Chapter 176: Ivan (3)

"Three minutes and twelve seconds, my dear," said Beelzebub, "I don't understand why such a short distance requires a ride." If you look at the search ,.."

"It's just a gesture, a need, and," Sasha said, "some of them may not like to use their legs very much." Hopkins smiled slightly, one of his patients was a bastard who liked to paralyze his victims in a wheelchair - he was dangling outside in a wheelchair, luring little boys or girls into the house, promising them a lollipop or ice cream, Hopkins cut off his legs, picked the good meat and made two plates of vegetables to feed the stray cats outside—Sasha had visited this man in Hopkins' palace of memory, he was pale, his expression was languid, and his appearance did not look like a pervert. Although he really is.

The door opened, and Dr. Hopkins stepped out first, and Catherine waited until Sasha poked her with the tip of her finger.

"She's much better." Beelzebub stared at her, "What did you give her something to drink?" "Catherine can't see, he can see.

"Contecali, two ounces of gin, ice, syrup, and pop champagne," Sasha put the empty glass in his coat pocket, "and barbiturates and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate." ”

"Barbiturates I know," Beelzebub got out of the car after Sasha, "but the seven waters...... Whatever...... What is it? ”

"Beelzebub," Sasha sighed, "you really need tuition," he said as if sentenced, "a lot of tuition, magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is Epsom salt, and as far as I know, it is still used on Poseidon Island today, when the children's tongues tremble or they can't pull out." ”

Beelzebub grimaced bitterly, and he remembered the smell. He couldn't remember how many times old Andreana had pinched his nose and poured this salty and bitter 'medicine' (note): "You carry these with you? ”

Sasha didn't speak, these things were for his father.

Catherine, as Beelzebub said, was much more well-behaved, and she took Hopkins' arm and stood beside him. With his head slightly down and his eyes looking down, Hopkins beckoned to Sasha, who quickened his pace and walked over, giving Katherine a blank smile when she saw him.

Slightly cooler, fresh air greeted them, and they walked through a short corridor, the top of which was covered with crystals, and there was no direct light. All the light is refracted many times by these intraocular lenses as large as pigeon eggs, with sharp cutting lines, smooth cutting facets without the slightest fine lines, before they can be put into human pupils, and leave countless colored "color" light spots on the dark gray mirror wall, the "color" of the carpet is difficult to distinguish the "color" and pattern by ordinary people in such light, it is dark purple "color", gold "color" and royal blue "color" wheel pattern inlaid in it.

The waiter pushed open the heavy double doors for them. There are already quite a few people in the casino, but it is much quieter than Paradise Palace.

There are no Macintos here, and no matter what the stalls are kept at a fairly wide distance, the roulette position is not far from the door, and the form is royal roulette. This method is not very beneficial to the casino, and it has two ways to place bets. Inner and outer bets. The inside bet is a bet on any number from zero to thirty-six (depending on the tick on the wheel), while the outside bet is a bet on red or black or any combination of numbers. There is also a kind of progressive jackpot, that is, when a certain number appears 5 times in a row, like "200 Macs", its amount is cumulative, and those who vote for it can get a huge and breathtaking jackpot.

Beelzebub looked around curiously, and Hopkins was right, there were quite a few of his peers here, and the teenagers were as well-dressed as their uncles and fathers. With a dignified appearance, a black or white bow tie, waxed hair sparkles in a light that is infinitely close to natural light; Girls are like adult women's "sex", wantonly "exposing" their thin shoulders and part of their breasts that are not yet fully developed, and you will never see even a piece of man-made fiber the size of a fingernail on their bodies, all of which are "hair", leather, silk, silk, and satin...... With delicate necks and wrists with priceless jewels, several of them fixed their eyes on Beelzebub, and a bold girl pursed her bright red lips behind a champagne glass, imprinting a heart-shaped mark on the glass.

The casino manager had been notified a long time ago. The moment Hopkins left the villa, he was ready—the big Hopkins sat down at a hissing roulette table, and a waiter offered him a tray loaded with chips, forty gold chips. Fifty pieces of red "color" are inlaid with gold edges, and one hundred pieces of "milk" and white "color" are inlaid with gold edges.

Hopkins placed a stack of "milky" white "color" chips and ten gold "color" chips in front of Catherine. You may be able to ignore a lot of the laws and regulations that are unobstructed outside, but no one is so naïve as to think that you can take a position and not gamble.

Catherine frowned, she picked up a golden chip, put it in her mouth and bit it.

Big Hopkins didn't immediately put down his bets, he didn't care about the little ball of ivory, he didn't even glance at the red and black "colors", and the green "color" groove that represented the complete finish. He asked the keeper of the roulette stall for a record card, which was densely packed with clear records of the wheel's movements during the first six hours—many people who claimed to be sane were swearing that the ivory ball would end up there, and that it would not have the slightest bearing on the previous outcome. The roulette wheel that looks like a whirlpool, like its tens of thousands of siblings, whether it is the speed of rotation, or the groove with words, or other small machinery hidden under the shiny surface has undergone dozens of inspections and tests before the first use, and after use, every twenty-four hours there will be professionals to adjust and repair to ensure that each component can be obedient and obedient, and the hand that dials the roulette wheel and throws the ball is always so insidious and mysterious - they may really have such a thing as a rule, But you never want to see or catch it.

Hopkins turned the card sideways and showed it to the two boys, and the first set of numbers, which were one to twelve, were significantly less likely to appear than the last two, and Hopkins picked up a stack of red chips and distributed them piece by piece over the numbers he fancied, as if he were distributing cookies to the children.

Catherine's fingers moved over the gold and white chips, and Sasha noticed that everyone around her was nervous - a bet of 10,000 yuan a piece was not uncommon, but it was definitely rare.

"Look at my luck." Catherine said she pushed out two gold chips with her fingertips and continued to point to the two numbers with her fingertips. The waiter glanced at Hopkins and pushed the two chips into place with a small "mop" (as they called the lever used to transfer chips or cash).

The dealer raised his hand to signal the start of a new hand, and he spun the wheel in a counterclockwise direction, then threw the ball that had been sandwiched between the little finger and the ring finger in a clockwise direction.

The ivory ball ticked and ticked in the fast-spinning wheel, the speed of the wheel slowing down, and the ball jumped less and less, and Catherine picked up a glass of champagne from the plate brought by the waiter, and drank it seemingly nonchalantly.

"Her teeth are shaking," Beelzebub leaned over and tugged at Lasasa's little finger, "When do you think she became conscious?" ”

"She's been awake all the time," Sasha said, as he lowered his shoulders and Beelzebub's head slid down, "I gave her a sedative, not a hypnotic." He hesitated for a moment: "I think she is a little sure." ”

"More than a little," said Beelzebub, "she won." She hit both numbers. ”

There was a low, small cheer as the golden chips were pushed towards Catherine. Two handsome waiters brought her new champagne and cheered her on with the voices and tunes of baritone and bass singers, sounding genuine.

Of the numbers set by Hopkins, some were missed, some were hit, and the part that hit was greater than the part that didn't, so to speak, he still won, but because of Catherine's relationship, he didn't get much attention.

Catherine turned and beckoned to Sasha.

Sasha grabbed Beelzebub and walked towards Catherine like a boy grabbed his big teddy bear.

"Here's it for you." Catherine said that she grabbed two golden chips and stuffed one for Sasha and one for Beelzebub. Then he hurriedly turned his head and picked up a stack of "milky" white "color" chips.

She and Hopkins played together a dozen times, winning most of them, and by the end of the day, they had the same number of chips in front of them as they had when they entered the game, but half of them were golden. People are betting after them.

Catherine stood up, and she pulled out ten gold chips from her pile, which must have been more than the previous milky white chips, and she threw the rest into her small soft sheepskin handbag.

As she passed the sand, she stopped, grabbed a handful of chips from her handbag (several of them were gold-colored), and stuffed them into the pockets of the two boys' coats.

"I thought she didn't like us gambling, or rather, gambling." Beelzebub whispered as she walked away.

"She doesn't like gambling," Sasha said, "but she's happy to beat my father in every way." ”

"And to please you."

Beelzebub sighed, and then he was punched.
