Survival begins with Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 38 38, almost wiped out!
38,

Push open the door of Kenneth's Bar.

It's still the same simple tables, the same gray and black color, and the hook-nosed boss who keeps wiping the wine glasses.

Seeing Dai Ping'an coming in, the bar owner didn't say anything, put down his glass, picked up a lantern, opened a door behind the bar and walked in.Dai Pingan naturally followed in, but when passing by the bar, he grabbed a bottle of wine.

Behind the door is a downward step, and then there is a secret passage leading to nowhere.It was dark inside, only the lantern in the hand of the bar owner released a faint light.The bar owner led the way ahead, while Dai Pingan walked behind while drinking.

The secret road was not as long as imagined. After Dai Pingan drank the last drop of wine in the bottle, they also arrived at the final destination.

Another bar.

A bar tucked away in the basement.

A bar several times bigger than Smith Field's.

Eight thick pillars supported the roof, and around these pillars were arranged large round tables, surrounded by people in black robes and black pointed masks, all of them silent and low. Sitting there with his head crossed.

The inside of the bar is pitch black, with one and only two light sources.One is a candlestick on a large round table in the center of the bar.A thick candle was burning on it, and various drinks were piled up around the candlestick. Mayor Lacy, wearing a black robe, was sitting at the round table, waiting for Dai Pingan to take his seat.

And the other is the lantern in the hand of the barkeeper.He walked into the bar with a lantern in his hand, found a rag and started wiping the glasses.

"Sorry, Mr. Dai, I don't know what kind of wine you like, so I prepared some of all kinds of wine. But I know you rarely drink with a glass, so I didn't prepare it, please forgive me."

Mayor Lacy's voice buzzed in the empty bar.Dai Ping'an was not polite, and sat across from him, picked up the nearest bottle of wine, and blew on it.

The mayor of Lacy smiled, picked up a glass of wine, poured it into the glass in front of him very elegantly, and drank slowly.Dai Pingan drank a bottle, and he drank a glass with him. After five glasses, the two put down the bottle and glass at the same time.

"Don't worry, I tossed the key to Mr. Van der Lin before those stupid O'Driscot gangsters set off in the morning. By this time, they should have returned to Horseshoe Lookout, and maybe the family is reunited at this time, toast Let’s celebrate. So Mr. Dai Ping’an, don’t worry, you can drink slowly, and we can talk slowly.”

"Why?" Dai Pingan unscrewed the sixth bottle of wine.

"Why? Why did I let them go?"

"No," Dai Pingan shook his head:
"I want to ask why you want to deal with Cornwall. What is the reason that made you go to such lengths to provoke a war between the Van der Lin Gang and Cornwall. If I'm not wrong, even if we can't make it back early this morning , you would have derailed that train too, wouldn't you?"

"Well, I have to admit, Mr. Dai, you are really beyond my expectations. I didn't expect you to come back from my hut so quickly. Don't look at me like this, Mr. Dai, I just want you to get clues The process didn't seem so easy."

"You want to kill me."

"how can that be possible."

"You buried so many explosives in the ground of the hut, ordinary people can't survive!"

"But you are not an ordinary person, am I wrong, Mr. Dai Ping'an?"

The bar fell silent, the two of them looked at each other quietly, only the bar owner was still wiping the glasses on the counter.

"Okay, let's not talk about this first, where did we just talk?"

"train."

"Yes, it's the train. Of course I'm not going to watch them beat the Van der Lin gang to death. You know how much I tried to provoke conflict between them. Remember that photo?"

"The Dutch one."

"Yes, that one is simply art. It took us a whole day to take that photo, and then we carefully selected that one from hundreds of photos. The photo has a total of There are two copies, one I will find a way to deliver to you, and the other, who do you think I gave it to?"

Dai Pingan didn't answer.

"Of course, in order to allow Mr. Van der Lin to cooperate with the birth of this artistic photo, we will inevitably use some small tricks. Believe me, Mr. Van der Lin will definitely obey my wishes, and he will not let Cornwall go."

"Because Cornwall burned the town of Limpani?"

"Well, you can actually say that. At that time there was no Valentine, there was only Limpani. It was not until the Cornwall railway was built here five years ago that everyone had the idea of ​​​​building a new town. After all The location here is good, and there are many opportunities for development, isn’t it?”

"But my father, how should I put it, was a bit stubborn, and he always felt that it would affect his control of the town. So he refused, and then somehow, the fire started one night. Unfortunately, He didn't make it out. I actually liked the place before, really."

The mayor of Lacy spoke very plainly, but Dai Ping'an's scalp felt numb when he heard it.

"So, you also started to wear this suit and a mask like your father, and continued to control the people here by means of cannibalism?"

"Not all people need to be controlled, just like the Downs family who moved here later, you care about the most, there is no value in controlling at all. What's more, cannibalism is just a gimmick, how can cannibalism be addictive, it really works It is the seasoning of the soup pot, my father used opium, and I use this."

While talking, the mayor of Lacy threw a medicine bottle over, and Dai Pingan took it and saw that it was the long-lost "heroine" painkiller.

"You have to know that it is very difficult to control a group of people, especially if you want them to follow you wholeheartedly. Therefore, Mr. Van der Lin chooses those who cannot be accepted by society to join the gang, and my father Smarter than him, we choose to create!"

"And Cornwall?"

"He's so rich, he's rich enough to buy anyone. He can buy the O'Driscots who work with me, and he can buy my pharmacist, Dr. Sherman McKinney. I have to thank him for that." You, Mr. Dai, if you hadn't killed him, maybe he would have figured out my little trick in a few days."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Dai Ping'an, thank you very much."

"So you hate him."

"Yeah, of course I hate him. He paid me a lot of money, a sum I couldn't refuse, and bought Valentine from me. But secretly, he bought my man , like my father, keep me here."

Mayor Lacy stood up and came to the round table next to him.

"The power of money is actually more terrifying than a 'heroine'. Even the person I trusted the most betrayed me at the last moment!"

As he spoke, Mayor Lacy tore off the mask of a man in black robe. It was Sergeant Maloof whose face had turned blue for a long time.Like toppling dominoes, with the body of Sergeant Malov falling to the ground, the other men in black robes could not continue to maintain their original posture and fell down one after another.

The mask came off, and Dai Pingan saw many familiar faces. The butcher, the owner of the weapons shop, the owner of the Saints Hotel, and the owner of the Smithfield Hotel had all been dead for a long time, but they were all without exception. All with twisted smiles.

"Don't worry, it's just a small mistake in the previous dose."

Mayor Lacy's smile is also distorted:

"You said so many people betrayed me, how could I not hate him."
