Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 18: Death Battle

Su Lun also didn't expect that there was a "death match" in the underground casino in the Green neighborhood.

This is a very cruel fighting game. There are no rounds, no counting, and it is a matter of life and death.

Because it is a fight to the death, the gladiators will fight with all their strength, which is highly entertaining to watch.

Also because the killing move is often instantaneous, there are many uncertain factors in the outcome, which makes people's nerves more tender and exciting, and gambling is more entertaining.

Therefore, this kind of **** gladiatorial match is the most popular gambling project in the underground world.

......

Su Lun followed captain Kai into this fighting and gambling stall called "Scarlet Bunker".

The gangsters have gangster cards. Whether they recognize them or not, gamblers will unconsciously make way for them when they see the "cross star" logo on them.

The air is filled with a sweet aroma, which is a psychedelic drug that can make people nervous. "Pharmacology" is the basic skill of an alchemist, and there are people in the black market who specialize in manufacturing and selling these addictive psychedelic potions.

"'Skull Crusher' tore him apart!"

“Oh, ‘Undertaker’, get up the fuck, I’ve got ten thousand liso over you, don’t lose to me!”

"Hahaha, the 'Skull Crusher' is going to win! Kill him and kick that guy's head off..."

"..."

On the second underground floor, which is as big as an indoor basketball court, there is a huge octagonal cage fighting cage in the center.

On the ring, two gladiators covered in blood were fighting to the death.

The pace of the battle was fast. After several rounds of fighting, the strong gladiator named "Skull Crusher" broke his opponent's neck, and a wave of cheers sounded in the casino.

Of course, it was also mixed with the curses of gamblers who lost their bets.

Su Lun stared at the "gray mist" floating on the corpse in the distance, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before, he felt that his [Death Reaper] had no room to use after entering the city. Now it seems that joining a gang is not a bad idea.

Kayi looked at Su Lun with strange eyes, guessing that it was probably his first time to come to this kind of gladiatorial match. By the way, he also introduced to a few newcomers: "This is the most popular gambling method in our Green Street. ..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the private rooms on the top floor of the auditorium and said, "Did you see that? Many of those private rooms are big shots in the inner city. Those are really rich people who spend a lot of money... ”

As Su Lun listened, he also looked at the private rooms equipped with one-way glass.

Behind those black glasses, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, staring at everything in the arena.

After hearing this, a newcomer asked: "Will the big shots in the inner city come to the outer city? Don't those arrogant guys dislike our dirty and shabby outer city and never set foot in it..."

"Haha...there are quite a few coming."

Kayi shrugged, as if he had no respect for the people in the inner city: "After all, there are no such exciting games in the inner city. Those guys want to have fun and come to our territory. However, it is also because of these financial backers. , we can live such a nourishing life."

As he spoke, he didn’t know what he was thinking of, and he warned a few newcomers: "Although we and those big figures in the inner city are from two different worlds, there is a high probability that we will not have any intersection. But in the future, if we really encounter Now that we’re here, don’t mess with those guys from the inner city. Otherwise, you’ll cause trouble for the boss and the others.”

Su Lun also nodded along with the newcomers and said: "I know, captain."

.......

Kayi took everyone around the casino, making several newcomers familiar.

"Okay, today's mission is done. Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. Remember to bring your communicator."

"Okay, the captain is wise."

"Go away, stop flattering me."

As soon as Kai announced that he was "off duty", several veterans scattered in excitement.

He looked at the few newcomers who were still a little confused, and said: "It's your first day to join the gang, you can have fun. The taverns and flower gardens just now were covered by our 'Cross Society', you are looking for girls If you have a son, there is also a discount."

As soon as these words came out, except for Su Lun, the other newcomers showed eager and ambiguous smiles on their faces.

Kayi seemed to be more interested in cage fighting, and gave a special advice: "You can have fun with everything else. But when it comes to gambling, it's best to avoid it...especially this kind of cage fighting, It’s easy to get addicted while playing. With that kind of money, there are so many girls to play with.”

Everyone: "I know, Captain."

As Kai spoke, he seemed to remember something and gave a negative example.

He pointed at the only old bird beside him who had not left yet, and said with a look of disgust: "No, it's like Sam, the salary of last month was exported in one night. Now I have to rely on it to eat. Isn’t it shameful for brothers from the gang to help out..."

Besides, Sam, who was wounded, looked like an aggrieved little daughter-in-law, and murmured weakly: "Originally, I won thousands of dollars in several games... I didn't expect that one day... The game was so upset that I couldn’t get angry, so I raised my bet..."

The mentality of a gambler is the same in every world.

If you win, you won’t leave. If you lose, you want to get your money back. If you lose again, you will double it, and then you will sink deeper and deeper.

Su Lun probably understood that Kai was worried that he would lose all his money in one day.

This captain seems to be a pretty good person.

Kayi rolled his eyes and didn't listen to this guy's explanation. He waved his hand and said to Su Lun and the others: "Okay, you guys can go too."

Everyone nodded: "Yes, Captain."

.......

As soon as Kai left, everyone felt that they were no longer restrained.

The other three newcomers have long been thinking about the beautiful girls from before.

Being a gangster means living a happy life with wine, meat and women.

"Su Lun, aren't you going?"

"No. I want to stay here for a while."

"..."

Su Lun did not go to Fengyue Pavilion with the other three, his attention was always on the ring.

Reason tells him that compared with women, strengthening strength is the capital to survive in this world.

His awakened [Collector] talent focuses on development. As long as he lives long enough, he will have everything he wants.

In just this moment, a new gladiatorial match began.

Two newcomers were replaced in the octagonal net box, and the **** and **** battle began again.

Su Lun squeezed in from the crowd of gamblers and leaned towards the cage.

To collect memory fragments, he must get close enough.

When the gamblers saw someone pushing in, they were angry and wanted to curse a few words, but when they saw the "cross star" logo on Su Lun's clothes, they swallowed it down immediately.

The "Iron Cross" still has a great deterrent effect in the eyes of ordinary people.

Su Lun didn't care and squeezed into the passage on the left side of the fighting cage.

If he remembered correctly, this would be the passage where the body was dragged down.

There were at least thousands of people in the casino, making it noisy.

No one would pay attention to where a failed corpse was dragged away, but Su Lun was also worried that someone would discover his collection of soul fragments, so he specifically found this less eye-catching corner.

At this time, a graceful girl carrying a tray squeezed through the crowd.

She faced Su Lun with a smile on her face and asked softly: "Sir, do you want to place a bet? You can't buy this one, but you can buy the next one. There is an extra multiplier for blind guessing. ~"

"Red square, buy one thousand."

Squeezing into such a front position, anyone would think that Su Lun was an avid gambler. Su Lun naturally took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the tray.

The girl was so squeezed by the crowd that her whole body was pressed against Su Lun's body, her chest proudly squeezed out of shape. She didn't seem to care. She took the money, handed over the receipt, and winked at Su Lun, saying, "I think sir can guess it right~"

"Well, I feel the same way."

Su Lun smiled slightly.

He didn't think that he was so handsome with his bald head now that he could make beautiful women take the initiative to embrace him.

When he was observing just now, he had already discovered that the betting girls in the casino would take the initiative to please the customers during these activities. Because gamblers who win their bets will tip generously. Regardless of being taken advantage of by those salty hands, their income in one night is even more impressive than most of the gamblers. This job makes much more money and is much easier than working as a girl in a custom shop outside.

......

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

"..."

Near the cage, a group of gamblers holding gambling tickets shouted the names of their suppressed gladiators at the top of their lungs. Although Su Lun had no interest in gambling, he was still observing the battle with concentration.

It was also the first time for him to see such a **** and cruel fight, and some suppressed emotions began to stir in his heart.

The fighter in the ring gave him his first lesson in fighting from another world.

The wind of fists roared, and the killing rage made people’s scalp numb...

Su Lun brought himself into the gladiators on the field, and was deeply moved when he saw them: "No wonder the All-Knowing Eye evaluated my fighting skills as 'advanced entry level'. If I faced them in the ring, I would probably You will be killed if you meet him."

At this moment, Su Lun saw a huge gap.

The attacks of these gladiators in the ring are ruthless, as sharp as bullets or daggers. If they hit the vital point, they will immediately follow up with their killing moves, without giving their opponents any chance to counterattack.

Kill with one blow.

This kind of fighting has no fancy moves, everything is aimed at killing people.

This is completely different from the fighting Su Lun had in mind!

This world gradually showed its cruel side to the traveler Su Lun.
