Chapter 2 Duel
Knock knock knock......
As soon as Zhong Chuxiong's words came out, the sound of messy and hurried downstairs was endless. There was a burst of cheers from the streets outside, and it was like a Halloween parade. The midday sun shone through the cracks in the roof, scattered on the floor, on the stairs, on the walls, and on the people. The dust floats, like the dancing of the spirit of light. Zhong Chuxiong stretched out his hand to catch a beam of light, held the warm sunshine in the palm of his hand, took a deep breath, and murmured lazily and deeply, "This is the breath of life! This world is becoming more and more real......
"Hahaha......"
Billy on the side couldn't help but laugh wildly when he heard Zhong Chuxiong's words, "Yes! This is the breath of life! And you are about to lose your life, and you will never see the world again! So before my bullet enters your head, hurry up and confess and pray to God! Ahahaha......"
Hearing Billy's rampant laughter, the crowd in the bar downstairs also burst into laughter.
"Fuck! Stop talking nonsense! Billy hurried to the clock tower. I took half a day off to watch this duel......"
"Come on! That's all there is to it in this damn west!
"Where's the sheriff, who's going to call the sheriff?"
"Come on, come on...... Billy dies, one pays three, Jack dies, one loses 1.2, Billy Jack is shot and dies at the same time, one pays four......" The boss in the bar saw that everyone was so excited, and took the opportunity to gamble.
As soon as they heard that there was a gambling game, these people became even more excited, and instantly rushed to the bar, took out a handful of dollars and coins, and began to bet. It seems that there is too little fun to be found in the west.
"Tony, I'm betting on Billy to win!
"Same! Tony, Billy wins! fifteen dollars!"
"Billy ......"
......
"Nobody is betting on me? The odds are so high, in case I win. That's a lot of money!" Zhong Chuxiong looked around at everyone, there were really few people who bet on him to win. Zhong Chuxiong felt in his pocket, found a few coins and a few dollars, and slapped them on the bar, "Okay! Twenty dollars, bet on myself!"
Tony, the owner of the hotel, grabbed Zhong Chuxiong's money in his hand, and looked at Zhong Chuxiong with squinting eyes sandwiched in the fat like a dead man. In his opinion, Zhong Chuxiong was giving him money, and Zhong Chuxiong was certain to die! The boss licked his lips obscenely, his eyes were full of greed, "Hey! Jack, I can raise your bet to five to one, as long as you bet all the horses in the stable and the luggage in your room...... I'll count you a hundred dollars! How about it? All of you here can testify!"
If Zhong Chuxiong died, these things would not belong to him, but would be taken away by the federal government. It's better to let Zhong Chuxiong bet now, anyway, he is sure that Zhong Chuxiong will die under Billy's gun. Rather than waiting for Zhong Chuxiong to be shot by Billy to be cheaper than the federal government, it is better to cheapen him.
"Five-for-five, Tony, you're such a greedy villain! Okay! Then I'll bet it all! Get the money ready, I'll get it later!"
Zhong Chuxiong has nothing to do. Someone wants to rush to give him money, how can he refuse?
"Does anyone else want to bet? Jacob pays five to one! After missing it, there are no more odds like this!"
"The sheriff is here! The duel can begin! Let's hurry to the clock tower......"
I don't know which one shouted, and everyone began to run towards the bell tower to grab a good viewing position. Billy's rough stubble face looked at Zhong Chuxiong with a cruel smile, as if looking at a lamb to the slaughter, and he swung his revolver to signal Zhong Chuxiong to follow.
The midday sun was shining directly on the earth, the heat was raging, and the air seemed to start burning and distorting. There was not a single cloud in the sky, there was not a single wind in the sky, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be a huge steamer. Zhong Chuxiong and Billy stood in the open space in front of the bell tower and confronted each other, and the surroundings were quiet, and they could hear each other's breathing. Zhong Chuxiong didn't care about Billy's fierce eyes and looked at his surroundings.
This is a typical town in a western, with two-story wooden buildings, red roofs, white walls, some shops, some houses, police stations, brothels, casinos, pubs, hotels, and houses. The dirt and gravel streets are littered with the dung of cows, sheep and horses, which smells disgusting in the sun, attracting countless insects such as flies to buzz around them......
"All right......! It's 12:45 p.m. Billy, Jack. It's about twelve o'clock in the middle of the day to duel, but it's better to come late than never!after all, it's a rare entertainment for the residents of Hot Springs......"
Sergeant James stood between the two, holding the revolver in his holster and jokingly saying a few witticisms to stir up the atmosphere. Almost all duels in the town are refereed by him, which is one of his few pleasures. James spit out the cigar in his mouth, held the revolver on his waist and looked at Zhong Chuxiong and Billy, "I'll talk about the rules! The one who shoots the fastest to kill the opponent wins, or dies or dies quickly! The one who wins has Miss Eve." Oh! What a pretty and cute little sweetheart! It's worth a duel!"
Tilting his head to look at Zhong Chuxiong, his majestic mustache trembled, and his stiff face was a little unbearable. It was almost a murder, a murder with a showy nature to please everyone. But stories like this play out every day in the West. It's better than pulling out guns and shooting each other without saying a word, and then being stabbed to death by a broken wine bottle, at least to die with dignity and entertain everyone. The sheriff couldn't bear to spit on that, "Jack, do you understand?"
The cowboy hat on the pressure head blocked his eyes, Zhong Chuxiong's deep eyes scanned the sky, and all corners of the buildings in the town, waving his hand nonchalantly, "I see! Twelve forty-five? hehehehe...... In my hometown, this is the best time to kill! God forgives murder, and the slain doesn't even take Satan......"
"Billy?"
The sheriff looked directly at Billy, his slightly squinted eyes staring sharply at him, "Well done!"
"Phew!"
Spit out the fine cigar in his mouth, and glanced at Zhong Chuxiong with disdain with his leather boots, and laughed: "Don't worry, James!
Seeing that Billy understood what he meant, James nodded in satisfaction. He yelled at the onlookers, "I hope you bastards have finished betting!"
"Jack, Billy, listen to my gunfire!"
James pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the sky. The townspeople suddenly held their breath, their eyes glued to Zhong Chuxiong and Billy, and they were engrossed in not blinking.
Feeling his arms and eyebrows jump as if they had been pricked by needles, Zhong Chuxiong could feel the thick killing intent in Billy's eyes, "Huh?! He wants to shoot my arms and then shoot my head! Unabashedly murderous...... Hey! Interesting! Ordinary people who have never killed anyone are not murderous, and there is a life in his hands......"
"Bang!"
James' gunfire finally rang out.
"Bang bang!"
Billy's reaction was not unpleasant, and his gunfire pressed on James's gunfire. If you don't listen closely, you won't be able to hear that it was three gunshots. But sure enough, Zhong Chuxiong's induction was not available, and his two shots were indeed aimed at Zhong Chuxiong's arms.
Of course, these two shots did not hit Zhong Chuxiong. Although Billy's marksmanship was very accurate, and the bullets almost flew over Zhong Chuxiong's clothes, long before James shot, Zhong Chuxiong judged from his expression and the movement of the arm holding the gun: It's time to shoot!
So it was just before James shot.
Ding! The spurs roared, Zhong Chuxiong suddenly jumped out, and his body twisted like a lizard fleeing for its life in the desert...... With the sound of tinkling spurs, the distance of more than ten meters disappeared under his feet almost in the blink of an eye, and the distance between Zhong Chuxiong and Billy was only twenty-seven or eight meters......
"Fuck!
"Bang ......"
Billy's eyes were shattered! He had never encountered anything so strange. In Billy's eyes, Zhong Chuxiong turned into a leaf blown by the wind, ejecting at him irregularly, although the speed was not fast, but it was fluttering like a ghost. Billy couldn't even lock on to Zhong Chuxiong's figure, let alone aim and shoot. So in a panic, all the shots that Billy fired indiscriminately failed.
"Click, click, damn! no bullets!"
All six bullets in the revolver's nest were empty in the blink of an eye. And Zhong Chuxiong's tinkling spurs were already tinkling in his ears, as if the Grim Reaper was dragging a giant scythe closer. Billy threw away the empty revolver in his hand in a panic, and shuddered as he pulled out the other revolver in the holster, "Hahaha...... I still have ...... Ugh!"
"Bang!"
"Whew...... !Fake!"
A gunshot exploded in Billy's ears, and then he felt a huge force hit Billy's revolver, knocking it to the ground, and his right hand was scraped with blood and pain.
"Whew! Good marksmanship! Unfortunately, I didn't hit!"
Zhong Chuxiong stood in the distance of Billy panting, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking at Billy playfully. He felt the heart of his legs that were almost cramping, and said, "It seems that as the system attributes say, the strength and speed are not as good as that of a normal adult man......! If I hadn't crossed before, I would have only taken one step, and these twenty meters would have passed in an instant. Where can he be given a chance to shoot......"
"Click!"
Zhong Chuxiong pulled out the hammer and aimed the revolver at Billy, with a gloomy and evil smile on the corner of his upturned mouth, "Hey, Billy, remember what I said to you in the house?"
"Oh, no! Jacob, Jack. Don't kill me!"
Billy knelt down with a thud, holding his bleeding right hand and begging Zhong Chuxiong, "Jack, don't kill me!"
He turned to look at Eve, who was standing not far away, "Eve, Eve...... It's yours!"
"No! not that. I said I'd borrow your body to test my mind!
Looking at the residents of the stunned town, Zhong Chuxiong shouted to them: "Hey, everyone, you are now spectators in the Colosseum, and Billy's life and death will be decided by you!"
