When the first crow sounded, Aoki knew that the guy hidden on the hillside had great mental power. However, the message transmitted by the crow is not clear, and Aoki can't figure out why a spiritual master should use a long-range sniper weapon, you must know that a sniper rifle requires extremely high concentration, which will seriously distract and limit people's mental power.

Mentally strong people are sensitive to everything around them, especially danger, and have an almost uncanny intuition. But Aoki believed he couldn't sense the threat of a gun from such a distance.

So, when his body was tight, his hair stood on end, and he got goosebumps all over his body, he was sure that the gunman had deliberately allowed himself to discover him.

Because the real threat doesn't come from guns, it's from people.

A gun is just a cold artifact, and if it is just left there and no one uses it, it will not pose any threat to you. The so-called intuition of danger is actually a kind of spiritual influence that erupts from people's consciousness, such as the murderous spirit mentioned in many books and movies, which is the embodiment of the release of people's spiritual power.

When a person wants to hurt you, you can feel the "murderous aura" within the appropriate distance.

The concentration of murderous aura depends on the level of anger and determination of the killer, the more angry he is, the greater the determination to kill, and the stronger the murderous aura. In addition, factors such as the level of ruthlessness in the killer's personality, the concentration of consciousness, and the surrounding environment are also highly affected.

Wild animals can feel the existence of "murderous aura" the most. A grazing deer does not need to look up, and can often sense the danger approaching and avoid the attack of the tiger wolf.

And when a killer is a killer, learning how to hide the murderous spirit is another science, which is related to people's control of mental power.

The "murderous aura" of the sniper on the hillside exposed him. But what puzzled Aoki was that if his mental power was strong enough to exert influence at such a distance, how could such a person use a gun and create such a complex trap? If he wasn't that strong, what did he do to make Aoki feel his presence?

Of course, there is also a little doubt from Aoki himself - why can he be sure that the other party is holding a sniper rifle in his hand?

The key here is not sniping, but guns.

A headshot from 800 miles away is a myth, but even at 800 meters, a headshot with an ordinary rifle is close to a myth.

The problem was that Aoki's instincts were very resolute in telling himself that there was a gun there, and the muzzle of the black hole was facing him. It's like a battle-hardened warrior with memories of guns and dangers etched into your memory. But he really can't remember when he fought?

At such a critical moment, his head hurts, and his brain feels like a small universe is about to explode.

Whether it's intuition or doubt, he can't afford to dig deeper at this moment.

Aoki felt a loosening in his body and knew that it was the crow that had succeeded in attracting the attention of the gunner, so he took advantage of the gap and rushed out as fast as he could.

The gun went off.

The gunfire was small, almost inaudible. Aoki narrowed his eyes and saw a straight upward undulating line in the air in the distance, grazing the crow's body and shooting high into the air.

This line is supposed to be the trajectory of the bullet, but theoretically, it shouldn't be seen that way. The trajectory of the bullet is invisible to the naked eye, and what Aoki "sees" is actually the remnant of a spiritual force, releasing the last faint energy in the air. And when its energy is exhausted, the trajectory is gone, so the bullet only has traces of rising, and then disappears without a trace, and there is no trace of a fall at all.

Aoki was taken aback. This shows that the bullet fired at the coal boss has mental power. Could it be that the danger he sensed just now was not a person's "murderous aura", but a bullet in the chamber of the gun? Could it be that he was locked by the "spiritual power" of a bullet?

No wonder there was no vegetation on the hillside, the sun was shining, and he did not find the reflection of the scope. If a bullet can lock onto a target, then what else is the scope for!

But this seems to be beyond Aoki's cognition, how does a lifeless bullet generate spiritual power? And how can you lock on to the target within its range?

The crow croaked and swooped into the canyon behind the mountain.

Aoki immediately sensed danger coming.

He runs in an S-shaped curve, shuttling left and right, looking for cover as much as possible to dodge.

By this time, he had run out of the woods and up the hillside, losing the cover of the trees, and only some low, jagged rocks to shelter him.

The gunman on the hill probably sensed that he was approaching too quickly, and hurriedly fired two shots. The bullets landed not far from Aoki's feet, kicking up a lot of dust.

Aoki clearly felt the mental power that burst from the bullet. If it weren't for the fact that the speed of the bullet was too fast, he even wanted to "catch" it with mental power.

Now he was not worried.

Originally, spiritual power could only affect the world of consciousness, and did not have physical energy. You can't bend a spoon with mental strength, that's a movie scene. If that happens, it can only mean that the world is in some kind of dream.

But now the spiritual power that is inexplicably attached to this bullet makes it something between life and non-life, as if it has an incomplete temporary consciousness.

This helped Aoki instead, and he could use his mental power to resist as well.

The gunman did not hit him, not because of poor marksmanship, but because Aoki affected the "consciousness" of the bullet and, in a very short time, slightly changed its trajectory.

Aoki believed that the crow must have used the same method just now, no wonder it flew so low and didn't get hit.

Since this kind of bullet couldn't hit him, he simply slowed down, so that he could fight more calmly. In the extremely fast rush jump, it is easy to get shot.

Burst!

Another bullet hit the rock beside Aoki.

It seems that Aoki is not hiding, like a strolling tourist.

The snipers on the mountain probably began to doubt their marksmanship, and they didn't shoot for a long time, which allowed Aoki to calmly advance for some distance.

Judging by the distance, if he takes two more steps, he will be able to exert a spiritual influence on the other party. However, the crow failed to destroy the guy's spirit in one fell swoop, and he was able to shoot calmly, which showed that the opponent's strength was strong, so he didn't expect to hypnotize the opponent at once.

In Aoki's memory, he had yet to face off against a true spiritual master.

Whether it is Yao Po or Cuckoo, or the shadow in Xia Wenyuan's dream, or Zhao Pengcheng when he was in prison, he is too weak. Among the people he met, the only ones who could be called masters were Dewar and Su Huilan. Dewar's power is grand and pure, and Su Huilan has subtle and subtle mind control, but neither of them is an enemy, at least for now.

As for Kitano Zhenwu, judging from the real-life group dream that has existed for decades in the cave of the pigpen in southern Yunnan, its strength is really unfathomable. But Kitano is a figure from more than half a century ago, so he should be long gone, right?

Today, it was probably the first time Aoki had faced a true spiritual master.

The crow flew back and circled in the sky.

Aoki took a step forward.

Then, he felt a surging and surging spiritual energy, blocking him like an invisible wall.
