It's time, it's time to switch to the cranial doctor

"Then why do you think they are debt collectors?" Zhou Zhuo asked again.

The gambler's expression became confused, unable to answer.

"How much do you owe, who did you borrow from, where did you sign the contract, how much is the interest, do you have any collateral?"

A series of questions almost drove the gambler to a corner. His expression showed obvious pain, and the skin on his body began to turn black, exuding a strange smell.

Zhou Zhuo has a bad heart, a gambler can die anywhere, but he can't die in front of him, otherwise he won't be able to tell when he plays the game, and he will immediately give you a punch of reason.

After the bang, the gambler came back to his senses, his eyes became much clearer: "What happened to me just now?"

"It's nothing. I'm afraid this deck is not a place for you to stay. Let's go in."

Zhou Zhuo was vague, obviously concealing something very important, but since the dungeon of the Inn of Despair, the gambler has unreserved trust in him, so he nodded and followed without saying anything.

The three of them finally lifted the black cloth and entered the cabin. What appeared in front of them was a luxurious hall with three floors and a glass dome above their heads, from which they could see the clear night sky.

The hall is filled with all kinds of gambling equipment, and there are some tables of different sizes with unknown meanings. In the center is a large gambling table, which seems to be a custom-made item prepared for the competition.

A large screen was hung on the wall near the two-way spiral staircase, and the scene in the hall was being shown on the screen, but Zhou Zhuo could not find where the camera was for the time being.

At this time, a VIP room on the side of the hall suddenly opened the door, and a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples walked out quickly. He was well dressed, and elites were written all over his body, including his eyes and demeanor.

He walked quickly to the gambling table in the center, made an invitation gesture, skipped all the polite words, and directly introduced himself: "Fred von Methuselah."

Light brown wavy hair, wide face, high nose bridge and thin lips, slightly green pupils, looks like a Germanic race, and the "Feng" in the name also proves that he has heels.

There are only two chairs at this gambling table, that is to say, only Zhou Zhuo, who is a player, can take a seat. Chinese.

Zhou Zhuo just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by this middle-aged man named Fred waving his hand.

"I don't think you came here to chat with me, an old man. I have no interest in your name. As a game without referees, I need to let you know some basic information."

"The name of this ship is Purgatory, and it belongs to Methuselah Cruises, which is also my family business. It sells indulgences as a business. I used to be its No.13 owner, and now I am its owner. prisoner."

Catholicism believes that people should go to heaven after death. If there are sins that have not been repaid, the soul needs to be washed in the cleansing house before they can go to heaven. Fred’s words contain extremely rich meanings, which also made Zhou Zhuo Start to think about it.

"Indulgence note..." Zhou Zhuo said, he didn't intend to be completely suppressed by his opponent from the beginning of temperament, "Is it the kind of waste paper I imagined?"

"Waste paper? No, our company does not provide that kind of meaningless spiritual comfort. We only provide help for unforgivable sinners. See the casino here? The cleansing house does not provide any other than casinos, restaurants, and lodgings. Serve."

"All tourists who have purchased boarding tickets will have a life-and-death duel here. We call it a 'gambling game of ghosts and gods'. Every time they go to sea, it means a game of gambling. As the host, I will decide this The theme and gameplay of the casino game, all players need to follow our rules, and the last group of people who survive will get the indulgence."

It may have become instinctive for Fred to introduce himself like a real host, but now he is just a prisoner, or a player involved.

"Is there any benefit for those who get the indulgence note?" Zhou Zhuo asked again, "It's just a note, what sins can be washed away?"

"Of course it is to cleanse all sins." Fred showed a confident smile that belonged to the king, as if he had returned to the moment that ruled everything, "The person who holds the indulgence can mobilize all the power of the Methuselah family to cleanse him sin."

"If he breaks the law, then we will provide him with the most perfect asylum, dispose of all favorable evidence, and let him be acquitted; if he harbors resentment, then we will clean up his enemies and all related personnel; if he Eager to regain a new life, we will use rejuvenating drugs for him, arrange a new identity and environment for him, and ensure that there will be no more bumps in his life..."

Fred opened his arms, his voice gradually high-pitched.

"This is how the customer who holds the indulgence will become the supreme guest of the family until all his sins are cleared and he returns to his purest state."

"It doesn't sound like redemption, but rather a cover-up. Sins will not be eliminated by the power of money, but will accumulate and become more serious." Zhou Zhuo said casually.

"What's the reason?"

"Because what the loser says is wrong, you are not the master, nor the spokesperson of the master, you are just a self-righteous pawn, and now you are reduced to a prisoner, as a player, you will not be superior to others, forgive others' sins ? Let’s face up to ourselves first.”

Zhou Zhuo put the backpack and the skull hammer on the table.

"The nonsense time is over, so can the game start? Mr. Host."

"Yes." Fred nodded, his calm expression was not shaken by Zhou Zhuo's denial.

For someone like him, failure is not an unacceptable thing, admitting defeat is the most terrible thing.

"Because of my personal preference, I'm not interested in those gamblers' games. Of course, this does not mean that I don't know anything about poker or gambling machines. The Methuselah family started from the casino. My suggestion is Put aside those boring cheat games and play something interesting."

"for example?"

"Like betting on a person's life or death."

Fred snapped his fingers, and the screen in the center of the hall immediately switched to a shot of a separate room, a colosseum-like room with a man and a lion in a cage.

"The betting time is 1 minute. You need to choose whether this person lives or dies within 60 seconds. Please take out your bet."

"Oh, I choose students." Zhou Zhuo nodded, expressionless, and put his right hand on the table, "It's a hand, it's your call."

Because the person on the screen is running fast.

Fred suddenly changed his face.

There is 1w4 updated today, right?I'm working so hard, it's the end of the month, everyone, give away the blades and monthly tickets that the system gives away, don't forget!

Chapter 103 Unreasonable hands in the casino

Fred didn't mention the chips, of course not because he forgot, but because he wanted to show his current situation through this incident——

Even in trouble, he is still the heir of the Methuselah family, with an unprecedentedly huge bargaining chip. Even if the other party puts out tens of millions of funds, he can still call the bet without changing his face. It is nothing if he loses. Said it was just a number.

As the controller who runs a casino, he has of course seen people who are jealous of gambling. Houses, cars, and even wives and children are pushed up. It is commonplace to bet on fingers and arms, and some even gamble with organs and lives.

As a gambler, when a person comes to an end, there is nothing he can't give up, and he won't be surprised when he's used to it. On the contrary, he will feel regretful if there is no blood in a heavy gamble that bets his life.

But this is definitely not the reason to get started in the first place. You didn't bring a penny to the casino, and you directly gambled on a bright future with human organs?

This inexplicable move made Fred a little confused. Fortunately, this bet was only used as an example, and it did not really start the ghost game between the two sides.

He waved his hand calmly: "Don't rush to bet, keep your 'hands', this game is just to tell you the type of game tonight. It's a matter of betting your life sooner or later, but before that, we first Betting on other people's lives, I suggest you change some suitable chips."

"I think the hand is a very suitable chip. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle other things. Or is it that the dignified Methuselah family has been so embarrassed that they only support cash betting? The so-called 'ghost game' is actually just a nice name. One point, in fact, there are a few gamblers around the gaming table throwing banknotes in their asses? The local casinos are very dishonest."

Zhou Zhuo also had a calm expression, apparently he had already thought up a countermeasure, wasn't it just pretending to be aggressive?Who hasn't learned this stuff after watching too many movies?

A moment of anger flashed across Fred's face due to some unceremonious heavy words, but he quickly returned to his calm and superior demeanor.

"Of course we accept the bets in this regard. In fact, it will be a matter of time before it develops to this point. No one can leave this table intact. But before that, should you consider choosing some appropriate bets? At least start with some substance of definite value."

The previous conversation between the two seemed to be just trying to show their strength, but in fact Zhou Zhuo was also testing the right to speak of Fred, the host.

The results obtained are obvious. The other party does have a profound background and heritage, and the gambling money in his pocket is beyond imagination.

Identity, status, and property are the right to speak on the gambling table, and any advantage will tilt the balance of victory. In terms of property, Zhou Zhuo obviously has a huge disadvantage, so he has to make up for it from the first two.

Through the test, Zhou Zhuo discovered an extremely important piece of information. The identity of Fred's so-called "host" is hugely different from the host in the previous game, and Fred also revealed that he is a prisoner of this cruise ship. The same player as Zhou Zhuo.

This also means that Fred himself is also a part of the game, he cannot control the game, and his only advantage is his rich experience.

And this gamble was lurking behind the scenes, probably in the VIP room that Fred had just left.It is not difficult to imagine that Fred is also a player who urgently needs "real" chips, so Zhou Zhuo, who cannot produce an advantage in terms of numbers, must find a way to disgust him in terms of chip types.

"Then press this. This is not cut from my body. In theory, it is already an item of specific value. If you want to exchange it for the corresponding chips, or directly pledge the item, I can do it."

So Zhou Zhuo took out the sustenance from his backpack and slapped his severed finger on the table. This table seemed to have special rules. When the seemingly ordinary forensic collections fell on it, a substantive change occurred quickly, and a faint black air Emanating from it, lingering around.

It's not that Zhou Zhuo deliberately tried to pretend. He really has nothing to bet on. The potion is worthless, and he is not willing to part with it. Currently, the only item in his body that is not very practical is dispensable. It's a severed finger.

"Gambles that involve life and death should be something decent, right? Otherwise, I'm sorry for this solemn occasion. I think the real ghosts and gods are like this."

Although the game held by the Methuselah family is called a casino of ghosts and gods, Fred never thought that it would become a real gambling game of "ghosts and gods". caught in hesitation.

This made Zhou Zhuo find an opportunity to turn his back on customers.

"And you don't seem to have mentioned the cost of not calling?"

His game strategy is very simple. The winning method of gambling is nothing more than three points. One is to try luck, the other is to rely on thousands of dollars, and the third is to use people's psychology to induce step by step and set up a trap for winning.

Zhou Zhuo doesn’t count on the first two, but he knows a little bit about the third point, and he is definitely not proficient. What he has to do is to use high-frequency unreasonable hands to break the game set by the casino veteran on the opposite side, not to gain the upper hand , at least ensure that the opponent cannot control the field perfectly, and try to keep both sides on the same starting line.

"Understood, then I'll put on the same bet."

Fred still showed his composure and clapped his hands. Then someone appeared from a dark passage in the distance, and pushed a small cart similar to a dining car into the venue. It turned out to be an old friend again. The death trial host butler.

Previously, Zhou Zhuo was still thinking, if the hosts of all games hold tarot cards, can it be conversely deduced that the person holding tarot cards can become the game host, so he was very curious about losing the tarot card. What kind of situation the host of the card will be reduced to, I didn't expect to see it now.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The butler smiled at Zhou Zhuo and nodded, as if we had met each other. He turned on the switch on the side of the cart and lifted the lid. Inside was a cold space filled with hundreds of human beings. Limbs, mostly fingers and eyes.

"Then I will also call, one finger. Those who can keep their fingers here will have no less resentment and regret than anyone else, and our chips are equivalent."

Fred regained his commanding composure, took a white man's finger from it, and laid it on the table.

"Then let's talk about the most basic rules. As you said just now, there is no limit to the chips in the game of ghosts and gods. As long as you are willing to accept a sufficient price, even souls can be placed on the table for trading."

"In addition, there is no bottom bet or blind bet in the game. The winner can get the proposition right of the next bet, and abstention is regarded as an automatic surrender. The loser of the previous game will bet first, and the bet will continue until one party loses nothing. There is a disagreement that is difficult to decide on the chips, so is it a problem for Mr. Steward representing the cruise ship to decide?"

"It's just what I want." Zhou Zhuo snapped his fingers, "Let's get started."

Although he was humiliated by running quickly in the dungeon he led, he was still a professional player, and Zhou Zhuo didn't believe that he couldn't even deal with a lion.

……

Running fast is stupid, he heard that there was a problem with Zhou Zhuo before he boarded the gangway, and he was determined after learning about the chips.

In order to write a report, he used to pretend to be a gambler and sneak into a famous underground casino. He played there for two full months, eating, drinking and having fun with public funds, and learned a lot of tricks. He is very confident in himself.

As a result, he boarded the deck blindfolded and lost his sense of direction in an instant. When he came back to his senses, he found himself in an empty room with a caged lion in front of him. It didn't look like it had been tamed.

There is also a large screen next to it. You can see the scene in the central hall, but you can't hear the sound. At this time, the smart people have realized what is going on in front of them.

He is not a gambler, nor is he a chip. It is a little worse than that. He is a gambling tool, which is equivalent to a deck of poker just opened.

Before he could run and think about the escape strategy, he heard a beep, and the door of the iron cage automatically popped open, and the lion in the cage slowly stood up, assuming that he was ready to hunt——

The lion seemed to know what to do when the cage was opened, perhaps not the first time he had experienced this kind of game.

Run Kuaikuai is not a reporter from the animal world, and he has never watched a documentary about survival in the wild. He doesn't know what to do when he encounters a lion in this scene. His instinct tells him that you have to run. Only after being caught up can there be room for change.

The sudden exposure of the back quietly determined the position between the two parties. The lion, as the hunter, launched an attack without hesitation, and caught up in two or three steps.

After all, it is a well-trained predator. The speed of the two sides is not at the same level. When the distance between the two sides is still one meter, they choose to fly over. Seeing that the sharp claws are about to touch the back, run fast and roll away .

While the lion was adjusting its posture on the ground, Pa Kuai quickly took out a small bamboo tube from his coat pocket and blew lightly on the lion. He plunged the dagger into the neck and ended his life.

Isn't this the sleep blow dart used before the kidney deficiency?Seeing this scene, Zhou Zhuo was determined. It seems that Bai Yexing Studio gave him a lot of life-saving props in order to let him run fast and safe solo this time, so the next bet will be all centered on him.

"It seems that you lost." Zhou Zhuo smiled and took two fingers from the table, "As the winner, can I freely give the title of the next game?"

"Yes, all achievable bets are fine, but they must be approved by the cruise ship. But don't forget, the loser will bet first. In the face of my obvious losing bet, I will reduce the weight of the bet. This is the casino Common means, you can do the same."

Fred nodded. After the butler arrived, he obviously restrained himself a lot.

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who breaks the rules, so may I ask, Mr. Steward, what is the range of questions I can choose?"

"The facilities in the entire cruise ship belong to the naming rights of the question maker. We will provide you with all the props you need, not only this lobby, but also all players who enter the cruise ship."

As he said that, the butler waved his hand in the air, and the camera in the hall screen quickly switched. Every player who had appeared on the bus was assigned to a different scene, which was obviously prepared for the ghost game between the two of them. ", but how to use it depends entirely on the ideas of the two people.

After Zhou Zhuo thought for a moment, he asked casually, "Can I bet on whether your heart rate is greater than 80?"

"Of course, at this moment, I am also part of the property of the cruise ship, and can be used as a proposition at will. If necessary, I will immediately go to get the measuring instrument."

The butler is like a real cruise ship staff. He knows everything and never gives customers any embarrassment, but he will not take sides.

This gamble that was completely out of control made Fred's face change. From the time the other party got on the boat, he probably guessed that this guy was completely different from ordinary gamblers, and he was probably not a good guy.

But I didn't expect him to play cards so unreasonably. When setting up a bet, he never considered whether he would definitely win. He did it all based on his temper. Could it be that he was so confident in his luck?

No one knows how much the housekeeper's heart rate is different from ordinary people, but Zhou Zhuo can be sure that Fred is already sweating, and micro-expressions cannot deceive people.

As the saying goes, the old master was beaten to death with random punches. The current situation is like a world gambling king competition. Here, Gao Jin has made all preparations, and even bribed the referee. The winner is sure, but the opposite side took out two guns , and said "I will compete with you in a pistol competition and bet on my life", how to solve it?

"Then it's up to me to decide to bet..."

Before Fred finished speaking, Zhou Zhuo suddenly laughed and waved his hands: "What's the hurry? I'm just giving an example. I'll bet on him in the next round. I guess his location should be a room similar to an arena. Right? It’s time to release a new opponent.”

"You are right, please wait a moment."

The butler nodded, and gestured to a place to update the scene there. Soon, a locked door at the edge of the venue was opened, and a burly man entered the venue silently.

He lowered his head and was not in a hurry to launch an attack, but Zhou Zhuo recognized at a glance that this was the bodyguard who died in the Despair Hotel last time. He did not expect him to appear in the game again, which also proved that the previous scarecrow One sentence: Is it true that some people think that death is liberation?

"The scene has been updated. If necessary, I can call up the opponent's specific information for you. Please set up your bet within 1 minute."

As the staff's butler opened his mouth, a 60-second countdown appeared on the screen.

Because the author of the question cannot bet first, the last bet has exposed a small part of the background of running fast. If there is another bet that decides life and death, Fred will be the first to bet on "life", so this time Zhou Zhuo To change tactics.

"The theme of this game is whether he can survive for 5 minutes." Zhou Zhuo said, "Please bet."

Fred was in trouble again.
