Lu Mingfei Returns from Monster Hunting

Chapter 154 Betting on Your Loneliness

"If you play Interstellar, you will be fine..." Su Xiaoqiang cried.

"Who is the gatekeeper?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"You will see it soon." Gao Mi said, "I studied ancient books on this topic when I was a student in the academy. The characteristic of alchemy fans is that there must be a rule that can escape. This is the way to create alchemy fans. A foundation that not even a gatekeeper can violate."

"Like some kind of language?" Lu Mingfei gradually understood.

"Yes, you should have guessed it, this is a world built by the Dragon King, a maze that exists underground in BJ."

Gao Mi's voice was weak.

"Here, all the rules of reality don't apply, even if you don't have food and water, you won't grow old and die, you'll just get weaker and lonely..."

He slowly opened his shirt, the skin on his chest was sticking to his ribs, as thin as a stick.

Shocking body... Lu Mingfei shifted his gaze to Su Xiaoqiang...

Su Xiaoqiang covered her clothes, blushed and said, "Girls are different from boys, they are not so thin."

Lu Mingfei came to his senses, scratched his head, and asked Gao Mi: "So what are the rules?"

"Texas Hold'em." Gao Mi replied.

"So trendy? The rules are actually Texas Hold'em. What kind of maze is this set up by gamblers?"

When it comes to poker, Fingel is a little more energized.

"I'm good at poker."

"It's a good thing to be good at. As long as you can win enough chips from the croupier, you can leave. Those who have lost all their bets will leave and come back next time." Wan Boqian said.

"Where's the bet?" Lu Mingfei was keenly aware of the abnormality, "Gambling always requires a bet, right?"

When the word "bet" is mentioned, it probably means that the eyes of the three people who have experienced it personally are all gray with despair and depression.

In the end, Gao Mi let out a long sigh.

"The stake is our solitude."

"As we continue to move forward on this subway train, the stakes will continue to increase. During this period, we have to endure the torment of loneliness. The more sad and desperate we are, the faster the stakes will increase. But we can never die...here... ..."

The only sound left in the carriage was the rattling of the rails.

After a long silence, Lu Mingfei turned his head and said to Su Xiaoqiang: "I called your parents and they were very worried about you. I lied to them that I was a policeman and promised to send you back safely."

"How do you know my parents' mobile phone numbers?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little puzzled.

Although she has seen a grotesque world in the past few days, her understanding of the Three Views remains the same and hasn't changed much.

After all, she is a girl, and her ability to accept is weaker than that of a man.

"Used some special means." Lu Mingfei held up the mobile phone with no signal and said, "You also know that we are not normal people."

"Oh~" Su Xiaoqiang was very sensible and did not continue to ask.

She has seen some super power movies, like this kind of mysterious organization, basically it will not reveal too much information to ordinary people.

What's more, the more ordinary people know, the faster they die.

After the excitement of the first meeting in the carriage, it became quiet again.

Lu Mingfei and Gao Mi chatted with Wan Boqian in a low voice, discussing information about the gatekeeper and the rules.

Finger ran to Su Xiaoqiang and asked about Lu Mingfei's high school anecdotes.

Lu Mingfei didn't even remember some of Lu Mingfei's dog-licking past at that time, but Su Xiaoqiang still remembered it very clearly.

Fingal listened and took notes.

These are all historical events. If Lu Mingfei becomes a well-known celebrity in the mixed-race world in the future, then he will have the opportunity to provide first-hand information.

In this way, time does not know how long passed.

The train stopped slowly.

Everyone can see the old platform outside the car window.

The concrete floor has green tiles on the corners, and the white ash on the walls is peeling off badly.

"Fushouling Station, in 1977, named after Geely."

The entire platform was only illuminated by an incandescent lamp covered with cobwebs, but Lu Mingfei could clearly see the name of the platform and the year it was built.

Gao Mi and Wan Boqian got out of the car first.

Lu Mingfei carried Finger out of the car.

"We are the ones who don't eat or drink here for so many days, not you. Why do you look like a sick patient?" Wan Boqian was a little annoyed.

She was plump when she entered the maze, but now her calves are as thin as candles.

"It's not that I don't want to go by myself, but I just think of living here for hundreds of years, so... I'm fucking shivering."

Finger put his arms around Lu Mingfei's neck, said with a trembling corner of his mouth.

"Just get used to it." Gao Mi said softly, "We're here, and the dealer is in front of us."

Lu Mingfei raised his head and saw a figure in dark brown linen sitting in the shadow of the incandescent lamp.

The croupier slowly raised his face, and that face almost made Fingel gasp with fright.

Dealers are not human.

It's a bone bird wearing a white mask!
But it has nine cervical vertebrae, nine skulls, and each head wears a hideous mask.

At this time, its nine heads were twisting left and right, and its cervical spine was bent, like nine snakes staring at them.

"Don't be afraid, the croupier won't hurt people." Gao Mi reminded, "It won't fight back even if you attack it, just treat it as a machine."

Four people sat down around the dealer.

The nine skulls of the croupier worked separately, carefully observed every guest present, and then threw a tin bottle cap in front of Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei picked it up and took a look. It turned out to be the bottle cap of "Arctic Ocean", which is a very old-fashioned orange soda made by BJ. It used to be as popular as Coca-Cola, and children's favorite.

The croupier threw dozens of dark gold coins to Gao Mi, dozens of dark gold coins to Wan Boqian, and a compass to Su Xiaoqiang.

On Fingal's side, compass and coins were stacked together, and it seemed that they had the most chips.

"Get rich, is this a gift package for beginners? I have so many chips?" Fingel smiled.

Gao Mi gave him a hand.

"Don't be silly, the bottle caps are the most valuable chips here, each worth a thousand dark gold coins, and the compass is only worth a hundred."

"Damn it! Why did you give him so much!"

After learning the exchange price here, Fingel looked at Lu Mingfei's bottle cap with only envy in his eyes.

A thousand dark gold coins, the combined chips of the remaining four of them are worth less than Lu Mingfei's bottle cap.

"The croupier divides the chips according to the loneliness in each person's heart." Wan Boqian explained.

Gao Mi nodded: "The croupier can know your state of mind by examining you. The more loneliness you have, the more chips you will get. After losing this round of loneliness, you have to go back to the train to accumulate money in circles without end." .”

He turned his head to look at Wan Boqian, and reached out to shake her hand.

"If the two of us hug each other and talk from the bottom of our hearts, the sense of loneliness will decrease, and the dealer will get fewer chips. If we ignore each other, we will get more chips."

"So every time we hold hands we reduce the stakes, it's just..."

His eyes were gray, but Lu Mingfei could see the smile inside.

"Sometimes I would rather sacrifice a little chance to leave here, and I want to hold her hand."

Anyone can see that they are a couple.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he was miserable, and that his loneliness was considered overwhelming by the croupier, and he ran into Kassel's dog lover several times on missions.

Ye Shengyaji, Yuanzhi Shengying and them.

The world is simply full of malice against him.

He has already started to think about whether to replace Finger with a reliable girl when he goes to Japan.
