Laughter does not necessarily mean beauty, there are forced smiles, there are bitter smiles, etc., and the smiling face that Li Mo saw can only be said to be a very painful smile.

It's like I don't want to laugh at all, or even want to cry in despair, but for some reason, I was forced to show a smile.

It's strange that the face obviously looks like it's been painted, but Li Mo can read it.

The small print also jumped out at this time.

[An ordinary pedestrian, he doesn't seem to have any special abilities, if you don't care about him, he will definitely not come to you, the third order is weird, but you can also see that he is out of place with the surrounding crowd, and may be hiding some secrets. 】

This strange strength is of the third order, and it is likely to have a secret, whether or not he will be the target of the ascension ceremony in the end, Li Mo feels that he is very interested in understanding him.

"Let's go!" After greeting Jiao Yiming and them, Li Mo walked quickly towards the smiling scholar on the bridge.

Yes, this weird man wears a white coat with a Confucian hat, and is dressed as a proper scholar.

Coming behind the smiling scholar, Li Mo hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, I see that you are extraordinary, and I intend to make friends with you, do you think it's okay?"

The smiling scholar was suddenly accosted and stunned, but the expression on his face did not move at all.

"You want to befriend me?" The voice was gloomy and compassionate, as if it was a bit intimidating.

"Yes, the faces of the people around you are either fierce or fearful, only Brother Tai, you have a smiling face......" Speaking of this, Li Mo paused.

"By the way, dare to ask Brother Tai what do you call it?"

“…… Li Bang. It seemed to take a lot of effort before the smiling scholar said the name.

"Coincidentally, my surname is also Li, so I have to make friends with you."

Without waiting for the smiling scholar to say anything, Li Mo continued.

"I don't know what you're laughing at, Brother Li?"

"Am I laughing? Which eye did you see me smiling? Li Mo's words seemed to anger the scholar, and he suddenly became very excited.

"I'm sorry, I'm wrong." The experienced Li Mo didn't panic at all, "Brother Li, you really aren't laughing. ”

Seeing that the smiling scholar calmed down, Li Mo asked, "By the way, Brother Li, how are you feeling now?" ”

"What else, don't you see I'm in a bad mood?"

Li Mo frowned slightly, the smiling scholar was in a bad mood, but there was a smile on his face, does it mean that in this city, the expressions on people's faces do not represent moods, but represent other things?

Isn't it possible to know the secret of the smiley face scholar by figuring out what the "expression" represents?

"I wonder what Brother Li is bothered by? Is there something we can do to help? ”

"The boss asked me to collect debts, if the other party is kind and willing to repay the money, then it's okay, if the heart is not good, I will inevitably chase me with a stick, and after I go back, the boss will inevitably punch and kick me, you say, is this a thing worth worrying about."

Li Mo was secretly thinking in his heart, and at the same time responded to the smiling scholar.

"It's really a thing worth worrying about, but a few of us and a few others are willing to help Brother Li, with the five of us here, I guess the other party won't dare to embarrass you."

"Are you really willing to help me?" The voice became gloomy again, and those who didn't know thought they were trying to scare Li Mo and them away.

Of course, Li Mo was not afraid, he responded calmly: "I intend to make friends with Brother Li, of course this little favor will help." ”

"Okay, then you come with me." The smiling scholar didn't say anything more and walked forward.

Li Mo greeted Jiao Yiming and the others and followed.

As he walked, Li Mo was distracted and observed the passers-by around him, he wanted to find out the difference between a fierce person and a fearful person.

It's just that after watching all the way, Li Mo didn't find anything.

Eventually, the group stopped in front of a gambling house called Mingyue Casino.

"This is where I want to collect my debts!" The smiling scholar pointed to the gambling house.

Li Mo, Jiao Yiming and others were a little surprised, they had only heard of people in gambling houses asking others to collect debts, and it was the first time they had heard of others looking for gambling houses to collect debts.

"Gambling house?"

"Yes, someone once borrowed ten dollars from my boss to gamble, and in the end he lost everything, and the gambling house paid back my boss six dollars, so they still owe my boss four dollars."

“……”

"It seems that Brother Li, your debt is really not easy to collect."

After sighing with emotion, Li Mo suddenly reacted again, the money here refers to a part of a person's body.

The person who lost ten dollars, is it true that he has lost "fine", and the six money paid back by the gambling house is not directly repaid by one person? !

Or do the people in the city actually have another currency?

At this time, Li Mo suddenly heard the smiling scholar say:

"Brother, if you can help me recover the debt, I am willing to give you one of the four money." The smiling face scholar seemed to have wasted a lot of effort when he said this.

"Really?" Li Mo really didn't expect that there were not only things to spend money in this city, but also things that could make money.

"Of course, I mean what I say."

"But if you give us a piece of money, how can you explain it to your boss." Li Mo instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"It's okay, just think I owe my boss, and when the time comes, if my brother uses this money to make more money, it will be good to help me pay it back."

I'd rather owe money than give Li Mo money, coupled with the words that the smiling scholar said later, which made Li Mo feel even more wrong.

Could it be that there is fraud in it, not only will they not give him money when the time comes, but they will also cheat them out of their original "money"?

The small words didn't jump out, and Li Mo didn't agree, but he didn't say no directly, let's take a step at a time.

Under the leadership of the smiling face scholar, the group walked into the Mingyue Gambling House.

Business in the gambling house was very hot, almost crowded with people, and the faces of these people were the same as those outside, as if they were painted, some of them showed fierceness and some of them showed fear.

After a cursory glance, Li Mo was surprised to find that almost all of those who showed fierceness were the staff in the gambling house, and those who showed fear were almost all ordinary gamblers.

What does this mean? What does the expression on the face really mean?

Could it be that a fierce expression represents a bad guy and a terrified face a good guy?

No, these gamblers are not good people.

Before Li Mo could observe and understand too much, the smiling scholar had already found someone to lead them into the back room.

There was a slightly wealthy middle-aged man sitting in the back room, and there were two big men who seemed to be guards standing on either side of him, the middle-aged man had a fierce expression on his face, but the two big men had a frightened expression on his face.

It's just that when Li Mo and the others walked in and the two big men saw them, Li Mo noticed that the expressions on the faces of the two big men changed from fear to fierceness!
