Chapter 13: The Trap
April 4, 2101.
It was nearly midnight, the wind was slightly clear, and the flowers were falling in spring.
If you have to pick a day to kill, this day is very good.
Gilson II sat in his hotel room, staring at dozens of split-screen monitors on his computer, feeling restless.
On this morning, the Gambling Snake had arrived in Vegas, and within an hour, Wei Province's surveillance was interrupted, for the simple reason that the Gambling Snake had stayed in a suite in a star-rated hotel and had closed all the curtains. Birds and rats were invasive, and invertebrates were so intellectually embarrassed that killers took over surveillance before he even hit the streets.
Gilson II had become a bird of terror, and he didn't want to relive the horrors of seven years ago. Therefore, he couldn't wait to send almost all of his strong masters, a total of six people, to the hotel, even if the entire building was demolished, he couldn't let the gambling snake get out alive. The only way he wanted to get out alive was to be carried out, and preferably by being packed up and carried directly in front of Gilson II. Of course, that's the best-case scenario.
As for the worst-case scenario that Gilson II could accept, that is, if the gambling snake was killed and he failed to torture him, and that's it, he would never consider a strategy to give the other party a chance to threaten his personal safety again.
Speaking of strong masters, there is one of the earl's men who did not participate in the siege, and that is Gary Howton, known as "Hound Dog". The word dog is not an insulting word in most cases in English, so this nickname is not derogatory, but stands for loyalty, alertness, and hunting.
In the end, Gilson II still believed in Oldton, and in fact, after some speculation, the Count found that he was actually the most trustworthy person, so Coldton was left by the Earl's side to serve as a guard.
Everything was ready, all the Count had to wait for was good news that would come sooner or later, but for some reason he still felt uncontrollably fearful, as if an invisible hand was at his throat, leaving him breathless.
The person who also feels a little strange is Wei Province. He still couldn't put his mind at ease, although his mission should have been over by this point, and theoretically there was no possibility of the gambling snake escaping under the siege of six powerful masters, but Wei Xing's intuition told him that there was still something wrong.
Wei Xingxing connected his spirit to a pigeon near the hotel where the gambling snake was, controlled it to hover over the surrounding streets and searched, but still found nothing, just when he felt that he might have too much heart and was about to give up, on the brightly lit street, the figure of a man in black entered the pigeon's sight. Wei Xing naturally recognized that it was a gambling snake, but he couldn't understand how the other party escaped from the hotel?
Before he could think about it, he saw the gambling snake turn into an alley, and then he jumped up, stepped on the wall, and walked on the ground, so he grabbed a few uneven places on the building, and then came to the roof of the four-storey building, and then he jumped like a swallow and swept the air, fell like a dragonfly and a little water, and walked all the way from the roof, and the route was a straight line, and the destination that direction pointed to was ......
Wei Xing was shocked in his heart, how could the gambling snake know the hiding place of Gilson II, he had only arrived in Vegas for a short time, where did he get the information?
Without thinking about it, Wei knew that the top priority was to hurry up and inform the earl. First, he is in his position and plots his own affairs; second, the so-called city gate is on fire, which affects the fish in the pond, in case this evil star enters the hotel, he will cut down when he sees people, and he will not be able to live.
He did not interrupt his control of the pigeon, and continued to monitor the snake's every move, manipulating the pigeon to follow the snake. Wei Xing himself picked up the phone and went to Gilson II, and the computer in the other party's wheelchair naturally also had the function of connecting to the communicator, and quickly responded: "Wei Sheng, what's the matter?"
Wei said: "The gambling snake came out of the hotel and is coming to the hotel." ”
"What?!" Gilson II exclaimed, and he immediately connected to several killers in another place at the same time: "What are you all doing?!"
The response from the other side was: "Boss, this hotel is very strange, it seems to be ...... It's like a labyrinth, I think we're all stuck. ”
"Stupid...... Gilson II roared, "He's all here, but you're lost in the hotel!"
In the next five minutes, Gilson II kept shouting and scolding, and on the other side there was chaos, the powerful people were all on fire, and the grandson was rich, and he was scolded, but they were a bunch of adults who got lost in a hotel, what is this?
"Lord Earl, he has arrived. Soon after, the communication from Wei Province came in again.
Gilson II looked at the man in black who walked in outside the hotel gate on the monitor, and his face was suddenly frightened. He was so angry that the scythe of death seemed to be attached to his Adam's apple, and he couldn't swallow or spit.
As soon as the gambling snake entered the hotel lobby, he pulled out a gun at the ceiling and shot, and the idle people immediately scattered, the security guards of the hotel were not equipped with guns, so no one dared to step forward, who would play with you with this little salary, and quickly call the police.
The lady at the front desk thought that the other party would definitely come over and say something to her, so she hid under the table with a pale face, shivering, but only heard the footsteps of a pair of leather shoes walking, and actually passed directly in front of the table......
As if he had been to this place before, the snake went straight to the elevator, pressed a certain floor, and the moment before the elevator door closed, he fired another shot from the gap and killed a pigeon that had flown into the hotel lobby with precision.
This goods didn't rob money, didn't rob sex, and didn't ask who lived in what room, so he actually got on the elevator. The onlookers were shocked at the time, could it be that the purpose of this hero's shooting was simply to alert the crowd, so what did he want to do next? Blow up the building?
The hotel manager immediately announced the evacuation of the guests, of course, before doing so, he first answered the phone of Gilson II, but the other side apparently did not have time to pay attention to his little man, and ended the communication after a few curses.
Naturally, there was also a safe house built by Gilson II in the hotel, also located in the basement, and he frantically urged Gouton to push his wheelchair and hurry there, although the latter had the intention of fighting the gambling snake, but since the count ordered it, he had to do it.
Since the more powerful killers have been sent out, most of the remaining private armed forces belonging to Gilson II in this hotel are just ordinary people, and there are few capable people left, and even if they do, they basically belong to the type that is not suitable for fighting in Wei Province. As Gilson II fled, the computer screen in his wheelchair was playing a bloody action movie, and his men were shot in the head, sometimes with a hidden blade.
When Gilson II finally got on the elevator to the ground floor, the Gambler disappeared from the surveillance probe, and the last place he appeared was on the floor where Gilson II's room was located.
After twenty seconds of silence, the atmosphere in the elevator was extremely oppressive, and suddenly, the communicator rang again, startling Gilson II, and he replied in a trembling voice: "Who?"
Wei said: "It's me, Lord Earl, get out of the elevator quickly!"
"What did you say, what's wrong?" asked Gilson II.
Wei said: "He has sneaked into the elevator shaft! You must not be able to see him on the monitor, I control the animal to come in, and I can roughly grasp his whereabouts, but he moves very fast, I don't know how long I can follow." ”
"That'...... What should I do?" the Earl was already in a state of confusion at the moment, and he was in a panic.
Wei said, "Qiaodun is by your side, right?"
Qiaoton on the side said: "Yes, I am here." ”
Wei Xing continued: "Quickly stop the elevator, open the door, take the stairs with the earl on your back, and escape to the top floor." Don't go any further, the gambling snake moves quickly, he jumps down the elevator shaft, slides down the steel cable, he can definitely get to the upper floor faster than you, he can also directly invade the elevator room where you are, or block the door of the safe house, then the earl will be in danger.
Now you are going the other way, running up the stairs, the earl's legs are inconvenient, the gambling snake will definitely not think that you will choose this way for a while, this has bought time, I have contacted the helicopter to the roof of the building to answer, as long as you get on the plane, it will be safe, he will not fly after all. ”
As soon as Gilson II heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said in his heart that this Wei Province is really capable, and he is not chaotic at the critical moment, and he has meritorious service to protect the lord, and it seems that he will be reused in the future, and he immediately said to Qiaoton: "Hurry, didn't you hear what he said?!"
Qiao Dun thought about it, but he didn't notice anything wrong with this plan, so he stopped the elevator, went out with the earl on his back, and didn't forget to play a little clever when he left, and turned around and pressed the other floors on the elevator operation panel before leaving.
After running twenty floors with the Count on his back, he finally got to the rooftop and could catch his breath. Looking at the night sky, there was no cloud, but there was no sign of any helicopter, but now Gilson II's wheelchair was also lost, and neither of them had any equipment to communicate with the outside world.
Five minutes passed, and this time was like torment, and Gilson II's heart gradually sank, and the sense of foreboding became stronger, and he seemed to have sensed something, but it was terrible, so terrible that he did not dare to think about it.
The only entrance to the rooftop, the door was opened, and the gambling snake stood there, carrying a bundle of white thick hemp rope in his left hand.
"Find the right rope, it was delayed for a few minutes, I didn't have to wait long. As he spoke, he closed the door behind him.
Gilson II was now leaning against the edge of the roof, sitting on the ground, unable to move on his own, but shouting like madness: "Kill him! Kill him! Don't let him come near me!"
Gouton stood in front of the Count, and his back was the last barrier for Gilson II: "Hmph...... That's fine, I don't think running away will solve the problem. ”
The gambling snake threw the hemp rope to the ground next to it and said, "There is no such thing as escaping, this place is fifty-two stories high, and the helicopter is just a non-existent thing." ”
Chaton said, "So...... Wei Province is your undercover agent?"
"Don't you think it's stupid to ask such a question? just as stupid as you thought you were poisoned not long ago." ”
"You bastard......" Chatton gritted his teeth, but he didn't know how to refute.
Gambling snake said: "The answer is very simple, after I disappeared from the monitor, I did not enter the elevator shaft, but went to the room in Wei Province. While he was talking to you, I was pointing a gun to his head. He's a lot smarter than you, so he's also very good at acting, and every word is realistic.
Gilson had already panicked, and when the surveillance footage was lost, Wei's ability became the only credible means of surveillance, and in this critical situation, his communications were like a lifesaver, and it was almost impossible for you to find the flaws in the words in a short period of time, so you believed it...... The animals that believe in him can even be watched inside the hotel, and they believe in the so-called helicopter, so instead of going into the safe house, you come here. ”
"You're done?" Chatton said coldly, "After all, it's just a war." ”
The gambling snake was silent, and he gradually approached Kholdun, his Hidden Blade ready to strike.
