Around 3 a.m., I was put in a hood, my hands tied with plastic strips, and put in a car.

Although it is impossible to determine with the naked eye, it is clear from the height of the chassis, acceleration at start, and the feeling of riding that this model is not affordable for the common people.

The guy who can let his minions drive this kind of car to "invite people" naturally has to be a big man.

However, I didn't feel that there was anything to be happy about this "invitation......

…………

My name is Sakaki Wuxuan, and I pronounce it in the ancient language of Sakurafu, is it sakaki_mugen, isn't it bluffing?

It's right to bluff, because that's my own name; I've been using it since I stepped into the dark world of "gambling" at the age of fourteen.

Gamblers are like entertainers, our names don't need to have any sense of reality, and names that are fake enough to seem to be isolated from reality are the best.

In this world of the jungle, momentum is very important.

Even if you are penniless and will fall into the abyss that you can never climb out of the next second, your momentum must not collapse.

Because...... Once you show the other person your fear and weakness, you're done.

And the name is also part of the momentum, and the gambler is to use everything available to win - whether he is saddled with a cool secondary name and is complained about in life, or he wants to die with an ordinary name, it is not so difficult to choose.

…………

The city where I live is called "Kagetsu Town".

As the name suggests, this place is as glitzy and ethereal as a mirror.

During the day, Kagetsu is like a sleeping, pale woman, but at night, she will wake up and become the lover of your dreams after the first drink.

Here, you can see the most beautiful and the worst scenes in the world at the same time.

The men reveled in a whirlpool of wine and wealth, and in one night they could gain or lose everything.

The "meaning" of so-called gambling lies in...... It can make everything else that is "meaningful" "meaningless".

Anything that has been transformed when you put it at the table.

Money, power, loved ones, your own life...... Wherever humans can go crazy, the limits of the table can be extended.

This experience of cruising between one step to the sky and no longer to be recovered is the ultimate game that only humans can enjoy.

And I am the leader in this field, one of the "two legends" of Kagetsu Town.

Of course...... It is said to be a "legend", but in fact, it is just a gambler.

In the eyes of those who really have power, I am the kind of person...... It is nothing more than relying on a little talent, living on the flesh and blood of those who have fallen.

I walked into the mahjong parlor near midnight.

I like to go to this kind of small miasma, partly because the regular casinos have basically blacklisted me, and partly because I often meet peers in such places - in the parlance of the insiders, the so-called "connoisseurs".

In addition to their peers, there are many gamblers in this kind of place who think they are "experts", but in fact, they are only a little better than ordinary people because they have lost too much.

Playing with these people, even if I sometimes deliberately lose a little bit depending on the situation, is happier than I go to a regular casino to win the money of ordinary people who gamble for pleasure.

Tonight, a "big fish" came to the mahjong parlor.

He noticed him as soon as he entered the door, it was a man in his early thirties; At a glance, you can see that he is a decent person, very different from the sloppy greasy uncles around him.

The watch on his wrist, which was more expensive than the entire mahjong parlor, and the look of freshness on his face when he saw the mahjong mat (a plastic product that dates back to the Showa period, and is generally a square mat with protrusions on all sides, and can be used as a mahjong table by placing it on the stove quilt, all show that his class is far from the people here).

In addition to being rich, his strength is also good.

He plays very orthodox mahjong, without any small movements or cleverness, just orthodox, reasonable, and naïve.

I can see in his eyes that "the 'gambling in the sun' in the casino doesn't appeal to me anymore", and I have seen a lot of such people, who are interested in real gambling...... Or they are full of curiosity about that dark world, and in the end, these people are all swallowed up by the darkness without exception.

After observing a half-village, I gave a look to one of the regulars at the table, who naturally knew me and knew what I meant, so he quickly found a way to go back.

Then I jumped into the game and started winning.

"Big Fish" ran out of sticks after an hour, but instead of any anxious or disappointed expression, his face showed excitement.

He happily pulled out the money and planned to add some more, but the boss casually found an excuse to refuse him.

Clearly, the boss has smelled "trouble".

Me too.

Therefore, I also found an excuse to quickly change money and leave.

"Big Fish" stopped me and said that he wanted to talk to me, but I refused him without hesitation and left the mahjong parlor as fast as I could.

I thought it was over here, but I didn't expect it......

In less than two hours, I was blocked in an alley by a group of practitioners who looked very professional

This isn't the first time I've been restrained by force, but considering that every time I'm caught doing what I do, it's probably the last time, I can't take it easy.

I don't know where they're taking me, but I understand...... The "fish" encountered this time may be a little too big; Maybe it's big enough to say "the fish eats me" instead of "I eat the fish."
