This is the underground casino I mentioned before. I remember when we came here, Lin Da told me that there was such a thing under the Lin family's house.
Moreover, I sensed that many guests came to the Lin family for this very reason.
"Uncle Chen, why does this place feel so eerie? It's so lively here!"
At this moment, Ji Xinglan grabbed my hand, her voice trembling.
Her eyes were almost glazed over. Sometimes I wonder if Ji Xinglan was genuinely scared or just pretending.
This is way too close to the line!
I tightened my grip on Ji Xinglan's hand and led her toward the underground casino.
When I first stepped inside, I could feel the bustling noise. I remember there were a full 100 people attending the wedding, but by the end, only a quarter of them remained.
There are at least two hundred people in the casino right now.
The more than two hundred people were of all shapes and sizes, dressed in various styles, and most of them were not dressed as servants of the Lin family, meaning that many of them were guests.
"Be careful! This place is a bit eerie!"
I gripped Ji Xinglan's hand even tighter, afraid she would run away from me.
I sensed a dangerous atmosphere in the air.
The moment we stepped onto the gambling table, the door behind us slammed shut.
"Congratulations on entering the underground casino. To get out alive, you need to solve the casino's gambling puzzle!"
As the door closed, the sound of the booklet followed.
My brow furrowed even more.
In other words, our top priority right now is to crack the gambling scheme of this underground casino.
But with so many people, who should I hang out with?
I scanned the crowd and surprisingly spotted some familiar faces among the guests.
"Xinglan, take a look!"
I tugged at Ji Xinglan and asked her to look to the side.
Sure enough, Ji Xinglan's gaze swept to the side.
"How is this possible? Director Wang, Teacher Cao? And Principal Cao?"
Ji Xinglan exclaimed in surprise.
I gave a bitter smile, because I knew these people too; they were all teachers from that middle school.
They even found Lao Cao among them.
"Uncle Chen! Do you think Momo's death might be related to the casino?"
Ji Xinglan's voice was still trembling, making my heart itch.
However, after carefully analyzing what Ji Xinglan said, I felt that what Ji Xinglan said made a lot of sense.
"What you said reminds me. I have indeed read some stories before, in which some teachers and parents did not do anything good because of gambling!"
I sighed softly, looking at these people with a complicated expression, hoping they weren't such beasts.
If there's one thing that could connect these people right now, the only thing I can think of is gambling.
A bold idea popped into my head: these people were a bunch of hardcore gamblers.
He sacrificed Lin Momo's youth for gambling and to satisfy his own selfish desires.
After I thought it through, I told Ji Xinglan everything I had just thought of.
Ji Xinglan didn't say much this time, but after a moment of silence, she nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, uncle, this time I definitely won't run away like before!"
Ji Xinglan's eyes were filled with determination, and I walked with her to the gambling table in the very center.
The first person we met at that gambling table was Cao Rongbin.
Cao Rongbin is the security guard we saw when we first entered the school.
At first, I thought Cao Rongbin was a good person and an upright teacher.
But now he appears at the gambling table with a greedy look on his face, having long since lost his true nature.
Seeing Cao Rongbin like this, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. Gambling is truly a bad thing; anyone who gets involved with it will become a devil.
How was Teacher Cao before?
I secretly started sending a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan, and Ji Xinglan replied that Teacher Cao was really good before, and took good care of all the students, especially Lin Momo.
After listening, I fell silent again. Just as I had guessed, Teacher Cao was a beast in human form.
He was usually very nice to his classmates, but ever since he picked up this bad habit, he has changed completely.
I kept my eyes fixed on Cao Rongbin. The Cao Rongbin of today was no longer the polite man he once was; he was like a devil driven mad by gambling.
His smile was almost insane.
"Keep betting! Keep betting!"
Cao Rongbin seemed oblivious to us, continuing to roar and urge the people next to him to place their bets.
I picked up the dice box next to me and slammed it onto Cao Rongbin's hand.
"Who are you? Why are you ruining my plans?"
When Cao Rongbin looked up and saw me, he asked me in a stern voice.
"I'll play with you!"
I shoved the person next to me aside and went straight to the opposite side of Cao Rongbin. According to the rules of this game, I should win against Cao Rongbin in order to move on to the next round.
The problem is that my gambling skills aren't that great, unless I can see through things.
perspective!
When I thought of the word "perspective," I suddenly became excited. Although I don't have that ability, I can share vision with Ji Xinglan.
This is a bug-like skill; once visual sharing is established, what Ji Xinglan sees is the same as what I see.
