Macaulay walked to him and pulled out the pistol he was wearing. He pointed a gun at Lin Rui's head and said, "We are almost at our destination. But at this time, someone broke the rules and talked in private.
I think I have to do something to let everyone understand what the rules are. And what will happen to those who break the rules? "
Macaulay coldly opened the safety of the pistol. In fact, when Lin Rui was hit in the knee by him and pretended to fall to the ground, he had secretly hidden a toothpick in his hand.
But it was just a toothpick. He was not stupid enough to use a thin toothpick to fight back against the person who pointed the gun at him. Looking at Macaulay's eyes, Lin Rui knew that he was once again standing on the edge of life and death.
This Macaulay has already been murderous and wants to use himself to scare the monkeys and scare all the crew members on the ship.
Thinking about it, his choice is normal. Macaulay needs those crew members to drive the ship, but he does not need himself as a cook. Killing the captain is likely to cause a backlash from the crew, but killing a cook to establish prestige is indeed a good choice.
Lin Rui knew that he had only two choices now, either to launch a sudden attack when Macaulay was unprepared, seize the gun in his hand, and hold Macaulay hostage.
Or you have to sit on the ground and wait for Macaulay to shoot and smash his head.
?Obviously the latter choice cannot be called a choice, it can only be said to be waiting to die. With the current distance between Macaulay and Lin Rui, it is not impossible for Lin Rui to fight back before Macaulay shoots and seize his gun.
But in this case, all the carefully prepared layouts will be disrupted. They were exposed in advance before the ship reached its destination. This is a very bad choice, but a last resort.
Lin Rui had to do this in order not to lose his mind. While he huddled up in a ball in pretending to be frightened, he secretly pinched the toothpick in his hand.
The distance between Lin Rui and Macaulay is only more than one meter. He deliberately curled up his body in order to prepare to push on the ground and get closer to Macaulay in the shortest time.
Just when Lin Rui made all preparations and planned to make a desperate move. Crystal suddenly spoke, "Don't kill him."
"Huh? Did you hear that? This lady asked me not to kill him. But this lady obviously forgot her own situation." Macaulay laughed unbridled and said, "Tell me, lady, what qualifications do you have?" Order me?"
"I'm not ordering you, but consulting with you. You can rob this ship, including all the cargo on board. But please don't hurt anyone.
¡°And I guarantee that afterward, our boss is willing to pay a ransom for everyone on board. Every sailor or guard on the ship, even the cook. Crystal shook her head and said, "What's the point of killing a chef?" But if you keep him, you might be able to make a small fortune. "
"Do you think we're just doing it for money?" Macaulay snapped.
"You are pirates, aren't you? Pirates are always about money, aren't they? Pirates in Somali waters often rob ships, kidnap crew members, and demand huge ransoms. But in fact they rarely kill people." Crystal shook his head. "Unless you're not a pirate, you won't have trouble with money."
Macaulay frowned, but still did not put down the gun in his hand.
Captain Schalke said, "If you are really pirates from Somalia, you should know the rules of pirates. You only want money and no life. It is precisely because we know this that we surrendered before.
"But if you shoot and kill people now, we will think you are not keeping your word." In this case, every crew member will feel nervous because they will know that their lives are not guaranteed.
You should know that when a person is in extreme panic, his emotions can easily explode and he is likely to do some unimaginable things, including things he would not normally dare to do.
It¡¯s easy for you to shoot and kill a person, but if this is the case, I have no way to ensure that my crew can calmly listen to my orders. "
"How dare you threaten me? Believe it or not, I will kill this person in front of you right now." Macaulay held a pistol in his hand and pointed at Lin Rui's head.
"I'm not threatening you, I'm telling you the actual situation. Once you kill this person, everyone will feel that there is no guarantee. They will no longer stay on the ship and wait for death. They will try every means to survive.
The crew members are still emotionally calm now, that¡¯s because they believe in me. I told them that as long as they cooperate with you, everyone can go home safely.
"If you shoot and ruin this, go toI can't control the situation at this time. Don't forget that you still need these crew members. We haven't reached our destination yet. Captain Schalk said calmly.
Macaulay was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his attempt to kill someone and establish his power would cause such a big backlash. But now he is a bit stuck. He has just said that he wants to punish those who do not follow the rules. He cannot take it back in the blink of an eye.
Not only is it very shameful to do so, but it is also difficult to convince your brothers. So Macaulay held the pistol and didn't know whether he should shoot or not.
If you shoot, you can save your own face and take the opportunity to intimidate these crew members. But it may also lead to intensification of conflicts on the ship, and these crew members rebel.
But if you don¡¯t shoot, then pulling out the gun and then pulling it back without killing anyone will appear even less convincing.
Macaulay rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed, "According to the rules, I have to shoot this man. But the captain is right, we are just pirates asking for money. There is no need to kill one more person.
In this case, we will flip a coin to decide whether this person lives or lives. He took out a coin from his pocket and said, "If the pattern on the coin is facing up, I will kill this person." If the pattern is facing down, I let him go. Let the coin decide this person's fate, it is fair and reasonable. "
Macaulay tossed the coin high, and everyone's eyes followed the coin upwards, and then followed the coin to the ground.
This is actually an excellent opportunity. While everyone's attention is on this coin, Lin Rui has at least one second, and this time is enough for him.
¡°He was able to jump up in one second, grab the gun from McCauley¡¯s hand, and then hold McCauley hostage. He believed he could do it, and Crystal standing in the crowd also believed he could do it.
But if you do this, the entire plan will change, and no one knows what the subsequent results will be.
