The Daily Life of the Great Demon King

Entering the door is a deep and narrow corridor. Although there is a light on the top of the head, the light is inexplicably dark, and there is a decadent breath in the air, which makes people involuntarily think of a dying person.

"Xiao Wu, what the **** are you doing?"

"This is just an ordinary nursing home? Why did you bring us here?"

"Say "death gambling", it's mysterious, what can I bet on here? Are those old guys in it?" It was the bald fat man who smelled of nouveau riche, with an angry face and disdain.

His last sentence was originally just a joke. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu, who was walking ahead, nodded, "Congratulations, Brother Wang, you guessed it. It's just a bet on the life or death of the elderly in the nursing home."

Hearing what he said, the others were somewhat surprised.

"What's the meaning?"

"How to bet on life and death?"

"Your kid is fat, so we are playing fun, right?"

Xiao Wu temporarily stopped and turned around to face everyone, "Boss, stay calm! Stay calm! Please listen to me! Our gambling game is called the "death gambling game" because it is a gambling on life and death. Yes, bet the old man living in this nursing home, when will he die..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. It was the bald fat man again, "This bet, who knows when those old guys die? In case they drag on for a year or a half, I will have money Are you stuck inside? Are you stupid? If you have this idle time, just throw it in the bank and do something casually?"

The Fatty Bald King spoke really ugly, an old thing on the left, an old thing on the right, without the slightest awe.

And the people who were with him, although they didn't say it, they also showed the same meaning.

These gamblers, ordinary gambling can no longer satisfy them, and they have begun to pursue more exciting content. When I heard about the gambling, although I was a little surprised, it was only a moment. After that, I easily accepted this gambling, but because it seems that the gambling is not good for them, I am not satisfied.

The eyes of the group of people fell on Xiao Wu, waiting for him to give a satisfactory explanation, but if they are not satisfied...

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Xiao Wu didn’t panic at all, “I’m not going to cheat everyone, don’t I! That’s the case, the elderly living in this nursing home are basically dying. After being evaluated by professionals, it can be used to open bets. The "good" I will take you to see right away is a patient with advanced gastric cancer. The doctor evaluated it almost a month ago..."

Xiao Wu explained a lot in one breath. The mood in the eyes of a group of people headed by the bald King Fatty also changed a little. From the beginning, they thought they were angry after being played, and gradually they became more interested in things, until the end. , Their eyes can almost be called excitement.

"How to bet on this?" The Fatty Bald King asked, his tone of excitement unabashedly.

Others also blended.

"You said that we are lucky, right? You said that the waiting period becomes shorter and the possibility of winning becomes greater. What's the matter?"

"Yes, talk about it!"

Xiao Wu nodded and continued to explain, "Yes, Brother Qian, you remember correctly, this bet will be revealed in less than a week. If you want to participate, you will have a great chance of winning, because The rule of the "death bet" is to bet whether the "goods" used to open the market can last for a month. If the "goods" die within a month, the dealer will kill it. If it persists for a month, with the persistence time The longer you get, the greater the rewards you will get, twice, three times and four times...there is no ceiling!"

Fatty Bald King’s eyes were dark and unclear. His eyes were squeezed by the fat on his face. They were small. They narrowed slightly, and there was only a gap left. He stared at Xiao Wu for a few seconds before asking. "This gambling method is a bit unfair, isn't it? What if someone should have died, but if you get some medicine and get a needle to go through it, it just passed the one-month deadline, won't our money be lost?"

Gamblers, gamblers, don't care what kind of gambling they are playing. The same thing is a heart that wants to win, get rich for nothing, and get rich overnight.

Xiao Wu smiled, "Brother Wang, Brother Qian, in this regard, you can rest assured, starting from the opening bet, all "goods", except for normal food and drink, are not allowed to be rescued regardless of any emergency. , The fairness of the gambling game is guaranteed!"

This group of people, while talking, slowly walked through the narrow corridor towards the depths. Turned a corner, followed the stairs to the third floor, and stopped in front of a room at the end of the corridor on the right hand side.

"Here." Xiao Wu said.

A wooden door seems to separate two worlds.

‘Squeak’ made a soft sound, as if the dying person groaned unwillingly and painfully.

The door opened slowly.

A more decayed aura came over his face than was in the corridor.

However, at this moment, these people outside the door are not only not afraid of this kind of breath, but like hyena vultures smelling the breath of death, excitedly peeping and waiting.

...

Not long after Yuheng and the others finished their meal, the civilized children came again and brought gifts—a large watermelon picked from their own melon field and brought it to Tiantian.

He came here to bring Tiantian to play, but Jin Tian suddenly asked him about the morning.

"Civilization, what you said before, what's the matter with the sanatorium in the mountain? Is it in that direction?" Jin Tian said, pointing to the direction Yuheng mentioned before.

Civilization froze for a moment, "How do you know, sister?"

This is admitted.

Sure enough, there is a problem. Jin Tian thought to himself, beckoning Wenming to go with her to the living room, pointing to the chair to let him sit down, and then continuing to ask, "Tell us about the nursing home and the situation of the grandma who was sent in."

Wenming didn't reply immediately, but got up cautiously, stood at the door and looked around, as if to confirm whether there was anyone, then returned to the house and spoke in a low voice.

"The sanatorium was built at the beginning of last year. The village didn't seem to pay any money, saying that it was donated by well-meaning people. Since the sanatorium was built, not only our village, but also the nearby villages, almost all elderly people in poor health were sent away. Go inside. In May of this year, my grandmother was also sent in. I remembered seeing her, but my dad wouldn't let me... At that time, my dad was very strange and scared... Later... …Later, my grandma died. Before she died, I dreamed that she was crying sadly, calling her grandpa’s name, saying it was painful, and then scolding dad..."

After all, civilization is still too small. Many words are not clear and can't grasp the key points. The only thing that is certain is that there is a problem with the nursing home.

"Can you take us to see it?" Jin Tian asked.

Civilization hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay. But there is only one road leading to the nursing home. We have to go quietly over the mountain to prevent them from finding it."

"Row."

After it was settled, Yuheng and the others followed Wenming out, through the village to the mountain. During the period, I met people in the village, as if inadvertently, they casually asked where Civilization would take Yuheng to take them, but the line of sight fell on Jin Tian, ​​with a sense of scrutiny. It was one of the few people Jin Tian met while wandering around the lake.

Jin Tian had even more suspicion in his heart, but did not show it, and quickly turned to talk to Jiang Qingtian next to him.

Civilization is also very clever, and said with a smile, "Take guests to the mountains to pick wild grapes or something."

"Well, you kid can be more careful!" The man exhorted and left.

But in fact, he hadn't walked much. He stood under one roof while talking with other people, but his eyes always fell on Yuheng and his group. He didn't really leave until he saw them entering the mountain.

...

Xiaolongshan Sanatorium, Room 304.

Xiao Wu took the bald Wang Fatty and the others into the house.

A hospital bed and an ECG monitor beside the bed are almost everything in this room. The bright sunshine came in from the window, and the room was bright, but it seemed that no matter what, the cold in this room could not be dispelled.

Xiao Wu introduced, "This is the "goods" of this gambling game. The reports are in the bedside table. You can read the reports and you can talk to her, but you can't touch her. The room is equipped with surveillance cameras. In order to protect the interests of everyone, to prevent anyone from sneaking in."

Lying on the bed was an old grandmother with white hair. She originally closed her eyes. Maybe she was asleep, or she just closed her eyes to rest. Hearing the sound, she slowly opened her eyes.

It was a pair of muddy eyes, with no mood swings like stagnant water, and seemed to contain endless loneliness and despair.

She opened her eyes, looked at another group of'guests' in the house, and then slowly closed them.

But my ears were filled with the unshirkable communication of ‘guests’.

"This doesn't look great..."

"I don't think it can last a few days..."

"But didn't Xiao Wu say that she's been like this for almost a month? And these reports, who of you can understand? Or is there anyone in your family who knows how to do it, just ask?"

"Anyway, there are still a few days before the deadline. Let's wait and see..."

Soon, the pain caused by the disease struck again, and the old man no longer cared about those conversations, and all the voices gradually faded away, leaving only unbearable pain, entanglement, as if there was no end to it.

Her face was distorted with pain, her body was trembling, and she curled up slightly, but because of her excessive weakness, she couldn't even roll.

The ‘guests’ seemed to come around, the kind of merchandise-like, with a scrutinizing gaze, even if you can’t see it, you can still feel it, further catalyzing the pain.

She began to moan in pain, exhausted all her strength, but in fact it sounded like a hum, and she might not be able to hear it even a little far away.

...

Fatty Bald Wang and the others watched for ten minutes, all around the hospital bed, observing the elderly who had the disease. They hadn't seen her pain, their eyes were calm and indifferent, trying to see something from her face.

But in the end they failed to pay attention.

"Boss, the day after the betting is due, there is still time, everyone can consider it slowly, don't worry." Xiao Wu smiled and comforted, "This'good' has already been seen, and I will take you to see others. , Although it hasn't opened yet, you can't go wrong if you understand it first."

After speaking, the group left the room.

With a soft sound, the door closed gently.
