After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 229 Palace of Bliss (2)

When he first became thugs in the Promise Hall, Ugin thought they were just fighting and sharing money.

Until later, when he saw with his own eyes that his friend who was called a brother and brother had lost the competition and was half dead, he was taken to feed him with unknown medicine.

"I didn't see clearly at that time. I didn't know what kind of medicine they were feeding. I only knew that after taking the medicine, he seemed to be alive again. He played no less than ten games in a row." Ugin said :

"In those ten games, more than [-]% of the gamblers bought him and lost. As for the remaining [-]%... those people are entrusted by the Promise Hall."

Ban Xiyu can probably guess how the follow-up will develop.She said: "But your friend won. Those who paid a lot of money to buy your friend to lose lost all their money. And Wuji Temple made a lot of money because of it."

Such defrauding of gamblers' money, Wuji Temple and Xunle Inn are really black-hearted shops.

Ugin nodded and said "That's right".

However, Lou Xiyue felt something was wrong: "What kind of medicine can have the effect of 'reviving the dead', it is simply unheard of."

Ugin said: "I don't know what the medicine is. Besides, it can't be regarded as bringing the dead back to life... My brother... died after winning those ten games."

Speaking of this, Wujin's throat choked: "I realized that my brother was most likely killed by their medicine, so I wanted to report to the police. But before I escaped from here, they arrested me stand up."

Wu Jin didn't expect that Wuji Temple also had a group of thugs, and their skills were not bad.He was beaten, then thrown into a cell and locked up.

It was only at this time that he realized that the water in the Wuji Hall was so deep that it could hardly see the bottom.

"I saw a lot of people in the cell who are like me, and are thugs like me." Ugin said, "Among them are some faces that I am familiar with, and some are gamblers who went to the Promise Hall for fun before."

"Gambler?" Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue looked at each other, and immediately asked, "What's the explanation? Why did the gambler become a thug?"

Ugin had asked the same question in private.He said: "The reason why they become thugs is because they owe money to Wuji Temple."

After all, the gambler's capital is limited.They squandered everything on the gambling game, and they couldn't pay their bets, so Wuji Temple detained them.But Wuji Temple was not in a hurry to ask the gamblers to pay back the money, but instead gave a way out:
"The boss of the Promise Palace let those gamblers pay off their debts with their work—they work as a thug for a day, and they will pay for a day's gambling until all the debts are paid off."

Ugin said: "But paying off the debt like this will never be paid off. Those gamblers don't have much work, and they can't win a few games when they go up to the competition. If they can't win the game, they can't pay back the money. In the end, they were beaten to death, and they died. Being fed that drug—”

"It was the same drug that was given to my brother in the first place - and not long after that, the gamblers died too," he said.

"..."

After hearing such words, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue knew what was going on.

In the beginning, Wuji Temple first hired some young and middle-aged men who were short of money, and asked them to be the thugs of the casino.They use the casino to harvest a sum of money, and use some inhuman methods to deceive the gamblers, so that they will be used by the Wuji Palace willingly.

The thugs started one game after another for the Wuji Palace. The gamblers injected money, and the Wuji Palace operated in secret to absorb the wealth, and the gamblers ended up as thugs.

When a group of thugs die, new gamblers will become puppets of the next batch.

In this way, there is no end to it.

Lou Xiyue said: "The boss behind Wuji Temple is very good at 'doing business', this deal is really a bargain."

"It's just that I don't know who is the behind-the-scenes boss of Wuji Temple and Xunle Inn. They did such unnatural things on the border of Xunjiang Town. If they can't be brought to justice, I don't know how many people will be killed because of it." Ban Xiyu said.

The Promise Hall wantonly imprisoned people and abused drugs, resulting in many deaths.Detaining multiple charges is enough for several rounds of Qiu Houwen's beheading.

It's just that they figured out the ins and outs of the gambling game, but they didn't find any clues about the refugees.

Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue wanted to investigate further, but at the other side of the Promise Hall, because of the disappearance of No. 16 thug Ujin, the scene was already in chaos:
"Where is the man, where did he go? It seems that he is about to play, why is he missing?"

"This, this... I, we don't know... Just, just now, I saw him standing there motionless, but who knows that he disappeared in a blink of an eye..."

"Idiot, go find someone, what are you doing here!"

"Wait, wait, I remembered. When I was clearing the venue just now, I saw two people coming over. They said they wanted to take NO.16 back, and then NO.16 couldn't be found!"

"What two people, where did the two people come from, what do they look like, what are their names, let me explain clearly!"

The man was yelled at, and immediately stumbled and replied: "Those two people... Although they don't look familiar, they wear the same clothes as us. I just thought they were new here, so I didn't pay much attention. What, just..."

Hearing this, the person in charge raised his leg and kicked the handyman fiercely: "If you can't do anything, what's the use of keeping you! Go find someone! If you can't catch anyone, you will be killed in a while." You guys play for me!"

After shouting this sentence, all the handymen and guards around ran out to arrest people.

Wen Jisheng rushed to the street in a rampage. At that time, the excitement of the summer festival had long since dissipated, and there were only deserted stalls left in the streets and alleys.

The cool wind blowing from a distance blows across the long street, making the streets and alleys look gloomy and gloomy at such a late night.

Wen Jisheng searched around, but couldn't find any traces or clues about Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue.He even blew his whistle and sent gray pigeons out to look for them, but they found nothing.

After a long time, I couldn't help feeling anxious when I heard the sound of silence.

A moment later, he and Fu Guan met on the street.

Fu Guan: "Any clues?"

Wen Jisheng: "No." He said angrily, "The two of them don't know each other well, where can they go? Damn, I said that they shouldn't be allowed to wander around. Now that's all right, something really happened! "

In comparison, Fu Guan was much calmer.He said: "The matter hasn't come to a conclusion yet, so don't get confused. Miss Ban is brave and resourceful, and Xiyue is superb in martial arts. They are all careful people. Even if an accident happens, they won't have no ideas at all."

He said: "Look again, maybe they can't get in touch with the outside world for the time being. I think, with their ingenuity, Yidao will find a way to meet us."

That's what he said, but Wen Jisheng still couldn't help worrying.

He walked back and forth anxiously for a few steps, determined to go further to the outskirts of Xunjiang Town to find it.

Wen Jisheng said: "Let's search separately - I will go to the north to search again, and you can look elsewhere."

After finishing speaking, he leaped into the air, crossed the wall, and was about to fly towards the street to the north.

But as soon as he stood firmly on his feet, he looked into the distance with his eyes, and suddenly saw a fire suddenly lit up somewhere in the northwest!

Wen Jisheng stopped moving, and said in surprise: "Fu Guan, there is movement in the northwest!—"

*
"That's all I know." Ugin sighed, and then said:
"Since you are sent by the government, you must have a way to take over this man-eating inn and casino. Please save me, I can't stay in this place, this place for a quarter of an hour!"

Ever since he arrived in this shitty "Promise Hall", he hasn't had a good night's sleep.Treated like a slave every day, except for the competition, it is a competition, and the place to live is still a prison cell!

He didn't dare to lose, didn't dare to show any slack, let alone make himself look tired.He didn't want to be fed those weird medicines because he couldn't bear the pressure of the competition like everyone else.

Once he took that strange medicine, he would definitely die!

Ugin didn't want to die, he wanted to live, he wanted to live!
"When will the government's reinforcements arrive?" Ugin asked eagerly, "Can the two adults rescue us tonight?"

When the reinforcements would come, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue couldn't give an answer, because there was no so-called reinforcements from the beginning to the end.

It was only by chance that they came to the Promise Hall, knocked out two servants, put on their clothes, caught Ugin, and talked to him.

What's more, the Wuji Hall is located underground and the space is closed, so they couldn't find a chance to get in touch with Wen Jisheng and Fu Guan.

However, those trapped in the dungeon can be rescued.

Lou Xiyue replied: "Human, we will save it. But since we need to save it, as much as we can save - where are the rest of the people imprisoned with you? Can you show us the way?"

"Of course, the two adults come with me—"

With that said, Ugin took the lead to walk out of the dark passage.The three of them had just arrived at the fork in the road, when suddenly, there was a loud scolding sound not far ahead:

"Scatter to find, hurry up! If you can't catch NO.16, you just wait for the board!"

"You guys, go over there and look for it: and you, go ahead and have a look!"

"Yes!"

While speaking, several men dressed as guards rushed over.They searched around along the secret passage, with great momentum and fierce behavior, even any box they passed by.

Seeing this scene, Ugin retracted his tentative feet immediately.With a face full of horror, he looked at Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue asking for help: "What to do, what to do? They, they are chasing after you!"

So many guards, only three of them!With many enemies and few, they have no chance of winning at all!

At this time, Lou Xiyue stepped forward to block it.She hid behind the stone wall, glanced in the direction of the guards, and whispered, "Don't panic. They haven't found this place yet, and we still have time to escape."

Ban Xiyu asked: "The visitor is not kind, what should you do?"

Hearing this, Lou Xiyue lowered her head and thought for a while, then bent down to pick up an unremarkable pebble from the ground.

She grabbed the stone and tossed it lightly, saying: "If you want to run, you must first lure the person in the way away."

After the words fell, she squeezed the stone and slammed it in another direction!
The stone was thrown by her on the stone wall of the secret passage not far away.The crisp impact echoed in the enclosed space, instantly attracting the guards' attention——

"I heard voices, over there!"

The guard at the front yelled loudly, and immediately took the lead in chasing in the direction where the stones slammed.

At the same time, Lou Xiyue protected Ban Xiyu and hid in the dark until the group of guards were drawn away, then hurriedly slipped out with Ban Xiyu and Wu Jin.

"Get out of here quickly!" Ugin yelled in a low voice, and then took the lead to turn the corner, and then ran into another secret passage.

But before they walked out of this road, there was a faint candlelight flickering not far ahead obliquely, accompanied by guards and handymen who were constantly searching.

Lou Xiyue paused, and swiftly took Ban Xiyu and Wu Jin out of sight.She looked around, only to see that there was another way to go in the opposite direction.

Lou Xiyue: "It's important to avoid the pursuit first, let's take a detour."

Therefore, the three of them could only turn around and find another way out.

Fortunately, they ran fast, and the pursuers hadn't caught up yet, so they were safe for the time being.But they walked along this secret passage for a while, and suddenly realized that it was a secret passage leading to a deeper underground.

Compared with the casino just now, this secret passage is even more eerie and quiet.

Ugin couldn't help feeling a little scared: "I-I've never been here before. Will there be a trap ahead? Or, let's stop here and turn around, shall we?"

He thought optimistically: "Perhaps, those chasing soldiers couldn't catch anyone everywhere, so they searched outside the Promise Hall."

Lou Xiyue said: "You're thinking too simply. They want to arrest people, but they won't give up easily." She thought, if the Promise Hall loses a thug and makes such a big fuss, it's probably because she and Ban Xiyu found out Two outsiders are "playing tricks".

They are so powerful, although they want to catch Ujin, but more importantly, they want to catch her and Ban Xiyu.They were afraid that outsiders would leak news about the Promise Palace, so they blocked the news on the spot.

Lou Xiyue was secretly annoyed that she was too careless when going out this time, if she had known that she would encounter such an accident, she should have brought her sword.But at this moment, she only had a dagger on her body for self-defense. Moreover, there were so many people in the Wuji Hall, it was not easy to lead people to break through.

Lou Xiyue frowned, anxiously thinking about how to escape.

At this moment, Ban Xiyu suddenly grabbed her sleeve: "Xiyue, stop for a while. Listen..."

Lou Xiyue recovered from her chaotic thoughts, and was about to ask, when she suddenly heard the echo of a cry for help coming from the dark passage ahead:

"Help, help..."

"Come on, is there anyone... Let us out quickly..."

"Please, let us out..."

In an instant, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue looked at each other: "There is someone up ahead!"

Could it be the dungeon hidden in the Promise Hall?
Thinking of this, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue did not hesitate, and immediately chased after the voice.Ugin followed behind, feeling frightened for a while, finally gritted his teeth and followed closely.

*
Lou Xiyue walked quickly, she walked through the secret passage first, and then came to a relatively spacious secret room.There are tables and chairs in the Sifang secret room, and behind the tables and chairs, there is another door.

And here, the sound of the cry for help is right in front of you!

"The voice came from inside that door."

Lou Xiyue took a leap and jumped to the door.She poked her head out cautiously, and was stunned for a moment.Immediately afterwards, she walked through the door and entered--

Behind the secret door is a dungeon with a larger space.

Narrow prisons are surrounded by fences made of countless iron rods.And inside the cell door, there are countless people in shabby clothes.
