Strange Tale

Si Ren and Long Jiu rushed to the casino with Qilin.The guests had already dispersed, only the casino clerks and those burly men blocked the door.Seeing Qilin, they let out the door.

Inside the room, a middle-aged man sat on the table in the center, wearing a Hanfu with a bun on his head and a beard on his chin. He was very traditionally dressed.Behind him are several burly men, and Ye Chang and Xu Hai are under their control.But Si Ren and Long Jiu focused their gazes on the middle-aged man together, because Huan'er was sitting in his arms, and when she saw them coming in, her eyes were dull and motionless, and she didn't respond at all.

Si Ren and Long Jiu looked at each other: they could both sense that the person in front of them was neither a demon nor a ghost, but a normal person.It is possible to make Huan'er like this, and he is definitely not someone who will take it easy.Ye Chang and Xu Hai had no power to fight back, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

"I'm under Si Ren, a sorcerer who runs the rivers and lakes. This is Long Jiu, my friend. What's your name, sir? But the owner of this casino?" Si Ren stood opposite the man across the table.

"My surname is Ding, so I'm not considered the boss, I'll take care of it for someone else."

"It's also the boss to take care of others. Dare I ask Boss Ding why he detained my friend without permission?"

"Hmph." Boss Ding sneered and looked at Qilin, "Didn't the little brother who brought you here say that?"

Si Ren knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't want to make fun of himself anymore, but seeing Huan'er's appearance, he was really worried, "Well... Boss Ding, we won't run away, can you let my sister come to my side, the child is young, I haven't seen the world, I'm afraid she will scare me."

Boss Ding looked down at Huan'er and then reached out to touch her head, "Are you afraid she will scare you? It's better to say that she will scare others. But it doesn't matter, you can let her pass, as long as you can scream."

What do you mean as long as you can pass?Si Ren frowned, "Huan'er."

Huan'er didn't respond.

Si Ren raised his voice, "Huan'er! Come here!"

Still no response.Si Ren wanted to yell again, but Long Jiu pulled him, "Stop yelling, I'm not sure Boss Ding won't say something like that."

Si Ren thought about it, and turned to look at Boss Ding, "I heard from Xiao Lin that you came forward to win back all the money they won before, and then ordered to detain them?"

"Correct."

"Then since you've already won all the money back, why do you want to withhold it?"

"The money wasn't what they deserved. I didn't grab it directly but played a few rounds with them. It's the best of humanity. But they used their eyes to do tricks. Disturbing the order of our casino is small and breaking other guests." It's not that simple, I can't give up easily. Otherwise, if there is a similar situation in the future, as long as the other party has a good attitude and is willing to pay back the money, I will collect the money and let him go? Mr. Si, do you think it is appropriate?"

Si Ren had nothing to say, so after thinking about it, he asked again: "Why is Boss Ding willing to let him go?"

Boss Ding raised his hand and gestured at the various gambling tools on the table, "Since you are in a casino, follow the rules on the gaming table. You can choose any one."

Si Ren showed embarrassment, "Well... I can't bet with you."

"Why? You don't want to save your friend and 'sister'?"

"My teacher once warned that it is best not to gamble while walking in the rivers and lakes, otherwise you will lose all your mana. And I am really not good at these things, so let Boss Ding..."

"Hmph, so in your heart, friends and sisters are not as important as spells."

"This……"

"I'll bet with you." Regardless of Si Ren's entanglement, Long Jiu stepped forward and sat down at the table.

Yechang and Xu Hai were both stunned.

Si Ren was also very surprised, "You play well?"

Long Jiu was full of confidence, "No. I don't know any of them."

"Then how do you bet?!"

"It's okay." Boss Ding reached for an empty bowl, "If you don't know how to do it, just bet on odd or even."

"Okay!" Long Jiu was full of momentum, "Hurry up, we will win or lose once. If I win, you will release all three of us."

Boss Ding smiled confidently, "Yes. But what if you lose?"

Long Jiu took out the hand that was in his arms and was about to pan for money, "Isn't gambling all about gambling?"

"Money?" Boss Ding sneered, "Mr. Long is too calculating. My bet is on the three of you, but you want to bet with me with money. Isn't it fair?"

"Then what do you want?"

Boss Ding looked at Si Ren and Long Jiu carefully twice, then raised his hand and pointed at Si Ren's waist, "I want that Qiankun bag."

Si Ren subconsciously covered the backpack with his hand, "How do you know it's a Qiankun bag?"

Boss Ding laughed again, "That's my business. You just said you're willing to bet it?"

Si Ren frowned and looked at Huan'er, "Then...if Boss Ding loses and releases him, can you restore Huan'er to its original state?"

"no problem."

Si Ren gritted his teeth and took off the backpack and put it on the table.

The game begins.

Boss Ding asked someone to bring a pot of chess pieces, and he picked up a dice himself, "In the first game, the more players sit on the banker."

After finishing speaking, Boss Ding threw the dice on the table.The dice spun for a long time, and finally stopped at five.

Long Jiu picked up the dice and threw it casually, and the dice stopped quickly: six o'clock.

Boss Ding stretched out his hand towards the tub, "Please, sir."

Long Jiu picked up the bowl with one hand and reached into the basin to grab a handful, then he threw the chess pieces he grabbed into the bowl and then put them on the table.Because the movements were too clumsy, two chess pieces fell out halfway.

Boss Ding looked at him with a smile on his face, "Do those two pills count?"

Long Jiu picked up the two chess pieces and threw them back into the basin, "It doesn't count."

"Hmm..." Boss Ding stared at Long Jiu's hand and thought for a while, "Shan."

Long Jiu opened the bowl and began to move the chess pieces aside one by one.

The eyeballs of Si Ren and Qilin on the side almost fell on the table, and Ye Chang and Xu Hai, who were firmly held down and could not move at all, stretched their necks desperately.

It turned out to be single.

Boss Ding was very proud, Long Jiu didn't change his face, Si Ren, Qi Lin, Ye Chang and Xu Hai all turned blue.

Long Jiu grabbed Si Ren's backpack and threw it directly to the opposite side, "I'll bet you one more game."

"Still betting?!" Si Ren and Qi Lin said in unison.

Long Jiu ignored them, "Boss Ding, what else do you want?"

Boss Ding looked at Si Ren and Long Jiu again, and finally his eyes fell on Long Jiu's face, "Bet on you."

Si Ren slapped the table, "What did you say?!"

Long Jiu stopped him, "What does Boss Ding mean?"

"Just what I said. I bet you the night."

Long Jiu couldn't help laughing, "I can bet with you, but if I really lose, I'm afraid Boss Ding won't dare to take it?"

Boss Ding smiled and stroked his beard, "I know that the young master is not a good person, and I don't have that habit. But Ding has a business in the city, and recently there is a customer who is not easy to serve, and the young master can be used there."

Long Jiu bowed his head and thought for a while, "Okay, I'll bet with you, but if I win, you have to give us back the three of us plus the Qiankun bag."

"It's easy to say. I won the last game, and I will be the banker in this game."

As he said, Boss Ding held Huan'er in his arms with one hand and grabbed the edge of the basin with one hand and gave a strong blow. Most of the chess pieces in the basin were knocked out of the air. He grabbed the empty bowl in time and swiped left and right in the air. The bowl was put on the table, and the remaining chess pieces fell back into the basin obediently at the same time.Si Ren and Long Jiu felt so dazzled for a while that they were so chic and beautiful, they couldn't see anything clearly.

"Double." Long Jiu stared at Boss Ding's eyes, not looking at the bowl at all.

Boss Ding smiled slightly, and raised his hand to pick up the bowl: there was only one chess piece on the table.

Si Ren grabbed Long Jiu, "No! This round doesn't count..."

Long Jiuyi pushed Si Ren away and stood up, "Forget it! Why not? I concede the bet. Boss Ding, I want to bet you the last round."

"Are you crazy?!" Si Ren wanted to catch Long Jiu.

Long Jiuyi turned his head and stared at him, "I'm very calm!"

Seeing that his hair and eyes were still dark, Si Ren had no choice but to stop him, "Okay, I'll let you bet, but what else do you bet on?"

Long Jiu turned around, Boss Ding raised the corners of his lips and remained silent, but the meaning in his eyes was very clear: Yes, what else are you betting on?

Pa——Long Jiu took out his divine dagger and slapped it on the table, "Bet on everything I lost to you just now."

Now he couldn't hold his breath anymore, and he struggled with all his strength.Xu Hai didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that he often reacted so strongly, he guessed that it must be a great dagger, so he also jumped up.

"No! Ah... ah..."

"No way! Will..."

The two were kicked in the stomach each, unable to cry out.

Without further ado, Si Ren went to grab the Shendi dagger, but Long Jiu quickly pushed the knife in front of Boss Ding.

Boss Ding picked up the divine dagger and took a look, "It's a good knife, but I don't see how it's worth three people, a treasure, and a goblin for one night."

"Just send out the news: say that this knife is in your hands. Soon someone will come and be willing to exchange it with you on any terms. Of course, they may not all be people. You have to be sure so that you won't suffer."

Boss Ding smiled and put the dagger back on the table, "Interesting, well, I'll bet with you. You still lose the top bet, and I'll continue to be the banker."

After speaking, he directly threw the chess piece in the bowl into the air and held it with the bowl.

"Shan!" Si Ren and Qilin shouted together.

But Long Jiu still stared at Boss Ding's eyes, "Double."
