Chapter 27: The Gambling
When Mr. Kobayashi heard me say that he would do his best to stop him, he didn't get angry at all, smiled lightly and said, "Don't say your words so absolutely, so let's make a bet?" β
I said uninterestedly: "I've never liked gambling, and what I want will naturally be earned through my own efforts." β
Mr. Kobayashi said, "You listen to my bet first. β
Wang Jiaqi also interjected and said, "Just listen to him." β
Mr. Kobayashi said: "First of all, if you lose the gamble, you will promise to join us, and in the future, you will do your best to assist Emperor Jianwen, never have two hearts, never betray, and die with all your might." β
I snorted coldly and didn't speak.
Mr. Kobayashi continued: "If I lose, I will hand myself over to the Emperor of the Prefecture and let me dispose of it, and I will never talk about resurrecting Emperor Jianwen and letting him regain the throne." β
Listening to Mr. Kobayashi's words, I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
This Mr. Kobayashi is elusive, he comes and goes without a trace, and it is really not easy to find him. Also, he must have a public identity in the world, I am afraid that he is even more influential than Qin Zhutian, and even more terrifying than Qin Zhutian. The most important thing is that he now hides the corpse and soul of Emperor Jianwen, and in the hands of Mr. Kobayashi, he also has three thousand forbidden troops, three hundred dragoon warriors, and twenty special guards, which is a rather terrifying force. If he uses this force, it will be a catastrophe on earth, and many people will die, and if he doesn't do it, it will make the city where I live a hell on earth! I certainly can't let him do that.
At this time, I remembered what Emperor Xudu said at the beginning, compared to Mr. Xiaolin, Qin Zhutian was just a primary school student, and I only now realized the seriousness of this sentence.
If that's the case, then what are the other two fugitives?
Seeing that I was silent, Mr. Kobayashi seemed to see that I was already tempted, so he continued, "How is it? That's not a bad condition, right? For you, there is no loss. If you win, you will become a hero on earth and save the world; Even if you accidentally lose, it's even more terrible, you shouldn't know how much I don't need, right? I don't usually give people such a good opportunity, which shows how much I value you. β
Indeed, if I win, it will save a lot of trouble, and I will no longer have to bother with dealing with this cunning Mr. Kobayashi. But what if you lose? If I lose, I will completely lose myself and completely embark on a path completely against my will.
Once I agree to Mr. Kobayashi's gamble, I'll put myself at the table.
Mr. Kobayashi looked at me and continued: "I gambled my life, my fate, my ideals and pursuits, you won't let me down, right?" β
Yes, Mr. Kobayashi dares to bet on himself, why don't I dare to gamble with him?
One of the advantages of dealing with souls is that they will never say what they say and will definitely do what they promise. Therefore, there will be no such thing as Mr. Kobayashi losing and not admitting his account.
The eldest grandson, Gundam Wuwu, and Wang Jiaqi all looked at me with different feelings in their eyes, all waiting for my answer.
Mr. Kobayashi continued, "Rest assured, our bet is absolutely fair. If you're not at ease, it's up to you to make the question? β
I thought about it again, and finally gritted my teeth and let it go!
"Good! I promise you! I said.
"That's great!" Mr. Kobayashi was overjoyed, "I knew you would agree." β
I said, "But I'm going to change the bet you said." β
Mr. Kobayashi frowned and said, "How do you want to change it?" β
I said, "If you lose, first, you have to stop all actions to resurrect Emperor Jianwen and hand yourself over to the underworld to deal with." β
Mr. Kobayashi nodded and said, "This is no problem, I said it before." β
I continued: "Second, you have to hand over the body and soul of Emperor Jianwen, and at the same time tell him where he is hiding. The underworld would never allow such a special place to exist. β
This time it was Mr. Kobayashi's turn to hesitate, and he groaned and did not speak.
I ignored him and continued: "Third, you have to hand over the three thousand forbidden troops, three hundred dragon knights, and twenty special guards in your hands, and let them be disposed of by the prefecture. β
Mr. Kobayashi did not immediately agree to this condition.
I continued, "And fourth, you must hand over the soul gourd in your hand, including those souls you have collected over the years. β
Mr. Kobayashi immediately agreed to this and said, "There is no problem with this. β
I said, "One more ......."
Mr. Kobayashi smiled and said, "You have a lot of conditions." β
I ignored him and continued, "Didn't someone give you the Soul Searching Gourd back then and encourage you to make a comeback? I want to know the origin of this person's name, and is he still alive now? If he is still in the world, where is his whereabouts? β
Mr. Kobayashi said, "I don't know the origin of this person's name, and I don't even know what his appearance is. When I saw him, I saw only a dark shadow, speaking as if in ventriloquism, as if I was afraid that I would remember his voice. He handed me the Soul Gourd, and after a few words he was gone, and I haven't seen him since. As for whether he is still in the world, I don't know anything about it, and I don't have a clue about his whereabouts. β
"Well," I said magnanimously, "then this condition may not be counted, and the others shall be said, and if you agree, we shall make a decision." β
"You're so generous." Mr. Kobayashi smiled and said, "Do you think it's fair to gamble so many things on your own?" β
I said lightly: "I think I am very valuable, no matter how much it is, it is worth it." β
Mr. Kobayashi said: "The gambling game is naturally based on the principle of fairness and justice. What you are betting on is only your future path, and what you want is so much as one, two, three, four, five. Mr. Knife, you are small and broad, four or two thousand pounds. β
I said, "If you don't think it's fair, you can disagree with the game." β
Mr. Kobayashi said, "You also need to raise your stakes. β
I said, "I'm just one now, and all I have, what more do you want?" If I had a wife, I would gamble with you with my wife. β
Mr. Kobayashi said: "Then our gamble can't be negotiated, it's a pity." But I can warn you first, I won't give up. In order to pull you in, I may use some extreme hands, and there is a good chance that it will hurt you and the people around you. Only when you are in despair will you agree to my advice. So...... Don't blame me for being too ruthless. β
I looked at Mr. Kobayashi, gritted my teeth and said, "Are you threatening and intimidating me?" β
Mr. Kobayashi said lightly: "It's not a threat, it's not a threat, it's just a kind reminder." β
At this time, Wang Jiaqi uncovered the quilt and sat up with a "whew", and said, "Okay, didn't you want him to raise the stakes?" That's enough for me, right? β
Gundam next to me also said, "If it's not enough, it's better to add me." β
Mr. Kobayashi glanced at Wang Jiaqi and Gao Gao lightly, and said, "You two are not qualified to bet yourself on me." β
He didn't mean any sarcasm at all, he was just stating a simple fact that objectively existed.
Throughout the ages, on the ground and underground, ordinary people, and ordinary souls are billions of people, so Mr. Kobayashi doesn't care about the two of them at all.
Even the eldest grandson Wuwu who was standing next to him was embarrassed to speak, and this champion of the year seemed to feel that he was not qualified.
"Soβwhat about me?"
At this time, the wind outside the window was loud, and a voice said calmly in the wind.
As soon as the words fell, I only felt that there was a flower in front of me, and there was suddenly another "person" in the room.
The man had his hands behind his back, his body was straight, his face was calm, and he was dressed as a scribe, but he gave people a coercive force.
It's the Emperor of Xudu!
Emperor Xudu actually came in person!
