Chapter 033. The Underground Casino of the Demon Realm
Chapter 033. The Underground Casino of the Demon Realm
"I've sent the news to him to come here, but I don't know what happened." Xia Zheng said jokingly.
After he found someone, he was told to come here, but it took a day or two from where Zi Shuran was to the Demon Palace.
Suddenly there was a sound from outside the alley.Baili Yun hurriedly stepped forward to support Mi Mo on Wen Qi's back, and pulled the three of them to a dark place in the box.
"Go over there to search, and the rest follow me here." Sporadic voices sounded from outside the alley, and after a few scattered footsteps, those people dispersed in all directions.
After the voice disappeared, Bailiyun let go of the two of them.
"Let's find a place to live first." Baili Yun glanced at Xia Zheng and whispered quickly.
In the case of coming down, we can only wait for Zi Shuran to come.
"I have a place where I can avoid these people, and it's fun." Xia Zheng's eyes radiated endless light, and the meaning of calculation was obvious.
Bailiyun looked at Xia Zheng, and knew something about Xia Zheng.
"Take us there." Baili Yun's cold voice remained unchanged.
"..." Xia Zheng looked at Bailiyun dumbly, and he came back to his senses after a long while. He asked suspiciously: "Don't you ask where it is? Although I have some staff here, but Maybe I will take this opportunity to betray you and take your credit in exchange for some treasures from the devil world."
Speaking of the latter, Xia Zheng's eyes were full of teasing and joking, but it disappeared without a trace under Baili Yun's expressionless gaze.
Xia Zheng, who has never been serious, looked at Baili Yun for a moment, and then he couldn't help but become serious.
Bailiyun frowned slightly, took Mi Mo from Wen Qi's back and carried it on his back, and said, "Let's go first, we'll talk on the way." He secretly learned the steps of Lingyumen, and he was better than Wen Qi in terms of escaping, so Mi Mo Letting Mo take care of this burden will increase the chances of everyone escaping.
Moreover, the disaster was his fault.
"Okay, come with me." Xia Zheng put away all the teasing and said with a serious smile, "I'll explain the place to you on the way."
"It's better to move quickly." Baili Yun sighed softly, "Mo Qian is probably going to get into trouble."
"Mo Qian? Are you saying that the man who is with you is really the second prince who is feared in the devil world, Mo Qian?" Xia Zheng was surprised.
Bailiyun sneered and said, "He has always been."
Although Bailiyun didn't know if he was in the devil world, but Mo Qian definitely didn't know it, Bailiyun knew it from the first time they met.Because if it was an ordinary person, how could he easily approach a stranger in that situation?And has been with that person.
Forget about Mi Mo, after all, he is somewhat familiar with Baili Yun.But Mo Qian was a complete stranger.
Wen Qi, who was silent at the side, stared at Bailiyun, secretly sullen in his heart, that Bailiyun didn't tell him about his adventure in the magic palace.Moreover, Bailiyun risked his life to save people, is it because he likes that strange man named Mi Mo?
Like it?
Wen Qi's heart felt dull pain as if being hit by some blunt instrument.Bailiyun originally liked that kind of person...
Thinking to this point, Wen Qi couldn't help feeling more bitter.Looking at Bailiyun with a wry smile, Wen Qi's lips were pale. He looked at Bailiyun several times and wanted to ask, but he couldn't speak.
Just now when he saw Mi Mo brought back by that bird at the inn, Wen Qi immediately sensed something was wrong, he searched everywhere for Bailiyun, but couldn't find it.After calming down, he looked at Mi Mo covered in blood, and his heart beat faster, almost suffocating him.
Bailiyun would never know how worried and desperate Wen Qi was, and how suffocating his heart was when he guessed that he might be injured or caught.
He hurriedly ran towards the Demon Palace, but Xia Zheng stopped him and did not let him leave the inn.
Fortunately, at this time, Bailiyun started to contact him with his mental strength, so Wen Qi could barely calm down.
The moment he saw Bailiyun, Wen Qi wanted to understand why Bailiyun went to jail, he liked that Mi Mo...
It's because I like it, it's because I like it, that's why I left him to do such a dangerous thing.Wen Qi looked at Bailiyun sadly, his throat was so dry that he felt bitter in his mouth.
Seeing that Qi was distracted, Bailiyun said with a little displeasure, "Wen Qi, what are you doing? Hurry up and keep up."
"Yes."
Wen Qi hurriedly followed.
On the way, Xia Zheng explained the next place to Bailiyun.
According to Xia Zheng, that place is completely like a casino.
The Demon Realm is a very simple place. Although it is full of violence and suppression, killing and forgetting everywhere, it is indeed endlessly prosperous in a prosperous place.
In the magic city, there are two places that everyone knows.
One, the Demon Palace of the Demon Realm.Naturally, it doesn't need to be said by others. It represents the concentration of power and influence in the devil world. How could someone not know it?
The second is another world that is completely opposite to the magic palace, and that place is the 'underground casino'.
It is said to be underground, but it does not refer to the underground casino, but refers to the dark side hidden under the shadow of the city of Magic City.
Here, anything can be traded on the table, murder, crime, robbery, prostitution/selling, news, information, treasure, anything and everything can be traded as long as someone can afford it.
But that place is not accessible to everyone, because there is one thing that is indispensable in the place where those evils are concentrated.
That is, money.
The root of all evil.
As long as you have money, you can be an uncle here, you can do anything, you can get anything.But if there is no money, I am afraid that it is impossible to even enter the 'underground casino'.
Bailiyun's cold sarcasm and cruelty were hidden behind his deep eyes, this kind of place can be found everywhere, but the Demon Realm made everything clear.
Seeing the unhesitating expression on Baili Yun's face, Xia Zheng continued: "I can take you in, but the next thing is up to you."
"I see." Bailiyun nodded.
Xia Zheng led a few people around the inn where they lived before, and then arrived at a place.
It was a very ordinary inn, even a bit down and out.
Xia Zheng walked to the door, reached out and knocked lightly on the door, with three long and two short tones coupled with the rhythm of pauses, it seemed that some signals were needed to get in.
Not long after, the door was opened, and a beggar in ragged clothes came out. He yelled, "Why are you knocking, are you looking for death?" While talking, he pushed Xia Zheng to let him go out.
Xia Zheng quickly flipped his palm over, pinched the beggar's wrist, and then quietly stuffed the thing in his hand into the beggar's hand, "I have something to ask for your help."
The beggar secretly nodded the thing in his hand, then laughed, his voice changed completely, and he said: "Your boy is sensible."
"Haha...can you help me?" Xia Zheng had the usual hippie smile again.
"Of course not." Unexpectedly, the man didn't buy it, but looked at Xia Zheng arrogantly, looking at Baili Yun, Wen Qi, and Mi Mo with a cloak on Baili Yun's back.
"What do you mean?" Wen Qi stepped forward and grabbed the beggar's chest.
Ren Wenqi, the beggar from the devil world, pulled his clothes, and said, "I don't care who you are, but you have to follow my rules." He looked at the dark-faced Xia Zheng and then at the others , and then said: "Four people need four tickets."
Xia Zheng pursed his lips, he gave it to four people from the beginning.But that person deliberately made things difficult for them, and Xia Zheng couldn't do anything about it.He could only have a stiff face, but he laughed happily.
Baili Yun stretched out his hand to stop Wen Qi from coming back, then took out something from the bracelet and handed it to the man, "This thing is enough for the three of us to go in."
What Bailiyun handed to the man was a sixth-level elixir, which was also one of the elixir that Bailiyun made himself.
The man put it in front of his nose and looked at it, then smiled with his eyes shining, "Enough, enough, definitely enough."
Seeing this, Xia Zheng couldn't help looking at Bailiyun with bright eyes.If the elixir is not mistaken, it should be a sixth-level elixir.Although Xia Zheng was well-informed and not fond of level six pills, Bailiyun seemed to have taken out one just now.
Bailiyun is not an easy guy who can casually take out sixth-level pills and give them away.
Following the man turned out to be a hidden space, and then several people walked down.I don't know how long it took before I came out of the dark tunnel full of dark water vapor.
"Here..." Wen Qi was slightly surprised.
The goal of entering was a dazzling candlelight, and after coming out from behind the door, everyone could see the surrounding situation clearly.It is very big here, it seems to be in a huge house.There are many tables in the room, and around the tables are some gamblers.People come and go, noisy.And on the walls and on the table, there are many candles that light up.
"This is the famous 'underground gambling city' in the devil world. It is indeed very spectacular." Bailiyun said calmly.
The novel "Jade Soul" mostly describes the Demon Cult during the period when Zuo Qiuping was betrayed and rose up, so there is almost no description of the underground casino, the specialty of the Demon Cult, only a few mentions, or from the mouths of other supporting characters heard.
"Huh, what a fuss." Unexpectedly, Xia Zheng laughed at this time, he stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, and said: "This place is just the tip of the iceberg, the real 'underground casino' Not here."
Baili Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The people here gamble for money." Xia Zheng turned his head and said in a low voice, "The real underground casinos gamble for life!"
At this time, the beggar who was leading the way stood up straight, his expression completely different from before.He saw that Bailiyun had no expression on his face, and his serious admiration flashed by. He followed Xia Zheng's words and continued: "Winning or losing here is nothing more than bankruptcy or a clean slate, but in the underground, it may be easy to block it." Put your life at risk."
When he said this, the man deliberately squinted his eyes and made a dangerous gesture.
However, Bailiyun didn't pay much attention to him, he just looked around and walked around, then looked at Xia Zheng, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong here?"
"No, not here." Xia Zheng's voice was a little helpless, "You will still be caught here, but if you go underground..." Xia Zheng hesitated.
Baili Yun raised his eyebrows, Wen Qi put his hand on the hilt of his sword warily.
"Stop." Seeing this, Xia Zheng said softly, seemingly casually, but his tone was very stern, "Don't try to attack here, or you're going to kill yourself." The beggar man beside Wen Qi also laughed Get up, but his smile is already full of cold killing intent.
Not only him, but also many people around who seemed to not care about this side, their eyes were full of killing intent.
Wen Qi was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.
He took his hand away from the hilt, and the killing intent around him gradually dissipated.
"The people who come back here are not normal people, so if you make trouble, you have to be prepared to be attacked by everyone." Xia Zheng took a few people to a corner, and then continued: "Because as long as you are here If you make trouble, you will be regarded as an enemy by the underground gambling city, and no one will care about you if anyone kills or robs you. Well, although usually no one cares about you."
"Go underground." Bailiyun said without hesitation.
"Then let's go." Xia Zheng looked at Baili Yun quietly for a moment, and then said.
Obviously, he was still a little embarrassed to take Bailiyun and others to the 'underground'.
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for everything after I go in." Baili Yun understood Xia Zheng's worry.
He and that man have been talking here for so long, no doubt telling them that this place is dangerous.Life and death are their own responsibility.
Seeing Bailiyun's firm attitude, Xia Zheng said in surprise.
The author has something to say: cover your face, the first thing you do when you get up tomorrow morning is to comment, it’s already past [-] in the morning, if you don’t go to bed, you will go crazy tomorrow.
Cough, it seems that it should be said later, not tomorrow.
Run away with the lid on the pot,
