Lord of Eternal Darkness

"I just experienced what it feels like to be a rich person, and I suddenly became a poor person again. Is it possible that I need to exchange points again? Bai Yeqiu, that bastard, stopped giving out the promised bonus. He said that the money in the bureau has been tight recently, and he has to get there. It’s next month and it may not be released yet.”

He thought about how he should use the money to survive the rest of his life.

"How about walking over? Just think of it as a workout."

Li Xiaoming nodded, suddenly feeling that the road was not that far away.

Just then, a car next to him stopped. "Hey, isn't this our classmate Li Xiaoming? It's such a coincidence that we meet again."

Li Xiaoming felt the voice was familiar and couldn't remember the other person for a while.

When the windshield of the car lowered, I saw the other person's face clearly, and his face showed joy.

He was wearing a pair of glasses, holding a pot lid on his head, stepping on the accelerator, wearing a ring on his hand, holding on to the steering wheel, and his eyes revealed a kind of chicness and confidence. He was none other than Jiang Jinghong.

After not seeing him for many days, he still felt like he had encountered that image in the dormitory area.

Li Xiaoming nodded, "What a coincidence, senior, thank you for your help last time."

"Nothing, you're welcome, why are you wandering outside alone?"

Li Xiaoming replied: "I went out to do some errands and am about to return to school. By the way, senior, have you been to the school shooting range? What do you know about it?"

"Of course I understand. The reason I came out this time is to purchase daily necessities for the staff there. You also know that we diviners, like dreamers, have almost no fighting power, so we need some external objects to defend ourselves. Oh, my junior is preparing to participate in the Bronze The trial of the ancient gate?"

Li Xiaoming nodded.

"As you said, I don't have much combat ability, but I can't miss this opportunity, so I want to train my firearms skills."

"That's great. Let's get together. I'm a fortune teller who can turn bad luck into good luck and predict the future. Although it may not be accurate, the more people you have, the more likely you are to be sure."

Li Xiaoming asked curiously: "Okay, I don't know much about the diviner profession. Can you predict what will happen in the Ancient Bronze Gate in a few days?"

Jiang Jinghong shook his head, "No, that door has the ability to shield the secrets of heaven. Almost all the fortune tellers in this city-state wanted to find out, but they didn't get any response. I heard that some people even went crazy for such a dangerous move. , and no one will try it again.”

There is a price to pay for spying on the future and changing one's destiny against the will of the gods. Especially for professions that learn more about the unknown, the hidden risks are the highest among all professions, and they often attract the attention of some unspeakable being.

Even if it is not discovered, intervention in some major events will have a backlash on itself.

Therefore, the life of a diviner is almost very short, because the special ability is ranked in the top nine, and the number itself is extremely rare. Even if he survives, his destiny is short, and everything is not perfect, it has its own destiny.

Permanently single, poor, disabled, unlucky, mentally ill... you will always get one of them over time.

Jiang Jinghong said: "Come on, we are destined to meet each other today. Let me make a fortune for you."

"Do I need to state my birth date?" Li Xiaoming said with some embarrassment.

After all, his own identity is there, hiding many secrets. If he lies about the information, it may not be accurate. More importantly, there are some evil spells. It is very dangerous to cast a curse based on personal information.

He said quite confidently: "No, you are a noble person. I can tell at a glance that I will lose my life if I tell fortunes for such a noble person like you. Just tell me one thing about your expectations for the future, and everything will turn into bad luck." Ji, it’s easy to find a marriage or something.”

Li Xiaoming thought for a while. Since the fate of the ancient bronze door cannot be pryed into, it can be regarded as an advance trial. The hidden rat problem in the door in the basement needs to be solved.

"Senior, what I want to count is the rat in the wall." Li Xiaoming said seriously.

He nodded, "Oh? Then let me help you with the math using word puzzles. With the word wall as the center, it can be divided into slanting soil and upper soil. When the two soils are combined, it will be gold. Destiny will not have many twists and turns. The word "hui" will be There is a mouth. Even though you are trapped, there must be an exit and an entrance, which means there will be no disaster or disaster!"

"Thank you, senior, for your answer."

"What's going on? It's just a casual calculation. It doesn't mean anything. I don't know if it's accurate. Speaking of which, a rat in the wall means there will be unrest. What are you going to do?"

Li Xiaoming smiled: "Hire a professional rodent control company to pick a good and auspicious day to kill the mice."

"Oh, rats really need to be eliminated. The plague killed many people that year. Personal hygiene must be taken care of. Don't you want to go to the shooting range? Get in the car quickly and I will take you there."

"Then thank you, senior."

Li Xiaoming got into the car and soon arrived at the training range.

Guns are prohibited in Titan City, but some non-official personnel can apply directly. As Li Xiaoming, he can apply for a gun for self-defense. There is no problem. After all, he is just an ordinary dreamer.

Because of the recommendation from an acquaintance, it is easier to apply for a membership card. If you have free time, you can come here to shoot for free, but bullets are charged.

Before touching a firearm at this time, you must use a combined facial recognition system to connect your face to the public security control network to prevent criminal gangs from causing sabotage, and you must also sign a liability exemption contract.

Jiang Jinghong said: "Good friend, I have some things to do next. If you want to practice shooting, you can find the security officer next to you. He is a hunter, so you should know his skills."

"Okay, I'll go find a pistol first and try it out." Li Xiaoming nodded and said goodbye to the other party.

Taking over a pistol from a professional and wearing noise-reducing headphones can effectively protect the shooter's hearing, reduce damage in a small and enclosed space, improve concentration, and prevent the impact of gunfire.

At the same time, you must wear goggles to prevent sudden flashes of light and flying shrapnel.

The security guard with a stern face next to him walked over, wearing a dark green plaid shirt, looking dashing and handsome.

"Hello, I am Aquino Celi. I am your security officer and will provide you with one-on-one coaching."

"Hello, my name is Li Xiaoming." When you see the other party greeting you proactively, you should give some reaction.

Selly asked: "It seems like this is your first time at the shooting range. Have you ever touched a gun?"

Li Xiaoming took off his earphones and said, "I've done this before, but I've never shot anyone. Most of them rely on sneak attacks to win, so I came here to get systematic training."

"Oh, have you ever touched a gun? That's a little easier. I'm not a newbie. Let's go there and fire a few shots. I'll take a look at your movements and your shooting accuracy first, and then I'll give you some guidance. ."

Li Xiaoming checked the equipment on his body. He looked at the structure of the pistol. It was an old civilian brand, Falcon 23K, a retired version of the military. It was an antique from more than a thousand years ago. Unexpectedly, it was copied.

The advantages are accurate shooting, low sound, and undeniable short-range melee capabilities. The disadvantage is that because the bullets are rarely adapted, the damage is not high. Most of them pass through the body and do not explode.

Then take out the brass-colored bullet from the box and carefully insert it into the bullet nest.

Li Xiaoming straightened his back, his feet shoulder-width apart, and his toes spread naturally.

Exhaling gently, hold the handle with your thumb and fingers and straighten your thumb naturally. The first section of your index finger rests on the trigger. Hold your gun tightly to prevent it from accidentally falling off.

Through the depression on the back of the gun, staring at the white bullseye ahead, the vision gradually became clear from blur. It is not easy to hit a target a hundred meters away in a windless environment, let alone in a real battle. The enemy is always on the move, and the timing of your shot is always the most important.

The index finger pulled the trigger and slowly moved back to prevent the muzzle from shaking violently. He stabilized his breath, and with the hint of mental calmness, the moment was determined by three o'clock and one line.

There was a "bang" gunshot.

It seemed that the first shot didn't feel good, so he fired two more shots. His arm shook slightly and his body leaned back slightly.

"Boom! Boom!"

Li Xiaoming's hand holding the gun slowly lowered. In order to prevent accidental misfire, he took out the remaining bullets in the gun in advance and placed them in the box.

Aquino Seri looked into the distance. As an extraordinary person, he could see the flapping wings of a fly from a thousand meters away. For him, this distance was not a challenge at all, compared to Dabai who looked at the girl. The legs are easy.

He gave a good evaluation, "It's very good. The first two shots were only seven rings, but the third shot was nine rings, but it was a bit too slow. One minute has passed since you fired."

Li Xiaoming lowered his head and said, "I haven't touched a gun for a long time, so I need some mental preparation."

"You don't talk about this on the battlefield. When you run out of bullets, you just pick up the enemy's gun and use it. At that time, you don't have anything to think about. You have to fire at least three guns in one second, trying to always be one step ahead of the opponent. "

"Okay...I understand."

Selly said with a smile: "I'm not targeting you. After all, your movements are really standard. I feel like you have learned them before. Have you ever been a soldier?"

"No, I'm just interested. Life was not easy in the past, and I always needed a few guns for self-defense."

"Are you coming from the City of Innocence?" the security guard showed an incredulous expression.

It seems that in his subconscious mind, only the City of Innocence, a ghostly place with mixed fish and dragons, will have gun battles every day. He needs to use a gun to protect himself. He is also eyeing Titan City, ready to plunder resources at any time, and even plans to rob some technological achievements. .

Li Xiaoming frowned, "Well, I don't think the joke about Guilty Sincerity is funny."

"Haha, I'm sorry. Judging from your temperament, little brother, you should be from the City of Order. People in Titan City are mostly happy. People in the City of Innocence always have a desire in their eyes. In the City of Order, it's... A sense of tranquility.”

"Wow, you can see this, it's really amazing."

"Of course, after traveling all over the country for so many years, these three areas are close to each other. I used to be a bodyguard on the list, but later I was injured and quit. The millionaires and multi-millionaires I once protected have two hands. Too many to count.”

"What a legendary man, I really wish I could be as majestic as you were when you were young." Li Xiaoming pretended to be amazed and said, getting closer to him.

"Haha, blah blah blah. I'm still in class now. Let me tell you a few key points about firearms. First of all, you have to find a gun that suits you. If you love it the first time you feel it, you can't put it down. That means you have chosen the right gun. ”

"Why? Can it improve the feel?" Li Xiaoming asked slightly puzzled.

"No, this will make your death happier." Safety officer Seli replied coldly.

"Okay, keep talking."

"Secondly, I won't go into details about the essentials of the movements. You can master them yourself. Good gunners are fed by bullets. They say they need to practice more. Although they are not as good as those with specialized talents, they can at least keep up with them. "

He suddenly said: "Do you know what your biggest problem was just now? It was because you were too calm.

"You can't control the timing of firing. You are always hesitating and worried about whether you will miss the target. If you don't get good results, there is no need at all. You have to know that in a war, 100,000 bullets can kill 10 people."

Li Xiaoming pouted, "You're right, shooting randomly can also achieve good results."

Aquino Seri said: "I don't mean that. When you are at close range, rapid shooting is really useful. After all, you are playing with a pistol, not a sniper rifle.

"The distance is too close, and it is not even as useful as a knife. If you are asked to hit a moving target, your score may even be only 3 points. This is still the best estimate."
