Chapter 491 The boss behind the scenes(2/3)
Hall was in a good mood tonight. As the boss’s most trusted subordinate, he is now in charge of running the casino.
He had just walked around his territory. It seemed that today was a relaxing day, and there were no abnormalities.
"Do you want to play two games?"
Xia Ren asked Qin Yun beside him.
The latter was helpless: "It's now, so it's more important to do the serious work first. Haven't your health been feeling uncomfortable?"
"That's OK."
This is the first time Xia Ren has entered a casino. He is inevitably curious about the surrounding environment. However, since Qin Yun is unwilling to do so, it is not interesting to play alone.
Hall found that there were two new young faces in the casino, but they were handsome and beautiful, and they looked very high-end. He did not doubt their identities, but felt that they should be new members introduced by someone.
"If the introducer comes, hello to me first. I don't know which old friend is so rude."
Hall thought that he would take the initiative to go forward and communicate with the two of them, but he didn't expect that the other party glanced at him and walked towards him.
"You two are here for the first time. I don't know who introduced it. I thought we were very destined to be together at first glance."
Hall greeted her with a smile and patted Xia Ren on the shoulder familiarly, acting like an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.
"Is that so? I think we are very destined to be together."
Xia Ren also smiled and said, "Since you are so destined to be so destined, I must have asked you for help, you will definitely not refuse, right?"
Hall was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, young people nowadays really have a sense of humor."
"No."
Xia Ren kept a smile on his face and said word by word: "You have to help with this, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."
"oh?"
Hall restrained his smile and looked a little chilled: "I want it..."
Before he could finish his words, his face changed again.
Hall opened his eyes wide, his entire brows twisted together, his teeth were clenched, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was full of pain and incredible.
Just now, Xia Ren actually broke the wrist of his right hand without hesitation!
But strangely, Hall found that he tried his best, and could not make a sound in his throat, and his whole body did not listen to his orders, and only his neck could move.
"What's going on! Who are these two guys?"
Hall yelled in his heart.
The bustling surroundings were full of people, but he could not ask them for help.
The severe pain in the body and the fear from the unknown continued to erode Hall's mind, but in just a few seconds, he seemed to have experienced a century.
But this was just the beginning, and he was forced to raise his head and meet Xia Ren's gaze.
In Hall's eyes, the young man's face was so perfect, so perfect that it seemed that he should not exist in this world. But as he looked more and more carefully, Hall was shocked to find that the young man seemed to have become completely unfamiliar, and the impression he had left in his mind before was rapidly collapsed, just like every second, he was appearing in front of him in a brand new image.
The perfect face that makes men obsessed with it has already made Hall feel frightened. Any detail on the other person's face is full of a strong sense of incongruity, like a carefully carved wax figure. No matter how similar it is to humans, it is still two completely different species from humans.
Hall had collapsed so much that he wanted to scream to vent the huge pressure he was under. He realized that the person standing in front of him was not a human, but a terrifying creature disguised as a human. He showed a false shell to cover up his true identity, and every pore on it was emitting an unknown aura of danger.
Hall suspected that he had seen the hallucination. At the edge of his vision, the free colorful light twisted, turning into dancing soft tentacles, wrapping and swallowing him, while the gamblers around him turned a blind eye to it, even without even notice, and did not know that the danger had arrived...
Just as reason was about to collapse, a voice pulled him back to reality.
"Where is your boss?"
Xia Ren asked.
Hall came to his senses and found that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, his teeth were trembling, and his whole body was trembling.
He turned his neck stiffly and looked at Qin Yun beside Xia Ren, and found that she was smiling and looking at him, obviously knowing what had just happened.
These two people, no, these two, demons.
"I……"
Hall opened his mouth and couldn't help swallowing, but his heartbeat still couldn't calm down.
"I haven't seen the boss in several days."
"Um?"
Xia Ren narrowed his eyes.
He had already lifted the control of the rootless water. The moment he was intimidated just now, the other party should have lost the ability to resist and dared not lie.
Hall was afraid that Xia Ren would not believe him, so he quickly continued, "But I can call the boss. He shouldn't have slept yet at this time. I said something happened to the casino. He was very concerned about the casino and would definitely come here!"
Hall took out his cell phone, trembling hands, and dialed a phone number.
After two seconds, he looked at Xia Ren, with a deep sense of fear in his eyes.
"Boss, he... shut down."
"It's really not that simple..."
Xia Ren rubbed his head.
Although I had just cleaned the infection on my tentacles not long ago, my physical discomfort continued to worsen. If this continues, I and Lily don’t know how long I can last.
"Where do you think your boss will usually be at this time?"
He was going to try to find it first. If it really didn't work, it wouldn't be too late to contact the logistics department.
Moreover, the Logistics Department can't help with anything. They can easily find some simple information that the government has recorded, but others, like the information about who the boss behind this casino is involved in the dark side, even the Logistics Department needs to take time to investigate.
Hall frowned and thought hard, and replied cautiously: "Our boss usually pays attention to routine work and rest. At this time, we should be preparing to rest at home."
Xia Ren said directly: "Then take us there."
Hall hesitated for a moment, struggling very much. If he betrayed his boss, he might die after tonight, but if he rejected the orders of the young man in front of him, he would guarantee that he would not be able to survive tonight.
If you die in the future or now, this multiple-choice question does not need to be considered. Who doesn’t want to live longer? Even if it’s only a few hours.
Under Hall's leadership, Xia Ren and the others walked out of the casino.
Qin Yun was the one who drove, and Hall was in charge of guiding the way. Xia Ren sat in the co-pilot and sorted out what he had experienced today. The car was very quiet.
"Have your boss done anything strange recently?"
Xia Ren suddenly asked.
Hall quickly cheered up, recalled it carefully, and replied vaguely: "After you said this, I remember that the boss has indeed been a little different recently, but I can't explain it clearly..."
Xia Ren asked, "Have he had any contact with any strange people?"
"Strange people..."
Hall replied: "There shouldn't be strange people, but three days ago, when I saw my boss for the last time, I found him talking to himself against the wall alone."
"say something?"
"this……"
So long has passed, and Hall didn't care much at that time. When he suddenly asked about this, how could he answer?
But looking at the other person's expression, if you can't say a word, the consequences may be very serious.
In fact, this is true. Xia Ren is already considering whether to use Ice to enslave. After all, the Ice servant is 100% obedient to him and inherits all the memories of the deceased during his lifetime, without any mistakes.
The dead are more obedient than the living, and they will not lie.
Hall racked his brains, finally remembered some of the details at that time, and said, "I remember it!"
He raised his head slightly, showed a memory look, and said, "What I heard the boss talk about at that time was something transcendent... the mass of passing through time and space... the great Holy Spirit... and so on. The boss's mental state at that time seemed a bit strange, giving people a... a vague feeling of madness."
"Things beyond?"
Xia Ren keenly grasped the key point.
Sure enough, this unknown alien faction has a causal relationship with the distortion in the morning!
"Do you know a woman named Jenny?"
Xia Ren continued to ask, while handing Jenny's photo to Hall.
When the latter saw the photo, his face changed a little, and subconsciously denied: "No, I don't know."
"You'd better tell the truth."
Xia Ren's tone was plain and he couldn't hear any emotions, but he was full of threat.
Hall shrank his neck and did not dare to continue hiding it, saying, "Jenny, she was in our casino very early. At the beginning, she seemed to have just given birth and was deceived by her boyfriend to pay off her debts. However, once gambling is involved, ordinary people can't control themselves.
At that time, Jenny was still young and had a good appearance, so although she often played Landlords and lost a lot of money, she could always pay it back. But in recent years, she has lost more and more money and owed a lot of debts. By the way, she has two children, the eldest is a daughter and the younger is a boy. I saw her when her eldest daughter came to the casino to find her, but she hasn't met her in the past two years, and she has never met her youngest son once."
"What else?"
Xia Ren asked.
Hall was still a little hesitant, but Xia Ren brought him so profound fear, so he still told the truth: "For a long time, the boss suddenly told me to find a group of gambling insects without background or ability, preferably one that would not attract too much attention even if it disappeared. It seemed that they were going to do a business. I knew about what was going on when I heard it, and I didn't dare to ask in detail, just..."
"Just tie those people up and hand them over to the boss?"
To be continued...
