Chapter 57
The competition that Bai Jinyi said was not a simple one-on-one, she seemed to be extremely interested in the contest between soul tattoo warriors. In the inner courtyard www.biquge.info of the Bai family, a room called the Soul Fighting House was set up a long time ago, and in the early years, it was a special testing room for testing the abilities of the Soul Tattoo Warrior, and it gradually evolved into what it is today.
It is the honor of the soul tattoo to be able to enter the Soul Fighting Residence, at least in the Bai family, only the guards who are recognized by the family have such qualifications. The Bai family's selection of guards is also extremely strict, and a group of new people are usually replaced every five years, so no matter in terms of age or strength, the Bai family's guards can always remain in a very balanced state. There will not be a period of talent, and there will not be a period of succession.
"What is this doing?" Ji Zailu asked as he stood in the spacious Contra living room, staring at the props placed around.
Bai Jinyi changed into a snow-white fox fur jacket today, with a whole white fox skin around her neck, and she wore white high-heeled leather boots studded with pearls on her feet, and the tips of her shoes were on a white boundary on the ground. "Isn't Mr. Hu Yin good at using firearms? Yesterday I suddenly remembered that there was also a sharpshooter in the house, so I asked people to prepare a target for the shooting range. Our first competition of the day is better than this firearm shooting, how do you think? ”
"No problem." Even if Hu Yindang agrees to come down, when it comes to shooting, he has full self-confidence. Moreover, this kind of test method has a higher safety factor, and there is nothing more suitable than this.
The soul tattoo warrior sent by the Bai family was a fat man who was only tall on Hu Yin's shoulders, and Bai Jinyi called him Yu Xi. He bowed to Hu Yin very politely, but said: "You can choose the gun here, anyway, I will win in the end anyway." ”
Hu Yin didn't reply, but reached out and took out a silver revolver he was carrying, filled the bullet nest with bullets, and pressed the hammer with his thumb to tell Yu Xi that he was ready.
After getting Bai Jinyi's consent, Yu Xi also picked up a black pistol, and the two of them stood outside the white line at the same time, aiming at the black and white target.
Dongfang Tianma and Bai Yushi stood side by side, only to hear Bai Yushi muttering in a low voice: "It's miserable, it's miserable, this time Hu Yin is going to suffer." Xu Xi is the best gunner in our Bai family, once my sister held a shooting competition, inviting more than a dozen famous marksmen in the imperial capital, but in the end they were all defeated by Xu Xi. ”
Yin Ao was surprised on the side: "It's so powerful!" This is why the first game is so difficult, and how can the next two games be compared! ”
While several people were talking, Hu Yin and Yu Xi had already fired the first shot. The rules of the competition are that two people shoot three targets of 10 meters, 20 meters and 30 meters respectively, and each target is only allowed to shoot one shot, and hitting the bull's-eye is considered a success, otherwise it is regarded as a failure. If both hit the bull's-eye and tie, the opposite is a new one.
Both of them hit the bull's-eye beautifully with this first shot, and Dongfang Tianma and Yin Ao couldn't help but clap their hands and cheer.
In the second shot, the two of them still raised their hands without hesitation to shoot, and they hit the bull's-eye without the slightest deviation.
"Good! The next shot is the winner. Yin Ao and Dongfang Tianma rolled up their sleeves and raised their arms at the same time and shouted, they were even more emotional than the two on the field.
By the third shot, the atmosphere was obviously different from before, the distance of thirty meters had begun to be somewhat difficult, and the most important thing was the pressure of hitting the bull's-eye. Even the most confident sharpshooter is unlikely to have any mood swings before shooting, and a person with a strong heart is able to eliminate distractions through his own psychology and experience, and on the contrary, even the slightest disturbance can cause fatal consequences.
After the gunshots rang out, Yu Xi's bullet hit the bull's-eye, but on Hu Yin's target, the bullet hole was off. It turns out that this Xi Xi's soul pattern ability is to hit every shot, no matter how small the target is, as long as it is within the range, he can hit.
Yin Ao, who saw the results, showed disappointed eyes, although Hu Yin lost the competition, his mood did not go down, I saw him and Yu Xi take the initiative to shake hands, and said with a smile: "To be honest, your soul pattern ability really surprised me, being able to shoot without any impact is what every gunman dreams of." ”
Yu Xi also smiled and asked, "When did you first notice my abilities?" ”
"On the second shot, I felt your breathing a little short, but still didn't hesitate to shoot, and from that moment I knew that I had lost this fight."
At this time, Yin Ao on the side shouted: "Lai Pi! This can't be counted! How can you use your soul pattern ability to cheat! It's despicable. ”
Bai Jinyi raised his eyebrows, revealing a smile that penetrated into the bone marrow, "This is a duel between soul tattoo warriors, and it is normal to use soul pattern abilities. If you don't think it's fair, you can stop the contest at any time. ”
Ji Zailu hurriedly stopped Yin Ao, who was still arguing, and said to Bai Jinyi: "What are we going to compare next?" ”
Bai Jinyi had a smug look on his face, blinked his eyes and said: "Since I made the first competition, then let you decide the second one, don't let some people say anything unfair and complain." Her later words were obviously for Yin Ao.
Originally, Ji Zailu didn't have any ideas, but Bai Jinyi suddenly proposed to let him decide the content of the competition, and he immediately had an idea in his mind to win and not lose, so he said to Bai Jinyi: "Since the family speaks, how about we guess things on the partition in the second game?" ”
Bai Jinyi nodded and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
"I'll be on the side, and I'll stand with the guards at the door of the family on one side of the partition, and you'll be on the other side to place the same item. Whoever can guess what's behind the partition wins. ”
Bai Jinyi immediately agreed, instructed his subordinates to find a beautifully carved screen, and called a guard named Paper Weng. This paper man is not very old, short and thin, and at first glance, he thought he was a young man of the same age as Yin Ao, but in fact he was already a mature man close to forty.
"Tell me, do you want a one-game winner, or a best-of-three system?" Bai Jinyi sat down on the round stool brought by the servant as she spoke, and it was a little inconvenient for her to wear high heels.
"One game is enough, and it saves too much time."
"And what if both of you guess right?"
"Then until someone guesses wrong."
Bai Jinyi asked the two of them to stand five meters away from the screen, and then whispered a few words to the maid beside him. The maid nodded her head repeatedly, and after a while went behind the screen to place the object.
The soul pattern ability of Ji Zai Lu is a god-given talent of the sea and sky belongs to the water liquid class, and the soul skill is called inspiration sharing. This ability is so strange that as long as there are life forms around him, he can share all the information he sees and hears, and this information will be transmitted to his mind without outsiders noticing. Therefore, in the Ranger organization, he is often assigned to complete some difficult intelligence work.
"Alright, now you can put your answers on paper." Bai Jinyi's servant handed Ji Zailu and the paper man a pen and paper, and the two of them quietly wrote on the paper.
The same answer was written on both pieces of paper, but the handwriting on the road was more neat, and the paper man looked at it casually.
"That's right, it's Apple." The maid pushed out the cart from behind the screen, on which was a bright red apple on a plate. Although Ji Zailu didn't know how the paper went used to know the answer, he himself had just shared his vision with the maid who was hiding the object.
Soon the second round of guesswork began, this time the maid did not go behind the screen. Bai Jinyi said to the two: "In order to save the time of preparing every time, I have ordered a lot of items to be prepared behind the screen, you just have to guess." ”
This time, he couldn't observe the situation behind the screen from a human perspective, so he simply used his ability to share the perspective of a spider on the beam. This time the answer was the same, and the maid stepped into the screen again and pushed out the cart with a milky ivory comb on it.
At the beginning of the third round, Ji Zailu turned his head to observe the demeanor of the paper man. He wanted to figure out what the other party relied on to accurately judge the situation behind the screen. Really! He noticed that the paper man was staring at the screen intently, as if he could see through with his eyes.
"That's right again! That's right, it's a rose," cried the maid with incredible excitement.
Without waiting for the fourth round to start, Ji Zailu said to Bai Jinyi: "I think it's really difficult to tell the winner if you guess like this, so let's change the way." How about blindfolding with strips of cloth and guessing with your back to the screen? ”
As soon as Ji Zailu's words came out, the paper Weng was stunned at first, his soul pattern ability is to see things from the object, and now he asks to turn his back on his body, how can he not be in a hurry?
Bai Jinyi naturally understood the intention of Ji Zailu, but he still squinted his eyes and smiled: "No problem." So he had the maid blindfold them.
The result of the fourth round was naturally Ji Zailu's victory, Dongfang Tianma and Yin Ao both applauded next to him, and the Ranger organization finally won the first game, but in this way, the third game played by Dongfang Tianma became the key, which inevitably caused him a lot of pressure.
"You have to be careful." Hu Yin reminded on the side.
"Come on! Brother Tianma, I believe in you. Yin Ao also cheered him on.
Dongfang Tianma nodded solemnly at them, and strode to the center of the Contra Residence to stand still.
"Yo! Isn't this the sharp-toothed kid from yesterday? The third game is so important, how could it send you to play? Bai Jinyi only thought that Dongfang Tianma was a child, and did not pay special attention to him. But she had another thought on her face, nodded lightly at the maid on the side, and sent the Bai family's first guard, Ma Tayun.
Speaking of this horse, he is the only guard who has lived in the Bai family for a long time. Since he entered the Bai family at the age of 20, it has been 34 years, and because he had saved the life of his ancestors, he was specially approved to live in the Bai family permanently. At the same time, his personal ability is also the top existence among the Bai family's guards, even if he is now over half a hundred years old, he is still not inferior to the best among those juniors.
Sending this veteran figure to duel with Dongfang Tianma shows Bai Jinyi's cunning as a businessman. First, she was testing Dongfang Tianma personally, and she became a little interested in this young man who was not yet twenty years old. The second is to expose the attitude of not wanting to pay the Ranger organization at all, because any shrewd businessman will never show his hole cards without knowing the details of his competitors. Unless, I don't want to do this business at all.
