"But, brother, you are lucky this time." The bald man couldn't help but chuckled when he saw that the bell hadn't stopped ringing for a long time.
Lei Ren asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"
"If the ringing sounds for more than one minute, it means you can relax for half an hour. This is a rare opportunity! There will be some good shows to watch later!" The bald man looked excited and hurriedly shrank from the bed.
"A good show? What's a good show?" Lei Ren asked puzzledly.
The bald man had already put on his shoes and couldn't wait to urge: "Brother, let's go! I'll tell you as I walk."
It turns out that there is a special activity in the detention center.
Whenever there is about half an hour of free time, the detention center will hold a duel competition. Each of the east and west districts will send a master to compete, and other inmates will place bets on whether they win or lose.
Except for 30% of the total bet going to the prison guards in the detention center, the remaining bets are divided between the two participating parties, their bosses, and the inmates who win the bet.
As for the proportion of division, it depends on the total number of bets and the final result, but no matter what, the winning side will get the big share.
"If you hold such a gambling-like fight in a detention center, you won't be afraid that the superiors will find out about it, and you won't be able to take advantage of it?" Lei Ren asked in surprise.
The bald man who had been silent until now suddenly sneered: "Whoever dares to tell the truth will live impatiently."
"Brother, don't worry, no one will dare to snitch." The bald man smiled and said to Lei Ren, "Let's not talk about who has the courage. Even if someone finally fights, there will be no snitch! The officer in the prison
They have all benefited from it, so how could they stop it? As long as there are no dead people, they can at best pretend they didn't see it."
"Aren't you afraid that someone will tell you when they are released from prison?" Lei Ren continued to ask.
"It's weird to be afraid of him! He doesn't have any evidence. Who will believe it! Every time the superiors come here for inspection, they will say hello in advance, so they can't see it." Baldhead said proudly.
"Oh, that's it." Lei Ren nodded, and unknowingly he and Bald Head had walked to the gathering place for the parade.
This is a very wide dam, surrounded by high walls covered with power grids. Let alone anyone climbing out from here, even birds with wings must be extra vigilant to fly out, otherwise they will hit the power grid.
.
Lei Ren was among the prisoners detained here, quietly looking at the prison guard on the platform.
The prison guard first asked all the prisoners to stand in a square, then took out the manuscript in his pocket and began to lecture step by step. After he finished the lecture, he began to let them go.
Compared with just following the rules, most of the people present immediately began to show their true nature. Several people stood in their own camp together, taking the prepared bets and preparing to place bets.
The betting was not as messy as Lei Ren imagined. Two people were sent from each district. One person was responsible for the registration and management of his own betting, and the other person was watching the person registered by the other party to see if he had enriched his own pockets.
Some bets were taken.
People who want to bet consciously line up in two pairs, first observe the two people who want to participate in the game, and then place bets on the person they like. The whole process is more neat and orderly than voting in an election, which is surprising.
Blade's expectation.
"Brother, which one are you going to bet on?" The bald man looked eager to try, obviously he had already decided who to invest his money in.
Lei Ren smiled at the bald man and said, "I don't have any extra money, so I won't participate."
"That's such a pity! For people like us who only come in once in a while, it's so hard for us to encounter such a big scene, and you actually chose to give up." Baldhead actually felt sorry for Thunder Blade while speaking, and hesitated.
After a while, he seemed to make a difficult move
It was a difficult decision, and he shouted to Lei Ren, "Brother, I see that you are an honest person, so I might as well lend you a hundred yuan. If we win, we will split it half; if you lose, then we will wait until you go out."
If you have money, please pay me back. Brother, do you think this is good?"
If I win, it’s half points, if I lose, it’s mine?
Baldhead obviously wanted to take advantage of Lei Ren, but at the same time he would take a lot of risks, so Baldhead hesitated for a long time.
Lei Ren smiled and said: "Forget it, I don't like gambling very much. Just treat this duel as a show of excitement. It's good that there is no pressure."
Seeing Lei Ren's refusal, the bald man didn't try to persuade him anymore. He pointed at the place where the bet was and said to Lei Ren, "Since you don't want to bet, brother, I'll go and place the bet first."
"Okay!" Lei Ren nodded gently.
After the bald man left, Lei Ren glanced at the people in the same room with him. Except for the glasses who were caught for prostitution and were still hesitating about which person to bet on, the rest of them had already brought their own money and headed towards the betting station.
Walked over.
Lei Ren was bored by being alone, so he couldn't help but stroll along the wall just now. Just like what the bald man said just now, it was a rare opportunity for him to come in. If he didn't browse carefully, it would be a waste of opportunity.
Thunder Blade walked around the wall and returned to the original place, while Baldhead and the others were back at this time and were waiting expectantly for the start of the game.
"Start!" Someone shouted, and the duel now officially began.
The two people from the east and west districts came to the circle specially drawn for them, rubbed the joints of their wrists and ankles randomly, prepared themselves for battle, and began to attack each other.
The contestant from the East District was a tall and thick man. Compared with his opponent, he was extremely strong and explosive. He had the upper hand in the fight between the two from the beginning.
However, although the contestant from the West Region had shortcomings in strength, he relied on his relatively short stature, faster speed and sensitive reactions to avoid several fatal attacks from the contestants from the East Region, and gradually reversed the previous decline.
Start waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Lei Ren retracted his gaze and turned his attention to the bald man nearby. He saw that he was so nervous that he clenched his fists and kept swearing in his mouth. He secretly kept cheering for the guy from the East District. At a glance, he knew that he had bet on the guy from the East District.
Although the two fought fiercely, their skills were too mediocre for a top expert like Lei Ren. Lei Ren bet that as long as he was allowed to play, he could definitely defeat those two men within ten moves.
personal.
While Lei Ren was disappointed, he shifted his gaze again and looked around.
I don't know if it was a coincidence, but a grizzled old man immediately caught Lei Ren's attention.
It's not that this grizzled old man looks strange or how old he is, but that this old man's feet are firm and stick to the ground, as if he has roots.
Lei Ren knows that such people either don't know how to practice martial arts and are born with a more developed left brain than others, or they have practiced martial arts since childhood and have become top masters through hundreds of days and months.
When Lei Ren was about to take a closer look at the grizzled old man, the other party seemed to be aware of Lei Ren's gaze. He first glanced at Lei Ren with his sharp eyes, and then calmly took a step back. His figure suddenly disappeared.
It was blocked by people squeezing in.
What a quick move!
What a natural action!
A simple movement by the grizzled old man had aroused Lei Ren's interest. The corners of Lei Ren's mouth slightly raised, like a child who discovered something new, with a curious look on his face.
The contest between the two continued, but Lei Ren was no longer in the mood to enjoy the duel. He quietly withdrew from the crowd and searched for the target hidden in the crowd with his sharp eyes.
There are too many people here, and they are all wearing blue prison uniforms, which brings huge trouble to Thunder Blade.
Just when Lei Ren was struggling to search for the trace of the old man, a huge and enthusiastic cheer came from the center of the crowd. Obviously! The duel that related to the interests of most people was over.
Lei Ren did not go to see the final result, nor did he join the celebrating team. He silently walked to the corner and squatted down, trying to take out a cigarette from his pocket out of habit, but found that he had already changed his clothes.
There is no cigarette in my pocket.
"How could such a powerful person be locked up here?" Lei Ren was still thinking about the previous paragraph in his mind. He concealed himself naturally and quickly. There was no doubt that it was the work of a master.
"Hmph, no matter who you are or where you are hiding, I will find you." Lei Ren looked up at the dark blue sky and swore in his heart.
…
"Brother, you are really my lucky star. I won a thousand yuan just after you came here." The bald man patted Lei Ren's arm and said happily.
Since returning to the cell, Baldhead has not stopped. Sometimes he takes out the money he has won to look at it, and sometimes he pats Lei Ren on the shoulder and explains to him his "way to win", as if because of the big victory in front of him.
Consider yourself an expert professor.
The corners of Lei Ren's mouth raised slightly, and he said to the bald man: "You just said that it was my coming that brought you good luck, are you ready to express it?"
Hearing what Lei Ren said, the bald man immediately became vigilant and said cautiously: "The food here is very expensive. I can't eat much with this thousand yuan, I'm afraid I won't have any."
Lei Ren saw the scared look on the bald head and couldn't help but secretly smile in his heart, but smiled on his face and said: "I won't let you treat me to dinner, I just want to borrow some cigarettes from you. Since I came in, I haven't smoked yet.
cigarette."
The bald man was stunned for a moment, and then said generously: "Hey, what did I think it was? It's just cigarettes! Brother, just wait, I'll buy two packs and come back."
"Let's go together!" Lei Ren stood up and the two of them walked out of the door together.
Inside the detention center, all personnel are relatively free. They can enter and leave the supermarket in the detention center with the consent of the prison guards, so Lei Ren went to the supermarket with Baldhead without being blocked. The two walked through a long corridor and walked towards the supermarket.
go.
Perhaps the bald man was too excited about winning money today. As he was talking and walking forward, he forgot to look at the road and bumped into a tattooed man who was walking up.
