Following the crowd, Lin Mo and the others entered a hall.
This place is very strange.
The strange thing is that the lights here are bright and there are many ‘staff’.
The staff are all neatly dressed men and women. The men wear white shirts and suit pants, and the women wear white shirts and short skirts.
They all wear a round mask with an exaggerated cartoon smiley face.
I don't know what my face will look like under the mask.
Anyway, the current situation looks quite strange.
This is a casino.
It's similar to what Lin Mo often sees in movies, but it's not that modern. It's an older casino and you can see things like poker dice.
There are more than a dozen windows over there, and passengers rush to queue up.
Apparently, he was going to exchange chips.
Originally, Lin Mo wanted to go over and queue up, but after seeing Lin Mo, a masked staff member immediately came over to the exchange room.
This is the name given by Lin Mo.
Because he was obviously treated differently, but this kind of difference and confrontation is a kind of respect. After confirming how many bets Lin Mo wanted to make, the staff member left for a moment. When he came back, he was holding a plate with a plate in it.
Stack of chips.
There are about twenty or thirty of them.
It looked like he was taking chips.
Lin Mo had no idea about these chips at the moment, but when he went out with these chips and saw the pitiful small chips in the hands of Zhang Meng and Zhang Xu, he understood how good his treatment was.
Zhang Meng ran over and counted the pile in Lin Mo's hand, then looked at the pile in her own hand, and immediately felt unhappy.
The difference is more than twenty times.
"Apparently, the nine o'clock event is about gambling."
Lin Mo said something.
He is the only one who can talk at the scene. He usually doesn't think that feeling happy now is the same as showing off luxury cars and beautiful women.
Very cowhide.
It's just that at this moment, the vast majority of passengers have no intention of coming up to play. Although they have redeemed their chips, they are not playing. What does this mean?
If you don’t understand, just ask.
Lin Mo saw a passenger who was so skinny that he could tell he was an old passenger just by looking at his cunning eyes and thin body.
The other party must know.
When the two looked at each other, the other person stepped back.
"come over!"
Lin Mo frowned and said.
There was no need to catch him. The other party trembled and knew he couldn't hide, so he could only walk over honestly.
The other party is not stupid.
Those with long mouths on the Silence are not ordinary beings and must not be provoked, and they cannot be run away.
If the other party wants to kill you, there is no other way except to kneel down and beg him to be in a good mood and show his kindness.
Resist?
Death is even worse.
Lin Mo told the other party not to be afraid, he just wanted to ask something.
The senior passenger nodded hurriedly and gestured to indicate that he would say whatever he asked and would never dare to hide anything.
Lin Mo gave the other party the pen and paper.
"If I ask anything, you can answer directly in writing. If it's just a simple yes or no, just nod and shake your head."
The other party nodded hurriedly.
Lin Mo pointed to the chips in his hand and asked: "Is this for gambling on the gambling table?"
The other party nodded.
"What happens if you lose?"
The other party immediately wrote: "Nothing will happen if you lose, but if you don't have any chips in your hand when you leave the casino in an hour, you will die."
Lin Mo was stunned.
This is equivalent to answering two of my questions at once.
That is, there are so many passengers, why don't even one come to gamble.
Because losing the chips means death.
But on the other hand, if you win, you will have more chips in your hand.
"If you have more chips, you can offset some of the punishments. For example, you don't have to go to bed, go to the dance theater, or use it as food."
The other party wrote so much.
Lin Mo basically figured it out.
In fact, for the sake of insurance, it is safest to take the chips and not gamble.
Because after an hour, the time is up, just hand over the chips and leave.
As long as you don't get greedy, you won't die in the casino.
This is like a score question in an exam. As long as you are not a fool, you can get it right.
But the fact is that not every question is 100% correct, there are always one or two people who write it wrong.
There are many reasons.
And at this moment, the only reason for writing the "subject question" incorrectly may be "greed".
People have greed, and so do nightmares.
Although you can escape by doing nothing here and not gambling at the table, you can only survive this time, but what about the future.
Who can be sure that next time it will not be selected as food and served on the table?
So on the other hand, what if you give it a try?
As the saying goes, if you win the bet, you can get more chips by turning your bicycle into a motorcycle.
According to the rules, chips can offset death.
For example, if you have a bargaining chip, you will not be afraid of being caught by the maid pretending to be asleep; for example, if you have a bargaining chip, you will not be caught having your intestines disemboweled on the chopping board.
With chips, you have trump cards and confidence.
Lin Mo asked the senior passenger, and what he said was similar to what he had guessed.
It is true that some people cannot bear the greed in their hearts and choose to take a gamble.
Leave life and death to fate.
"Have most of them lost?" Lin Mo asked.
The other party nodded.
"Someone won too, right?"
The other party still nodded.
As the saying goes, if one person can win out of ten bets and nine out of ten, it can only be said that the casino is quite fair. Otherwise, if one person loses out of ten bets, it is impossible to win.
Even if someone could win, it would be a deliberate attempt to let the opponent down.
Just like buying a lottery ticket.
If no one wins, no one will be stupid enough to buy it. There is no possibility at all, then it is a free gift, and no one will do it. But on the other hand, if there is a gap, even if the probability is very low, someone will take the risk.
Because most people feel that they may have the kind of luck that is unique to them.
Lin Mo really wanted to see if any passengers would give it a try at this time.
Waited for a while.
Someone really went up there.
Where there is the first, there is the second.
Then more people walked up and started betting on their luck.
Lin Mo found that the interesting thing about this casino is that even if you lose, you will not die immediately, and you can even have a chance to 'loan'.
But if you borrow one chip, you have to give back two.
This is obviously a trap.
But if you lose at the beginning, you can only jump down and borrow chips, and you may have a chance to make a comeback. If you don't borrow them, you will be dead.
Lin Mo was watching as a bystander at the moment. He found that there was a strange smell coming out of every gambling table.
Now one of Lin Mo's eyes still belongs to Sister Yue, so he can see things that others cannot.
If you look carefully, you can see that streams of red mist are rising from the gaming table, and then keep going upwards, converging with the red mist on other gaming tables, and then being sucked into it by more than a dozen speakers-like devices on the ceiling.
Um?
Lin Mo was stunned.
He really didn't pay attention to these morning glory-like devices at first.
Because the decoration inside the casino is relatively luxurious, I thought it was some kind of lighting equipment, but it turned out that it was not at all. Its biggest effect is probably the red mist from the mobile phone.
But what is this red mist?
Lin Mo's heart moved and he walked over.
He arrived at a gambling table, where two passengers were already gambling.
One lost.
One won.
The loser's pupils are bloodshot, and the winner's face is flushed.
The loser immediately borrowed chips and wanted to make a comeback.
The one who won didn't quit because he had a way out, thinking that even if he lost once, it would be fine, but if he won, he would have more chips.
Greed is most vividly reflected at this moment.
If you lose, you have to continue; if you win, you want to continue.
At this moment, greed defeated reason.
Lin Mo stared curiously at the rising red mist.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
For a moment, I seemed to sense something.
"Greed is a type of desire."
Lin Mo seemed to have seen something similar on the Glutton.
Desire and greed are the best tonic for some nightmares.
Maybe more attractive than flesh and blood.
Some nobles on the Glutton like these things. They produce desire and devour desire, forming a special cycle.
But on the Silence, these passengers are only responsible for output.
So where will these greedy desires go in the end?
Lin Mo looked up and observed, and found that these collection devices were connected to pipes behind them, and the pipes were connected from the ceiling to the outside.
Curiosity arose.
Lin Mo wanted to see where these pipelines of desire would lead.
So he told Zhang Meng and the others not to gamble at the table.
He just needs to survive this time safely. As for Lin Mo himself, he wants to follow this pipeline to see where it leads.
