Chapter 55, The Night of the Snake Cage
"You're Mr. Williams?" Lu Pingchuan thought about it for a while and decided to use honorifics. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's me, Victor, just call me Victor." The man picked up the plate that had been trampled on by the mechanical dog, looked at the minced meat and soup left inside, and seemed very distressed, "Those little bastards outside used to call me a 'mad dog', but I still insist that I am a 'good person'...... That's right, I'm the 'good guy' Victor. In the future, it should be stipulated that you little bunnies are not allowed to come over at my mealtime! ”
“…… So, 'good guy' Mr. Victor," although the other party's words sounded a little strange, but because he was asking for help at this time, Lu Pingchuan still patiently followed the other party's words to cut to the topic, "I'm sorry to disturb your meal, but we are here to complete the 'arms trading mission', do you think it can be convenient?" ”
"Yes, yes, if it weren't for that damn mission, the ghost would have come to visit poor old Victor." Hearing this, the big man turned around, took out a crumpled Penny hat and an M70 rifle with a sawn short barrel from behind the chair, buttoned the hat on his head casually, and looked at the five people with slanted eyes and said, "There are two ways to please me, which one do you want to choose?" ”
"What?" Lu Pingchuan obviously didn't understand the other party's intentions, "Please? ”
"Isn't it clear in the plot of Old Henry's mission? Please me as much as you can, and whatever I ask, you will do as much as I want. Victor stretched out his fat fingers, wiped the gravy on the metal dinner plate, and put his fingers in his mouth to suck clean, "In other words, I am the king here, and my word is your job, understand?" ”
“…… I don't quite understand. Lu Pingchuan endured the discomfort in his heart and maintained a serious expression, while Xia Yan on the other side couldn't stand it anymore, turned her head and pretended to look at the simple decoration in the house.
"Do you know why I'm called 'Good Guy'?" Seeing the puzzled expressions of the five people, Victor suddenly grinned and showed a mouthful of cigarette teeth, and laughed arrogantly, "That's because of ...... Ho-ho, unlike the old guys who are calculating, I like to be open and honest about all the rules and possible consequences at the beginning, and then you make your own choices...... My children, you'll soon see how rare an old fellow like me is! In this hell of fakes, I'll be the only one you can trust! ”
"Uh......" Seeing that Victor's face gradually turned red as his tone rose, Lu Pingchuan was a little worried about the mental state of the human NPC in front of him, "You said just now that there are only two ways to please you, which are the two exactly?" ”
"Be my slave and dog for a day, or go into the 'Minoan Labyrinth.'" Victor poked his nostrils with his thick index finger and rubbed his dirty jeans in no visible color.
"'The labyrinth of rice glutinous silk?' Situ Nan was confused, "What is that?" ”
"It is a Greek myth that the king of Crete, Minos, offended the god of the sea because of his dishonesty, and Poseidon caused his wife to give birth to a minotaur, a monster with a minotaur, who built a labyrinth to trap the bloodthirsty monster, and every year plundered seven pairs of boys and girls from Athens and threw them into the maze to feed the minotaur." Lu Pingchuan recalled the mythological allusions he saw in the library in college, and explained to Situ Nan, "Later, the Athenian prince Theseus solved the maze puzzle with a thread with the help of the Cretan princess Ariadne, and only then did he kill the minotaur...... Basically, the modern Western world often uses the term 'Minoan labyrinth' to refer to buildings with particularly complex structures. ”
"Ho ho ho, young man, you are very knowledgeable, but unfortunately knowledge does not mean anything here." As he spoke, Victor lifted a curtain covering the back half of the front hall with the barrel of his gun, and pulled it hard - the curtain fell, revealing the huge glass box behind it, which occupied almost a quarter of the area of the front hall, and the terrible thing was that under the glass box was a thick layer of wriggling live snakes! There is also a metal cage of less than two square meters hanging above the snakes, and the metal cage is only thirty or forty centimeters away from the lowest part of the snakes.
"This is the punishment if you fail to pass the Minoan Labyrinth, the 'Night of the Serpent'." Victor tapped the glass box with the barrel of his gun, startling the serpents and saying in a relaxed tone, "If you choose to satisfy me in a labyrinthine way, then you will go through three processes that will make your heart beat faster: first, in the first 30 minutes after the opening, you are responsible for escaping and hiding; In 30 minutes, my dog Kerberus will come looking for you; And if you can hold on until the 45th minute...... Ho-ho, I'm going down and playing this game of hide and seek with you myself. As long as any of you can hold out for two hours without being caught by me or surrendering my gun, your whole team will pass...... But in the process, if your whole team is caught by me or Kerberus...... Ho ho, you will have to stand in the snake cage all night, and if you can stand up and come out tomorrow morning, I will count you through. ”
After Victor finished speaking, the five-member team was still silent and unresponsive. Everyone showed a shocked look as if they didn't believe their ears, and after a long time, Situ Nan, who had already stood behind Zod, could come out and say, "Isn't it?" It's also too anti-human! Who knows if these snakes are venomous? Will it kill someone? Who designed this punishment? We have to complain to the GM! ”
"I designed it, and they agreed." Victor spread his hands, as if he didn't understand Situ Nan's protest, "Don't worry, most of them are pit vipers or rattlesnakes, I originally wanted to add the more beautiful black mamba and cobra, but those guys just refused on the grounds of anti-human...... I have the serum here, and getting bitten or two is not a big problem, but if you are accidentally attacked by a group, it is more difficult to say...... So I personally suggest that after entering the snake cage for a while, you must hold your chrysanthemums and urethra, after all, snakes have a very sensitive sense of smell, and a pungent smell is likely to induce their attack instincts. ”
“…… How can such a task pass the background review? Everyone present gasped when they heard this, and Lu Pingchuan, who had always been calm and restrained, couldn't hold back at this time, "This kind of punishment is malicious at best, and perverted at worst!" No, you'll have to change the penalty rules! Otherwise, we will file a complaint with your company and the legal authority where your company is located! ”
