Chapter 16: The Third Ring? 】
Yang Wei pulled me to the side, and then glanced at me with her eyes, and my face immediately burned. Yang Wei clapped her hands, the door opened, and the sturdy black bodyguard Hansen walked in, holding a suit of clothes and throwing it to me. I rushed into the bathroom with my clothes and put them on quickly.
By the time I came out, Yang Wei was already sitting lazily on the sofa, playing with a lighter in her hand, and looking at me with a smile.
"Okay, today's things ......" I said with a bitter face: "Thank you." ”
Yang Wei took out a box of cigarettes and threw one to me: "You will still be dizzy for a while now, when you were unconscious, I asked Hansen to inject you with a little medicine." That drug will make the psychedelic drugs in you break down quickly, but the side effect is that you will have a headache for a while, and if you drink more water, it will be relieved a little. ”
I picked up a cup on the table, went to the bathroom, grabbed a glass of tap water, and poured it on.
Yang Wei had already lit a cigarette, she took a slow puff, elegantly crossed her legs, her upper body was straight, with a mysterious smile on her face, looked at me, and then seemed to be nothing, and said something that shocked me:
"Chen Yang, let me ask you, this ring on your finger...... Where did you get it from? ”
Cold sweat!
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, I stared at Yang Wei in surprise, opened my mouth, and looked at the ring in my hand......
The ring in my hand, both in style and appearance, is completely ordinary, no different from the cheap handicrafts of 100 yuan in the store. How could someone of Yang Wei's status be interested in a ring that looked so "mediocre"?
I'm afraid there is only one answer!
She. Know something about rings?!
Seeing that I didn't speak, Yang Wei suddenly smiled, and then said again coldly: "So, do you know an organization called the 'Mysterious Substance Research Association'?" ”
Association for the Study of Mysterious Substances?
Of course I do!
Ever since I got this ring, I immediately found out that the maker of this ring is from such an organization!
When these came out of Yang Wei's mouth, I immediately confirmed my judgment! She must know the inside story!!
Next, under my shocked eyes, Yang Wei slowly took something out of her pocket......
shiny, with a hint of gold......
This is also a ring!!
Yes, it's a ring that looks like it's made of gold, it's small, but it's undoubtedly a little crude.
I'm very sensitive now, thinking that Yang Wei was able to beat me at the table today. Could it be that she has this ring...... Also a Luck Amplification Ring?
I quickly recalled in my mind the brochure I had seen on that website...... I've seen all the ring product pictures, but one thing I can be sure of is that the ring in Yang Wei's hand is not in the picture I've seen!
In other words, the gold ring in Yang Wei's hand is not one of those luck amplification rings on the picture.
In fact, it's not that I have a particularly good memory, another thing that makes me judge is the style of Yang Wei's ring.
I remember all those "official products" luck amplification rings, all of them were gorgeous in shape and in expensive styles! And the only exception is that there is no *@#% enemy $ dragon$* bookstore to sort out this "trial product" in my hand! And the ring in Yang Wei's hand looks more old-fashioned and crude than mine.
"I just got this ring a year ago." Yang Wei smiled: "It's probably the last time I returned to the United States after running things in China, and by chance, I got it in the hands of a gambler in Las Vegas." ”
"Oh?"
Yang Wei smiled, her eyes were a little strange: "To be honest, I thought he was a crazy person at all, but then the truth had to shock me......"
About a year ago, at that time, I was taking Ni Duoduo on the road of escape, tossing and turning, struggling all the way, and dying for life......
And Yang Wei, in a casino in Las Vegas, ushered in a strange gambler.
This gambler is actually very ordinary in terms of appearance and appearance, but the only very strange characteristic of him is:
He only wins, not loses!
Anyone who bets against him, no matter how good the other party is, loses to him!
Yang Wei's family runs a casino.
Since it is a casino, open the door to do business, naturally some people win and some lose. But if you encounter a guest who only wins and doesn't lose, that's the casino's worst enemy!
Generally, when encountering this kind of gambling master, the casino will have a set of routines to deal with. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of gambling masters who go to the casino to win money, one is sent by other casinos to pick the scene, so that the two casinos gather their gambling masters together, and then gamble a lot. And the other kind is the kind of lone ranger xìng gambling master to make money.
After all, a casino is a casino, and people are not banks, so where can you be allowed to come and take money at will? If you run out of money, go to the casino to "win", what are you doing in a casino? It's not an ATM!
And that strange guest seems to be a lone ranger xìng quality gambling master.
When he won half a night in a row, the casino had already carefully studied him through the surveillance video, as well as the masters inside the casino, and analyzed it.
The casino's master gamblers could not find any trace of him from the video recording of this strange guest. This person's gambling method is very normal, and there is no trace of cheating...... Of course, it may also be that his "out of a thousand" technique is very superb, and others can't see it.
But after the most powerful master in the casino studied it, he confirmed one thing: he really didn't come out of the way. If a person can be so powerful that even the most powerful gambling master in Yang Wei's family can't see it...... Then he has long been a well-known figure in casinos all over the world!
And the person in front of him is clearly a stranger.
Next, the casino thinks that someone has come to pick the scene. I found a few masters under my own command to bet with him.
The results came out quickly.
This strange guest, the town master who has won three casinos in a row!
Under normal circumstances, since your own master loses, the casino is also very simple. According to the rules of the road, the manager of the casino came forward and talked to this customer.
The casino offered to give him a small sum of money and then politely asked him to leave. Stop gambling on your own field.
Again, other people's casinos are also open for business, not your private ATM!
Yang Wei's casino has already followed the rules of the road by doing this. But apparently the guest didn't understand anything, he didn't understand the rules of the road at all, and refused the casino's request.
"I don't want your money, if I want money, I'll win it myself."
This guest said so at the time, and he said it with confidence and backbone.
But the result he got was a broken leg.
That's the rule of the Way!
If you don't eat the toast, you will eat the penalty wine!
Originally, this was just a very small episode in the casino, opening a casino to do business, I don't know how many of these things will be encountered in a year, let alone breaking people's legs, if it is out of the old people, it will simply chop people's hands directly. It's all normal!
And this matter let Yang Wei know. Yang Wei just happened to go to the casino, but when she learned about it, she immediately found out that something was wrong.
First of all, this guest's "gambling skills" are too scary! Yang Wei's own family's casino, several gambling masters in the town, the strength is really not weak! Of course, imagine that in a place like Las Vegas, there are many casinos, if you don't have a few masters in the field, you will have been eaten to the point that there are no bones left! But that strange guest almost killed the "masters" in the casino in a sweeping manner.
Secondly, according to the amazing gambling strength of this guest, but he seems to know nothing about the rules of the road...... Otherwise, you won't have your leg broken. Such a person has super strong gambling skills, but he seems to be a stunned young man who has just entered the rivers and lakes......
The two points added up, and Yang Wei immediately had the idea of soliciting.
If such a talent is not recruited, isn't it sorry for this opportunity given by God? Besides, if this kind of gambling master is recruited by other casinos, then I am afraid that there will be a headache in the future!
When she said this, Yang Wei seemed to sigh and frowned slightly, as if her face was a little unhappy.
I saw what she meant.
It seems that there are indeed no talents in Yang Wei's family...... With such a simple truth, Yang Wei can quickly figure it out, and when she encounters this kind of master, she immediately has the heart to solicit. However, the other people in charge of the casino will only rigidly follow the rules, but they can't imagine that recruiting this master is much bigger than beating him up!
"And then?" I saw that Yang Wei's face was strange, and I didn't want her to think about these troubles, so I immediately asked questions.
"Then ......" Yang Wei smiled bitterly: "I immediately asked someone to find that gambling master." The guy had a broken leg from a thug in our casino and was lying in the hospital, being carried back by my guys. Unfortunately, I misjudged...... Not only is this guy not a master, but he is even very timid. Originally, I thought he was a little backbone, but he just broke a leg, and he was scared all of a sudden. Before I could utter any words to solicit him, he began to beg for mercy himself. He thought we were trying to kill him by taking him back. ”
My eyes flashed: "Well, that ring ......"
"He gave me the ring." Yang smiled: "He speaks strangely and keeps begging for mercy. I immediately had some doubts in my heart, and I didn't say those words to solicit him for the time being, but carefully asked a few words, and as a result, this guy actually said everything at once. ”
The story is like this under Yang Wei's description.
The "master gambler" who broke his leg, under fear, thought that Yang Wei's people were killing him, but as soon as he saw Yang Wei, he begged for mercy. In order to survive, he quickly took off the ring in his hand and dedicated it to Yang Wei.
And 1510 confessed: he doesn't know any gambling skills at all! He was able to win again and again, and it was all thanks to this ring!!
The third ring?
I was shocked, but I still didn't believe it! Because I know very well, at the same time, I have also contacted the person of the organization that made the ring, the R&D person, once talked to me on the phone, and he also clearly told me that there are only two rings in the world that improve luck!!
One is my "sample", and I've seen the other one, but now it's lost in China!
And this one in Yang Wei's hand is obviously something I haven't seen at all!
Don't...... Is there a third ring in the world?
I strongly suppressed the excitement in my heart, took a deep breath, and looked at Yang Wei seriously. The smile on Yang Wei's face also retracted, and he looked at me: "That person explained very clearly. The ring was from a 'Society for the Study of Mysterious Substances', and he was frightened and spoke incoherently. It's ridiculous, it turns out that he refuses to take the shallow away. As a result, he was beaten and broke his leg, and I began to hear all this and thought he was a master with backbone and arrogance, but after we met, I realized that he was just a stunned young man who didn't understand the rules. Later, after I was scared, I questioned him carefully, probably because he was afraid of suffering again, so he honestly told everything. ”
He ...... What was said? "My heart tightened.
"He first told me a strange theory about luck, and I thought he was just talking crazy things, and I wouldn't believe his lies. I thought he was playing crazy and stupid, so I decided to try him, and I asked him to bet against me. If he can win, I'll let him go. Yang smiled: "But before betting, I took his ring away." ”
I nodded, Yang Wei's method could quickly identify the truth of what the person said. If that person can win without the ring, it means that he is relying on real gambling.
"Results. I confirmed that he really didn't know how to gamble at all. Yang Wei smiled bitterly: "It's funny that he is not even familiar with some of the rules of the gambling game." At that time, I was absolutely shocked......"
I laughed: "I understand. A person who doesn't know gambling skills actually defeated the high-priced masters in your family's casino, cutting melons and vegetables, and it will be difficult for anyone to accept. After a slight pause, I tentatively said, "Well, the purpose of this ring he gave you is ......"
Yang squinted his eyes slightly, elegantly flicked the cigarette ash, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiao Wu." There's no need for us to test each other. The guy had already made it clear, and although the theory of the 'luck substance' was a bit unbelievable and unbelievable, the more I thought about it afterwards, the more I felt that there was no lack of truth in it. Later, I learned that the Mysterious Substance Research Association had created a kind of ring to improve people's luck. She deliberately and unabashedly set her eyes on my ring: "This ring in your hand should be one of them, right?" ”
I was silent, didn't speak, and simply acquiesced.
"That guy gave me a website, I looked at it, and I thought it was mostly a prank website, you know, in Europe and the United States, there are a lot of idle and boring people who like to play these pranks. But after all, this guy casually won 10 million dollars in my casino, and I have to be cautious about this kind of thing. And that website is also doing a decent job...... I was curious, so I arrested the guy and sent someone to check the website, as well as ...... That's the Association for the Study of Mysterious Substances. ”
"The result?" My eyes lit up.
"The result...... I just can't find anything. Yang smiled bitterly, but the shock in her eyes couldn't be concealed: "To be honest, my family's strength is not bad, although it is not powerful in North America, but if you want to check some things, you can still mobilize a lot of strength." A website, but I can't find any details at all! This is obvious, this organization has a very deep background, and their secrecy measures are also very powerful, and it is definitely not a prank of ordinary people! Yang Wei sighed: "After confirming this, I was really surprised." If this ring of luck is real...... I don't dare to say anything else, at least for us to open a casino, it's a catastrophe! ”
Yang Wei's words were very resolute, with a little bit of worry. Indeed, if that kind of ring can be "mass-produced", then in this world, will casinos still be used for business? Not all of them, only a third...... No, one percent of customers wear this ring to the casino, and the casino will immediately close its doors and go bankrupt!
"Don't worry." I laughed and said, "As far as I know, this kind of ring is impossible to mass-produce." What I know is that the texture of this ring comes from some very rare metal, which may not even be a product of the earth, and this metal can absorb the air waves of luck...... Well, that's probably what it means, just like the radio receives radio waves and the radio receives signals. But such rings are rare, and it seems that the whole world ...... There should have only been two, and that organization is said to have stopped the research and moved on to other projects. The only thing I'm curious about is that I've seen only two rings in the world, but ...... I've never seen this ring in your hand! ”
"I know what you're talking about." Yang smiled, and she smiled happily this time: "Actually, that guy was harshly interrogated by me for a long time, and after repeated interrogation, I confirmed that he was not lying. And this ring I got from him...... In fact, it is not a ring to enhance luck at all, but ......eye of the storm". ”
"Eye of the Storm?" I was stunned.
Not a ring to boost your luck?
And then, what Yang Wei said made me have great respect for the "Mysterious Substance Research Association"! It has to be said that they are not only a crazy organization, but also a very far-sighted organization!
The eye of the wind, this ring is also made of a rare substance.
It is said that the raw material of the Ring of Luck comes from a rare metal in an extraterrestrial meteorite, and the eye of the wind also comes from it!
And the role of the eye of the storm is to restrain the "luck ring"!
In this world, with tanks, anti-tank weapons will appear. With airplanes, there will be anti-aircraft weapons, there will be Scud missiles, and there will also be Patriots to intercept and search for bombs......
That is, this is "restraint"!
Obviously, the Mysterious Substance Research Association, after making a magical thing like the Ring of Luck, also launched a far-sighted research on the restraint of this substance! Those people are undoubtedly very smart! They should understand that the emergence of a powerful and magical new thing must be restrained! If there is no restraint, then it will lead to bad consequences.
This principle is the same as the supervision of political power.
And the gold ring in Yang Wei's hand, "Eye of the Wind", is such a product.
It is also derived from the same meteorite as the Ring of Luck, but it is something else from the meteorite. This substance, if taken out alone, actually has no effect and has no value at all. But if it's associated with the Ring of Luck, its value is immediately revealed!
Its function is to completely restrain the luck ring!
This ring can emit a kind of interfering radio waves, interfering with the absorption of the "luck element" in the air by those around it!
For example, if you're gambling and suddenly there's this kind of distraction around you, and you can't receive your fortune, then you're going to lose. Because of this eye of the storm, all your luck is shielded!
However, the person who wears this eye of the storm is not affected by the shield! It's like the name of this ring, "Eye of the Storm"! As the name suggests, the eye of the storm is the center of the storm! And people with common sense know that no matter how fierce and crazy the hurricane is, but in the center of the eye of the storm, there is no one and the wind, and it is absolutely quiet!
To put it more simply, if someone wears this ring, then the people around him will suddenly become unlucky. And he himself, however, was not affected.
However, it is only "unaffected" and does not improve my luck.
In this sense, the "eye of the storm" is very limited, and its only purpose is to restrain the luck of others. There is a bit of "harm to others and not to oneself."
And, when I think about it, the guy who ran to the casino with the eye of the wind to gamble is actually very smart.
Because, it seems, the ring of the eye of the wind is only the most useful in the casino.
Shielding other people's luck, but not increasing one's own luck, this effect was originally very weak.
