I originally thought that Cao Rongbin would instinctively back away when he heard the words "betting his life".
But to my surprise, a gambler is a gambler, and he was completely unmoved by this.
"Fine, I'll buy your life, but you'll have to pay five copper coins!"
Cao Rongbin's face was filled with a hint of madness.
All I can say is, this guy really values money over his life.
No wonder he looked like a security guard when I saw him. I also recalled what Director Wang said in the illusion.
In the illusion, Director Wang told me that ever since that incident, Teacher Cao had become like that.
I thought Teacher Cao's incident involved arguing with the principal, but now it seems more likely that he gambled with the principal.
Give me those three copper coins you got!
I reached out my hand and looked at Ji Xinglan, because there were exactly three in the groove behind him when he entered the passage.
Ji Xinglan obediently handed over the copper coin.
I carefully took them, and after collecting five, I tossed them onto the table.
"Can we talk now?"
I looked at Cao Rongbin with a smile, wondering how he would choose to deal with this situation.
"How should we bet?"
Cao Rongbin looked at me and asked what I wanted to do. Without hesitation, I told Cao Rongbin my thoughts directly.
That's the most standard Pai Gow.
In fact, this kind of thing was already popular in the late Qing Dynasty.
This includes the games played at gambling tables.
Moreover, the timeline is now completely messed up. At this point, let alone playing Pai Gow, I think it would be normal for an arcade game to be released.
"Then let's compare sizes!"
Cao Rongbin's face was filled with madness.
At that time, the card player from the underground casino came over and brought us the cards.
At that perfect moment, Ji Xinglan stood right behind Cao Rongbin, and through visual sharing, I could see Cao Rongbin's cards perfectly.
My lips twitched involuntarily. I never imagined that my first time gambling would be like this.
But if we want to get out, we have to defeat Cao Rongbin.
The rest of the game was a foregone conclusion; I could predict exactly what Cao Rongbin would choose each time.
It was supposed to be a best-of-three series, but I've already won two in a row, so it doesn't matter whether I win the third one or not.
"A bet's a bet, so this time I'm going to take everything from you, including your life!"
After I finished speaking, I raised my palm, and all the money on the table, including the bracelet, flew into my hand. I put all of these things into the mirror.
As for Cao Rongbin, I raised the Thunderstrike Sword, and with a whoosh, it pierced into Cao Rongbin's chest.
I walked over and placed my palm on Cao Rongbin's chest.
Cao Rongbin stared at me with wide eyes, looking as if he had died with his eyes open in disbelief.
Without thinking twice, I used all my strength to absorb all the energy from Cao Rongbin's body.
This is what Lei Jijian just taught me.
It would be such a waste not to absorb so much energy.
Cao Rongbin was drained dry right in front of me, while the gamblers around him acted as if they hadn't seen anything.
Everyone continued playing what they were doing. I absorbed the energy for about half a minute, and Cao Rongbin's body was completely desiccated.
However, on Cao Rongbin's forehead, I saw a ball of white energy.
I tried putting my hand on it, and sure enough, the energy entered my mind.
Those are Cao Rongbin and Lin Momo's memories.
In my memory, Cao Rongbin was always a good teacher who contributed to his students, but he picked up this bad habit during a drinking session with the principal.
In the end, they kept betraying their students.
Lin Momo was also betrayed by Cao Rongbin.
As for Cao Rongbin's bracelet, it was given to him personally by Lin Momo.
Indeed, in Cao Rongbin's memory, Lin Momo had always had a strong liking for him.
Although it didn't develop into a romantic relationship, it was pretty close. However, Lin Momo trusted Cao Rongbin the most, but he betrayed her at a crucial moment.
After reading this memory, I felt a pang of sadness.
I turned to look at Ji Xinglan, and she was in a similar state.
Ji Xinglan must have seen all of that memory. I reckon she's even more upset than I am.
"Uncle Chen, do you think there are still good people in this world? I always thought Teacher Cao was a good person!"
Ji Xinglan's voice was a little choked up, and her eyes were red. I knew that Ji Xinglan couldn't bear the memory she had just recalled.
A most respectable teacher has turned out like that.
"Take a look at this!"
I bit my lip slightly, then pulled a pink letter from my pocket.
This letter was written by Lin Momo to Cao Rongbin.
"Actually, I should have expected this! Everything turned out the way it did!"
After handing the letter to Ji Xinglan, I also let out a heavy sigh.
This world is getting more and more out of control, gradually exceeding my comprehension.
"Alright, Uncle Chen, you took care of Teacher Cao just now, which is a way of venting Momo's anger!"
Ji Xinglan came over and took my arm, starting to comfort me.
I held Ji Xinglan tighter, then glanced to the side.
If I remember correctly, the second person I met when I entered the school was Long Xiyue.
