The boy was thrown onto the bed by Lord Snake.
Even though he was not completely awake, he could not help but want to cry out. This was a bed that he had never slept on before. It was as fluffy and soft as a cloud, and it was so luxurious that it was filled with countless springs. It was much more comfortable to sleep on than a weed nest!
But the boy's heart seemed to have fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley. He was not happy at all.
In this world, there was no such thing as "accidentally dropping minced meat."
Every piece of meat, every chip, every drop of blood had a price.
What price did he have to pay to be saved by Lord Snake and to sleep on such a comfortable bed?
Although the boy was still a boy, people in the Wasteland matured early. He understood many things and had seen many beast-like people in the Wasteland. They were entangled together like wild beasts and moaned like wild beasts.
And the way Lord Snake looked at him was also like a wild beast. No, it was something even lower than a wild beast — a poisonous snake.
The boy thought of the skinned rat again. He felt that his skin had also been peeled off by Lord Snake's gaze. He was stripped naked, revealing his fresh and tender flesh.
Fortunately, he still had his older brother.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaolu. Most of the people in Tombstone Town have gone to the meat market to divide the meat. We can escape."
His older brother said, "As long as I can kill him!"
"You can't kill him."
The boy cried in his heart. "He's very strong. His brain must be very strong too. Brother will get hurt."
"I have to kill him."
His older brother said, "Don't worry. No matter how powerful the big boss of Sirius Casino is, he can't be more powerful than all the people in the meat market. I can do it. I have to be able to."
The boy wanted to say something, but Lord Snake had already walked over. His hands were on the edge of the bed, and the cobra-like sarcoma on his forehead was expanding and contracting. He was standing upright and emitting hot air.
"They all call you 'Bai Xiaowu'."
Lord Snake narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the boy's hands. "As expected, they are white and translucent, like jade. They are more delicate than a girl's hands and more flexible. They are a pair of good hands."
The boy gathered his courage and said timidly, "My, my name is Bai Xiaolu!"
"Bai Xiaolu? That's a good name too. Deer is an elf of the forest, and you look like an elf of Tombstone Town. How strange, how come I've never seen you before? "
Lord Snake said with a smile, "It's a pity that deer are too fragile. There's no room for them to survive in the new world after the nuclear war, unless … they're protected by the strong."
He wanted to grab Bai Xiaolu's hand.
Bai Xiaolu instinctively dodged and curled up in the corner of the bed. There was no way out.
Lord Snake was not in a hurry. He smiled and turned on the television with the remote control.
The screen was playing the footage of Bai Xiaolu cheating in the Sirius Casino over the past few days. The evidence was conclusive and there was no way to deny it.
"Others say that your hands are very fast, so fast that you can't even see them. That's why they call you 'Bai Xiaowu'. However, a long time ago, 'Xiaowu' had another meaning, that is, a thief, a pickpocket, a thief who steals things!"
Lord Snake sighed and said regretfully, "You're a beautiful girl, but you're a thief. Even if your hands are small, fast, and smooth, you shouldn't steal cards in my casino. Everyone in the Bloodthirsty Wilderness knows that Lord Snake's casino in Tombstone Town is the most fair. You cheated here, ruined my reputation, ruined my justice, and even caused my best subordinate to lose a hand. Tell me, how should I punish you, little thing?"
"I was wrong, Lord Snake."
Bai Xiaolu shed tears and said in a trembling voice, "Forgive me this time, Lord Snake. I, I don't dare to —"
"Don't!"
His brother screamed shrilly in his heart, "Don't tell this poisonous snake that my sister is seriously ill and needs medical fees. No one will pity us. He will only capture my sister to pay for the debt and torture her with us!"
"To be honest, I should have left you in the meat market."
Lord Snake admired Bai Xiaolu's cheating on the TV and praised, "However, your hands are so beautiful. They're so beautiful that they don't look like a mutated demon. We demons are more or less ugly. Very few of us are as perfect as you. You're like an exquisite work of art. You're a gift from the heavens. There's no reason for those bastards to ruin you, right?"
Bai Xiaolu didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. He just cried silently.
"Don't cry. This is your home from now on. Lord Snake will protect you. You're the only one who eats people. No one will dare to eat you."
Lord Snake said softly, "Do you know why I chopped off one of Lao Si's hands today?"
Bai Xiaolu was slightly stunned. He held back his tears and shook his head.
"He acted first and reported later. He sent you to the meat market without my permission. That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he's old. His hands are slow and his eyesight is dull. You actually succeeded in cheating on him for two days in a row. He only found out on the third day. Such a good-for-nothing is no longer qualified to be the 'eyes' of Sirius Casino."
Lord Snake said, "The new generation will replace the old. Bai Xiaolu, your hands and eyes are fast enough. You're also brave. It's a pity that you're wandering in the Wilderness and dying an unnatural death. In the future, you'll work in the casino and help Lord Snake, okay?"
What else could Bai Xiaolu say? He could only nod reluctantly and say, "… Okay."
"Very good."
Lord Snake's smile grew wider, and his eyes became deeper. His gaze was like two barbed tongues, licking Bai Xiaolu's face and hands. "Do you know what's the most important thing in the casino?"
Bai Xiaolu shook his head and trembled all over.
"Technology and trust."
Lord Snake said softly, "Lord Snake can teach you technology slowly. But tell Lord Snake, how can two strangers build the foundation of trust in the shortest time possible?"
Bai Xiaolu trembled even more and said in a trembling voice, "I, I don't know."
"It's okay."
Lord Snake walked to the side of the bed and stretched out his hand again. "You'll know soon."
Bai Xiaolu screamed and slapped Lord Snake's hand away. He almost rolled off the other side of the bed.
Lord Snake's gaze suddenly turned cold.
Then, it became hot again, as hot as fire.
He opened the cabinet.
There was a sour smell of blood coming out of it.
It was a leather whip covered in iron thorns, stained with layers and layers of blood that could not be washed clean.
Or perhaps, its owner never wanted to wash it, just like the other blood-stained instruments in the cabinet.
"It's called 'Tenderness'."
Lord Snake stroked the leather whip and said enchantingly, "Trust me, you will definitely become best friends."
"Tenderness" was not gentle at all.
With just one whip, he took away all of Bai Xiaolu's dignity. After three whips, his thin clothes were all torn. He screamed and rolled off the bed.
"You're screaming too badly."
Lord Snake stepped on the Simmons and walked over. He looked down at Bai Xiaolu, who was rolling on the ground, and smiled. "You have to practice hard in the future."
He swung the whip a fourth time. This time, it was as nimble as a venomous snake. It tore away the rags on Bai Xiaolu's body and the torn bandages, revealing his thin and pale chest and abdomen.
Then, Lord Snake was stunned.
He was like a venomous snake that was standing upright and had its weak point pinched by an invisible hand.
He saw an eye.
Between Bai Xiaolu's chest and abdomen, around the liver area, was a layer of wrinkles. It was a crystal-clear eye the size of a pigeon's egg!
As he had just said, most of the demons in the Wilderness were born with some deformities, but an eye that grew between the chest and abdomen and contained infinite lightning was also rare.
Not to mention, when he stared at this eye, the eye stared at him. It even protruded from Bai Xiaolu's chest and abdomen, and the skin around it was stretched and bulged.
It was like —
Behind the eye, there was a face, a brain, and all of them were about to come out of Bai Xiaolu's body, open its bloody mouth, and swallow him in one bite!
"Now."
Brother screamed, "Bear with it, Xiaolu!"
Bai Xiaolu felt like his liver had been punched hard.
No, it was as if a shotgun was pressed against his chest and abdomen and fired.
He couldn't help but scream, and blood spurted out from his mouth and nose.
But a flame of hope was born in his heart, and he saw a way to escape.
He knew that his brother had made his move.
At this moment, the more severe the pain he suffered, the more severe the pain the target's brain would suffer — this was his brother's "ability".
Sure enough, Lord Snake's eyes suddenly scattered a bloody mist, and blood flowed out from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.
He seemed to be drunk. He threw away the whip and staggered to dance.
This was a sign of severe brain damage.
The big boss of the Sirius Casino was really powerful. In the past, when facing the bandits in the Wilderness, every time his brother made his move, those bandits would silently spurt out blood and die. Now, there was only one target. His brother had made his move once, but he still couldn't completely kill him.
So, his brother made a second move.
Bai Xiaolu felt that his internal organs were burning.
By the same logic, Lord Snake's skull should also be filled with the raging flames of his brainwaves.
Lord Snake stared at Bai Xiaolu in a daze. He didn't expect this "Xiaolu" to grow sharp antlers. He reached out to grab the boy, but Bai Xiaolu nimbly dodged. Lord Snake's retina and optic nerves had been burned out, and he was blind. He couldn't see him at all.
Lord Snake wanted to scream, but hot blood spurted out from his throat, and he couldn't make a single sound.
"Ah!"
Bai Xiaolu went behind Lord Snake and ruthlessly knocked Lord Snake to the ground. He pushed the cabinet full of all kinds of equipment on him.
Lord Snake didn't resist, and his struggle became weaker and weaker. Blood and brain matter flowed out around his head, converging into a pool of sticky stain.
"It worked!"
Bai Xiaolu was in pain and laughing at the same time.
Unexpectedly, Lord Snake regained his senses and grabbed his ankle as if his nerves were twitching.
"Ah!"
Bai Xiaolu screamed. His whole body went limp, and he almost fell next to Lord Snake.
Lord Snake grabbed his ankle with one hand, but his other hand instinctively pulled out the pistol in his boot and fired randomly.
He didn't aim accurately before he died, so naturally, he didn't hit Bai Xiaolu.
But the sound of the gunshot could be heard outside, and it attracted the attention of the Sirius Casino.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
It wasn't surprising to hear screams in Lord Snake's secret room, but there was definitely something wrong with the gunshots.
"Lord Snake? Lord Snake! "
