Ghost Shelter System

…

Hong Kong and Macao are a place where Eastern and Western cultures meet. I don’t know whether prosperous places are superstitious, or open places are superstitious. In short, some metaphysical culture is deeply rooted here.

Northeast of Taipa, a casino is located underneath the hotel.

I have never been to a formal casino before, so it is quite new everywhere. Most of the casinos here are together with hotels. There is a clear rule at the entrance that no one under 21 years old is allowed to enter. After the waiter saw Qin Kun's passport, he greeted him: "Inside." please."

At 9 o'clock in the evening, there are already many gamblers.

As soon as he entered the door and stepped on Rouran's carpet, Qin Kun's spirit suddenly shook.

What is the taste?

I sniffed it, and the smell in the air was very special and very comfortable.

This smell attracted Qin Kun's attention immediately, and he almost hit a passerby without paying attention.

"Um?"

Passers-by looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man with a big belly.

Qin Kun found that the other party was a little strange and apologized: "I'm sorry, it's my first time here. The smell here is quite special."

The uncle put away his expression and smiled: "Young man, relax. This is for oxygen."

Oxygen?

Qin Kun was startled. The uncle moved the chips in his hand and said in a very professional manner in not very standard Mandarin: "I don't know. In these places, the staff will regularly pump oxygen into the ventilation pipes to ensure that the oxygen content is within More than 30%, in this case, the guests will be very excited..."

Excitement sometimes evolves into superiority, so that’s it.

Qin Kun smiled: "Expert, uncle."

"Sprinkle water (little meaning)."

The uncle looked at Qin Kun and felt that this young man was extraordinary. He pondered for a moment and said: "Little brother, before I came here to gamble today, I asked someone to tell my fortune. The master said that I will meet a noble person. I just won some small money. , I was already preparing to leave but I didn’t realize who it was, young man, I think it’s probably you.”

I?

The sudden recognition of others made Qin Kun speechless: "Uncle, is it too sudden? I'm not ready yet."

The uncle waved his hand: "Hahahaha, little brother is very humorous. My surname is Chen, just call me Uncle Chen."

Uncle Chen is very familiar to him. Of course, this title makes Qin Kun feel that he is being taken advantage of, but these details are not important when they meet by chance.

Uncle Chen won some small money and was originally going to leave. Since the noble person in the hexagram is here, it doesn't hurt to play with him for a while.

"Is this your first time, little brother? What do you want to play?"

Uncle Chen's tone sounded like a shill, but Qin Kun didn't care. He was here to catch ghosts. Regardless of whether the other party was a shill or not, he just wanted to be familiar with this place.

"Uncle Chen is a regular customer?"

"Yes, come here and relax when you have nothing to do."

"Are you familiar with this place?"

"Just so so, not unfamiliar."

Qin Kun nodded: "I... am a writer, and I'm here to pick up stories."

Uncle Chen suddenly realized Qin Kun's fabricated identity.

"Then... let's take a look first?"

"good."

With Uncle Chen leading the way, the situation here suddenly became clear.

The two shuttled back and forth in the casino, with Uncle Chen making introductions from time to time.

"The second floor is the VIP room. Those who can serve the table are rich or noble. Most of the overseas bosses come to play. You may not be able to get in. But I have seen it inside. There is no clock, which makes people forget the concept of time. Sometimes all night It’s possible to go bankrupt or become rich overnight.”

"This is Baccarat. Baccarat has the largest number of gaming tables in the world and is very popular. I play it often."

"You can smell the fragrance that you just walked over. It was specially prepared by the perfumer. It will make people feel at ease after smelling it. So, this area is a big bet area. Going forward is no longer a small loss or a small win. They are all methods to sell gold caves.”

"Also, this is a roulette wheel. You must have seen it before, right? There is something in it. There are 37 numbers in total, and the odds are 35 to 1. The casino still has a slight advantage. Old gamblers play less, and new gamblers play the most. I like to try my luck here.”

After turning around, Uncle Chen found that Qin Kun had no interest in gambling and had been wondering if this was his noble person calculated by the master.

Suddenly, Qin Kun was found looking towards the stairs leading to the VIP hall on the second floor.

"Little brother, do you want to go up and take a look?"

Qin Kun did not express his position, but said meaningfully: "I see the decoration here is quite interesting. Is it a Feng Shui bureau?"

Uncle Chen smiled: "Ha, little brother knows a lot. Indeed, this pattern is called 'Flying Dragon in the Sky'. The stairs go straight to the second floor. It is also called the dragon raising its head and hitting the sky gate. It means that those who can go to the VIP hall on the second floor , either rich or noble."

Qin Kun smiled and shook his head: "This is not a flying dragon in the sky, this is the 'Dragon Cutting Bureau', commonly known as the 'Golden Dragon's Blood'. This staircase is indeed dragon-like, but the crystal lamp hanging above the head is extremely sharp. .”

Qin Kun concluded that the lamp was not made of glass. Looking around, the fountain was not boiling, the cold water was flowing clear, and the pebbles on the small artificial beach next to the stairs had turned white, which represented the dragon trapped in the shallows.

There is a saying that people are responsible for the wind but only the water is responsible for the wealth. There is so little water here, it is not a place to make a fortune.

That's not right. If the casino sets up the game like this, where will its money come from?

Suddenly the eye of the sky looked down and he used the barrier-breaking technique. Qin Kun discovered that behind the casino was the swimming pool of the hotel. This was interesting. The fat water that was not leaking out was originally located here!

Uncle Chen was still thinking about Qin Kun's words when he suddenly noticed that Qin Kun turned his head. Above where he entered the door, a dragon head sculpture opened upward with a majestic momentum.

Uncle Chen whispered: "Little brother, this is the golden dragon raising its head, swallowing gold and grabbing silver."

Qin Kun sneered: "No, the dragon's mouth is upward, and it will be injured even if it doesn't die. Because only an angry dragon can look up to the sky and roar. The evil spirit of this game is not small. The distinguished guests on the second floor will not be left alive at all. The gamblers on the first floor will also be killed. He swallowed up most of his wealth."

Uncle Chen was startled when he saw Qin Kun stop under the dragon's head and quickly followed him.

Qin Kun suddenly stopped and turned around. In front of him was the first gambling table in the casino.

Qin Kun stared at the croupier and murmured to himself: "In a place with such evil spirits, this croupier seems to be doing well. Uncle Chen, do the croupiers of this gaming table change often?"

Uncle Chen shook his head when he heard this: "That's Ah Wei, one of the most powerful dealers in the casino. Several large casinos tried to poach him but failed. He has always been sitting at table number one."

Qin Kun smiled and said, "Go over and play a few games."

Uncle Chen shook his head like a rattle. Only stranger gamblers would go to table No. 1, and regular players would never get into Ah Wei's bad luck.

"He's very powerful."

"It's okay. If I lose, it's mine."

Qin Kun called the waiter, exchanged 100,000 chips and handed them to Uncle Chen.

…

Ah Wei is thirty-three years old and has been coming to the casino for many years.

I had been hiding for several years because of a crime, but later I was spotted by the boss here and recruited him.

Ah Wei didn't know what his talent was, and he had never been a dealer, but after his boss gave him a good salary, nothing mattered anymore.

Ah Wei has been sitting at the No. 1 gambling table for three years. His gambling skills are not bad, but the croupier only needs to deal the cards. He will never do the cards, but even so, he has made a lot of money for the casino. When it comes to money, many gamblers who play banker or bet on the outside at table No. 1 will win first and then lose, which makes Ah Wei also start to wonder, is it possible that he really has gambling luck?

Today, as always, the boring work of dealing cards began.
