Wu Sheng and Hang Lin successfully tracked and subdued multiple incarnations of The Immortal in the Painting, such as Geisha, pregnant woman, and scholar. Now their goal is to find the final incarnation of The Immortal in the Painting - the gambler.
Wu Ming said, "He has changed his location to a place called Qingtian Town and arrived at a casino called Golden Phoenix Casino."
Hang Lin: "Yeah, it makes us easy to find."
In a gambling den within the Kite Lane, a sense of oppression and gloom permeates the air, as the glint of cold light flashes. Under the dim candlelight, different groups of people gather: rough and tough men, smiling swindlers, and those with greedy eyes fixed on the bets on the gambling table.
"Is that the casino?" Hang Lin She pursed her lips, her gaze cautious.
"It seems so." Wu Sheng She smiled slightly, but there was seriousness in her smile. "We must be especially careful, this place is full of tricks and danger."
Two people walked into the casino, passing through a screen embroidered with a golden dragon, and entered the main gambling area. Even those accustomed to various occasions of Wu Sheng and Hang Lin couldn't help but be shocked by the pervasive sense of oppression and the complex interpersonal network.
In the casino, the lights shone brightly like stars, embedded in the carved roof and on the walls painted with mysterious patterns. Wu Sheng and Hang Lin whispered quietly in the corner.
" The atmosphere here is too strange," Wu Sheng said with a subtle smile on his face, while surveying the crowd around him.
Hang Lin pursed his lips and said, "Not only strange, I feel like the whole casino is watching us."
"That's because you're too nervous," Wu Sheng smiled.
Hang Lin A wry smile, but the smile did not reach the eyes. "That's right, but in a place like this, one must be careful. The people here, talk too much and will surely make mistakes."
Wu Sheng A slight smile, tinged with sarcasm. "In a place like this, where there is no daylight, what difference does it make if one makes a mistake in speaking?"
"Hey, you're right," said with a hint of playfulness.
The two of them walked past several gamblers who were either laughing wildly or cursing. The dice or playing cards in their hands seemed to symbolize their destinies, entangling all of their emotions. At that moment, Wu Sheng's gaze fell upon a particular gambling table.
A man is sitting there, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, distinct features, but with an air of aloofness.
This man has sharp eyes, every time he throws the dice or picks up cards, it's like he's putting on a theatrical performance.
He is the most famous gambler here, and also one of the incarnations of The Immortal in the Painting, the target of Wu Sheng and Hang Lin this time.
"It looks like we've found the target," Wu Sheng said to Hang Lin in a low voice.
Hang Lin nodded and showed a calm yet complex expression on his face. "What should we do next? Should we go after him directly or..."
Wu Sheng pondered for a moment and ultimately decided, "Let's observe first and see what he's really up to. This game is not simple, I can sense something sinister."
The two of them sat silently at the gambling table, deciding to observe for a while. The man also seemed to sense something, slowly turned his head, and locked eyes with Wu Sheng and Hang Lin.
In that instant, Wu Sheng and Hang Lin both felt an unusual pressure, as if being tightly pulled by an invisible force.
"Are you ready, Wu Sheng brother?" Hang Lin asked with a slightly nervous tone, but more determination.
"I've been ready for a long time, Hang Lin. We must win this game." Wu Sheng's eyes were determined, filled with unyielding fighting spirit.
The two looked at the opposite gambling table, where the man was already seated, his hand holding the dice trembling slightly, but it was unclear whether it was due to nervousness or something else.
"Let's begin!" announced the person in the casino, instantly elevating the atmosphere in the room.
The dice danced on the gambling table and finally landed on a number. Wu Sheng and Hang Lin felt a tightness in their hearts, this time, they couldn't afford any mistakes.
A barely noticeable glint flashed in the man's eyes, then he said lightly, "It seems that tonight is really full of good luck."
Wu Sheng glanced at Hang Lin, and the two of them tacitly understood each other. They both sensed the trickery of The Immortal in the Painting - the outcome of this gamble may have already been calculated by him.
But even so, they couldn't back down. This was their only chance to get close to The Immortal in the Painting and expose his true intentions.
Hang Lin took a deep breath and threw the dice on the gambling table. The dice bounced high and finally settled on a number.
"Very good, it looks like we still have a chance." Hang Lin smiled slightly.
The man's expression showed a slight change for the first time, seemingly surprised by the outcome of this round.
"It's my turn." Wu Sheng took the dice, took a deep breath, and then threw it with force.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a skipped beat in his heart.
The dice rolled in the dice cup, making a clicking sound, as if foreshadowing the unknown that was about to come. Wu Sheng reversed the dice cup, and the dice came to a stop, showing a six.
"We won!" Hang Lin shouted happily.
The man looked up at Wu Sheng and Hang Lin, "Looks like you're lucky."
"Lucky?" Hang Lin relaxed his tense nerves slightly and said, "Here, we believe more in skill."
The man's mouth lifted into a smile, "Technique? So what?"
Hang Lin pointed to a painting on the wall, which depicted the interior of a casino. "There's a strange detail in this painting, don't you think?"
The man turned around, only to find that the scene in the painting was no different from reality.
"Can't you see?" Wu Sheng smiled and said, "In that painting, the only thing missing is you."
The man's face changed, and he quickly pulled out the treasure hidden in his sleeve. A beam of light enveloped the man. His body shook, revealing his true form, which was a clone of the Immortal in the Painting they had been pursuing all along.
"You... actually found me," said the Immortal in the Painting's clone in a cold tone.
"Do you think your illusion can always deceive us?" Wu Sheng grinned.
"You found me, but it's far from enough to reveal my true purpose." Gambler's fancy sneered and immediately disappeared into the casino.
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin exchanged a glance, both realizing the seriousness of the situation. Without hesitation, they fled, indicating that Gambler's fancy has set his sights on a new target again?
"It seems we need to search for him again." Wu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his tone filled with a sense of great responsibility.
"Yes, brother Wu Sheng. We cannot let him continue to be so reckless." Hang Lin nodded solemnly.
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin have been searching for several days, but they can't find the transform gambler in The Immortal in the Painting.
"Weird, how come he's disappeared again? Could it be that he's changed location," Hang Lin said in confusion.
"There shouldn't be, his presence still lingers around here. It's just very elusive," Wu Sheng said.
