Chapter 399 Dark Trade, Barbarism Under Civilization
This is the first time they have seen a situation like this.
However, the operation of the Waterfront Demon Girl black market has always been relatively stable.
Even in the most turbulent years, they have not been hit by Zhengfu.
Unlike those scattered small black markets.
The Waterfront Demon Girl has a protective umbrella and a network of relationships.
It is considered a truly remarkable old black market around Moscow.
Because of this, they dare to open the black market here openly.
There is no cover-up or other more secretive measures.
This confidence and self-confidence are enough to illustrate the strength of the Sun Gang and the Giant Elephant Gang.
Listen to the boss, that is, the gang leader.
It seems that some big man will come quietly this time.
Judging from this cautious confession, that big man must be of great origin.
It is very likely that he is someone in the Kremlin.
But it should not be Pu Jing.
At this time, the person in charge of the black market was daydreaming.
But he could not come to an accurate conclusion.
But no matter what, just follow the boss's request.
Thinking blindly is contrary to the survival of the black society.
The goods delivered by the dark web this time are very good.
Many of them are little white rabbits from Western Europe.
Those young girls who are in love and seeking excitement are always easily deceived.
As a result, they are abducted by the "catchers" of the dark web and become commodities in the auction.
They have many functions. In addition to venting desires, they can also be trained to do curious or erotic live broadcasts.
There are also many wealthy businessmen with quirks who also need little white rabbits who can act without regard for the consequences. Even if they play to death, they are not afraid of any hidden dangers.
When wealth accumulates to a certain extent.
The threshold of enjoyment and excitement will increase, and life will become empty at the same time.
What is pursued is only more exciting enjoyment.
So those stars and rich people who lack goals often live a decadent life.
Many lower limits are unthinkable or dare not think of by ordinary people.
Absorbing reading and the like can only be regarded as routine operations. People should not play with people and attack their own kind is the true meaning of transcendence.
However, the power of collectivism cannot be underestimated.
The law is the red line that constrains the entire framework.
Therefore, these guys can only turn from open to dark.
Collectivism is the core of human unity.
It is still the only protection line that most people can rely on, and it is the collective convention.
Compared with the old times in the past, collectivism has saved most people.
Going back to any period in history, it is difficult for civilians to check and balance the power class.
The nobles at that time did not need to play dark games at all, and there was no consequence even if they were slaughtered in public.
As for the so-called uprising, it is even more of a joke.
Throughout history, most uprisings were not successful by civilians.
It is often a group of nobles who fight another group of nobles in the name of uprising.
Maybe some civilians can rise in troubled times and even become emperors.
But the essence of the problem has not changed.
So in this era, collectivism does allow most civilians to live peacefully in the sun.
Even if the evil of power exists, it dare not show up too much.
This is the order of Blue Star.
And the black market of the Waterfront Banshee is such a place between the sun and the shadow.
It is a buffer zone, and also a window to the darkness.
The revelry and bustle here are just superficial.
The deeper meaning of its existence is to meet certain needs.
Without thinking too much, the managers continued to work on the auction.
Since the main channels in Germany were taken down.
The base of the dark web began to move to Eastern Europe.
The Waterfront Witch Black Market holds an auction every odd month.
A large amount of secret goods will enter from different routes and channels and eventually be gathered here.
This time is no exception.
…
The sight returns to the underground space of the "Dream" bar.
Chen Xuan stood in front of the long roulette table with a natural look.
There were a full 200,000 chips piled up in front of him.
This amount of chips can be regarded as a very luxurious way to start.
Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts.
Whether the guys who come here are bettors or participants.
They are more or less crazy in their bones.
In addition to seeking excitement, they are also seeking wealth.
Therefore, under Chen Xuan's initiative, the atmosphere on the scene became lively again.
The sounds of revelry and booing were endless.
But for a while, no one came on stage.
"No one?"
Chen Xuan grinned.
"Then why not add some more chips?"
He had a crossbody bag on his chest, which was more decorative than practical.
He opened the bag and reached out to grab a handful.
He took out a gold brick under the dim light.
Most of the people here were drug addicts and alcoholics, not to mention whether they could see the action clearly.
To put it another way, even if they saw it, what would happen?
Chen Xuan was fearless about this, and his face was full of indifference.
This gold brick weighed 10KG and looked very bright under the intermittent illumination of the spotlight.
At this moment, everyone's breathing became rapid.
Even the gang members standing next to them were no exception.
10KG is equal to 352.74 ounces, calculated based on the current international gold price of US$2040.6843 per ounce.
The value of this gold brick is 1,002,022 US dollars, and the remainder is negligible.
A full one million US dollars is in front of him, which makes the total value of the chips on the table exceed 1.2 million US dollars. This money is enough to make a comfortable rich man in Russia.
The scene is full of restless people, otherwise they would not come here to seek excitement.
But no matter what, this money is enough to make people excited.
Some people off the court are already ready to move.
Including the lucky glasses guy who won the last game.
He has a small suitcase next to him.
Hearing the movement in the circle, he quickly raised his head and took a look.
The eyes under the glasses immediately flashed with brilliance.
But at the same time he was a little hesitant.
After experiencing roulette once, he was not so scared.
Roulette is a 50-50 gamble for him.
It's just that the loser loses his life.
But no matter what, in a broad sense, there is a 50% chance of laughing to the end!
"Do you want to try again?"
People are mostly greedy and lucky, which is their nature and can be said to be understandable.
The man with glasses was originally a respectable white-collar worker in Moscow.
He lived a pretty good life.
But he got addicted to drugs and lingered in the red-light district.
He spent all day hanging out with prostitutes from Western Europe.
Under such circumstances, not only did his savings quickly disappear, but he also owed a large amount of usury, and now his house has been taken away.
If he can't get the money together quickly, the loan-lending gang will trouble his parents.
So he came to roulette and gambled everything.
The victory just now made him win more than 100,000 US dollars.
This money is still a little short of paying off all debts. He wanted to make a little money to ease the current problems and leave.
But after tasting the sweetness, the man with glasses found that he couldn't stop.
In addition, the fanatical atmosphere at the scene made him even more angry.
"Let me do it!"
He shouted loudly.
After all, he just won a game not long ago.
Everyone was impressed by him.
They were looking forward to his second match.
Can good luck come to the same lucky guy twice in a row?
So after he spoke, the gamblers around the long table consciously made way.
The man with glasses came to the table and slapped his suitcase on it.
He chose to go all in!
Anyway, this was a life-and-death game, and if he died, he would not be able to take the money away, so he might as well go all in!
This scene made all the gamblers crazy, and they all placed bets on the table.
As long as you bet more, you will win more!
From the situation and momentum, it seems that the guy who bet on the gold bricks and 200,000 chips has a greater chance of winning, but thinking about the last game, the guy who seemed calm was defeated.
On the contrary, the man with glasses, who looked ordinary on the surface, had the last laugh.
Such a result went against many people's expectations.
It also made the last game quite dramatic.
Most people bet wrong, while those who bet on the upset made a lot of money.
At the beginning of this round, everyone started to bet on an upset.
The bespectacled man had his chips piled up in front of his table.
But some people made their choices firmly according to the situation and bet on Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan did not intend to cheat, he wanted to try his luck with the bespectacled man.
Anyway, the worst that could happen was that he would be hit by a bullet.
If he really wanted to cheat, Chen Xuan had countless ways.
The simplest one was to use mental power to adjust the position of the wheel.
During the initial random fast spin, mental power could point to any direction.
After five minutes, the betting time ended.
Both parties picked up their revolvers and opened their magazines to show them to the outside world.
After closing them, they began to spin randomly.
Chen Xuan went first.
Statistically speaking, there is no difference in the probability of going first or going second.
Assuming AB participates, and A goes first, the probability of A dying after firing the first shot is 1/6.
It also means that the probability of A surviving is 5/6.
B shot second, assuming A did not die, the probability of B dying is 1/5.
Assuming A dies, B's probability of death is 0.
So the probability of B's death is 5/6*1/5+1/6*0=1/6.
In this case, regardless of who plays first or second, the probability of death of A and B is basically the same, that is, one in six.
In this way, the big hair roulette is still a fair gamble.
This is also one of the reasons why it can be popular.
Not only exciting, but also because this gambling game is relatively fair.
Chen Xuan looked normal, and the corners of his mouth even slightly raised, with a faint smile.
"Pah..."
A crisp empty sound appeared.
Hit the air.
It was the turn of the man with glasses.
He closed his eyes tightly, and this time he also knocked decisively.
It seems that he really has confidence.
Confidence in his luck.
"Pah!"
Also hit the air.
The man with glasses looked at Chen Xuan provocatively.
In response, Chen just sneered lightly, picked up the revolver again, and fired without hesitation.
"Snap."
It was still an empty sound.
The pressure was instantly transferred to the man with glasses.
As the number of rounds increased, the pressure also increased synchronously.
The man with glasses gritted his teeth and then pulled the trigger decisively.
It was another bye and it was back to Chen Xuan.
Everyone at the scene held their breath most of the time.
The deafening cheers will only be heard after both sides pull the trigger.
They seem extremely excited.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth round, and the winner was still undecided.
Both sides seemed to have good luck.
Chen Xuan took the pistol and still fired the fourth shot decisively.
"Pop..."
The sound of idling appeared, some people jumped in disappointment, and some people couldn't help cheering.
The man with glasses has begun to sweat.
The confidence brought to him by the victory in the last round did not last until now.
Luck is an illusory thing.
Many people say that luck can be explained by probability.
But in other words, for people with good luck, even probability is on their side.
The man with glasses swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
He hesitated for several minutes before finally pulling the trigger.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
Vaino, who was watching on the sidelines, directly put the bottle of Bird Vodka into his mouth and watched the whole process intently.
Even Zoya, who seemed a little cold on the surface, was no exception.
His mood changed with the situation in the field.
Using human lives as a bet is always the most attractive.
Turning his eyes back to Chen Xuan, the man with glasses laughed crazily.
It was not uncommon for him to lose his composure in such a stressful duel.
Chen Xuan was still calm, his hands did not shake at all.
From his point of view, the fifth shot was also the deciding round.
It was a 50-50 chance of life and death.
In the usual games, few people could survive this step.
If both sides still had empty shots next, then the tie would be played again.
And the next time, two equal bullets would be loaded into each person's revolver.
"Pop!"
The empty shot sounded, and the man with glasses' face changed instantly.
Picking up the revolver on the table again, he actually had an illusion that a disaster was about to happen.
"Huh..."
He raised his head and looked at Chen Xuan, and found that he actually crossed his arms and showed an interested expression.
That kind of contempt or contempt came from the heart.
This look stimulated the man with glasses.
"Luck is on my side!!"
He screamed and pulled the trigger.
The bright gun flame lit up, and his head exploded in an instant.
Chen Xuan smiled.
"It seems you guessed wrong."
"Luck is on my side."
"It's boring, let's go."
He threw the chips on the table into the air.
He threw the gold bricks to Vaino.
Then he left leisurely, and everyone picked up the chips on the ground.
He was the first guy who won the bet but didn't ask for the bet money!
Chen Xuan didn't cheat, he relied on luck.
Facts have proved that he is indeed a European emperor.
But it's normal to think about it.
The world is so big, but he was hit by the rose shadow that fell from the sky.
This alone is enough to explain his luck.
After leaving the "Dream" bar, Chen Xuan keenly noticed that there were several more peeping eyes around him, and these eyes came from the commanding heights on both sides.
It shouldn't be someone from the Kremlin.
It is possible that the noise just now attracted the attention of the gangs that belong to the black market.
Chen Xuan turned a blind eye to it, as long as he didn't disturb him from having fun.
He had already experienced the big hair roulette.
Next, it was time to take a look at the legendary dark web auction.
Once upon a time, the dark web occupied a hot spot in the street literature and online self-media of Daxia Yanlong.
In fact, the dark web is not that complicated.
It is equivalent to the ghost market of the Internet.
