Chapter 416 416.【Blood Chip】

"Once upon a time, there was a restaurant in the old city, which contained a casino and a brothel. It was a place where many upper-class people hung out."

Sheriff Wang took out a slightly yellowed handkerchief from his arms and wiped the sweat from his forehead. His bloated figure made Sheriff Wang's face look greasy, and it also exuded a smoky smell.

"On the gambling table in the restaurant, it is said that anything can be used as a bargaining chip. Not only money, but also body and soul can be put on the table."

"so smart."

Qiao Mu continued to display his admiration skills.

If this is also a kind of supernatural power, then Qiao Mu is more or less the god in charge of praise among the chosen ones.

"Haha, the old city was the center of the mainland at that time. People from all walks of life came and went, and most of the exchange of information and interests took place in that restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was naturally the most well-informed intelligence dealer on the mainland. At that time, the old city was full of music every night, It’s like a city that never sleeps.”

Sheriff Wang spoke with fascination, as if he had experienced such an era.

"What happened next?"

Qiao Mu skillfully used one of the three sentences to answer a conversation.

"Later, a big case happened in that restaurant, and many people died, and it declined. This [blood chip] came from that case."

Sheriff Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead again and continued.

"When that case happened, I was only five or six years old. I heard from adults that there was a dispute in the casino, and then a stranger was provoked. The stranger slaughtered everyone in the casino and infected all the chips. Blood, no one discovered the tragedy there until the next day, but the blood had already dried up.”

"Really?"

Qiao Mu tore the meat from the skin-on chicken legs and answered with a slick mouth.

"True, my grandma's neighbor worked in that restaurant at the time. He said this while playing mahjong."

Sheriff Wang, perhaps because he was thirsty, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"But that's just the beginning. If you say something happened to this restaurant, something happened. Something happened to this Gucheng Hotel before. Hey, you know."

Qiao Mu nodded.

"The owner of the restaurant also disappeared. Some said he died, others said he ran away. As for why he ran away, it is said that the case was committed by the owner. In short, everyone has their own theory, and the restaurant gradually declined. , pass it on to someone else.”

Sheriff Wang said he was very excited and beaming.

"Originally, the matter ended here, but then the person who took over wanted to open a casino and found that the chips could not be cleaned no matter how they were washed, so they wanted to throw them away, but they were all thrown into the trash can on the first day, and they were found again the next day At the card table."

"Is there such a thing?"

Qiao Mu acted very surprised, which made Chief Wang very satisfied.

If the person listening to the story has no reaction at all, the person telling the story will feel bored. But if there is an audience who can answer the story, the person telling the story will naturally become more and more excited.

"Not only that, the tables and chairs in the restaurant are stained with blood, which is difficult to wash off. Moreover, if these chips are used, the ghosts of the people who died at that time may be entangled, and they will die badly!"

Sheriff Wang said with certainty.

“Then wouldn’t it be very ominous for us to take these chips?”

Qiao Mu looked at his pocket, which contained twelve chips, two of which were left over from the previous round, and the remaining ten were all blood-stained [blood chips].

"Haha, I thought everyone who came here knew about it, but I didn't expect there was a stupid young man here. He's so cute."

Sitting opposite Qiao Mu, a woman with a good face wearing a cheongsam covered her face with a fan and laughed. She was Baiying, Huangyilou, who was in the same group as Wushan.

"What's up?"

Qiao Mu spoke bluntly.

He knew that he was a tough talker, and being arrogant at this time would only make him lose more than he gained.

"The restaurant where that bizarre case occurred is now the Jiangcheng Hotel."

Bai Ying smiled.

"There is such a thing!"

Qiao Mu's eyes widened.

"So, it's understandable that such a tragedy happened here before. This is an ominous place."

Bai Ying looked at the others. The atmosphere at this table was a little heavy because of this topic.

"It's just that those chips should have been stored in the underground warehouse at that time and should not have been taken out for use."

"You mean, that person might be related to the case back then?"

Ge Sheng, who was on the other side of Qiao Mu, spoke at this time.

"Who knows."

Bai Ying looked at Qiao Mu and Ge Sheng playfully, gently rubbing her fingers on the rim of the teacup in front of her.

"Maybe he is a survivor from that time, or he is the owner of that restaurant!"

Sheriff Wang subconsciously moved his chopsticks, picked up the food in front of him and put it into his mouth.

“It’s quite delicious.”

"Then why did he run this gambling game? That happened more than thirty years ago. We have no grudges against him."

Someone at the table shouted.

"You'll find out after you read it."

Bai Ying seemed to know what would happen next and didn't say much.

Suddenly, Sheriff Wang, who had completely let go and was enjoying the food, was startled.

"Wait, this tableware."

He took a closer look and found that there seemed to be dirt on the plates and bowls that was difficult to wash away.

Upon closer inspection, Chief Wang discovered that it was all coagulated blood!

"This, this is blood!"

In an instant, everyone looked at these tableware.

And not only that, the tables and chairs seemed to have blood stains that were difficult to wash off.

"Could it be that these are all from that year?"

Someone wailed.

At this time, a voice came from the stage.

The man appeared again.

"Everyone must have finished enjoying the delicious meal, so during this break, I will introduce the rules of the next game to you."

Text appears again on the stage curtain.

Su Hong looked over and found that it was still a pistol roulette game.

However, this time the pistol roulette game has some more rules.

First of all, although there are still six people taking turns, the rules for getting shot have changed.

The shooter will be rewarded with one chip, while the person who skipped the shot will have to pay the price of one chip.

The person who is shot will pay five chips to the host and not to anyone else.

Secondly, in a game, you can only skip shooting a maximum of three times.

In addition, you can borrow up to five coins from the host. If you fail to repay them in full after the game is over, you will also be considered eliminated.

The last and most important rule.

After one round, someone's chips in the game return to zero and the game ends. At this time, only the top two players with the most chips can advance.

After hearing these rules, the gamblers who were originally panicked because of the blood stains on the dining table quickly became calm and silent.

Obviously, after the round of baptism just now, everyone has mastered the essence of this game, but now the changes in the rules may make the game's ideas completely different.

And because of the tragic consequences after losing, everyone was afraid. More importantly, this time there was not only one eliminated, but a winner.

At this time, Qiao Mu suddenly discovered a bright spot.

He touched the chips in his pocket.

"I have twelve chips, and you."

He asked Ge Sheng.

"you guess."

Ge Sheng smiled mysteriously and did not tell Qiao Mu how many chips he had.

Qiao Mu quickly understood at this time.

The number of chips remaining from the previous round is also a hidden advantage in this game.
