The next day, Luke pedaled his beloved bicycle to school, which was supposed to be a half-hour drive, but arrived in 20 minutes after his physical fitness improved.

After arriving in the class, he had just sat in his seat for a while, and his original friend Renard and a few classmates surrounded him. Luke completely absorbed the memories of the original body, and was not afraid to communicate with these friends, and after a few words of greeting, the chat got to the point.

"Luke, did you experiment with that summoning ritual you found last time? Did it work? I remember you saying that the ceremony didn't look fake. ”

Hearing the topic of the supernatural, several other people in the small group also became excited, looking at Luke with a wistful expression, waiting for him to share the experience of summoning spirits.

Renard and the others are the same avid occult enthusiasts as the original body, if they tell these classmates that the ritual was successful, and that they are currently intact, no matter how much they emphasize the danger of the ritual, they still go back to do their own experiments, in case they also encounter aggressive resentful spirits... I guess I won't be as lucky as myself.

Luke shook his head and said, "Tried, just like the original, nothing happened." ”

A few of the classmates looked lost in excitement, and then discussed with each other the rumors they had heard during the holidays, such as the appearance of a face dog in Evanston and the opening of a new vampire bar on Brook Street.

......

The day's lessons were over quickly, and after school, Luke grabbed Renard, took him to a remote corner, looked around, and whispered, "I remember you said that you had an uncle named Sean, who ran a gun shop and often took you hunting." ”

Renard was a little confused and said, "yes, you went to my house to play last month, and you met again." ”

Luke continued to keep his voice low and said, "I've also been interested in shooting lately, take me one next time I go hunting, and besides, I want to buy a gun." ”

"Hey, Luke, you're only 17" Renard was a little embarrassed. "It's illegal for minors to buy guns."

Luke put his arm around Renard's shoulders and said, "Hey, I just want to practice my marksmanship and go back to the farm to hunt during the holidays, you know, there are occasional wolves around my farm, and I've long since seen them unpleasantly." Dude, we've been friends for so many years, you know me, there's no way I'm going to do anything else with a gun. ”

Renard thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask Uncle Sean." However, if you hunt, you can sell rifles at most, and Uncle Sean will not sell you a pistol. ”

Luke was overjoyed and said, "A rifle is fine, I don't like pistols either, they have little power and less ammunition, and real men should play with big guns." ”

After deciding to buy guns, the two left school and went home.

Next.

After a boring day of classes, Renard, who had already made an appointment in advance, took Luke to his uncle Sean's gun shop.

Sean is bearded and unshaven, and he is a typical middle-aged American man. Seeing Renard and Luke coming, he happily hugged the two and greeted Luke: "Luke, we haven't seen each other for a month, I heard Renard say that you want to buy a spear." ”

"Yes, Uncle Sean, I've heard a lot of stories about your hunting with Renard, and I'm now interested in hunting, and I can't wait to go back to my hometown farm for a man's hunt."

Sean was as happy as he was to hear the hunt he was most interested in, as he was at the novel that Amway was reading to someone else, and said, "You little ghost, you shouldn't have sold it to you, but Renard kept begging me, anyway, you are 17 years old, and you are almost old enough to legally carry a gun, so it doesn't hurt to practice in advance." ”

With that, he opened the door of the gun shop and led the two to the warehouse.

"What gun do you like, did you think about it before you came?"

"I wanted a powerful, easy-to-use, and durable rifle, and a shotgun would do, preferably one that could be used as a stick to hit after the bullet was finished." Luke made a request for a rifle.

"The first few conditions are fine," Sean led the two of them inside, and picked up a Winchester M70 rifle.

"This gun will fit your requirements. It's okay to use a gun as a stick, but you need to be prepared for the rifle to be scrapped after tapping, after all, a rifle is a very delicate instrument, and a strong blow is likely to cause damage to the internal parts. ”

He picked up his gun as he walked, and when he reached the table in the depths of the warehouse, he already had three rifles hanging on him. He placed the rifles on the table and introduced them to Luke:

"Remington M700, empty gun weighs 6 pounds, barrel length 22 inches, with scope, high accuracy, long range, fires 7.62 full-power ammunition, 10 rounds capacity, detachable magazine, effective range of 800 meters."

"Winchester M70 Improved, empty gun weighs 7 pounds, barrel length 24 inches, can add scope, also fires 7.62 full power ammunition, ammunition capacity 5 rounds, effective range 600 meters"

"Browning A5, the empty gun weighs 7 pounds, the barrel is 21 inches long, the copper bead crosshair is aimed, and it fires No. 12/16 lead bullets, with a capacity of 4 rounds, and a separate one can be placed in the chamber to achieve a capacity of 5 rounds. Effective firing range 50 meters. ”

"Winchester M1897, empty gun weighs 8 pounds, barrel length 27 inches, copper bead crosshair aiming, fires 12/16 lead bullets, can hold 5 shotguns in the magazine, and can also be placed separately in the chamber, can achieve a capacity of 6 rounds. Effective firing range 50 meters. ”

"Two rifles, two shotguns, all four guns meet your requirements, except that they can be used as sticks, of course."

Luke experienced the feel of the four guns separately, and the Remington M700 and Winchester M1897 felt more comfortable and suitable for the "Indian War Stick Technique".

As for the problem of damage to the gun caused by percussion, when the "Indian Warstick Technique" is used against the enemy, the attached psionic energy will protect the gun's body, which is also the source of the "Indian Warstick Technique" lightning fire attribute damage.

Two guns, Remington 700 has the advantage of long range, high accuracy, and large bullet capacity, but according to the rumors of supernatural creatures, creatures like werewolves and vampires have strong self-healing ability, and the rifle's penetration damage may not be a big threat.

On the contrary, the Winchester M1897 is a shotgun that is close to the powerful, even if it can't be killed, it can knock enemies away, easy to use, and can also replace salt bullets to fight non-physical enemies such as ghosts and ghosts.

Luke thought about it for a while and decisively decided to take the Winchester M1897.

Hearing his decision, Sean put away the other three guns and said, "You have a good eye, this gun is also nicknamed the trench sweeper, the close-range killing power is huge, and the fire duration is also very good, so it is most suitable to be placed at home to guard against invasion." ”

After saying that, he smiled and patted Luke on the shoulder, "Next time I'll take Renard and you two out hunting to try your guns." ”

Luke bought a few boxes of lead bullets and salt bullets (shotguns filled with coarse salt particles instead of lead pellets, which served as non-lethal weapons in the wardrobe, not specifically to prevent ghosts), and after taking out his credit card and paying for them, Sean took them to the shooting range in the backyard of the store, let Luke test shoot a few shots, and told him that he could come and practice at any time.
