their duties well." Cheng Yurun shook his head slightly, "Are you going to the concert tomorrow? So be careful."

"Your mission is complete." Lu Ning said in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, it will be faster to find the first task by yourself, although that also means missing some clues about your identity. Si Fangle, the serial murderer, has already told you, you just need to verify it. As for the victim The club... the place I went to is now abandoned and nothing can be found, so I can't help you."

"How did you know the clues there?" Lu Ning asked with a frown.

"Exchange information with Jiang Shanhao, and then follow those suspects. Many of us have already sneaked into their meetings in this way, and the task has been completed...Because the time is too short, I haven't had time to notify you."

"It's okay."

"So what I can tell you is the content of that meeting: They are preparing to attack the Queen's Golden Crown tomorrow. As the biggest terrorist attack, many important members of the club will be involved in this matter. There is no doubt that those ability users will also will be involved."

Hearing this news, Lu Ning was a little embarrassed.

"Many tasks are not difficult to complete if you find clues, so this time is also a good opportunity... But I won't interfere, and you know why." Cheng Yurun stood up, "Sabbath, that's a trap. I want to open the door Someone has already contacted you, and it won't do you any harm to listen to her on some unimportant matter. I can almost guess who she is, you probably don't know her, and the trustworthiness is okay."

He took out a USB flash drive and handed it to Lu Ning.

"There is a program here that will lock it for 72 hours. I have already left by then. You can take a look at the unlocked things inside. Finally, those people like Jiang Shanhao...don't trust them too much."

"Understood." Lu Ning also stood up, and shook hands with Cheng Yurun, "Then I wish you well."

"Thank you." Cheng Yurun forced out a smile with difficulty.

=======================
In the early morning, Lu Ning changed into the attire she got in District Seven again.With the assistance of Jumoni Ye Nai, she also completed her first makeup.Immediately afterwards, the two went straight to the Queen's Golden Crown.

On the [-]th floor, the top floor of the casino, the gambling here is not a simple money transaction, but a more open, random bet gambling.

Everyone who walks in here must undergo strict and confidential identity verification to confirm all the "gambling funds" he holds.This process is not too slow. Lu Ning and Shiwen Ye Nai's net worth can be easily checked to know how much surplus they have, and they quickly passed the inspection at the door.

Everyone in the casino has a certain amount of cross-dressing, so Shiwen Ye Nai has become a more unusual dress.She didn't care about that either, she began to taste the glass of red wine as soon as the waiter brought it, and Lu Ning was also carefully looking at the surrounding environment.

There are several long tables with food here, bustling with men and women in different clothes, it doesn't look like a casino but more like a banquet.There is a high platform in the distance, a band is playing soothing blues music on it, and the most people gather below the high platform.

Lu Ning picked up a piece of crystal pastry, guessing in her heart that the supply here is free, and it is not difficult to enter, so the only difficulty is to leave?
At this moment, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

When she turned around, she saw Ye Nai gesturing to her on the other side, and a man wearing a silver mask covering the upper half of his face was waving to her.

The two walked over together, and Lu Ning recognized his voice as soon as the man opened his mouth.

"Long time no see, Miss Lu Ning."

"Luke? I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I'm more or less from a wealthy family, and I did a little research on your identity after that day... Please don't take offense."

"The apology can be saved for later, what's going on here, do you know?"

"Then you're asking the right person." Luke raised the corner of his mouth, "The gamble here will start at nine o'clock in the morning, and there will be a big gamble every hour. Only after the first big gamble starts, the small gamble will start. It’s officially started. Someone can get rich in just an hour here, and someone can lose everything they own in minutes, these are all possible.”

"My everything?"

"It's very dangerous." Luke raised his finger and pointed to a man in a suit and leather shoes not far away, "Last week, this man won the other's life from a private entrepreneur, and now he is sitting on a multi-billion-dollar mansion. The company, three overseas properties, married a young and beautiful model as his wife. If the other party's child is not over 15 years old, I am afraid that even the custody rights will be taken over."

"child?"

"The so-called life includes future generations, although it is only children under the age of 15. Now it is probably difficult for an entrepreneur to make a comeback? After all, besides these things that are actually lost, who knows what else has been taken away."

Luke smiled sarcastically.

"People here never know the truth that big gambling can hurt their health. In fact, many people come here for nothing to try their luck, so it's normal to bet all their wealth and life at every turn. But even so, this kind of overnight The feeling of preying on others at the moment is still fascinating."

"Sounds like you come here a lot?"

"Clue...Miss Lu Ning." Luke raised his finger and gestured softly, "And this kind of place is probably the most suitable for me."

At this moment, the band's performance suddenly stopped, and the back of the high platform suddenly lit up, and brilliant golden characters appeared above:
[Can Cen Mujian's concert tonight end safely? 】

There are only two options below, "Yes" and "No", such a scene makes Lu Ning a little dazed.

"This is just an introduction. The downstairs will also invest money here. It's very simple, right? Choose one, and the winner will share the loser's money proportionally. Don't worry, it's a small scene." Luke took out a card as he spoke. After instructing the waiter next to him, the waiter immediately took out a small machine and swiped the card.

Sure enough, using this as a signal, someone immediately proposed a gambling invitation to others.

Lu Ning quickly experienced what an "arbitrary bet" is.After all, she and Shiwen Ye Nai both looked good, and they obviously had a sense of restraint when they came to this kind of place for the first time. Soon, several people came over and invited them.

"Miss, do you want to make a bet?"

The expressions of these people are very urgent.

Lu Ning didn't agree immediately, but turned to look at Luke to listen to his explanation first.

"It's easy to come in here, but hard to get out." Luke laughed, "You are only allowed to leave when your bet transaction amount reaches a certain number, otherwise the casino will forcibly confiscate your belongings until it reaches a certain number." Up to that limit. And every time you come in, this amount will increase once. I remember that the first time it was not much, it seemed to be 500 million?"

"What? There's an old hand here?" A man in a purple suit sneered, "But it's better to know, if you don't bet with us, someone will come to pester you later."

"After all, your quota is low, so you can afford it even if you lose." Another person echoed.

It seems that there is no need to ask what to do if the money is not enough and confiscated.

"Then, what is the gambling method?" Ye Nai next to him asked curiously.

The purple suit adjusted its collar arrogantly.

"We still have this bit of gentlemanly demeanor. You decide on the betting method. As long as the official confirmation is fair, we will accept it!"

The official confirmation is fair, that is to say, it is not allowed to choose one's own strengths as a gambling item.

"Oh~" Ye Nai snorted meaningfully, "Then let's play mahjong? This will never happen, right?"

Those few people readily agreed, but Lu Ning had no interest in it and said he would not participate.

"You really can rest assured." After they left, Luke brought Lu Ning a glass of soda.

"She doesn't need me to worry about it, and I don't need to worry about the money." Lu Ning took the soda and asked back, "Have you investigated the issue about your own family?"

Luke nodded, and led Lu Ning around the hall.

"Simply speaking, my identity means that I have money but no contacts. There are some discords in my family, and the amount of information I can get is relatively small. I really envy those of you who have a lot of clues."

"Investigation, intelligence exchange, and adventure, these are all necessary."

"I don't dare." Luke passed by a roulette table, casually placed a bet in a black area, and lost immediately.

"Why do you say that?"

"As you can see, I'm a bit... strangely lucky." Luke was thrown into the red zone again, but he still lost the bet with a [-]/[-] chance.

"Strange luck?" Lu Ning also took out two chips, which were exchanged with all the cash she had when she entered the door, and the value was very high.

"Yeah." Luke smiled, took out a stack of ten golden chips, and bet on the "0" position.And Lu Ning also put her two coins in the same place.

The people at the gambling table were not surprised by the money, but they were a bit curious about the non-black and non-red area they bet on, and they started joking one after another. Luke handled it quite skillfully, and saved Lu Ning from dealing with these things people.

The roulette turned quickly, and the small balls hit each block quickly and made a jingling sound, but Luke didn't care about the result on the table, turned his head and said to Lu Ning: "I was really unlucky that day, I went out The car tire blew up, I had a sudden stomach upset when I came to drink, I met robbers when I went to the toilet, but in the end, I met you, and then I used the information I got from you to open the situation..."

ding ding dong.

"Do you want to talk about your luck?"

"I'm usually unlucky, the kind of person who loses every gamble, but how do you say it? Is it extremely lucky? After accumulating a certain amount of 'unfortunateness', I will definitely be lucky. Although I often don't know It's going to be lucky in some ways, but some small things are still quite manageable."

The ball slides over the last color area and falls into the colorless grid.

"Congratulations to you two!"

The people at the gaming table shouted loudly, but they were not annoyed.This money is just entertainment for the people here, and it makes them more happy to see someone win the "0" zone.

The two ordinary chips in Lu Ning's hand have been replaced by a handful of gold ones. As she said before, the transaction volume of 500 million is nothing at all.

"Lend your light." Lu Ning put the chips in her pocket and nodded to Luke.

"Then as a return gift, I wonder if I have the honor to treat you to dinner? The view on the top floor here is quite outstanding." Luke sent out the invitation rather gentlemanly.

"Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

"How about tomorrow? I think we'll have a lot to talk about on Sabbath night."

"I can accept this invitation."

Lu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the high platform in the distance.

"Do you know the woman in the red dress?"

On the high platform, the staff in charge of the screen operation were tied up by several bodyguards and thrown onto the high platform. An obese man walked up with difficulty, and someone moved a chair for him to sit on, while a girl in red brought him a chair. Followed two young people, a man and a woman, to the high platform.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on that side.

Zhao Xihua showed a charming smile to the people in the audience, then raised his left hand, and pressed a delicate revolver against his temple.
