“Cough～”
Meili let out a muffled groan, her fair face and delicate brows furrowed.
She turned her head and ran towards the washbasin.
Qin Luo watched Meili standing by the washbasin and took a cup from beside her.
“Don’t eat too fast, look at you.”
“Have some water.”
Qin Luo handed the cup to Meili.
“Thank you.”
Meili rinsed her mouth, quite polite.
“Cough… cough…”
Meili rubbed her throat.
She seemed to have caught a cold, it felt burning hot and painful.
The weather had been fluctuating between hot and cold these days, she should go see a doctor and get some medicine.
“Go ahead, stay in the office, or take a day off and go home to rest, I’ll approve your leave.”
Qin Luo wasn’t a petty person, he believed in repaying favors with kindness.
“Thanks, Officer Qin. This is my number, and here’s my home address…”
Chen Meili endured the pain and spoke at length, then she rushed to the office, found a mask, and stealthily took a taxi to the hospital before returning home.
Qin Luo watched Chen Meili leave, his shoulders relaxed, his anger subsiding.
Now he finally understood Liang Kun's feelings, being Liang Kun was truly great.
Moreover, Meili wasn’t as bad as what Jin Mai Ji and the others said, perhaps they didn’t understand Qin Luo’s joy, nor did they understand Liang Kun's joy.
Qin Luo smiled, thinking no more and walked out of the restroom.
But suddenly!
As he stepped out of the restroom, under his Breaking Illusionary Eyes, the entire police station changed.
Resentment, yin energy, ghost energy... emanated from the ghost realm.
Especially in the cell block, a door was wide open.
This is!
The entrance to the ghost realm!
Someone entered the ghost realm!
“Mud Carp King!”
Qin Luo thought of something and immediately dashed towards the cell block.
He arrived at the cell block, where many prisoners were held.
Some of them were engaged in a lively discussion.
“Holy crap, did I just see things, the Mud Carp King actually came out of the cell, and he even kissed the air!”
“My god, is there a ghost?”
“Shh, don’t talk about it, I’m so scared. I heard people say this used to be a Japanese brothel where many people died…”
“Ah…!”
The prisoners trembled in fear.
Qin Luo cursed inwardly, he had taken a leak and allowed the Mud Carp King to escape into the ghost realm.
Chen Meili, what a jinx!
“Quiet down, everyone, be quiet. The Mud Carp King is clearly escaping.”
“What the hell, how could a little devil become a ghost? Aren’t they just little devils? What are you afraid of!”
“Even if there is a ghost, it’s a little devil. Even though you’ve committed crimes, you’re all patriotic people, you’re Dragon Nation people, you’ll fight to the death against little devils, I might even give you a reduced sentence, understand?”
Qin Luo’s words instantly boosted morale.
The prisoners all nodded.
“Understand, Officer Qin, we were just scaring ourselves, there’s no such thing as ghosts in this world.”
“Right, right, little devils, kill them!”
“Mad, even though I’m a gangster, I’m patriotic, I’m not afraid of little devils!”
“Give me a gun, I’ll take them down…”
“I’ve never been afraid of anything!”
“…”
The prisoners continued to scold the little devils, almost everyone hated them.
As they were discussing.
Qin Luo used his Breaking Illusionary Eyes to locate the gate to the ghost realm, then he pushed open the gate and went inside.
To the prisoners, Qin Luo reached out and pushed a wall, then, under their stunned, disbelieving, and astonished gazes.
Qin Luo’s entire body disappeared into the white wall, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
The originally lively cell block was instantly quiet.
All the prisoners stuck their heads out, their eyes glazed over, staring fixedly at the spot where Qin Luo disappeared.
The air was eerily quiet.
The next second…
“Ghost!”
“Ah…”
“Help!”
The entire cell block erupted into chaos.
The gangsters who were just so fierce a moment ago, instantly closed their eyes and fainted.
As for Qin Luo, he had just passed through the ghost realm gate and entered a brothel from the Republic of China era.
It was full of lights, red and green, and filled with smoke and haze.
Many little devils wore suits and were engaged in intimate acts with female prostitutes on the sofas and in various corners.
The hall was bustling.
But none of them were human. Although they had transformed into human forms, under Qin Luo’s Breaking Illusionary Eyes.
He could see their true forms at a glance. They were all green-faced and fang-toothed, their skin was rotten, and they exuded resentment and ghost energy.
Some of them even had their intestines and eyeballs hanging out of their faces.
But when they saw Qin Luo, they all forced smiles, their eyes shining, and they clicked their jaws at him.
At this moment,
Two female prostitutes wearing revealing clothes, exposing half of their bodies, approached Qin Luo. Their white thighs were exposed beneath their long skirts.
Anyone else seeing this scene would have been completely captivated.
But in Qin Luo’s eyes, these two women were no different from paper figures burned as offerings in the outer world.
The ghost energy in this place must have been too concentrated, transforming the paper figures previously burned in the police station into prostitutes, to be played with by those little devil ghosts.
“I’m here to play mahjong, I’m not interested in women, take me to play mahjong.” Qin Luo said coldly.
If he hadn’t suppressed his aura, just his Sun-Holding Yin-Protecting aura alone could have scorched these paper women to death.
“How boring… old geezer, a guest has arrived.”
“Handsome guy, follow me.”
The paper woman winked at Qin Luo and led him to the bar.
“You’re here to play mahjong?” The old bartender, dressed in a suit, asked Qin Luo.
Then he reached down to the bottom of the bar, his skeletal fingers touched a dusty bottle of wine, and when he brought it up to the bar, it was brand new, even his skeletal fingers had transformed into human fingers.
Qin Luo saw it clearly, but he didn’t expose him.
This kind of wine, contaminated by ghost energy in the ghost realm for decades, was a deadly hallucinogenic for ordinary people, it could lure people’s souls.
But for Qin Luo, it was like a tonic, just what he needed to reduce his fiery energy.
Although Meili had reduced his fiery energy by three points, the Thunder Force was too strong, and he had blossomed a second thunderflower petal, his blood was boiling incessantly.
Gulp.
The ghost wine went down his throat.
Suddenly, he felt a chill sweep through his body, Qin Luo shivered, his fiery energy was reduced by another point, leaving six points.
Good wine!
It was like a three-point reduction after he fought with Meili and took a leak, not bad, not bad.
“Do you have any more, give me a bottle, your club is too stingy, it’s called a Royal Club.”
Qin Luo looked down his nose, full of disdain.
The old geezer’s face turned cold, he snorted inwardly and immediately brought out a bottle of ghost wine.
“Don’t drink so fast, I’m afraid you’ll drink yourself to death!” The old geezer said coldly.
Qin Luo took the ghost wine, gulped it down, instantly turning into an extremely thick and cold ghost energy, rushing towards his dantian.
Boom!
Suddenly!
A flash of thunder suddenly burst forth from Qin Luo’s dantian, the ghost energy was instantly annihilated, and the remaining six points of fiery energy were extinguished by three points.
Nice!
If Meili came to take a leak again, he should be able to suppress all his fiery energy.
“Play mahjong this way, sir, I see you’re already drunk, why don’t you find a prostitute and sleep for a while then play?” The old geezer said with a black smile.
Qin Luo was arrogant, he acted like he was drunk, smashed the bottle against the old geezer’s head.
The old geezer was stunned, he glared at Qin Luo angrily.
“You guys can’t play fair, I came to play mahjong, you’re so fussy, how do you do business?”
“If you don’t know how to do it, don’t do it!”
Qin Luo’s arrogant voice attracted the attention of everyone in the club.
The ghosts all looked at Qin Luo, their eyes full of killing intent.
The old geezer gritted his teeth, but he didn’t lash out, he immediately invited Qin Luo into a room with a resentful face.
In the room…
There was a mahjong table, with three little devil ghosts sitting in the east, south, and west positions.
They wore black and beige suits, their faces were pale, and they looked at Qin Luo with smiles that weren’t smiles.
“Young man, let’s play mahjong, have a seat.”
The little devil ghost sitting in the east greeted Qin Luo.
“Hold on!”
“You three old ghosts don’t look like good guys, what if you all cheat together, how can I win against the three of you?”
“Switch positions, old geezer, I want to sit in your east position, you go to the north.”
“Mad, you want to make me sit in the north position, do you think I don’t understand defeat?”
“A bunch of old farts…”
Qin Luo didn’t give the old ghosts any face, he cursed them mercilessly.
The three little devil ghosts’ faces turned green, but ghosts have their own rules.
To leave the ghost realm, they needed a living person, they could only leave the restriction if Qin Luo lost willingly.
“Alright, young man, we are very fair, we will switch.”
The three of them immediately switched positions, giving the east position to Qin Luo.
But Qin Luo didn’t rush to play mahjong, he took a Qinglong Cup from his bag and placed it on the left corner of the mahjong table.
He then took out a white Lucky Cat with a large golden ingot decoration underneath and placed it on his right side.
His bag also contained cinnabar.
Then, under the puzzled gaze of the three old ghosts, Qin Luo moved a dead tree from the hall to the back of his position.
He clapped his hands, looked at the three old ghosts, and smiled.
“You don’t understand, this is called a favorable wind formation!”
Qin Luo pointed to the Qinglong water cup on the left: “See, there’s the Green Dragon drinking water on the left, and the White Tiger waving its tail on the right.”
“Pocket hidden sand, wealth comes home!”
“Chest hanging Bagua, gold blocks evil!”
“Tree behind, Wealth God is broad and inclusive!”
“I’ll definitely kill you all, and not only that, I’ll strip you naked. The suits you’re wearing should be worth a couple of bucks!”
The moment Qin Luo set up the favorable wind formation, his gambling luck and wealth luck soared.
Especially his aura, domineering to the extreme, he pressed down on the three old ghosts, making them gasp for breath and their faces turn green.
“Humph, mahjong is played with skill, not luck, not hand luck… otherwise, why would there be so many poor ghosts in this world?”
“Young man, what are you gambling on? We have countless gold.”
The three old ghosts laughed, each taking out three or five gold bars from under them.
Real gold!
The Breaking Illusionary Eyes didn’t see anything unusual.
These gold bars were hidden in the ghost realm, no wonder the Hong Kong government couldn’t find them after the Japanese died.
Now they were his, Qin Luo’s!
“Of course, I’m gambling money, you think I’m gambling my life? This little gold isn’t worth my life.”
“Tell me how much gold you have, give me a number, maybe I can gamble my life with you.”
Qin Luo feigned a retreat, he knew these old ghosts wanted his life.
But he didn’t know how much gold they had, nor did he know where it was.
“Haha, young man, each of these gold bars weighs two kilograms, there are twenty here, which is forty kilograms, do you think that can be worth your life?”
“Actually, there’s no harm in telling you, we have nearly 500 kilograms of gold, it’s all in the club, but you have to have the life to win, the life to take it.”
The old ghost wearing the beige suit sneered.
Qin Luo calculated in his mind, the price of gold in 1990 was about 55 yuan per gram.
500 kilograms of gold, was worth 27.5 million!
This wave, a bloodbath!
Qin Luo didn’t show any emotion, his face remained calm, he nodded.
“Alright, I’ll gamble my life with you, if I win, the gold is mine, and your lives are mine too.”
“If I lose, you can take my life!”
Qin Luo said calmly.
The three old ghosts looked at each other, they felt something was wrong, but they couldn’t quite say what it was.
However, they didn’t say anything when they heard Qin Luo was willing to gamble his life, they were afraid that Qin Luo might change his mind, they immediately looked forward to it.
“Good!”
“We agree!”
“Deal the cards!”
