As early as the first time Shi Xin threw the dice, he discovered something was wrong - how could he possibly throw out such big numbers as a six and a five at the same time?
Since there are cheating dice, there must be cheating mahjong. Needless to say, there are many pieces of mahjong on the table that have hidden things inside. He should be thankful that they haven't used the automatic mahjong table yet, otherwise he would not be able to win if he encountered program mahjong no matter how hard he tried.
He was lucky enough to win a little that night, purely because he met three cheaters whose methods were not very sophisticated. If they had met real gamblers, the two of them would have lost everything at the least.
Shi Xin threw two cracked dice in front of the three people, and said with a tired tone and a little impatience: "It's almost dawn, let's not play anymore, give me the money."
"You don't know the rules if I don't teach you a lesson, do you? You want to leave after winning so much?" Xiao Jin scolded, pointing at Shi Xin and scolded: "You are so young and yet you still do such low-class things. Your parents must have died to teach you such a thing..."
The curses he said afterwards were really nasty. Shi Xin had been looking at him coldly until Ming Qiao stood up to Shi Xin and interrupted Xiao Jin: "How old are you? Over 40? Over 50? Have you started a family? I guess not. You have no money, no job, no wife, no children, and you still have nothing at your age. You feel proud, don't you? Why did you curse his parents? Aren't you also doing such low-class things at your age? Think about what you said just now. Is that what a human being said? You can't curse people with any originality or level. This is how you will live your life."
The call made everyone around them press the pause button, and Xiao Jin and the other two were left with their mouths wide open, unable to speak.
Mingqiao didn't think he was a courageous person, nor would he curse, but he finally mustered up a breath, so he had to continue, at least to give the two a chance to escape: "Look at the way you are dressed, you don't look like children from a wealthy family. Think about your parents, they either worked for others or farmed, and raised you dollar by dollar. You didn't study when you were young, and you gambled when you grew up. If I were your father, I would stand here today and slap you a few times. Take a good look at yourself, do you look like a normal person? Are you worthy of your parents for raising you for so many years? And you still have the nerve to stand here and curse others."
He pretended to be calm and took a deep breath, then pulled Shi Xin up from his seat and said in a low voice, "It seems they don't intend to pay. I'll count to one, two, three and we'll run. Don't look back."
Shi Xin was still in a daze and didn't have time to nod when he heard Ming Qiao shout "Three!" and then turned around and rushed out.
He looked at the figure carrying the wind, not knowing whether to laugh or what to do, so he simply ran with him.
Xiao Jin and the other two on the other side barely managed to recover from Mingqiao's preaching. Mingqiao and the others ran more than ten meters before they remembered to chase after them.
The only thing left in Mingqiao's eyes was the iron door he had seen when he came here. He ran over with all his strength, and was dumbfounded when he opened the door.
There was no passage behind the door as I remembered, only a wall covered with red paint.
The paint hadn't even dried yet, and it flowed slowly and stickily down the wall, gathering in a pool of blood-red at the base of the wall.
He thought to himself that he was doomed, and all the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
Shi Xin, who came over later, also froze in place when he saw this scene.
Although the two had long been accustomed to having no way out, it was not just a matter of having no way out now. Behind them was a group of gamblers who wanted to "teach them a lesson". If they were caught, they would be dead.
"Don't run." Ming Qiao held back Shi Xin who wanted to rush out again: "You can't run out, save your energy."
After they stopped, Xiao Jin and his gang who were chasing them also stopped.
Mingqiao sighed helplessly and turned to face them. He wanted to negotiate with these people. He could give up the money he won, but it would not be worth it if he lost his life.
But Mingqiao didn't expect that Xiao Jin and his group were completely different from before.
Just like the monsters they had seen on the third floor of the restaurant, their eyes were hollow and their pupils were dilated. Their skin was slowly changing from the normal yellow to red and then to green. Their movements were a little clumsy as they were surrounding the two of them step by step.
Mingqiao peeked out through the gap in the crowd.
Everyone else in the casino became like this, without exception, including the tall man.
This change caught Mingqiao off guard. All the plans in his mind went down the drain. His legs twitched when he recalled the scene of being tormented by a group of monsters in the restaurant.
Xiao Jin, who was standing at the front, slowly raised his entire arm, standing like a pillar around the crowd. The next second, the arm fell straight down and hovered just in front of Ming Qiao: "They violated the casino rules, arrest them!"
The monsters around him all echoed in unison: "Catch him! Catch him!"
Mingqiao was almost deafened by the waves of noise, but his mind was still clear. He and Shi Xin must have done something that violated the rules, which triggered the strange event of "people turning into monsters". But the only thing he couldn't figure out was where the "casino rules" were marked.
In the restaurant, whether it was the restaurant rules, the maze rules, or the playground rules they saw later, they were all clearly marked out, telling them what they should and should not do, but in this casino, Mingqiao was sure that he had not seen similar notices posted anywhere.
The last time he saw the rules of the place was on the notice board in the playground. On that piece of paper the size of a note, there were seven notices about the playground. He remembered that the three edges of the paper were very smooth, except for one that was slightly rough. At that time, he guessed that someone had torn the paper in the middle. Now it seems that if there is no other place, the other half of the paper that was torn away must have written the rules of this casino.
But there is no way of knowing who tore off this half piece of paper and where it went.
It can be said that unless they can find the torn half of the paper, violating the casino rules is inevitable.
Mingqiao and Shixin had their arms twisted by several people, and their upper bodies were completely unable to move. They could only move forward according to their force.
There were no twists and turns like on the third floor of the restaurant. Several people pushed Mingqiao and the other person straight through the casino, then turned right into an aisle.
Every two meters in the corridor, there is a half-hanging curtain with yellow and black stains on it, which is so dirty that it is unbearable. There is a hanging incandescent lamp between the two curtains, which is also covered with a layer of dust, making the light dim.
They passed through five curtains before Mingqiao saw a door the size of a 24-meter suitcase. The door was white and embedded in the wall, about one meter from the ground. A string of Buddhist beads hung directly above the door, each of which was shiny and obviously covered with patina.
"Push it in! Push it in!" the people around started shouting again.
Mingqiao even consciously bent down and stepped in, and then Shi Xin was pushed in. The two of them barely stood still when the small door behind them was heavily closed.
"It's quiet." Shi Xin rubbed his ears.
"Yeah." Ming Qiao sat down against the wall and looked around.
The most attractive thing here is the big word "Nan" on the wall on their right. Combined with the fact that the whole room is a vertical rectangle and the walls are all white and cool to the touch, it is not difficult to guess that they are trapped in a mahjong tile.
Compared to when he was a dwarf before, this mahjong set is only as big as a normal classroom.
"The punishment is to lock us in a mahjong box?" Shi Xin sat down next to Ming Qiao: "It's not that serious."
Ming Qiao shook his head helplessly: "But if we can't escape, the oxygen here will gradually decrease. We haven't eaten or drunk anything for a long time, so we will die eventually."
"Don't be discouraged, that's what you said."
"Yeah. Oh, right," Mingqiao thought of something, "Where's the tall guy's ID card? I didn't have time to look at it before. What was the note inside?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Xin reached into his pocket, took out the work badge, opened the plastic protective shell, and everything inside fell out.
Mingqiao picked up the off-white paper and opened it layer by layer.
[To my gambling friend Lao Liu:
You know me, right? I am right. I hope you have a good time in the casino! Please follow my instructions below to ensure that you can get what you want, otherwise you will be at your own risk:
1. The casino is very secretive, so you don't have to worry about being discovered by the police. Therefore, if you see someone who obviously doesn't belong here, please immediately find the administrator sitting at the counter, explain the situation to him, and pay him a tip of 100 RMB, and he will help you solve all the hidden dangers.
2. The poker area, mahjong area, and dice area are separated by a wall. If you can see people or objects in the poker area or dice area from the mahjong area, please hold a white board in your hand and pretend not to see it. The same applies to the poker area and dice area. (I know you don’t know how to play poker and dice, so I’m too lazy to write more rules for the poker area and dice area)
3. A kind of transparent cube sugar is sold in the casino, which is not rock sugar. If someone tries to sell it to you, please do not buy it and contact the administrator immediately.
4. Do not go to the Mahjong area alone.
5. There are at most two casino administrators. They have very obvious characteristics and will only appear at the counter and the leisure area. If you see an administrator somewhere else, don't look them in the eye and don't be caught by them.
6. The leisure area provides free sunflower seeds and drinks, but no boiled water. If you see someone holding a cup of steaming boiled water, you can turn around and leave, or you can go up and knock his boiled water to the ground. (It is recommended not to go up bravely, it is really just a friendly suggestion)
7. Be wary of people standing next to you and watching you play cards.
As long as you follow the above rules, you will have a lot of fun in this casino, I promise. Of course, what I wrote is not comprehensive, I just said whatever I thought of. The rules posted by the casino may be what you need to follow first. I just added a few points.
I wish you happiness. 】
