Chapter 47 - Boldly

Under the hum of the engine, Jack collapsed into a chair, breathing rapidly. Palms with an iron grip held kalashnikov, while widely spread legs relaxed "lay".

Dutch, leaning back in his chair, steered the boat with one hand, with the other he dropped the ashes from his cigarette – How do you like the experience?

Jack wearily shifted his gaze to the smiling Negro – It couldn't be better. This can only be seen in Hollywood movies, but to fully feel everything, you need to be in Ruanapur.

- Yes. Ruanapur is a paradise on earth. – Dutch was saying with a grin, exhaling smoke – By the way, I have to admit, your intuition is working. It's not for nothing that you couldn't find a place for yourself, as you can see. A useful chuyka.

He ignored the moment with the theft of stun guns, since this "borrowing" was for their benefit. – "Well, he guessed right with the flash-bangs, I hope he won't need a missile system today..."

Jack smiled weakly at the Negro and with his right hand pulled back the bolt of the captured machine gun. The cartridge with the damaged capsule flew out and fell with a characteristic ringing on the metal floor of the boat. - "Misfire. Right on the last cartridge..." – he stated – "I wonder if cartridges of this caliber are expensive?.. Although why should I? I'll only carry a gun with me anyway."

The fingers released the shutter, and it clanged into place. Hands slowly put the machine gun next to the chair and Jack, closing his eyes, leaned back in his chair – "Gunther? .."

Instantly, a clear–cut figure of a shaven man with a slight smirk appeared in his mind-"Yes?"

- "You're quiet for something..."

- "Did you really miss me?" – Mr. Mirror raised an eyebrow

- "Not really... It's just that at such moments you just can't shut up, and then silence."

– "Well, I don't always have to rant with you. Besides, the events around you are flowing pretty fast now and I don't want to get involved once again." – said O'Dim and spread his hands – "It can be compared to ... a movie. Let's say that events are unfolding so interestingly right now that I'm just watching with a smile, waiting for your next move."

Jack shook his head, "You're having fun, but I'm not... So many people died, and I did nothing to prevent it..."

Gunther's smile faded. The eyes flashed like diamonds, and then a voice sounded, discarding all cheerfulness – "Get used to it, Jack. You can't always save someone. Even with the Gods, things don't always go smoothly, what to say about you. If you don't harden yourself... If you don't stop worrying and worrying about such trifles, you will eventually break down and become only a shadow of your former self."

Jack's tired gaze filled with a furious flame – "A trifle!? Do you think it's nothing? Thirty and a dick people were stupidly shot because I didn't do shit!"

– "They were shot because that was their fate." – Gunther widened his eyes slightly–"Don't be stupid, Jack. Knowing the future doesn't oblige you to save other people's asses. You're not getting anything out of this. Moreover, you will only lose from this. You knew these mercenaries would show up. This knowledge was your strength. But if you somehow forced the visitors to leave, then this advantage would be lost, because the future has changed a lot, thanks to your efforts. Moreover, you could expose yourself and the Lagoon with such a change in the future. Relax."

Jack's fist clenched with a bang– "I'm not helping or saving others for the sake of profit, you could already understand... I'm not going to back down or choose between two of the evils."

Gunther grinned –"What a stubborn sheep you are, but I like this trait in you."

Jack ignored O'Dim's statement and looked resolutely at his hands–"If I become much stronger... if I become something more than just a person, I won't have to choose. Moreover, I will dictate the terms and conditions myself. You don't have to sacrifice anything to save someone's life..."

Mr. Mirror broke into a pleased and anticipatory grin – "Yes. So it is."

Jack's eyes rolled with interest – "Evil points are the fastest to earn through murder, tasks and..."

– "Debauchery." – Gunther finished for him–"That's right."

– "Why exactly debauchery?" – the guy squinted – "Why not pride or gluttony? Sins are full of so-and-so..."

Gunther scratched his chin in his mind–"...because I want to?"

"Do you want to watch me debauch? Seriously?" Jack grimaced with incomprehension

- "Of course!" – Mr. Mirror exclaimed with a grin – "Every immortal and all-encompassing entity for joy will watch how little men are given to lust. Isn't it obvious?"

The guy's face fell – "Seriously?"

- "Of course not, fool." – sighed O'Dim – "It's just much easier with debauchery. For example, "Pride". Just suffering from excessive pride, you will not have a passive income in the form of evil points, do you understand? In order to get evil points with the help of pride, for example, you have to go and call the disabled flawed. At the same time, you really have to think that way, otherwise it won't work out, you know?"

"That's it... I'm beginning to understand..."

- "Gluttony, anger, envy, greed and laziness are the same. Just a lot and delicious to eat will not work with gluttony. You will have to, in a fit of sincere desire, take food from others in order to enjoy the taste of viands. At the same time, you should be full at this moment."

"... then why didn't they give me evil points for beating Beatrice in a fit of anger?"

"To put it simply, it's because you had the right to do it. To put it even simpler, it's because you were just a victim..."

- "That's it, got it." – Jack grimaced – "And what about lust?"

Gunther smiled mischievously – "The more you indulge in excessive debauchery, the better."

- "For example?"

O'Dim spread his hands – "You will get Evil Points just for copulating with a woman who is not your wife, and there is an increase. Even for impregnating a woman, you will get evil points if you are not married to her."

Jack thought for a while and squinted – "It hurts everything is fine with lust ..."

– "As it is." – Mr. Mirror shrugged his shoulders

- "Wait... But I've already "made out" with Revie and somehow I haven't seen at least some increase in evil points."

A teasing grin appeared on Gunther's face – "Then everything did not happen quite by your will. Revie was in charge there. You were, consider yourself, a victim of sexual harassment, so there was nothing to count."

Jack winced as if he had eaten something nasty. He was about to say something in response, but then, suddenly, the hatch to the hold opened and Revie appeared from there- So, there's order, Dutch.

– Great. Hmm, everything is going well. At this rate, we'll be off Palawan Island by morning. Let's make a deal quickly and stop being targets for mercenaries.

– Sounds great. Benny said, "But it's better to keep your ears sharp.

"Calm down, Benny Boy. – Dutch smiled – There's no way to catch up with us. The only thing they can try to do is to set up an ambush, but you are our eyes and ears, which means they don't have a chance to corner us.

– I hope so.

"Don't worry so much, Benny. Revie said with a grin, climbing out of the hold. She came up to Jack and sat on his lap, almost poking her chest in his face – We have this nice guy and his intuition. Our Rambo's skills are also good, he shoots accurately and boldly, but we shouldn't be too surprised, because we all remember who his teacher is. – the girl finished with a grin, hugging "Rambo" by the neck and accidentally pressing her hard nipples to his chest

– You're just bursting with self-satisfaction. Only here, in my opinion, your contribution to his skills is very meager...

Revie's satisfied grin became more toothy – Benny, it's clear your head still doesn't cook after you "dived" into the table. Maybe I should try to put your convolutions in place? Of course I'll need the help of a nine-gauge...

– I'm silent, I'm silent! – Benny exclaimed with a laugh, to which the girl snorted and turned her gaze back to Jack – You look extremely tired.

– Because it is. – he smiled weakly in response

– I built a simple bed in the hold... – she squinted – ...we can go to rest.

Jack shook his head–I don't think that's fair to Dutch and Benny. They'll be up all night...

– Nothing kid, go get some rest. – Dutch grinned – Revie is our main combat unit and it would be better for her to have a good rest. And I'm sure if you're with her, she'll definitely get a good night's sleep.

Revie took her hand behind her back and gave the Negro a thumbs-up.

Jack noticed this gesture in the reflection of one of the mirrors and rolled his eyes–Good.

A wide, contented and toothy grin was on the girl's face.

Looking at that grin, Jack wanted to do one thing... and at the same time to test the theory.

His hands fell possessively on Revi's buttocks and squeezed several times.

- "Boldly." – Gunther said with an energetic smile – "So be it, I'll throw one point of evil, but you can not hope for such an easy earnings."

The girl immediately twitched from such attention, and then grinned and looked rapaciously at the owner of the hands – Ohoho, you're already starting to massage on... previously unexplored territories?

– I just took you comfortably to get up. – Jack smiled slightly, getting up from his chair with Revie in his arms – You're light...

– Is that, like, a compliment? – she was grinning

– It's a fact. – He sighed, putting the girl on the floor – I'm not going down to the hold with you, so... ladies first.

For show, Jack bowed and pointed with his hand at the hatch of the hold. Roar, demonstratively waved her ass, opened the hatch and quickly began to descend – Don't make me wait!

In response, Jack nodded, and when Revie disappeared from sight, he mentally gave the command – "Status."
