The Exorcist

Chapter 14: Win every bet

Ruan Zhan glanced at it calmly, warning the banknote to be quiet. And his calm and proud look was also provocative to He Fugui.

"I'm very happy that you came to me. In this way, if you lose everything, I will leave you with travel expenses, and you can make friends. I will never kill them all." He Fugui said with a strong attitude, "But to be honest, look Your package is not big, but it is enough for me to take a gamble."

"You don't want to bet?" Ruan Zhan was determined to win.

"Bet! Why not bet!" He Fugui said quickly. Even if it only costs a penny, he will bet. These days, he is tired of the strange mountain-moving actions of the two great immortals. Fortunately, they promised him that once the shallow valley was filled up, they would let him go to a foreign casino to gamble happily.

"What kind of bet?"

Ruan Zhan made a "please" gesture.

He Fugui thought he was letting him choose, but he didn't know that he meant to invite you to the urn.

"What's your last name?"

"Ruan."

"Brother Ruan, I think it's no fun to bet on the same tricks. Let's try something new." He Fugui thought for a while, "How about we just make a phone call and bet on whether the other party is a boy or girl? ?To prevent cheating, we each choose four numbers."

"what ever."

"Where's the gambling money?"

"I have 50,000 yuan, and it's all here." Ruan Zhan threw his backpack on the table, pressing down on the hundred-dollar bill that couldn't find a place to rest. "One decision determines the outcome. If I lose, this money You take it, I will obey you and will not pester you. If you lose, I believe Mr. He will not waste my small money."

"Okay, have fun! So is the other party a boy or a girl?" He Fugui rubbed his hands in excitement, "Guess first, after all, this person is a guest."

Ruan Zhan looked at him, not knowing whether to pity him, despise him, or think he was ridiculous. This person doesn't care about or be interested in anything in life. He will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't gamble for a day. This is no longer as simple as being a compulsive gambler. In his opinion, He Fugui should see a psychiatrist or even take some medicine. Just resist the activity of brain cells.

"Let the dealer guess first, I don't care."

"Okay, there are gambling products, but I don't know if you can still maintain your grace in a minute. Like this - I don't like women, so I guess the person who answers the phone is a man."

"Okay, I guess it's a woman. But what if it's an empty number?"

"Then it's a tie. Even if it's a tie, the banker wins, but in this round, a tie is a tie." He Fugui felt that things were getting more and more interesting, and he felt more and more that this gambler suited his taste, so he hurriedly wrote a piece of paper Write four numbers on it, and then ask Ruan Zhan to write it down as well, hand it to a bodyguard, and wait for him to pick up the phone.

Ruan Zhan waved his fingers lightly, but this did not escape He Fugui's eyes. He asked with some confusion, "Brother Ruan, what are you doing?"

"It's just a ritual, it means asking the God of Gambling for luck."

"Oh, really? You and I are indeed on the same page." He Fugui smiled slyly, thinking that it was useless to ask the God of Gambling, because he had gone through such a terrifying ceremony to welcome gambling luck, and was blessed by two immortals. , so he should be the god of gambling, he will always win! Although he knows that he will win every time he gambles, gambling is not that exciting, but he prefers the excitement at the moment of gambling, the nervous look on the other side, and the annoyance of the other side after losing money. Of course, he also likes those things that cost nothing. Money earned with little effort.

"It's an empty number." The bodyguard reported, holding up the phone.

He Fugui was stunned, not expecting this result, "What is this?" he asked, feeling uneasy for a moment. He used to lose any confidence when he lost, but since he encountered that strange thing that came to his door, he had forgotten the feeling of losing. Although he didn't lose now, it suddenly made him feel a little uncertain. It stands to reason that even if the number he wrote casually brings gambling luck, the other party will also bring bad luck. The God of Gambling has his own arrangements, and it cannot be an empty number, so he bets like this! But now, what's going on?

He couldn't help but touch his ears. The earrings didn't heat up as usual, and there was no sound coming from them. He felt very uneasy.

"Sure enough, it's a tie. That's fine. We don't have to fight to the death right from the start." Ruan Zhan patted his backpack, "It seems like I've saved my little money!"

Seeing Ruan Zhan's casualness, He Fugui felt angry and wanted to teach Ruan Zhan a lesson. He said with a smile, "That's true, but this is not fun, and it is too seriously affected by the outside world. In this way, we The outcome is still determined by one hand, but use traditional gambling methods!"

"Okay, how about gambling?"

"There are no other gambling tools here. Let's just decide the outcome with dice, bets on odds, odd and even numbers, pai gow and mahjong, okay?"

Ruan Zhan agreed without hesitation. He used his yin and yang eyes to take a look at He Fugui, and saw a faint green and reddish light above his head. It seemed that he really meant good luck, but there was also a hidden meaning in it. Evil is obviously not destiny or the blessings accumulated by oneself, but is imposed by evil things. Although its power is unstoppable, as long as it is broken, it will be released thousands of miles away. This hard-earned luck cannot last long. The so-called winning in every bet is just a mirror image. I really don’t understand why people insist on getting this illusory thing? !

But it took a lot of effort for him to resist this evil force. He closed his eyes and recited a mantra, and while He Fugui was busy arranging gambling equipment, he laid three layers of barriers in succession, and the luck layer that was forcibly detained above his head was Laminate up. He seemed calm on the surface, but every time he set up a barrier, he felt a strong resistance, which made him spend a lot of spiritual energy to do it. He couldn't help but believe in the folk legend about the God of Gamblers, and also a little bit. I admire the thoughtfulness of the pair of evil spirits.

Now, neither he nor He Fugui will cheat and have a fair bet. And he was not worried that he would lose. As soon as he entered the door, he trapped the two evil spirits and blocked He Fugui's bad luck. Therefore, He Fugui's gambling luck would inevitably go to the other extreme. As long as he is not a bad person, I will definitely win against this papery god of gambling!

In the first round, the bet was on big or small. Ruan Zhan’s twelve points beat the dealer’s eleven points.

He Fugui lost 50,000 yuan to someone else for the first time in so many days, and his face turned green. He had already gained so much wealth, and he didn't care about the small amount of money. What was important was that this game severely affected his psychology and shattered his confidence in winning every bet. At first, he was not sure whether he could win the bet in front of him. guest.

Ruan Zhan knew from Xiao Xia that He Fugui liked to carry some cash with him, but it would not exceed 50,000. He was not polite at the moment. He put the winning money in his backpack and asked, "Mr. He, do you still want to gamble?"

He expected that although He Fugui was afraid at first, his gambling instinct was aroused and he would continue gambling with him until he lost all his life. He had no sympathy for He Fugui at all. He felt that it was not a pity for such a person to die, and there was no need to do it himself.

“I don’t have any cash around, how about writing a check?”

"This is a rule for cash transactions. If Mr. He has no money, it is better to gamble another day, or -"

"Or whatever, you just mark the way."

"Or you can gamble your property."

He Fugui immediately understood that as long as gambling was involved, his wisdom was infinite.

In the second round, guess the odd and even numbers. Ruan Zhan guesses the odd number and beats the dealer's even number.

He Fugui broke into a cold sweat. He couldn't believe that someone could beat him twice in a row. This time, he lost hundreds of thousands of his luxury watches and gold chains.

In the third round of Mahjong, despite the constant help of two bodyguards pretending to be card stands, Ruan Zhan still won.

This time, He Fugui lost a diamond ring as big as a broad bean on his hand, and the bodyguards also saw that something was wrong and winked at He Fugui, hoping that he, who had always been invincible, would stop tonight. But although He Fugui was immersed in fear, his desire to turn defeat into victory was still above the water.

"Mr. He, it seems you have nothing to gamble with."

"I bet all my fortune. If you win, all my things will be yours." He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and his heart could no longer accommodate anything else. He only wanted an opportunity, and he believed that this opportunity would allow him to win everything back.

"It's a small gamble, but there's no need to gamble so much, right? Besides, I'm not interested in Mr. He's net worth. I just want to become a gambler. I don't care about these external possessions."

Seeing that the evil spirit was struggling fiercely, Ruan Zhan didn't want to waste more time and energy, so he accelerated and led He Fugui into his trap.

"How can there be such a thing? If you leave in the middle of a bet, isn't this a rift?" He Fugui was a little anxious and tugged his ears. He didn't know where the two immortals had gone today, but they didn't give him any information.

He is not afraid of losing all his wealth, since he believes he will win it back in the future. What he was afraid of was the person in front of him, and what he was afraid of was the disappearance of the only unfailing luck he had. Who is this person? Why did you find him? Are you really here to play? Can it really break the good luck he has worked so hard to get?

No, he couldn't let this man take everything away from him! So although I am afraid, I still want to gamble. He was neither convinced nor reconciled, and he believed in the miracles given to him by the two great immortals. Now there seemed to be a small hand grabbing him in his heart, telling him that he could not let this person go no matter what, and he must bet with him until death!

"No, you have to bet with me again!"

Ruan Zhan sneered, "Are you forced to bet? I've never seen one in my whole life. You might as well give it a try."

"Brother Ruan has misunderstood." He Fugui winked, causing the four bodyguards who were about to move to move back, and explained, "I just want to gamble. If you leave like this, you don't want me hanging in the air, out of reach. , it’s too shameless. Just take another gamble, and I will never keep it in the future.”

Ruan Zhan pretended to think for a moment and realized that He Fugui was not doing it for money, otherwise the four bodyguards would have swooped in and robbed him. He Fugui just wanted to win back his own things through gambling and prove that his gambling luck was not bad. However, if it really comes to the last step, it is inevitable that He Fugui will not jump over the wall in a hurry, and he should have made preparations in advance.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment and slowly walked to the window. He seemed to be still thinking about it and got rid of the surrounding bodyguards intentionally or unintentionally.

"How is it?" He Fugui asked anxiously.

"Even if I am willing to play the last game with you, how can you bet if you don't have the capital? The money is all with me now. I should have the final say on what can be bet."

"Of course, this is the rule of the casino, I understand this."

"Otherwise -" Ruan Zhan glanced at He Fugui's ears "accidentally", "Your pair of earrings seem to be antiques. They seem to be worth a few dollars, so just bet on them. Everyone, please be happy, I will spend all the money Put it all here, just this one, win or lose is up to God, no more entanglement!"

He Fugui didn't expect Ruan Zhan to propose this condition, and was stunned for a moment. He knew that these two earrings were transformed by the two immortals and could not be given to others. Besides, they said that if you take off your earrings, your luck will leak out from the piercings.

"This is passed down from my ancestors, and it's worthless. Brother Ruan, let's exchange some bets."

Without saying a word, Ruan Zhan took the bag and left, but was stopped by the bodyguard.

He slowly turned around, his straight nose cast a shadow on his face due to the lighting, and his dark and indifferent eyes contained a bit of sharp anger, "Are you really forced to gamble?" he said. Every word.

This is He Fugui's territory. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and he also has four wolf-like bodyguards, who may appear at any time to protect him. He will not be afraid of Ruan Zhan's threat. But for some reason, he was still afraid. In Ruan Zhan's eyes that concealed the coldness, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Go on, it's none of your business." He Fugui said with a smile, "Everything is easy to discuss!"

Ruan Zhan said nothing, and suddenly he felt that He Fugui was hateful and pitiful. Who says that only spiritual beings have obsessions? Don’t so-called humans also have obsessions? In order to gamble, he could sell his house, land, and wife; in order to gamble, he could endure all kinds of inhuman and horrific things; in order to gamble, he could beg others in a lowly manner, and it was He Fugui's fatal weakness that he took advantage of.

It was possible to snatch away the pair of earrings, but it was always easier to outwit them than to outwit them. Besides, he still had to retain all his skills to deal with the pair of evil spirits. They are his targets, and he will not end up losing more than he gains by using force to solve them.

He kept reminding himself that there was no rush, but now, He Fugui was finally taking the bait.

"Okay, just these earrings!" He Fugui said through gritted teeth.

Ruan Zhan secretly sneered in his heart, knowing that He Fugui had no sincerity, he must have thought that he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Even if he lost, the immortal in the earring would come back. At worst, he would be punished, but he was not so polite to the Ruan man. If you do, it will definitely kill the other person. Not only was he blinded by gambling, but he also had murderous intentions. Little did he know that the hall was turning dark and he was the one facing death.

"But I won't give it to you until you beat me. You can't put it on the gambling table now." He thought that his gambling luck had not leaked, but was only temporarily suppressed by a strong man.

Ruan Zhan agreed. He doesn't know how to gamble, and he doesn't want to have any luck in gambling. What he is betting on now is He Fugui's already declining luck!

In the fourth round, Ruan Zhan's card was the Emperor. Xiao Zhu relied on two and four to defeat He Fugui's pair of big cards.

There was silence in the room, the bodyguards were dumbfounded, and He Fugui's face turned pale. At this moment, he finally believed that no one in the world could win every bet, and no matter how strong he was, he would always have his nemesis. But, why didn’t the pair of great immortals appear? Why don't you come to save him? Aren't they still going to use his help to do things? Where have they gone?

He mechanically took off the earrings and handed them to Ruan Zhan, not because of how good the gambling products were, but because he was always timid when facing Ruan Zhan and did not dare to resist. And the moment he took off the earrings, he couldn't help but feel excited, as if something was being pulled out of his body. Everything yesterday was just a dream. When he woke up from the dream, he was still the same person who destroyed himself because of gambling, so... chilly!
