Conan: I’m really not Tokyo Monster Story

Wasn't it just that when I took the pistol for simulated shooting earlier, I was blindly confident and lost face in front of the opponent? As for what I remember until now?

Sano secretly pouted.

But Sano himself knew in his heart that it was reasonable for the other party to have such doubts, because... he really didn't know how to snipe.

Even before coming to this underground training ground, Sano had never even touched a sniper rifle.

But if it had been three hours ago, Sano might have been very self-aware and retracted, but now?

Of course you are just pretending!

The sniper equipment you just obtained, why should you not show it to your colleagues?

Without any unnecessary nonsense, Sano directly extended his hand to Cohen: "Borrow me the gun."

Looking at Sano's open hand, Cohen obviously hesitated for a few seconds before handing over the gun.

...For a sniper, it is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable thing to hand over a long-used sidearm to others.

Especially since everyone’s usage habits are different, you may have to make some adjustments after getting it back, which is really troublesome.

Of course, Sano didn't know these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care, because he borrowed the gun from the honest man Cohen because he took into account the fact that he was easier to talk to than Chianti.

Honest people are best bullied, just like vodka.

Sano walked to the projector and operated it, then quickly entered the simulation test of sniper training.

In terms of distance, Sano chose the 600-yard distance used to snipe the duo just now, and the scene was chosen at random.

Soon, a violent storm began to blow in the underground training ground.

...It’s actually real wind and rain?

Sano was a little surprised and wiped the water droplets blown by the wind on his face, and looked thoughtfully at the walls and...ceiling of the basement.

Let’s just say it’s the ceiling, right?

This is the first time Sano knows that the simulated training at this training ground can be operated like this. He has only been playing with projection before.

"I actually chose such an environment mode."

Chianti muttered.

As for the influencing factors of a sniper's hit rate, there are only four factors: personal skill, distance, environment, and target status.

Putting aside personal skills, what Sano was currently doing was static shooting. The target status had no effect, and there was nothing to say about the distance. However, this environment alone was really too harsh.

For example, Chianti and Cohen, with their skills, the maximum distance that can guarantee the hit rate under static shooting is 600 yards.

And if it were in such an environment, it might only be 550 yards, or even less.

In other words, under such conditions, even Chianti and Cohen cannot guarantee to hit the target, let alone...

Sano's technical level can be considered unknown.

"This gun is a Remington 700 rifle with a six-round box magazine. The total length is 1.092. It uses 7.62 mm × 51 mm M118 special bullets. The muzzle velocity is about 792 meters per second. , the effective range is 800 meters.”

Sano turned to look at Cohen who seemed to be giving him some information. He was stunned for a few seconds and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Then... Sano took out his sniper sunglasses and put them on.

The moment he put on the sunglasses, the world in Sano's eyes seemed to dim.

...This is not because of the dimming of the light caused by the sunglasses, nor is it right. Although it is indeed due to the sunglasses, it is completely different from the degree of ordinary sunglasses.

Could this be...a state of blindness?

Sano turned his eyes, trying to find out what was the difference between this state and his normal vision.

Then Sano realized that he couldn't seem to see clearly the faces of Gin and the others standing nearby.

...It's like they all put on passerby hats and turned into faceless men.

That's not right. Strictly speaking, it's not that the face can't be seen clearly, but that apart from an outline, all other details can't be seen clearly.

If I have to go into detail, it's like... after the shooting simulation test, there was only a shadow of the outline of the human body that emerged in the end report.

That is to say, the four people have different body shapes and clothes, otherwise Sano might not be able to tell who is who among the four.

And when Sano looked at "things" other than "people", it was a similar situation, and he could only see an outline clearly.

To sum up, it looks like a setting of 800 degrees of severe myopia, and then add astigmatism?

And during the few seconds that Sano was thinking, when they saw Sano suddenly taking out a pair of sunglasses, Gin and the others could not help but have question marks slowly appearing on their faces.

Especially vodka.

...Didn’t I just ask myself in the afternoon whether wearing sunglasses all day would affect my vision? Why did I put them on in the blink of an eye, during sniper training?

The environmental impact is already big enough, wouldn’t it make it more difficult for yourself to wear sunglasses?

Could it be that Sano asked about his own experience just because he wanted to wear it, and planned to refer to it?

...Then if Sano fails to hit the target later, will he attribute the fault to these sunglasses and then affect himself?

Vodka fell into silence and quietly moved his footsteps towards Gin.

After Sanozai looked back thoughtfully, he raised Cohen's Remington 700 rifle, stood upright, held the front end with his left hand, and looked through the sniper scope, while the sniper effect also began to take effect.

Surprisingly, when looking through the sniper scope, Sano's vision returned to normal, as if he had escaped from blindness.

...In other words, this high degree of myopia only affects close-range vision from non-sniper scope angles, which is a good thing.

In addition to this, from the perspective of the sniper scope, there is a red line that only Sano can see. It seems to be hundreds or thousands of meters extending from the muzzle, which is very conspicuous.

This is like infrared rays, but it is not straight. It has an obvious arc as the distance is lengthened, and as the "wind and rain" changes, this arc also changes from time to time.

This is what the sniper effect creates, simulating the trajectory of Sano's next bullet.

...Of course, it is definitely not more than a thousand meters in reality.

According to Cohen, the effective range of this gun is 800 meters. According to calculations, the simulated ballistic trajectory should be only three-quarters, 600 meters.

But it's enough.

Sano squinted his eyes, through black sunglasses and the magnification of the sniper scope, through hundreds of meters of wind and rain, and aimed at the blurry target figure.

Sano moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, causing the ballistic trajectory to hit the figure's head.

However, while Sano was holding his breath and concentrating, the four Gin and others on the side had already lost interest.

...Because even a layman like Vodka, who has not had much in-depth contact with sniping, can see that Sano's sniping action is unprofessional.

What sniper rifles pursue is distance and accuracy, and the recoil is not even the slightest bit worse than that of a pistol.

In addition, a slight error in the sniper's aim will turn into a slight difference as the distance is extended.

Therefore, in order to reduce the error as much as possible, snipers often choose to lie on the ground and use the ground for support. Even if this is not possible, they have to find something stable enough.

If Sano holds it with his hands like this, isn't that just a joke?

From Sano getting the gun, to putting on sunglasses, and then striking a pose, the whole process only took a little over ten seconds. Several people who had hesitant expectations for Sano's sniper skills suddenly became a little disappointed and speechless. .

"boom!"

With the sound of gunfire, Sano was pushed back subconsciously by the recoil, and this scene also made Gin and the others show expressions of "Sure enough."

ah.

Sano himself was also stunned for a moment.

...Forgot to exclude the effect of recoil.

In this case, I'm afraid even if I aim the ballistic trajectory at the target, I won't hit it.

Zuo Ye couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed for a moment. This wave of false pretenses also cost him another person, tsk...

But just when Sano himself, Gin and the others thought that the shot would definitely miss the target, the humanoid silhouette that appeared after the storm disappeared was startling... well, everyone except Sano was shocked.

"Hit, hit!?"

Vodka screamed in disbelief, making Chianti beside him couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"How can this be!?"

"Six hundred yards static shooting, one shot to kill, still in that environment, with that posture..."

Cohen muttered.

Hit?

After hearing the words of the three people, Sano also looked at the silhouette in surprise...but unfortunately he couldn't see anything clearly.

It's just that this shouldn't be the case. It obviously vibrates so much when shooting. How could it be...

Suddenly, Zuo Ye had a guess.

In fact, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible for a bullet to have an absolutely accurate trajectory.

Regardless of the environment, the performance and status of the firearm, as well as the sniper's preparation before aiming, they will have a certain impact on this so-called "ballistic", and the coefficient of this impact is difficult to calculate using data.

Otherwise, humans can use technological means to create a ballistic simulator with a similar effect to sniper sunglasses for snipers to use.

...Of course, it may indeed be possible, but the "ballistic" will most likely become wider and wider as the distance increases, making it of little practical use.

It's better to let the snipers rely on their own skills and the feel they have honed over the years.

Because Sano's sniper sunglasses are non-technological products, they will be more accurate in this regard, so much so that they can "predict the future".

However, in Sano's original conjecture, this "prediction" should take into account the performance of the firearm, the distance, and environmental factors.

Now it seems that in addition to this, Sano's skills, or his own condition, are also taken into account as reference factors?

To put it bluntly, the ballistic trajectory Sano saw just before he fired was actually the ballistic trajectory that should have occurred if he took a step back due to the recoil.

...If that were the case, wouldn't Sano be promoted to the world's top sniper instantly?

No, even if it is only compared to static shooting, then it is directly the strongest in the world, and it is still a lot stronger than the second place?

A heaven-defying artifact? Is this it?

Zuo Ye was full of surprise.

Of course, this is just speculation, and it will take a few more attempts.

"Cohen, try again."

As soon as Sano finished speaking, Gin was already in front of the projector.

After some operations, the ground under Sano suddenly began to rise, until it reached a height of more than ten meters, and tall buildings were projected around him.

...This is another new function that I have never seen before. It seems that my exploration of organizing equipment is not deep enough.

Zuo Ye murmured inwardly.

"Six hundred fifty yards static fire."

Gin reported the relevant information about this simulated sniper in a cold voice, but what he did not say was that he had specially chosen this environment.

Light, field of vision, wind speed, and weather are all optimal conditions for outdoor sniping.

This is a favorite standard used by snipers to compare their technical level. In other words, it is also the best way to test a sniper's specific technical level.

Sano raised his eyebrows and did not reply. He just pulled the gun bolt and continued to assume the same aiming posture as before.

...It was just Sano who was careless last time. Although the recoil of a sniper rifle is indeed greater than that of a pistol, he is blessed with a superhuman effect. If he is careful to control it, he will naturally not show any ugly behavior.

However, under the gazes of Gin and the other four, Sano failed to fire even after aiming for a long time, which immediately caused them to frown.

What's going on here?

Even if sniper aim takes time to prepare, it's true... But looking at Sano's posture, it doesn't look like he's preparing. Instead, he looks like... he's looking for something?

Up in the sky, Sano was indeed frantically looking for the target.

... Damn this thing, you only rely on the sniper scope to find it, and you can't even see where the target is.

Sano relied on the sniper scope to scan back and forth between the projected buildings, but found that finding dawn with this efficiency might not be possible.

But if you remove the sniper scope and search a large area with your eyes, you will see nothing but pitch black, and you can't find it.

In desperation, Sano pulled down his sniper sunglasses and prepared to search like reading glasses.

In this way, you shouldn’t be “blind” anymore, right?

...It's a pity that Sano is still blind because it seems that according to the system's judgment, he is still "wearing" the sunglasses.

In this regard, Sano could only go one step further and take off his sunglasses. Only then did he regain his normal field of vision. After quickly locking the general direction and location of the target, he put the sunglasses back on and successfully found the target with the sniper scope. Target figure.

Sano's actions also made the four people below frown even more.

If the other person's action of taking off his sunglasses was taken out separately, several people might still think that Sano was affected by the pair of sunglasses, so he planned to take them off and concentrate on doing his best. But if you add the previous "looking for something" ” behavior, and finally put the sunglasses back on.

A wonderful guess came out.

That is, Sano was indeed affected by the sunglasses, but this effect was greater than imagined... and outrageous.

A "top sniper" who can hit a target at a distance of 600 yards in a stormy environment can't even see the target clearly because of a pair of sunglasses? ?

Of course, this may not be more outrageous.

What’s even more outrageous is that since sunglasses have such a big impact, why does the other party have to wear them?

Regarding this question, the first reaction of Gin and others was almost all - just to show off.

On the other hand, I felt that such unprovoked "pretending" behavior was really unacceptable, so a deeper thought emerged, that is -

The reason why the other party "pretends" like this is because they are influenced by certain factors and engage in "imitation" behavior.

It's like the organization's rules and regulations have never stipulated that members must wear black clothes, but because the first members were all wearing black clothes, subsequent members also began to subconsciously imitate and follow the lead of their predecessors.

Especially for Gin, there was an example earlier such as "Sano turned into a bomb maniac after using the bomb himself", so he felt that this guess was correct.

...And let’s talk about who is the culprit for Sano’s current imitative behavior.

There seemed to be someone present.

Gin, Chianti and vodka all looked at Cohen subconsciously.

The honest man Cohen looked around, and suddenly touched his "sunglasses" with some embarrassment.

"Ahem, these are my goggles..."

...But the problem is that Sano doesn't know these are goggles.

Gin and Chianti didn't say anything more and looked away.

Only Vodka's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, gradually became a little weird.

Thinking of Sano asking about his sunglasses in the afternoon, Vodka suddenly came up with a suspicion that made his heart tremble - could he be responsible for this?

No way, no way, how could Sano imitate someone with such a low sense of presence like himself, haha...

Vodka laughed dryly in his heart and comforted himself, but after two seconds he silently took two steps away from Gin.

"boom!"

While Gin and the others were completing a wave of brainstorming, Sano on the lift platform had already pulled the trigger.

As the projection disappeared, the outline of the humanoid emerged, confirming that Sano had once again killed him with one shot during this simulated sniper attack.

"Amazing……"

Chianti gasped in admiration.

If Sano hit the target at a distance of 600 yards in a stormy environment before, Chianti might still be a little dissatisfied, but this time the opponent hit again under a perfect environment of 650 yards, she already recognized him.

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of static shooting, the opponent is undoubtedly a top sniper whose sniper skills are not inferior to his and Cohen's, and may even be slightly better!
