A ghost storyteller can lose his life but cannot lose his job

Chapter 98 This man is from Jinchuan!
"No, there are those ghost story masters you mentioned upstairs. So what was the purpose of the security check at the door just now?"
Zhong Xie was puzzled.
"Security? Isn't that used to check for prohibited items? Of course you can't bring anything flammable or explosive into this casino. Last time my lighter was confiscated." Li Hao felt strange. In his opinion, this was not a problem at all.
Well, this kind of thing is indeed not something that a person who can't even use ghost stories can understand.
"Should we go upstairs and take a look?" Shen Junyi looked at Zhong Xie. After passing by Wang Cheng and his group, he was happy to follow Zhong Xie's instructions.
Although Zhong Xie's style of doing things is eccentric, it has been proven that he can always win with unexpected moves.
"No, let's play for a while now." Zhong Xie shook his head, strolled to a roulette machine, sat down, and began to study the rules.
Shen Junyi was stunned, but then he quickly thought of something, sat down next to Zhong Xie, took out the bag of knuckles and placed it on the game console table, and asked in a low voice: "Are we being targeted?"
His sword ghost has keen insight, but now that the sword is stored in the sea of consciousness, he is not as alert as Zhong Xie who was born in Wangcheng.
"Well, I guess so." Zhong Xie also spoke in a low voice. His rat sense didn't actually detect anything unusual. He just inferred and judged based on the current situation.
Both of them and Zang Mu entered the venue using amulets that concealed the aura of ghost stories, but in reality they were completely different.
If this was not a "randomly assigned" venue, then the venue that Zangmu entered was most likely a "fake venue" arranged in advance.
Use a "fake venue" to provide some false information, and then after Zangmu shows his ability in ghost stories, pretend to send Zangmu to the venue, creating the appearance of restricting the level of ghost stories, so that he will believe the information he has explored.
The reason for this different treatment is of course obvious. Zangmu's level of weird stories far exceeds the admission standards for real venues.
Ordinary gamblers can enter directly; low-level ghost story masters can enter after inspection; high-level ghost story masters are sent to the virtual venue, and then a reason is found to send the high-level ghost story masters out.
In this case, the role of this inferior amulet is actually better than nothing. The venue knew clearly who the ghost story master was and whose level was higher than the admission standard.
The full body check as part of the security procedure probably illustrates this point.
However, this venue did not seem to have any intention of coming into conflict with the high-level ghost story master. It just avoided him and fooled him. It did not prepare any killing move to trap and kill the high-level ghost story master in the fake venue.
Maybe they believe in the principle that harmony brings wealth. After all, high-level ghost story tellers are not easy to deal with. If there really is some outrageous ghost story, it is possible that the venue will be blown up.
Thinking of this, Zhong Xie felt a surge of anger in his heart.
What does this mean?
Do you look down on the destructive power of us low-level ghost story tellers?
Then you'd better wait and see, sooner or later you will block me.
Zhong Xie had a smile on his face. He suspected that he and Shen Junyi would be the focus of surveillance in the short term, so he simply did nothing and enjoyed the life of luxury and debauchery for the moment.
He looked at the screen of the game machine in front of him. The rules of this game were very simple. After placing a bet, he would spin the wheel. He would press the button again to stop the wheel. Wherever the pointer stopped would be the corresponding reward.
Zhong Xie had noticed during the chat just now that this roulette wheel has three speed states, which are random and alternating. After pressing the button, the roulette wheel will stop after 4.44 seconds.
In the medium and high speed modes, Zhong Xie couldn't see the roulette wheel spinning clearly, but he could barely keep up with the lowest speed.
With the peak dynamic vision of human beings, Zhong Xie could definitely make a small profit from this game console.
"Brother, do you want to play this?" Li Hao leaned forward and asked, "This kind of game machine is boring. The probabilities are all statistically analyzed. It's better to go to the card table over there and compete with people. People can't bet against machines, but can they bet against people? Am I right?"
Zhong Xie ignored him, picked up a finger from the bag that Shen Junyi had just placed on the table and threw it into the coin slot, then placed his bag on the coin outlet under the game machine.
He stared at the roulette wheel in front of him intently. His luck was pretty good as the first time he spun it at a low speed. After Zhong Xie's eyes adapted to the speed of the roulette wheel, he pressed the button steadily, allowing the pointer to slowly stay on the highest-level grand prize.
10 knuckles.
According to Li Hao, the prices here are very cheap. This is a high-end room for game consoles. You only need one finger joint to start playing, and with one finger joint you can eat and drink as much as you want upstairs and have fun all day long.
As for the low-level rooms and the large card tables in the distance, real chips are used. The starting bet is not high, but there is no upper limit, which can always make the unlucky guys lose a whole hand.
If you don’t like to go upstairs to do business, you can play gambler downstairs. A finger joint can often make these crazy gamblers recognize you as their real father and do whatever they want.
The coin outlet spit out knuckles, and Li Hao beside him was stunned. He couldn't help but shout out: "Brother, you are my real brother, please teach me how to do it, please, I have a lot of Liu Hanwang's secrets here, I can exchange anything you want to know."
When he got excited, he couldn't hide anything and started to talk about everything. "Really, I told you that King Liu Han looks serious and doesn't like women, but that's just his one-sided love for one type. Brother, you are so rich, you can redeem a few women that King Liu Han likes in the casino, and then you will definitely be able to use them when you go to the Mausoleum of the Later Han King. You will definitely be able to exchange for a lot of good things. This is a very profitable business, brother."
"I tell you, King Han likes..." Li Hao's eyes began to wander around the casino, as if he was trying to find a woman who was the same type as Liu Hanwang's white moonlight, but somehow his gaze fell on Shen Junyi. He wanted to say something, but finally stopped.
Zhong Xie glanced at Li Hao, then at Shen Junyi, and decided to bring Shen Junyi with him next time he went to Wangcheng.
Just say that King Liu Han found his sister among his Terracotta Warriors and he was hooked.
He played a few more rounds, and the medium-speed and high-speed roulette were basically just guessing, and only the low-speed roulette was almost a sure win.
In just over ten minutes, Zhong Xie made a net profit of more than forty knuckles. Li Hao looked at his expression as if he was worshipping a god, and some gamblers gathered around to watch the fun.
These more than forty knuckles would be a huge sum of money if placed outside. Zhong Xie and the other two did not look like ferocious men, so it was natural that they would make others jealous.
However, the system liquidation came soon after, and the next five consecutive times were high and medium speeds, followed by a low speed, but the delay speed of the button changed. It no longer stopped after 4.44 seconds, but stopped after 3.8 seconds.
This half-second gap caused the pointer to land on the "Next Time" button, so Zhong Xie stretched and stood up from his seat.
It was pretty much as he thought, they were indeed under surveillance by the venue, and the other party couldn't afford to play with them, so they directly modified the background of the machine, making it impossible for him to make any profit with this game console.
Not only that, he also called me "38". Did he really think I couldn't notice it?
Don't underestimate hamsters' sense of time.
Zhong Xie held a grudge again, glanced at the surveillance camera above the game console area, and said nothing more.
From the outside, it seems difficult to understand why "human fingers" are regarded as wealth in this venue. According to Li Hao's words, the venue has almost everything. As long as you have fingers, all problems will not be a problem.
"Let's go upstairs." Zhong Xie put away his fingers and prepared to take Shen Junyi and Li Hao upstairs to take a look.
The guy in the dark wouldn't let him make money this way, and Zhong Xie didn't know what to do now, so he simply went upstairs to check the situation. "Hey, brother, you look unfamiliar, you must be new here, so I'll take you here for two days, and go upstairs to enjoy yourself."
As Zhong Xie and the other two were about to leave, a burly man walked out from the crowd of gamblers. His left hand was bare, with only four fingers left on his right hand. He came up and put his arm around Zhong Xie's shoulders, looking very familiar.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the unique bad breath from years of smoking and not brushing his teeth filled Zhong Xie's stomach. Although the big man smiled on the surface, he quietly exerted force with his hands, trying to use force to force Zhong Xie to submit.
"He..." Li Hao became anxious upon seeing this. He didn't care about Zhong Xie's safety, but his hope of survival depended on the finger bag in Zhong Xie's hand.
Shen Junyi stretched out his hand to stop Li Hao, without even looking at Zhong Xie, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.
The next second, the big man found himself flying inexplicably and sitting in front of the game console.
Zhong Xie held his shoulder with one hand and pushed his right hand towards the coin slot with the other. With a crisp "click", the big man's fingers were cut off by the sharp rotating blades in the coin slot, but Zhong Xie kept pushing his hand in until he had placed three consecutive bets.
"What are you doing?!" The big man pulled his hand out. His right hand was already covered in blood, which was shocking to look at. His face was distorted by pain.
"Hurry up and play. Do you want me to help you play?" Zhong Xie glared at him. The fierce look that came out of a rat's nest made the big man stick to the chair obediently, not daring to move.
Zhong Xie snorted coldly, pushed away these guys who had the intention but not the courage to commit crimes, and followed Shen Junyi's steps.
"Brother, are you... so powerful?" Li Hao saw the whole process. He didn't expect that Zhong Xie could throw this strong man into the air with ease. This visual impact was much more shocking than a normal fight.
"Well, this guy has no hair on his body, so I slipped. Fortunately, I'm not heavy, so I didn't sprain my hand." Zhong Xie rubbed his hands.
He was not wrong, because he usually played with Kuster, and Kuster's feel was much better than that of this big guy.
Going up to the second floor, the noisy sound from outside disappeared completely. The environment here was bright, and the doors of the boxes were closed. At the door of each box there was a waiter with a polite smile, ready to serve the VIPs in the box at any time.
Zhong Xie's gaze passed through the wide corridor and saw a lobby in front of him. The floor and walls were made of white marble, with some black leather sofas and brown solid wood tables and chairs scattered around.
There were three sweet girls who looked exactly the same at the lobby reception desk. They were wearing neat uniforms and standing there left, middle and right. They seemed to have noticed the gazes of Zhong Xie and Shen Junyi, and the three of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at them with even sweeter smiles.
"What's there to do on the second floor?" Zhong Xie turned around and asked Li Hao, "Why is it so boring to look at it like Shang K?"
He thought that the second floor would be a huge arena, with thunderous cheers from the audience and strange stories on the arena making the fights exciting.
I didn't expect this to be the case when I really got here.
However, before Li Hao could answer, the attendant who passed by Li Hao began to answer on his own: "Hello, Mr. Zhong Xie, the second floor is the VIP area. The services in the private rooms can be customized freely. Our services include all the entertainment items you can think of on the market, including the KTV service you mentioned. After entering the private room, you can do anything."
Zhong Xie raised his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong. When had he ever revealed his name?
"Yes, that's about it." Li Hao nodded and added in a low voice, "It's a pity that I've never been in there. I only heard that it's a paradise on earth and a feast for the sea and sky."
This sentence did not wait for the servant's response. She just bowed slightly, as if waiting for Zhong Xie's next question.
"It's still not right. Do you know who they are?" Zhong Xie frowned and pointed at Shen Junyi and Li Hao.
The attendant still had a stiff smile on his face: "They are both distinguished guests brought by Mr. Zhong Xie, so they naturally enjoy the same treatment."
You don’t know Shen Junyi’s name but you know my name?
The alarm bell in Zhong Xie's heart suddenly rang: "I am on your VIP list? Why?"
"boom--"
As soon as this question was asked, the door of the box next to it was suddenly pushed open, and an armless man in black stockings and a school uniform ran out of the box with a look of horror on his face, bypassing Zhong Xie and the other two and running towards the lobby.
"Help...help me!"
The armless man's face and body were covered with something like essential oil. Every step he took left yellowish oily footprints on the ground. He shouted hysterically in an attempt to get help.
However, the next second the fishing line on his feet stretched straight and pulled him to the ground, and a beautiful but strong woman slid out of the box.
She sat on two men whose upper bodies were connected, using them as a land boat, and the woman's legs rowed like oars, driving the land boat forward.
Since the bottom of the armless man and the land ship were both coated with a large amount of essential oil, the waterway was unusually smooth and the ship moved very quickly.
Suddenly, the woman noticed Zhong Xie and the other two standing next to the box. Her narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and she swung the fishing line in her hand towards Zhong Xie's neck.
"A healthy handsome guy who loves to have fun!" The woman laughed morbidly and pulled back the armless man who had run away with her left hand.
The fishing line came at him fiercely. Zhong Xie turned his head to avoid it, but his wrist was still caught. From this alone, he was sure that this woman was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Hit, hit!” The woman grabbed Zhong Xie’s wrist and pulled it back violently, wrestling with him. In an instant, she left a bloody mark on his wrist so deep that the bone was visible.
Shen Junyi's face changed, and even though he had no knife in his hand, he still made a chopping gesture. The next second, he was about to summon a ghost to chop at the transparent fishing line.
At this moment, the servant moved. She moved quickly, and with her left index finger she stroked the fishing line that was wrapped around Zhong Xie, immediately dissolving the line. She then picked up the line with her backhand and wrapped it around the woman's neck.
He flew to the woman's back, pressed her body, and strangled her neck. The servant looked up at Zhong Xie, still maintaining that effortless smile: "Mr. Zhong Xie, do you like Ms. Zhang?"
"I don't like it." Zhong Xie moved his wrist. It didn't hurt, maybe because there was an anesthetic component in the fishing line, but it started to bleed as soon as he moved it.
At this moment, I kind of miss Jiang Shuran's big mouth that can stop bleeding.
"Okay." The servant exerted a little force, and Ms. Zhang's head rolled down. Even after death, her eyes were still open in disbelief, as if she didn't understand why she, a distinguished guest, could die so hastily.
At this time, the attendant began to answer Zhong Xie's previous question: "You are the young dean of Jinchuan Hospital, so you are naturally on our VIP list."
I've heard so much about the dean and vice-dean, what does this young dean mean?
Could it be that the old guy passed the information about Jinchuan Hospital to me?
But am I not a patient?
Who the hell leaves inheritance to a client?
Zhong Xie's mind was full of question marks, but his face remained calm:
"Yes, it's me."
I haven't finished yesterday's work yet, so I'll update it first. I'm really sorry QAQ
