The behavior of Li Leping and Shen Tian standing outside the casino seemed to have caused something displeased.
Just after the voice soliciting customers sounded for the second time, something creepy happened.
The motionless paper figures sitting in the casino all stood up as if they were alive.
In the sight, five or six paper figures painted blue were looking at the outside of the house with a pair of eye sockets without eyeballs. Although the stiff facial features could not express any expression, they were looking at those strange eyes.
The moment he arrived, Li Leping had no doubt that as long as the delay continued, these weird paper figures would definitely rush out of the gambling house.
"interesting."
However, compared to Shen Tian's confusion, his eyes were panicked.
Li Leping, on the other hand, stared at the paper figures with a calm expression, as if he was warning the gambling shop owner behind them through these strange paper figures.
"Are you... trying to buy or sell by force?"
His eyes were gloomy as he stared at the paper figures who had already stood up. His tone was cold, as if he was questioning the ghost who was asking for customers.
It is difficult to explain clearly in words what this kind of thing that knows how to speak is. After all, Li Leping would not jump to conclusions before seeing what thing spoke with his own eyes.
However, he did not intend to give in at this time.
If you give in to ghosts or things that are neither human nor ghosts, the outcome will most likely not be very good, and you will easily be kicked in the face by the other party.
"Let's take a gamble. Aren't you here just to get an answer? If you win, I will tell you."
In the bright gambling house, the yellowish candlelight shines on the stiff paper faces, which is particularly eerie.
Weird sounds continued to come from inside.
But this time, there are no new changes in the paper man.
"Does he know what I'm thinking? Or does it use some special supernatural means to predict the reason why I'm here?"
Li Leping did not answer, nor did he immediately agree to the voice.
He just observed the gambling house with an expressionless face and analyzed the operating rules of the gambling house in front of him.
"What the hell is this place?"
However, compared to Li Leping's composure, Shen Tian's forehead in front of him was already covered with cold sweat. He stared at the eerie paper figures in the room, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
The weirdness of this place was completely beyond his understanding.
Although he has dealt with several supernatural incidents, to put it bluntly, dealing with these supernatural incidents is like fighting ghosts. How could he encounter such an incomprehensible situation?
Can something that can speak, or even communicate with people, be simply defined as a ghost?
"It's okay to take a gamble, but what's the stake?" After thinking for a moment, Li Leping asked.
"If you win, I'll give you the answer. If you lose, I'll stay here."
Such a voice immediately floated in the gambling room.
"If you lose, stay here?"
Li Leping's expression moved slightly, and he instantly understood the true meaning of this sentence.
To stay here, to put it bluntly, is to hand over your life here.
It's just that the grammar of expression is relatively implicit.
Gambling has always been like this, both sides place bets, and in the end one of them will lose everything if they don't play, and no one can stop.
"If I win, I want you to answer the three questions I asked, and the answers must be positive. You can't hide anything, let alone deceive."
Li Leping finally agreed to the gambling shop owner's invitation, but he also made his own request.
When you come to a place like this, if you don't speak clearly and explain the conditions clearly, it's easy for someone to take advantage of the loopholes and get you killed.
Just like the human skin paper in Yang Jian's hand, he deliberately conceals some key information, just waiting for you to fall into the abyss arranged in advance.
At the same time, Li Leping also knew that he could not be led by the other party.
The other party said he was only willing to answer one question as soon as he opened his mouth. How could he just agree to it honestly?
He is not some idiot on the street, and of course he knows that when the other party starts bidding, he will definitely not call out the highest price from the beginning.
Negotiation is such a process. Before testing the other party's bottom line, you must first offer a price that is least likely to be tolerated by the other party.
Then, it’s a slow process of talking.
"Bargaining with ghosts?"
Shen Tian in front of him was listening the whole time. He listened to Li Leping's conversation with the gambling shop word for word, and he only had this thought in his mind at the moment.
"Is this really okay?"
He swallowed and looked at the candlelit gambling house with fear, fearing that Li Leping would provoke the gambling house to attack them.
"If you negotiate the price, it's most likely not possible, but I should be able to."
While there was no answer from the gambling house, Li Leping also said this to Shen Tian very straightforwardly.
Although it sounds a bit disturbing, it is the truth.
The premise of the dialogue must be equality. If Shen Tian comes to the door to clamor and make conditions, there is a high probability that he will be attacked by the paper figures in front of him in an instant, and then die here.
But Li Leping is different. He has this confidence and is not willing to be slaughtered like a fat sheep.
Just one answer and you want him to promise to bet two lives?
No white wolf with empty gloves can do this.
If this really happened, it would be better for him to rush in and fight the things in the gambling house.
If you lose, you will die. If you win, you will ask whatever you want.
"Two questions, two answers."
At this time, a voice finally echoed in the gambling house. Although it still sounded cold, it was exactly as Li Leping expected, and the other party also took a step back.
The requirements of the three questions were not fully met, but the other party seemed unwilling to really fight to the end, and added an additional bet to answer the question based on the first bet raised.
In other words, the gambling house cannot reveal its true horror until the prescribed conditions are met.
"Afraid?" Shen Tian said in disbelief.
He didn't expect Li Leping's negotiations to be really effective.
The weirdness in this room is actually willing to give in.
"It's not that I'm scared, it's that before we lose the bet, the gambling house can't show its most dangerous side. Just like the premise that the killing rules are not met, the ghost controller is actually a creature with a physique far better than that of ordinary people. It's just like
It has nothing to do with the supernatural."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Leping directly explained the truth behind the other party's seemingly giving up.
The reason why ghosts attack is very simple: people trigger the ghost's killing pattern.
In the same way, although these supernatural places look like old and dilapidated buildings on the surface, many things are actually made by ghosts. It’s just that the true appearance of these ghosts has been changed or hidden by special means. The final appearance may be
It's a wall, a table, or even a pot of water in a cup.
Since it was created by ghosts, it must follow the rules of killing.
Before the killing pattern is triggered, perhaps the boss of this gambling house can use some easily triggered killing patterns to prompt something to attack Li Leping.
However, these things that can be easily used are somewhat unsatisfactory in front of Li Leping.
Both Li Leping and the gambling shop owner who never showed up knew this.
Neither of them is sure of eating the other, so they can only take a step back.
"You are very smart."
A voice came from the house again, but compared to the previous dull voice, this time there was a hint of displeasure in it.
"Then go in according to the bet you said."
Now that the conditions have been negotiated, Li Leping did not hesitate and immediately pushed Shen Tian towards the entrance of the gambling house.
"Um?"
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them seemed to have seen something, their eyes suddenly stopped in one place, and their eyes became fierce.
After entering the door, you can see the front desk of the casino at first sight.
The candle burned slowly on the candlestick at the front desk, illuminating a strange figure standing at the front desk.
It was a paper figure with a female face drawn on it, and its body was painted pale.
The paper figure is wearing a light red cheongsam, and the cheongsam even outlines the graceful curves of the female paper figure. However, seeing such a scene in such a place, it is really impossible to feel the sexiness and temptation from the front desk lady.
, I just feel my scalp is numb.
Such a female paper figurine is standing at the front desk, and the facial features painted on her face are very suitable for her identity. Unlike those paper figurines sitting next to the gambling table with stiff expressions, the expression on this female paper figurine's face is a smile.
, just like the professional smile you show when welcoming guests to your door.
It looks very fake, especially seeing such a smile on such a paper figure, it really makes people have the thought of staying away from this place immediately.
The two people who entered the house saw the paper man, and the paper man also saw them.
At this moment, something happened that almost made Shen Tian jump off the spot.
"What do you want to bet on?"
This weird paper girl actually spoke at this moment.
The voice she spoke in was soft and pleasant, which actually made people feel pleasant. It was completely different from the cold voice that had just spoken to them outside the house.
However, just such a sentence made Shen Tian take a step back in shock, subconsciously wanting to stay away from this paper girl.
Because he saw it.
See clearly.
Just as the paper man's mouth opens and closes, a corpse hidden under the paper man's skin is also opening and closing its mouth.
The paper man making the sound was clearly the corpse covered by the paper man.
This is a female corpse. Since most of the body is covered, Li Leping and Li Leping cannot see the appearance of the corpse. However, through the exposed mouth area of the corpse, they can roughly judge that the corpse is dead.
It shouldn't have been long, even the skin color has not changed much, it looks very fresh, as if it has just died.
"Boss, the lady at the front desk of your store is quite chic."
Although there was no one alive beside him except Shen Tian, Li Leping still said such words, as if he was talking to someone.
"Hey, they're just a bunch of unlucky guys. They all stayed here after losing the bet. A few of them are pretty good-looking. It would be good to be the front desk before their bodies rot."
The familiar and indifferent voice echoed in his ears again, and it was this voice that shocked Shen Tian's hands and feet to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
What kind of being is this weird being who can obviously communicate but behaves like a ghost and treats human life like a doll?
"Lost the bet? According to you, these people are the ones who were dragged into the ghost alley and then forced into gambling by you?"
Li Leping was not surprised by the methods of the gambling house owner. He had already roughly analyzed the situation of this place. In his guess, the so-called gambling house owner should be someone who had been entangled with the supernatural for too long and was then corrupted by the supernatural.
A mutated ghost master.
That is to say, a freak who can no longer tell whether he is a human or a ghost, behaves and behaves like a ghost, and possesses the wisdom of a living person.
Although he can communicate with people, he is also an alien on the side of ghosts.
An alien whose consciousness is controlled by ghosts.
"They were not dragged in by me. There are always unclean things wandering in the alleys. They were afraid, and then some people ran into my gambling house, but I am not a welfare institution and I do not provide free money.
If you want to survive here, you will naturally have to take a gamble with me."
"But it's too boring to gamble with a group of ordinary people, so I asked them to choose a representative. If they win, they can stay in my gambling house for a day. If they lose, we can go to the West together."
The boss's voice seemed to be all over the casino, coming from all directions, and every word he said sounded extremely normal, but after listening to what he said, it would only make people feel creepy.
"Okay, according to the rules, newcomers who just come in will enjoy a free chip. However, I don't like chips here. It's a waste of time, so I will treat these words as a newcomer benefit for you. Hurry up and choose your gambling equipment.
Well, one round will determine the outcome."
The boss's voice continued, but this time it sounded a little urgent, as if he was urging the two of them.
At the same time, the paper man standing behind the front desk who resembled an employee also made a move at this time.
She moved strangely. When she bent down to pick up something, her limbs were extremely stiff. The various parts of her body had no coordination at all, and her limb joints had no flexibility at all like a living person.
Soon, she placed the gambling equipment that had been stored under the front desk on the table.
Solitaire, Mahjong, Pai Gow...
All kinds of gambling equipment that are common outside were put on the table, but every piece of seemingly ordinary gambling equipment exuded a cold atmosphere, and blood stains that had not been wiped clean could be clearly seen on each piece of gambling equipment.
The traces that cannot be wiped off seem to indicate how many lives these gambling tools have taken away.
There is even a circular turntable, which is divided into twelve areas. Each area has the word "death" or "life" written on it, with staggered intervals between them.
It is not difficult to imagine that this is a 50-50 bet.
People who are transferred to life can live, but people who are transferred to death will really die.
"choose one."
The person who spoke was not the "lady" at the front desk, but the boss who never showed up but was everywhere.
"Which one to choose?"
Shen Tian looked at the many gambling equipment placed on the front desk and was a little undecided for a moment.
However, there was no fear in his eyes, instead he was somewhat confident.
"It seems like you are confident?" Li Leping noticed the confidence in Shen Tian's eyes.
"Captain Li, to be honest, although I am not as good as you in mastering supernatural powers, when it comes to gambling skills, I have never lost to anyone. After you go out, you can go to Daxing Entertainment City in Tai O City to find out who
Don’t people recognize my name as gambling monster Shen Tian? Boss He there called me Mr. Shen when he saw me embarrassed.”
When he said these words, Shen Tian straightened up, looking confident and trustworthy, and even a little proud.
