Chapter 399 Dark Trade, Barbarism Under Civilization
This was the first time they had seen a situation like this.
It's just that the operation of the waterside witch black market has always been relatively stable.
Even in the most turbulent years, they were not hit hard.
It is different from those scattered small black markets.
The waterside enchantress is protected by a protective umbrella and a network of connections.
It can be regarded as a truly remarkable old black market around Moscow.
Because of this, they dare to openly open the black market here.
No cover-ups or other more secretive measures were taken.
This confidence and self-confidence are enough to illustrate the strength of the Sun Gang and the Giant Elephant Gang.
Listen to the boss, the gang leader.
It seems that some big shot will come quietly this time.
Judging from this cautious explanation, that big shot definitely has a big background.
Most likely someone in the Kremlin.
But it shouldn't be a surprise.
At this time, the person in charge of the black market was thinking a lot.
But an accurate conclusion cannot be drawn.
But no matter what, just follow the boss's request.
Thinking blindly is contrary to the way of survival of the underworld.
The goods delivered by the dark web this time are very good.
Many are white rabbits from Western Europe.
Young girls who are in love and seeking excitement are always easily deceived.
As a result, they were kidnapped by the "catchers" on the dark web and turned into commodities on the auction floor.
They have many functions. In addition to venting their desires, they can also be trained to do curious or seductive live broadcasts.
There are also many wealthy businessmen with eccentricities who also need a little white rabbit like this who can act regardless of the consequences. Even if they play to death, they are not afraid of any hidden dangers.
When wealth accumulates to a certain level.
The threshold for enjoyment and excitement will increase, and life will become empty.
What you are pursuing is only more exciting enjoyment.
Therefore, celebrities and wealthy people who lack goals often live a corrupt life.
There are many lower limits that ordinary people cannot think of, or dare not think of.
Absorbing and reading can only be regarded as routine operations. The true meaning of supremacy is not to play with others but to attack others of the same kind.
However, the power of collectivism cannot be underestimated.
The law is the red line that binds the entire framework.
So these guys can only go from light to dark.
Collectivism is at the heart of human unity.
It remains the only line of protection that most people can rely on, a collective convention.
Compared to the old days, collectivism has saved most people.
Going back to any period in history, it has been difficult for civilians to check and balance the powerful class.
At that time, the nobles did not need to play secretly. Even if they were killed in public, there would be no consequences.
As for the so-called uprising, it is even more of a joke.
Throughout history, most uprisings are not successful among civilians.
Often one group of nobles goes to fight another group of nobles in the name of rebellion.
Maybe some civilians can rise up 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 will not dare to show up too much.
This is the order of Blue Star.
The black market of the Banshee on the Waterfront is such a place between sunlight and shadow.
It is a buffer zone and a window into the darkness.
The carnival and hustle and bustle here are just the surface.
The deep-seated meaning of its existence is to satisfy certain needs.
Without thinking much, the managers continued to work on the auction.
Since the main channels in Germany have been blocked.
The base of the dark web began to move to Eastern Europe.
The Waterside Witch Black Market holds an auction every few months.
A large amount of secret cargo will enter the country from different routes and channels, and finally be aggregated here.
This time is no exception.
…
His eyes returned to the underground space of the "Dream" bar.
Chen Xuan stood in front of the long roulette table with a natural expression.
There were two hundred thousand dollars in chips piled up in front of him.
This amount of chips can be considered a very luxurious way to start.
Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts.
The guys who come here are both punters and participants.
There is more or less a hint of madness in the bones.
In addition to seeking excitement, they are also seeking money.
Therefore, with Chen Xuan's active greeting, the atmosphere at the scene became active again.
The sound of carnival and cheering was endless.
But for a while, no one came on stage.
"Is there no one?"
Chen Xuan grinned.
"Then why not add some chips?"
He carries a cross-body bag across his chest, more decorative than practical.
I saw him unzipping his satchel and reaching out to grab a handful.
In the dim light a gold brick was taken out.
Most of the people staying here are drug addicts and alcoholics, not to mention whether they can see the action clearly.
To take a step back, what would happen even if we saw it?
Chen Xuan was confident about this, with an indifferent expression on his face.
This gold brick weighs 10KG and looks very bright under the intermittent illumination of spotlights.
This time everyone's breathing became rapid.
Even the gang members standing nearby were no exception.
10KG is equal to 352.74 ounces, calculated based on the current international gold price of US$2,040.6843 per ounce.
The value of this gold brick reaches 1,002,022 US dollars, and the remainder is ignored.
A full one million U.S. dollars was right in front of him, which brought the total value of the chips on the table to more than 1.2 million U.S. dollars. This amount of money was enough to make him a comfortable rich man in Damao.
There are restless people at the scene, otherwise they wouldn’t come here to seek excitement.
But no matter what, the money is exciting enough.
There are already people off the field ready to make a move.
Including the lucky guy with glasses who won the last game.
He had a small suitcase at hand.
Hearing the movement in the circle, he quickly raised his head and took a look.
The eyes under the glasses immediately sparkled.
But at the same time he was hesitant.
After experiencing roulette once, he was not so afraid.
To him, roulette was a 50-50 gamble.
It’s just that the loser loses his life.
But no matter what, broadly speaking, there is a 50% chance of having the last laugh!
"Would you like to give it another try?"
Most people are greedy and lucky. This is nature and it can be said to be understandable.
The glasses guy was originally a respectable white-collar worker in Moscow.
Life was pretty good.
But he became tainted with unique products and wandered in the red light district.
Hanging out with girls from Western Europe all day long.
Under such circumstances, not only was his savings quickly wiped out, but he also owed a large amount of loan sharking, and now his house has been taken away.
If he can't get the money together soon, the loan sharks will get in trouble with his parents.
That's why he took a gamble at roulette.
The victory just now earned him over one hundred thousand dollars.
This amount of money is still far from repaying all the debts. He originally wanted to make a little money to alleviate the immediate problems and leave.
But after tasting the sweetness, the man with glasses found that he couldn't hold back.
Coupled with the fanatical atmosphere at the scene, it made his blood boil.
"let me!"
he shouted loudly.
After all, he just won a game not long ago.
Everyone was deeply impressed by him.
I am looking forward to his second battle.
Can good luck happen to the same lucky person twice in a row?
So after he spoke, the gamblers surrounding the long table consciously moved out of the way.
The man with glasses came to the table and slapped his suitcase on it.
Chose to go all-in!
Anyway, this is a life and death situation. If you die, you still won’t be able to take away the money, so you might as well just keep it full!
This scene made all the gamblers crazy and they placed bets on the table.
The more you press, the more you win!
Judging from the situation and momentum, it seemed that the kid who had invested the gold bricks and $200,000 in chips had a better chance of winning. However, thinking about the previous game, the seemingly calm guy fell into disarray.
On the contrary, it was the man with glasses who didn't look like much on the surface who had the last laugh.
This result went against many people's expectations.
It also made the last game quite dramatic.
Most people bet wrong, but those who bet on upsets made a lot of money.
As soon as this game started, everyone started to crush the opponent one after another.
The bespectacled man had chips piled up on his desk.
But there are also people who firmly choose according to the situation, and they are on Chen Xuan's side.
Chen Xuan didn't intend to cheat, he wanted to try his luck with the man with glasses.
Anyway, the worst case scenario is one bullet.
If he really wanted to cheat, Chen Xuan had countless ways.
The simplest thing is to use mental power to adjust the position of the wheel.
During the initial random fast forwarding, mental power can be directed wherever it goes.
After five minutes, the betting time ends.
Both sides picked up their revolvers, opened their magazines and displayed them to the outside world.
After closing, it starts to rotate randomly.
Chen Xuan takes the lead.
Statistically speaking, there is no difference in the probability of playing first and playing second.
Assuming that AB participates and A takes the lead, 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 shoots from behind. Assuming A is not dead, the probability of B's death is 1/5.
Suppose A dies, B's death probability is 0.
So the death probability of getting B is 5/6*1/5+1/6*0=1/6.
In this case, regardless of whether they strike first or second, the death probability of A and B is basically the same, that is, one in six.
From this point of view, Big Hair Roulette is a fair gamble.
This is one of the reasons why it is so popular.
Not only is it exciting, but also because this gambling game is relatively fair.
Chen Xuan's expression was as usual, and the corners of his mouth were even slightly raised, with a faint smile.
"Snapped…"
A crisp hollow sound appeared.
Hit the air.
It's Eye Man's turn.
I saw him closing his eyes tightly, and this time he was tapping very decisively.
It seems he has indeed gained confidence.
Confidence in your own luck.
"Snapped!"
Also hits the air.
The man with glasses glanced at Chen Xuan slightly provocatively.
In response, Chen just sneered lightly, picked up the revolver again, and fired without hesitation.
"Snapped."
Still empty sound.
The pressure suddenly shifted to the man with glasses again.
As the number of rounds increases, the pressure also increases simultaneously.
The man with glasses gritted his teeth and then decisively pressed the trigger.
Returned to Chen Xuan again on a bye.
Everyone there held their breath most of the time.
Deafening cheers only erupted after both sides pulled the trigger.
He seemed extremely excited.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth round, and the winner was still undecided.
Luck seemed to be good on both sides.
Chen Xuan took the pistol and fired the fourth shot decisively.
"Snapped…"
When the sound of idling appeared, some people jumped in disappointment, while others couldn't help but cheer.
The man with glasses was already sweating.
The confidence that the victory in the last game gave him did not last until now.
Luck is an elusive thing.
Many people say that luck can be explained by probability.
But to put it another way, for a person who is lucky, even the odds are on his side.
The man with glasses swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
I hesitated for several minutes before finally pulling the trigger.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Vaino, who was watching from the sidelines, popped the Birdie Vodka bottle into his mouth and watched intently the whole time.
Even Zoya, who seems a bit aloof on the surface, is no exception.
The mood can't help but change with the changes in the situation on the field.
Using human life as a bet is always the most attractive.
Turning his eyes back to Chen Xuan, the man with glasses laughed maniacally.
It's not unusual for him to make a gaffe like this in such a pressure match.
Chen Xuan remained calm and his hands did not even shake.
It was up to him to look at the fifth shot, which was also the deciding game.
Life and death are 50/50.
In normal games, few people can get to this point.
If both sides still get no shots, it will be a tie and there will be another round.
Next time, two equal rounds of bullets will be loaded into each person's revolver.
"Snapped!"
There was an empty sound, and the bespectacled man's expression changed instantly.
Picking up the revolver on the table again, he actually had the illusion that disaster was imminent.
"call…"
He raised his head to look at Chen Xuan and found that he had his arms crossed and an expression of interest on his face.
That contempt or contempt comes from the heart.
This look irritated the man with glasses.
“Luck is on my side!!”
he yelled, then pulled the trigger.
The bright gun flame lit up, instantly making his head explode.
Chen Xuan smiled.
"It seems you guessed wrong."
"Luck is on my side."
"No fun, let's go."
As he spoke, the chips in front of the table flew up.
He threw the gold brick to Vaino again.
Then Shi Shiran left, and everyone picked up the chips on the ground.
He was the first guy to win a bet without asking for money!
Chen Xuan didn’t cheat, it was 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 falling from the sky.
This alone is enough to explain his luck.
After leaving the "Dream" bar, Chen Xuan was keenly aware of several more peeping glances around him, coming from the commanding heights on both sides.
Probably not from the Kremlin.
It's possible that the movement just now attracted the attention of the gang belonging to the black market.
Chen Xuan turned a blind eye to this, as long as he didn't disturb his fun.
He has already experienced the big hairy roulette wheel.
Next it’s time to look at the legendary darknet auctions.
Once upon a time, the dark web once occupied a hot spot in Daxia Yanlong’s street stall literature and online self-media.
The dark web is actually not that complicated.
It's the equivalent of a ghost market on the Internet.
