Although he had the mysterious dice, the item had significant limitations— it could only be used once a week, and for only one hour at a time. This meant he could only use it once in this instance, and certainly couldn’t use it carelessly.
Without the dice, how could he possibly obtain a thousand chips within five days? Gu Wuji had recently crammed some knowledge with the teacher Cheng Jia had found, but he felt earning that many chips was still too difficult.
Meanwhile, the casino staff opened a door leading to the accommodations. A scream rang out the next moment, followed by a man who looked mentally unstable rushing out in terror. “Let me out of here!”
The man looked extremely disheveled, covered in cold sweat, and on edge. He glanced at Gu Wuji and the others before rushing forward.
“What’s wrong with this guy?” Gu Wuji sensed a dangerous aura emanating from the man and immediately shielded Young Master Nelson. He wouldn’t miss any opportunity to showcase his acting skills.
The surrounding bodyguards fell silent. They were the real bodyguards, yet at this crucial moment, they forgot to step forward, even taking their jobs away from Gu Wuji— it was truly embarrassing.
The moment the man saw the door, a look of hope appeared on his face, but the next instant he collapsed to the ground with a horrifying scream.
Everyone turned to look and gasped. The man who had been so lively just moments before was now lying on the ground after the scream, and strangely, his body had been dismembered.
“What’s going on!” A bodyguard immediately looked at the staff, his expression extremely vigilant.
This matter was far too bizarre, making them all grim-faced.
“This is just a normal outcome.” The staff member’s attitude was polite, but his words sent chills down everyone’s spine. “Because he has lost all his chips, he is no longer a customer of our casino, so he will be asked to leave.”
“But this person is already dead!” The female assistant couldn’t help but speak up.
“Really?” The staff member looked at them with surprise. Only then did everyone realize that the corpse behind them had vanished, and there wasn’t even a drop of blood on the smooth ground, as if what had just happened was a collective hallucination.
Even though the temperature here was quite comfortable, everyone couldn’t help but be grim-faced, and their bodies subconsciously shivered.
“Could it be some kind of holographic projection? What kind of stimulation is this for the customer?” the female assistant murmured.
But everyone clearly remembered the huge commotion after the man slammed the door, and even the gust of wind he created when he brushed past them. This person must have really existed.
They had a growing sense that this place was unusual; it truly was a cursed casino…
One bodyguard rushed to the door, but found nothing. He tried to push it open, but his hand froze at the touch of the glass.
“Out…outside…”
Everyone walked towards the door, falling silent as they approached.
Outside the massive glass door, fog had gathered, reducing visibility to only a meter or two. Within the fog were numerous eerie figures, twisted monsters. And several still-moving corpses lay on the ground.
“Oh, right, it’s getting dark,” a staff member said with a smile. “Something ominous will appear outside after dark, so please be careful.”
This was a scene straight out of a horror movie, yet it was unfolding before their eyes. The group couldn’t help but imagine the terrible fate that would have befallen them if they had arrived any later.
As the others trembled, Gu Wuji also reached the door.
Everyone noticed that the monsters in the fog outside suddenly seemed to convulse, their bodies contorting as they moved away.
“Could it be that their appearance was just to scare us?” the female assistant asked. “But regardless, it’s still safest inside.”
“Why do I have this feeling that those monsters are fleeing in panic…”
Gu Wuji, of course, also realized this.
“I’m not strong enough to scare these monsters to death!” Gu Wuji couldn’t help but look down at the back of his hand, where the faint outline of an evil god’s mark had appeared. “It really is this…”
He subtly pulled down his sleeve to cover the mark; it would be troublesome if someone saw it. Even though the mark meant Gu Wuji held a high position among these believers, he had no intention of interacting with these fanatics.
The casino staff were also stunned. What was going on with these monsters?! They ran faster than flying! They’d never seen anything like it before. Could it be that there was something among these people that they feared?
Thinking this, the staff became even more cautious, lest they provoke someone they shouldn’t.
“I’ll contact the outside world right now, and a helicopter will be sent to pick up the young master tomorrow,” the female assistant said. “We can’t let young master Nelson stay in such a dangerous place.”
“No way,” young master Nelson himself coldly refused. “We must stay. This is a test from the family, and I must pass it.”
The others, of course, couldn’t do anything about their employer. Moreover, the female assistant had also discovered that everyone’s cell phones had no signal at all, and they couldn’t contact the outside world at all. Obviously, they were trapped in this casino.
“Please rest assured, after five days, our casino will arrange for everyone to leave,” the staff member said with a smile. “If you leave on your own, we have no objection, but you will be responsible for any problems that arise.”
Gu Wuji: “…” Isn’t five days the deadline given by the main quest? Gu Wuji thought that after five days, it wouldn’t be sending people out, but sending everyone to hell.
“Alright, now everyone, follow me,” the staff member said, turning around and continuing to walk away.
The others had no choice but to follow. Fortunately, these people had good mental fortitude and quickly accepted the situation. Of course, this was also because the place was still very safe and orderly.
As the casino staff arrived at the accommodations in a side building, the facilities were comparable to a five-star hotel. Nelson was staying in a deluxe suite with several rooms, enough to accommodate several people.
Gu Wuji, as Nelson’s lover and bodyguard, was relegated to the furthest room from Nelson’s bedroom, even sharing a room with another bodyguard. Anyone with a brain could tell he was no longer favored.
The female assistant, having just experienced a severe shock, stayed in the room opposite; she had also closed the door to rest.
Gu Wuji also entered the room. The bodyguard sharing the room with him looked at him with disdain, clearly looking down on this pretty boy, and didn’t even bother to speak.
Gu Wuji wouldn’t stoop to their level. After taking a shower, he immediately prepared to sleep. He had a premonition that something big would happen tonight, and he wanted to take advantage of the early darkness to get some sleep so that he could get up to work in the middle of the night.
After falling asleep, Gu Wuji immediately felt his consciousness being pulled out of his body and into some strange space.
“…” Oh right, he still had that debuff. Encountering something in his dreams was probably a given.
….
Meanwhile, on the roof of the casino, a gloomy-looking young man sat holding a photograph. The photograph was of Gu Wuji in some other world, and the most striking feature was the evil god’s mark appearing on the back of his hand.
“Although he looks different, this aura is definitely his.” The young man muttered to himself, a hint of fanaticism flashing in his eyes. “If I offer him as a sacrifice to the gods, I will receive divine blessings.”
