Chapter 203: Strange Pipes
In the silent box, there was silence.
Almost everyone present, including several thugs at the Kinley Casino, focused their attention on the game between Meng Lei and DeWitt.
As time passed, the two men's community cards and hole cards were opened separately.
As if it was a script that had been discussed earlier, the balance of victory was seriously tilted from the beginning, and as the hole cards of the two were revealed one after another, they actually dramatically returned to stability.
The number of points went from 11 to 7, and it was directly pulled into a tie.
Such a dramatic change really made everyone feel complicated, like a roller coaster, blood pressure soared wildly, nervous and exciting.
Even DeWitt, who was the night manager of the casino, inevitably became apprehensive and took a deep breath secretly.
This gamble has developed to the current situation, and the two sides can be said to be back on the starting line again.
The sum of the first two cards is exactly the same, which means that they are void.
The final result depends entirely on the size of the last hole card.
Whoever the flowers fall to is all up to God's will.
Meng Lei's previous prediction came true, the opportunity has appeared, and who will win the favor of Lady Luck in the end has become a mystery that everyone present is extremely eager to uncover.
DeWitt has a good mentality, after all, he is also a master of betting, his face only stiffened for a second, and he quickly adjusted his mood.
Then, without too many words, he slowly opened his last hole card in the anticipation of everyone.
The golden card borders shimmer with surging crystals,
A large, three-legged sea creature with no less proportions than Morok is imposing on the card's surface, like a giant in the sky.
"The Trampler, it's the Trampler of Sequence Ten!"
When the card was lifted, Serge, who was standing outside the table, immediately recognized the sequence ranking of the diagram, and his face suddenly turned to ashes, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
This card, like the first hole card that Meng Lei had just revealed, was a card in the tenth sequence.
Although the suit is different, one is the well-known Moluok in the shallow area, and the other is another alien sea monster that Meng Lei has never come into contact with, the "Trampler".
However, the cards are all of the same ten, and they are all in the upper echelon of the deck.
From the point of view of probability, Meng Lei's hole cards want to suppress this one, and the chances are slightly slim.
"It's over, it's actually ten points, which is already a pretty big card, and now the commander is in danger!"
Huo Ye also secretly sweated for Meng Lei, feeling that the situation was a little bad.
The previous two cards with the same value were all voided, and now the two of them are fighting the last hand, and DeWitt's card is so big, Meng Lei's situation immediately becomes a little dangerous.
At this time, looking at the glittering trampler figure on the table, DeWitt's expression suddenly relaxed, and he felt a little relieved.
"Sequence 10 Trampler, that's a good hole card."
De Witt looked at Meng Lei with a playful expression: "Man, it seems that Lady Luck is not friendly to you outsiders from Modo City, and it is really a pity that she finally chose to stand on my side!" 100,000 marks, that's a lot of money! ”
DeWitt's tone was relaxed, full of ridicule, as if he had won the battle.
Serge's nervous face turned white, and he didn't know what to do.
The reason why Meng Lei and his party made this gamble was entirely because he, if he really lost in the end, he would need to pay 100,000 marks in the bet, which was twice as much as the money he owed to the casino!
Whose head will this money be counted, and will the other party let him pay it back?
No one can guarantee ......
But at this time, Serge had no other way to think of a response.
At this point, he could only watch with fear, and kept praying silently in his heart, hoping that Meng Lei could survive in a desperate situation and complete a counter-kill on the gambling table.
"Your Excellency DeWitt, don't talk so much first, my hole cards haven't been revealed yet!"
In the face of everyone's discussions, Meng Lei still looked like he was light-hearted, and he seemed to be confident.
He looked at DeWitt with a slight squint in his eyes and continued:
"If my hole cards are slightly better later, won't it be a loss of face for you?"
DeWitt laughed, unimpressed:
"If in the end your card is bigger than mine, then I am willing to gamble and lose, and we will write off the previous account, no two words!"
Meng Lei nodded slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile:
"Lord Steward is happy, you have said so, if I lose in the end, then I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"
"Good!"
DeWitt looked at Meng Lei more and more pleasing to the eye, and felt that he had a similar temper and a good appetite.
In the nervous and expectant gaze of everyone, Meng Lei hung his appetite, and finally stopped inking, opened the last hole card in his hand, and slammed it on the table.
Suddenly, the eyes of the audience were attracted.
For a while, the surrounding needles could be heard.
Even the sexy dealer who dealt the cards held his breath, staring at the card on the table with big eyes without blinking, and his beautiful eyes were full of brilliance.
After a while, I don't know who shouted first.
"Holy! Rattle, it's actually the highest-order card Rattle! Thirteen o'clock! ”
Listening to the voice, this should be seen by Huo Ye, it is his loudest voice.
Then, there was an uproar in the house.
"It's overturned, it's overturned!"
"It's so exciting, I actually drew the card with the highest sequence, and this luck is a blast!"
"God forbid, God forbid! Thank you for the favor of Lady Luck and praise you for your glory! ”
……
Hans and Huo Ye were all dancing excitedly, hugging each other and high-five, uncontrollably venting the excitement in their hearts.
When DeWitt's stomper came out, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.
Although they still have a trace of illusion in terms of emotion, reason constantly forces them to accept reality, believing that the chances of Meng Lei finally turning the tables are very slim.
However, no one could have imagined.
Meng Lei's last hole card is actually the top card with the highest sequence in the entire deck, printed with the alien sea monster in the shallow area beyond the horror level of the Abyss Banshee, and the humanoid creature "Rattle"!
This sudden change is like the depths of the endless dark abyss, suddenly shining into a bright light, saving people from despair.
That huge ups and downs in mentality are really exciting, and people's adrenaline rushes wildly!
At this moment, everyone's gaze at Meng Lei was a little different.
From beginning to end, Meng Lei behaved very calmly throughout the whole process, with no waves in the ancient well, and his mood did not change much.
It seems that he has been confident that he has long expected that he will win this gamble in the end, and his mentality is so stable that it is outrageous!
Such a performance is not at all like the psychological quality that an ordinary gambler should have.
It is like being possessed by a gambling saint, and he can be at ease in the face of any situation and win steadily.
In fact, the unrealistic speculation in everyone's hearts is indeed true.
Meng Lei has seen the final outcome of this gamble since he first started to deal cards.
The entanglement and hesitation between the words before, everything was just a deliberate inducement.
He knows very well that as long as DeWitt chooses to bet, then there will be no more suspense in this bet, and the final winner will definitely be on his side.
That's why he has always been so calm and easy-going.
If it weren't for Goldfinger's help, if he had been allowed to bet against DeWitt purely by luck, he would have really had to weigh it, and he would never have dared to end up with such a resolute attitude.
In fact, even if he has the help of the golden finger, according to the rules of this gamble, he is not 100% sure of winning.
If you are unlucky, you will use up all three chances to fold and you will be forced to reach the final.
And the last hand of the hand cannot beat the opponent.
Then there is a possibility that he will still lose in the end.
Fortunately, he got a good deck of cards at the beginning of the game, and DeWitt was paralyzed by his inducement and chose to bet directly.
This led to the fact that this gamble was finally able to end perfectly, and the curtain ended at the beginning, achieving the expected effect.
I have to say that everything is a matter of luck.
"Beautiful! Beautiful, indeed! ”
At this moment, there was a burst of applause in the noisy hall.
DeWitt stood up from his seat, looked at Meng Lei with burning eyes, and there was no decadence or unwillingness on his face, but there was still a smile of interest, as if he was still a little unsatisfied, and said loudly:
"A very wonderful gamble, little brother Meng, you have successfully aroused my interest, I have to admit that you are a real gambler, different from those bad gamblers below, very courageous and courageous, you can achieve great things! I like it! ”
De Witt's address to Meng Lei has changed, which is enough to see that he does have some appreciation for Meng Lei, rather than a deliberate compliment.
"Your Excellency DeWitt, you have won the prize."
Meng Lei showed a humble smile, not complacent about the victory in this gamble, and said:
"I'm just lucky, praise Lady Luck for the good luck she has brought me, and thank you to Jinli Casino and you for giving me such an opportunity to find my guide smoothly."
Meng Lei once again held DeWitt without a trace, and named him the name of Jinli Casino, secretly reminding him that it was time to fulfill his promise.
Devit was exquisite, and naturally heard the meaning of Meng Lei's words.
Nodding at the moment, smiling slightly, De Witt said seriously: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise on the bet agreed in advance!" ”
After a pause, he looked at Serge, who was full of excitement on the side, and said in a deep voice:
"From now on, the debt between you and the casino will be written off, the principal and interest of the 50,000 marks will be waived, and of course, the door of the Jinli Casino will still be open to you, and you are welcome to visit at any time."
At this time, Serge was already crying with joy, nodding his head again and again, and expressing his gratitude incoherently.
"Thank you, Steward, thank you, Lord, for your glory, for your ......"
Before he finished speaking, DeWitt waved his hand impatiently:
"You should be thankful not for me, but for Captain Meng Leimeng, who saved you, otherwise, you would never have walked out of the casino door alive today!"
"Yes, yes!"
Serge nodded desperately, turned his gaze to Meng Lei again, and couldn't stop thanking:
"Thank you, Captain Meng, thank you, praise ......"
Before he could say the rest of the words, Meng Lei interrupted him again:
"Okay, don't say more thanks."
As he spoke, Meng Lei looked sideways at De Witt: "Your Excellency De Witt, if there is nothing else, then we will leave first." ”
Although he won the gamble and believed that DeWitt would not regret it afterwards, a place like a casino was mixed after all, and DeWitt might not necessarily be a good person.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Meng Lei still hopes to leave here as soon as possible.
DeWitt nodded, and did not stop much, and said with a smile:
"Okay, next time I have time, welcome Captain Meng to continue to patronize our Jinli Casino, I am looking forward to another game with you, I hope that Lady Luck will not always patronize you."
Meng Lei smiled slightly, and affirmed:
"Definitely!"
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, he suddenly remembered something, turned around again, looked at the deck of cards on the table, and said to DeWitt:
"By the way, I want to take this deck of cards with me as a souvenir, I wonder if His Excellency DeWitt agrees?"
There is nothing special about the cards used in the gambling game, just standard commodities that come out of the assembly line.
Meng Lei only thought that its workmanship was exquisite, and he also engraved many alien sea monsters that he had never seen, so he wanted to keep a souvenir.
DeWitt naturally did not refute, waved his hand, and said boldly:
"Of course you can, Captain Meng can take it if he likes it, this can be regarded as a testimony of the friendship between us."
"Thank you very much!"
Meng Lei bowed and did not step forward in person, Huo Ye had already taken the initiative to put away the cards with the help of the beautiful dealer.
Subsequently, Meng Lei clenched his fists again at De Witt:
"Farewell!"
With that, he led Huo Ye and Hans, including Serge, who was full of gratitude and excitement, and strode out of the box.
When the group left, DeWitt looked at the open door and was speechless for a long time, sat at the table with deep eyes, and bowed his head for a long time.
At a certain moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes lit up, and he muttered secretly:
"That's right, Meng Lei! I said I think I've heard it somewhere! It turned out to be him!
The only Blue Star player that Sil Weekly has ever covered exclusively!
He actually went so far into the 66671 channel and ran to Modo City?! How long has it been since the action was so fast? ”
DeWitt's eyes were shocked and surprised, and his heart could not be calmed.
I really didn't expect that there were Blue Star players who could travel long distances to the depths of the waterway at this stage.
However, it has nothing to do with him.
His immediate priority now was to dispose of the bad debt that Serge owed him first.
After all, 50,000 marks was not a small amount after all, and he had to pay out of his own pocket to make up for the deficit in the casino.
…………
On the other side, after Meng Lei and his party left the casino, they did not stay in the vicinity, but returned to the Rongshui apartment non-stop.
On the way, Serge wanted to express his gratitude to Meng Lei several times, and asked the reason with doubt.
However, they were all coldly stopped by Meng Lei, and everything was first discussed with the large army.
When they returned to the Rongshui apartment again, Zhang Chao and his party had almost cleaned the room of 401, and only some residual filth had not been completely cleaned up.
Seeing Meng Lei coming back, he didn't wait for Meng Lei to ask.
Zhang Chao held a strange-shaped pipe in his hand, stepped forward first, and reported to Meng Lei:
"Commander, we found this in the room, take a look......"
