Chapter 980: I bet your gun can't shoot bullets
The group of young men who were racing bicycles in the Orleans Valley with Lin Chao were shocked by Abett's words, predicting that the elimination of nuclear radiation was too far away for them, and that the blonde woman getting 20,000 yuan in extra money was something they had experienced firsthand.
They also wanted to ask Apitt how he knew that a gang of vigilantes had come from outside and blocked the tavern.
Someone shouted, "Apitt is here!"
A bald man in a dark trench coat stepped out from behind and looked directly at Apitt, "I'm the sheriff from the city, and I want to talk to you about something." β
"Everyone else walks away, the Sheriff's Bureau is on business!"
The idlers and others retreated, and Abett stood there alone.
Lin Chao had already seen this group of vigilantes, and at this time he was also crowded in the crowd of onlookers to see what would happen.
"It is the duty of the public to cooperate with the work of the Public Security Bureau, and I am very willing, can you ask what it is about. β
Abit's attitude was calm, he had already learned in advance from Master Lu what was likely to happen next.
The disappearance of nuclear radiation in the Orleans Valley is a major event that will shock the world, and all aspects of this matter will be concerned, even Abet, who is an ordinary person.
Maybe he's a lucky "magic stick", maybe he's a grandstanding liar, the officials may ignore it, or they may investigate, especially his life story, his grandmother was the party to the aliens back then, which is even more eye-catching.
The sheriff lit a cigarette and glanced at the tavern, his gaze returning to Apitt.
"I heard that there is a master who can see everything, and my boss is very interested. β
Abett smiled: "Only God can predict everything, I am just a servant who serves God, no, even a servant is not qualified enough, if you want to listen, I will be happy to explain." β
The sheriff sneered, "Don't pretend to be a ghost, I know who you are, and I want to use this method to attract attention, I have to say it's a good idea." β
Some people in the neighborhood were echoing, and some people were very unpleasant to see Abet, such as Charlie, who worked in the town government and knew the news quickly.
He was very excited when he heard that the city's sheriff's bureau had sent someone to Fort Watch to investigate Apitt, and during this time Abett became a guest of Kate's family, and the whole town knew him, and every day he was given food, clothing, shelter and transportation, which made him very jealous.
It was he who told the sheriff that Abet was actually a liar, and followed him to the tavern to see what happened to Abet.
Apitt's face trembled, his emotions were a little excited, and Master Lu's voice sounded in his ears, he immediately calmed down, and put his hand in his pocket.
"Stop, stop your movements immediately!"
The sheriff immediately shouted, and the surrounding vigilantes drew their pistols one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.
Charlie laughed and almost whistled, he knew that Abett didn't have a gun on him, but this stupid move would make Abett even more embarrassed.
"Don't make any superfluous moves, or you'll regret it greatly. β
The sheriff didn't draw his gun, but just stepped behind the sheriff and shouted.
His task is to understand the truth of Apitt's prophecy, not to arrest people, even if it is not his job to take him to court, but he still needs the majesty he deserves.
The town's sheriff, who also frequented the tavern, felt that Abett was a gentle man, and shouted, "If you have something to say, Abet, take your hands out." β
"I don't understand what you're thinking, I just take out my notebook and I take it every time I give a speech. β
Apitt remained smiling, his hands not moving, neither taking them away nor taking them out.
"I want to make a bet on all of you who have guns that your guns won't shoot bullets. β
Everyone was stunned, and the sheriff looked at the muzzles of the black holes around him and touched his ears, "I'm really sure you're a madman, and it seems that it was a mistake to come to the town to find you." β
A vigilante also inspected the pistol and found it full of bullets.
Abet asked, "Then do you want to bet on it? God just gave me guidance not to be afraid of your guns, I have not done any harm, I have not done anything wrong, I have nothing to fear." β
The sheriff thought the man was either crazy or stupid, and turned around and wrote in the report, saying, "Yes, there are seven pistols here." β
By the way, he took the gun of a vigilante beside him, walked outside the tavern, and pointed at the sky, "I advise you to stop calling yourself a prophet and stop demagoguery. β
Everyone looked at the gun in the sheriff's hand.
The blonde woman was surprised and said, "This ...... It's incredible, what the hell is Master Apitt thinking?"
Charlie was also saying to the person next to him: "The swaggering truck driver is going to show his stuff." β
Apitt's past is not a secret, it has been revealed, even if his fiancΓ©e wants to marry someone else, but it has aroused the sympathy of some people.
Charlie is taking every opportunity to attack him, and it is best to let him leave the Overwatch in disrepute.
Apitt said firmly, "Mr. Sheriff, you can give it a try. β
"This shot was fired to dispel the lie. β
The sheriff actually regretted in his heart why he did such a boring thing, and if he was heard by his colleagues and superiors, he might laugh at him.
The words had been released, and so many people around him were watching, he sighed in his heart, and pulled the trigger boredly.
Click!
The sheriff is not a soldier and does not have many opportunities to shoot, but he also fires hundreds of rounds a year. He pulled the trigger but didn't hear the gunshot, knowing it was stuck.
Hell, how could it be stuck at this time, he had already heard the exclamations of the people around him.
The sheriff pulled the trigger again, and the clicks rang out one after another.
"Wow, I really can't shoot bullets!"
"The master is indeed a master, no wonder the master can foresee the disappearance of nuclear pollution. β
Hearing the discussion, Charlie was unconvinced and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with that gun." β
The sheriff also shouted like this, returned the pistol to its original owner, drew his own matching gun, and held it high into the sky.
Click...... Still stuck.
He removed the magazine, and on the surface it seemed that there was no problem, but after loading it, he fired again into the air, but it still didn't work.
It's true!
The sheriff felt chills in his heart, had he encountered the true God?
"Come all over here, try them all. β
He was not afraid of embarrassment, so he let everyone try, but as a result, none of the eight pistols of his eight people could fire normally.
Abett took the notebook from her bosom.
"I am just an insignificant believer in the sun god, and I have not made your pistol malfunction by itself, this is the instruction given by God. Mr. Sheriff, I have no intention of showing off, but only to prove the splendor of God, and that the nuclear radiation of the Val d'Orleans is a divine grace, and I firmly defend it. β
"Hooray!"
"Sun God, Sun God!"
The people of the town shouted the sun god, and many people crowded over to greet Abet and want to talk to him, but the scene got out of control for a while.
The sheriff was still fiddling with his pistol, and could not figure out why, and said to his men, "Mr. Apitt will be invited to the office later." β
The words are already a lot more polite.
