Wasteland Echoer.

Chapter 68 Crusted Roulette
  "Crusd Roulette, this is indeed a dangerous game with your life on the line. It is said to have been invented by a warden who was imprisoned in Ice City during the reign of Ivan XXV of the Crusad Empire. Right. It is said that he is a crazy person who likes to kill prisoners for fun." Luo Nie mobilized the rich historical knowledge in his brain and said with a little disdain.

"Not exactly," "Forest Glory" said with a hint of high pitch in his tone:
  "It is generally used in duels, and in my opinion it should be a struggle of courage rather than a product of thrill-seeking. After all, it is fair, isn't it?"

"Fair? If fairness existed in the wasteland world, I think there would be no children displaced by the "City Happiness Act." Luo Nie turned his head and glanced at Sai, subconsciously hugging him into his arms. In my arms, protect me.

"You are worthy!" After hearing Luo Nie mention the "City Happiness Act" and "children", "Forest Glory" suddenly roared crazily.

His tone suddenly changed from the "carefree" and confident before, and suddenly became angry and crazy.

In Luo Nie's view, the body of "Forest Glory" wearing a worn leather jacket was exuding an unusually strong "sorrow".

"How can you big guys who have money to participate in the auction observe the children at the bottom? Just a bill city will expel the future of the wasteland world. These nobles are all lowly parasites and filthy inferior creatures. In the great world In front of the Gods and Creator, their despicable hearts will only be a pile of garbage, worthless. Well," "Forest Glory" suddenly roared:
  "Either give me the mask. My teammates and I will set off from the Explorers Association here tomorrow and cross the green forest blessed by the gods to the Silent Highlands, the settlement of the lost ones. Later, we will also explore the gods together. the mystery of our lives and build our bright future together.”

"Either you play Crusted Roulette with me now, and your life and mine will be decided by the gods."

Luo Nie vaguely felt that the bill and the children he mentioned seemed to have some indelible connection with the "Glory of the Forest", but he was unable to connect the scattered information for the moment.

In short, he needs to explore the gods of the Silent Highlands, and the "MB-1499 Klassen's Mask" in his hand contains extraordinary power, which is enough to win most of the battles for them on the way to the highlands.

Looking at the "Forest Glory" in front of him, whose right hand was shaking unconsciously due to anger, Luo Nie quickly glanced at the "masked man" wrapped around him with his peripheral vision, he took a deep breath, made up his mind and said :

"This game... is Crusted Roulette. Although many imperial soldiers also use it for fun, I am different from those who have been abandoned by the gods. I choose to accept it. You're the Glory of the Forest, right? , Luo Nie. Let’s have a roulette duel to determine who owns the mask.”

"Good, wonderful!" "Forest Glory" kept praising.

Then, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised under the mask, he took apart the revolver in his hand again, and showed in front of several people around him that there was only a solitary bullet made of brass inside.

He chose to close the wheel and spin it quickly with two fingers.

When the "click-click" sound of rotation quickly and gradually stopped, he quickly clenched the pistol, pulled the trigger, and pointed it toward his temple.

"Crack!"

Empty gun!

The pull of the trigger and the sound of the wheel really made Luo Nie feel a little nervous.

Now it's his turn!
  Forcibly suppressing the human feeling of fear and excitement in his heart, Luo Nie smoothly took the revolver and mentally considered the possibility of victory:
  "There is only one bullet in the runner. Originally, the probability of the bullet being fired was one-sixth, but now, the probability of being fired is only one-fifth. If you include the fact that the bullet moves vertically downward due to gravity, according to the rotation just now, the probability of being fired is only one-fifth. Judging from the number of rounds, the probability of firing this time will increase."

"My machine-based body is definitely not afraid of the power of brass bullets, and I am afraid that the lost person 'Forest Glory' is not afraid of this power either. But he doesn't know my identity. Maybe he thinks I am a person with supernatural powers. Or maybe it's just a human being who wants to snatch the mask in a brighter way. In this case, no matter what the outcome of the duel is, he will have to face a battle to escape from here. Fight?" Luo Nie thought.

"Hurry up, sir. If you don't dare to pull the trigger, my teammates will assume that you have failed in this game. They will take away the mask with their own hands. But don't worry, for giving up the honor of losing in the duel We won't be in trouble." "Forest Glory" said with a smile.

"No, I trust my skills and luck." Luo Nie said, taking a deep breath to relieve the tension in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, he also imitated the "Forest Glory" movement, put the revolver against his temple, and pulled the trigger.

"Crack."

A clear, angelic voice passed through Luo Nie's ears.

It was an empty shot and it missed!

Now, the unfavorable situation has turned back to the "Glory of the Forest".

After he took the revolver from Luo Nie's hand, he held it against his head with his trembling right hand.

Due to the two empty shots, now that it is his turn, the probability of the bullet firing has increased to one-half. If the gravity factor is included, it will probably be close to three-quarters.

Although "Forest Glory"'s own body belonging to the Lost One would not be too damaged by the power of bullets, he wanted to take advantage of the rules that existed in Sunida Town that acquiesced to illegal activities.

However, beyond the "tacit consent to illegal acts" rule, there is another general "behavioral law" that overrides it: that is, any illegal acts, including "killing" and robbery, must be reasonable, otherwise anyone can exercise unwarranted illegal acts. Behavior can only create chaos, but cannot establish order.

To put it simply, if you can rob illegally, then others can of course.

Moreover, if you snatch the auction items at an important auction organized by the Explorers Association, you will inevitably suffer endless revenge without reasonable reasons.

But if we don’t get this mask...my teammates...these children will not be able to return to the Hope Church camp and will have no choice but to continue wandering in the human world...

After vigorously shaking his slightly heavy head wearing a metal mask, "Forest Glory" eliminated the messy thoughts that almost drove him crazy.

After a slight pause for a few seconds, he still pulled the trigger...       "Click"

Still an empty gun!
  "It seems that Lady Luck is on my side, Ronie...right, Mr. Ronie." "Forest Glory" handed over the revolver with a little fear.

Now, it's Luo Nie's turn to be judged by Lady Luck!
  "The probability of firing is now greater than one-half, and the next shot is basically a 100% hit, but..."

After taking over the pistol, Luo Nie inadvertently quickly released the magic power of plants and trees that had been formed in his body.

After he put the revolver against his temple, he did not immediately pull the trigger. Instead, he muttered something in the familiar ancient Zine Empire language:

"God of Machinery, please protect your apostle."

"What's wrong? Now you think of praying to the gods? It's too late! But if you regret it, handing over the mask and running away like a mouse is still one of your options." "Forest Glory" joked with a little pride.

However, he did not notice that Luo Nie's sapphire-like left eye flashed two rays of crimson and light green that were incompatible with the bright light of the surrounding gas lamps.

This is a skill similar to the empire's new equipment "radar".

Just like the last time he fought the Wuxin Man on Route 62, Luo Nie's left eye vision instantly turned into a product of intertwined red and green lines. The spiritual power in his body formed by the magic power and escaped outwards quickly. Covering the empty and bright auction venue.

Suddenly, part of the information including the lost person in front of him, the "Forest Glory", and the several "people" with the stature of children or teenagers surrounding him behind him, poured into his mind.

"The aura of the lost ones in front of me is similar to that of Sayi's attack on me. It is mixed with a strong aura of 'sadness' and a feeling of inexplicable pain. It must be close to the level 5 pain. There are only human beings surrounding my body on both sides. Aura, I don’t know yet whether they have the ability of the Lost. And the two people behind me, judging from the information obtained from the aura or spirit formation, should belong to the lowest level among the Lost, with order level 7 wisdom and possible combat effectiveness. Not as good as Say. In that case."

The mechanical part of Luo Nie's brain was thinking about tactics crazily with reason. In less than three seconds, a clear idea appeared in front of him to break the deadlock of being surrounded.

Immediately afterwards, he glanced at Sayi's position with a slanted gaze. After confirming that the next actions would be difficult to harm Sayi, who had a pain level of 5, he chose to close his eyes tightly and spoke the words "Guzhne Empire" He muttered quickly:

"I pray for the blessing of the Lord of Machinery."

"Give me the power of the light of the mechanical spirit."

Then, after another impatient urging from "Forest Glory", a bright golden light quickly flashed in Luo Nie's sapphire-like eyes.

He quickly put the iron box containing "Klassen's Mask" into Sayi's hand, pushed him hard towards the door with the red leather gold handle, and then used his brass-colored revolver to " "Forest Glory" pulled the trigger in his brain.

"bump!"

This time the pistol finally fired the bullet successfully!
  A dull sound accompanied by the choking smell of gunpowder passed through Luo Nie's nasal cavity.

Regardless of whether the bullet caused damage, his right hand quickly formed a spirit, gathering the power of the light of the mechanical spirit, and constructed a bright light shield with mechanical gear patterns.

Then, before the "people" surrounding him and those holding dragon-shaped black daggers could fully react, he quickly lowered his head and turned around, controlling the light shield to hit the two people behind him who had the aura of the Lost.

"puff"!
  There was a sound of flesh colliding with metal-like material.

Taking advantage of the gap when the two men wearing metal masks with sharp beaks fell silently, Luo Nie quickly tightened the muscles in his calves, jumped back with force, and used his left hand that did not form a light shield to support the red cloth covering the auction venue. The seat turned over with support and drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

After the dull sound of leather shoes hitting the ground was heard in everyone's ears, they noticed that in the limited time just like a flash of lightning, Luo Nie completed a feint attack with a revolver, formed a shield to knock down two people, and Three consecutive movements of jumping and rolling, landing nearly ten meters away from "Forest Glory" and the others.

Moreover, Luo Nie also used his right hand to form a light shield formed by the light of the mechanical spirit as protection. With his left hand, he took out the extremely powerful "BK-58" pistol from the leather holster around his waist and aimed it. Under the "Forest Glory" metal mask with a long beak, is the head of Wu Xinren.

"Have you decided to fight me? Very good, you attacked first, so I am defending myself!" [Hunter] "Forest Glory" roared with a slightly rough voice.

Then, he silently recited a spell composed of the Chinese language, and his hands surged with pure black magic power with a rich dark aura.

As several black rays of light flashed in his eyes, his hands quickly extended outwards with countless lines like metal threads.

They entwined with each other, forming two huge cat-like black claws suspended in the air of the auction hall.

At the same time, a dozen two-meter-long tentacles that were not mixed with any dark colors and only had pure flesh-colored tentacles suddenly extended outward from his back.

They are twisting and squirming outwards irregularly!
