The pinnacle of magic

The second half of the yacht is far less lively than the first half.The further back you go, the fewer guests are on deck.On the quiet side of the ship, there were only one or two couples of men and women clinging to each other and whispering, and a few guests who planned to enjoy the sea breeze for a while.

At the end of the ship's side, Shi Rui carefully avoided the sight of the security guards, quickly turned into the cabin, and then went down the straight stairs to the rear deck.The smell left on the magician was blown away by the wind here.Shi Rui stood on the spot and carefully identified for a moment, then turned to another direction.

"If I were you, I wouldn't bother him."

Shi Rui was shocked.He turned his head, and a fire suddenly lit up under the shadow of the cabin, and a stern man's face swayed in the orange-red firelight.

Shi Rui recognized that it was Rhett.Salaman, the producer of the TV station, the owner of the yacht.

He walked a few steps, and finally saw the producer's face clearly through the dim light coming from the port.

A small square table is fixed to the deck.Two high-back chairs were placed on either side of the table, and the producer was sitting on one of them.On the table was a deck of poker that had been turned over.It looked like the producer was entertaining himself, and the flame just now was him lighting a cigar.

"A round? Showhand?"

The warm sea breeze at night seemed to soften the stern man's voice.

"No." Shi Rui smiled, "It happens that you are here. Can you show me the way?"

"As I said just now, our magician is busy. If I were you, I wouldn't bother him."

"Unfortunately, you are not me." Shi Rui looked into the producer's eyes and said.

"...Okay. Go in there, the third door. They're in my lounge."

"Thank you."

There was the sound of shuffling the cards from behind, and Shi Rui quietly slipped into the cabin on the other side.He smelled the magician again until he reached a hatch carved with an eagle.The sound insulation effect of the door is very good, Shi Rui put his hand on the doorknob, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he gently pulled it away.

Moans one after another immediately echoed in the corridor.

The rest room was full of tangled flesh.Dim lights swayed from colored lampshades on the ceiling, illuminating the naked bodies like ugly, plaque-covered fat worms.Every man and woman pleases several people at the same time, or is played by several people together.Shi Rui didn't even bother to distinguish the figure of the magician.The hatch was closed again.He lowered his head, glanced at the unscrewed doorknob expressionlessly, and walked out.

"I said a long time ago that you'd better not disturb him." As if he had expected Shi Rui's reaction, the producer lightly tapped the back of the stacked playing cards with his fingers, "Would you like to play a game?" ?”

Shi Rui sat down on the chair opposite the producer.

"How long will the medicine last?"

"This is a batch of new products from South America. It is more powerful and has a longer psychedelic period. Unlike ordinary drugs, it also has a side effect of enhancing pleasure. But I don't give them much." Production The person explained, "There is probably more than an hour before I can wake up."

"What a thoughtful host, huh?" Shi Rui raised the corners of his lips mockingly.

"It's a common practice in this country. As the initiator of the party, I have the responsibility to provide some necessary entertainment to my guests. Shall we start?" The producer pushed the arranged cards in front of Shi Rui.

The middle finger and index finger lightly pick up a card and cut the card into two stacks.Shi Rui raised his eyebrows with a smile: "So you are enjoying this feeling, watching them struggle in the abyss of desire?"

Reid's index finger moved slightly and dealt two cards, one bright and one dark, to both sides.

"Yes, I do not deny that my position and wealth entitle me to look down on some of the corrupt and depraved new generations of this country. Don't you feel that way? The pinnacle of the city is falling, and the beautiful buildings are crumbling from their foundations. In my country, when the boy turns seven, we just give him a knife and throw him into the desert. Only the child who can come back alive can have the inheritance .We are the people of the wind, and we will never be deluded by the happiness brought by drugs like the people here. Do you want to continue?"

Shi Rui nodded.

Reid once again dealt a clear card to each side.

"No, I don't have this inexplicable sense of superiority. There is a saying in my country called 'Tao follows nature'. Nothing is created out of nothing, and everything returns to nothing. This is the law of everything in the world, and all people or things walk here. In the middle of a journey. Whether it is at the beginning or near the end, I do not intend to change it. Let things develop along their own trajectory, this is the meaning of 'Tao follows nature'. Except for some people..." Shi Rui's eyes Suddenly became fierce, "I will not take the initiative to interfere with anything except for some people who are worthy of my 'going against the sky'. Continue."

Reid flicked his fingers, and two cards were flipped in front of the two of them.

"It seems that history is always repeating itself." The producer looked at the cards on the table and spit out a smoke ring.

At this moment, there are a pair of A and a pair of Q in front of Reid, while Shi Rui's open card is 2345 squares.This round was almost identical to their first round in Casino Royale.

"Who do you think the Ace of Diamonds will be? Your hole card or mine?" the producer asked in a low voice.

"I suddenly found that we forgot to mention the bet." Shi Rui's lips curled up slightly, "I hope it's time to make up for it. I only have more than 200 yuan." He took out all the banknotes from his wallet and pressed them in the center of the card table.

"If you win, you can take this away." The producer picked up a long black box from his feet and placed it on the table.

Shi Rui nodded to accept the bet. "Let's play the cards!"

Reid turned over his hole card, which was a Q of Hearts, which together with the open cards on the table formed a Q full house.

Shi Rui smiled: "Sorry, I won. I hope the things inside are not too expensive."

His hole card is another square Ace.

A straight flush wins a full house.

Shi Rui opened the box casually.It was a crystal rose whose petals were partially studded with diamonds, shining beautifully even in such a dim night.

"This is a gift from me to formally propose to you. I hope you will accept it. You will receive the same treatment as all my wives." Rhett crossed his fingers and said calmly, his tone was a bit like talking about a well-paid job. work contract.

"I thought homosexuality was not allowed in your country." Shi Rui closed the box and pushed it back to the center of the table.

"That's just because it's not conducive to population growth. As long as the number of offspring is guaranteed, I can marry anyone as my wife. After you go there, you will find that my country is far more tolerant of this than here. And, Unless I enter a man's body in front of four witnesses, no one can sue me for it."

Shi Rui smiled, noncommittal to the inevitable look on the producer's face.He put the banknotes on the table back into his wallet. "I'm sorry, I'm very satisfied with my current job. And I don't like flashy decorations." He suddenly remembered a sentence from the magician, and the corners of his lips could not help but smile, "If you can, you can Is my winning bet discounted to me?"

Visible surprise flashed across the producer's face. "Of course." He nodded. "Even if you reject my marriage proposal, it's still your winning bet. I'll find someone to revaluate it. It's been in my family for over 100 years."

"I hope it's not too troublesome." Shi Rui put the wallet back in his handbag and stood up from his seat, "Well... I'm not very familiar with these 'conventions', if someone disturbs your guest's mood, usually you will choose ...?"

"It seems that you really don't quite understand. They just want to seek excitement, and any 'accident' is also a kind of excitement to them. You can let go and do it, and my people will not interfere with you."

"Thank you."

Shi Rui walked to the cabin on the other side for the second time.He opened the hatch with a little effort, then tapped on it with his knuckles.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I suppose you wouldn't mind being interrupted a little?"

Hardly anyone looked up at him.Men and women intoxicated in desire gnawed at each other like crazy, and the pleasure was like a tide breaking a bank, making them lose their previous judgment.

"I just want to find someone. However, the lighting here is really poor, it may be a bit difficult to find, and I need your cooperation."

Shi Rui walked into the lounge, and picked up the two bodies by the door.There is no magician in it.He threw the man out of the cabin in disappointment.The collision of the flesh made two bangs on the wall made of steel.

After he threw out seven or eight people in the same way, finally a young man rushed towards him with an angry expression. "I have to tell you that your boxing skills are terrible, and the stability of your lower body is even worse." He grabbed the young man's wrist, easily dislocated the wrist bone, and then kicked the young man flying out of the ground. On several men and women who were just about to struggle to get up from the cold floor.

"Aha! Clifford, here you are!"

Before Shi Rui could make a move, the people around the magician had already scattered in all directions.The chill emanating from this oriental beauty made them regain their brief sobriety at last.

"Huh...?" The magician blinked vigorously, but his eyes still couldn't find the focus.

"It seems that you haven't learned your lesson yet." Shi Rui smiled and stroked the magician's cheek, the coolness on his fingers made the magician shiver uncontrollably.

"Tell me, Clifford, are you well?"

"No! It's not comfortable!" The magician suddenly answered loudly as if a certain memory had been recalled, and then his eyes lost focus again.

"Very good, I will find a way to solve the small problems between us." Shi Rui looked around, making sure that he couldn't find the magician's outfit from a pile of messy clothes.He casually tore off the sofa and wrapped it around the magician, then directly carried him on his shoulders.

The magician let out a groan of discomfort.

"I'll take you to blow some air. You need some oxygen now, don't you?" Shi Rui patted the magician on the back.

"Um……"

When Shi Rui set foot on the rear deck again, the bright moonlight that was once covered by thick clouds illuminated his face.His smile was so cold that there was no warmth.

"Are you going to take him off the boat?" The producer was still sitting in his seat, and even the cards on the table remained the same as the previous round.

"He needs to wake up." Shi Rui said as he walked towards the stern.

"How on earth did you do it? I said the ace of squares." When Shi Rui passed by, the producer lightly tapped Shi Rui's hole card on the table with his fingers.

"Gambling is meaningless if you don't rely on luck." Shi Rui climbed up the railing.Although carrying a person, his movements are still clean and neat.

"Really?" the producer muttered in a low voice.

Behind him, there was a loud sound of water.

The producer touched his empty pocket again, where there was an ace of diamonds that he hid on purpose.

"You are too dangerous, even for a wolf in the desert."

He turned his head to the empty deck and said.
