I wonder that too. The fact that he is talking a limited number of bullets remind me of the opera, with the last bullet being controlled by the Evil One. However, everything else about the character doesn't reflect this specific set of marksmen.

The original Freischütz seems to be a thing in ghost stories (the 7th bullet is controlled by the devil after all). This chapter is about ghosts/halluciforms/幻霊. It would make sense to have him there, as he seems to be the head-honcho of the bad guys.
