Be it humans or ghosts, all eyes were focused on the small gambling table.
Just now, the playing card the paper man drew was the Queen of Clubs, with a point of 2.
What Shen Tian drew was the 4 of spades.
But judging from the first round of card drawing, Shen Tian's poker points are naturally higher than the paper man's poker points.
However, this is the most fascinating part of gambling.
Why do so many people still suffer from gambling addiction and become obsessed with it even though they are clearly aware of the dangers of gambling?
Because it's really exciting.
The word gambling inevitably involves the gain and loss of money, and winning money is what gamblers desire most.
In this process, the most attractive aspect of gambling is its own excitement.
In a gambling game, everything on the gambling table is unknown to you and is uncontrollable.
Just like the gamble before me.
Before the end of the second round, no one knows who will win or lose.
Both sides have the possibility of a comeback or a fall into the abyss.
Not knowing whether to win or lose means that you will always have a chance to win before the game is completely over.
It is precisely in this highly tense mental state that the hormones secreted by the brain will make people's minds enter a state of high excitement and tension, and then burst out with a kind of crazy joy.
The same is true for Shen Tian at this moment.
He gritted his teeth, breathed heavily, and stared at the playing cards in front of him without even blinking.
This is what happens to people at the gambling table.
Before the outcome of this gambling game is truly determined, everyone will tense up and stare at the key points on the gambling table attentively.
However, Shen Tian's opponent is not human.
now.
The face of the paper man still has the stiff outline of the facial features. It does not know how to be nervous, and it has no nerves to tense it.
Soon, it took the second card and pressed it under the palm of the paper without opening the card immediately.
"It's your turn."
At this time, the urging voice of the gambling shop owner came.
"It's really just a matter of luck."
Shen Tian took a deep breath, and then, as if to relieve the tension in his heart, he pulled his collar with his hand.
Something red hidden under his clothes was just a little bit exposed, without attracting any attention.
Lucky red paper.
This is his greatest reliance.
Since normal means cannot make a difference, the only option is to use supernatural means.
This is the safest way and is truly possible.
The red paper will affect his luck to a certain extent, allowing him to gain good luck unknowingly.
After quietly revealing the lucky red paper, Shen Tiancai stretched out his hand and took out another card.
This card will determine the direction of the bet.
If the sum of the single digits of the two cards is closer to nine-thirty, the more likely he is to win this bet with his life as a bet.
At this moment, ordinary gambling techniques and skills are completely useless, and the only thing that can be relied on is supernatural means.
"hiss……"
However, the moment Shen Tian secretly revealed a corner of the playing card, his expression suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.
Xiao Wang.
On the playing cards, a gray clown performing acrobatics suddenly stood out.
The unlucky color, like a posthumous photo, seemed to be alluding to Shen Tian's playing card pattern. Coupled with this unlucky number, Shen Tian's eyes suddenly shrank, and his face twitched violently.
His facial expression certainly showed how much he didn't want the card.
If it were Landlords, Shen Tian would of course wish that all the cards in his hand were kings and kings, so that he could act like a bomber and blow up his opponents until they didn't even have a chance to play their cards.
But in the nine-thirty game, the king and king are a kind of contradictory card that is both useful and useless.
Because whether you draw the big or small king on the first card or the big or small king on the second card, in short, since the big and small kings only represent half a point, no matter what, the sum of your final points will not be 0.
.
The worst consequences can thus be avoided.
But it is precisely because the points represented by the king and the king are too small, so in most cases, the income of such a card is extremely low.
After all, the probability of drawing a king after drawing a 9 is too dreamy.
Now, with the 4 of spades and the king, the final point is four and a half.
The points are too low.
The uncertainty is too strong.
"damn it."
Shen Tian looked at the dazzling gray and the points, and suddenly felt a chill in his body that went straight to Tianling Gai, making his hands and feet cold and unable to exert any strength.
Cold sweat soaked his clothes.
He felt that there might not only be two clowns like Big and Little Wang in this gambling house now.
In addition to the big and small kings, there is also a clown in this place.
That is himself.
Now, I really became a clown.
"Why does it happen to be at this time?"
He lowered his head abruptly, seemingly to escape, but in fact he was quietly looking at the red paper attached to his chest.
In most cases, lucky red paper can bring good luck to people.
But good luck cannot always be with you, especially when such good luck is brought by the supernatural.
When a person is lucky for too long, bad luck will follow.
And it's like a flash flood, just like paying off a debt. How much good luck you got from the red paper before, you have to pay it off with bad luck all at once.
In other words, one bad luck is the price for good luck all the time.
Just like this now.
Does red paper work?
It should be working.
But the effect is not to give Shen Tian good luck, but to give him bad luck.
A small king, for the current gambling situation, can be said to be an extremely bad situation.
Second only to drawing a poker card with a value of 5.
"It doesn't look good."
Li Leping, who has always had no sense of existence, is always paying attention to this life-related gamble.
He stood behind Shen Tian. Although he kept silent, he could clearly see the points of the cards Shen Tian had drawn at this moment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The situation is not good for them.
"What? You haven't opened the cards yet?"
But at this moment, the boss's voice sounded, and it even sounded a bit proud, as if he was deliberately mocking and mocking Shen Tian, who was sweating profusely.
This is its territory, and everything inside is within its sight.
Even if Shen Tian deliberately wanted to cover the cards in his hand to prevent others from peeking at the poker card points.
But in a place like this created by supernatural beings, how could an ordinary human hand cover up the truth?
"The boss most likely already knows the cards in Shen Tian's hand."
Li Leping looked around. Although he couldn't see where the person who made the sound was, he felt a sense of peeping from all directions.
Shen Tian also had the same feeling in his heart.
He also guessed that the poker points in his hand had most likely been clearly seen by the boss of this place.
But there was nothing he could do about this obvious voyeuristic cheating method.
Because this is the territory of a gambling house, and when the gambling house is the banker, the gambling itself is full of unfairness.
Unless he can clearly point out with irrefutable evidence that the other party is cheating.
Otherwise, if you accuse others of cheating without any basis on their territory, you might end up leaving one hand behind.
Not to mention in a haunted place like this.
"Did you lose?"
Although he didn't see clearly the points of the poker cards in the paper man's hand, Shen Tian had already guessed it. Since the boss dared to let him deal with the cards first, it meant that the outcome was already clear.
But Shen Tian's heart was trembling, even his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he was constantly thinking about whether there was any way to redeem himself.
Suddenly.
A pale hand passed over his shoulder and immediately grabbed the playing cards in his hand.
Before I could react, I only heard a "pop" sound.
Li Leping made the choice for him.
At this moment, whether it was cheating or regretting, all Shen Tian's thoughts disappeared as the points were revealed.
Xiao Wang turned over and landed firmly on the table.
The dark color and ridiculously small dots were like the scorching sunshine, making Shen Tian unwilling to take another look.
The cards have been turned over and everything is settled.
Now, looking at Xiao Wang who was slapped on the table after being taken away by Li Leping, Shen Tian felt that all his strength was being drained as the cards fell on the table.
The attack on the gambling house had not yet come, but he was the first to go limp and slumped down on the chair, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, without even the thought of resisting, and his mind went blank.
Recalling the lofty words he had said before, he felt like a clown boasting all over the place.
After walking around for a long time, nothing was saved.
Sure enough, g cannot stand randomly.
The slap in the face came so quickly that it caught him off guard.
"It's your turn."
Li Leping looked at the paper man expressionlessly, like a dumb kid who didn't understand the rules and didn't even know that he was about to die.
"Nana."
At this time, the boss smacked his lips, as if he was laughing at his ignorance: "It's true that I won't shed tears until I see the coffin."
"In that case, I'll send you on the road together."
After saying that, the paper man holding the playing cards immediately slapped the cards in his hand on the table.
"Snapped!"
The force was so strong that even the gambling table was shaken a few times.
The clear sound of the card table echoed in the quiet gambling house, like the sound of a slap on Shen Tian's face, which seemed to indicate that the outcome of the gambling game was determined.
Shen Tian, who had been lying on the chair as if he was depressed, was startled by the sound of the card table and subconsciously jumped. His limbs twitched violently, and a few drops of cold sweat fell from his head.
"Um?"
However, when he came back to his senses, he looked at the card that had been slapped on the table by the paper man, revealing its true appearance, and his expression suddenly changed from fear to astonishment.
After a moment of astonishment, the decadence on his face disappeared.
The heart-wrenching feeling of loss disappeared, replaced by a kind of sarcasm and ridicule.
"What a fool you are, are you trying to trick me with an empty card?"
Looking along his line of sight, he saw that the playing card slapped on the table by the paper man was completely empty, with nothing on it.
There are neither suits nor points.
This is a blank piece of paper.
How can a blank card with nothing be counted as points?
Let alone counting points, this card doesn't even have points.
But just when Shen Tian stood up from the chair and didn't have time to say a sarcastic word.
"boom!"
In an instant, the door of the casino suddenly closed, and the door latch automatically fell.
At the same time, the candles on the table suddenly began to sway without wind, and the light in the casino became brighter and darker.
The paper figures scattered across the tables also stood up at the same time.
Including the female paper man who had been standing at the front desk as the receptionist, all the paper men in the casino turned their heads stiffly at this moment, staring at Li Leping and Shen Tian with a pair of painted eyes.
Obviously, the playing cards became blank, which caused the owner of this place to be dissatisfied.
"You dare to cheat?"
The boss's voice sounded again, but this time there was a strong chill in the voice, and there was a feeling that he would break out and take action at any time.
Once you take action, this gambling house that was still able to gamble will instantly turn into a terrifying and supernatural place.
Li Leping is well aware of the risks involved.
But there was nothing he could do.
Because Shen Tian lost the bet just as he expected.
So, instead of losing the bet directly and letting the other party take advantage of you, it is better to break the pot yourself and directly use the supernatural power of the Forgotten Ghost to create a special situation.
"Cheating? Have you seen me cheating? If you throw dirty water on me like this, then I have to say that your place is very unclean. I'm afraid someone's eyes just like to glance around.
I accidentally glanced at the playing cards in someone else's hand."
Li Leping, on the other hand, looked calm and acted as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and he also implicitly stated that the gambling house itself was not clean either.
Of course he knew whether there was any trickery or not.
In the gambling shop, besides him, who else has the need and the ability to influence that pair of supernatural cards?
The boss also knew very well that the changes in poker must be related to Li Leping.
However, this is just like Li Leping's inability to accuse gambling houses of cheating on cards.
As long as the other party cannot produce evidence, Li Leping will certainly refuse to admit that the matter has anything to do with him.
Say I'm cheating?
Do you have evidence?
If there is no evidence, it is a false accusation! It is slander!
In fact, even if the other party can produce evidence, he will find a way to erase the traces of the evidence.
You take out one piece of evidence, and I'll make you forget the other piece of evidence.
Anyway, there is only one principle.
That is, you must not be regarded as the loser in the bet.
At the same time, he cannot be clearly cheated by the gambling house.
Those who break the rules will definitely cause the gambling house to reveal its truly terrifying side.
This is what Li Leping least wants to see.
If he had retrieved the hunter and had the short stick in his hand, he might not be unable to fight in this situation.
It's just that neither of these two conditions can be met at the moment.
The man-hunting ghost is still lying in the gold container, and the short stick was borrowed by the old man in the tattoo parlor to get tattoos.
It was precisely because of Li Leping's words that he refused to admit it.
A cold wind blew through the closed gambling room.
In the flickering gambling house, a few candles on the edge flickered for a few times before suddenly extinguishing.
In an instant, many dark areas appeared again in the gambling house.
However, in that dim area, when the candlelight disappeared, Li Leping vaguely saw several strange figures walking around.
"rustle……"
This was accompanied by bursts of very strange-sounding sounds.
It's like the sound it makes when paper rubs against the ground.
"Those paper figures?" Li Leping immediately guessed.
"Holy shit, Captain Li, this place is going crazy."
Everyone can realize how dangerous this place is.
At this time, Shen Tian was standing in front of Li Leping again, and the proud look on his face was immediately replaced by panic within a few seconds.
"Are you planning to take action?"
Li Leping narrowed his eyes slightly, alert to his surroundings, and prepared to fight to the death.
