Life Dungeon Game

“Confident yet blindly reckless rookie,” Ludo chuckled as he saw Heo reveal his hole cards. He looked at Heo with his head held high and revealed his own hole cards. “The game is over. Sorry, I’m blackjack.”

A sudden silence fell over the room.

Wait, this isn't the right reaction!!

Ludo realized something was wrong.

He lowered his head, looking at his trump card, which was...

[square]

His total points are 29. Once he has more than 21 points, his points will be reset to zero.

“It seems Mr. Ludo is bad at math,” Heo said with a smile and a shrug. He walked step by step to the center of the gambling table, reached out and pulled out the dagger stuck in the center of the table. With a 'bang,' he plunged it into Ludo’s front, startling Ludo into taking a half step back.

“I don’t recommend Mr. Ludo commit suicide, after all, inciting someone to commit suicide is illegal,” he left the dagger in front of Ludo, then looked at Victor, “May we go in now?”

Ludo stared in horror at the dagger stuck in front of him.

He blankly flipped the [Q of Diamonds] over, and just by looking at the pattern on the back, his prosthetic eye still concluded that it was [2 of Diamonds].

"No, no," countless images echoed in his mind. He suddenly recalled the shot He Ao fired with the toy gun, the plastic bullet hitting the back of the card. He looked at He Ao in horror, "Was it at that time?! How did you do that?"

He changed the pattern on the back of this card!

How did He Ao know?! How did he do it?! Even lasers couldn't change those patterns!

Endless questions filled Ludo's mind.

He Ao could tell what was puzzling from the look in his eyes.

Ordinary damage can't be changed, but martial arts 'energy' can.

The patterns on the back of [Q] and [2] are not much different. You just need to expel the energy from your body, attach it to the bullets of the toy gun, calculate the explosion time, and hit the right spot to change the shape of the pattern.

In fact, Heo did not completely change the pattern, but made it more similar to [2 squares]. However, he guessed that Ludo did not have the ability to remember such complex patterns and must have relied on machine assistance. Machine recognition must have a certain margin of error.

Ultimately, he wasn't entirely confident that he could change the pattern. It wasn't until he saw Ludo's increasingly confident expression that he was certain his changes had worked.

Every step he took was planned. For example, if he didn't look at his cards, Ludo would also be too embarrassed to look at his cards. He would also use his nervous demeanor to cover up the fact that he was breathing rapidly to absorb energy, thus justifying the subsequent shooting.

This gamble has never slipped out of his control.

Heo looked at the bewildered and confused Ludo and smiled. Just as Ludo thought Heo was about to explain his actions in detail, Heo whispered, "It's a secret."

"you!"

Ludo was so angry that his blood rushed to his head, and he lost his balance for a moment.

“Young man, the FBI isn’t the right fit for you,” Victor clapped lightly. “Interested in switching jobs? We don’t make much here, but earning over ten thousand a week is easy.”

I only make 800 a week...

He smacked his lips, then shook his head with a smile, "Mr. Victor, please let us in first."

"it is good!"

Victor clapped his hands, summoning a square-faced man with a long scar covering almost his entire left cheek. Victor instructed the man, "Take them to the highest point of the casino."

The scarred man paused for a moment after hearing Victor's words. He looked at Heo and Selena, and finally nodded, extending his hand, "Please come with me, both of you."

"I wish you success in your mission."

Victor smiled, watched Heo and Selena leave, and then turned his gaze to Ludo.

The betting game was quick, lasting less than ten minutes. Ludo was sitting dejectedly in his chair when he saw Victor looking at him. He said nervously, "Boss, give me a chance. I can take that kid out of the game."

"I am willing to admit defeat."

Viktor smiled and shook his head, then pulled the dagger from the table.

-

The scarred man led He Ao and the other man into the VIP area, and then walked along the edge of the VIP area, passing several elevators along the way. They did not seem to be going up.

What is the highest point in the casino?

He Ao leaned against Selena and asked with some confusion.

“It’s the monitoring room,” Selena answered softly, “‘Standing high’”

"See everything," is casino slang.

He Ao began to understand: the casino 'didn't' have surveillance, but they had a 'highest point' that could see the entire casino.

Although it may seem like a pointless exercise, they can use it to refuse the government's request to access surveillance footage.

Just as He was pondering, Selena suddenly leaned closer, her soft chest almost touching He's arm.

······

Did this girl get a prosthetic body? How come the realism is so much higher this time compared to the last one?

“Ander, don’t be so impulsive in the future. Threatening to kill people and gambling with your life. You have a long life ahead of you and many wonderful experiences to come. Don’t ruin yourself for one or two scumbags in society.”

Selena didn't realize she was almost touching Heo; her tone was like that of a kind older sister advising her impetuous younger brother.

He looked at Selena's beautiful face, only gave a slight smile, and said nothing.

"You still don't take this seriously?" Selena rubbed her temples. "You've messed with Ludo now. That guy is notoriously vengeful. Even if he faces trial for selling illegal drugs, given the efficiency of the Dawn City Court, it will be at least a month from now."

But his retaliation might come tonight. Since you haven't found a place to stay yet, I'll prepare an office for you tonight; you can stay at the FBI office for now.

“Thank you,” Heo looked at Selena’s earnest face, smiled gently, and then added, “He won’t retaliate against me.”

"Ok?"

Selena was somewhat puzzled.

Because he won't live past tonight.

Heo turned his gaze to the bustling VIP area of ​​the casino. Back when Victor first appeared, Heo had sensed Victor's murderous intent towards Ludo. The feeling of wanting to kill someone cannot be hidden, so Heo conveniently provided Victor with a reasonable excuse.

As a witness to the bet, it is reasonable for Victor to execute the final wager and end the loser's life.

Just then, a red figure came into He Ao's field of vision.

“Selena, I can’t help with the surveillance footage, but I think I’ve found some other clues. If you find Mu Xiu, just contact me.”

With that, he rushed into the casino.

-

"Boss, please give me a chance."

Ludo knelt in a cubicle on the lower level of the casino, the steel dagger lying on the ground. He looked up at Victor, tears streaming down his face, and said, "You've been in prison for so many years, and I've been managing the casino for you with all my heart. I deserve credit for my hard work, even if I haven't done anything special."

“I gave you a chance, and you have to accept the consequences,” Victor glanced at the dagger lying on the ground, then took out a finely crafted pistol, slowly screwed on the silencer, and gently pressed the muzzle against Ludo’s forehead. “I will take good care of your wife and children for you.”

boom--

With a sharp, faint gunshot, Ludo opened his eyes wide and fell to the cold floor, his crimson blood slowly spreading.

"Boss, those people who colluded with the conglomerate with Ludo?"

A gaunt and sinister-looking man emerged from the shadows behind him.

“I killed all the gang members who betrayed us,” Victor said, pulling out a cigar, cutting off both ends, and putting it in his mouth. “I’m out now, and the Money Rat Gang is still my Money Rat Gang.”

The sinister-looking man struck a cigar match and placed it under Victor's cigar; the strong tobacco leaves emitted flickering red light under the heat of the flame.

“You’ve worked hard all these years,” Victor sighed. “From now on, I’ll be leaving the management of the Crown Casino to you.”

"It should be done."

The sinister-looking man answered calmly, then slowly retreated into the shadows.

The dim light shone on Viktor's face, half in light and half in shadow.

The thick smoke from the cigar rose slowly, blurring the boundary between light and darkness.

Just then, Victor suddenly remembered something. He looked at the sinister man and asked, "How many children does Ludo have?"

"He has no children, he is not married, and he has two lovers, one of whom he changes every three months."

The sinister-looking man answered calmly.

A long silence fell over the room. After what seemed like an eternity, Viktor finally took the cigar from his mouth.

“This guy asks me for an extra share of the profits every year, saying it's for baby formula.”

"He himself prefers to drink milk, and his mistresses are usually other men's wives or women who have just given birth and have full breasts."

The sinister-looking man added slowly.

Victor: ......

He picked up his gun and fired another shot at Ludo's body.

He Ao's figure moved through the crowd in the casino, but he heard Selena's voice in his ear, "You... there is a miniature tracking device under the metal buckle of your combat uniform pants, sewn to the left side of the buckle. If you want to track someone, you can pull off this tracking device. The device has adhesive backing, so you can stick it to her car or clothes. Be careful."

The sound was coming from the glasses Selena had given him, which had a bone conduction headset attached to the frame.

"Thank you."

He Ao nodded slightly, pretending to be a gambler as he walked between the gambling tables. His left hand rested on his trousers, and he casually tore open the fabric on the left side of the metal buckle, revealing a metal piece no bigger than a little fingernail in his hand.

He held the metal piece between his fingers and walked step by step toward the woman in the red bodycon skirt.

This was the second time He had seen her; the first time was at the hot dog stand when he saw the woman enter the casino.

Although this woman and Mu Xiu seemed to have no connection, He Ao subconsciously felt that this woman possessed some kind of special quality.
