Chapter 31: Murder on the spot
The velocity of a sniper rifle is very fast.
Because this is very important, I have said it countless times, although Hejat is 12.7mm, the probe is heavier, and the muzzle velocity is not as good as that ghost animal's L115, but it can also reach 825M/s, even if the humidity and air density by the river are high, and the bullet passes through a distance of less than 600m in less than a second, what can a person do?
Can you take a step? Count from stationary?
That's probably it.,It's not much more.,Even if the person's physique has been greatly enhanced in the game.,But the brain inside the skull.,In other words, consciousness and spirit.,It's still original.,The reflex speed is limited.,Maybe the reflection will speed up in the fierce battle, but the scene in front of you is obviously not a fierce battle.γ
What's more, the bullet is nearly three times faster than the speed of sound, unless you can see the ballistic prediction line - but the sniper rifle doesn't have that thing in the first shot, and you can't dodge it even if you see a muzzle flame.
But that's how unscientific things happened.
In fact, at the same time that Shino pulled the trigger, the upper body of the player wearing the torn cloak tilted backwards like a ghost with no mass. The bullet passed through his chest, opening a wide hole in the distant ground.
"What......" "Sure enough...... It's just that he didn't run. "The two men reacted very differently.
The girl was simply shocked, while Ye Chi was relieved that the target was confirmed, as well as a strong fighting spirit - and a fierce murderous aura.
This is not unscientific, as mentioned in previous volumes, staying in complete stealth for a long time will cause a reaction to the "attention" of others.
But this time requirement is quite long.
In addition to SAO players, it is only possible to have the kind that often wanders between life and death, and these people are often the top group in SAO.
"That's ......"
"It's that guy......" Ye Chi was so angry that his teeth itched, there was no way, he couldn't stop this murder...... The distance of more than 500 meters can take more than a minute, and one minute is enough for that person to shoot all his bullets, not to mention that he only used one to kill people.
Ye Chi has been able to determine that the guy's means are a kind of realistic PK, so it doesn't matter what the method in the game is, no matter what kind of gun, it's just a ritual, let alone a pistol, even if it's to give him a kiss of love, calling himself the little witch of the stars β Mei Lulu β and then saying "Although I'm cute and charming, I'll invite death" and then the opposite side will be dropped for unknown reasons, and the death of the body principle in reality is unknown.
Everything depends on the actions of that person's accomplice in reality.
It's just for show.
Shino, who was already speechless, immediately had a feeling. She noticed that the other man's face was turned to this side, and the gaze radiating from the depths of the tattered hood met her gaze through the scope. And the mouth covered by the shadow did indeed smile. Shino subconsciously made a gasping sound.
"That'...... The guy ...... Knew from the beginning that we were hiding here......"
"Of course, the undisguised killing intent from the beginning is enough to rub the killing intent fluctuation, okay? If that guy hadn't noticed, he would have been chopped up by me! Ye Chi was not surprised, "It's better to say, it's because of this that I can confirm that it's this guy......"
"This kind of thing...... Can it be recognized by the system? β
"It's impossible, but if you have a sniper rifle, you can confirm the position directly through the sight, and this can be recognized by the system."
"Then why didn't you notice? Wouldn't you too? β
"But it's not like that guy doesn't distract a little...... As long as you master the skill, this effect will be reduced a lot, plus your side is paying attention to me all the time......"
"Who will be paying attention to you all the time!"
"Don't worry about the small details......"
"Then why did you find out over there......
"Staring ......"
"Uh......" The girl seems to be a little weak-hearted......
But it all happened in a very short time, and when she said that, her right hand still automatically loaded Black Katy's next bullet. Shiina, though she sniped again, began to hesitate. Against an enemy with that kind of reaction speed, this kind of single attack with a predictable line should be dodged nine times out of the blue. You can also choose to fire all four bullets in the magazine, but if all of them are dodged, it is easy for the opponent to close the distance and counterattack. What to do...... What should I do......
As if seeing through Shino's momentary hesitation, the broken cloak pulled her body back.
He pointed the automatic pistol in his right hand at PaleRider again, then pulled the hammer with his thumb, propped his left hand on the grip, and then calmly pulled the trigger sideways.
A small flash of light appeared. After a few seconds of delay, a dry gunshot rang out in Shiina's ears.
When Ye Chi heard this voice, he slammed his hand to the ground.
The bullet rightfully hit PaleRider in the center of the chest. Although it is a vital point in the human body, no matter which part of the world is hit by a nine-millimeter Luger bullet, it will not die instantly. And PaleRider should still have nearly ninety percent of the HP. But for some reason, the broken cloak stopped attacking. He just maintained a position with a gun in his hands and stood leisurely on the spot. Knowing that Shino was still aiming at him, he didn't mean to look for cover at all, so he should have the confidence to be able to dodge any bullet.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
By this time, the electromagnetic shock bomb effect that immobilized PaleRider had finally disappeared.
Dressed in blue and white camouflage uniform, he jumped up like a spring, and then raised the AR17 shotgun in his right hand with lightning speed, and pressed the muzzle of the gun to the chest of the torn cloak. This can already be said to be the real zero distance. In this case, the shotgun will all go into the heart of the broken cloak. It is not as powerful as a pistol, and it is likely to be killed with a single blow if you break your cloak.
Shiina, as well as the audience watching the broadcast of this tournament in the whole GGO world and the real world, should have stared at this scene with wide eyes and concentrated attention.
Except for Ye Chi.
It's no fun, even if he shoots the broken cloak, it can't change his fate.
Really......
Shots fired back - no sounds.
Instead, there is the subtle sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. It was the sound of the AR17 on PaleRider's right hand falling on the dark brown sand at his feet.
Next, PaleRider falls to his knees like a puppet with a broken joint, and slowly leans to the right until he lies completely on his side on the ground.
From Shiina's position, only the corners of PaleRider's mouth under the armor of the helmet can be seen. His mouth seemed to be bursting into a silent wail, as if he was breathing in pain.
He suddenly raised his left hand in a rather weak motion, making a gesture of clutching the center of his chest. In the next moment-
Shattered.
Make. In the next moment-
The entire body of the blue and white camouflage uniform was surrounded by an irregular light that appeared to be noisy, and then suddenly disappeared.
THE LAST REMAINING LIGHT FORMS A SMALL COLUMN OF "DISCONNECTION" WORDS, BUT SOON DISAPPEARS AS IF IT WERE IN THE SETTING SUN.
[Is it a heart attack?] But this is also dying too fast! γ
How did you do that? γ
There are many ways to make cardiac arrest fatal.
Electricity, acute organ failure, medications, blood clots, gas embolism, sudden cold and heat, sudden changes in air pressure - even a simple thump.
However, the power can be ruled out, if it is powered on, the effect is instantaneous, and the helmet will be destroyed at the same time as the power is on, and the line will be broken instantly.
The air pressure can be considered, but it shouldn't be so fast.
Sudden cold and heat are the same, and it is also a long process to rely on the capillaries of the whole body to die. (Electric fan blows dead)
Gas embolism...... This is possible, a tube of air is injected into the coronary arteries, and the cardiac arrest is properly done.
In short, how many possible means there are, Ye Chi has not studied systematically and only knows these, compared to professionals, his posture is still too few.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Is that...... What's going on? β
After a few seconds, Shino finally managed to say this.
The player wearing the torn cloak fires only one shot at PaleRider with a pistol. At this time, PaleRider's HP should still be left. PaleRider is then paralyzed and ready to fight back with a shotgun, but just before he can fire, the line unfortunately malfunctions, kicking him out of the game.
If you want to explain what happened in front of you, this is probably the most reasonable explanation.
But how could it be so disconnected at that time? Moreover, the tattered cloak that was almost reversed was not so much luck as it seemed to have known that a disconnection was going to happen. No, I should say-
It's like kicking PaleRider out of the game of your own volition.
That's impossible. It is not possible to interfere with other players' network connections from within the game.
However, the tattered cloak didn't seem at all surprised by PaleRider's disappearance, and he slowly withdrew his left hand into the cloak. Then he raised his right hand, holding the pistol, toward a point in the sky. Shino knew right away what was there. It was a virtual camera footage that was broadcasting the conference live. In order to let the player know that they are being photographed, a light glow is placed in the air. In other words, his action is a declaration to all audiences. But what is he going to announce? The battle with PaleRider was won without a fight because of a network failure, and it was not a way to win at all. Or - for the tattered cloak, the disappearance just now was the real victory? Other words......
"Palerider, dead." Ye Chi said calmly.
"It's not just that I'm out of the game, but I'm dead, as a human being."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ You ............"
What are you talking about!
Shino was going to say that.
"That guy is 'Dead Gun', the bastard who takes real life in the game."
Shino had heard the name. After the ambiguous knowledge surfaced from the depths of his memory, Shino told it directly.
ββ¦β¦ Deathβ¦β¦ GUN, are you talking about that strange rumor......? There was a man who shot the winner of the last conference, "ZXED", and the "Thin Salt Cod Roe", who won the first few places, in the hotel and plaza on the street, and as a result, the two of them never logged in again......"
"Yes, it's true, both of them died, and the cause of death was a heart problem-" Ye Chi didn't dare to say that it was a heart attack.
"I accepted the commission to investigate - to hunt that guy...... I still have an account to settle with that guy. β
The girl couldn't speak anymore...... It's all amazing.
Originally, although the water of this game was very deep, it was all well played, and suddenly a person came out to kill all the players from reality...... No one will believe this.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
How much nonsense is Kawahara talking about here......
As a result, I didn't dare to change too much, and I was upset......
I should be able to start the next chapter...... Probably......
