Chapter 202: A Gambling with a Different Face
I've seen gamblers with money, houses, cars and gold, and I've even seen gamblers who are in a hurry to lose and use one of their hands to make a bet in an attempt to turn the tables.
But I've never seen human flesh as a bet.
And today I can be regarded as a long insight, and the bet used by this group of gamblers in the house is human flesh! Piece by piece, bloody and even a little rotten human flesh!
The rash intrusion of the two of us living people made the faces of the living and the dead in the room change instantly. The gamblers had gloomy faces, and involuntarily lined up on both sides, looking at us with a malicious gaze, and Wen Taizi and I also put our hands on our waists, as long as the other party dared to make a move, they would immediately burst into trouble, and first set fire to the house.
The two sides confronted each other for half a minute, and during this half minute, not only did Wen Taizi and I not say a word, but even the gamblers who were still lively just now didn't say a word, just blocked us.
After thinking about it for a while, I reacted, the other party was unwilling to turn against us at this time, and Wen Taizi and I hadn't found Zhang Wuren and He Zhonghua yet, so naturally we didn't want to do it rashly.
So I took a deep breath, and the expression on my face immediately became kind, full of smiles, and said, "Brother, don't you mind if we play two together, right?"
As soon as these words came out, those ghost zombies were stunned for a moment, originally, the dead people were gambling together to win human flesh, and the two of us living people broke in rashly, and it was already considered to be burning high incense before the fight.
Now we still want to mix in and have fun, and no one else has to think weird.
The gambler sitting in the bank was a vicious-looking zombie with deep-set eyes and fangs. Not to mention that it looks ugly, the zombie meat on its body still exudes a very stinky smell, which is even worse than that of the Zhong brothers.
The guy looked at us with a pair of gray eyes, then waved his hand, and the ghost next to him quickly gave up two seats.
The zombie's mouth flicked a few times and said, "The bet is human flesh." ”
Talking zombies are rare, because zombies are corpses after all, and after death, they are buried in the ground for a long, long time, although the muscles are stiff and not rotten, but some internal organs gradually lose their function. So most of the zombies don't even have their brains, they only know how to follow the yang qi to pounce on the living, and they can't even speak.
Generally speaking, if a zombie wants to speak, it must meet two conditions, one is that the corpse has an autonomous consciousness, whether it is a corpse formed by a lonely ghost occupying the body, or the corpse has undergone special treatment before death, retaining the soul of the deceased.
The second is that there must be an organ that produces sound, and both are indispensable.
If the corpse chaser or the people of the Corpse Zhong family encounter a talking zombie, they will definitely try their best to capture this thing alive, and they have a complete set of methods for using zombies.
I was thinking about it in my head, but my mouth was saying, human flesh? We brothers have a lot of meat on them, but we can't lose this thing, so let's change the bet and make sure it's better than human flesh.
The zombie said coldly: "As long as human flesh." ”
My heart was on fire, and I just wanted to give this guy a head with a burning stick, but when I thought about it, I still had a smile on my face and said, "Dude, don't worry, let's see what I took out." ”
Zombies want to eat human flesh, naturally in order to keep the body from rotting, and those ghosts and ghosts want human flesh, in fact, they also want to use the wisp of yang contained in human flesh to maintain the stability of the soul. So in the city of Mida, human flesh is the real hard currency.
But in addition to human flesh, there are many things that can keep zombies incorruptible or their souls stable, and the effect is much better than human flesh. It's just that zombies and ghosts can't be obtained, so they retreat to human flesh to satisfy.
As I looked at the frosty zombie, I pulled out a small bottle from my bag, and when I opened it, a faint scent of apples emanated from the air.
I don't know if zombies and ghosts have a sense of smell, but as soon as I took this thing out, I saw that all the zombies and ghosts present couldn't sit still.
This is a bottle of refined Styx water, made from underground river water that does not see the light of day all year round and a moss called Earthshade Grass, which is refined in the Land of Extreme Yin.
Exorcists can use this thing if they have a little ghost, or if they call for the help of lonely ghosts, of course, this thing has little effect on the living, but it is simply a great thing for zombies and ghosts.
The old zombie couldn't sit still no matter how calm he was, after all, the water of the Styx River was much better for them than human flesh, and if I hadn't put my hand on the burning stick, I guess this guy would have thought of robbing.
So it said coldly, "Bet! ”
He pushed the human flesh on the table forward and said, "This is my bet!" ”
I grinned and put the water of the Styx on the table, and the zombie imps seduced by the faint scent of apples couldn't help but lean forward, and the old zombie became angry and slapped the table, and the shocked gamblers didn't dare to move.
He took out the gambling equipment from the table, and it was a simple three dice, square and angular, all carved out of stone. may often be played by old zombies, but the surface of this dice is shiny and shiny, with a faint jade feeling.
The old zombie said, "You know the rules? ”
I shook my head and said, "It's better to restart it." ”
This old zombie has a bad temper, but for the sake of the face of the River Styx, he still patiently explained to me. Taking advantage of this time, I quietly made a gesture to Wen Taizi, asking him to find a chance to see what was still hidden in the back room of the house.
To put it bluntly, there are no living people in Midor City, but human flesh has appeared here. If I don't understand this, I guess I won't even be able to sleep.
Wen Taizi nodded to show her understanding, and left the room in a flash while everyone was concerned about the bet between the two sides.
The old zombie didn't notice it, and told me there that the way to bet is very simple, everyone throws the dice, and whoever has the most points wins.
The contrast regarding the bet is also made by the old zombies, and a bottle of Styx water can only be exchanged for a human hand, or a human head. If it is a muscle in the chest and abdomen, it is calculated based on size.
I looked at the human flesh on the table, and saw that the human hands and feet were not as hard as the corpses outside, but typical living human limbs. And some of the limbs also have the fabric of jeans, which is obviously made of modern technology.
At that time, I chuckled in my heart, grandma's, ridiculous is definitely a lie! There were corpses of living people in jeans here, and he even said that no living person had ever come in here!
I didn't debunk this group of zombie imps, but casually said that the quality of these human flesh is a bit poor, and if there is better human flesh, maybe I can exchange it for some better quality Styx water.
As I spoke, I took out another bottle of Styx water from my bag, stimulated by the scent of apples, and the old zombie's heart was itching, and a pair of gray eyes began to turn rapidly.
But he still sat firmly and said, "You want better human flesh, and I have it here!" But only if you can win me! ”
If you want to find out where the human flesh in Mido City came from, you have to win this old zombie pants can't be found, and I didn't bother with him at the moment, just said, although the quality of your human flesh is a little worse, but you can use it anyway, so be it!
Hearing that I was relieved, the old zombie waved his hand to let the onlookers retreat, and then stretched out his arms, caught the dice with the gap between his five fingers, and threw it directly into a broken bowl carved in stone.
As soon as I looked at the old zombie's dice throwing technique, I knew that this guy's gambling was completely by luck, and it was estimated that he lost his life because of gambling before his death, so he was buried in the barren mountains and became a zombie.
Of course, I wasn't interested in the old zombie's past, I was only interested in the dice he dropped.
Three dice landed in the flat bowl and soon the result appeared, two twos, one three, the small ones could not be smaller, if in normal gambling, such points basically have no hope of winning.
But the old zombie is the old god, and he is not panicked at all. I understood what this guy meant after a little thought, and I guess I was thinking, it would be good to win the water of the River Styx, and if I lost, then even people would take all the water of the River Styx back.
When the time comes, the water of the Styx will naturally be used to enjoy it, as for the people? I'm sorry, and it's chopped up as a bet on the table.
I was secretly amused, and I said in my heart, just you chickens and dogs still want to deal with two exorcists? At that moment, I was not polite, I threw the dice in the bowl with the dice in my hand, and shouted three loud, big, big in my mouth!
Ever since I opened the coffin, I felt that my luck and sixth sense had skyrocketed, especially when I heard the voice of a child calling out to me from time to time.
I don't know what the so-called black coffin contains, but that doesn't stop me from trusting my luck.
The dice swirled in the flat bowl, and it took three or four seconds for them to slow down and become two fives and one six.
The points are not the biggest, but the victory over the old zombie is real.
The old zombie was also simply, a human hand was thrown over directly, he took out two more pieces of human flesh, pointed to the Styx water and the human hand on the table, and said expressionlessly: "Double the bet!" ”
This kind of gambling is obviously bullying, because it has a lot of human flesh around it, and if you lose the bet, you will double the bet, and if you lose, you will double it, according to this method of doubling the bet, no matter how much you lose, as long as you win a handful, you can turn the tables.
According to the theory of probability, if you bet too much, there will always be one to win, and when the time comes, whether it is human flesh or the water of the River Styx, it will all be his.
I had the intention of buying Prince Wen a little time, and I didn't refuse at the moment, but put the won human flesh and the water of the Styx together, and said, "Okay! Let's do it again! ”
