Collapse: Chasing Fire Studio

"...people often experience the deepest darkness before the dawn."

"But I fell down at that time... Isn't everything before that, all the efforts before it meaningless?"

I shook my head and grasped Situ Xiao's trembling little hand.

"Smile, you must remember. Throughout the ages, countless people have gone to hell before dawn, and countless people have burned their lives... But now we are standing here."

"The meaning of the life of the dead is given by the living."

"Smile, even for that first bird, you must live well, live well."

"...Mr. Captain, thank you." Situ Xiao relaxed his body, gently placed his head on my shoulder, and closed his eyes.

I smiled in relief, and was about to stretch out a hand to hug Situ Xiao's shoulder...

Hua stared at me quietly with bright gray eyes, and folded his hands on his chest, as if to say, "You can do it yourself."

"..."

Resting on my shoulder for a while, Situ laughed out a mouthful of orchid-like fragrance, suddenly stretched out his arms to wrap around my neck, and then gently kissed my earlobe with his soft lips.

"The site of the experiment is underground in the Star Picking Building. Also... be careful of Weiwei and Cheng Yao."

I couldn't help trembling in my heart, Situ Xiao's voice was as light as the wings of mosquitoes and flies, but it still reached my ears, but just when I wanted to ask her for more information...

Situ Xiao blocked mine with his red lips.

Chapter 448

"...Hua, don't be angry, will I treat you to dinner?"

In Jiu Qingshan's car, I sat in the driver's seat, while Hua sat in the right back row, which was also the farthest position from me.

"I'm not angry." Hua glanced at me coldly through the rearview mirror in front of the car.

"What are you going to do next?"

"……What do you mean?"

"Situ Xiao should have told you some confidential information, right?"

"...Hmm." I hesitated for a while, then nodded.Hua can be said to be my teammate now, and also the biggest help I have by my side.The information I got should have been shared with her.

"Situ laughed and told me that Qingyun's largest casino, the Star Reaching Tower, is the Southern Army's experimental base. In addition, she told me to be extra careful about Cheng Yao and Weiwei."

"Hua, now I will tell you everything I deduced." I took a deep breath.

"The Southern Legion and the Wei family should have reached some kind of alliance. They conducted an experiment. First, they selected experimental subjects with potential second consciousness, that is, invisible patients with split personalities, and used artificial means to forcibly activate the external body."

"And the five people who defeated the five sages of Taixu are the products of this experiment."

"Then why did Yue Cheng, Mo Yi, and Jiu Qingshan react differently from Situ Xiao?" Hua Liu frowned slightly, "Mr. Captain, you should have seen it too. Yue Cheng, Mo Yi, and Jiu Qingshan are very different. It is obvious that they have not mastered their bodies, and their "qi" and "momentum" are far less strong than Situ Xiao."

"Hua, didn't you say before that there are two kinds of results for the external body, one is that the self-consciousness cuts off the external body, and the other is that the external body dominates, which in turn suppresses the self-consciousness."

"I infer that there are disadvantages in the external body made by artificial means like the Southern Army. And this disadvantage is that only when the second consciousness controls the body, the ability of the external body will be manifested. And the self consciousness is in contact with the second consciousness. When consciousness conflicts, it will occupy a large degree of advantage, which is why Jiu Qingshan and Yue Cheng only have fragments of amnesia."

"It stands to reason that Situ Xiao's self-consciousness should also cut off the second consciousness, but... due to her previous tragic experience, the self-consciousness gave up the expectation of life and voluntarily withdrew from the competition, so instead the second consciousness Consciousness dominates the body. It is precisely because of these various coincidences that Situ Xiao managed to control the body outside the body."

I breathed out lightly, "Hua, I'm going to check on the situation of Wei's family."

"you mean?"

"Thousands of generals, catch the stars and look at the sky."…………………………………

The lights are on, and night falls.However, surrounded by high-rise buildings, there is a labyrinth-shaped building that covers an area comparable to a giant square.However, although it looks like a maze, it is actually a base camp built by Qianmen people based on the battle map left by Piancai God Han Xin.

The reason why Han Xin is called the "God of Wealth" is actually because many gambling methods and gambling tools that have been circulated among the people are derived from games invented by Han Xin in order to reduce the depression of the army when he led the army to fight and lead the army across mountains and rivers.Therefore, even if Han Xin is called the ancestor of the Qianmen people, there are certain arguments.

Although Qianmen does not set up various positions like the other eight outer schools, every once in a while, it will hold a "star picking meeting", where they will compete with each other in thousands of skills, and the so-called "star picking list" will be ranked according to the level of thousands of skills.And this grand star-catching building is the venue for the "Star-picking Party". On weekdays, it is also Qingyun's largest casino.

Compared with other places, there is an advantage of gambling in the "Zhaixing Tower", that is, the "Zhaixing Tower" claims that it will never pay a thousand dollars.The various gambling games here are spread all over the world, and thousands of hands are used as bright lights and dark lights (the bright lights and dark lights are the staff of the casino to catch cheaters, the difference between the two is that the bright lights wear work clothes, while the dark lights are disguised as gamblers and mix in the crowd), and those who are caught cheating will directly cut off a hand according to the rules of the thousand doors.But if you succeed and are not caught, you can apply for a demonstration to the official staff of the casino.If the demonstration is successful, he will be hired by the casino at a high price as a guest secretary.

I stood at the entrance of the building and looked up at the nineteen-story tower in the center of the maze, feeling a little sad in my heart.

"It is said that more than 40 years ago, the Wei family came out with a thousand emperors. He was unpredictable with a thousand skills. He went all the way from the bottom of this building to the nineteenth floor, snatching more than 20 billion in cash, and sprinkled it all on the top of the nineteenth floor." Jiu Qingshan looked at the roof of the building, and his beautiful eyes could not help showing a look of yearning.

According to legend, that night, Qingyun started to rain banknotes, and the whole city, old and young, flocked to shout for the gods to show their spirits.

After that night, Qianzhong Emperor Wei Jiahe became famous, and the Outer Bamen officially stepped onto the stage of the group of heroes under the leadership of Qianmen.

40 years ago, it was an era when the country was not dead, and it was also an era when heroes were born in large numbers.Li Jingqiu, Yun Xuanxi, Yun Suxi, Mrs. Jian, the three sages of the Su family, and the two immortal masters from Taixu who have become saints...

But even in that era of shining stars, Qianzhong Emperor Wei Jiahe was one of the most shining stars.Wei Jiahe is not only good at thousands of arts, but also proficient in the layout of warlords. The warlord force he has established can even be said to be the strongest under the command of the Immortal Master.

But such a character ended up having his hands and feet cut off, and his eyes gouged out to a miserable end.

"I heard... Wei Jiahe had a bet with Grandma Xuan, and he lost." Hua Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously also very curious about the past.Although Yun Xuanxi was powerful, when it came to Qianshu, Wei Jiahe, as the emperor of Qianzhong, should have no reason to lose.

I heard Hua's question, and looked at Jiuqingshan next to me, but didn't give too much explanation.

Wei Jiahe's Qianju has indeed reached its peak, but he absolutely shouldn't, absolutely shouldn't have taken the north's idea.

For the sake of the stability and unification of the north, the core lineage of the ship family is almost extinct, and 40 soldiers are buried in northern Xinjiang.And when peace was finally ushered in, suddenly a person appeared and wanted to tear a hole in the northern system.

Not to mention that Wei Jiahe lost in the end, even if he won, grandma would never allow the Wei family to open the casino to the north.To save Wei Jiahe's life and go back, it is because of his meritorious service in fighting the enemy. .

"The purpose of our visit this time is to win a huge amount of money in this casino, and see if we can force out the core figures of the Wei Family." I said softly.Although Situ Xiao told me before that the Southern Army was conducting experiments under the Star Picking Tower.But in fact, for the current situation... In fact, whether the Southern Army conducted human experiments is not the key to the problem.Not to mention that Situ's family and Wei's family might have already dealt with the scene.

Everyone in the Huang Kingdom has zero tolerance for "treason", but when it comes to human experimentation...in fact, every military region is a bit dirty.Even if this matter is confirmed, at most the Situ family will push out a scapegoat for public outrage.

Out of the interests of the ship family, there is a high probability that the writers of the ship family will turn a blind eye and close one eye.

The main purpose of my family asking me to come here this time is actually to find out what happened in the south. As for the rest, it depends on the situation.

"...But Captain, do any of us know a thousand skills?" To be honest, Hua was a little puzzled, what if we lose everything?

"Don't worry about that, just follow me later." I waved my hand, then put my arms around the shoulders of the two little girls one by one, and walked into the "Zhaixing Building" swaggeringly.

The original words that Situ Xiao told me were: "The site of the experiment is underground in the Zhaixing Building. In addition...be careful of Weiwei and Cheng Yao."

In fact, there is another message in it, that is...

Weiwei and Cheng Yao are hiding in the "Star Reaching Pavilion".

Chapter 449 Dice

There are countless gambling games in Zhaixing Building, such as traditional dice, poker, flower cards, shaking points, or new slot machines, skipping tickets, or betting on horses, worms, chickens, dogs...

I took Hua and Jiu Qingshan to a dice field first, and I didn't rush to participate, but stood by and watched, wanting to familiarize myself with the rules here.

There is one thing that Hua guessed correctly, not only do I not know how to play thousands of skills, but to be precise, I am actually quite weak when it comes to gambling. Even Patuo, who has learned a few thousand skills casually, can beat me to death.

The rules of the dice field here are also simple, you can bet on specific points, and you can bet on the size, but if the dealer rolls a leopard (three sixes), then the dealer takes all.

I distributed 100 million chips to Hua and Jiu Qingshan each, and let them watch the pressure by themselves, while I took 800 million chips to wait for the opportunity.

The croupier bowed slightly, first showed the gambling equipment, and then put the three dice into the black dice cup...

Swipe, swipe, swipe...

I listened carefully to the sound of the dice hitting the dice wall. It is said that due to the different patterns on the surface of the dice, there will be slight differences in the sound of the dice when they fall. ..

. . . . . .

I was speechless for a while, but I still pretended to be arrogant, and directly pushed the 300 million chips to the place that symbolized "small".

The croupier waited until the betting was over, then bowed slightly, and opened Heizi's dice cup.

The three dice are "5", "1", and "2".

"Okay! I'm really lucky today!" I cheerfully picked up Jiu Qingshan's waist and put her on my lap.The bet is 300 to [-], that is to say, just now I won [-] million directly.

"Xiaoqingshan, tell me, what should I press next?" I put my head on Jiuqingshan's shoulder, and the corner of my mouth was filled with a villain's triumphant smile.

"...Squeeze the big one." Jiu Qingshan blushed slightly, looked up at me, and nestled obediently in my arms.

"Okay! Let's go big!" I took out four more 100 million chips, together with the 600 million just now, a total of [-], and pushed them directly to the "big" position.

The croupier frowned, and looked at the plague god in front of him suspiciously.You know, unlike ordinary people, the masters of Qianmen can roll the dice to any number of points by listening to the dice, so gamblers always wait for the dice to be rolled before placing bets.And the person in front of him, before he rolls the dice, has already chosen whether to bet big or small...

Wait a minute... "Little Green Mountain"?The person in this idiot's arms is Jiu Qingshan? ?

The croupier's pupils shrank. Recently, the Northern Plague God's going south has caused a lot of noise in the Outer Eight Sects. I heard that this Northern Plague God is rampant and has no sex with women. The little follower who was in charge of the house snatched it up and took it as his wife.Not long ago... Someone spread the news that the God of Plague forced Situ Weisheng's daughter to go to the hotel to open a room together...

"Why? After waiting for a long time, you won't shake it?" I frowned, and looked at the dealer in front of me dissatisfied.

"Hold, I'm sorry." The croupier took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then shook the dice in his hand...

Brush, brush, brush~~

The sound of the crisp dice shaking echoed, but cold sweat broke out on the dealer's forehead.

The God of Plague's move seemed hopelessly stupid, but in fact he left the choice to the croupier.In the end is to win, or lose?Now it doesn't depend on the captain's luck and judgment, but on the croupier...

After a long time, the croupier finally stopped shaking the Gu, and then slowly opened the Gu cover... At least the venue can be reasonable, but if it offends the God of Plague. . . .

"5, 3, 3, it's big! Xiaoqingshan, you're lucky!" I smiled and grabbed Jiuqingshan's little hand and started playing with it carefully.

"It's all, it's all because of the east wind of the young master." Jiu Qingshan's pretty face was flushed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the young master's method was really dark.The name "Plague God" is indeed not without reason.

"Okay~ Xiaoqingshan can really talk~" I smiled and played with the chips in my hand, and couldn't help but sigh that this casino is indeed magical.In just ten minutes, I have already won 300 million. If this is the salary of my usual work... it is enough for me to work for several lifetimes.

The reason why some people are addicted to gambling and can't quit it is because after people have tasted the fast and easy taste of money, they can't accept the income from hard work.

"I'll give you all the money I won tonight, okay?"

"No, no, no! Young Master, we children of the rivers and lakes pay attention to repaying repayment! We will not accept other people's favors in vain!" Jiu Qingshan shook his head quickly. The captain won more than 1000 million in just ten minutes. Knowing how much she was going to win, she was not at ease after taking the money.

"Qingshan, is the young head of the family still someone else?" I made a serious face on purpose.

"No...it doesn't count..." Jiu Qingshan shrank smaller and smaller. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he raised his head and glanced at Hua next to him secretly, and found that she was staring at the gambling table coldly. It seemed that the next moment he would split the table with his palm.

"Well... Hello, sir, I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, you can change to another venue first! Sorry, sorry!"

"Ugh!"

Before I reached out to stop him, the croupier had already fled without looking back.

"Tsk, what are you afraid of?" I reluctantly picked up the chips, and took Hua and Jiu Qingshan around, and when I saw that the time was almost up, I came to a place where dragons were arranged.

The gameplay of this row of dragons is actually similar to that of dice, except that there is no dealer, but the number is randomly drawn by the machine. There are ten machines in total, each time a number is randomly drawn from one to fifty, and each number is different.The gambler first needs to buy a ticket, at least five tickets, and a maximum of fifteen tickets.The more the number on the ticket and the number popped by the machine overlap, the more you win.In addition, there are rules such as "special numbers", which will not be detailed here.

Tickets for five numbers here are ten yuan a piece, but tickets for fifteen numbers are as high as 100 yuan a piece!If you hit all ten numbers, you can get 880 for one ticket!That is almost 5 million!Even if you only win five numbers, you can get [-] yuan!
