I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 162 Gambling Guile (asking for monthly ticket)

The sound of dice shaking was heard again. Li Yuan, with tears in his eyes, looked at Wei Wu tremblingly, still unable to control his body and leave the gambling table.

At his feet was Ding Yuan's body, with his smiling face with sunken facial bones facing Li Yuan.

He must have lost something in the game he just lost, but he doesn't know it yet. This fear of the unknown is more difficult to bear than dying directly.

Not far away, Wei Wu quickly thought of a countermeasure and looked at Xue Er and Ma Zi, "Did you bring a scapegoat?"

Although they were reluctant, they nodded.

In the Evil Suppression Bureau, as long as the merit points are sufficient, everyone will give priority to exchanging for a scapegoat, as this is a life-saving item.

Wei Wu called the two aside and analyzed the current situation in a low voice, "Now the entire gambling house is under the control of this 'gambler ghost'. I'm afraid we must follow the gambler ghost's rules and win the bet to leave the gambling house."

"People who are not at the table cannot interfere with those at the table. No matter what they do, they will be blown away by the rules of the gambler. Therefore, if you want to take action against the gambler, you must participate in it."

Xue Er swallowed and glanced at the pockmarked man next to him.

Wei Wu knew that neither of them wanted to go, so he took out a red cloth bag from his sleeve. When he opened it, there was a bright red, fleshy nail inside.

"Don't worry, I won't joke with your lives, Ma Zi. Later, you can take this nail to the table and bet with the white servant, one on big and the other on small. As long as the leopard doesn't win all, one of you will definitely win. You also have a scapegoat, so nothing will happen."

"Choose the right time to throw this nail. It will make you lose your nail after using it, but it won't kill you. As long as we can restrain that gambler for a few seconds, Xue Er and I will have a chance to imprison him."

Hearing this, Xue Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Ma Zi, "Don't worry, I will try my best."

Ma Zi sneered in his heart. The person sitting at the table was not Xue Er, so what was the point of speaking nicely?

But what Wei Wu said was not wrong. With one betting big and the other betting small, the chances of winning are great. Even if he loses, he has a scapegoat to help him.

Evil ghosts rarely appear in Wangshan City, so this is already a major case. They can't leave at the moment, so they can only fight once.

If he could solve this case, he would get a lot of merit points, and it would also help him get promoted to Gold Tour in the future.

And I heard that Shengjing has found a way for ordinary people to safely control evil spirits and become ghost walkers, but only Jinyou is eligible to apply.

If you do more meritorious deeds, you will always be able to get ranked higher. When you become a ghost walker, you won’t have to feel so depressed.

Many thoughts flashed through Ma Zi's mind, and finally he nodded and took the nails that Wei Wu handed over.

He pulled out a dagger, cut off a lock of his hair, cut his fingertips, and took out a straw doll wrapped in red cloth and tied with a red string from his lapel.

Wrap it with his hair and smear the blood on it, and the preparations for the dead straw man are complete.

Ma Zi clenched his nails, took a deep breath and walked towards the gambling table.

Arriving at the table, Ma Zi immediately felt a chill, with a foul smell filling the air. His body became stiff, corroded by an invisible force, and he felt as if he was slowly dying.

Ma Zi frowned and said to Li Yuan, "You bet on big, I bet on small."

When Li Yuan saw the scapegoat sticking out from Ma Zi's collar, his eyes turned bloodshot and filled with tears. He felt a surge of anger in his heart, but in the end he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Li Yuan's palm pressed on the big characters, and Ma Zi pressed on the small characters.

A ghost hand in the dark grabbed the dice cup and opened it. Ma Zi was sweating with nervousness, but before he could activate his nails, the hand disappeared in a flash.

Three, five, six, fourteen points big.

Li Yuan's face was covered in sweat and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Zi's whole body tensed up and he felt a chill running through his body. He immediately took out the scapegoat and opened his eyes in surprise.

He lost, but the scapegoat was intact, just like Li Yuan's previous situation.

Dante Yuan clearly lost once and the gambler broke his neck.

What is the difference between him, Li Yuan and Ding Yuan?
Ma Zi thought carefully and suddenly opened his eyes as if he had been electrocuted.

He and Li Yuan had families, but Ding Yuan had no parents or brothers. He was the only one in his family. So when they lost, it wasn't themselves who died, but their families? Just like those gamblers, when they lost desperately, they would even sell their wives and daughters just for a chance to turn the tables.

Ma Zi felt cold all over, and an uncontrollable panic crept into his heart, making him tremble all over. His wife had just given birth to a son for him, and his parents had always been in good health. He couldn't lose any of them!

"I don't want to gamble anymore. I have to go back. I have to go back right away!"

Ma Zi panicked and began to struggle violently, wanting to go home immediately to see who had the accident at home.
Wei Wu and Xue Er were watching from the side, and at this moment they suddenly thought of the price of losing. Xue Er swallowed and took a step back, as he also had a family.

Only Wei Wu remained as steady as a rock, without any sign of panic. He just stared at Li Yuan and said loudly, "Li Yuan, you won a round. Let the gambler open the gambling house and let us out."

The dice on the table did not make any sound. Li Yuan was drenched in sweat. He nodded hurriedly and was about to speak when two things suddenly appeared on the table.

A red hairband and a ten-liang gold ingot.

Seeing the red rope, Li Yuan opened his eyes in surprise and immediately looked at his wrist.

Sure enough, the red hairband that was originally tied around his wrist disappeared at some point. It was tied for him by his six-year-old daughter when he went out.

"Dad, you have to come back from work early and remember to buy some shortbread. It's mom who wants to eat it, not me~"

His daughter's voice was still echoing in his ears, and Li Yuan suddenly realized that what he lost in that game was his young daughter's life!

Li Yuan almost collapsed and cried. Now that he had won a game, could he win back his little girl's life by choosing the red rope?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan grabbed the red rope without hesitation.

"Li Yuan!"

Wei Wu shouted loudly, and the pockmarked man next to Li Yuan was quick-witted and used his only movable arm to grab Li Yuan's hand that was reaching for the red rope.

"Are you crazy? If we miss this opportunity, none of us will be able to get out!"

Ma Ziqiang pulled Li Yuan's hand towards the gold ingot.

Li Yuan burst into tears, "Let me go, I want to save my young mother, let me go!"

Ma Zi's neck veins bulged, and he forcefully pressed Li Yuan's hand toward the gold. "Aren't you afraid that the gambling game will continue after you take the red rope? Who are you going to lose next time? You can only survive if you take the money and leave the table. I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Take my life, and let my young mother go, let my young mother go!"

As a silver miner, Ma Zi was much stronger than Li Yuan. He begged and struggled with tears in his eyes, but Ma Zi still pressed his hands forcefully on the gold.

Li Yuan watched the red rope disappear. He missed the chance to win back You Niang's life. Then he relaxed all over. The oppressive force on his body disappeared. He staggered back two steps from the table, and fell to the ground with his legs going soft.

squeak - ah -

The sound of the gambling house door opening came from the darkness, and Wei Wu and Xue Er turned around in surprise.

Ma Zi tried to leave the gambling table, but his body was still unable to move. Ma Zi panicked and asked Wei Wu for help, "Master Wei, help me, I can't gamble anymore, find a way!"

Wei Wu looked at the door and then at Ma Zi. The rules of this gambling trick were quite powerful. He was not a ghost-walking person, and his chances of successfully detaining the gambler were slim with just the ghost items on his body. For such things, they usually only did preliminary investigations and directly pushed the blame to Ye You when taking the final action.

After all, dealing with evil spirits above the fourth level is the responsibility of the night patrol, and there is no need for them to take the risk during the day patrol.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu suddenly said to Xue Er, "Take Li Yuan with you, retreat first and then think of a solution."

Xue Er did not hesitate at all. He went over and pulled up the distraught Li Yuan, then turned around and left behind Wei Wu.

Ma Zi looked in disbelief at the two people who had just said they would do their best to help him. Looking at the captain and teammates who had been through life and death with him every day, his blood started to run colder.

boom!
The three men disappeared at the door, which was then ruthlessly closed. The entire gambling house was filled with darkness and eerily quiet.

Then, the sound of dice shaking was heard again.

Each time, Ma Zi trembled all over and was terrified to the extreme.

"I won't gamble anymore. I won't gamble anymore!!"
