Chapter 213: Plan to destroy a country, gambler, past events (asking for monthly tickets)
After saying goodbye to the other members of the group at the Bryggen Pier, An Lun Si and Xia Ping Zhou walked along a long street that was brightly lit around the mountain. A red and white bus passed by them, pigeons were perched on the spire of the church in the distance, and the pedestrians were like a flowing piece of music.
Xia Pingzhou asked: "Did the regiment commander reveal the specific content of the operation on August 1st?"
"Robber the treasure in the whale's box garden." An Luns went straight to the point.
"The Garden in the Whale?" Xia Pingzhou was stunned. "Isn't that the country of the Strange News Envoy, the one in the belly of the whale? Do you mean... we are going to be enemies with a country?"
"Yes, that's our goal."
"A country should have at least several thousand guards. Even if they can't kill us, they can at least wear us out."
"Indeed, according to intelligence, the Royal Court Army in the Whale Box Garden has a total of 1,000 people, and each of them is at least equivalent to a Kui-level mutant." An Luns shrugged, "In addition to this, there is also the Royal Court Team, which includes many powerful people at the Calamity Level."
"How are we going to fight this?" Xia Pingzhou asked suspiciously, "Aren't we going to die if we go in... Let alone the Royal Court troops, a thousand soldiers alone are enough to give us a hard time. Although we have Carrot Head's ability, we can open a door and escape at any time."
An Lunsi smiled and said, "We have several partners in this operation. According to the leader, as long as we can help the third prince Xizel obtain the 'White King's Scepter', both the Royal Court Army and the Royal Court Team will be disarmed in an instant and become lambs to be slaughtered. As a group with mostly psychics and exorcists, the Brigade will not be affected by the White King's Scepter."
"What is the White King's Scepter?" Xia Pingzhou asked knowingly.
"The supreme treasure of the Whale Box Garden is the White King's Scepter, which only the kings of each generation are worthy of owning and using. In front of it, all the fragments of wonders below the generation level, or even the fragments of the generation level, will lose their function. For the Wonder Envoys, this is equivalent to cutting off their lifeblood."
"So... there's a prince in the little garden who has become a rebel, and we're going to help him get the scepter?"
"That's about it." An Lunsi smiled and put his arm around Xia Pingzhou's shoulders. "Let's go. The nightlife is about to begin."
He pulled Xia Pingzhou into the alley on the street, walked into the deep stairs leading to the underground, and entered a brightly lit casino.
The moment they pushed open the door, they were greeted by a bustling hustle and bustle, and a woman in a red miniskirt and white leather shoes came into view. She walked past the two of them holding a tray of champagne and winked at them.
The guests at the gambling table held cigarettes in their mouths, frowned, and stared at the chips on the table, just like generals checking supplies during a war.
Xia Pingzhou looked around: "What are you going to do, blow up everything here with slot machines?"
An Lunsi curled his lips and said, "Let me show you, a pure and kind boy, the world."
He casually exchanged the banknotes for some chips, then put his arm around Xia Pingzhou's shoulder and sat down at a nearby gambling table. The other three people at the table looked at him at the same time.
Those sitting at this long table were all notorious gamblers in the local area. Judging from their sarcastic and smiling eyes, they obviously thought that An Luns was a newcomer and therefore did not recognize their faces.
Xia Pingzhou pulled a chair and sat beside him, watching An Luns' performance silently.
"By the way, when did you start gambling?" he asked.
An Lun Si lowered his eyes, checked his hand cards and whispered: "Uh... I grew up in London, and I ran into a criminal group. They specialize in kidnapping children and sending them to London casinos to collude with the staff to use them as tools for cheating."
"It's so miserable."
"It wasn't that bad actually. I learned a lot of gambling techniques there and gained a lot of experience... Two years later, I successfully escaped from the casino and got away from the hands of that criminal group. When I came back, I put on a human face mask and changed into a new identity. I beat everyone in the casino and exposed all their tricks in public. Finally, when they were about to kill me with a gun, I used a slot machine to blow the place to ashes."
"So cruel..." Xia Pingzhou said, "But well done."
"After that, I became a wanted criminal. I had to change my face and identity every time I went to a different casino. I spent three years challenging all the famous gamblers in the UK and made them lose willingly. Some even shot themselves in front of me." Anluns said, "By then, I had long heard of the name of Japan's No. 1 gambler 'Crow'. He was very famous in the gambling circle around the world. It was rumored that he had not lost a single game in several years. So I traveled all the way to Tokyo, Japan, and started a life-threatening game with 'Crow'."
Crow, what's the principle of paint? Xia Pingzhu thought.
When An Luns said this, the atmosphere at the card table had become extremely heated. The other three guests who had been calm and composed just now were now blushing, and even their necks were red as if they were on fire.
They were like vicious dogs, staring at Anluns' right hand and the last card on the table with gnashing teeth and sharp eyes.
An Luns raised his eyes to meet their gazes, scanned their faces one by one, then curled the corners of his mouth playfully and nonchalantly turned over the last card on the table.
"This is impossible!"
"He definitely cheated!"
"Let me check this kid out!"
An Lunsi clasped his fingers together, sat at the table with a smile on his face, and said to Xia Pingzhou without turning his head:
"As you can see, I lost in the end. It was not until that moment that I realized that the No. 1 gambler in Japan, 'Crow', was actually the leader of the White Crow Brigade, Urushihara. This was originally a game of cards where one's life was at stake. So just when I picked up the revolver and was about to pull the trigger at my own head to end my life, the leader showed mercy and asked me if I wanted to join them.
"But I had already pulled the trigger. When I came to my senses, I found that the pistol I was carrying was empty. I didn't know when the bullets had been taken out. I opened my eyes and saw a crow flying in the air, with bullets falling from its black beak.
"The captain's eyes were very calm at that time. I was silent for a long time, and finally I chose to join the brigade."
A gambler at the table reached out with his right hand, as if trying to grab An Luns's suit tie, but Xia Pingzhou reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled it over, bent his body slightly, gave him a smooth shoulder throw, and then pinned him to the ground with his elbow.
Although Xia Pingzhou's physical fitness is average, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
"Let's go. It looks like this is where the fun for tonight ends." An Luns smiled.
Xia Pingzhou released the gambler's right arm, stood up, and walked beside An Lunsi expressionlessly, like a cold-faced bodyguard. The crowd watching nearby made room for them, and the two of them quickly walked out of the brightly lit casino.
The dark iron door closed, blocking out the noise behind them. They walked out of the silent alley and returned to the long street surrounding the mountains. Soothing jazz music came from the cafe.
"Have the other members arrived?" Xia Pingzhou asked.
"Only Tong Zizhu, Hacker and I have arrived. The other members will not arrive for another two days." An Luns spread his hands.
"It feels quite relaxing... The battle of the century is supposed to start on August 1st, but everyone is still late."
"Are you scared?"
"It's not bad..." Xia Pingzhou said expressionlessly, "I just want to say that this operation is really big. In comparison, the auction seemed like a small fight. But I was also unlucky that time. I happened to run into the monster from the lake."
"There is not much difference between a bandit and a gambler." An Lunsi shrugged. "The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Every action is a gamble. This is why I am willing to stay in the White Crow Brigade. On the one hand, I want to find an opportunity to continue to compete with the captain in gambling skills. On the other hand, I enjoy the atmosphere here."
Xia Pingzhou thought for a moment and said, "In fact, you could have played in the casino for a while longer. Why didn't you let them check you? With your skills, even if you cheated, you wouldn't be discovered by a group of Muggles."
"Do you know why?"
"Don't want to waste time with them?"
"No... because if I don't return you to you, the young lady will get mad at me."
As An Luns spoke, he looked down at his watch. He and Ayase Origami had agreed to borrow Xia Pingzhou for only two hours, and the time was almost up. It was written in black and white, with his autograph still on the cat-borrowing agreement.
"That's true." Xia Pingzhou said.
"Let's go." An Luns smiled. "The eldest lady and Tong Zizhu are still at the Bryggen Pier. The hacker has arranged accommodation for us near the pier. We should stay in the hotel tonight. We can also see the sea view. The rooftop there is very suitable for chatting while enjoying the sea breeze. If you don't drink, you can drink orange juice."
"oh."
Xia Pingzhou nodded and extended his hand to him expressionlessly.
"What's the meaning?"
"Bodyguard fee, I didn't come here with you for nothing."
An Lunsi was stunned for a moment, then shrugged helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll ask the hacker to transfer it to you later."
As he said this, he put his arm around Xia Pingzhou's shoulder and walked on the way back. Soon, the two arrived at the Bryggen Pier. Xia Pingzhou glanced at the address sent by the hacker on his mobile phone, walked to a nearby hotel, got the room card from the front desk staff, and when he opened the room, it was empty.
He took a shower and went to sleep. He didn't say a word all night. Even when An Luns knocked on the door and asked him to drink, he ignored him.
The next morning, Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes on time from bed like a robot executing a set program.
I drew aside the curtains and took in the view of the fjord city. The sea at Bryggen Pier sparkled in the morning sun, and birds were perched on the spires of wooden fish houses.
"Green Tea Shark."
Suddenly, he heard a call that did not belong here, so he scanned several perspectives in his mind and synchronized his consciousness with the body of Unit 3.
Little Shark opened his eyes from the crystal ball and saw Li Qingping already holding the crystal ball, waiting in a corner of the dormitory. César was changing clothes in front of the clothes rack.
When it raised its head, it could see Li Qingping's chin.
"What bad luck! I just woke up and saw a pig's chin." The little shark muttered.
Li Qingping yawned and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
"Yagubaru...it just so happens that you woke up, and my mother wanted to see me." Xizel said, "I don't want to avoid it."
"Then let's go and meet that bad woman." said Yagubaru.
Xizel straightened his collar and turned to look at Li Qingping: "Speaking of which, Li Qingping, Yagubaru told me a few days ago that there are many words similar to 'idiot' in Chinese... Then what words do you think are suitable for the queen mother?"
"Let me think about it..." Li Qingping tilted his head and thought for a while expressionlessly, "'bitch'."
"Bitch?"
Li Qingping nodded: "This is a compliment, very suitable for Her Majesty the Queen."
"I see..." Xizel said, walking out of the bedroom first, "Let's go, let's go see the Queen Mother."
Yagubaru was stunned, then stretched out his fin and pointed at Li Qingping, shouting: "You are not allowed to teach primary school students to say bad things. Even if you blacken primary school students, you still need to have good manners! Li Qingping, you are guilty of a heinous crime!"
"You have taught His Royal Highness the Third Prince how to curse me in Chinese, so it doesn't count as bad words?" Li Qingping asked.
"How can scolding you be considered bad words?" Yagubaru said, "It's just the truth."
"Green Tea Shark."
"Trash Red Dragon."
