Chapter 152: Card Games

The layout of Lucky Star is intentionally misleading; upon entering, you will be greeted by rows of massage beds, and the unaware will spend a hefty amount of money for a meaningless, flavourless massage done by scantily dressed women.

Only those who are aware and led by familiar faces can walk into the underground casino behind a secret door under the leadership of a young lady.

Jiangli thought back to the time when she started playing mahjong when she was just fifteen years old. She got lost in the crevices of the casino, and the girls, perhaps taking pity on her, arranged for her to attend to a massage bed, and she was forced to touch slimy and grimy men.

She became acquainted with the people there. Back then, she would play two rounds on a small table near the entrance before losing all of her money, and she could only leave disappointed.

Every time she came by, the regular men there would shout and tease her, Ere to give your money again, lass? Shouldnt be stealin yer mums wallet.

Jiangli would simply ignore them and order the person in charge to shuffle the cards.

However, today is different.

Squeak.

As soon as she entered the basement and got herself some chips, she walked straight into the inner parts of the casino, and the casino erupted in whispers.

Some people quickly cleared their chips and ran outside for fear of being watched by her.

Some didnt think it was a big deal and shouted at the top of their lungs, Shes here!

She ignored them and walked straight to the southeast corner of the casino. She found a table at which sat three lone people, and with the sound of her chips falling on the table, it startled the three figures that huddled together.

All of you seem free tonight. Couldnt find anyone to trick and crush their hopes tonight? for new novels

Seeing her, the man with a thin face trembled. Through Jianglis eyes, she could see that all of his eight arms were trembling in fear, and each hand held a piece of mahjong.

You why are you here? the man forced out. Its not

Ah! the woman with six pairs of eyes panicked. We can play two games with you later, but we should talk for now.

The last figure didnt speak at all but gave a slight nod. Only a slight shadow traced their figure, and their long neck coiled around their shoulders like a poisonous snake.

Gambling is inherently harmful, and in places where gamblers gather, it is not uncommon for there to be a few urban legends that promise riches to gamblers, only to completely devour their hopes away.

Luckily for Jiangli, these urban legends were all her informants.

The thing I asked all of you to investigate Any updates?

No! the three said in unison, and then they started talking one after another.

Nobody has ever heard of a Witch in the Eastern suburbs, the pale man said.

There have been a few incidents of urban legends disappearing along Linjiang Avenue, and

A lone psychic did it, Jiangli interrupted. We tried to recruit her before, but she refused.

Why are you asking me this again?

She wanted to ask the man if he wanted to hunt for people with psychic tendencies, but she remembered that he was fully human, which confused her further.

Well Someone stole my wallet. Ill just cut straight to the point: I need a job. I need to put food on my table.

Ill ask, but are you really

I dont mind selling my body.

She couldnt help but sigh and nod. Why did they send such a fool to take over Cicada?

But isnt that good? Maybe I can use him for my own good.

Before dawn, Lu Yibei was awakened by his alarm clock.

Before he knew it, he had adapted to the rhythm of getting up early. Was he enjoying bathing under the morning sun?

When he changed his clothes and went downstairs, Jumeng was still lying on the sofa, fast asleep. A wig was acting as her pillow, and the wig didnt dare move a single inch.

He tiptoed over and gently covered her up with the discarded blanket on the floor. Then he gently supported her head with one hand, helped the wig escape, and replaced it with a soft pillow.

O Great Witch

Shh! he glared at the wig. Didnt I tell you? Dont come back until I tell you to!

Okay, I get it, the wig sighed as it turned around but stopped and hovered by his shoulder. When is she leaving? We can hardly bear it on our own outside.

Do you think I want her to be here? I can hardly bear it on my own inside!

Soon, he gave a simple reply.

Theres something else, but I dont know if I should tell you.

Lu Yibei frowned slightly and said, Tell me.

You dont think you have a crush on her, do you? From my experience, the two of you are not compatible. Personality plays a part here; looks arent everything.

Nonsense! Yibei glared at the wig. Im not interested in her. Plus, if she wasnt attractive, nobody would be listening to her anyway! I need to leave for school. You all just find a place to hide, and dont get caught by her!

He immediately went out the door and closed it as he leaned on it, letting out a big sigh.

How am I going to tell the counsellor that I dont want to be giving a speech because I survived a violent stabbing? What a headache!

However, never in a million years would he expect that his problem would be solved before it even started.

Because the counsellor went insane overnight.
