416.Blood Chips
"Once, there was a restaurant in the old city, which had a casino and a green house, and it was a place where many upper-class people wandered."
Sergeant Wang took out a slightly yellowed handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, his bloated figure made Sergeant Wang's face look greasy and exuded a smoky smell.
"On the gambling table in that restaurant, it is said that anything can be used as a bargaining chip, not only money, but also body and soul can be placed on the table."
"That's amazing."
Qiao Du continued to play the ability to praise.
If this is also a kind of ability, then Qiao Du is more or less the god in charge of praise among the Chosen One.
"Hehe, the old city was the center of the mainland at that time, people from all walks of life came and went, and most of the exchange of intelligence interests was carried out in the restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant was naturally the most well-informed intelligence dealer on the mainland.
Sergeant Wang said with great emotion, as if he had experienced such an era.
"And then?"
Qiao Du skillfully uses one of the three sentences of the compelling answer.
"Later, there was a big case in the restaurant, and a lot of people died, and it fell, and this [blood chip] came out of that case."
Sergeant Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead again and continued.
"When that case happened, I was only five or six years old, and I heard from adults that someone in the casino had an argument, and then provoked a stranger, and the stranger slaughtered the entire casino, so that all the chips were stained with blood, until the next day, everyone found out about the tragedy there, but the blood had long since dried up."
"Really?"
Qiao Du tore the meat off the skinned chicken thighs and answered with a greasy mouth.
"True, my grandmother's next-door neighbor worked in that restaurant, and he said it when he was playing mahjong."
Sergeant Wang was probably dry-mouthed, and took a sip of the tea on the table.
"However, that's just the beginning, you said that if something happened to this restaurant, there would be an accident, and this Gucheng Hotel had an accident before, hey, you know it."
Qiao Du nodded.
"The owner of the restaurant also disappeared, some people said he was dead, some people said he ran away, as for why he ran away, it is said that the case was done by the boss, in short, everyone has a saying, the restaurant is also gradually declining, changing hands."
Sheriff Wang said that he was in trouble, and his eyebrows danced.
"Originally, this was the end of the matter, but the person who took over wanted to open a casino, and found that those chips couldn't be washed clean, so he wanted to throw them away, but on the first day they were all thrown into the trash can, and the next day they were found on the table."
"And such a thing?"
Qiao Du was very surprised, and Sheriff Wang was very satisfied.
If the listener doesn't react at all, the storyteller will get bored, and if there is an audience who can answer, the more excited they will become.
"Not only that, but the tables and chairs in the restaurant are stained with blood, which is difficult to wash away, and if you use these chips, you may be entangled by the spirits of the dead people at that time, and you will not be able to die well!"
Sergeant Wang said firmly.
"Wouldn't it be ominous for us to take these chips?"
Qiao Du glanced at his pocket, there were twelve chips inside, two of which were left over from the previous set, and the remaining ten were blood-stained [Blood Chips].
"Hehe, I thought everyone who came here knew about it, but I didn't expect there to be a stunned young man here, it's so cute."
Sitting opposite Qiao Du, a woman wearing a cheongsam with a good face held a fan to hide her face and sneer, she was the white warbler in the same group as the Wushan before, Huangyilou.
"What's the matter?"
Qiao Du was blunt.
He knows that a dead duck has a hard mouth, and at this time, tsundere will only make himself gain more than he loses.
"The place where the bizarre case happened back then, the restaurant, is now the Jiangcheng Hotel."
Bai Ying smiled.
"And such a thing!"
Joe's eyes widened.
"So, it's understandable that there was such a tragedy here before, this is an ominous place."
Bai Ying looked at the others, and the atmosphere at this table was a little heavy because of this topic.
"It's just that those chips should have been received in the underground warehouse at that time, and they shouldn't have been taken out and used."
"You mean, that person might have something to do with the case?"
Ge Sheng on the other side of Qiao Du spoke at this time.
"Who knows."
Bai Ying looked at Qiao Du and Ge Sheng playfully, her fingers rubbing lightly against the mouth of the teacup in front of her.
"Maybe he's the survivor back then, or maybe he's the owner of the restaurant!"
Sergeant Wang subconsciously moved his chopsticks and picked up the dishes in front of him and put them in his mouth.
"It's delicious."
"Then what did he do with this gamble, it was more than 30 years ago, and we have no grudges with him."
Someone at the table shouted.
"Read on and you'll see."
The white warbler seemed to know what was going to happen next and didn't say much.
Suddenly, Sheriff Wang, who had completely let go and was enjoying the food, was stunned.
"Wait, this cutlery."
When he looked closely, he saw that there seemed to be dirt on the plates and bowls that was difficult to wash.
On closer inspection, Sergeant Wang found that it was all coagulated blood!
"This—it's blood!"
All of a sudden, everyone looked at the utensils.
And not only that, the tables, chairs, it seems that there are blood stains that are difficult to wash away.
"It's difficult, is this all back then?"
Someone screamed.
At this moment, a voice was heard on the stage.
The man reappeared.
"You've already finished your meal, so I'll tell you the rules of the next game during this break."
The curtain on the stage reappears with words.
Su Hong looked over and found that it was still a pistol roulette game.
It's just that this pistol roulette game has some more rules.
First of all, although there are still six people taking turns, the rules for getting shot have changed.
The shooter is rewarded with a chip, while the one who skips the shot must pay the price of a chip.
The person who gets shot will have to pay five chips to the host instead of to someone else.
Secondly, you can only skip three shots in a single game.
In addition, you can borrow from the host, up to a maximum of five, and if you don't return the full amount after the game is over, it will also be considered eliminated.
Finally, and most importantly, the rule.
When someone in the game has zero chips at the end of the round, only the top two players in the game will advance.
Hearing these rules, the gamblers, who were still panicked because of the blood stains on the table, quickly fell silent.
Obviously, after the baptism just now, everyone has grasped the essence of this game, but now the change in the rules may make the idea of this game completely different.
And because of the tragic consequences after losing, everyone is afraid a lot, and more importantly, this time there is not only a knockout, but a winner.
At this time, Qiao Duan suddenly found a spot.
He fumbled for chips in his pocket.
"I've got twelve chips, you."
He asked Ge Sheng.
"Guess."
Ge Sheng smiled mysteriously, and didn't tell Qiao Du how many chips he had.
Qiao Du quickly understood at this time.
The number of chips left over from the previous round is also a hidden advantage in this game.
