Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 18 18 Mayor Rules and Incompetent Rage

18,

"I've heard about you, Mr. Death, Dutch said that you can always know some secrets that others don't know. Is this true?"

The other party asked, but soon laughed to himself: "Hehe, actually, I never believed in these things, but I don't know why, after meeting you, I always have a feeling in my heart that I should believe in you. Very Wonderful isn't it? Well, let's put the guns away and sit down and talk."

Dai Pingan put the gun in his left hand back into the holster, probably because he had been holding it for a long time, and his hand was shaking a little.

Nino next to him also heaved a sigh of relief. He was about to say something after the disaster, and when he got back to the place, he saw that the double-barreled shotgun in the bar owner's hand was already aimed at him.

"boom!"

Nino, whose chest exploded, knocked over two tables and fell to the ground, motionless.

Someone came in and carried the body out through the back door. The bar owner took a rag and began to wipe up the sprayed blood. The other party walked to a table with Carrington brandy and a glass, and Dai Pingan followed with a glass.

The other party's white shirt and black trousers were ironed very flat, the kind without a single pleat, simple yet elegant, and very tasteful to look at.

In fact, Dai Ping'an doesn't know much about these outfits. He usually thinks that only Daqi in the gang is well-dressed, but compared with the person in front of him, Daqi is a nouveau riche from the countryside.

"If you break the rules, someone has to be punished. As for who this person is, it doesn't really matter, as long as people outside know that someone will be punished for it." The other party refilled Dai Pingan's wine, and then his own glass :
"Like death."

"Everyone is going to die, but no one really cares about the cause of death. The people outside just live mediocrely with their heads down, like sheep in the pasture, only looking at the straw in front of them, Turn a blind eye to everything that is going on around you.”

"Only death, the death of the companions around you, will cause them a little bit of fright. But it doesn't matter. At this time, you need to come out and find a reason for them. No matter how ridiculous the reason is, they will accept it.

"Because what they want is a reason to keep their heads down. As long as they accept the reason you gave, you will be their god and you can make rules for them!"

"At Valentine, what I say is the rule! To fire a gun at Kenneth's bar is to break my rule!"

The other party raised his glass and drank it down.The rising smell of alcohol made his pale face a little more rosy, and he became more interested in talking.

"Sheriff Malloy, lascivious and a little bit stupid, but he's a good cop.

Dr. Sherman McKinney is very smart, but he's too smart to think that he can disrespect my rules by relying on some bad gang, so he's not a good doctor.What a pity, for such a smart doctor, he never imagined that he could do such things as murder for money and run away with the money. "

"Have you heard? Yesterday his parents and wife were taken away by O'Driscoll's gang. This morning, someone found the remnant of his wife under the railway bridge outside the town."

"What a terrible scene! It seems that someone needs to stand up and help those bastards from the O'Drisco gang to re-understand Valentine's rules."

"Daqi has promised to help, so you should thank Daqi, this is why you can still sit here and drink after breaking the rules I made."

While talking, the other party filled another glass of wine for Dai Pingan:

"Okay, enjoy this glass of brandy, Mr. Dai Ping'an. Daqi will come later, remember to say hello to me."

The other party walked away, but immediately rushed back, supported the table with both hands, and pressed down in front of Dai Ping'an.

His face was facing Dai Ping'an's, and his two small eyes were staring at Dai Ping'an, like staring at a piece of fat and juicy steak, as if he couldn't help but open his mouth and gnaw on it the next moment.

Dai Pingan didn't move.At some point, the owner of the bar appeared beside him with a gun in his hand. As long as Dai Pingan moved, he would be sprayed out like Nino just now.

The other party stared at Dai Ping'an for a long time, and hesitated for a long time, and finally withdrew slowly with suspicion on his face:
"People's feelings are really strange. Looking at your expression now, it seems that you already know something about me. Could it be that what Da Qi said is true? Hehe, interesting, really interesting..."

The other party walked away with a smile, and the bar owner also put away the double-barreled shotgun, and continued to return to the bar to wipe the glasses, as if nothing had happened.

The feeling of being spied on finally disappeared.

This unique feeling has appeared on Dai Ping'an's body three times in total, once in the night when he robbed the pharmacy, once this afternoon, just now, it was the third time!
This is a dangerous signal that is difficult to describe, just like a sheep in the pasture is aware of a hungry wolf in sheep's clothing, it is a kind of vigilance and fear engraved in the bones of the prey against the natural enemy.

The other party is no longer a person!
Dai Pingan picked up the wine on the table and drank it down. He didn't feel his heartbeat recover until the alcohol drained.The fear of the unknown is very scary, but what is even more frightening is that you have already seen through the other party's painted skin, but you still have to fight with the evil ghost in the beauty's human skin. eat up.

After a long time, when Dai Ping'an couldn't bear to ask for a second bottle of wine, Da Qi hurried over with Arthur and Hosea.

Dach's condition was very bad. He lost a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't had a good rest.Although he took a shower and changed his clothes, Dai Pingan still felt his panic and haste - the sleeves were not tied, and the traces of being bound on the exposed wrists were still bright.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dai, I just met a friend, we were delayed..." Daqi's voice was a little impatient, at this moment he found Dai Pingan staring at his cuff, he smiled, and quickly fastened the button .

"Thank you!" Dai Pingan drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Thank you, why?" Daqi was a little surprised.

"I caused a little trouble here today, if it wasn't for Da Qi, I would be dead today."

While talking, Dai Pingan refilled the wine and raised his glass to salute the bar owner at the bar.The bar owner was still wiping the glass silently, without even looking this way, but Dai Pingan still showed an apologetic smile.

Seeing that the three of Dach were a bit confused, Dai Pingan began to explain:
"I just saw Mr. Valentine, Hardy Smith Valentine."

"Mayor Lacy?"

"Mayor Lacy? I didn't expect you to call him that. It seems that you have reached some kind of cooperation?"

"Yes, the mayor of Lacy invited us to expel the surrounding O'Driscots. In return, the Van der Lin's can replace the O'Driscots to stay here. Why, Mr. Dai, you are interested in this, and you still know what?"

"No, just asking casually, is there anything I can do to help?" Listening to Daqi's words, Dai Ping'an felt that something was still under his control.He breathed a sigh of relief and felt better. He couldn't help touching his head with his right hand. The ruby ​​on the middle finger ring was shining brightly under the light of the candle.

"I think Arthur and the others are enough for this matter. I want to meet with you today because I want to stop our business." While speaking, Dutch waved his hand, and Arthur put a heavy leather bag on the table. Pushing it in front of Dai Ping'an: "This is what you brought us to find. There are five pieces in total. I will return them all to you."

"Mr. Matthews did something wrong and broke our deal, but he is my elder, and he did it for me and for the honor of the Van der Lin Gang. I can't say anything, please forgive me."

Dach spoke sincerely, while Hosea remained silent.

"But a deal is a deal, and I have to do something. So, Mr. Dai, I have an idea!"

Hearing this, Dai Ping'an became interested. He wanted to know what good idea the King of Western Ideas had:

"Mr. Dai, I hope you can join the Van der Lin gang!"

Dai Pingan looked at Dach, then at Arthur and Hosea who were not speaking, then at the leather bag on the table, and finally set his sights on Dach.

He felt that his ears had misheard.

"One year! You only need to join the Van der Lin Gang for one year. During this year, the Van der Lin gang will provide you with basic necessities, clothing, housing and transportation, and ensure your safety. No matter what you want to learn or know, as long as we know , can teach you.”

"I can ask Arthur to teach you marksmanship, Charles to teach you how to hunt, and Hosea to teach you how to survive in the wild. I can see that, Mr. Dai, these are all things you want to know, as long as you join the Van der Lin gang, these We can teach you all without you spending a penny!"

"And, during this period, no matter how many things you find, they are all yours, and you don't need to hand over anything to the Van der Linn Gang. After one year, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, and we will owe nothing at that time!"

"So good? Don't you want these things?" Dai Pingan patted the leather bag on the table: "Then what do you want, Mr. Van der Lin, what should I pay you for this?"

"Everything, Mr. Dai, everything you know!
How dangerous this world is to you, I think you know better than anyone else that you cannot live alone.You need the Van der Lim gang. "

Speaking of this, Dutch's voice was a little lower: "But as you can see, the current situation of the Van der Lin Gang is not very optimistic. We need the knowledge you know to help the Van der Lin Gang overcome the immediate difficulties and avoid some of our problems. Unknown danger."

"We need each other, don't we, Mr. Dai Ping'an."

Looking at Daqi's invitation, Dai Ping'an thought for a while, and finally pushed back the leather bag containing the gold.

"Okay, I agree to join the Van der Lin gang."

"At present, the most troublesome difficulty for the Van der Lin Gang is the financial problem, so let's continue our previous transaction. After a while, I will bring back the remaining half. I don't want to be special, since I choose If I join the Van der Lin gang, then I will pay no less than a share. As for the misunderstanding between me and Mr. Matthews..."

Dai Pingan stopped Hosea who was about to speak:

"The past, let it go, after all, we didn't know each other very well at the time, didn't we, Mr. Hosea Matthews. If you feel sorry, you might as well do something..."

"Not what?"

"Why don't you guys do me a favor and set this bar on fire? I don't really like its decoration style. Hehe~"

Dai Ping'an's voice was so loud that even the owner of the bar at the side could hear the last sentence clearly.He stopped wiping the wine glass and looked over, but he still saw Dai Pingan's apologetic smile:

"Just kidding! Just kidding! I don't think Mr. Hardy Smith Valentine, our Mayor Lacy, wouldn't mind, right, hehe~haha~hahaha~"

Dai Pingan's laughter grew louder and louder.

The bar owner began to lower his head and wipe the glasses again.He was too lazy to talk to the lunatic in front of him who could only smirk. The mayor had promised to let him go today, and there was no one else in the bar at the moment, so let this lunatic just smirk there.

Dach and Arthur were a little confused, they didn't understand why Dai Ping'an suddenly went crazy.But since the bar owner didn't say anything, they naturally didn't think much about it.

Only Hosea took a deep look at the person in front of him. He has been in contact with Dai Ping'an for the longest time, and he knows that although this person has a weird personality and is sometimes hot and cold, he never says anything inappropriate. Could it be that he really Want to burn this bar down?
Of course Dai Ping'an wanted to burn down the bar, not only that, but he also wanted to burn down the entire Valentin together with the crazy mayor!Only in this way can the anger ignited in his heart because of his powerlessness be eliminated.

Incompetent fury!
It was this feeling, this was not the first time he felt it after he came to this world, but it was the time he felt the most powerless.When Mayor Lacy jumped in front of him, he was so scared that he even forgot the idea of ​​running away.

Fear can't solve any problems. He can no longer be afraid, and he can no longer run away. It is time to make some changes.

After laughing for a long time, Dai Pingan recovered and returned to normal. He continued to talk about the future plans of the Van der Lin Gang with the three dazed people.

Since Dai Ping'an rejected the gold, the first thing to do next was to go to Saint Denis to exchange gold with Josiah Trelawney.Because the amount was huge this time, Hosea, Javier and Bill went there.

Arthur continued to accompany Daqi to recover from his illness, Dai Pingan stayed in the camp, doing what he wanted to do, and Micah took John, Charles and others to investigate the accurate information of the O'Drisco Gang around Valentine, and waited until Ha Will and the others will do it again when they come back.

The arrangement made by Hosea was very reasonable, Dach was very satisfied, but there was only one thing that Dai Pingan disagreed with - he was going to Saint-Denis too.

"A friend was there, and I suddenly missed him!"

　Writing this chapter today is a bit uncomfortable. It’s really hard to write insanity. I’ve been thinking about it all day, and I almost went crazy in my heart.
