Chapter 25 4. Undead?Aquatic people?

"Hello." Campos stared at the woman with fiery eyes, and bowed slightly to greet her. "How to play is up to you. I think it's too troublesome to win two out of three rounds. It's better to win or lose in one round. Do you have any objections?" "But I'm not very good at poker." This woman's voice is very comfortable to listen to. Her noble face has a different kind of beauty, and she speaks and behaves like a young lady from a deep house. She speaks with a little bit of reserve, which makes people feel itchy. . But what is puzzling is why such a noble lady would come to such a place to make an inexplicable gamble with Campos?Campos, who is bold and funny, has long been fascinated by the beauty of this lady.His eyes were blurred, as if immersed in a dream.

"Then how about 'Escada de mao' to decide the winner?" Even children know how to play "Escada de mao", so the eldest lady in the boudoir must also know it.The onlookers all laughed, and it was an unheard of fun thing to use children's games to compete for 500,000 yuan.But the lady turned a deaf ear to the laughter and wrote the check with a few strokes.The check came from the Rio de Janeiro branch of Citibank, so the lady should be American.The check was signed Louise Winland. Campos just glanced at the name, as if struck by lightning, too surprised to speak.What's wrong? !It was as if someone had poured cold water on him from beginning to end, and he was greatly stimulated!

"What's the matter with you, Campos? If you keep doing this, you will lose!" Realizing that Campos had suddenly become stupid, Zhezhu couldn't help sweating for this gamble.When everything was ready, everyone present focused on the game.The game of 500,000 games has begun. The author will not describe the process of winning or losing. In short, Campos is sure to win.He still has a 1 of hearts and a 10 of diamonds left in his hand.All he had to do was roll 10 of diamonds and the game was over, and the tension surrounding the hand began to dissipate.People around him said that this kid was very lucky, so he made half a million dollars.The sound of fans beating one after another.

"Hehe, Campos is sure to win this time. As long as he makes good use of the 500,000 yuan, he can become a congressman, a general, and even the president. It is not impossible to become a president in Latin American countries." Zhezhu was planning for Campos behind his back.Campos threw out a card, but Zhezhu was so shocked that he couldn't even close his jaw.Could it be that something went wrong?Even a child knew that the 10 of diamonds was to be played, but he casually threw the 1 of hearts on the table.This is absolutely amazing reversal!There was a commotion in the arena, and the winner was instantly determined.

Campos lost, Louise won. "I know you've taken a fancy to her, but you're not so stupid, are you?" Zhezhu was dumbfounded, it was obvious that Campos deliberately lost to her.No need to ask, he did it because it was love at first sight.Zhezhu looked at the two of them, only sighed.But it wasn't until the next day that Zhezhu understood the reason. The next day Louise visited as scheduled.The purpose of her coming is to tell Zhezhu and Campos the reason why she took part in the gamble.Today Louise dresses very elegantly, making her look even more like a noble lily. "Mr. Oritake, do you know a medical doctor named Shiro Mikami? Ever since the Argentine government introduced the protected area policy against the Patagonians, he has often gone to the city hall to demonstrate."

"I know, but he disappeared in Patagonia last year..." "No, he didn't disappear in Patagonia. You should know that Mikami published a paper "Petrin accumulation theory" when he was studying." Shiro Mikami is a leader in the academic world. He published a paper on the accumulation of fossil elements when he was a student. Fossilin is a substance that originally existed in plants.Fossils are produced in the tissues of plants when they are about to become extinct.After the pine tree dies, the branches rot, but the cedar tree can be carbonized and turned into a Jindai cedar (gloomy wood), because the fossil element turns the dying plant into a "fossil".

Mikami believes that the substance is also present in human blood.He compared the blood of Argentinian mestizos with that of Patagonians and found an interesting phenomenon.Living in southern Argentina, the Patagonians who are currently facing the crisis of extinction have no fossil elements in their blood.This shows that their race is younger than the Argentines. Mikami blamed the Argentine government with his own discovery. He believed that the reason why the Patagonians became extinct was not caused by natural causes, but that the ruthless Argentine government was unwilling to establish protected areas and hoped that the Patagonians would be extinct. , to reduce the burden on the government.

Mikami vowed to save the Patagonians by telling the world about this discovery.He went to Patagonia alone, and his whereabouts are unknown... Patagonia has a harsh environment, full of biting cold deserts, and a violent westerly wind blowing under the cloudy sky.The natives got sick and collapsed due to lack of food.If you don't establish a protected area and let them move out of this place, no matter how much medicine you send, they won't be able to save them... In the spirit of humanitarianism, Mikami called on the whole world to help Patagonians.But as the leader, he suddenly disappeared.A year later, there is still no news of him, and Mikami's whereabouts have become a mystery.

After listening to Louise's words, Zhezhu looked at her with tender eyes and asked: "Miss Louise, you and Mikami-kun are lovers..." "Yes. We are college classmates..." There was a spark of happiness in Louise's eyes when she said this. "The Argentine government regards Mikami as a thorn in the side. Perhaps he is not missing, but is secretly locked up somewhere by the government. I came to South America to find out about him." She rested her forehead on her hand and continued to talk about her love and misfortune. "I spared no expense to exhaust all methods, but unfortunately, I haven't found any news about him so far. Now I'm disheartened, even a little self-defeating. I never went to a casino when I was at home, so it was a coincidence that night Came to 'Love Dove'."

"Miss Louise, I know that half a million is just a small number for you, but I don't understand why you accepted Campos' challenge?" "That's because..." Louise's cheeks flushed suddenly, "I heard from Mr. Campos that there was a fist-like mark on the chest of the aquatic man. It just so happened that Mikami also had a red spot of the same shape on his chest, so... " The sudden rush of passion made Louise almost unable to breathe. "I think the aquatic man Mr. Campos saw was Mikami!" After Louise finished speaking, the three looked at each other in silence.Mikami is the aquatic person in "Fern Cutting Plant"? !It's just incredible.If he can move freely under the swamp, then Mikami Shiro is not human at all.Campos sighed and said:

"Miss Louise, let me say a few words. Do you know why I deliberately lost to you? Because I have heard of your name." "There is one detail that I didn't explain clearly. The mud ball thrown to me by the aquatic man not only contained diamonds, but also had a few lines of writing on it. Unfortunately, after I received the mud ball, most of the words could not be read clearly. , leaving only one name. It is you, Louise Winland." "Is it true?! Mr. Campos! Mikami is Mikami, he wants you to tell me, and those diamonds are the reward." Louise had never encountered such a coincidence in her life.The whole thing is unbelievable, but regardless of whether Mikami lives or dies, it is a fact that he let Campos speak for him.Louise rekindled hope, and she persuaded Zhezhu and Campos, hoping that they could go to "Fern Cutting Plant" with her.
