Chapter 51: The God of Crossing Says
The moment he walked out of the prison door, Ziqi took one last look at Nick's corpse.
His eyes were focused on the other broad hand.
The back of the black hand bulged so high that nothing could be seen underneath or any words came to the air.
"Let's go, you can't let Captain Ji wait." Pony and Brother Ma alone stood on Ziqi's side.
The hallways are long and dim.
On one side of the corridor was a black wall, and on the other side was a whole row of cells. The cell where he and Nick were held was in the deepest part of the hallway.
Empty cells passed by, and light appeared at the end of the hallway.
"Today may be the end of your entire Rabbit Clan." Brother Ma suddenly spoke, "See these empty cells?" The people who were imprisoned before were the children of the elders of your Rabbit Clan. ”
"I said that there are only a few hundred people in your Rabbit Clan, but there are more than a dozen elders, and each elder is said to be your father's uncle, you really don't have many friends, but there are many uncles." The pony said jokingly.
"Why. There were nine cells in total, each with at least four people in each cell, except for the one where he and Nick were being held. In other words, he has not only many uncles, but also uncles and aunts. Ma Ge said.
"Haha, more than half of the people in this small nation are relatives of the emperor, and it is normal for such a nation to perish." The pony said happily.
The end of the hallway was just around the corner, and the light came through the crack in the big old iron door at the end.
I'm about to pass through the eighth cell......
"Hmph, don't you despicable turtle people deserve to perish even more?"
A strange voice suddenly came from ahead.
The ninth cell was no longer empty, and there was a man standing in the cell with his back to the corridor.
"Who? Who are you? Pony asked sharply.
"Hmph, what are you talking nonsense with him? It's definitely not a friend of our turtle clan, Lao Tzu shot him. ”
The reason why Ma Ge is called Ma Ge is not just a matter of age.
He was still holding Ziqi in one hand, and with the other hand he took out the gun in an instant, and the swarthy muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the mysterious man's back.
"Friend, the moment you die, you will definitely regret why you have to run into this dark cell when the island is so big." Brother Ma, who was sure of the victory, said triumphantly.
"Since you don't want to talk nonsense, why are you talking so much?" The mysterious man in the prison remained motionless, and his voice was unusually cold.
"You...... Lao Tzu collapsed you. Ma Ge pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The gun went off.
But it wasn't the gun in Brother Ma's hand.
Because at the moment when Ma Ge pulled the trigger, the mysterious man made a move.
In a flash of light, the mysterious man not only turned around, but also fired a shot without looking.
The shot struck at the barrel of Brother Ma's gun diagonally.
"Ah......h
Blood poured out of Brother Ma's jaw, but he wasn't badly injured.
Because the bullet did not hit him, but blew up the gun in his hand.
In the dimly lit hallway, the pistol that broke free of its palm flew upwards under the watchful eye of four pairs of eyes, and then it spun and fell.
"Bang!"
Just as Ma and Pony anxiously reach the pistol that is about to fall, the mysterious man strikes again.
The shot hit the underside of the spinning and falling pistol, and the huge force instantly carried the pistol into the air.
The eyes of Brother Ma and Pony were filled with disappointment for a moment.
Ziqi looked at the people in the cell curiously.
A man dressed in white and with long hair stood there, as if he had come straight out of a martial arts novel.
It's just that he doesn't hold a sword in his left hand, but a black pistol in a very discordant way.
"Bang!"
The muzzle of the gun flashed for the third time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”
After seven shots, the man in white suddenly stopped.
"Boom!"
The pistol fell to the ground, bringing up a small cloud of dust.
Brother Ma didn't want to pick it up again.
Because the barrel has been twisted and deformed, because the grip has been split in two, because the trigger has disappeared.
The pistol that fell to the ground was still smoking.
"You, who are you?" Brother Ma asked with a trembling voice.
"Hmph, after the death of Patriarch Jiang, you Turtle Crossing Clan actually did such a thing in order to get that thing. It seems that your clan has completely forgotten Watarami-sama's words. The man in white slowly walked towards the cell door.
"Crossing...... Watarami? The pony looked at Brother Ma with a confused expression, "Isn't that the idol that our turtle and rabbit clans serve together?" Is there really a ......? ”
"Shut up." Brother Ma shouted at the pony.
But, it's too late.
"Hmph, good, good." The black muzzle of the man in white is aimed at the pony.
"Listen...... Listen to me, he didn't mean to......"
"Bang!"
Gunfire rang out again.
Ziqi felt that the pony standing next to him fell down without saying a word.
"Boom!"
More dust rose on the ground. The pony slumped next to the twisted pistol, his chest covered in blood.
"Does he deserve to die?" The man in white looked at Brother Ma with cold eyes.
"Damn." Brother Ma's eyes were full of sadness and helplessness when he looked at the pony, and two words came out of his mouth.
"Why should he die?"
"Because he's so stupid, he actually questioned the existence of Watari." Brother Ma looked at the pony's corpse and shed two lines of tears.
"What did Watarami say?"
The god Watari said, saying that all the people on this great island were his people. Whether it is the Rabbit Clan, the Turtle Clan, or the Pig Clan, they should all follow his rules, and the Crossing God is the only god on this island. ”
"Very good, what is the law of the gods?"
"The people of all races on the island must love each other and not kill each other. In the event of any dispute...... ......" Brother Ma's voice began to tremble.
"With what?" The cold eyes of the man in white were like a sharp blade.
"Settle by stake, and never kill. Questioning, except for those who question the existence of the god Watari. ”
"Good, good. Since I remember everything, then did I violate the guidelines. The man in white slowly opened the cell door.
"No, not only did you not shoot me, but you also executed those who questioned the gods. You've followed the rules perfectly," Brother Ma's voice grew quieter and quieter.
"But you're not."
The voice is soft but oppressive.
The man in white walked out and stood in front of Ziqi and the pony.
"I, I'm ......" The cold eyes under the long black hair made Ma Ge shudder.
"If I hadn't made a move, your gun would have killed me. Isn't that a violation of Watarami-sama's rules? ”
Brother Ma panicked, and his whole body trembled slightly.
"Moreover, there is too much pain and wailing in the sound of the waves." The man in white silently raised his head and looked at the mottled roof, "You turtle crossers have killed too many people. ”
"That, it doesn't matter what I do, it's all Captain Ji's doing, I, I'm just obeying orders. I haven't killed a single person. ”
"It's just that it didn't work." The man in white's hand holding the gun slowly raised.
"No, no......" Brother Ma trembled violently.
"I, I'm going to bet with you." This is the only way Ma Ge can think of.
"Bet with me? It seems that at this critical moment, you will finally be able to truly remember the words of Watarigami-sama. The man in white put away his pistol and continued, "Then I'll give you a chance." ”
"Thank you, thank you."
"Sir, please shuffle the cards." The man in white took out a small and delicate deck of playing cards from his wide cuffs and handed it over.
"Okay." Ziqi took the card with a confused face.
What happened next made his mind a mess.
But the strange thing is that he actually felt comfortable after touching the playing cards. His hands skillfully shuffled the cards, and his body was slowly relaxing.
Is he such a gambler?
"Alright." The man in white said lightly, "I still have to bother this gentleman and spread the cards in his palm." ”
"Okay." Ziqi held the cards in both hands, washed the cards down, and slowly opened them.
The playing cards slowly spread out in front of the eyes, and a few rays of light shone on the back of the cards through the gap in the large iron door, which was red.
Blood-like bright red.
Ma Ge knew that he was about to draw cards.
"Okay, let's talk about the rules first. The two joker cards are naturally the highest, followed by A, K, Q, J, 10 and 2 being the lowest. The colors from large to small are spades, clubs, hearts, and squares. We only draw one, and we win or lose the game! ”
The hands of the man in white are also white. Slender and powerful fingers have been gently pressed against the back of the card.
Brother Ma's trembling fingers slowly came up.
One black and one white, one fat and one thin, two hands began to move back and forth on the back of the spread cards.
Soon, the white hand stopped, and three fingers gently pinched the corner of a card.
At the moment when these three fingers drew the card, Ziqi saw the peculiar scene again.
Several symbols appear on the back of the card.
"Ace of Spades."
It was unusually clear, as unmistakable as the six words that appeared on the key, "Honma cell key".
The man in white had already taken the card and looked at it slightly in front of his cold eyes, and a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.
The black hand still wandered and trembled on the back of the card.
Because its owner understands what happens if he loses his bet.
Everyone inevitably hesitates when facing life and death.
Finally, the hand stopped above a card.
"Alas......"
Brother Ma sighed, as if he was about to accept his fate.
The cards were slowly drawn.
Ziqi's eyes were fixed on the back of the card until a symbol appeared in the air.
"Plum K."
It's a big deal.
"I'll count to three, let's show the cards together." A grim smile spread across the face of the man in white.
"Okay." Brother Ma gradually calmed down.
“3!”
Is the quincunx K small?
It's not small, only seven cards are higher than it.
“2!”
The smile of the man in white was stronger and colder.
Brother Ma gradually became nervous.
“1!”
Could it be that your luck would be so bad?
"Show the cards!"
Both sides spread their palms at the same time.
The man in white looked at the other party's cards and let out a sneer, then slowly raised his left hand holding the gun.
Ma Ge looked at the opponent's cards and found bitterly that his luck was really so bad.
Plum K is really not small, but it can't save the owner's life!
"Bang!"
Gunshots rang out again in the narrow corridors.
