For a moment, Naoki thought, could there be some important person on this plane, and they are going to assassinate him.
Or perhaps some priceless treasure was secretly checked in on the plane and the news leaked out.
Soon, another flight attendant with particularly thick eyebrows came over from the front. However, the two gangsters did not take any action.
"Okay, our captain and co-pilot have it under control. Xxx and Xxx are keeping an eye on him. We can begin now."
Naoki:……
It was an internal traitor who took control of the entire plane in less than five minutes. It was obviously a premeditated plan.
If the captain was also controlled, then even if their situation was reported to the tower and they were unable to make an emergency landing, their chances of survival would depend entirely on this group of criminals.
Because, at this altitude of 10,000 meters, there is no way to rescue them.
After realizing this, all the passengers became terrified, and some even trembled with nervousness, feeling that their lives were in danger.
Some people began to seize the last time to write suicide notes, while others began to record their last words and wills on their mobile phones.
The thick-browed flight attendant clapped her hands and said, "Alright, everyone, don't be so scared. Let me introduce myself first. We are from the Hades Cult."
"I did this today just to play games with everyone like usual."
After hearing the other party's speech, many people showed fear on their faces, obviously knowing some of the reputation of this so-called Hades sect.
Sakura explained to Naoki in a low voice.
It turns out that this sect is a complete terrorist organization.
In a world where gambling is the default rule, there are always people who are not satisfied with ordinary gambling. Just like Shimamo, gambling cannot satisfy them.
This sect, named after Hades, the god of the underworld, is a terrorist organization that forces others to gamble their lives with them.
Moreover, the loser's death is often particularly tragic, with either his limbs chopped off or his internal organs dug out.
They roamed around in various countries, and although a few members had been captured, they had never been completely eradicated.
Although governments around the world are looking for them, no one knows what forces are supporting them, where their bosses and headquarters are, and they have not been completely wiped out.
A fat man in the back seat was so frightened when he heard the other party's name that he almost gasped for breath. He lowered his voice, his expression still extremely terrified: "It's over, it's over. Now I hope I'm facing a terrorist who bombed the plane. At least I can get a quick death."
Naoki clenched his fists.
Although the potions in the devil's shop can enhance her abilities for a short time, the captain is now under control. Even if she can deal with the bandits in front of her, if the rest fight with them and kill the captain in the cockpit, all the crew members will be killed.
These people are terrorists, and it's not surprising that they do anything.
It would be too optimistic to expect that they would do so because they were afraid of death.
The thick-browed flight attendant chuckled, seemingly pleased with the fear on everyone's faces. "I told you, there's no need to be so scared. We're just a bunch of lonely people who can't find anyone to risk their lives with."
……
"Sakura, since this organization likes to gamble with people's lives, then their members should be replaced frequently."
Zhixi felt something was wrong.
Sakura nodded slightly. "But judging from every incident that's been reported, they always win and the victims lose."
A fair gambling game should have a 50-50 chance of winning. There is only one reason for such a high chance of winning, unless it is someone as talented as Shima Wang.
They must have cheated.
Naoki thought that she probably understood the spiritual pursuits of this group of people.
Gambling is a way of controlling the lives of others, glorifying one's own violent behavior, and achieving a sense of accomplishment. So-called gambling is nothing more than a way to rationally vent one's perverted desires.
"I promise we are trustworthy. Although your lives are in our hands, as long as you beat us in the bet, I promise to spare your lives."
The thick-browed flight attendant asked someone to place a gambling table in the food preparation area and prepare the gambling equipment.
It was dangerous to listen to the enemy, but they had no other choice at the moment.
Someone brave enough asked: "What happens if we lose?"
The man smiled and said, "There's no other way to die at this altitude. If you lose, just jump out of the plane."
This way of dying sounds quite pleasant, but it's not very beautiful either.
The man continued, "If you lose, will you jump down obediently?"
"Well, don't forget, your lives are in our hands. If you win the bet, you'll only get your own life back."
Sure enough, there was no way this group of people would put themselves in danger so easily.
Otherwise, with so many people playing repeated bets, even if the winning rate is low, they will be crushed.
"However, I can make it easier for you. Many of you boarded the plane with friends and family, right? If you're confident you're good at gambling, you can play another round with us and win back your loved ones' lives as well."
"But as a bet, if you lose the second game, you will all die."
A smile twisted with excitement appeared on the face of the thick-browed flight attendant: "Come on quickly, we have ten hours."
For a moment, no one dared to move.
The thick-browed flight attendant waved her hand, and one of her men immediately grabbed a passenger from the first row.
"Choose now, do you want to gamble, or let us throw you out of the plane right now."
The man was so frightened that he could not even cry, and trembled all over: "I bet, I bet..."
If you take a gamble, at least you still have a chance. If you are thrown down directly, you will die.
The passenger was taken to the food preparation area. Not long after, the display screen at the front of the cabin showed the scene on the gambling table. All passengers could see it. It was obviously done by that group of people.
……
The flight attendant with thick eyebrows asked his men to set up the cameras and prepare for live broadcast, of course, in the secret live broadcast room organized by them.
He hadn't planned the hijacking just for the thrill of it, of course. After two years in Hades, he was considered a minor figure.
If he wants to be promoted, he has to take on bigger cases, and this desperate gamble at an altitude of 10,000 meters is the report card he carefully planned to submit.
To join their organization, one must play a life-or-death game and win, and the same applies to promotion.
The most important factor affecting the rating of a game is the number of players.
The more people who win the bet, the higher the score.
The second thing is the design of the gambling game and the beauty of the process.
In most cases, they could only kidnap a few people.
However, if you want to get promoted, doing small cases like that won't work.
So, after careful consideration, he decided to take this life-and-death gamble at an altitude of 10,000 meters where there was absolutely no possibility of being rescued.
There will be no interference here, and there are hundreds of players.
If he really succeeded, he would be the first person in the organization to accomplish this great feat, which would be recorded in the history of the entire Hades sect and even known to the whole world.
Because of this, if a hijacking were to go astray in the slightest, they might even get killed, so he would still give it a try.
……
He looked at the passenger sitting at the gambling table with his hands shaking with fear and sneered in his heart.
When faced with such a situation, even the most skilled gambling expert would inevitably panic.
When it comes to gambling, once you lose your composure, you lose your judgment and skills.
In this world, most people may gamble, but few have the experience of gambling with their lives.
Stuff of this level is just there to serve him.
"The game is simple, Seven Card Stud. Each player has ten chips, one chip for entry, and a minimum raise of one chip. The game ends when either player loses all their chips."
The flight attendant with thick eyebrows picked up the poker in her hand and showed it: "In case someone really doesn't know the rules, let me explain it first."
"Now we're going to play Seven Card Stud High. This game only uses playing cards with a value of 8 or higher, that is, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A, a total of 28 playing cards."
"At the beginning, each player is dealt three cards, one up and two down. Then, they take turns dealing three up cards. At this point, you can start raising. Finally, a down card is dealt. The seven cards in your hand are combined to form the largest five-card hand. The card sizes are the same as in Texas Hold'em: straight flush, four of a kind, full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, one pair, and scatter."
The rules of the game are simple and clear.
After the flight attendant finished explaining the rules, the passenger still hadn't calmed down and was still in fear.
However, no matter whether he has adapted or not, the gambling must begin.
The passenger was dealt a J and two hidden cards at the beginning, while the flight attendant with thick eyebrows was dealt a 9 and two hidden cards.
Passenger No. 1 chooses whether to add more.
Obviously, this passenger was forced to sit at the gambling table, so his strategy was quite conservative and he just shook his head.
Unfortunately, the opponent won't let it go so easily.
"Add one more bet."
Even though his open card is smaller than his opponent's, Anthony Davis is still confident enough to raise the bet directly.
The passenger was immediately in a dilemma. If he didn't follow the bet, he would lose a chip which was his entrance fee. It was too early to give up before even five cards were dealt.
"Follow."
The passenger tremblingly took out a chip.
The second exposed card was a K for the passenger and a Q for the flight attendant.
There are currently no pairs of cards, and there is no possibility of a flush.
"Raise, one!"
Anthony Davis chose to add another one without hesitation.
After hesitating for a longer time, the passenger chose to follow the bet.
The third card, the passenger has a J, and the thick eyebrow flight attendant has an 8.
The passenger showed a pair of Js, while the thick-browed flight attendant had two unknowns and 8, 9, and Q.
The passenger's expression suddenly brightened. This time, he took the initiative to raise the stakes, while the other party...
"The essence of Stud Poker is to go all-in!"
The thick-browed flight attendant laughed wildly and put all the remaining chips on the table.
The passenger immediately became discouraged. There were still two cards left to be dealt. If he followed, and the opponent could turn the tables later, he would be eliminated.
And you don't know whether the opponent has a big pair in his first two hidden cards.
Now that I have only bet 3 chips, I can still give up rationally.
But, can he really make a rational choice in his panic?
After getting a pair, he immediately goes all-in. This situation does not seem like he has good cards, otherwise he should only call one card and continue betting.
This situation will scare yourself instead.
So, it was definitely a bluff.
"I call!"
Amidst everyone's exclamations, Passenger No. 1 chose to follow the bet.
The fourth card, the passenger had an A, and the thick-browed flight attendant had a 9. The opponent's open card showed a pair, but it was smaller than the passenger's pair of Js.
The last card is the dark card.
Since all-in has been placed, both parties automatically combine and open their cards.
The passenger nervously played his hand: "I have three jacks!"
His hand consists of two hidden cards, 10 and 8, followed by three open cards, J, K, J, A, and the last hidden card is also J, which luckily makes three Js.
And what about the thick eyebrow flight attendant?
With a smile of control on his face, he showed his cards.
His initial hand is two hidden cards 10, J, followed by three exposed cards 9, Q, 8, 9, and the last card is A.
It is a straight of 8, 9, 10, J, Q.
A straight is greater than three of a kind, so the passenger loses.
Naoki frowned as he watched. In Seven Card Stud, there are seven cards that can be combined, and the limit is to use only seven cards above 8, so the smallest card is a pair.
The reduction in the number of cards greatly increases the probability of making a big hand.
