Chapter 223 Hijacking the gambling boat
Obviously, the desire for diamonds exceeds the horror brought by diamonds. At the booths of 'Eye of God' and 'Mountain of Light', it has become two hot spots. Fortunately, the gamblers present gave face to Zhang Ping's face, and the two of them came to the front of the "Mountain of Light" booth.
Looking at the shining diamond, Ellie couldn't help holding her breath. Her whole mind was occupied by the dazzling and charming diamond and muttered to herself, "It's so beautiful!"
Zhang Ping stared at it. The diamond looked so noble and serene from the outside, but who would have thought that behind it, it was full of strange mysteries of bad luck. Perhaps because of Zhang Ping's great progress, after using Tianyan, there is no feeling of facing the star of hope.
If the star of hope is a cool blue ocean, then the mountain of light feels like a hot red mountain. As soon as Zhang Ping's divine consciousness entered, he felt that it was hot all over. After barely calming down, I observed carefully, and there was a red mountain in front of me, which stretched endlessly, magnificent and magnificent. What is this? Three words immediately came to Zhang Ping's mind: Flame Mountain!
Yes, in the mountains in front of you, the red crystalline rocks are everywhere, and you can feel a kind of scorching heat even before they get close. Zhang Ping tried to continue to look inside. Just at the foot of the mountain, the divine consciousness was still irresistible. I'm afraid that he would forcibly enter again, and this wisp of divine consciousness would also be burned completely.
Zhang Ping retreated helplessly, and also confirmed one thing at the same time, that is, this "Mountain of Light" is indeed in line with his own conjecture. Sure enough, there is a lot of mystery in it, which makes Zhang Ping eager to try, and he can't wait to put it into his bag immediately. After regaining consciousness, Zhang Ping stared around. Many people stared at the diamond like Ellie, as if they had lost their soul, with that kind of fanatical greed on their faces.
No wonder these diamonds bring evil and bad luck. The light of this charming diamond alone is enough to fascinate people. What's more, there are other mysteries in it.
The star of hope is full of evil spirits. Zhang Ping knows that the creatures living in the depths of the ocean are definitely not auspicious, but some kind of evil devil. The eyes of the gods can bewitched and psychedeze your eyes and ears. Even a practitioner like Zhang Ping can't resist the devouring and weakening of divine consciousness by the mysterious eyeball, let alone ordinary people? Now the mountain of light is like this. Under the charming light, what is hidden is the endless fire. Its yang is so strong that it is no wonder that the scriptures say that only God and women can have this diamond. I'm afraid it's also about the red mountains.
Zhang Ping shook his head helplessly, or his ability was too weak to go deep into it to see what was going on. For such a long time, I have never been able to make a breakthrough. No wonder people say that practice is long. Hey, do I have to practice slowly, and when the time comes, I can naturally go further?
Calm down, calm down, calm down! Zhang Ping returned to his old well-like mentality and looked at himself and the world he was in more peacefully. Let nature take its course, this is the road of immortality!
Pull the reluctant Elie out of the crowd and continue to appreciate other jewelry. Eli turned around step by step, and there was still the dazzling brilliance of the diamond in her mind. Suddenly, she heard Zhang Ping say, "Don't think about it anymore. This 'Mountain of Light' has made you lose your soul. Later, you will look at the 'eye of the statue'. Be careful that your eyes will be hooked away."
Elie came to her senses and retorted, "Isn't there as horrible as you said? Isn't it just a diamond and become a haunted devil?"
Zhang Ping sneered and said, "There is no evil spirit. There is a horrible eyeball in it. It will devour people's spiritual power. If you stay for a long time, your mental strength will naturally decline, and then there will be bad luck. Hey hey, you know it's awesome."
Elie didn't believe his nonsense and sneered, "Look at your look, as if it's really wrong. But a few small legends actually scared you like this. Hey, man, you really can't afford to hurt.
Seeing that she didn't believe it, Zhang Ping didn't explain much. He just told her not to stare at the 'eye of the statue' all the time, at least take care of her status as a lady.
"Well, this sounds more pleasing to the ear. By the way, Zhang Ping, I heard that there was a 'Star of Hope' on display in Zhonghai before, but I don't know how it was stolen. You are from Zhonghai. Do you have any inside information? Eli's mind beats quickly, and somehow suddenly thought of the star of hope. However, she never thought that this 'Star of Hope' was on the man next to her.
"Who knows, why don't you say that these diamonds are all ominous? But then again, today, two diamonds are on display at the same time. Maybe there will be a few blind thieves. You must be careful and don't show off. Zhang Ping took the opportunity to warn Ellie again.
Elie didn't care at all, and even said in a sarcastic tone, "Yes, yes, you seem to have said it last night. Zhang Ping, why do you think someone may rob? This is a gambling boat. The ship is heavily guarded and there are all kinds of weapons. Is it possible?
Zhang Ping said righteously, "What's wrong with the gambling boat? It's easy to do it. There is no shop in front of the village and the back. As long as those security guards are subdued, isn't this gambling boat allowed to be slaughtered? Don't you know how rampant the pirates are?
Eli smiled and said, "Ha ha, it's so funny to hear what you said. Do you want to inform Ivanov? And Liu Dawu and others, by the way, and what about your beauty Meilin?
Laughing, he came to the 'Eye of the Statue' booth. There were still many people. Zhang Ping squeezed in with Eli. Ellie couldn't take her eyes off the diamond, but Zhang Ping did not pay attention to the diamond, but looked around with a careless look.
"Hi, hello, what a coincidence, do you also come to see this 'eye of the statue'? It's really beautiful." The speaker was the American William, who happened to be beside Zhang Ping, but he was alone and greeted Zhang Ping enthusiastically.
"William? Ha ha, you are good at gambling. To be honest, I really didn't expect you to kill me, hehe, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Zhang Ping responded politely.
"Where, you are still awesome. I'm also a little lucky, hehe, avoiding you popular people. Otherwise, there will be no chance to compete with the world's gambling king. William is very modest and talkative. However, Zhang Ping always felt that there was something wrong with him. It seemed that he was not interested in the diamond. Only the greedy look of the diamond by accident did Zhang Ping see that the American actually attached great importance to the diamond.
After a few words, William turned around and said that he would go somewhere else and greeted Ellie kindly before leaving. However, Eli looked at the diamond and didn't notice it. When William walked away, Ellie seemed to have just heard it and asked Zhang Ping who was, which seemed to be a little familiar.
Zhang Ping couldn't help laughing. The eyes of this statue really had to take away Eli's soul, and even the finalists had forgotten. Ellie asked in astonishment, "Yes, why do I feel that he seems to be a little different from the gambling table? Where is it? By the way, his hair, haha, I know. This guy wears a wig.
After Eli's words, Zhang Ping finally woke up. Just now, he also felt that there was something wrong with this William. Yes, there is something wrong. Although there is nothing wrong with the face, there seems to be some changes in hair and glasses. If they hadn't competed on the same stage, there would have been some confusion if they suddenly bumped into each other. If the clothes change again, it will be like two different people.
However, the two of them also joked a few words casually, didn't take it seriously, and continued to visit the jewelry exhibition. I have to say that Ivanov is extremely well prepared this time. Most of the jewelry in the exhibition is medium and high-end, and there are even some top jewelry. The two 'eyes of the gods' and the 'Mountain of Light' alone are enough to make this jewelry exhibition much more famous.
Lost in the world of diamond jewelry, time always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, it's lunch time. Today's lunch is a special banquet for gambling boats to celebrate, and all gamblers are invited to participate. There will be some song and dance performances and many game sessions.
When a sound came from the loudspeaker of the gambling hall urging all the gamblers to attend the restaurant, the gamblers in the gambling hall stood up and walked towards the restaurant.
Zhang Ping and the two also walked to the restaurant with a smile. When leaving the hall, Zhang Ping suddenly felt that something was wrong and whispered to Ellie, "Have you noticed that something is wrong? Why does it seem that there are much fewer security guards in the hall?"
Ellie said carelessly, "It's lunchtime now. Maybe I'll take turns to eat."
"No, we can't see a few security guards going back all the way. Do they also stay and participate? What about those jewelry? Don't they care? There must be something wrong." Zhang Ping stopped and looked solemn.
Elie also felt a strange smell. The two looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
"Zhang Ping, can't you really be right? What happened? What should we do? Eli looked a little nervous.
"Keep going. If it's really as I expected, they must have controlled the monitoring room and don't let them see the flaws. Let's keep walking and find a place to slip away later. Zhang Ping remained calm and pulled Ellie to continue to walk forward. At this time, the voice of greeting came from behind, but it was Liu Dawu and Xu Wei who also rushed to dinner at this time and happened to meet Zhang Ping.
After the convergence, Zhang Ping whispered their findings. Xu Wei and Liu Dawu were also shocked. Xu Wei's face changed a little. He asked Liu Dawu what to do?
Liu Dawu thought for a moment and agreed with Zhang Ping's opinion. At this time, it happened to be a corner. The four of them looked at the left and right, and slipped to the entrance of a staircase. Zhang Ping said to Liu Dawu, "Dawu, I want to go and see the situation. Why don't you take the two of them to hide first?"
Liu Dawu looked at Xu Wei and nodded and agreed after thinking about it. Eli didn't do it, saying that she would act with Zhang Ping, and she was very confident in her skills. Zhang Ping persuaded, "I don't know what's going on yet. If I go to check the situation, I may be trapped and need you to rescue me. Two people threw themselves into the trap. Isn't it that there is not even a person to respond?
Eli nodded and agreed, and Liu Dawu and Xu Wei walked up the stairs. In Liu Dawu's room, he carried two walkie-talkies with him in case of emergency. I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
After Zhang Ping and the others broke up, they returned to the corridor inadvertently and went to the restaurant together among several guests. Looking around, I didn't find Ivanov's figure. Instead, there were several people looming at the entrances and exits and high points of the restaurant. Zhang Ping looked around and saw Lin Meilin and Director Gu sitting together, so he walked over and sat next to them.
"Oh, where's your Ellie? Why are you the only one left?" Lin Meilin saw that there was only one person in him and asked curiously.
"Ha ha, she is not feeling well and wants to go back and lie down for a while. Why didn't you see Ivanov?"
"Yes, I also think it's a little strange. Until now, not only Ivanov hasn't appeared, but Captain Keynes doesn't seem to have seen it either. Isn't there any special appearance ceremony?" Lin Meilin joked.
Zhang Ping smiled bitterly and didn't say anything. It's useless to tell them at this time. Let's wait and see.
It's almost the time for the guests to arrive, and the front rostrum is still empty. All the guests were a little unhappy, and the noise became louder. At this time, the door of the restaurant swung to close, and a group of heavily armed soldiers gushed out of several entrances and exits at the same time, and the black muzzle was aimed at the guests.
The whole audience was in an upheaval, and some female guests screamed.
A gunshot suppressed the screaming and loud noise. Then a group of people appeared on the rostrum. Walking in front of him was a big man with some oil paint on his dark face, a beret on his head, a miniature submachine gun cross-bodyed, and strode to the microphone.
"Quiet, quiet! Ladies and gentlemen, I declare: I will take over the Black Silk gambling ship now!"
