Chapter 29: Roulette (Part I)

"It's time, it looks like there are no losers in this round." Zhang Hui retracted his gaze from his watch, "Then, let's start the next round of betting." He said.

There were only 6 glasses of wine left on the table, one of which contained enough cyanide, and once you drank it, in this valley, it was absolutely hopeless.

The glamorous corpse incarnated as "Xiaoli" sat quietly on the side while the three of us were talking, with a miserable white face, a stiff and weird smile on his face, not saying a word, not even breathing in his chest, like a paper puppet.

I made up my mind: "You seem to have said that I also have a chance to participate, how can I play?" ”

"Boss Huang on the other side, our rules are still the same - five minutes, if you can't remember who I am, just have a drink." He turned to me and said, "Let's play alone." ”

"Okay."

"I know you must have a lot of questions to ask me, a glass of wine at a time." Zhang Hui said.

I glanced at the six wine glasses on the table and said, "That's fair." ”

In fact, according to the current situation, Six Fingers and I are actually two pieces of meat on the chopping board, no matter how Zhang Hui goes under the knife, but he just proposed a relatively relaxed game rule, so my comment is really from the heart.

And the six fingers sitting on my right hand, his forehead began to sweat again, he looked at the black gold ring bee crawling on his arm, opened his mouth several times, and finally plucked up the courage to say: "There is no new hint, how can I guess?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, even I glanced down at the so-called "big brother on the road" of Six Fingers, thinking that money is really good, just relying on a lot of gold, such a waste can actually hold down Li Yi's head steadily, and for so many years in a row - I am all sorry for Li Yi!

"Hehe, when I borrowed 200,000 loan sharks and lost all my money in your casino, no one reminded me that I was the only real gambler on that gambling table, and the other two people were all your trust, you set up a game and waited for me to get in, so that I would never recover!"

Zhang Hui still had a smile in his tone at first, but when he said the last sentence, his hands had subconsciously clasped the tabletop, and the green tendons on his neck were bursting up, and he was full of hatred.

Six Fingers suddenly flinched, not daring to speak again.

I asked, "I have a question too – what if I don't want to ask?" Is it okay not to drink alcohol? ”

"Gotta ask." Zhang Hui took a deep breath and calmed down, "You two must accompany me to finish this game today, I said, as long as you win me, there will be a chance of life." Don't try to stall, the cops outside the valley won't be able to save you. ”

Just kidding, even if those black gold ring bees are Xibei goods that can't sting people, but there is a Xiaoli sitting opposite me, and with only Zhang Hui's order, Xiaoli can swallow me and Six Fingers alive.

Before I walked into the valley, I had already thought about it, even at great risk, and I would let go of any news about Kβ€”it was useless to run away, because the sprint on my back was like an appendage, and I had to face it.

And time is also an extremely precious thing for me - no one knows that the next time the tattoo on my back will attack, I will die like Qiao Zhenbang, for some reason.

In the eyes of those invisible, powerful, and terrifying beings in the dark, what difference is there between me and anyone else in this world? It's just a member of the underworld, so ordinary that he won't have any memory points at all.

The elephant doesn't care if it tramples an ant to death, and it doesn't even realize that its unintentional step has destroyed an equal life form.

But as an ant, I have to care about my life and death.

Sage Confucius said: Death and life are also great, although the heavens and the earth fall, they will not be left behind.

Life and death are major events, and even if the heavens and the earth fall, they will exist forever.

How could I not care?

I pondered for a while, then asked solemnly, "What message did K ask you to bring me?" ”

I didn't ask about the relationship between Zhang Hui and K, nor did I ask K's purpose, I asked this because I didn't give Zhang Hui a chance to be a scoundrel, he could only simply tell me the key information I wanted to know the most.

Zhang Hui replied to me unequivocally: "K expected that you would definitely ask that." ”

He reached out and took out a folded note from his pocket: "The message is in this note, you have a drink, and I will give you the note." ”

"Okay."

After all, there must be such a thing, and I have already secretly done my own psychological construction, and at this time, I did not hesitate to stretch out my hand and directly hold a glass of wine in my hand.

But the moment I picked up my glass, I suddenly felt a rush of heat in my chest!

That piece of blood jade was hot again at this time!

I suddenly felt a pang in my heart - on the hillside before, I and the old knife both inhaled the poisonous mist, and the blood jade I wore on my chest at that time was also a fever, and then it lifted the poisonous mist that was inhaled into my body for me, is it ...... now

No, there are subtle differences.

The blood jade in my chest is far hotter now than when I inhaled the poisonous mist, and the skin that directly touched the blood jade was almost like it was about to burn!

Another speculation immediately flashed through my head - maybe it was a warning!

The glass of wine I was holding was the only one on the table that contained a lethal dose of cyanide!

Almost at the same time, Xiao Li, who was sitting quietly opposite me like a dead puppet, suddenly raised her head and looked straight at my chest, as if she had discovered the existence of blood jade.

The thoughts and speculations flashed through my mind in a split second, and then I made a decision.

I put down my glass.

The temperature of the blood jade cooled down at a point where I almost couldn't bear the pain I exhaled.

On Xiaoli's pale and expressionless face, her gaze froze for a moment, she tilted her head, as if she was continuing to feel something, and finally lowered her head slightly, turning back into a puppet that neither spoke nor moved.

My vest was soaked in an instant, the arteries in both temples were about to burst, and a drop of cold sweat ran down my forehead and down the tip of my nose onto the wooden tabletop, splashing a circular wet shadow.

"What's wrong, scared?" Zhang Hui looked at me and sneered.

"I said I'm not afraid, do you believe it?" When I heard Zhang Hui say this, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief - fortunately, he didn't notice anything unusual.

"I'm afraid, but I still have to drink."

"I'd like to change the glass, can I?"

Zhang Hui waved his hand impatiently: "Whatever, don't waste any more time!" ”

I picked up another glass of wine next to me.

The temperature of the blood jade in his chest did not change.

I put my glass to my lips and tilted my head slightly.

The wine is slightly sour and astringent, with no fruity aroma, it is not a good wine after all, and there is a clear bitter almond flavor in it.
