"It's finally time to take a break. ”

Eve said weakly, she had been dancing with Lorenzo since the beginning, and she finally had a chance to take a break when switching tracks.

So far, the two of them have been quite successful, no one has noticed the abnormality of the two, and no one has talked to them, but some curious eyes have looked at them, which makes Eve a little panicked.

"Don't worry, they're just curious. ”

Lorenzo's words were well-timed.

"I don't know how many times this kind of ball has been held so secretly, even the masked guests will feel familiar with each other, and now with us, they must be wondering where we came from. ”

"Do you want to talk?"

"There's no need, the more you talk, the easier it is to show your stuff. ”

Lorenzo's acting ability is really strong, looking at his casual appearance, it seems like he has participated in it many times.

Grey blue eyes roamed back and forth, in fact, he was also very uneasy, but he did not tell Eve that the feeling was rising from the sight of the stained glass window, which was originally a church building, but now appeared in this strange underground, as if behind the glass was the gate to hell.

"Eve, did you see the guards?" said Lorenzo suddenly.

"Guard?" the girl looked around, everything was bathed in a sea of joy, there were no guards.

"Yes, we came all the way, and there were no guards except for the beginning. ”

Lorenzo's expression was rare and solemn, and he sat in his seat, and everything seemed to be normal, like an ordinary ball, but suddenly he noticed something, and the attendants walked through the crowd, holding trays with coins and gold on them.

The trade had begun, or rather since the two of them had entered, and Lorenzo had expected some formal presentation to be there, and then he was greeted by a group of handsome women, but now the goods were being traded on pallets and passed through the crowd like wine.

Damn, then there is a high probability that Saab will not appear.

Everything for tonight is a perfect script, Lorenzo counted everything, but he didn't think of it.

Just when Lorenzo was worried, an attendant came up with butcher coins and gold and silver jewelry in a tray, and Lorenzo pretended to be familiar, and was about to take out the last few butcher coins to send the attendant away, but the attendant spoke.

"Sir, you have been invited. ”

The squire wore a mask and his voice was cold, which made Lorenzo feel a little uneasy in this situation.

"Invite me?"

Lorenzo asked again, only to see the squire get out of the way. On the high platform behind him, a man in a bull mask was waving at Lorenzo.

"Eve, get your weapons ready, we should be exposed. ”

Lorenzo stood up, whispering to Eve in the process.

The girl's expression suddenly changed a little, her hand resting lightly on her thigh, and only a light dress separated her from her cold weapon.

"What are you going to do?"

The girl asked him in a whisper, only to see Lorenzo pick up his pocket watch, it was 1 o'clock in the morning.

"I can't escape when I go to the appointment. ”

As he spoke, Lorenzo took Eve's hand and strode forward.

......

This was the highest point of the hall, just under the stained glass, and when Lorenzo looked underground, he remembered that there were many people on the high platform, and when he arrived, there was only one attendant standing far away except for the man who had waved to him.

It was obviously a warm and joyful dance party, but it was vacant and deserted.

"Welcome to my new friend. ”

The man greeted him with open hands, a figure that matched his mask, which reminded Lorenzo of the shrike mask.

"Looks like I've been exposed, and I wonder how you found me, Mr. Saab. ”

Lorenzo sat opposite Sabo with Eve, and he didn't hide it in the slightest, and said all this directly, still with that calm appearance.

There's no need to hide it, that would be ridiculous, in fact, Saab could have killed them directly, not invited.

Saab smiled slightly, he is the master here, everything is under his control.

"From the moment you got in the car, sir. You know that the students here are not disrespectful, and they are usually closed to the outside world when they have enough guests, and even if you bring new guests, you need old guests to apply to me, but such a place is ...... Who's going to say that?"

Everyone wears masks and dances lightly on the dance floor.

"This is the kingdom of heaven, but people are greedy, and no one will share this place with others. So there will only be fewer guests, but not more, not to mention your butcher coins. ”

The shrike bird's coin flipped over on the table, and finally the shrike bird's side was facing up, and Sabo looked at Lorenzo, whose eyes seemed to glow under the bull's mask.

"Do you know sir, a butcher coin can be exchanged for three gold lion coins, enough for a family in Xiacheng to live for a few months, and it will not depreciate with the rise and fall of prices, as long as you take it to the exchange point, you will definitely be able to exchange it for money. ”

Sabo said quietly.

"The lower town is a garbage dump, and in order to protect the butcher coins, the poor will hide them in the most intimate places of their own, and countless times they have to rub their hands gently to ensure their existence. That's their life. ”

"Look at your butcher's coin, it looks as if it had been brought out of the mint, and it is the kind of new coin that only the noble shrike possesses. ”

Lorenzo nodded slightly. However, there was no need to hide anything, and then Lorenzo directly took out the silver revolver and pointed it at Sabo, which was a dangerous move, but the attendant not far away didn't seem to see it.

"Then I guess you know this gun. ”

"Of course I recognize the shrike's gun. ”

Saab didn't seem surprised by the appearance of the gun, and even didn't make any waves, picked up the wine glass next to him, and poured it into the blood-like wine.

"It was called the death knell because the shrike said that when it fired, it sounded much like the chime of a dead man. ”

The bell rang and the bullet was discharged, and the dead lay to rest forever under the earth.

Lorenzo looked at the ghosts depicted on the nest, and the ghosts attacked the gods' territory before being burned to ashes in a fire.

"I just wanted to ask a few questions, there's no need to bleed. ”

"But when you came with a weapon, you were ready to bleed, weren't you?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and their eyes showed the same emotion, like hunters who met on a narrow road, and they both knew very well what would happen next.

It was a simple conversation, but the strange pressure grabbed Eve's throat, and from the moment she sat down, she couldn't speak, not even move, even when Lorenzo lifted her skirt and picked up the gun called Deathknell.

The joyous ball was not broken by Lorenzo's gun, but both of them clearly felt the undercurrent surging in it.

"Why don't you find a compromise?"

Lorenzo dropped his gun abruptly, he gave up his tough attitude and had a smile of assurance under his brass mask.

"You seem to be well aware of the situation. Sabo looked at the man in front of him, and he suddenly became a little interested.

"yes, even if I kill you, I won't be able to get out of here alive. You are doing a shady business here, you not only have to protect yourself, but you also have to satisfy those guests, after all, here they are guests, take off the mask they are the handles of all the important positions of the old Dunling, you live is their stain, they join hands and you will definitely die. ”

Lorenzo looked at the glittering hall and couldn't imagine how much money Saab had bet here.

"As soon as you give the order, a group of guards will come out and evacuate with the guests, and then this place will become a bunker, no one can escape, and no one can enter. ”

Just like the hot spring pass of the Yongdao, a person holding a firearm to guard the outside, even if there is an army hidden in the underground palace, it is difficult to leave, but in the same way, as long as Sabo guards the Yongdao, no one can break through here.

"You won't rebel against the shrike, but only not again, and as long as you keep silent I won't dig anything. ”

"And what are you going to do, sir?"

"Why don't you bet?" said that, Lorenzo's eyes lit up.

"Bet?"

"Yes, only in the gambling game, we are evenly matched, Lady Luck will not favor either side, there is no bloodshed, there is no conflict, harmony is not good. ”

"Hmm...... It's funny. ”

Saab was a little surprised, but did so. He clapped his hands, and the attendant came with a splendid box, which was opened, and the poker dice were all there.

"Which one do you want to play?"

Sabo shuffled the cards as he spoke, and the queen and king rolled back and forth in his hands, and finally lay out on the table like an army of horses.

Lorenzo shook his head and picked up the revolver again, only this time he opened the nest and exited the nest of bullets one by one.

"Actually, I'm not very good at playing cards, I prefer pure ...... to those mathematical calculations Luck. ”

Five bullets lay horizontally on the table, the brass shells reflected the masks of the three men, and the nests of the bullets were spun violently with a clattering sound.

Lorenzo's voice was soft, and he said with the familiar words from memory.

"One in six probabilities. ”
