Chapter 1500 Take a Bet
The man in front of me is sitting against the wall. The chair in the bar is too small, or it may be that the man is too tall. The backrest of the chair cannot reach him when he sits on it. He leaned his shoulders up and sat with his legs crossed, almost leaning against the wall.
The clothes he wears look like cowboys, especially the wide cowboy hat on his head, which is even more conspicuous.
The light of the wall lamp installed on the wall hung down and shone on the cowboy hat, forming a medium-sized shadow, which just covered the man's face.
He held Jiang Zhe's changed card and flipped it up and down on his fingertips as if he were playing a poker card. If you look closely, you can even see the frightened expression of Jiang Zhe who has become a two-dimensional person. , but he couldn't make a sound.
Later, the shocked Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei felt the man's sight in the shadows.
"Two more are here? Not bad"
His voice sounded like he was about thirty to forty years old, not too old.
Of course, this is on the premise that he belongs to human beings.
He could talk, and Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei immediately woke up from their shock.
Gan Xiaoyan almost growled:
"What did you do to him!"
"It's nothing, I'm just willing to admit defeat."
The two of them noticed then , the table in front of this man is actually a small square table, with a set of playing cards and scattered chips on it.
"Looking at the reaction, you know this boy, right?"
The man shook the card in his hand, then took out what looked like a photo album from his coat and opened it. It was densely packed with transparent cards with characters printed on them.
Are they all human?
He stuffed Jiang Zhe's card into the empty space and then closed the album.
"It's easy to get him back. Sit down and play with me. If you win, you take him. If you lose, you keep him. How about it? It's a good deal."
< br>I could feel the man smiling, but a strong sense of threat always lingered.
But do you really want to sit down and gamble with this monster?
Gan Xiaoyan really wants to save Jiang Zhe, but she feels that there is a high probability that she will get caught up in it.
Then, don’t bet, turn around and look for Li Chengqi, and come back when you find Li Chengqi.
Then it won’t be a question of gambling or not, but whether the grandson begged for mercy quickly enough.
It seems that the latter is the wisest choice. After all, the risk of gambling with such an unknown monster is too high.
But Gan Xiaoyan wasn't sure if she could get it back once she walked out of this bar.
The entire cabin is extremely weird. The area has long exceeded the size of the hull when viewed from the outside. The route is also extremely complicated, and there is almost no guidance. Once you leave, you may not be able to come back.
If this is the case, what should Jiang Zhe do?
Gan Xiaoyan was a little entangled, and the man urged:
"If you don't plan to play, then let's go. I've almost finished playing today, and it's time to go home."
The meaning is very clear. If you don't gamble, Jiang Zhe will not come back.
What should I do?
Gan Xiaoyan had a hard time making a decision, but at this time, Lei Lei shook her hand, and Lei Lei gave Gan Xiaoyan a look of "I'll help you."
This made Gan Xiaoyan determined.
“How are you going to bet?”
"Okay! It's not bad to add two more collections at the end."
The man said happily and pointed to the table:
"This is the last one today. Let's play something simple. Blackjack, either of you can do it.”
The playing cards scattered on the table suddenly floated into the air, and were re-stacked and placed in the corner of the table.
This also allowed the two of them to see that the thing covered by the playing cards just now was an etched metal plate of playing cards.
It says:
‘Instructions for gambling tables’
1. The playing cards will be automatically shuffled to ensure that no one will tamper with them.
2. Both parties need to agree on the bet before the game starts. Once the bet is placed, it cannot be changed.
3. The bet will be strictly carried out in accordance with the prior agreement and no breach of contract is allowed.
These are the three above. This ghost ship really has rules everywhere.
"Don't think about losing and defaulting on the debt. You have also seen the fate of that young man. He will be enforced."
The man explained, which made Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei pay attention again. Put your strength on him.
"So, start?"
"Wait, I need to ask some questions." "Of course, that's your right."
Gan Xiaoyan said:
"First of all, we need to make sure that all the people you took away are still alive?"
"Are alive, I don't like dead people."< br>
“If you released them, would they still be alive?”
"No problem, I will just fall asleep for a while at most."
At this time Lei Lei interrupted:
"What is Black Jack?"
"It depends on who it is. A simple card game where the cards are closer to the number 21"
Lei Lei then understood, oh, it's blackjack?
So she said to Gan Xiaoyan:
"Let me do it. Ever since I was a child, I have never lost in card games."
Gan Xiaoyan was a little worried. After all, although the rules of blackjack are simple, in fact It is a mathematical game, and only players with strong mental arithmetic skills can guarantee a winning rate.
However, seeing Lei Lei swearing so confidently, Gan Xiaoyan actually felt unsure, so she did not force herself and made way for Lei Lei to sit opposite the man.
“Do you have any questions?”
"Yes."
Gan Xiaoyan said:
"How much do you know about this ship?"
At this time, the two of them could feel the warmth of the man in the shadow. His eyes flickered slightly.
"A lot, but...if you don't bet, I won't tell you for free."
"What if we bet?"
"You can ask, I will try my best to answer, and I guarantee that it is indeed the truth."
The wording of this best-effort answer is very vague.
"You know, some things are not suitable to be said everywhere. I also have the right to choose to answer or not answer, but I promise not to lie."
It seems that the other party does not agree with this point. Don't want to give in.
Gan Xiaoyan nodded:
"In that case, let's make the bet clear. You have to answer my questions during the bet. If you win, you have to release my companions."
< br>"No problem, if I win, you will become my new collection."
"We are going to check the playing cards, do you have any objections?"
"Of course not, Please feel free to do so.”
The corners of the man's mouth in the shadows seemed to curl up, and he pushed the playing cards placed in the center of the table over.
Gan Xiaoyan and Lei Lei checked carefully and confirmed that this was just an ordinary deck of playing cards, with no traces of magic power and no place for cheating.
This man is very patient and does not rush at all.
Until the two checked the playing cards, he said:
"The rule of the game is that the first person to win three times is the winner."
"We have no objection."
"Okay, let the game begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the playing cards piled in the center of the table seemed to have been picked up by an invisible person and automatically swiped. Shuffle the cards and quickly put them back on the table.
"Ladies first."
Two playing cards flew up one after another and landed in front of Lei Lei before dealing the cards to the man.
It is said that the first person to win three wins is the final winner. It seems that there is a fault tolerance rate, but thinking about Jiang Zhe's performance just now, this fault tolerance rate may be more like some kind of psychological oppression.
Lei Lei and Gan Xiaoyan looked at each other, quietly opened the cards and took a look...
