Time always flies by without noticing, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye, during which Sean did not go to Count Thornbird, nor did he return home, only hearing that the deputy director of the Southern District seemed to be resting at home because of some things.

Black Rose Antique Shop

Sean sat at the bar with Hull and Hank, bored and playing cards, nothing happened during the week, he didn't receive orders to deal with the troops, and he didn't see the captain and others appear.

The most I do every day is to play cards with the three people left behind, as for why Miss Eve didn't join today?

It was because Hull was preparing to take the third-rank potion to complete his promotion, and Miss Eve was mixing potions for him.

But then again, don't you have to check it out?

Sean looked up at Hull, who was playing poker with a calm face, and couldn't help but think that the most important thing was that he was quite curious about the potion recipe of the 'Dream Weaver'.

Da, da

"It's your turn. Hull skimmed Shaun, who was in a daze, tapped lightly on the table and reminded him.

Sean, who came back to his senses, immediately turned his attention to the game, and at the moment they were playing Blackjack, also commonly known as blackjack.

The game is simple, each person is dealt two cards at first, one bright and one dark, you can ask for up to three more cards, a total of five points add up to 21 points, the bigger the bigger, and more than 21 points belong to the bust.

Now it's Hull's turn to bank, and he has a king of hearts on his face, which can be calculated as 10 points, and Hank has a 2 of clubs on his face, and then he has a 7 of spades.

Sean touched his chin with his left hand and lifted a corner of the face card with his right hand, the ace of spades, a card that can be used as a 1 and 11, and a diamond 3 on the surface, which adds up to a maximum of 14 points and a minimum of 4 points.

It looks like he's winning a lot.

"Deal the cards. Forcibly holding back the curvature of the corners of his mouth, Sean, who did not show any expression, asked for a card from Hull.

Damn it.

Looking at Hull's turned over diamond J, Sean couldn't help but curse in his heart, now he only has 14 points on his face, no matter how you look at it, it can't compare to Hank's cards.

Cause?

It's very simple, everything is written on the face of this big boss, Sean can see his hole card at a glance, it should be a flower card, if nothing else, there are 19 points, this looks like it's going to lose.

"No raise. Sean replied as Hel looked at him again.

Hull nodded, then sent himself a plum Q, his calm face twitched instantly, and he waited for a while before he recovered, and tapped his stiff right hand on the table, signaling Hank to speak.

The smile on Hank's face couldn't hide it, and he took out ten copper dog coins and slapped them on the table, and said excitedly: "Raise." ”

This one looks stable.

Sean, who also had a smile on his face after thawing, glanced at Hank, and then also put ten copper dog coins on the table.

Hermin already has two face cards, which add up to 20 points, and no matter how you look at it, he has busted, after all, a person who gets an ace and a face card is unlikely to continue to play.

His hole cards should be small, 2 or 3, and it can only be said that his luck is not very good, and about 4 out of 13 chances are drawn.

Da, da

With Sean finishing the bet, after tapping the wooden table to check the cards, Hull threw the cards in his hand, and a heart 2 was placed on the table, and then he took out the same copper coin in front of the two of them, ready to pay them.

......

"I, ready, promoted. Hull coldly threw down the words, and hurried out of the bar and headed upstairs.

Seeing this, Hank's bright face immediately showed a hint of sarcasm: "Hull, you cowardly coward, didn't you just lose 3 Golden Eagles, as for running away?"

That's right, in just one morning, Hull, who used 1 copper coin as the basic bet, actually lost 3 gold eagle coins, in other words, he lost 300 copper coins in one morning.

Even Sean was a little skeptical that Hel had offended the Goddess of the Night, and as a believer in her, he was so unlucky.

Besides, you're a real 'gambler', could it be that you've been fighting too much lately, and you've been too lucky?

In the night path, the gambler's core ability is to control the enemy by overdrawing his own luck, but he will also be counterattacked because of this.

In layman's terms, you get a luck bonus for one second, and then you get two seconds of bad luck, and if you get too much in the lucky time, you will lose more in the bad luck time.

Just like the previous battle against the Wraith Kane, Hel used 'luck' to make his 'sluggishness' work on Kane, but then Hel fell inexplicably, which is a sign of bad luck.

Looking at Hull's disappearing back, the smile on Hank's face did not subside, and instead slapped his big hand on Sean's shoulder, shouting, "You are really my lucky star, let's go drink." After saying that, he excitedly gave Sean a big bear hug.

Shit.

Pushing away the excited strong man, Sean rubbed his almost twisted waist, and kept scolding this big stupid bear in his heart.

Miss Eve was right.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I got heavy and went drinking. ”

You must be taking revenge on me.

Sean looked at Hank's face without a trace of apology, and said coldly, "No, I need to stay and guard the station." ”

"Nobody will come. ”

"Maybe. Holding his hands, Sean glanced at Hank, who was full of unhappiness, and said, "In case someone appears in front of us right now." ”

"You open—" Before Hank could finish speaking, an unfamiliar and panicked voice suddenly came through the door.

"Hello, is anyone here?"

Poof...

Hank didn't care about Sean's brown eyes at him, and laughed, "Your mouth is really the same as what Lance said, full of ominousness like a death bird, ha, ha..."

Say goodbye to the birds?

Why don't you say I'm a plague doctor?

Wherever you go, there are dead.

"Hello, is this the 'Black Rose Antique Shop'? An unfamiliar voice sounded outside the door again, and it seemed to hear movement in the store, and the owner of the voice poked his head out of the store to look inside as he spoke.

Sean also took advantage of the situation to begin to observe, a young man, wearing a silk top hat on his head, a few strands of gray curls showing under the brim, a few fears and worries flashing in his brown pupils, a few drops of sweat hanging on the bridge of his high nose, and his mouth opening and closing and panting.

A guy who looked quite wealthy in his clothes, actually ran all the way in an uncivilized way, and his eyes still carried fear that had not yet dissipated, it seemed that something was really happening.

It's just that this face looks a little familiar, Sean hesitated for a long time and spit out a name, and asked, "Charles?"

"Is it really you, Sean?" The young man who came known as Charles obviously recognized Sean, and immediately stepped into the store, and said in an anxious tone: "Mr. Sean, please save my teacher, he has now been captured by the devil." ”

Devil?

Hearing this word, Sean's brows instantly furrowed, and for a moment he remembered that his brother had also said this word.

Will?

"Who is your teacher and what happened. Hank didn't have as many thoughts as Sean, and he asked with a hint of calmness as he collected the excitement on his face.

Seeing that the two did not refuse him, Charles gently wiped the sweat drops on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "My teacher is a private detective named Kobor, we are investigating a dense disappearance case, and under the precise investigation of the two of us, we finally found the stronghold of the criminal, but after we sneaked in, we found that it was hell at all." ”

The more he recalled the horror on Charles's face, but he still gritted his teeth and continued to recall: "The stronghold was full of dried blood, stinky pieces of flesh, and the roars of monsters, waiting for us to lurk in the deepest depths to know that those criminals were simply demons crawling out of hell, and they turned humans into bloodthirsty monsters. ”

"Mr. Kobor?" Hank's brow furrowed when he heard the name, obviously he knew the man, turned to the contemplative Sean, and explained, "He is a peripheral member of the group that provides us with information, and he is a very gentlemanly old gentleman. ”

Sean, who nodded blankly, was not on Kobol at all, but immersed in the human experiments in Charles's mouth.

Animal experiments with Keen Del Kea?

The Alchemy Society of Life in Marpel's mouth?

Hank turned to Charles again, "When and where Mr. Kobor's accident happened, and how did you escape?"

"It's in the West End, in a secret factory on Connor Street, and I can take you there. Charles said with obvious tears on his face, "It's been almost half an hour now, please hurry over as soon as possible, I'm afraid the teacher won't be able to hold on." ”

"Okay, say the rest of the way. Hank nodded at Sean and immediately ran up to the second floor, he was not like Sean who relied on Gollum to get a large number of seals, and he needed to apply for seals from the vice-captain when he went out on a mission.
