Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

Xu Wanyue looked at the 15 million chips, and calculated that she had already won 20 million. Lizhi said herself that all the money she won was hers. Going to Chengbei to win Lizhi before was just a mission of the alliance, but now the 20 million was real.

The clock on the wall had already pointed to eleven o'clock. Xu Wanyue decided to leave after winning another five million. Her style of doing things was very low-key, but the box of chips she was holding made it difficult for her to keep a low profile.

At half past eleven.

Two men in suits came up to her with serious and cold expressions.

"Our boss...invites you to sit upstairs. There are bigger bets there. I believe Miss Xu will be interested."

...Xu Wanyue knew that she had no chance of refusing, so she could only nod slightly and follow the two men in suits upstairs.

....................................

Sitting opposite Xu Wanyue was a girl who looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old. She was obviously not Hongshao. According to the Alliance's archives, Hongshao was already twenty-one years old this year.

The girl had slightly curly black hair draped over her shoulders. She wore a black dress that looked like a landmine, lace-up socks and small leather shoes. She looked cold, and her skin was very white, even pale, which was a little scary in the middle of the night.

The temperature was a little cold. Xu Wanyue sat opposite her, and the other party spoke slowly.

"Let's make a bet."

"What do you want to play?" Xu Wanyue tried hard to keep her expression calm.

For the past ten years, she has been an ordinary unlucky college student. It was only in the past two years since she joined the alliance that she received some basic psychological training and some simple gambling skills training.

"It's up to you." The girl spoke slowly, and then the man in a suit behind her opened a chip box, which contained a full 50 million chips.

If it was up to Xu Wanyue to decide, what she would most want was of course to roll the dice, and it would be best if she were the one to do it. Lin Cheng's game rules were too favorable to her at the beginning, so she agreed to Lin Cheng immediately. Now thinking about it, Lin Cheng was probably setting a trap for her at that time.

So Xu Wanyue told the other party the rules that Lin Cheng had proposed to her, trying to test the other party's bottom line. The other party looked at her, and what made Xu Wanyue uneasy was that the other party actually nodded in acceptance very quickly.

"One game, 10 million. We play ten games in total."

Xu Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then she looked at her 30 million chips, "I only have 30 million here."

"If you lose everything, I'll give you two hours to collect the money. Accept? Or refuse?"

"What if I say no?"

The girl opposite suddenly grinned.

"The Garden pays enough dividends to the Alliance every year, and we have also received permission from those in high positions. Your visit to our casino is a private act and is not within the jurisdiction of the Alliance. Casinos have their own rules, and no one can win 30 million in two nights through normal means. If we let you go like this, it would be against the rules, so you have no right to refuse."

Xu Wanyue knew it was like this. If you are not allowed to refuse, why are you still asking? Xu Wanyue complained in her heart.

She could only sigh helplessly, "What if I win?"

"If you win, you can take all the money." The girl's voice was morbidly cold. She looked like a large porcelain doll. For some reason, when Xu Wanyue saw her eyes, she felt a little uneasy.

She immediately adjusted her mindset. Showing weakness in a gambling game was a big taboo, not to mention that she still had no idea of ​​her luck. She only knew that the more she desired luck, the more luck would give her in return.

The rules were the same as last time with Lin Cheng. Xu Wanyue picked up the dice and shook it. As a person with special abilities, she was particularly sensitive to energy. If the dice was still driven by energy after it landed, everyone at the gambling table would notice it.

This eliminates the possibility of cheating.

It was raining heavily outside, but the window was open. The temperature was a little damp and cold. Fortunately, Xu Wanyue was wearing more clothes today. She wore a white pullover and sky blue jeans, covering herself tightly, because when Grape warned her that day, the cold light in his eyes always made her feel inexplicably chilled.

She had seen similar people in the league, and only those with blood on their hands would have that kind of look. But of all the people she had met in the league... she had never seen anyone with such a cold look and temperament as Grape.

Xu Wanyue always had a weird intuition. Her superior asked her to choose clothes that showed her feminine charm when she came to the casino. But until now when she joined the organization, there was only one man, Lin Cheng.

Suddenly, there was a sound of thunder outside the window, followed by a flash of lightning. Xu Wanyue reached out and grabbed the dice cup, shaking the two dice one by one, but after a moment, her eyes widened and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Her luck... was gone.

Luck is a mysterious intuition. She can rely on this intuition to sense the existence of luck. But after that thunder, she suddenly realized that she had lost the perception of luck again. It was completely different from the psychological suggestion last time. This time she was completely convinced of her luck. It was clearly always around her, but from the last second, it suddenly... disappeared without a trace.

Just as Lin Cheng said before, when she lost her luck, all she had left was... misfortune.

There is no way to retreat, so you can only go all out.

Xu Wanyue chose the dice based on her intuition, opened it, and saw that the total number of the five dice was five.

The other dice showed twelve, and the girl on the other side won.

Her lips moved slightly, and at this moment, it seemed as if her lips were also slightly pale, but she did not reveal the slightest smile, "I won, the game continues."

Xu Wanyue pushed out the 10 million chips in front of her. After a moment's silence, the second game began. But this time, she had no choice but to pray in her heart that the luck that had disappeared for some reason would come back soon.

She quickly lost the second and third games. The chips in front of her were all gone. She looked at the girl in front of her and smiled tentatively, "How about... I go back and raise some money first, and come back next time?"

The girl raised her eyes slightly, looked at her calmly, and then said, "You can leave only after the game is over. There are still seven rounds to go."

Xu Wanyue gritted her teeth slightly.

Although her luck was rated as A-level by the alliance, her combat ability was just average, and there was no way she could escape from here. She glanced at the girl opposite her. Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask this, she still lowered her voice and said, "Is there no room for negotiation?"

"No." The girl looked at her cheek calmly, "I like your eyes very much."

Xu Wanyue was startled, and just wanted to chat with the other party with a smile, but the other party continued, "If you can't pay the gambling money later, I'll offer you 10 million for your two eyes."

Xu Wanyue's pupils dilated.

20 I'll wait for you

　one hour later.

Now Xu Wanyue's face was probably paler than the girl opposite. She slumped in the chair, staring at the dice in front of her. She could no longer tell whether the other party was cheating or she was hit by bad luck. She had not won a single game in these ten games and had lost all of them. She had done her best to delay time and called for luck, but luck seemed to have completely disappeared. She was sure that she was not being psychologically hinted, and that was why she was becoming more and more panicked at this moment.

She already owes 70 million in gambling debts.

"The game is over, please choose your payment method." The girl opposite stared at her eyes, her pink tongue brushing across the corner of her mouth. This action made Xu Wanyue's heart seem to tighten for a moment. The scene of having her eyes dug out appeared in her mind, and her body trembled again, "I, I'll make a phone call..."

"Please."

Xu Wanyue took out her cell phone and dialed Lizhi's number. The call was not connected for a long time. Xu Wanyue's heart was pounding along with the ringing sound. The whole room was silent, with only the ringing phone.

Fortunately, at the thirty-fifth second, Lizhi's voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"what happened?"

"I, I lost..."

"Lost? How did you lose?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how she won me... But I never won once, I lost... 70 million, if, if she can't give it, she wants my eyes..."

Lizhi was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. "But we don't have 70 million left in our organization."

For some reason, Xu Wanyue always felt that there seemed to be a smile in Lizhi's voice. She looked up blankly at the heavy rain outside the window, and suddenly something seemed to flash through her head.

If, if Lizhi had guessed that she was an undercover agent in the fruit shop, then...she sent herself to the north of the city. If she made a mistake, she would have no reason to save her.

"I, don't have 70 million either. I... I am also a member of the organization. Litchi, you can't do this to me..."

Lizhi's voice on the other end of the phone was very gentle. "But some time ago, all our liquid funds were really used to invest in movies. Now the total amount does not exceed 20 million... How about you dig out your eyes and give them to her first, and when our movie makes a profit in a while, we will redeem them for you, and I will find a healer to take them back for you?"

Xu Wanyue's heart felt like broken glass at this moment.

She held her breath, her throat tightened, "You...can't do this..."

Lizhi on the other end of the phone was helpless, "But I didn't expect you to lose... This is your own mission failure. It's not that we don't want to help you pay, but there's really no other way. How about you think about the method I just mentioned?"

Across the phone, Xu Wanyue suddenly imagined Lizhi's playful smile.

Xu Wanyue looked up at the girl opposite her and said slowly, "Can you...give me a little more time? I will definitely raise 70 million for you within a week."

The girl shook her head. "An hour at most."

Xu Wanyue took out her cell phone, hung up Lizhi's call, and tried to find the person in her alliance, but the number she called was invalid. Well, in the past, it was the other party who contacted her every time, so how could she have the qualifications to report the news actively?

At this moment, Xu Wanyue could only try desperate methods. She dialed another number and put it close to her ear, "Xiaoxiao...you haven't slept yet..."

"No, I'm watching a show. Kamen Rider is super cool."

"Well, let me ask you something..."

"what?"

"Can you... lend me 70 million?"

"Is this some new prank?" The woman on the other end of the phone was particularly surprised. "I only have 70,000 yuan on me right now... Do you want it?"

Xu Wanyue's cell phone slipped from her hand and fell on the table. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and tried hard to think of a countermeasure, but her mind was a mess at the moment and she couldn't think of any suitable solution.

She was not good at these delicate calculations, and even the gambling skills were learned under duress. Her previous easy victories made her unaware of the true meaning of gambling.

You can gain everything at any time, or you can lose everything at any time. This is the reason why countless gamblers continue to gamble and become addicted.

The girl on the other end of the phone, whom she called Xiaoxiao, was still talking, but she didn't have time to explain or chat with her at the moment. The attitude of the alliance was already very clear. As an undercover agent, she couldn't get the help of the alliance because of this matter, but none of her relatives and friends could help her at this moment.

Xu Wanyue's life is very fragmented. She chose to join the alliance when she was eighteen years old. Before that, she had been living the life of an ordinary female college student. Her parents died very early, and she and her sister have depended on each other since childhood. She grew up in her uncle's house. Her uncle is an old man who runs a restaurant. He is very good to her and her sister, but her uncle's restaurant only makes tens of thousands of yuan a year.

A figure suddenly appeared in her mind, with a relaxed and slightly frivolous smile.

..............................

"Your hands are also very beautiful." The girl opposite suddenly said, "It can also be worth five million. The two hands together... ten million. You just need to collect another fifty million."

Apparently, it was because Xu Wanyue's embarrassed and desperate look was too obvious, which made the girl opposite easily aware of her fragility. She said this in a joking tone. Xu Wanyue looked at her hands. She had a slender frame and long fingers. She had just done a lovely manicure a few days ago.

Xu Wanyue suddenly felt that she had no strength left in her body.

Two hands and a pair of eyes are worth 20 million. Anyone would probably think carefully about whether to change them. Xu Wanyue smiled self-deprecatingly. When she was 18 years old, an old man said he would spend 20,000 a month to support her. She took the wine and splashed it on the old man's face. It seems that her decision at that time was correct. Now her hands and eyes are so valuable.

Xu Wanyue had a bitter smile on her face. She slowly picked up her phone and called Lizhi again, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. After a long while, Lizhi answered again, "What's the matter? I've been helping you raise money, but so far I've only raised 20 million..."

"I want Lin Cheng's phone number." Xu Wanyue suddenly said.

"He's a very busy man. He might be lying on some woman right now."

Apparently, Lizhi's weird temper wasn't only activated when she was face to face with Lin Cheng. Xu Wanyue bit her lips tightly, her voice trembling, "I want his phone number..."

"Okay, okay, I'll send it to you later."

Xu Wanyue quickly received the number sent by Lizhi. She tried to call Lin Cheng, but unfortunately... the call was not connected.

Xu Wanyue called again, but still no answer.

The girl opposite suddenly spoke slowly, "Did the fruit shop ask you to come?"

Xu Wanyue looked up at her. The girl had a cold expression on her face. "The fruit shop didn't let the people we sent out easily. Our casino has been open in City A for so many years, and you took our cakes without even saying hello. So... unfortunately, we won't show you mercy either."

"You can leave alive tonight. Of course, you have to leave something behind. Don't be too scared. I just want your eyes and hands... I will keep them well. If you have money one day, you can redeem them."

Xu Wanyue looked at her arms and eyes. Endless fear surrounded her at this moment. After losing her eyes and hands, would the fruit shop continue to take her in? Would they really help her out? How would she make the 70 million yuan then?

Only then did she suddenly realize that she was abandoned. Perhaps the alliance did not care that much about her safety, and the fruit shop did not really care about her. The reason for all this was her stupidity. It was her stupidity that led to this situation. If a smarter woman came, perhaps she would not have ended up in this situation?

But she couldn't just become a useless waste. Her sister was still waiting for her on the hospital bed. She swore to herself that she would make her sister wake up again and let her... live!

What should we do? Xu Wanyue, think of a way, what should we do? There must be a way to break the impasse. The Alliance must have its reasons for defining this undercover mission as SS-level. They should not give up on this only hidden line. Why can't they get in touch... Is it because of bad luck? No... There must be a way... Don't give up, Xu Wanyue, don't... give up.

..............................

The cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Xu Wanyue was startled. She took the phone blankly, answered it, and put it close to her ear, afraid that she would miss a word. It was Lin Cheng's voice on the other end of the phone, and he complained, "Who calls in the middle of the night? How uncultured."

"I, I'm Xu Wanyue."

"Oh... can't sleep late at night? How do you know I'm a responsible man?" Upon hearing Xu Wanyue's restrained voice, Lin Cheng's complaining tone just now disappeared, and he suddenly became a lot gentler, with a bit of teasing.

"I... was on a mission and lost 70 million in a casino in the north of the city. I have no money left. Lizhi said that the organization has no money now, so..."

"How much?" Lin Cheng took a breath.

"Seventy million."

"The total balance on my card is no more than 7,000 yuan. What did Lizhi say?"

"She said that the organization's recent money has been used to invest in filming... and asked me to... think of a way... but, but I have no other choice, they want my eyes and hands... Lin Cheng... save me..."

Xu Wanyue's voice was already filled with tears, mixed with the sound of heavy rain outside the window.

"Lin Cheng... please... I have no other choice... I have no other choice..."

　Lin Cheng sighed helplessly, "Seventy million, how did you lose, sister?"

"I don't know. My luck seems to be invalid, and only bad luck is left. I, I didn't want to continue gambling, but they didn't give me time to leave... I don't know what to do... Lin Cheng..."

"I finally fell asleep. I've been suffering from insomnia recently." Lin Cheng seemed a little helpless.

The silence in the darkness lasted only a second, but it seemed as long as a century.
