The casino’s boss talked all about the issue that had happened here.
Ever since the recent incident of frequent deaths started, the items inside their casino would frequently disappear as well. Not only would it unnoticeably disappear, but not an inkling of a clue had been found even until now…… Even if people were delegated to keep watch at night, the items would still go missing the following day. Even the people keeping watch at night, would be rendered unconscious as if having received a hard blow. Asking them to speak of what had happened was also unfeasible, as they seemed to be in the brink of insanity.
This was definitely not something a commonplace thief can do at all, as this was more like the doing of some terrible existence. Because of being extremely terrified with the thought that such a terrible existence exists within the casino, the casino’s boss then hoped to find a reliable individual to swiftly put an end to this issue.
Who would’ve imagined that the person, who came, was actually Gu Wuji? But this also wasn’t so bad. In any case, if they were unable to resolve this problem, there would just be a few more extra crazy individuals.
“If possible. I hope you’ll stay here for the night.” The casino’s boss said: “The people who were previously assigned here went crazy after staying a single night. So, you’d best be mentally prepared.”
[Active Side Task: Casino night.
Task Details: Stay after dark, and survive until dawn the next day, without living the casino’s premises. No punishment for failure.]
The three players present received this same task. Lu Yuanzhou and Brother Lu’s complexion immediately changed. After all, the task details had already indicated quite clearly that there was a certain degree of danger present in this side task……
“I will certainly take on this task. What about you guys?” Gu Wuji stated, “I won’t force you to do so as well.”
“I will naturally stay.” Since Lu Yuanzhou had already reached this point, so, what’s there to fear of just because of this bit of trouble? What’s more, he also knows that only by braving the dangers would there be more clues to be gained. The matter in this casino would never be irrelevant to the entire instance as well.
Brother Lu, who was now Little Lu, also gulped in fear, as he was still very scared deep inside. But since this was the very first time he came across with this kind of side task after having gone through so many instances. In addition to this, he still had two big bosses* next to him. Thus, he decided to stay as well.
*instead of big shot
The stepfather hurriedly declared: “Then I will leave first.”
“No.” In Gu Wuji’s query, he never included the stepfather, as he immediately said: “You know so much about this casino, and a very indispensable person. So, why should you leave?”
Having already been drenched in cold sweat at this time, the stepfather promptly said: “No, I can’t stay here at night. I’ll definitely die!”
“How come?” Gu Wuji looked at him, “Do you know some inside information? Didn’t you sleep in the casino the night before?”
“The casino is closed in the wee hours of the morning. I always go to a nearby friend’s house to rest!” After having said this, the stepfather showed a look of fear, while saying: “I’ve heard some things while gambling here. Rumor has it, that gamblers, who goes to the toilet in the middle of the night, would often disappear and never be found again…… Everyone’s saying that there’s a monster in this casino!”
Gu Wuji became a bit dumbfounded: “…….”
It’s already like this! Yet this people still insists on going to the casino. Isn’t this just gambling their lives away?
Stepfather: “……”
“Then I-, can I go home first?……” The stepfather directed a pleading expression towards Gu Wuji. Of course, in order to not let his credibility completely fall to rock-bottom in this casino, he still continued on with his fatherly pretense, “After all, your mother might worry.”
All the people around feels that this stepfather seemed to have practically changed to another person, as the affection between father and daughter suddenly became so deep.
“No can do.” Gu Wuji firmly stated, but his tone had also slightly eased up soon after: “But I will certainly protect you!” After all, considering that this stepfather is an npc, he might reveal some information in crucial times. So, how could he possibly allow him to leave like this?
Stepfather: “……”
He feels incomparably regretful at this moment. What the heck has he done! Why did he cursorily go and have a falling-out with this stepdaughter! Had he known that this daughter would become this imposing after leaving home, he would’ve definitely stayed as an honest man at home!
“But since you don’t have anything to do now, you can just sit back and relax in the casino.” Gu Wuji felt that he was still being very considerate, “You can do those things you like the most, which should also be enjoyable for you, right?”
The stepfather truly wished to run away right now, but was forthrightly pressed down to a seat by the casino’s staff. The casino’s boss had clearly decided to take him as a hostage, in order to prevent Gu Wuji and the others from not coming over tonight.
At this moment, it was already too late for the stepfather to say that he absolutely didn’t have even the slightest bit of relation with Gu Wuji. The other party absolutely wouldn’t care about his life or death!
“No. I suddenly don’t feel like gambling at all. I just want to go back home now!” The stepfather wholeheartedly voiced out at this time. He very fearfully looked glanced at this casino, and never felt this terrible here.
“Forget it. I know you like this very much…… so you should just indulge yourself a bit today.” Gu Wuji looked at the other with a ‘You don’t have to wrong yourself like this’ type of gaze.
Stepfather: “……” There’s really no need to be this considerate!!
“I’ll be going out first then. Have fun, alright?” By saying this, Gu Wuji even created an image of a filial daughter. He then exited the casino together with the others soon after.
The stepfather turned to look at the casino’s boss next to him with fear and trepidation, “Boss, can I go now?”
The casino’s boss was somewhat fearful towards Gu Wuji’s strength, but didn’t have any fear towards this outwardly buff but weak in reality middle-aged man. He merely showed a cold smile at this moment, “You’d better obediently sit there. In case your daughter doesn’t return, just you wait then……”
Stepfather: “……” He swears, that if he ever lives through tomorrow, he will never step foot in this casino ever again!
