Chapter 143 Revelation
——Inquiring about things?
Ask for information
The bartender thought in his mind, still keeping a smile on his face.
“Convenience is convenient, but.”
In a slow and unobtrusive tone, he pushed out an old, yellowed menu wrapped with Scotch tape, which showed some wine and prices: "But this is a chargeable item."
Song Shi was noncommittal.
He glanced at the menu, took out a data tablet from his arms, clicked on the map, and pointed to one of the places.
"Has the extinct volcano at this location changed in recent years? For example, it was destroyed by natural disasters, or the 'location' itself is wrong."
Extinct volcano?
Hearing this, the bartender recalled calmly.
He had the impression that this remote place was indeed a volcano before, but it had not erupted for many years - what could be in that kind of ghost place?
The person in front of me asked about this place, is there something going on? But I haven’t heard anything about that place recently
“The location is okay, it’s right.”
Thinking quickly, the bartender observed the other person: “Me too I’ve never heard of it collapsing there, but I’ve never been there, so I can’t guarantee it’s accurate.”
"Is that so?"
Song Shi nodded, put away the data tablet, and pointed at the menu: "How much does it cost for another 'Cheese Fountain'?"
The bartender was stunned. After a while, he asked tentatively: "Um, are you done asking?"
"Yes, I'm done asking." Song Shi drank the remaining half of the gift, and then said: "That's all I want to ask about. Just asking for directions, you seem disappointed?"
".Probably a little, after all, you can't make money from this kind of 'information'."
The bartender smiled bitterly and sighed: "I thought you were going to ask something like 'do you know someone's crime' or 'where does someone live?' After asking, he ordered a glass of wine, and then... Go out with a gun and a knife, and then come back with blood on the ground and finish the glass of wine."
"Ha, after all, that's what happens in movies, isn't it?" He shrugged. .
"So this is a movie, how could such a thing happen in reality? This is too unrealistic." Song Shi spread his hands and smiled as well: "Let's return to reality, more or less Money?”
“One hundred and seventy credits, the original price of the menu.” The bartender sighed again: “I don’t even have to pay for asking for directions.”
< br>Although one hundred and seventy credits is far more than the normal price of "Cheese Fountain", considering that Shatu Town is located in the wasteland, far away from the city, and it is difficult to supply various resources, it is reasonable.
"By the way, do you have a part-time job here to maintain vehicles and supplies?"
"Go out and turn left about 70 meters. There is a shop opened by a former company mechanic. The craftsmanship is absolutely good." Bartender He paused for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, and added: "Well, if you want to go, you can say that I recommend you to go there."
Otherwise, if you see "strangers" rushing in, The other party will not be lenient, and the lion's big mouth is the second best. There are even cases of secretly replacing parts when the owner is not paying attention. Anyway, they don’t do repeat business that happens once in a lifetime.
Hearing this, Song Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything.
He twirled the glass: "Then I'll give you a glass, add less ice cubes, and then"
The bartender was about to start mixing drinks when he suddenly found that the other party's words had stopped.
He turned around and saw the person in front of him suddenly raised his head and looked outside the bar in a certain direction?
"If the wine is served, please put it here first. I will come back to drink it later."
Song Shi frowned slightly, then relaxed and said calmly: "I suddenly thought I got up and something happened, I have to deal with it first, don’t worry it won’t take too long.”
Song Shi straightened up and walked out of the bar without waiting for the other party to answer.
Three minutes later.
Deep in an alleyway of the street.
The heavy curtains were lifted casually, and the world suddenly turned from day to night. The windows in the room in front of him were completely closed, with only a few rusty ceilings overhead casting dim lights.
In the dim light, there were waves of dense smoke, and the smell of inferior cigarettes made people cough from time to time, but everyone present turned a blind eye.
They just stared at the gambling table in front of them, trying to catch a glimpse of victory from the numbers and patterns. Even when Song Shi entered, almost no one looked up. "The cards will be opened in three seconds! Is there anyone else who wants to raise!"
"Oops! Why did you lose again! Dice, is there something wrong with your playing?"
"Add another five hundred. No, one thousand credits!"
This casino is not very large. After passing through the crowds of people, Song Shi walked to the deepest place, where the largest number of people gathered.
“Bet big or small! Hurry! Is there anyone who has placed a bet?”
On the crowded old card table, a middle-aged man holding a cigar and whose right arm was completely replaced by a prosthetic limb sat on the main stage. In front of everyone, he displayed four dice, then stuffed them back under the dice cup and began to shake them vigorously. .
"Is there anyone else? One last question!" He shouted a few words loudly, and after confirming that no one was placing any more bets, he opened the dice cup.
The four dice are 1, 2, 1, 2 in order, overwhelmingly small.
When I bet just now, the amount placed in the range of 1 to 6 was the smallest. This is also a matter of course.
“How could I lose seven times in a row and trick you into cheating!” Someone gritted his teeth as he watched the money being taken away by the middle-aged man: “What the hell——”
The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned cold.
"You have to speak with evidence. What, you want to stir up trouble?" He stood up abruptly, stared at the man who made the noise, and poked the man's chest with his index finger: "The whole Shatu Town knows that I don't play tricks. , It all depends on luck, fairness and justice - if you have the ability, pull out the gun now, I think more highly of you."
Not far away, several burly men also came over. .
Seeing that the situation was not good, the person who made the noise quickly raised his hand, slowly backed out of the casino gate, and disappeared in a flash.
Song Shi didn't pay attention to all this.
In the gap between the crowd, his eyes fell on a figure. It was a young man, and he was also crowded around the "dice" gambling table. He seemed to be a gambler as well.
As if aware of it, the other party subconsciously raised his head, but Song Shi withdrew his gaze just a moment ago.
【Enlightenment】.
The first level, and then the way of using psychic energy is quite rough.
Song Shixin Tao.
With his eyesight, he could confirm that the middle-aged man's dice, dice cup and gambling table were all fine. He had only trained in the technique of rolling dice, but it only had an auxiliary effect.
It’s a rare sight
“—I also want to play two games.”
Pushing away the crowded crowd, Song Shi put his hand on someone’s shoulder and forced him to The man gave up his seat, then sat down and looked at the middle-aged man.
"Play two? Okay." The middle-aged man frowned inwardly, but still smiled on the outside: "My minimum bet is three hundred credits, and the rules are"
"There are 400,000 yuan in this credit card. The card account is a bank affiliated with 'Anjing Credit'. You can access it at any time."
Song Shi showed the magnetic card and then threw it on the gambling table: "Dice It’s boring. For something more interesting, let’s bring a revolver and play roulette.”
The young man’s next words made the middle-aged man’s face completely darken.
"As for your bet..."
Song Shi turned his head and looked at the boy next to him: "I want this one."
