Chapter 12 Two Bizarre Events
Chapter 12 Two Bizarre Events
Inside the shooting range, Leng Xuan pulled down his baseball cap and said coolly to the two of them.
Have you ever handled a gun before?
Li Jie and Lin Qiye both shook their heads.
"Alright then, let's start with the simplest ones."
He took a finely crafted pistol from a shelf to the side.
"You two, who comes first?"
Li Jie stepped forward first.
Anyway, he has no interest in firearms like guns. If he plays too badly, he can just skip the course and be done with it, and he'll be happy to have some peace and quiet.
He took the pistol from Leng Xuan, raised his hand to aim, and was about to fire wildly when...
However, he felt an unusual fluctuation in the internal energy of his body.
Could it be that...
He pulled the trigger, and the gun's muzzle spurted out a tongue of fire with a faint blue light as it hurtled away!
The rows of targets in the shooting range appeared to have been cut in half at the waist, all broken off neatly.
Finally, the bullet, gleaming with a faint bluish light, embedded itself firmly in the concrete wall at the very back of the firing range.
Leng Xuan: What the hell?! His grandma's bullets can carry sword energy?!
Lin Qiye: There are no targets left... What am I supposed to shoot at??
Leng Xuan looked at the chaotic shooting range and sighed softly.
Looks like I'll have to work overtime tonight to clean up...
Just as he was about to tell Li Jie and Lin Qiye to go back first.
The concrete barrier wall that had just been hit by Li Jie trembled slightly.
Um? what sound?
As the three looked into the shooting range.
The concrete wall standing at the very back broke off cleanly in the middle and collapsed backward.
Leng Xuan: !!! I still have to build a house!!!
Lin Qiye: No way... does that mean I can't practice shooting tomorrow either?
Hearing the commotion coming from the shooting range, Chen Muyi, Zhao Kongcheng, and others rushed over.
When they saw the dilapidated firing range.
They all stared at Li Jie.
"You weren't the one causing all this trouble again, were you...?"
Li Jie clapped his hands lightly.
"Basic operation, don't be silly~"
In the end, poor Qiye learned nothing except being thoroughly beaten down by Lao Zhao in the morning.
.........
at dusk.
Back in his room, Li Jie sat cross-legged on the bed. It seemed he wouldn't need to practice with knives and guns anymore.
This way, he can spend more time improving his own level of understanding.
Li Jie's heart sank as he entered the inner realm.
The aura emanating from his dantian was thick and long, and the flow of true qi was significantly faster than yesterday.
It seems that today's battle was effective.
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
........
Half a month has passed quietly.
The golden true energy within Li Jie's dantian grew increasingly thick and vast.
After meditating and circulating his energy for two cycles, he opened his eyes, which shone with a sharp light.
It seems that it won't be long before I can enter the second level of the Great Yellow Court.
During this period, Li Jie discovered that, in addition to using true qi to strengthen its circulation when fighting enemies, another way to improve one's cultivation level was through the monotonous practice of meditation, circulating qi, and breathing exercises.
For the next two weeks, Li Jie spent most of his time meditating, except when he was fighting Chen Muye. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight the other members of Squad 136, but that none of them were a match for him. Even Captain Chen, the strongest fighter, was showing signs of not being able to hold on.
The team members had no complaints about this; on the contrary, they were even more looking forward to the Night Watch training camp. After all, it would be a source of pride for them to have a promising talent emerge from their Cangnan territory. Oh, no, it would be two promising talents.
Lin Qiye has made significant progress in the past two weeks. Apart from his shooting being off-target, his swordsmanship and use of forbidden techniques have also improved considerably.
Another new day.
When Li Jie arrived at the store early in the morning.
They discovered that the Peace Agency, which should have already opened for business, had a sign that said it was temporarily closed.
Li Jie understood; it seemed that the Nanda snake demon had already appeared.
So, the snake demon's true form, Li Yifei, should be in the agency right now.
If we kill him here...
Does that mean the problem is solved immediately?
He opened the door to the underground passage and walked inside. Soon after, Lin Qiye, the entire 136th Squad, and the snake demon's true form, Li Yifei, appeared before Li Jie.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Muye gestured for Li Jie to sit down, and then continued to ask Li Yifei questions.
"Besides the cannibalism you witnessed, is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Li Yifei shook his head, feigning fear.
"That's it. I ran away as fast as I could after seeing it, how could I possibly know what happened next..."
And they were eating people! After eating them, they conjured up an exact replica of them—that's bizarre and outrageous enough, okay...?
Li Jie silently watched Li Yifei, who was putting on an act.
"Who brought you here?"
"What is your purpose?"
Seeing this, Chen Muye explained to Li Jie.
“He signed a confidentiality agreement, and he was also involved in the previous masked man incident, so we had met once before. He knew our identities, so he skipped the cumbersome process of calling the police and came directly to our door.”
Li Jie ignored Chen Muye and stared intently at Li Yifei, his eyes flashing with sword light, his true energy threatening to burst forth.
He sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the boy in front of him, who was about the same age as him.
Li Yifei covered his head in terror and hid behind the sofa.
"I'm just an ordinary person! Don't scare me!"
Chen Muye patted Li Jie on the shoulder and shook his head.
He withdrew his oppressive aura and glanced indifferently at Li Yifei, who was hiding behind him.
It seems he's still in his second personality.
However, what he didn't know was that everything he did was being subtly altered by the Nanda snake demon within him.
That's really interesting...
Chen Muye clapped his hands and addressed the crowd.
"Everyone heard what this student Li just said. This mysterious group is highly secretive and contagious. The worst part is that we don't know how many people in No. 2 Middle School have been infected. We must infiltrate the school to conduct a thorough investigation."
"To avoid alerting them, we split into two groups."
"The first group, led by Hongying, includes Xiaonan, Li Jie, and Qiye, who will infiltrate the school. Since you all look relatively young, it's not too strange for you to enter the campus."
"I'll go check on the situation at the homes of the two confirmed sub-units first. Qi Mo will go ahead and help Lao Zhao set up the 'Boundless Airspace'. Xiang Nan will continue to investigate the specific identity of this mysterious group based on the clues and oversee the coordination. Leng Xuan will choose a location to provide support at any time."
"As for Li..."
Hearing Chen Muye call his name, Li Yifei peeked out from behind the sofa.
"what's up?"
"You should go back to school with Hongying and the others."
Upon hearing this, he jumped to his feet and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, I'm not going back. I'm just an ordinary person. I barely escaped with my life. Am I going to go back and die?"
Li Jie, with his arms crossed, spoke up.
"It seems you witnessed that mysterious man-eating creature firsthand... How will we know that our classmate was infected if you don't go back?"
What Li Jie really wanted to say was, "How can I kill you if you don't go back? I won't be able to catch you if you escape..."
