Chapter 12 12Review after the event ①

*

After Li Guanqi killed the person, he patted his butt with gold coins and left, leaving a group of people in the casino looking at the man's body on the ground in silence, and the audience in front of the screen looking at Li Guanqi's back, unable to touch it.

What mind.

Most people don't understand why Li Guanqi's revenge is so silent, just like they don't understand why Li Guanqi can always be the winner when he sits at the gambling table.

They simply felt that they had watched an interesting farce, and the sudden behavior of the protagonist in the farce made them dumbfounded, so they could only look at each other, not knowing how to evaluate it.

However, it was not because of the man's death.

The famous Russian short story writer "Chekhov" once said - "If a gun appears in the first act of a movie, then the gun will definitely go off in the third act."

Although we all know that in the world of pirates, perhaps no one has published this theory, but this does not prevent people in this world from realizing the man's second appearance through the unconcealed narrative content on the screen.

There is no doubt that he will die.

Especially after what happened in the past week, the man's death has basically become a certainty in everyone's eyes.

It's like a time bomb that is bound to explode. People know that it will explode, but they don't know when it will explode and what it will look like when it explodes.

In fact, they were just surprised.

I was surprised by Li Guanqi's attitude when he fired, and I was also surprised by Li Guanqi's timing when he fired.

Because in most people's expectations, Li Guanqi's revenge should be as passionate and flamboyant as fire, with the unique recklessness and indignation of young people, shouting angry slogans and impassioned.

As for the man who is the target of revenge, it is natural that he should cry bitterly in the anger of this young man.

There is no doubt that he deserves to die, but before he dies, he should repent of what he has done, deeply reflect on his sins, and finally die in embarrassment with regret and reluctance!

At least it shouldn't be like this.

His eyes were wide open and his face was confused. Even until his death, he didn't really know why he died.

And such an ending, both for the man and the audience, is too abrupt and too boring.

Most people really can't understand the meaning of such revenge, but whenever they want to question it, there is an indescribable emotion that prompts them to remain silent and at the same time can't help but take a step back.

"It's so weird...I mean, it doesn't look like revenge at all."

In a tavern at a certain port, a sailor who was about to have a drink to relax after a tiring day took a deep breath. He stared at the back of Li Guanqi on the screen and said, "If I hadn't known before that Li Guanqi had died in

If she passed into the hands of this man, I would really think that she went to that casino just to kill that man..."

"Uh...what you said is strange."

The speaker was his companion who also came to the tavern with him to have a drink and relax, "She went to that casino, her purpose was to kill that man, wasn't she?"

"Ah no... Although you are right, that's not what I'm referring to..." The sailor said with a complicated mood: "I just think that as an Avenger, what that guy did seems a bit abnormal...

…”

"It's not normal? What's not normal?" The sailor's companion picked up the barley wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp. "If you ask me, doing it like this is the most enjoyable thing! Hahahaha, it's so enjoyable, boy! It's really just a little bit.

No nonsense! If you ask me, he looks like a pirate!"

"Ah, no, I told you that I'm not talking about that! I mean that kid, don't you think he is very disobedient?" The sailor was very dissatisfied with his companion's point of view, so he slightly raised his voice and retorted: "He

He really doesn’t feel like a person seeking revenge, not to mention the pleasure and excitement of getting revenge, he doesn’t even care about that man’s death!”

"Uh... Put it this way, it seems a little strange."

The sailor's companion was already a little tipsy at this time. He ordered another glass of barley beer, but he did not drink it down immediately, but continued to discuss the content on the screen with his companion.

"If you ask me, the way that boy looks at the gold coins seems to be much more passionate than the way he looks at his enemies!"

"Oh, yes, that's it! Only when you said that did I realize that it seems to be the case!"

The speaker was a drinker sitting nearby. He had been listening since the sailors were discussing the content on the screen, and now he couldn't help but join in their conversation.

"Instead of being a savior, he looks like a pirate!"

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately refuted by other hot people.

"Pirate? Are you an idiot?"

"How does he look like a pirate? If you ask me, the guy's shooting was too understated. He didn't even say harsh words to the man. From this point of view, he doesn't look like a pirate at all.

A pirate."

"Yes, the pirates' revenge is much more arrogant than that kid's!"

"And be even more brutal!"

"The bad-tempered pirate would even drag that man's body and parade him through the streets!"

"Yes, yes!" Some drinkers agreed: "Pirates are much more flamboyant than the kid on the screen! If they do something bad, they really want everyone to know their evil deeds.

"

"But for one thing, I think that kid is much scarier than those pirates... His shot was so sudden that I didn't even react just now..."

The speaker recalled the content on the screen, and recalled the look in Li Guanqi's eyes when he shot and killed, and couldn't help but shudder, "Oh my god, and that kid's attitude when he killed... it's really... creepy."

"What you said is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it? It's not as scary as you said." Some people disagreed, "Isn't it just killing someone? If you ask me, that man could be frightened by a kid with a gun pointing at him.

With his appearance, I guess he’s not a very powerful character.”

"Hahaha, fart!"

A drunkard retorted with a laugh, "You kid, haven't you read today's newspaper? The latest news has been reported. The man on the screen is the pirate who killed General Zefa's family, so even if he looks shabby,

It’s a bit big, but he’s so big, so where can the water go?”

"Although what you said makes sense, if you ask me to say that he was killed by a kid with a gun, he is really stupid..."

"Hahaha, isn't that what you said..."

"But let me tell you..."

In short, people are talking to each other, talking loudly about the content played on the screen, treating it as the most popular conversation topic at the moment, talking about it in their leisure time after meals, and treating it as a new entertainment activity.

But apart from the entertainment, there was something obscure and inexplicable in their hearts, an emotion called 'excitement', which made them feel slightly panicked as they whispered in private.
