Silver Crystal Flower [Interstellar]

Geinhaili sent the image from Noren to other people's optical brains, "These two people are probably just bait. Noren continues to observe, and Nashayan keeps up. The others stand by and don't act without authorization."

The two Mercury members entered the colony after landing from the passenger spaceship, and quickly moved away from Noren's observation range.

Nashayan took over his job and quietly followed behind the two of them. With a positioning system on his body, the walking route can be transmitted to everyone in an instant and clearly.

He always kept a distance of about 10 meters, stopped and walked, neither far nor near, very cautious.

The two entered the widest road in the market and chatted while walking. Naishayang was far away and couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, but seeing their expressions were very leisurely, it was like shopping, and they would stop to watch the interesting stalls along the way , and even bargained with the boss for 10 minutes at the fruit stand for two guava oranges, it didn't look like he had a mission at all.

"Did they find out that someone was following them?" Zorn, who was in charge of guarding the hotel, couldn't help asking.

Nashayan immediately said: "Impossible, I am very careful."

Lin Yunting was in the casino, and the background sound was loud and lively. He said, "It's not that I noticed you, but I knew that we would definitely deploy, so I was ready to be followed from the beginning."

Nashayan was about to ask what to do when he heard Nolen's slightly surprised voice: "...It's Chen!"

Without intentionally changing clothes, without hiding his tracks, Chen just appeared on the pier so boldly, as if he was afraid that Noren would not recognize him.

There was another Omega beside him, and the two entered the colony together.

Ge Yinhaili thought for a moment, and said, "Lin Yunting left the casino and went to talk to these two people."

Helu Kelin wanted to go with Lin Yunting, but Ge Yinhaili asked him how much he had won. He Lu Kelin glanced at the chip sign in front of him, 4000 million, which was far away from one billion.

"You stay in the casino, carry on," Ginghali said.

Heruklin: "..." So it's true that less than one billion can't leave?

Lin Yunting gave him a sideways glance, got up and left, and when he walked out of the casino gate, he pushed his glasses and said, "There are 40 of them, if they all act in twos, it is impossible for us to keep an eye on everyone."

As if to verify his words, just as he finished speaking, Noren continued: "Tsk, here we go again, this time there are four... No, they left separately, or in groups of two, what should we do?"

Lin Yunting stopped, waiting for Ge Yinhaili's new order.

Ge Yinhaili watched the two groups of people on the screen parting ways at the entrance of the market, one group was heading towards the casino, and the other group was heading towards the hotel, "Lin Yunting followed the second group, Moira and Zorn followed the third group respectively. Three sets of four."

Heruklin scratched his hair irritably. He won too much. The current betting amount is 4 million per round, and he has almost harvested all the liquidity in the casino. Even if he sits here for another whole day, I'm afraid He couldn’t find anyone who could fill him with the remaining 9 million. He said, “This won’t work, Marshal. What if these people are all bait, just to mislead us? Just follow up and hit Jialan trap..."

Geinhaili interrupted him: "There is always one group that is true."

Lin Yunting put his hands in his pockets, followed his target slowly, and said casually: "It is also possible that each group is true, it all depends on our reaction."

"It's both a trap and an opportunity." Noren said, "Two more came, and they didn't go to the market...Huh? It seems that they went in the direction of the mine."

Geinhaili said: "Don't worry about that side, you can focus on the pier area."

The old aircraft carrier used by Mercury needs 200 tons of energy stones produced by Sabri to fill the energy compartment. Unless a cargo spaceship is used, it is impossible for a small ship to take that much at once.Moreover, Sabri's pier is too small, and with their squatting guards, the aircraft carrier cannot directly enter, so Jialan can only choose to rent a cargo ship and transfer it to the aircraft carrier.According to Yajin's description, each of their supplies is basically carried out in this way.

Therefore, in theory, as long as the dock can be controlled, the initiative can be taken.

Of course, everything happens just in case.

Especially when the enemy you are facing is unpredictable and you have no way of trying to fathom it, the possibility of this event will increase a lot.And what he has to do is to completely extinguish this one-ten-thousandth possibility.

Ge Yinhaili switched the line, "Beiyuan, how is your place?"

Beiyuan's voice sounded quickly on the communicator: "There is nothing abnormal in the base, and we are checking the radar blind spots. It will take some time."

Beiyuan is at the base in District 4, checking all the settings left by Kuntan that may provide convenience for Jialan.

Geinhali asked Latyrelle the same question.

Latyril and Yajin are responsible for cruising the star sea between Area 4 and Sabri, and they haven't found anything yet.

Gein Haili cut off the call and observed the actions of each group through the display screen.

Nashayan's group was still wandering in the center of the settlement on the north-south street. Lin Yunting followed Chen Ze and his companions into a restaurant, and Moira and Zorn were on the east and west sides of the settlement.Their actions are different, the lines are chaotic, intersecting each other, all over the entire colony, there is no pattern to follow at all.The only thing that is certain is that none of them have a clear purpose, at least not yet.

This is a test between the two of them.

It seemed that Jia Lan was telling them that they were in the dark, but such an upright light made them, who were in the dark, be cautious and dare not act rashly, for fear of stepping into a trap, and became passive.

Ge Yin Haili clenched the communicator in his hand, he was very anxious and his palms were sweating.

The lack of sleep for several days made him look haggard, with clear red blood in his eyes.

But there was no stubble on his chin, his hair was neatly groomed at night, even some styling fluid was applied, and the marshal uniform was ironed and flattened. Even if he went to the military department's year-end dinner, he was still dressed like this.

Before leaving Sabri, he rehearsed countless possible scenarios in his mind.What route might Jialan take, who would they send out to purchase ores, would they activate Kondra’s vacuum domain, and under what circumstances they might directly confront Jialan or Xilai... and so on, all kinds of things formed a picture complex web.

But no matter how much you think about it, the plan is always just a plan, and any small thing in reality may cause earth-shaking changes in the overall situation, leading to completely different results.

Every word and every decision of his needs to be carefully considered, and every branch that can be derived from this decision should be considered as much as possible.

However, most of the things in this world happen because the plan can’t keep up with the changes, with a sense of anxiety that can’t wait for the time, there is no room for people to think carefully, and they don’t consider how surprised you will be, they always appear unexpectedly before your eyes.

"Ginhaili."

Noren paused, swallowed his words, and thought it would be better for Geinhaili to see with his own eyes.

On the screen in front of Geyin Haili, the part corresponding to Noren is locked on a jump ship that has just landed. The complex national emblem of the Lilantu Empire on the stern is painted brightly and brightly, showing his identity generously. The one on the Mercury aircraft carrier!

"Where did they come in...?" Nashayan was shocked.

The entire Asgard is under martial law, and the area in the fourth district is monitored by the Black Dragon Legion. Where did this warship get in?

I am afraid that no one can answer this question until Beiyuan platoon finds out the results.

"This is a blatant provocation..." Heruklin said with emotion.

There were more than a dozen people on the warp ship, and Ginhaili could confirm that they were all Omegas and people from the Mercury constellation without Noren asking.

The dozen or so people were still in groups of two, and before they scattered to act, Noren asked, "Do you want to do it?"

In addition to the four regiment leaders, a hundred soldiers of the Black Dragon Legion also dressed in ordinary clothes and sneaked into the control area. As long as Ge Yinhaili gave the order, they would take down all the targets locked by Noren as quickly as possible.

Ge Yin Haili put his hands on the control screen of the jump ship, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his body unconsciously leaned forward. He was cleaning up the current situation in his mind.

Excluding Yajin, Noren, Jialan and Xilai in Mercury, there are about 38 people left. These people basically have no fighting power. More than half of them have already appeared in front of them. The remaining dozen people should be with Jialan. If He is now ordering the arrest of all Mercury members on Sabri. There is indeed a high chance that he can cut off Galan's supply and put pressure on Galan, but it will also cut off the clues and make them lose the chance to find Hilley.

There is no need to weigh the pros and cons. For Geinhaili, Hilley's location is undoubtedly the first thing he has to consider.

Noren was right, the trap set by the opponent was also their chance to win.Only when the other party takes action can the flaws be exposed to them.

Ge Yinhaili commanded: "No, wait a little longer. Zon, divide up into several people to follow, don't follow too closely, and don't get lost. The others spread out and surround the jump ship."

Then he asked, "Hrukling, how is it going with you there?"

"4200 million..."

Because he couldn't wait for anyone to come to the table for a long time, Heruklin reset the chips to 100 million. Even so, the gamblers were afraid of his amazing luck and dared not go to the table unless a new and very promising player came in now. Money's guest, otherwise today probably can only stop here.

Ge Yinhaili was silent for a moment, and asked Heruklin to call the waiter, "Tell him that you want to start a game of [-] million yuan, and let him help you find an opponent. I will transfer the insufficient money to you now."

Heruklin was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had tinnitus just now, he asked uncertainly: "One hundred million? One game?"

Ge Yinhaili affirmed: "One hundred million, one round."

With a "ding dong", Heruklin's optical brain rang, showing that he had received a transfer of 6000 million.

"..."

Heruklin, who had never seen so much money before, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and before he had time to ask Ge Yinhaili why he did this, he couldn't help worrying about his own wealth and life: "Well...Marshal, what if I lose ..."

Geinhaili said: "As long as you bring me back, if you lose, you lose. It's not your fault."

Heruklin's pressure did not ease because of this sentence. The situation is not clear at the moment, and now it seems that they are the one being led by the nose, and it is still unknown whether they can get Hilley back.

But he didn't dare to say these words, fearing that he would be torn apart by the marshal.

"...can I ask the reason for doing this?"

Without waiting for Ge Yin Haili to explain, Lin Yunting said: "The owner of the Sabri mine, Barlow, is a famous gambler in the interstellar. It is said that he will win every gamble and has never lost. Won. Are you trying to lure him out?"

Lin Yunting had a little guess when Geinhaili let Helu Kelin into the casino.

Geinhali said yes.

Hruk Lin Xin said why didn't he tell him earlier, he thought it was because the Legion was really poor enough to rely on him to gamble to earn military expenses...

After listening to the whole process, Naishayan didn't understand why his royal uncle took so much trouble. He interjected and asked, "Why didn't you prepare in advance? Contact him in the name of the alliance and ask him to cooperate, or just start this game directly." gone?"

Helu Kelin came back to his senses when he heard this, "Because if he starts the game directly, maybe he won't take the bait?"

Noren once again objectively felt Nashayan's insufficient IQ.

He rubbed his sore eyes and said, "Yes. A gambler who can achieve 'every gamble must win' must be very cautious. Suddenly a new face comes to the casino, and he opens his mouth to say a hundred million. In exchange for you Don’t doubt it? And it’s hard to tell the enemy from the enemy, Yajin and I don’t know if Barlow and Jialan know each other, starting the game too early or contacting him directly may startle the enemy, let Jialan notice it, and we will fall into a passive position.”

The method of making Heruklin gradually increase the chips starting from 100 universal coins was proposed by Noren, with the purpose of shaping the psychological change process of a novice gambler.

If Heruklin loses a lot, this [-] million-chip gamble is a battle to turn around and bet on all his wealth; if he wins a lot, this is the mentality of a novice gambler whose confidence is inflated because of his luck.

Of course, Heruklin's ability to win all the way was completely beyond his and Geinhaili's expectations. Geinhaili was already mentally prepared to lose money.

In fact, he should have waited a little longer, until the chips slowly rose and let Barlow notice Heru Kelin himself, the whole process would be more natural and credible.

Nashayan: "...Oh." In fact, he still didn't quite understand what Noren meant.

This kind of feeling that everyone is awake and I am alone is really not good, especially when Noren just disliked him for not being smart enough...

While several people were talking, Heruklin had already exchanged the money for chips and conveyed his intention to the waiter.

The waiter was not surprised after hearing this, and just told Heruklin to wait a while.

As soon as the waiter left, Heruklin couldn't help asking again: "Can I ask why you asked me to come?"

Lin Yunting seemed to be smiling, and made He Lu Kelin's ears tickle softly, "Probably because you look stupid and have a lot of money."

Heru Kelin, who is neither stupid nor rich: "...I think Nashayan seems to fit this trait better than me."

Someone who was also shot while lying down was about to refute how stupid he looked, when he heard Noren say: "It doesn't mean he looks stupid, he is really stupid."

Nashayan: "..."

After about 10 minutes, the waiter came back and asked Heruklin to move.

They came to the back of the casino and passed through a scarlet gate. There was an Omega youth with outstanding appearance and a senior uniform standing behind the gate. He bowed respectfully to Heruklin and replaced the original waiter as the guide. Work.

The unfathomable circle of gambling is also divided into grades and grades.

Those who gathered in the casino on the ground floor were just a group of low-level laymen. Up to now, even if Heruklin's chips reached 4000 million at the highest point, he could only be regarded as a small-time brawler in the low-class circle, and he couldn't get into the big shots. their countertops.

It wasn't until the moment he took out [-] million that Heruklin got the ticket to the upper class circle.

In a place like Sabri where fish and dragons are mixed, fish swim in shallow water, and the real "dragon" always lurks in the abyss and will not easily surface.

The Omega waiter led Heruklin into the depths of the casino and took the special elevator up. Heruklin couldn't see the number of elevator floors, so he could only guess the height by feeling.

About 20 seconds later, the elevator stopped, the door opened, and a gust of cold air came oncoming, and Heruklin could not help shivering.

Compared with the smoky atmosphere downstairs, this floor is a bit terrifyingly quiet. The scarlet carpet extends from the elevator all the way to the depths of the corridor, and the vision is not clear under the dim lighting. If you add some background sound effects, it will look like a scene from a horror movie. .

The Omega waiter who was walking in front was expressionless and didn't speak the whole time, Heruklin could only bite the bullet and keep up.

At the end of the corridor, there appeared the same vermilion door downstairs again.

The waiter opened the door for Heruklin, bowed his waist and raised his hand, as if to invite him in.

Behind the door is a closed room with a large space. Under the dim light, the scent of high-end cigars permeates the air. In the huge room, there is a kind of intoxicating romance.

In the center of the room is a long gaming table, and there are two figures at the end far from the door, one standing and one sitting.

The one standing there was wearing the same uniform as the waiter who brought Heruklin upstairs. He was also an Omega youth, probably a dealer.

The sitting man should be Heruklin's opponent.

He was smoking a cigar, and the side of his face was surrounded by smoke. Heruklin couldn't see his facial features clearly. He could only see his black hair smeared to the back of his head, and he was wearing a gray high-end suit. He was neither fat nor thin. Highly specific.

Except for the two Omega attendants, Heruklin didn't smell the third pheromone, indicating that the other party was probably a Beta.

The waiter who sent Heruklin upstairs stood in the shadow behind the door, and smiled formulaically at Heruklin, "I wish you a happy game."

When the door closed, Heruklin couldn't help shivering. He was always confident in his intuition, but now his intuition told him that the person opposite was a bit dangerous.

"sit."

It may be because Heruklin stood at the door for too long, and the person opposite took the initiative to speak out.

Helu Kelin had no choice but to walk over slowly. He gradually saw the man's appearance clearly. He has deep eyebrows, a hooked nose, and thin lips. His facial features are not outstanding when taken apart, but when combined together they are very impressive. hansome.

Heruklin sat down opposite him.

The man raised his chin, and the waiter handed over a cigar, a high-end product with a gold coil wrapped around the cigarette holder.

He Lu Kelin took it between his fingers, in fact, he doesn't usually smoke this kind of thing, just now he just smoked one downstairs for the atmosphere, it was brought by Gin Haili from Lilantu and stuffed for him. Heruklin doesn't know tobacco, can't taste good or bad, only knows that it tastes like butter and nuts when smoked.

The waiter trimmed the end of the cigar for him and lit a smokeless match. Heruklin leaned over to light the end of the cigar, and the person opposite suddenly chuckled.

This smile seemed too abrupt in the silent environment, so Helu Kelin didn't understand, so he heard Li Geyin Haili say in the headset: "You forgot to warm up."

"..." Oh yes, the filter should be warmed up before smoking a cigar.

Whether it is a veteran or a novice is clear at a glance, it is very embarrassing...

Heruklin resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, he really started the scene himself, and he wanted to finish it while crying.

He pretended not to hear the other party's laughter, and took a puff of the cigar in his mouth as if nothing had happened.

The rich aroma of tobacco leaves rolled from his throat to his lungs, traveled around his body and then left, leaving an aftertaste, Heruklin was stunned again.

Is it a coincidence?Although the appearance is different, this cigar tastes very similar to the one he smoked downstairs just now, and it is also rich and nutty!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the man across from him. The man's eyes, half hidden in the smoke, were meaningful, and his expression seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

At this moment, a subtle coolness quickly crept up behind Heruklin.

His terribly accurate intuition told him that the other party had probably been observing him for a long time.

The author has something to say:

I have to say, in fact, I don't know how to play games or smoke cigars, so I can't hold it anymore.

I went to Tokyo to play today, and I went to the amusement park on a 35-degree day, and I got heatstroke in the end...

Hey... I just want to write an article at home for a day, but I have to go out with my friends, so it becomes a pseudo two-in-one update. I am not satisfied with the writing, and I must overhaul it. Everyone?
