Chapter 138: Gambling
July 15th,Nearly noon,The underground casino of the school parkγ
Pasha Hogan sat at the bar, took a glass of wine from the waiter, drank it to his throat, and wiped his mouth. It just so happened that Jiang Zixiao and Giovanni finished a game of billiards and walked over from the billiards area.
Jiang Zixiao leaned against the bar, casually lifted two bottles of wine from the waiter, and asked with a smile, "How many drinks do you want to drink today?" β
Giovanni hugged his shoulders and said lightly: "It's rare to have a holiday, of course, it's until you get drunk." He turned his head and looked at the entrance of the casino, "Why is this little kid here to join in the fun?" β
I saw a dead fish-eyed boy slowly walking from the entrance, he sat down directly in front of the bar, looked at Pasha and asked, "Boss, what are you looking for me?" β
"Come sit down and have a chat." Pasha put one hand around Ji Lang's shoulder, picked up the wine glass with the other, and sent a sip of wine to his mouth.
"Okay, okay." Ji Lang lifted his chin, "But I don't smoke or drink, let's say okay first, the main thing is a good boy." β
"Let's have a drink." Pasha put down his glass, "Anyway, I know that you are all prostheses that Professor Fast copied with the 'Collector' sequence, so it's okay to drink some wine." β
Ji Lang, Giovanni, and Jiang Zixiao were silent for a moment.
"Giovanni, Jiang Zixiao." Pasha said calmly, "I actually thought before that I could not show a single gap. But in all fairness, in the past three years, is it really just pretending to be so intimate with you? He paused, "But in fact, during these three years, I did inevitably consider you my friends, do you understand how it feels...... It's that the idea in my head is crumbling, I used to think that the sequencers were my enemies, but I want you to be my friends. I don't want to fight you, so stay away from here, and there's no need to deceive me with pretenses, I know what you're like when I've been with you for so long. β
He shook his glass and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Of course, it's all an afterthought now, because I know that one person will preempt them and take my life before the Sequencers of the Executive Board." β
"Who?" Giovanni was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked.
"Xia Mingwei."
Giovanni and Jiang Zixiao were stunned for a moment: "Xia Mingwei? β
"Sure enough, it's him." Ji Lang sighed softly, "That kid just stepped out of the school park with his front foot, why did his back foot come back, I really don't know what he was thinking." β
"I can feel him coming." Pasha took a sip of his wine and sneered, "I know I still have to fight with him after all, but ...... It's not bad to die at his hands, it's better than to die at the feet of someone I hate. β
"Finally," he paused, and whispered, "goodbye, Giovanni, Jiang Zixiao." β
As the words fell, a wild thunderbolt burst out from his body, piercing the bodies of Giovanni and Jiang Zixiao with precision, and they slowly turned into white dolls and fell to the ground, without even blood flowing, which perfectly proved that they were all dolls made by Professor Fast.
Pasha took off his one-sided glasses, turned his head, and looked at Ji Lang who was stunned calmly: "And Ji Lang, say goodbye to Anlens for me, he shouldn't have been released from prison by the school yet......"
After speaking, he raised his right index finger and aimed it at Ji Lang, and the thunder light converged on his fingertips.
At this moment, that grassland at the bottom of the Chilentes Mountains.
Professor Fast scratched his curly hair, took a cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Zeus destroyed the prosthesis I made, and the nerve connection between the two of you should be broken, so let's go." β
"Pasha...... It's really Zeus. Jiang Zixiao's face was a little ugly.
"Rather, it took away Pasha's body." Fast took a puff of his cigarette, "But it doesn't make a difference, from the moment Pasha entered the school, it was already Zeus, so the Pasha you know has always been Zeus, and it has never changed anything." β
"Have I been kept in the dark for the past three years?" Giovanni's face twitched slightly, "I didn't even notice it for a moment." β
"No, why hasn't this little kid woken up yet?" Jiang Zixiao looked at Ji Lang lying on the grass, it seemed that the neural connection between Ji Lang and the prosthesis made by the professor had not been broken, so he was still asleep.
"I'm curious too...... "Fast took the cigarette from his mouth, "Zeus was so decisive with you two that he didn't kill Ji Lang's prosthesis yet?" β
Ji Lang looked at the thunder and lightning on Pasha's fingertips, and said unhurriedly: "Please, Anlens doesn't want to hear the myth carrier say goodbye to him, and it's useless for you to let me tell him." β
"Then forget it." After Pasha finished speaking, the thunder light from his fingertips had already burst out, almost touching Ji Lang's eyebrows, and at this moment, a pitch-black stick burst out of the air, blocking between the two of them, completely blocking the ray of thunder that shot towards Ji Lang's head.
The black shadow power flowed hot in the tumbling body, making it seem as if it was indestructible.
In the next second, the surging shadow power engulfed an entire stick into it, as if it had never existed, and the air slowly returned to dead silence.
At this moment, a familiar voice came: "It is recommended to let him be here first." We can get together a table and play poker. β
"Which card game requires four people to play?" Pasha said lightly, raising his glass and taking a shallow sip.
He glanced at the entrance of the casino with his peripheral vision, only to see Xia Mingwei walking slowly from the shadows, followed by a girl with long snow-white hair, it was Dong Ling.
"She doesn't play." Xia Mingwei said unhurriedly, "Let's play, just three people get together at a table." β
Pasha turned his head to look at him: "So, which play is this?" β
"I have something to confirm with you before I go to war with you."
"About Anubis?"
"About Anubis."
"Okay, then I'll talk to you about Anubis." Pasha sneered and said, "By the way, whether it's playing cards with Jiang Zixiao and Giovanni, or playing cards with Anlens and Ji Lang, I basically haven't lost a few games, I hope your poker skills won't disappoint me." β
As he spoke, he took a deck of playing cards from the waiter, slowly got up from the bar, walked to a nearby table, dragged a chair over and sat down, lowered his eyes to look at the deck of cards, and spread it out nonchalantly.
Xia Mingwei found a chair at random and sat down opposite Pasha.
Dongling sat next to him and watched Pasha split cards with a blank face, her expression focused, as if she was really interested in playing cards.
Ji Lang was the most confused person, he took a sip of the milk handed over by the waiter, and asked in hindsight: "Hey, what about your girlfriend named Qingzhu Rin, who just rescued him and didn't care about others?" β
"I'll leave a doppelganger to watch her, she's safe." Charmingway's gaze swept over his hand.
"Then why did you bring the Danish princess to play cards with Zeus?" Ji Lang jumped out of the swivel chair in front of the bar, walked quickly to the table and sat down, and glanced at the hand that Pasha had given him.
"She came with her." Shamingway explained.
Pasha drank his wine and checked his cards: "She came to see us playing, can't she?" The strong must have a beautiful woman to support the competition, right? β
"Hmm." Dong Ling nodded slightly.
Ji Lang was stunned when he heard this: "Are you kidding me?" β
He thought to himself, you are a Zeus, a black Wukong, and you are betting on this in the casino of the school park, and you are going to bring a beautiful girl to support the atmosphere, right?
Pasha ignored Ji Lang and asked Xia Mingwei, who was sitting opposite:
"What about the rules?"
"You lose a hand, answer me a question about 'Anubis', bet?"
"Bet." Pasha propped his hand on his cheek and said nonchalantly, "Let me think about it, then I will win your hand, and you will answer my question about the 'Yaki Orochi'." β
Xia Mingwei asked curiously, "Why is it about her?" β
"I just want to know," Pasha put down his glass and looked up at Xia Mingwei, "if Kaguya is still alive, can we be like you, and survive without having to survive, without having to linger...... It's about living openly. If I had been stronger, wouldn't I have been like you? β
Xia Mingwei met his gaze, was silent for a moment, and said in an emotionless voice, "Let's start." β
"It's time to get started." Pasha said lightly, "Then let me be the landlord." With that, he drew two cards from his hand and threw them on the table.
Dong Ling silently watched as the two cards rolled in the air, spun several times, and the black and white clown and the red clown on the two cards also disappeared and appeared.
Finally, it landed on the table with a click.
