My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

Chapter 35 Kino's Moon
Driving back to the town, Ethan saw Hood and Leonard standing next to a truck, they were talking about something, Hood also stuffed an oiled paper bag into Leonard's hand.

Ethan turned the steering wheel and stopped beside the two of them.

"Sheriff, is your friend leaving?"

Leonard was carrying a luggage bag in his hand, and his face was still a little unhappy. Seeing Ethan approaching, he quickly stuffed the oiled paper bag into his pocket.

"Yes, Leonard came to find me something. Now that the matter is resolved, he should go back."

Hood reached out and patted Lennart on the shoulder, and moved him forward. "I talked to the driver, and he is willing to take you to Pittsburgh. Hurry up and get in the car."

Leonard nodded, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his toes, then climbed up to the passenger seat of the truck with his luggage.

After seeing the truck leave, Ethan knocked on the door with his lowered hand, "Sheriff, get in the car, you missed the big scene just now."

"No, my car is parked next to it, let's talk when we go back."

In the evening, after getting home from get off work and resting for a while, he went out to change into a 1970 Dodge Challenger and came to Miles Restaurant.

Parked the car in the parking lot, and after waiting for a short while, Dahlia waved goodbye to her colleagues and walked out of the Miles restaurant.

Seeing her looking around, Ethan rolled down the window and pressed the steering wheel.

The horn sounded, startling Dahlia.

She walked over in surprise and didn't rush into the car. After looking around the Dodge Challenger, she put her hands on the window and leaned down, "When did you change the car? This is such a charming guy."

"I bought it before traveling to San Francisco, and it was only a few days ago." Ethan patted the seat, "Hurry up."

Dahlia opened the door, twisted her slender waist and sat in the car.

"My grandpa also has a car like this, and he often took me out to play when I was young." Dahlia took off her coat and stretched comfortably.

Ethan took out a few flowers from the back seat, which he bought at a passing flower shop when he just came here.

"Thank you." Dalia took the flowers in surprise, "Where shall we go next?"

"Do you have any good ideas?" Dinner was eaten at Miles' restaurant, so there was really no need to find another place to eat.

Dahlia rolled her eyes, then said excitedly:
"It's still early, why don't we go to the moon of Kino to play? I have a surprise for you tonight."

Ethan also became interested, so he simply went over with Dahlia to meet him. Since he came to Banshee Town, he hasn't played in Chino Moon yet. The last time was not counted, it was a mess.

So he turned the key and started the car.

As soon as the challenger drove out of the town, Dahlia became restless. She looked at Ethan who was driving seriously, twisted her body a few times, and lowered her head.

Ethan gasped, and the steering wheel shook.

Dahlia patted his arm dissatisfied, and moved her mouth away, "Drive carefully, don't dangle around, it's not safe."

Ethan nodded quickly, calmed down, and drove seriously.

Dahlia lowered her head in satisfaction, and kept bouncing up and down with the vibration of the vehicle.

Accompanied by the Beatles' British rock, the 1970 Dodge Challenger broke through the night wind and drove briskly towards the Chino Moon.

In the parking lot of Chino Moon, Dahlia swallowed mineral water, wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue, and walked towards the entrance of the casino with her arm around Ethan.

The doorman still had an impression of Ethan, so he hurried forward to welcome them in.

Ethan exchanged 50 dollars for Le's chips, intending to see it and finish the job, but Dalia unceremoniously took out a few Franklins and exchanged a bunch of chips.

Now this time period is the peak period, and gamblers are shuttling back and forth in the brightly lit casino, some are in a daze, and some are smiling.

Ethan looked around curiously, and there were no clocks hanging in the casino.

This is done on purpose, so that people forget the concept of time and keep gambling.

In addition, it may be that the casino has been pumping oxygen into the room, or it may be the tension brought about by gambling. It can be seen that all the gamblers inside are in a state of high spirits.

After Dalia changed the chips, Ethan said that she would take a stroll first, so she let go of Ethan's hand and walked to the familiar place.

Ethan tapped the chips in his hand and walked around the Chino Moon before coming to a row of slot machines.

Putting chips into the coin slot according to the instructions on the machine, he pulled the handle.

As the handle was pulled, the pattern on the screen of the slot machine was constantly flipping. After a burst of tinkling music, the corners of Ethan's eyes twitched, and he picked up the chips and put them into the coin slot again.

Ten minutes later, Ethan stood up and swore in his heart that he would be a dog any more.

As soon as he left his seat, two old ladies ran over like a [-]-meter sprint. One of the old ladies in black took the lead and quickly sat on the stool, reaching out to press the coin slot.

She looked at Ethan with a sneer on her face, and then provoked another old lady in yellow with her eyes, Ethan quickly reacted.

Damn, this is using yourself as a guiding light!
He simply stopped in his tracks, wanting to see how the guiding effect of his lamp was.

The old lady in black waited for the old lady in yellow to leave, and she didn't care about Ethan who was standing next to her. She clasped her hands together and muttered something.

Ethan listened attentively, and the old lady in black was constantly chanting:
"Winner Winner Chicken Dinner."

"Winner Winner Chicken Dinner."

After she finished the mysterious prayer ceremony, she solemnly took out the chips and put them into the coin slot.

Ethan was overwhelmed by this series of rituals, and watched the old lady in black keep pulling the handle, pulling the handle, and pulling the handle seriously.

Feeling that the aura around him was getting colder and colder, and the face of the old lady in black was getting darker, Ethan turned and left silently.

Dahlia was found in another corner. She was playing blackjack with great interest. Ethan sat down next to her. Unexpectedly, Dahlia's luck was pretty good, and the chips seemed to be much higher.

After bored watching for a while, bursts of joyful exclamations came from not far away.

Beside a dice table, a circle of people surrounded him. Seeing the commotion, he quickly got up and walked over.

Not far from the dice table, Ethan stopped, his eyes flickering.

Leonard stood vigorously in front of the dice table. He was wearing a white suit, his hair was shiny and tied up in a ponytail, the front buttons of the suit were tightly stretched, and he was holding a coquettishly dressed girl in his arms. .

This is the old hen flying into the sky and turning into a phoenix. With a thick pile of chips in Leonard's hand, it seems that the time is going smoothly.

Ethan found a chair at a distance and sat down against the wall. After taking out his mobile phone and sending a text message, he lit his cigarette.

Before the cigarette was finished, Leonard's anger plummeted, the chips in his hand dwindled rapidly, and he quarreled with his female partner with an ugly face.

Footsteps sounded, and Hood sat down beside him.

"Your friend is a bit interesting, seems like a trouble?" Ethan stubbed out his cigarette.
