Chapter 29: The Chase Game
Ji Xinghuo's first thought was not what she said, but that your voice was so good!
Then I was vigilant.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Mr. Ji, don't be suspicious."
Her eyes blinked, and even if she was covered by a scarf, she could guess that she was smiling, which was very contagious, "My team is recruiting a shooter, but I didn't find a suitable candidate, and I happened to meet you a few times at the recruitment center, so I'm a little interested." â
Ji Xinghuo was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he was quiet, "Your team? â
He always felt that this woman was not simple, and the more beautiful a woman was, the more she would be able to deceive people, although he was not sure if the other party was really beautiful.
"Yes, I'm the captain of a hunting team, and our team is very good." The woman is clearly modest.
Ji Xinghuo was skeptical, "You should know that I'm just a junior ranger, if your team is very strong, how can you take a fancy to me?" â
"Rank doesn't matter, my requirements are different from other teams."
The woman stood up and walked past her.
Ji Xinghuo smelled a refreshing fragrance, such as the unique fragrance of peach blossoms, gardenias and white orchids mixed together, fresh and elegant, very light, almost imperceptible, but as long as you smell it, I am afraid that you will never forget it for the rest of your life.
He was still in a daze, but the other party had already walked to the door of the restaurant, turned around and asked, "Doesn't Mr. Ji have confidence in himself?" â
"Here we are."
Ji Xinghuo put down the half-eaten dinner, wiped his mouth, got up and followed.
The two got out of the restaurant and walked down the street.
Ji Xinghuo followed by her side, and then remembered to ask, "I haven't asked for advice on how to call it." â
"My name is Ren Mian." She turned her head to answer, and then seemed to be afraid that Ji Xinghuo wouldn't know which two words it was, and took the initiative to explain: "Wayward Ren, cotton of cotton." â
"Ren is the pronunciation of the surname, so it should be pronounced rÊn, right?" Ji Xinghuo was a little strange.
"In my case, it's willful." Ren Mian emphasized very willfully, "If you successfully join my team, you can call me Sister Ren in the future." â
Wayward sister?
Ji Xinghuo complained in his heart, and replied, "Okay, Sister Ren." â
Next, neither of them spoke.
After walking for hundreds of meters all the way without stopping, Ji Xinghuo couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ren, where are we going?" â
"You said that your strength is higher than that of an intermediate ranger, and your archery level is very strong, I haven't seen it, so I'll take you to test it." Ren Mian said lightly: "Although my requirements are different from other teams, as a ranger, your basic skills must always pass." â
Ji Xinghuo nodded, "Thank you Sister Ren for giving me this opportunity." â
"Don't be too happy too early, archery is only the first test, and the difficulty is later. It's never too late to thank you when you join my team. â
Ren Mian said and pointed ahead: "We have arrived." â
It was an archery gym on the side of the street, and after the two of them entered, Ren Mian directly asked the front desk to arrange a separate indoor shooting range, the kind that no one else was allowed to watch.
When the staff went out, Ren Mian pointed to the farthest target on the opposite side.
"Give you 10 seconds to prepare."
"Between the 10th and 20th seconds, complete ten shots, ten rings per arrow." With that, she raised her wrist and pulled up her sleeve, revealing a mechanical watch, and began to time.
Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate at all, and took off the compound hunting bow that had been carrying behind him with his backhand, and at the same time lowered the quiver and straddled it diagonally on his right waist.
In the process, he is also observing the target.
Ren Mian's designated arrow target is a standard target with a diameter of 80 centimeters, but the distance is 150 meters, which is far beyond the distance that a junior ranger can grasp, and an intermediate ranger is also very difficult.
Although it is a fixed target, it requires ten arrows and ten rings to be completed in one breath within ten seconds, and most high-level rangers can't do it.
If you change to other junior rangers, you may not even be able to see the ten rings on the arrow target.
However, Ji Xinghuo did not complain.
Ren Mian kept counting, and at the tenth second, she raised her right index finger as a signal.
Syllable!
Ji Xinghuo shot the first arrow almost at the same time, and the arrow turned into a black line and flew away in the blink of an eye. He didn't look at the result, and the thousand dexterous hands played to the extreme, put the second arrow pinched in the palm of his hand, opened the bow and pulled the string, and shot it again.
Bang bang bang!
Six arrows were fired in a row, and their flight paths were connected into a raised parabola, each arrow was exactly the same, and they continued to shoot at the bull's eye.
It only took about five seconds.
Ji Xinghuo used up the five arrows pinched in his palm in advance, his eyes locked on the bull's-eye, his posture remained unchanged, but his right hand reached into the quiver on his waist, and he deftly grabbed four arrows.
The seventh arrow is on the bow.
At the moment when she was about to shoot out, Ren Mian, who was standing next to her, suddenly snapped her fingers, and the light of the crystal lamps installed around her was instantly attracted to her fingertips, and the light in the shooting range room suddenly dimmed, almost reaching out to her fingers.
Ji Xinghuo still shot this arrow, and at the same time turned his head to look at Ren Mian, and said with a smile:
"Sister Ren, it's not good to have a sneak attack."
As he spoke, another arrow shot in the darkness, as if the change in light was unaffected.
Bang Bang Bang!
The remaining three arrows are shot.
The shooting range room was bright again, and Ren Mian looked at the arrow target 150 meters away, and ten arrows were densely inserted into it, and all the landing points were the ten-ring bull's-eye.
"It took eight seconds."
Ren Mian glanced at the mechanical watch, his eyes showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed, and he exclaimed: "It's faster than I expected, just with this hand archery technique, Olympia's team will rush to get you." â
Not to mention, this is still a shot that was completed with the interference of her shot.
Ji Xinghuo exhaled, as if he wanted to vent all the sullenness he had suffered in the past two days, and laughed at himself: "They will only dislike me." â
"Hehe......" Ren Mian chuckled, "It seems that I missed it." â
"Did I pass the test?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
"Archery has passed." Ren Mian shook his head gently, driving the light yarn on the edge of the hat to shake like a wave, and said meaningfully: "The next test is what I value more." Still, you can shoot ten rings in the dark, which shouldn't be difficult for you. â
"Sister Ren, please." Ji Xinghuo looked calm.
"It's a test of perception." Ren Mian looked at the target full of arrows, "You go and collect your arrows, and then go out in three minutes, don't lose me." â
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Ji Xinghuo alone.
Ji Xinghuo was stunned.
But he immediately ran over and pulled out all the arrows, took back the quiver, and looked at the time on the mechanical watch, without the slightest anxiety on his face.
Magnetic field sensing has locked on to Ren Mian.
When she left the archery hall, she suddenly quickened her pace, turned into a small alley more than two hundred meters away, and then stood still.
It's a visual blind spot that is difficult for the average person to find.
But in the magnetic field induction, it is like a lighthouse in the night.
As soon as the three minutes arrived, Ji Xinghuo walked out of the archery hall and looked around a few times at the door, and then approached the direction where Ren Mian was.
The distance between the two was close to half, and Ren Mian immediately moved.
She continued deeper into the alley where she was hiding, turning over the wall, weaving between the cracks and eaves of the building, changing direction from time to time.
Ji Xinghuo didn't chase into the alley, but just quickened his pace a little, and stayed far behind Ren Mian, keeping her within the range of his magnetic field induction.
Ren Mian's perception is extremely strong, and he can obviously also grasp the means of Ji Xinghuo's position.
So she was even faster.
Many times, she jumped directly on the roof to pick a shortcut, trying to get rid of Ji Xinghuo's tracking, and Ji Xinghuo had to speed up.
However, Ren Mian's speed was obviously faster, and the distance between the two gradually widened.
After a few minutes, she was out of range of magnetic field sensing.
Ji Xinghuo lost Ren Mian's figure, but he didn't panic at all, turned his head to the corner of the wall that no one could see, and the circle of light in the pupil of his right eye flashed, stimulating the Vientiane Star Pupil with all his strength.
Suddenly, countless illusory lines and light and shadows flowed in front of you, evolving into a future.
Vientiane Senluo!
Since the last time he was in a crisis, he activated the ability of Vientiane Xingtong to predict the future, Ji Xinghuo finally mastered it after groping a few times, and called this ability "Vientiane Senluo".
Activating Vientiane Senluo requires the consumption of star power, which lasts for up to three seconds.
It doesn't take that long, though.
Ji Xinghuo only turned on his eyes in the blink of an eye, and in less than half a second, he learned the direction guidance, and then immediately closed Vientiane Senluo.
He ran briskly in one direction, and after more than ten seconds, Ren Mian reappeared in his magnetic field sense.
Ren Mian stood at the turn of a street corner, seemingly unaware that he was being overtaken.
When the distance between the two was shortened to only 100 meters, Ren Mian finally realized.
She quickly left again.
A moment later.
Ji Xinghuo lost it for the second time, it was really not that the magnetic field induction was not good, but that his speed could not keep up, and the junior ranger was still too reluctant in this regard.
So he activated Vientiane Senluo again for half a second and caught up with Ren Mian again.
Repeat this three times.
The two ran and chased, and after more than an hour, they had already passed through half of the Dongxia District.
Ji Xinghuo had never been here before, this neighborhood had less foot traffic, more rigorous patrols, and the strength of the Inhumans who came and went was also a cut higher, obviously the upper area of Olympia City.
Suddenly, Ren Mian's movement trajectory changed.
She was no longer alert when she approached as she had before, moving away from the most advantageous direction, and moving in a more casual direction.
Ji Xinghuo thought about it and understood.
Ren Mian lost the ability to sense his position. He looked down and sniffed his body, a smile on his face, "I see." â
Ji Xinghuo boldly narrowed the distance between him and Ren Mian, but found that she didn't move.
When I got closer, I found that it was a bar.
Ren Mian stood at the door of the bar, and when she saw Ji Xinghuo coming unhurriedly from the street in the distance, her beautiful eyes were a little surprised, but also a little helpless and curious, but in the end she didn't ask.
"Sister Ren."
Ji Xinghuo stepped forward and shouted.
Ren Mian nodded slightly, stretched out his white and delicate hand, and said seriously: "Welcome to join my team." â
