MTL - Return of the Dead [Holo]-Chapter 98

There is a saying that if you are happy in love, you will be frustrated in the casino.

This sentence is somewhat teasing and seems to be making excuses for his poor poker skills, but to Mo Ran, this sentence is quite reasonable. She probably reflects this sentence, but it's the other way around.

Ever since Mo Ran can remember, her luck in gambling has been very good. As long as it is related to playing cards, regardless of whether it is Mahjong, Pai Gow, or poker...as long as she sits on the poker table, she will never lose, very small When I was young, I always felt that winning is a good thing, so she still likes to play this thing very much, but as she grows older, she finds that sometimes winning is not winning, but another kind of losing, and she is unwilling to play up.

Especially after arriving at university, Mo Ran ran around all day long for her livelihood, so she didn't have time to play this game, and then came the end of the world, and all the changes later left her with no time or energy to play this thing.

After a rough estimate, she hadn't sat in front of the card table for more than 20 years and played by herself. At the beginning, she pushed Gu Luen out. In fact, Mo Ran herself has a kind of self-confidence, she always feels I will not lose.

It's a pity that this kind of self-confidence was a little bit discounted when she sat on the edge of the table and began to draw cards. After all, she hadn't touched cards for more than 20 years, so, this hand was new, as if she had never played cards.

At the beginning of the fight, to be honest, Mo Ran panicked in her heart, but her face was always stable, and no one could see the flaws, especially Gu Luen. Knowing the depth, if Gu Luen, who was on the betting table at that time, knew that Mo Ran was actually panicking in his heart, he would probably be scared to cry.

Fortunately, Mo Ran's gambling luck has always been there. Even if he hasn't touched a card for more than 20 years, even if it is hand-made like chicken feet, it has not stopped this kind of gambling that is as prosperous as an old house. transport.

Probably this is also the reason why she has been in the bottom of her love scene and has been unable to rebound...

The three men playing cards with Mo Ran are going crazy, and the unattractive woman sitting across from her must be cheating! How could it be possible that you have never lost since you sat down?

However, no matter how many people watched, no matter how many people carefully observed, there was no trace of the other party cheating.

This is no longer within the category of cheating! It feels like she is a deck of cards, she can play whatever she wants! What's even more exaggerated is that as long as this woman starts to draw the cards, she has already won. The three men don't even want her to draw the cards, but the other party will be fooled if they can get started. What should I do!

The three men can be regarded as veterans who have been in bars and casinos for a long time. They think that their poker skills are quite good, even the skills of cheating are quite good, but in the face of the current situation, they also I felt my whole scalp go numb.

They bet at that time that they would play ten rounds, one round would be four innings in the southeast, northwest, and ten rounds would be forty innings. If they played fast, it would take about two hours, but now they have just played in less than an hour, and they have just played. It's been seven laps, and among these seven laps, none of the three of them can win a round in this woman's hands. If this continues, I'm afraid that at the end of the day, this woman will take away a lot of things.

Although it is said that as long as you are a gambler, you are already prepared to never get back what you put on the betting table, but no one can accept the fact that when four people play cards and all three lose, only one wins. Especially what they put on the betting table is not just a random thing...

At the end of the seven laps, the three men went to activities, went to the bathroom, and took a rest, so they directly invited someone to seal the table. Mo Ran agreed with this side. In fact, even if these three men did not propose to seal She also had to leave the table, because her disguise time was almost up, and she needed Gruen to cast another disguise spell on her.

Of course, Grun himself also needs it.

Otherwise, after the two people's disguise technique failed, the people in the casino discovered that two other races had mixed into the main city of humans, and they were still winning big in the opponent's casino. This may not be easy to explain, especially Yes, of these two other races, one is the dead who are being wanted by the main city of humans, and the other is the shadow of the heir of the elven priest, so it is even more difficult to escape.

Gu Luen also obviously thought of this, and followed Mo Ran out.

Outside the bathroom of the casino is a sunken type

Disguise is not a big deal among all the spells of magicians, especially in the eyes of high-level magicians, it is more like a little trick, so there is no need for any staff, it is just Spell-casting materials are relatively rare, but, as an elf wandering around, in order to conceal his whereabouts, these spell-casting materials are the last thing he lacks on his body.

I only saw him coming out of the bathroom, smiling and greeting people, he seemed very familiar, while shaking the water drops after washing his hands without grace, he looked very careless, but only Mo Ran knew that he used such a The movement was to cover up the gestures he needed to cast the spell. He walked out of the bathroom and walked to Mo Ran's side. After only five or six meters, Mo Ran found that his disguise buff had already been updated.

Gu Luen stood beside Mo Ran and said sincerely: "We are good friends, aren't we?"

"Why..." Facing such a sincere and cautious Gu Luen, Mo Ran immediately became vigilant, she took a step back calmly, and looked at Gu Luen's still shaking hands with disgust.

"You must win!" Gu Luen looked at Mo Ran eagerly, trying to continue to bless Mo Ran's good luck with his persistent eyes.

The corners of Mo Ran's lips twitched. She just wanted to say to reassure him, but she gave up again. She cleared her throat, but her face was slightly heavy. She looked at Gu Luen and said very seriously: "Who can say about playing cards?" Accurate? Winning or losing is not up to me, I can only say, I will try my best."

Originally, Gu Luen felt that today was safe because Mo Ran kept winning again, but now hearing what Mo Ran said, he couldn't help but raise his heart again, and he couldn't help crying: "You didn't say that at the beginning! ..."

Just at this time, a waiter from the casino came to Mo Ran, saying that a new round was about to start, and asked Gu Luen to return to his seat by the way, but he could only shut his mouth and use a kind of grief and indignation His eyes kept looking at Mo Ran, but Mo Ran felt so happy because he made Gu Luen's heart flutter, and even walked into the casino with ease.

The moment she walked into the room, Mo Ran suddenly felt a different aura coming over her face. This aura was similar to coercion, but it didn't affect Mo Ran at all, but she still felt this aura , she immediately looked towards the source of the momentum, and sure enough, she saw a stranger in the middle of the auditorium.

This is a man. He is wearing a black cloak and has neatly combed hair. The hair should have been waxed. Under the light, he looks particularly energetic, and he doesn't even have a hair that ran out of disobedience.

He just sat there, although there were still people sitting beside him, but it could be clearly seen that the people sitting beside him were more or less as quiet as a chicken because of the aura on him, the long black cloak on his body Hanging on either side of the chair, a decent suit peeked out from between the cloak.

People who can still wear suits at this time...

In any case, it will make people pay special attention, especially this man's face is still wearing a mask.

This is a half mask that can only cover the eyes, revealing the lower half of the man's face. He has fair skin, but it is slightly loose. There is a well-trimmed beard above the lips, and there is already a little white in the middle of the beard. , swearing that he is of some age.

Through the half mask, Mo Ran could still feel the other party's eyes were burning like lightning, extremely fierce, and with some arrogant arrogance, it can be seen that this man should also be a high-ranking person usually, only the one who has been in the high-ranking position for a long time People have such eyes.

This pair of eyes fell on her from the moment Mo Ran stepped into the room, and looked her up and down unceremoniously. It could be seen that she was extremely impolite, even extremely impolite, but Mo Ran Ran didn't care, because when the man was looking at him, Mo Ran also looked at him unceremoniously, and didn't give in at all.

In the deadlock between the two people's unyielding gazes, a slight smile appeared on the lips of the man at last. He first withdrew his gaze, turned to the people around him, and said something in a low voice.

And Mo Ran didn't continue to focus on him, and walked directly back to the poker table.

As soon as she sat down, she saw the waiter come over and asked the four of them in a low voice: "Would you like to start?"

After obtaining the consent of four more people, the game immediately restarted.

However, Mo Ran keenly discovered that the three people opposite him were different, not because of a different person or something, but that the emotions of these three people became more serious and tense. Even their attire has become more solemn.

It was as if they had unbuttoned a lot of buttons just now, and the look of opening their arms was no longer there. Although they were not wearing suits, their upright posture made Mo Ran feel that this was not playing cards, but that they were playing cards for no reason. There is a war.

Maybe the other party has already got advice from an expert, but it is more likely that someone has arrived. Without even thinking about it, Mo Ran knows that this person is probably the man in the cloak sitting on the audience stand.

What is the identity of this man?

Mo Ran didn't know the identities of the three men who played cards with her, but from their generous hands, generous bets, and a lot of interesting information revealed in their conversations, Mo Ran Ran easily judged that these three people were definitely not ordinary players.

Maybe their status and ability are not as high as Ming Yuechen or their elite team on weekends, but among ordinary players, they must be among the high-end players. Low.

What is the status of a man who can make these three players feel like they are facing a big enemy and are extremely nervous and caring?

While playing cards with the three of them absent-mindedly, Mo Ran seriously recalled the days when Ming Yuechen imprisoned him in the tower in his previous life, seriously recalled all the conversations he had with Ming Yuechen, and tried to find some information about the identity of this man from there. clue.

This man's status is outstanding, and the waiters around him are respectful to him. Mo Ran did not ignore the indiscriminate woman with heavy makeup sitting next to this man. This woman is the owner of the accidental bar. If there is nothing wrong with it , I'm afraid he is also the owner of this casino.

Mo Ran has not forgotten how arrogant the proprietress is when she treats other people, but now when she sits next to this man, she doesn't even dare to fill the whole chair with her buttocks, and her spine is stretched straight, which is quite obvious.

Seeing the tense and cautious look of the proprietress, Mo Ran suddenly remembered a very small incident that happened when she was lying by the window in the middle of the night watching the scenery outside.

At that time, she had just been picked up from the laboratory, still in shock, full of resistance and terror towards human beings, Ming Yuechen seemed to spend a lot of time with her during that time, and she gradually began to regard Ming Yuechen as a The object of being relied on, so I often ask him some questions about the Tiandu City outside the window.

She remembered that she was very curious when she first found out that the accident was brightly lit at night, and then she turned around and asked Ming Yuechen who was leaning on the bed: "What place is that?"

Ming Yuechen put on his clothes and got out of bed, and walked behind Mo Ran, he bent slightly, his arms wrapped around her slender waist, but his chin was lazily placed on her shoulder, and he asked lazily: "where?"

"There is the brightest place." Mo Ran looked at the place in the distance. In the dark night, the lights there were particularly bright, completely covering all other buildings.

"Oh, there." Ming Yuechen's voice seemed to have a soft hook, digging into people's hearts little by little: "That's the biggest bar in Tiandu City, by accident."

Mo Ran turned his face to look at Ming Yuechen, but the other party took the opportunity to imprint on her lips, sticking the warmth of human beings on her cold skin, but Mo Ran's attention was completely on the bar: "It looks like the owner of this bar must be very rich."

"Why do you say that?"

"It must be very expensive to open such a big bar and use such bright lights." Looking at the unexpected bar, Mo Ran couldn't help being a little envious. She has lived in poverty since she was a child. There is a deep longing and extravagance of poverty for wealth.

But Ming Yuechen laughed out loud, he hugged Mo Ran by the waist, and carried her to the bed.

"Am I wrong?"

However, Ming Yuechen touched the tip of her nose intimately: "I can't say it's wrong, I can only say that in the face of absolute power, sometimes, money is the most insignificant condition."

Later, they did not continue this topic.

Thinking about it now, Ming Yuechen's answer contained a deeper meaning.

in absolute power

Mo Ran chewed this sentence repeatedly in his heart, what did Ming Yuechen mean by his answer at that time? The owner of this bar is not actually rich, but has a lot of status?

Thinking of this, Mo Ran couldn't help but glance at the proprietress sitting next to the man in the cloak. She... has a lot of status?

no...

No matter how you look at it, this proprietress doesn't seem like the source of the tension of the three men in front of me, but Ming Yuechen's hint at the time clearly shows that the owner of this bar has a very high status...

etc…

At that time, Ming Yuechen had a special attribute in front of his answer.

absolute.

Absolute right.

He didn't talk about ordinary rights, and he didn't talk about high rights. He talked about absolute rights.

Who else has absolute power in Tiandu City? There is only one person, and that is the City Lord of Tiandu City.

All of a sudden, Mo Ran seemed to feel that she was enlightened, and she couldn't even control her eyes and looked at the man in the black cloak and mask.

Could this person... be the Lord of Tiandu City?

Probably because Mo Ran's eyes were too sharp and aggressive, the cloaked man who was concentrating on the game turned his head and looked at Mo Ran's eyes, and Mo Ran had a brief contact with him After a second or two, he finally closed his eyes and looked at the current game again.

However, it was as if there was a huge wave in his heart, which almost completely submerged her all at once.

In her last life, she was imprisoned in Tiandu City for such a long time. She knew the layout of Tiandu City very well, and even knew about the high-level officials of Tiandu City. However, there was only one person she had never met before, and that was Tiandu City. the castellan.

When she was imprisoned by Ming Yuechen's side in the previous life, Ming Yuechen's status in Tiandu City was almost below one person and above ten thousand people, and there was an endless stream of people visiting his mansion. They had appeared in front of these people, but there was a dark room behind the study where Ming Yuechen met them, and Mo Ran could run into this dark room. It was for this reason that she knew the high-level human beings well.

Only the Lord of Tiandu City, it is naturally impossible for him to go to his subordinates

However, now that I turn my head and think about it, the man in front of me is quite consistent with the identity of the city lord of Tiandu City from any angle.

If he is the lord of Tiandu City, then if he kills him now...would human beings completely collapse? Suddenly, such a crazy idea popped up in Mo Ran's mind, but just as soon as the idea popped up, she was suppressed by her rationality and calmness.

No, it's impossible.

Not to mention how many human masters surround the lord of Tiandu City, it is one thing whether she can completely surpass these masters with her own strength. Run out of the capital?

After the last time when the city tower was burned by himself, Mo Ran couldn't believe that the current defense of Tiandu City is still a blank sheet of paper. The most likely thing to happen is that he will die in Tiandu City.

It's not worth it.

Although Mo Ran hated human beings, she hadn't thought enough to sacrifice her life to destroy human beings. What's more, she just suspected that this man was the city lord. God knows if he was.

Even if he is, will human beings be destroyed if he is killed?

impossible.

No matter who is missing in this world, it will not affect anything, and the same is true for Tiandu City. Without this city lord, there will be other city lords.

Mo Ran, who had calmed down, suddenly laughed. Although she knew that her thoughts just now were very stupid and very impulsive, it was undeniable that when she thought of cutting off the opponent's head with her blade, she felt a sense of urgency. An unprecedented refreshing feeling, but unfortunately, this is just an idea, or in other words, it is just an idea now.

She is still looking forward to when this idea will become a reality.

It's different from one mind and two tasks. The other three people are extremely nervous. They are not only nervous because of the strength of the opponent in front of them. What's more nervous is that there is a big man who even the casino owner is silent.

Originally, their nerves were tense to the extreme, but at this moment, the woman on the other side laughed. In an instant, the three of them felt that their scalps were painful and numb as if they had been electrified, and they seemed to be hung upside down .

Especially, when the woman directly pushed the card in front of her, she said lightly: "Nah."

"Nonsense."

"Nonsense."

"Nonsense."

…

The few men have never suffered as much as they do now. Playing cards can turn into a kind of torture, especially if you know that you can't win, but you can't do it if you don't play. You must still be defeated by the opponent. The feeling of God of Gamblers stepping on the ground and rubbing back and forth is simply too painful!

After the last game of the ten laps, the three men were finally relieved and collapsed. At this time, it doesn't matter what the result is, and it doesn't matter if the bet is lost. The important thing is that they finally seem to be able to Get rid of this woman...

"Ah!!" Gu Luen was so excited that he was about to cry, he jumped off the betting table, rushed over and hugged Mo Ran, "Thank you for not losing..."

Looking at Gu Luen's tears almost rolling in his eyes, the villain in Mo Ran's heart almost beat the ground with a frenzied laugh, of course he was still calm on the surface: "Today, I'm lucky."

Three men: ...thank you...

At this moment, Mo Ran suddenly heard a deep male voice: "Give me a game."

Looking for his reputation, Mo Ran saw that the man in the black cloak who was originally sitting in the middle of the auditorium had already stood up from his seat. Mo Ran was sitting in front of the gaming table just now, and the gaming table was at a relatively high place. In addition, this man was sitting on the seat, Mo Ran didn't notice any difference. It was only now that she realized that this man was tall, at least about 1.9 meters. In addition, he was well maintained. If it wasn't for the lip There are two decree lines, and his age can hardly be seen.

Mo Ranshang looked at the man up and down, and by the way, pushed aside Gu Luen, who was holding him like an octopus and hadn't recovered from the ups and downs, and turned his body to the man, slightly After thinking for a while, he narrowed his eyes and refused without hesitation: "No gambling."

it's out

"Do you know who you're talking to?" The unexpected proprietress who was standing next to the man suddenly spoke. Her voice was indistinguishable, but it was still possible to hear that she was very angry at Mo Ran's rejection.

However, she didn't continue talking, because she was stopped by the man's raised finger at the next moment, and she immediately lowered her head, showing a very humble look.

"Can you tell me the reason?" The man was not as angry as the proprietress, but showed a shallow smile, which softened his serious face due to the nasolabial folds.

Mo Ran raised his eyebrows: "The reason?" Does playing hard to get count? But it seemed that the reason couldn't be said, so she could only roll her eyes, and suddenly looked at Guluen who was on the side.

Gu Luen was stared at by Mo Ran, and his heart was suddenly let go, and he immediately refused: "No, you don't even think about it, it's impossible! It's okay to be tricked once, Do you want to cheat me again? Impossible!"

Mo Ran turned back to look at the man again, with a regretful expression on his face: "Look, my bet is not willing to bet again, and I am a poor man with no advantages, so I may not have the bet to bet with you ,Sorry."

This answer is really beyond people's expectations. Even the man who has always been well-informed did not expect this answer at all. He was slightly taken aback, and then said: "I remember that you seemed to have won a lot of things just now!" , can’t these things be used as bets?”

Mo Ran laughed twice, "Money is like dung, how can a big man like you spend it with dung? Besides, I am not willing to bet now, so I have nothing to bet with you now, I'm sorry ..."

Everyone present: …

This is the first time I've heard someone talk so bluntly about not being willing to give up money...

Probably the middle-aged man was also shocked by Mo Ran's answer for a while before he spoke. Although his tone was still very gentle, he insisted that he could not refuse: "What if I must bet?"

"Then I still

"What's so difficult about it, I don't plan to bet on it, we'll just play two games..." The middle-aged man smiled: "Actually, the bet is just an added bonus, it's mainly for entertainment..."

"No extra heads, who entertains you." Mo Ran pulled the corners of her lips in disdain for the suspected city lord's statement, she turned around and unceremoniously collected her winning bet, and was about to leave.

"Wait..." The middle-aged man finally understood Mo Ran's intentions. After a long time, she didn't want to play two games with her, but she just didn't want to bet, and it's fine if she didn't. Want to bet yourself?

This... this... this is quite shameless.

"What?" Mo Ran turned to look at the middle-aged man, and even showed a shallow and smug smile on her lips: "Are you going to bet?"

Mo Ran claims that she is not a stingy person. Although she has not yet treated money as dung, it is only natural to place some bets on mahjong and cards. Otherwise, she would not have pushed Gu Luen out just now. But the problem is, she really doesn't want to bet on humans at all, especially since the other party is likely to be the lord of Tiandu City, the main city of humans, not to mention that this guy is still looking for her now!

This guy, is there anything good? Do you still want to pick something out of your own hands? This is impossible, no matter how you put it, it is absolutely impossible. Mo Ran only allows herself to pick something out of the other party's hand, and absolutely does not allow the other party to pick something out of her own hand. This is the bottom line, there is no second word.

In fact, Mo Ran is also a little strange, why this man would agree to such an unreasonable request, after all, it seems that as long as a normal person would not agree to her request, she can't say that the Lord of Tiandu City is a person with a clear mind.

But, in fact, he did just that.

Such an approach was so surprising that Mo Ran felt a little unreal when he started drawing cards. Of course, this unreality was not only due to the man agreeing to her unreasonable request, but more importantly, his bet.

Wind and rain.

The man's bet is a Tang knife called Feng Chuiyu. Of course, Feng Chuiyu at this moment is only a relatively advanced weapon.

It is very likely that this Tang knife is just a glorious scenery for others, but this Tang knife is unforgettable to Mo Ran. When Mo Ran heard the name of this Tang knife and saw this Tang knife again, She only felt her head buzzing all of a sudden.

The wind blows the rain, it turns out to be the wind blows the rain.
