Following the crowd, Lin Mo and his friends entered a hall.
This place is very strange.
The peculiar thing is that there are bright lights and many 'staff members' here.
The staff were all neatly dressed men and women, the men wore white shirts and suit pants, and the women wore white shirts and short skirts.
They all wore a round mask with exaggerated cartoon smiley faces on it.
I wonder what the face underneath the mask looks like.
Anyway, the current situation looks quite weird.
This is a casino.
It is similar to what Lin Mo often sees in movies, but not as modern. It is an older casino where you can see things like poker dice.
There were more than a dozen windows over there, and the passengers all ran over to line up.
Apparently, he was going to exchange chips.
Originally, Lin Mo also wanted to go and queue up, but after a masked staff member saw Lin Mo, he immediately came over and invited Lin Mo to the VIP redemption room.
This is the name given by Lin Mo.
Because he was obviously treated differently, but this kind of difference and confrontation was a kind of respect. When it was confirmed that Lin Mo wanted to gamble a few times, the staff member left for a moment. When he came back, he was holding a plate with a pile of chips in it.
There are probably about twenty or thirty of them.
It looks like he went to get the chips.
Lin Mo currently has no idea about these chips, but when he takes them out and sees the pitiful little chips in Zhang Meng and Zhang Xu's hands, he realizes how well he is treated.
Zhang Meng ran over and counted the pile in Lin Mo's hand, then looked at the one in her own hand and immediately became unhappy.
The difference is more than twenty times.
"It seems that the nine o'clock activity is to gamble a few times."
Lin Mo said.
He is the only one who can speak at the scene now. He doesn't feel it at other times, but now he feels so happy, just like showing off luxury cars and beautiful women.
Very awesome.
However, at this moment, most of the passengers had no intention of coming up to play. Although they exchanged chips, they did not play. What does this mean? If you don't understand, just ask.
Lin Mo saw a passenger who was so thin that only skin and bones were left. From the cunning eyes and thin body, he knew that he was an old passenger.
The other party must know.
When the two of them made eye contact, the other stepped back.
"come over!"
Lin Mo said with a frown.
There was no need to grab him. The other party shivered and knew he couldn't escape, so he could only walk over obediently.
The other party is not stupid.
The one with a mouth on the Silence is no ordinary being. He must not be provoked, and he cannot be escaped.
If the other party wants to kill you, there is no other way except to kneel down and beg him to be in a good mood and show mercy.
Rebellion?
Death is even more miserable.
Lin Mo told the other party not to be afraid, he just wanted to ask something.
The senior passenger nodded hastily, gesturing to indicate that he would answer whatever the question was asked and would not dare to hide anything.
Lin Mo gave the other party paper and pen.
"Just write down your answer to whatever I ask. If it's just a simple yes or no, just nod or shake your head."
The other party nodded hurriedly.
Lin Mo pointed at the chips in his hand and asked, "Are these for gambling at the table?"
The other party nodded.
"What happens if you lose?"
The other party immediately wrote: "It's okay if you lose, but if you leave the casino without chips in an hour, you will die."
Lin Mo suddenly realized.
This answered both of my questions at once.
There are so many passengers, why is there not even one person who comes to gamble?
Because losing chips means death.
But on the other hand, if you win, you will have more chips in your hand.
"If you have more chips, you can offset some of the punishments, for example, you can skip sleeping, skip watching dance dramas, and skip being used as food."
The other party wrote so much.
Lin Mo basically figured it out.
In fact, to be on the safe side, it is safest to take the chips and not gamble.
Because after an hour, the time is up and you just have to hand over the chips and leave.
As long as you don't be greedy, you won't die in a casino.
This is like an easy question in an exam. As long as you are not a fool, you can get it right.
But the fact is that not every easy-to-scoring question is 100% correct. There are always one or two people who get it wrong.
There are many reasons.
And at this moment, the only reason for answering this "easy point question" incorrectly may be "greed".
People have greed, and so do nightmares.
If you do nothing here and don't gamble at the table, you can certainly escape the disaster, but you can only survive this time. What about the future?
So on the other hand, what if we take a chance?
As the saying goes, if you take a chance, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle. If you win the bet, you can get more chips.
According to the rules, the chips can offset death.
For example, if you have bargaining chips, you don't have to worry about being caught dozing off by the maid; for another example, if you have bargaining chips, you don't have to be caught on the chopping board and have your stomach ripped open.
With chips, you have a trump card and confidence.
Lin Mo asked the senior passenger about this, and what he said was similar to what he guessed.
There are indeed people who cannot resist their greed and choose to gamble at the table.
Leave life and death to fate.
"Did most of them lose?" Lin Mo asked.
The other party nodded.
"Someone won too, right?"
The other party still nodded.
As the saying goes, nine out of ten people lose in gambling, but there is one person who wins. That only shows that the casino is quite fair. Otherwise, it is impossible to win if ten out of ten people lose.
Even if someone can win, it is because they let the opponent win on purpose.
Just like buying lottery tickets.
If no one wins the prize, who would be stupid enough to buy it? There is no possibility at all, and it would be a free gift, and no one would do that. But on the other hand, if there is a gap, even if the probability is very low, there will be people who will take the risk.
Because most people would think that they might have that one-in-a-million luck.
At this time, Lin Mo really wanted to see if there would be any passengers willing to give it a try.
Waited for a while.
Someone really went up there.
If there is a first, there will be a second.
Then more people came forward and started trying their luck.
Lin Mo found that the interesting thing about this casino was that even if you lost, you would not die immediately, and you could even have a chance to "borrow".
But if you borrow one chip, you have to return two.
This is obviously a trap.
But if you lose at the beginning, you can only jump down and borrow chips, maybe there is still a chance to turn the tables. If you don’t borrow, then you will only have a dead end.
Lin Mo was watching as a bystander at the moment, and he found that there was a strange smell coming out of every gambling table.
Now one of Lin Mo's eyes still belongs to Sister Yue, so he can see things that others cannot see.
Looking closely, streams of red mist are rising from the gambling table, then moving upwards, converging with the red mist on other gambling tables, and then being sucked into the dozen or so speaker-like devices on the ceiling.
Huh? Lin Mo was stunned.
At first he really didn't pay attention to these morning glory-like devices.
Because the casino was decorated quite luxuriously, some people thought it was some kind of lighting equipment, but it turned out not to be that at all. Its biggest function was probably to produce the red mist on mobile phones.
But what is this red mist? Lin Mo's heart moved and he walked over.
He arrived at a gambling table where two passengers were already gambling like crazy.
One lost.
One wins.
The loser's eyes were bloodshot, and the winner's face was flushed.
The loser immediately borrowed chips in an attempt to turn the tables.
The winners would not quit because they had a way out. They thought that even if they lost once, it would be okay, but if they won, they would have more chips.
Greed is fully manifested at this moment.
If you lose, you have to keep going, and if you win, you want to keep going too.
At this moment, greed overcomes reason.
Lin Mo stared at the rising red mist with curiosity.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
For a moment, he seemed to sense something.
"Greed is a kind of desire."
Lin Mo seemed to have seen something similar on the Glutton.
Desire and greed are the best tonic for some nightmares.
Perhaps even more attractive than flesh and blood.
Some nobles on the Glutton like these things. They produce desires and consume desires, forming a special cycle.
But on the Silence, these passengers are only responsible for output.
So where will these greedy desires end up?
Lin Mo looked up and found that these collection devices were connected to pipes behind them, which connected to the outside from the ceiling.
Curiosity aroused.
Lin Mo wanted to see where these channels of desire would lead to.
So he told Zhang Meng and the others not to gamble at the table.
All he needs to do is get through this time safely. As for Lin Mo himself, he wants to follow this pipe out to see where it leads to.
