Chapter 169: Russian Roulette
"I want to let you go......" the Red Baron said in a serious manner.
"Let us go, would you be so kind?" Shogan sneered.
The Red Baron shrugged and said, "Since there is no personal enmity between us, then why fight to the death here." There is no personal vendetta between mercenaries, only mission conflicts. Retaliation for a conflict of tasks is a very unprofessional act. You let my people go now, and I can get most of you to leave. ”
"Most people?" Zhao Jianfei sneered, "It seems that you want to keep me?" ”
"It's not you. The Red Baron said lightly, "I want him!" His finger turned and pointed at Lin Rui. "This guy shot me last time and almost shot me in the head. It's a bit unlucky for me to keep him alive. ”
Zhao Jianfei laughed loudly, "You let me release the black pearl, but you have to exchange the lives of my brothers." Do you think that's possible?"
"Why is it impossible?, and in a situation like this, do you think you have a choice?" said the Red Baron with a smile, "It's all my people here, it's impossible to break through, you'll either have to break the net or compromise." What else do you think you can do?"
"It's not good, I just want to sue you, even if I die, I won't let the people who follow me die. Zhao Jianfei sneered.
"You're such a nice guy. The Red Baron sighed and said, "But good people usually don't live long. ”
Lin Rui looked at Baron Red and said, "If you want to kill me, can I understand it as a personal vendetta?" And you just said that there is no personal vendetta between mercenaries, only a task conflict. Retaliation for a conflict of tasks is a very unprofessional act. ”
"Huh?" the red baron stared at Lin Rui and said, "It seems that you are still a little bold, worthy of being trained by the silver wolf." It's a pity you did hurt me last time. And so far, almost everyone who has hurt me has died. Why should you be exceptional? Boy, I do admire you, and I was surprised by the little trick you played last time. It hasn't been long since you entered the industry, and it's really not easy to do this. Well, I'll take a step back. ”
After the Red Baron finished speaking, he smiled and pulled out a pistol from behind him, his movement was very fast, almost beyond everyone's reaction.
The members of the XCOM team almost became nervous, and the muzzles of their guns were aimed at the Red Baron, but he did not shoot, but raised the gun above his head, and said mockingly, "Don't be so nervous, if I want to shoot, the moment I draw my gun just now, at least two people will be shot here." You're all connoisseurs, you can't see that, do you?"
Lin Rui looked at Baron Red and said, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to make a bet. The Red Baron said calmly.
"Bet?" Lin Rui frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
"We're all mercenaries, to put it bluntly, a bunch of outlaws who gamble with their lives all day. The red baron smiled and said, "It's just risking your life to get a rich future." In that case, why don't we gamble again, I won the bet, you stay alive, I will let them go. If you win, you'll all get out safely. But whether you win or lose, you must release the Black Pearl. ”
"It's a gamble, and it doesn't seem fair to us. Lin Rui sneered.
"Of course it's not fair, but if you look at the situation around you, you are obviously in a disadvantageous state, and in this case, I naturally want to have a proper advantage. Besides, when have you ever seen anything absolutely fair in this world?" the Red Baron sneered, "I should be able to offer you such a condition. How, do you bet or not?"
"Okay, tell me how to gamble?" Lin Rui said with a deep breath.
"Then bet on the excitement, Russian roulette!" said the Red Baron with a smile.
He slowly raised his hand and pulled the wheel of the revolver away, and all the ammunition in it was emptied. Six bullets clanged and tumbled to the ground. The Red Baron picked up one of them and stuffed it into the bullet wheel. With a flick of his thumb, the revolver's wheel spun rapidly.
As soon as he said this, the faces of several members of the UFO team changed.
Russian roulette is a cruel gambling game. Unlike other gambling devices that use poker dice, Russian roulette is played with revolvers and human lives. The rules of Russian roulette are very simple: put one or more bullets in the six slots of the revolver, rotate the wheel at will, close the wheel, the participants of the game take turns pointing the pistol to their head and pull the trigger, of course, the person who is shot automatically exits, the person who is frightened loses, and the winner who persists until the end.
It is a method derived from duels, a gamble between outlaws that is used as a competition for courage. At one time it was popular among Russian mercenaries, who were known for their brutality.
The red baron put the gun on the table, looked at Lin Rui and said, "Let's start, you or me first, but I still want you first, after all, there is only a one-in-six chance of death now, and if it is replaced by me first, this probability of being shot may become one in five." ”
"Hmph, maybe, this first shot will kill me. Lin Rui said coldly.
The Red Baron laughed, "That's true, so it's a game of endless opportunities. And it's exciting enough. ”
Lin Rui said calmly, "It's really exciting, but how can I believe that you will keep your promise." If you're a gunslinger, how can we get out safely?"
"At this point, you better rest assured. Since you have gambled, you have to abide by the rules of the gambling game. The people out there are all my people, and without my orders, even if you kill me and leave with a swagger, they won't stop you. That's the rule I still set. The Red Baron said proudly. "If I can't do this, why should I, the Red Baron, gain a foothold in the Secret Society?"
Zhao Jianfei shook his head at Lin Rui and said, "Listen to Xiaolin, you don't need to do this. We break through together, and there is a chance to leave. Besides, the two of them are still in our hands, and it is impossible for those members of the Secret Society outside not to consider their safety. ”
"That's right, Xiaolin, there's no need for us to gamble with this madman. It's not worth it. Ivan also shouted.
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I have to gamble, because we all know that if we don't bet with him, we will have to fight with this group of secret society members outside." Even if we were able to wipe them all out, we wouldn't be able to leave. Because this is the city of Canto, the lair of the rebels. Once the battle is engaged, it will attract a large number of rebels, and at that time, none of us will be able to leave alive. He had already planned for this. That's why he has no fear. Am I right, the Red Baron?"
The Red Baron was wearing a hood and couldn't see his expression, but his voice was calm, "You guessed it, little friend. May your courage be as good as your wit, are you ready now?" the revolver in his hand was placed calmly on the table.
Baron Red looked at Lin Rui and said calmly with his eyes, "You or me first?"
