Ember Gun

  Chapter 19 One-sixth

   "Finally I can break the meeting."

  Eve said weakly. She had been dancing with Lorenzo since the beginning, and she finally had a chance to take a break when switching tracks.

  So far, the two people's incubation is considered successful. No one found the abnormality of the two, and no one talked to them. On the contrary, some curious eyes looked at them, making Eve a little panicked.

   "Don't worry, they are just curious."

  Lorenzo's words are just right.

  "This kind of dance party has been held so secretly. I don’t know how many times it has been held. Even the masked guests will have a familiar feeling between them. But today there are more us, they must want to know where we came from."

   "Want to talk?"

   "No need, the more you talk, the easier it will be to reveal yourself."

  Lorenzo's acting ability is really strong. Seeing his casual style, it seems like he has participated many times.

Gray-blue eyes patrolled back and forth. In fact, he was also very upset, but he did not tell Eve that the feeling was rising when he saw the painted glass window. It was originally a building in the church, but now it appears in In this weird underground, it seems that behind the glass is the gate to hell.

   "Eve, have you seen the guard?" Lorenzo said suddenly.

   "Guard?" The girl looked around, everything was bathed in a sea of ​​joy. There was no guard.

   "Yes, we came all the way. There were no guards except for the very beginning."

Lorenzo's expression was rare and solemn, sitting in his seat, everything seemed to be the same, just like an ordinary dance, but he suddenly found something, the attendants walked through the crowd, they held trays on top of them. Coins and gold.

The transaction has already begun, or it has started since the two entered here. Lorenzo thought there would be a formal speech here, and then he shining out surrounded by a group of beautiful women, but now the goods being traded are just It was placed on a tray like a drink and passed through the crowd.

  Damn it, then Sabo will most likely not appear.

  Everything tonight is a perfect script, Lorenzo has calculated everything, but did not think of it.

And just when Lorenzo was worried, an attendant came over with butcher coins and gold and silver jewelry on the tray. Lorenzo pretended to be familiar and was about to take out the last few butcher coins to pass away. While serving, the attendant spoke up.

   "Sir, someone invited you."

  The attendant wore a mask and had a cold voice, which made Lorenzo feel a little uneasy in this situation.

"invite me?"

  Lorenzo asked again, only to see the attendant step aside. On the high platform behind him, a man wearing a bull mask was waving at Lorenzo.

   "Eve, get the weapon ready, we should be exposed."

  Lorenzo stood up and whispered to Eve in the process.

  The girl's expression suddenly changed a little, her hand was gently lying on her thigh, and there was only a thin dress between her cold weapon and her.

   "What are you going to do?"

  The girl also asked him in a low voice, only to see Lorenzo pick up the pocket watch, it was 1 o'clock in the morning.

   "When I go to the appointment, I can't escape it anymore."

  Speaking, Lorenzo took Eve's hand and strode forward.

  ...

This is the highest point of the hall, just under the painted glass. Lorenzo remembered that there were many people on the high platform when he looked underground, but when he arrived, there was only one standing beside the man who waved to him. A distant attendant.

  It is obviously a warm and joyful dance, but there is a lot of desertedness here.

  "Welcome my new friend."

  The man expressed welcome, his body was too strong with his open hands. This figure matched his mask very well, which reminded Lorenzo of the shrike's mask.

   "It looks like I have been exposed. I want to know how you discovered me, Mr. Sabo."

  Lorenzo sat opposite Sabo with Eve. He didn't hide the slightest, he said all this directly, still looking calmly.

  There is no need to cover up, it would be ridiculous. In fact, Sabo can kill them directly instead of inviting them.

  Sabo smiled slightly. He is the master here, and everything is under his control.

"From the time you got in the car, sir. You know that there are bad opinions about hygiene here. Usually, when there are enough guests, it will be closed to the outside world. Even if you bring new guests, old guests need to apply to me, but such a place... who would say Going out?"

  Everyone wears a mask and dances lightly on the dance floor.

  "Here is the kingdom of heaven, but people are greedy, no one will share it with others. Therefore, the number of guests can only decrease, but not more, let alone your butcher coins."

  The shrike's coin was flipped on the table, and finally the shrike's side was facing up, and Sabo looked at Lorenzo, the eyes of the bull's mask seemed to be shining.

"Do you know sir, one butcher coin can be exchanged for three golden lion coins, enough for a family in Xiacheng to live for a few months, and it will not depreciate with the rise and fall of prices, as long as you hold it to the exchange point? It will definitely be exchanged for money."

  Sabo said quietly.

  "Xiacheng District is a garbage dump. In order to protect Butcher Coins, the poor will hide them in their closest places, and countless people have to gently rub them with their hands to ensure its existence. This is their life."

   "Look at your butcher's coin. The brand-new one is as if it was taken out from the mint just now. This new coin is only owned by the noble Shrike."

   Various details exposed Lorenzo, and he nodded slightly. However, when Tu was indifferent, there was no need to hide anything. Then Lorenzo directly took out the silver revolver and pointed it at Sabo. This was a dangerous move, but the attendant not far away seemed to have not seen it.

   "Then I think you should know this gun."

   "Shrike's gun, of course I recognize it."

  Sabo seemed to be unsurprised by the appearance of this gun, and there was not even any fluctuations. He picked up the wine glass on the side and poured blood-like wine.

  "Its name is the death knell, because Shrike said that when it fires, the sound is very similar to the bell of the dead."

  The bell rang and the bullet popped out, and the dead slept forever under the earth.

  Lorenzo looked at the ghosts and gods portrayed on the bullet nest. The ghosts counterattacked the god's territory, and then burned to ashes in a fire.

   "I just want to ask a few questions, there is no need to bleed."

   "But when you come with a weapon, you are ready to bleed, aren't you?"

  The two looked at each other a little, and their eyes showed the same feelings, like hunters who met on a narrow road, and they all knew what would happen next.

It was just a simple conversation, but the weird pressure strangled Eve’s throat. From the moment she was seated, she couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t even move, even if Lorenzo opened her. She didn't make any resistance when the skirt picked up the gun named Deathstroke.

  This joyous ball was not broken by Lorenzo's gun, but both of them clearly felt the undercurrent surging in it.

   "How about finding a compromise?"

  Lorenzo suddenly put down his gun. He gave up his tough attitude, with a confident smile under the brass mask.

   "You seem to know the status quo very well." Sabo looked at the man in front of him, and he suddenly became interested.

"Yeah, even if I kill you, I will definitely not be able to get out of here alive. You are doing ugly business here. You not only have to protect yourself, but also satisfy the guests. After all, they are the guests here. Take it off. The masks are the hands of the old Dunling’s various important positions. You are a stain on them if you are alive. If they join hands, you will undoubtedly die."

  Lorenzo looked at this magnificent hall, and it was hard to imagine how much Saab had bet on here.

   "As long as you give an order, there will be a group of guards who will come out and take the guests to evacuate, and then this will become a bunker, no one can escape, no one can come in."

  Just like the hot spring pass of the tunnel, a person holding a firearm guarding the outside, even if there is an army hidden in the underground palace, it is difficult to leave, but in the same way, as long as Sabo guards the tunnel, no one can break here.

   "You won't resist the Shrike, but you just don't resist. As long as you remain silent, I won't be able to dig out anything."

   "Then what are you going to do, sir?"

   "How about a bet?" Lorenzo's eyes lit up when he talked about betting.

   "Bet?"

   "Yes, only in the gambling game, we are evenly matched, the goddess of luck will not be partial to any side, there is no bloodshed, no conflict, no harmony."

   "Well... it's interesting."

  Sabo was a little surprised, but still did. He clapped his hands, and the attendant came with the gorgeous box, the box opened, and the poker dice had everything.

   "Which one do you want to play?"

  Sabo shuffled the cards as he spoke, and the queen and king rolled back and forth in his hands, and finally spread out on the table, like an unfolding army.

  Lorenzo shook his head and picked up the revolver again, only this time he opened the bullet nest and ejected the bullets one by one.

   "Actually, I am not very good at playing cards. I prefer pure...luck to those mathematical calculations."

  Five bullets were placed on the table horizontally and vertically, and the three masks were reflected on the brass shell. The bullet nest was rotated vigorously, making a clattering sound.

  Lorenzo's voice was very soft, pressing the familiar words in his memory, and then said.

   "Probability of one in six."
