At the door of the guest room of the Stannis Hotel, not far from the Wayne Hotel, a large black man stared at the invitation in his hand in surprise. He looked at the waiter who delivered the letter and said in a very obvious West Coast accent: "Are you sure this is...
Was it given to me? Is it really true?"
"Your name is on the invitation, sir." The waiter had a very good attitude, said with a smile on his face, and made gestures with his hands.
The big black man turned the invitation over, but the first thing that caught his eye was not the complicated cursive English. A pattern that combined waves and boats showed a shiny gold color on the front of the black invitation. The black man touched it with his hand and found that it was
Real hot stamping process.
Then he found his name underneath, The Notorious, and underneath his nickname was his real name, Christopher Wallace.
Biggie has been away from this name for a long time. Except for his mother, no one calls him Christopher anymore. Since his last album became famous, the world has forgotten about the little black boy who was imprisoned several times.
Following the true tough guys of East Coast rap.
Turning over the invitation, Christopher found that in the lower left corner of the back of the invitation, there was a line of small words written, "The Great Western Continent welcomes you."
It was only then that Christopher snorted coldly. He knew how could those upper-class red necks invite a black rapper to perform, co-authoring a gambling boat.
This boat is quite famous on the East Coast for no other reason than it is the only gambling boat that has avoided all inspections by the Coast Guard and National Guard on the East Coast. It can be called a holy place for gamblers on the East Coast.
Of course, there are many similar gambling boats all over the world, and some are more luxurious than this. In order to squeeze out every gambler's money, they will drive the boat as far as possible and prepare all life on the boat.
Necessities can be taken away for several months.
The so-called gambling on the high seas in the movie actually refers to these gambling boats, and most of the gamblers participating in them are rich or noble. Every gambling game involves spending huge sums of money. It is difficult for ordinary gamblers to see the style.
Therefore, if it were just a gambling ship for the upper class to gamble and entertain, the Daxizhou would not be so famous. What really makes this ship famous is the magic lantern gambling game they release on the official website every six months.
The Magic Lamp Gambling Game claims to face everyone. As long as you encounter trouble, try your best to get a ticket to board the ship. As long as you win the bet, the Magic Lamp will solve all the troubles for you, just like the legendary Aladdin's Lamp.
This kind of plot is common in movies, so it is not that attractive. Everyone knows that there is no free lunch in the world. With such attractive conditions, it must be very difficult to win the bet, and then you have to pay if you lose the bet.
At what cost?
A sane person would think that this game is just another name for human trafficking. Those who are in big trouble and have to board the ship must have been separated from their relatives a long time ago, and the police will not care about them. It would be better for everyone if they just disappear.
, is simply a perfect target for trafficking.
However, some people have questioned this argument. On the one hand, ordinary gamblers have used gorgeous words to describe the extravagance of the Atlantic Ocean. They said that it is like another country, and there is huge wealth from the ocean buried under the cabin.
.
They are so rich and can build a boat that can evade all coast guard searches without anyone noticing. Why do they still care about the benefits of human trafficking? And if they want to sell, why don't they sail it once a month?
There are a lot of people in trouble in the world. As long as you drive frequently enough, you don't have to worry about someone not taking the bait.
There are legends about the Atlantic Ocean, and the two sides are at odds with each other, but this does not prevent the rich from the east coast and those losers who are truly desperate from boarding the ship.
What really pushed the ship's reputation to the top was another rule of the Magic Lamp Game - people on the ship could challenge a random person to a gambling challenge, and that person didn't have to be on the ship, anywhere, or even
It is someone known to the person making the challenge, as long as his name and identity information are available.
After the challenge is raised, the Daxizhou will send an invitation letter to the challenged person. The other person can choose to accept or not accept it. If he chooses to accept it, he can board the ship on a selected day. Once he wins, the prize that originally belonged to the gambler will be lost.
All belongs to the successful person.
Of course, if the person who raised the challenge wins, the person being challenged will also have to bear the consequences of failure.
It sounds a bit unfair. After all, the challenged person has not encountered any big trouble, and the reward they receive is probably not what they want. But the interesting thing is that the invitation letter received by the challenged person will state:
The identity of the challenger.
Of course, the challenged person can refuse, throw away the invitation, and refuse to board the ship. No one can do anything to him, but human beings are like this. They are always good at treating revenge as part of their vested interests, even higher than any other interests.
Even if it's just to gamble their lives with each other, they still think it's worth it.
Christopher didn't want to get on the boat at all. Now he is in a period of inspiration dryness for album creation, and he still wants to find inspiration through music festivals. He is not one of those idle teenagers. He has to be busy with his own career and has no time for such things.
Messy things.
But suddenly, Christopher thought of the rule between the challenger and the challenged. Didn't this boat actually invite him to perform? But someone challenged him?
Christopher was shocked. He opened the invitation letter as if he had a premonition. Sure enough, another topic text appeared in the letter. It didn't matter what he said. What mattered was the final signature - "Tupac Amaru Shakur", also
It was his old friend and old rival 2pac who had a fierce conflict with him recently.
Christopher stood there silently. He couldn't figure out why Tupac would use such a method. Why was he so radical?
This is also a question that many people want to ask Tupac. Why are your lyrics and opinions so radical? Why is your attitude towards life so aggressive? Why is your rap style so violent?
Christopher held the invitation with a deeper expression on his dark-skinned face. Finally, he handed the invitation back to the waiter and said, "See you at the dock tonight."
The hand holding the invitation gradually became thin and slender. Schiller looked away from the black invitation. Hal looked at him and said: "Who have you offended? Or who can you still live to this day if you offend someone?"
?”
Hal expected Schiller's answer, and it must have been something like an old friend he had never met, something full of philosophical implications and contradictions.
As a result, he heard Schiller say: "Whoever he is, I'm not going anyway, I'm busy."
Only then did Hal realize that the current Schiller was not a professor, and compared to a professor, he finally looked a little like a modern American, focusing on profits and efficiency rather than settling old scores every day.
Hal approached and found that Schiller was holding a large tome in his hand. There were many messy annotations in it, but it was obviously not written by Schiller. Hal looked at it for a long time before saying: "Constantine? This is his
Book?”
"Yes, I just borrowed it from him. There is a very important issue that I need to study."
Hal looked at him as if he didn't know Schiller and said, "Then why don't you just go to Constantine? There should be no reason for him not to tell you."
"He doesn't know either, and he's a complete waste. It's better for me to find it myself while he studies it." Schiller quickly flipped through the book, browsing each entry, and quickly retrieved the information he needed.
Hal shuddered. Such Schiller was so strange. He was excited, crazy, and full of power. He looked like an engine that couldn't stop. Didn't those visitors from other worlds think about repairing him?
"Okay, you can find it. I plan to go to Lucifer's for another drink..."
"Don't run away, let's first tell you how the Green Lantern Corps is doing recently. Is the plan going smoothly?"
"It's not bad, but..."
As soon as Hal said this, he found that his cell phone rang, so he picked up the phone and said to the other end of the phone: "Hello? Oliver? Yes, what's the matter? Didn't you say you can't come? Okay, Schiller and I will go
Pick you up."
"Oliver is here." Hal said very happily: "I thought he was too busy to come. Now, we are all together again. We invite Clark and Diana, and we go to the bar to have a drink.
"
"You guys go... where was Oliver before?"
"Of course it's Mexico. He's been in Mexico. What's wrong?"
Schiller frowned slightly and said, "It's okay. You're right. We have to pick him up and give him a good cleansing. Let's go."
Hal looked confused. He felt that this Schiller was really difficult to understand. Why did he move here and there, spoke confusingly, and often contradicted himself? He had no logic at all like a professor.
Having dealt with the professor a lot, Hal was not afraid that he would speak slowly or not tell the whole story, because as long as he spoke, he would usually be very logical and point to the truth.
But this Schiller's words are vague, a bit like he is not clear, and a bit like he is pretending to be stupid. At the level of understanding, it makes people think that this meaning is okay, and that meaning is also okay, highlighting an ambiguity.
It always makes people feel uncertain, let’s take another look.
Hal shook his head, but the joy of Oliver's return diluted his doubts. He immediately took the car keys and went downstairs to drive, but Schiller said on the way: "Oliver should have arrived a long time ago, and I'm afraid he's waiting for us at the dock now."
, when we drive there, he will have to wait for at least half an hour."
"I heard during the day that Clark and Diana were playing at the pier. Why not ask them to pick up Oliver first and we will meet at the bar."
After thinking about it, Hal thought that what Schiller said made sense. Oliver had come all the way back and it was not good for him to wait at the dock for so long. It was better to let Clark take him to the dock first so that he could have a rest in advance.
Hal wanted to call Clark, but Schiller stopped him again. He said: "Call Diana. Clark will be as excited as you are when he learns that Oliver is back, and a person who is exhausted from the journey may not have more."
To cope with this excitement emotionally, it would not be good if Clark felt that he was being left out."
"Oh my god, doctor." Hal looked at Schiller in surprise and said, "You can be so considerate sometimes. If you continue like this, you will shake the relationship between me and the professor."
"I think he would be very happy."
It was such ambiguous words again, but Hal didn't have time to think about it. He picked up his mobile phone and went to call Diana. Because he was walking in such a hurry, he didn't see Schiller also pick up his mobile phone and dial.
is Clark's number.
