Chapter 731
Seeing the walls parting like thin paper, Zhou Yu didn't feel surprised at all.It was as it should be, a voice inside him whispered.

"Then I'll go find him."

His lips opened and closed on their own, and he said in a light and gentle tone: "There is no need to make a deal, I will go and pull that money snake out of its den."

"Hey, the little girl is really active now."

The short fat man said with a smile: "Then please. It's okay if the princess wants to go together, but I can't tell you my master's address directly."

Hongye gave him a cold look, and finally said nothing.Humpty Humpty suddenly raised his hand and threw a hard object to Zhou Yu.

"Please, this is your identity card, little girl. Bring it to Osir, and you've won the bet."

Zhou Yu caught the thing he threw, and then opened his palm to examine it.That was the chip that Humpty Humpty had held in his hands before.Trimmed in heavy silver, it's engraved with butterflies in opaline crystal on the inside.

He flipped the chip over, and the face value was engraved on the front with 1 .

"Fancy stuff."

He put his palms together and stuffed them into his pockets, then walked to the gaming table.Humpty Humpty was still smiling, looking at him with those eyes that seemed to be shining.

"Please. Gambling here is voluntary."

"I understand. But before that, there is one more thing to explain."

click.The switchblade popped cleanly from the blade.

He stepped onto the table and sent the sharp metal into the opponent's eye socket.

The slight shock when the sphere burst, and the warmth of the mixture of aqueous humor and blood made him feel buoyant.Even the screams of the women around at this time turned into beautiful music.

"This time it's a warning."

He drew the blade and stepped back from the table.

After the blade was separated from the wound, the flesh and blood around the opponent's eye sockets began to squirm violently.The cracked and shriveled eyeballs bulged and became round again like a water-filled plastic bag.Within half a minute, the other party's eyes returned to normal.

In this regard, Zhou Yu was not surprised at all.He smiled and ran his fingertips over the blade.

"Next time, if you look at me like this again, it will freeze both of your eyes."

The words he uttered are no longer composed by the mind, but directed by the body, and flow out of the lips naturally.Humpty Humpty rubbed the pierced eye and laughed.

"Ah, the little girl has a bigger temper than my own mother..."

"Stop talking too much, Motian." Hongye interrupted him, "If you speak out loud again, you will only suffer yourself in the end. Give me a chip too."

"You don't have to do that, do you?"

"Bring it. You asked for it by the rules."

Humpty Humpty's face wrinkled.He rummaged through the table with his stubby fingers for a long time, and finally threw a deep purple crystal chip.The face value on it is 1000.

"There is nothing more suitable for a small place, so you can use this reluctantly."

Hongye didn't object.She silently put the chips into her pocket, then walked through the holed wall towards the ramp leading to the night market.

Humpty Humpty was still smiling, but when Zhou Yu looked at him, the green light in his eyes seemed to disappear.

"Please." He gestured to see Zhou Yu off.

Zhou Yu looked at the five skull rings between his fingers, turned around and followed Hongye.

The slope that appeared from behind the wall was not a rough mud tunnel, but a brand new and clean asphalt road, which looked like the entrance of an ordinary underground tunnel.The slope of the road is extremely gentle, but the bottom is indeed a private room leading to an underground casino, so the journey is longer than ordinary ramps.At the end of the ramp, water from the street was trickling down, forming dark spots in the shape of rust.

Above the eclipse hangs a crescent silver bright as a scimitar.As the two approached the silver moon, it seemed as if they were climbing the steps leading to the guillotine.

"... Hongye, what does this bargaining chip mean?"

When I reached the middle of the ramp, the throbbing pain in my head gradually subsided.As if suddenly awakened from a sleepwalking, Zhou Yu took out chips from his pocket and asked.

"This is a certificate... It can also be said to be a kind of ceremony. Holding it is equivalent to holding a certain oath itself made by the other party in advance. In short, it is something to ensure that the other party will not renege. However, once you accept it , which means that you have also agreed to the other party's request."

"Is there any difference in what we take?"

"The binding force of the two is different. The lightest oath can't bind me. They don't want me to break the rules."

"In other words, the above value is equal to the difference in combat power."

Hongye coughed lightly, and said a little unnaturally: "It's not that exaggerated. It's not so much ability, it's more like age... Forget it, don't ask."

The two climbed to the top of the ramp while talking.Zhou Yu looked around and found that they were in a completely unfamiliar street.Surrounded by high-rise buildings and bright lights, the hustle and bustle of the crowd can be heard from a distance.

Everything is the daily scene of the Hongsen business district, except for the street itself: Not only are the doors on both sides of the road closed, there are even no street lights, and only the moonlight shines on the dark road.

Zhou Yu took out his phone and glanced at it.It's nine o'clock in the evening. For people with rich nightlife, this can only be regarded as the time to start warming up.

"Let's go, go to Osier Road first."

He greeted Hongye and walked towards the tall buildings in the distance.However, Hongye didn't keep up, just stood there and sighed for a long time.

"Zhou Yu, please look back."

Zhou Yu turned around as she said.Behind him and Hongye is a flat and straight asphalt road.The ramp protruding from the casino wall has disappeared without a trace.

"This is……"

"This is why the alley will disappear, Zhou Yu. I'm really sorry about this matter. I thought it was another person who I would find tonight. I didn't expect Aosier to send this guy out... so it will be more Trouble."

While Hongye explained, she kept sighing.Seeing her troubled look, Zhou Yu couldn't help saying, "He doesn't seem to dare to do anything to you."

"It is true that if he wants to harm me, he does not have that ability. But he is not my father's servant, but Osir's. If Osir cannot be found, I cannot directly order him to do anything .”

"...does your family use some kind of medieval vassalage?"

"What is the vassal for?"

Zhou Yu just shook his head.Now is obviously not the time to give Hongye a history lesson.He asked, "Is Osir the one you're looking for?"

"Well. He was my father's former housekeeper."

"What is his relationship with Osall Road?"

"It's his name. . . The man is terrible at taste. You don't have to take it too seriously."

Hongye kept sighing again.

"Let's explain it this way. This city is jointly managed by multiple people - I don't mean the role of police and officials, but more real managers. Each manager can only control a specific area. For example, Os Er, his management area is the Hongsen area. In this area, he has absolute command power."

"Like a lord? Have a small independent fief in the entire kingdom? Taxes and troops are in their own hands?"

"Well, this statement is also very appropriate. Yes, they are the lords. Although the person who holds the title of lord is Aosier, he continues to transfer his power to his subordinates, just like the person you saw just now , is to have the power to 'change the terrain of the city'."

"Is there any reason to hand over such an important ability to a fat man casually? What kind of professional city designer is that fat man?"

"No, maybe it's just because of boredom."

Momiji brushed her hair lightly.Under the moonlight, her eyes seemed to become shallow and bright.

"...Because my own design can't bring me freshness, I throw it to a completely different person to see what the other person will make. This is the logic of Osir's actions."
