my old life

Chapter 2278 The Peripheral World

I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. The entire left side of my face was swollen. This was not the worst time I was beaten, but it was the ugliest one.

In fact, a person with a strong heart will not do anything casually, let alone play with people casually like a little monster, just like the difference between me before and now.

In the past, when I had no skills, I could only take risks and play with others. Now I rely on my brain and routines to deal with things. After all, people always grow with time.

In fact, without the instruction of Buddha Qianxiao, would that dog basket dare to do anything to me?Don't you know how much he weighs?

I know very well that this is a game, but my heart is full of bitterness.

As the saying goes, women are the most infatuated, and women are the most ruthless.

Once I witnessed the infatuation of Buddha Qianxiao, and I was moved by her countless times. Today I saw her ruthlessness, and all the routines and means were presented in front of my eyes one by one.

I believe in my intuition and judgment, and I also believe in the advice given to me by my second uncle. It's just that I don't want to stand against her if possible...

The only thing I can't understand is why Buddha Qianxiao appeared in the Philippines. It should be just a coincidence that they met here...

After washing my face, I went to bed feeling dizzy. Before going to bed, I habitually put a water glass on the doorknob, hoping to have a good night's sleep.

I don't know how Mike will feel when he sees my left cheek tomorrow. It's inevitable that he will be beaten and killed when he comes out, but I'm already trying to stay away from that kind of life.

As the saying goes, those who drown are those who can swim. How can you not moisten your shoes when you often walk by the river?
Time flew by, and it was already six o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up, and the sun was almost setting.

The upside-down life of black and white made me mentally exhausted. I smoked a few refreshing cigarettes in a row before I recovered. Every time I woke up, I felt nausea and retching.

I knew my body clock was disrupted, and that failure to adjust after crossing regions and time zones was an unavoidable side effect.

The glass on the door has disappeared, and there is a Western-style cold meal on the table, which has obviously been patronized while I was sleeping...

I don't know where that guy Bai Xingchen is. I haven't seen him since I left Alawi Yacht Harbor, as if he disappeared from this world.

Standing at the window of the room, I found that it was on the third floor. From the window, I could clearly see a huge resort behind. Before that, I didn't pay attention to it.

In the evening, the entire resort is brightly lit, and the scale is amazing. Every villa is lit up, and there is no window with a black light.

Occasionally, groups of young people can be seen coming in and out. It seems that they are going to have dinner. I am not interested in the cold food on the table, but I want to visit this place.

When I went out, I found that the manor was deserted, and the bustle on the beach seemed to be the same as yesterday. I thought yesterday was just an accidental dinner.

Looks like there should be a beach party every night, and with some time left, I just had a chance to research this place.

Coming to the resort through the small road on the side of the manor, it doesn't feel like a single person's industry, but a lot of people gather here.

Looking around, all you can see are black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese. Young men and women speak Chinese, as if they have come to a Kyushu city.

I strolled in, and the security guards at the door didn't stop me in any way. It seemed that I was no different from the young men and women who came in and out here.

Surprisingly, there is no specialty shop in this resort, nor the imaginary snack street, but the sign of the resort is clearly hung at the door.

In the middle of the resort is a wide empty field, the ground parking lot is full of cars, and there are brightly lit places all around.

I leaned to the side and took a look. I was in a daze for a while. It looked like there were rows of computers inside, like a work room in an office building.

In the evening, all the rooms had their windows open, and none of the rooms had their curtains closed. Almost all of them saw the same scene.

There are no signs and billboards at the door, no company name or any logo, but this is indeed a resort.

I thought in my heart that I must have come to a fraud gathering place, right?

In the past, I often heard of telecommunications fraud in China. The servers were set up abroad, and then the network was widely used to carry out network fraud.

After watching for a long time, I finally understood why there are so many computers here. It turns out that this is a gathering point for online gambling!
All the huge chassis should be servers, and groups of young people are sitting in front of the computers. They don't have any intention of covering up, as if they are doing an ordinary thing here.

There are many betting pictures on the computer screen, and the pictures in each room are different, and they should belong to different online gambling companies.

I walked for a long time, and everywhere I went, there were such rooms, and it was probably the same in the small buildings with lights. I walked for a long time, but no one noticed me.

Probably because of their age and appearance, many young people passing by are similar, and occasionally they can be heard chatting.

I followed a few people and eavesdropped. They were all talking about odds and server issues, but I didn't hear who was winning and who was losing...

I followed a certain distance and turned my head to leave. I didn't expect that there would be such a huge gathering point at such a short distance from the beach, all of which are open to the public!
I don't know if online gambling is legal here, or if they can get a business license, but it all feels so natural!

I took out a cigarette and lit it, observing the appearance of the people around me to judge the terrain.

It's time for dinner in the evening, and the people walking towards me are walking leisurely, while those walking in the same direction are walking faster.

The state of a person before and after eating is completely different, especially the person who has just eaten will give people a lazy feeling, and there will be some smell in the breath.

I followed a few people with tight steps. I guessed that they must be going to eat, as long as I followed, I could find the restaurant.

After walking for about 5 minutes and entering a corridor, I realized that the place I came in just now was the back door, and the front door of the resort was in front.

There are many security guards standing on both sides of the spacious gate, and the spacious and bright resort reception center is in the middle, and the four-story small buildings on both sides should be the guest rooms.

From this direction, the resort looks much more normal, with a cafeteria on one side of the corridor and a banquet hall on the other.

Those young people all entered the banquet hall just now, and I followed to take a look. There were dozens of people in chef uniforms holding large rice spoons inside.

The entire banquet hall was full of people, basically all young people.

Everyone holds a tray in their hands and queues up to cook and eat. It looks like an internal cafeteria, and it is full of people as far as the eye can see.

At this moment, a group of young people entered the banquet hall. I saw that they did not provide any receipts. They just took the iron plates and started queuing up to eat.

I pretended to follow them and took the dinner plate, and then calmly followed the line, the last one was a 25-year-old guy.

Seeing that he looks like me, I don't know if he can speak Chinese, so I decided to make friends with him.

"Hey buddy, have you just finished your work?" I took the initiative to say hello, and the young man looked back at me.

"Well, I'm almost starving to death."

"I see you look familiar, where is your hometown?" I began to deliberately approach, as long as I can speak Chinese, it will be easy.

"Weishan Lake, how about you?"

"It's from Qilu, my hometown."

"Which boss do you work for? It looks like you must be a manager?" The young man looked me up and down, and I waved my hand immediately.

"No, I wore an extra one in the cold weather, and I have been working with the boss in the Northeast." I made up a nonsense, after all, the Northeast is wider.

"How are you doing lately?" The young man asked nonchalantly, and everyone was moving around at a slow pace, waiting for dinner.

"Recently, there is a lot of trouble checking servers and IPs. How is your side?" I learned and sold directly, and the news was just heard from someone behind me.

"It's all the same, anyway, if you check again, you can't find it here... Business is not easy now!"

"No matter what kind of business is not easy to do, there are not many people who gamble online?" I changed the subject and started to test, pretending to be very calm on the surface.

"Are you just here?" The young man's tone changed, and I was secretly nervous. Did I guess wrong?
