casino.

An exciting casino.

Zhang Yinghao stood in the cafe in the street opposite the casino, drinking a glass of spirits while saying:

"I am really familiar with this casino - after all, like my business, it is all underground industries, and there are always some people I know - but what's going on with these lines?"

On the table in front of him was a stack of freshly printed paper, full of lines.

Gu Qingshan nodded at Feiying.

Feiying raised her hand and showed hundreds of black silk threads on her wrist.

"As you can see, every thread on her arm represents our goal, but in fact, at the beginning, we didn't have so many goals, only the only one." Gu Qingshan said.

Zhang Yinghao was a little confused and pointed at thousands of silk threads and asked: "Why did it suddenly become so many?"

"Because... this is a screening mechanism." Gu Qingshan said.

“What to filter?”

"The right person - only the right person can approach that goal."

"What if the wrong person?"

"I will be led by one of the silk threads and deviate from that real goal more and more." Gu Qingshan said.

Zhang Yinghao and Feiying looked at each other and shook their heads together.

"I don't understand." The two of them said in unison.

"It's very simple - Feiyue, I got the reminder of the chaos sequence. There is actually a multiple parallel world technique here, so your destiny silk suddenly breaks into thousands of threads - because each parallel world has our goal." Gu Qingshan said.

"I understand a little, that is, we have to cross all parallel worlds to find that real goal." Feiying said.

"Correct." Gu Qingshan said.

"What's the method?" Zhang Yinghao asked.

"Screening - I was the one who experienced all this back then, and only I remember all the details." Gu Qingshan said.

"It must match the history you have experienced before we can see the target?" Feiying asked.

"That's exactly that." Gu Qingshan said.

“What if we made a mistake?”

"Then you go into the parallel world and you can't find your real goal."

"…The person you are looking for is really cautious."

"certainly."

Feiying silently recited a spell, grabbed all the silk threads and tied them to Gu Qingshan's wrist.

"If it's your past... I can't follow you into the casino, but I can put 'attachment' on your wrist, it will still take effect and will remind you of the situation around you at all times." Feiying said.

"Will it affect screening?" Gu Qingshan worried.

"Fate is a detached power. As long as you don't use it to attack, other laws will live in harmony with fate." Feiying said.

"I understand." Gu Qingshan nodded and greeted.

Zhang Yinghao picked up the line book in his hand and read it, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I almost remember it."

"Let's go." Gu Qingshan said.

He stood up and took Zhang Yinghao out of the cafe, crossed the street, and entered the casino.

...

Zhang Yinghao walked into the casino hall and his ears were immediately filled with noisy sounds.

He looked around.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"They can even get monsters in the universe now?" Zhang Yinghao recited a line.

"Do you know here?" Gu Qingshan continued to recite.

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. This was used to be a place to exchange information."

“It seems they have started a new business.”

As the two said, they saw that Gu Qingshan had retracted all the black silk threads on his hand, leaving only the only one.

This thread is illusory and transparent, and occasionally shows a black texture.

Lines of small words of fireflies appeared in front of Gu Qingshan's eyes:

"Notice!"

"You entered a parallel world."

“The envelopment of all parallel worlds is: the casino.”

"If you exit the casino at this time, you exit the corresponding parallel world."

Gu Qingshan pulled Zhang Yinghao out of the casino.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yinghao asked.

"...I forgot one thing." Gu Qingshan looked upwards.

I saw the big clock above the casino door turning rapidly and return to a certain moment.

A line of small words for fireflies emerged;

"—You only have one chance to start over again. If you still cannot cross multiple parallel worlds, you will lose the trend of the target person."

Gu Qingshan's thoughts flashed, and after a while, he suddenly sighed.

"What?" Zhang Yinghao asked.

"I forgot one thing--the last time we came in, you were still carrying the black cat." Gu Qingshan said.

"So we failed just now?"

Zhang Yinghao said, reaching out and knocking on the ground, summoning the black cat.

"Yes, the black cat must be summoned - it is considered to be consistent with history - we cannot fail anymore, otherwise we will not be able to find the target anymore." Gu Qingshan said.

"I will remember the lines and those actions." Zhang Yinghao said seriously.

"Very good, we have one last chance." Gu Qingshan also became completely serious.

The two walked into the casino.

As soon as they entered, the bell above the casino gate immediately began to walk around again.

Inside the casino.

Zhang Yinghao looked around in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingshan asked.

"They can even get monsters in the universe now?" Zhang Yinghao re-reads the lines.

"Do you know here?" Gu Qingshan followed

"I know, but I'm not familiar with it. This was used to be a place to exchange information."

“It seems they have started a new business.”

As the two said, the black cat jumped to the ground and disappeared.

Everything is just right.

But this is just the opening. It is almost impossible to ensure that everything matches it.

Gu Qingshan's Yu Guang looked up at his wrist and saw that all the black silk threads were safe and sound.

Several translucent threads disappeared.

"Skill time is up, it should be here."

Zhang Yinghao said, and asked again: "Do you have meritorious points? If you want to enter the core area, you must exchange meritorious points for chips."

"I don't have many other things, I have enough meritorious points." Gu Qingshan said.

The two of them walked in swaggeringly, and soon a waiter came up to him, leading the two respectfully to the elevator.

There are twenty elevators in the hall. At the same time, only one group of guests is allowed to enter each elevator.

The waiter closed the elevator and asked, "What do you guys want to play?"

"We--" Zhang Yinghao took a look at Gu Qingshan.

"The more special the better." Gu Qingshan smiled at the attendant.

The waiter looked squintingly and stared at the two of them.

In the chip box, the maximum amount of red chips is piled up.
