Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 182: Er Gou's Casino (3)

(You continue to explore the room and find a notebook in the rest area, with a phrase written in Interstellar language on the title page.)

("No human is born guilty, but are born equal.")

(The knocking outside the door becomes more urgent.)

(The door is opened by someone.)

(Er Gou rushes into the room first.)

(Er Gou: This is not a place for you to enter.)

(You: What is this?)

(Er Gou: You don't need to know.)

(You are caught by Er Gou and stabbed through the heart.)

(Your vision becomes blood red.)

(You die.)

(The deduction ends!)

Gu Yi opened his eyes, falling into deep thought.

The hidden room behind must be Er Gou's biggest secret. Just the theft of the T-091 ore alone is enough to get Er Gou sentenced to ten million years. To prevent the leak of information, Er Gou didn't hesitate to kill, showing how much he values the ore.

To gain Er Gou's trust, it definitely requires a gradual approach.

Dropping bombshells right off the bat might not work.

Moreover, Gu Yi could ascertain that what Er Gou produced was not dream fragments; it was something unfamiliar.

Gu Yi stopped deducing and closed his eyes to recuperate, restoring his mental strength.

After a while, Er Gou arrived at the back room, with the dice dealer from before by his side.

The two looked at each other, neither speaking.

Finally, Er Gou broke the silence.

"What do you want to do?"

"If it weren't for me today, I suppose your casino couldn't have won that much money, right?" Gu Yi said with a smile, "Everyone followed my bets, and in the end, they all coughed it up. You should be thanking me. Also, you need to practice your dice switching; it's too obvious."

Hearing this, the dealer frowned unhappily.

Er Gou glanced at the dealer and waved his hand, "Off you go."

"Yes."

The dealer bowed and left the back room, closing the door behind him.

Er Gou sat down beside Gu Yi and gently patted Gu Yi's thigh.

"You're really something."

"Uh... thanks."

Remembering that Er Gou was bisexual, Gu Yi couldn't help but shudder, but he used psychological suggestions to make himself appear calmer.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Er Gou (Second Dog)."

"Nice to meet you, Brother Gou," Gu Yi said with a smile, "My name is Gu Wen (Advisor)."

Er Gou nodded in satisfaction.

Clearly, Gu Yi was a hidden master of gambling, not recruiting such talent would be a waste.

"Are you a miner?"

"Correct."

"You can only earn a reduction of ten years of sentence per day, right?"

"About that."

"Join me, and you can reduce your sentence by 100 years a day."

"A hundred years a day, it would take ten thousand days to accumulate a million years, too slow."

"You think that's too little? I'll add another twenty years."

"Brother Gou, that's too slow." Gu Yi's eyes sparkled, "I want to become a first-class citizen within a month."

"Heh, are you out of your mind? How is that possible?"

"I can't stand another day carrying the name of a prisoner, living without freedom. People are not born guilty; everyone is born equal."

The last part, Gu Yi deliberately recited in the interstellar language.

As he expected, Er Gou's eyes widened immediately, retracting his hand from Gu Yi's thigh, his pupils slightly dilated, "Are you from Wapeng High School?"

"I should be considered... a dropout?"

"Heh... better than me, I only attended for a few days."

"Is that so, then do you know Chen Zeyu?"

"I know, he's a first-class citizen."

"Do you know where he is?"

"He's dead."

Gu Yi was greatly shocked, "What happened? His grades were always top-notch in school."

"He died for his beliefs," Er Gou sneered, "Forget it, it's not worth mentioning. That guy was just a fool, not deserving of sympathy. As for that motto you mentioned... I've always taken it as a joke."

Hearing this, Gu Yi remained noncommittal.

He closed his eyes and deduced a bit, confirming that Er Gou was sincere, at least for now he had no intention of harming him. He didn't actively inquire about the back house, as it would surely make Er Gou vigilant, which could backfire.

"Advisor, let me ask you, do you really believe in the saying that all people are born equal?"

Gu Yi didn't know how to answer.

Er Gou sneered, then said, "You haven't forgotten the education we received in school, have you? Where there's a will, there's a way. But look at you after graduation, aren't you just like me, a third-class citizen?"

"That's because I dropped out..."

"I once sacrificed my family, thinking it was a good trade because it would grant me greater power and social status, which I could use to change the societal status quo.

But what was the reality?

I couldn't do anything, even as a first-class citizen, I couldn't change the state of the world. No matter what I did, I was working for it, I was its slave.

It wasn't until I left school that I realized the education there was all wrong.

It had been instilling us with the wrong values, turning us into people who talk only about benefits, ignoring humanity, allowing us to exploit others without guilt after leaving school.

People can never be equal.

Second-class citizens sit in offices, reducing their sentences by 100 years per hour, while you dig in the mines for a day to reduce your sentence by ten years.

First-class citizens lie in bed, just by speaking, can reduce their sentence by 1000 years a minute. To them, sentences are just numbers, a symbol, a joke.

How did those second and first-class citizens come to be? They sacrificed their mothers, graduated from Wapeng School, and became assholes, completely ignorant of the hardships of the world.

And what about 'it'?

It owns us, owns the air, owns the land, owns time. Everything in the world belongs to it, except for the sun. Under its rules, where is the equality?

So, do you still believe in that nonsense?"

Er Gou's speech was highly provocative, and for a moment, Gu Yi felt as though he was influenced by a strange force. Despite using psychological suggestions on himself, he couldn't shake off the heavy stone pressing on his chest.

"What's the purpose of telling me all this?"

"To make you see reality, my friend," Er Gou laughed, "After all, we're alumni. Your vision should be broader than ordinary people. You don't really believe that digging in the mines for a lifetime can make you a second-class citizen?"

"Of course not."

"Ha, that's good then. In today's world, achieving social mobility through labor is impossible. I can introduce you to a business. As long as you do as I say, I can help you achieve social mobility quickly."

"What is it?"

"I need T-091, the more, the better. Tomorrow night at 10:00, I'll be waiting for you on the dark street, and I'll wait for only three minutes. Bring me those rocks, and I'll give you a satisfactory price."

"It's a deal."

"Also, I've said too much today, I accidentally recorded it all." Er Gou took out a voice recorder from his bosom, "You can speak freely in my territory, but elsewhere... you better be careful."
