Chapter 368 The Origin of the Gambler

The jailer listened to the warden's words and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he sat down on the ground.

"So teacher, what should we do now?"

The warden did not answer his question.

His eyes fell through the isolation glass wall on Lu Xiao, Ying Ying and Zhang Chu who were chatting outside.

Lu Xiao said with a somewhat puzzled tone:

"Mr. Shadow, why did you join that saint organization?"

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, Shadow smiled, and then slowly began to explain:

“In the beginning, Nick Ryder founded the Saints.”

"The meaning of the saint's existence is to awaken Cthulhu."

"Nick Ryder has done a lot to prepare for this."

"That's when we saw a dramatic decline in human numbers."

"So the gamblers were first sent to investigate."

"When I saw that guy again, he said that he had found the hope of becoming a god."

"Then the pope also joined the saints, trying to find a chance to become a god inside."

"At that time, the rest of us pioneers kept an eye out."

"We don't know how Nick Ryder ended up in this new world."

"Due to the strength of his spirit, we cannot launch an attack on him."

“And that’s how the Saints started to grow.”

"Later I was worried that gamblers would betray humanity, so I chose to join the Saints."

“My initial idea was to be a watchdog.”

As he spoke, he smiled.

"As I learned more about it, I found that things were not that simple."

“Gamblers are endowed with the trait of ‘greed’.”

"Then other characteristics of sin appear."

"If it's just to awaken Cthulhu, then this behavior doesn't make much sense."

"Because these foreign gods cannot use these properties."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao became even more confused.

"Then why can't foreign gods use these properties?"

Shadow shook his head and said:

"I don't know the specific reason."

"It's like you know that one plus one equals two, but you don't trace why it equals two."

"I just know that they cannot use these characteristics and cannot integrate them."

"The only ones that can use these characteristics are life forms born on Earth."

Lu Xiao nodded, he seemed to understand.

The same goes for Zhang Chu on the side.

Shadow took a breath and continued:

"The attribute 'sin' is very powerful."

"If the fusion is successful, you can skip the god-making ceremony and become a god directly."

"I don't understand how Nick Ryder brought together people with these attributes."

"But that's why I stayed at Saints."

Lu Xiao nodded again, and then asked softly:

"So did you find the answer?"

Shadow shook his head.

Then Lu Xiao's eyes lit up and he chuckled:

"Hey, how about I ask you about the Mirror of Omniscience?"

Hearing this, Shadow shook his head and said:

"no need."

"Because Nick Ryder is dead, there is little point in getting to the bottom of it."

Hearing this, Zhang Chu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted:

"Why do you think he's dead?"

After the words fell, Shadow's pupils shrank slightly.

His eyes fell on Zhang Chu.

After a long time, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

Then he pinched his chin and fell into thought.

What Zhang Chu said reminded Shadow.

Let’s not talk about Nick Ryder.

Take Zhang Chu in front of him as an example.

Zhang Chu, who was already dead, was taken to the dark prison by Lu Xiao and came back to life.

With his resurrection which is not a true meaning.

After all, the current Zhang Chu is just a living being that possesses some of Zhang Chu's memories.

It was Dan Qingrong who pieced the corpse together and gave it life through the characteristics of life.

Strictly speaking, this is no longer the original Zhang Chu himself.

At this time, Shadow already had the idea of ​​​​asking questions to the Mirror of Omniscience.

But reason told him that the cost of this problem would be very high.

Because it involves the level of gods.

Shadow began to carefully recall everything that happened after joining the Saints.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find any loopholes in it.

And through communication with the director, Shadow knew the full story of that battle.

Nick Ryder died at the hands of a more powerful god.

Under the suppression of that kind of personality, it should be impossible for Nick Ryder to have the possibility of resurrection.

At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly said:

"By the way, that gambler seems to be a pioneer too. What is his origin?"

Hearing this, Shadow rummaged through his memory again.

Soon he found the origin of this person in the corner of his memory.

This person hangs out in casinos all day long and is an extremely addicted gambler.

He has a well-known name in Las Vegas.

‘The God of Las Vegas. ’

The reason why it appears in Shadow's memory.

That's because gamblers win huge fortunes at one time in a Las Vegas casino.

It was precisely because of his behavior that he was resented by the casino owner.

They bribed the police there to arrest the gamblers on trumped-up charges.

But the law there does not include the death penalty.

In order to prevent future troubles, the boss didn't know what means to use.

Put a case in Huaxia on the gambler.

After the boss's operation.

Huaxia successfully extradited the gambler and sentenced him to death.

By chance, because the base needed a group of death row prisoners for experiments.

The gambler appeared in Shadow's vision at this time.

At that time, Anti was still studying at the base.

At that time, he had an experiment in his hand, which happened to use the gambler.

But this person's luck is really good.

He can always save his life in various experiments.

This soon attracted the attention of the base.

After all, one or two times can be attributed to good luck, but three or four times, or even more than ten times.

This has to make people suspicious.

Later, Dr. Li began to study the gambler himself.

It turned out that this person's luck was really outrageous.

Since then, the status of the gambler has changed.

From an experimental consumable to a member of the special team.

Later, when Anti left the base, he took the gambler with him.

Then, the catastrophe began.

The gambler began to fight for humanity.

At that time, he did not have the characteristic of "fate".

He got this characteristic after joining the Saints.

He got two characteristics in the Saints, one is "fate" and the other is "greed".

These two characteristics are extremely consistent with his personality.

This is also the reason why the gambler said that he found a way to become a god in the Saints.

After having the characteristics, he chose the characteristic of "fate" to start his own god-making ceremony.

Thinking of this, Shadow felt that he seemed to have caught something.
