Chapter 215 Lu Ming is in trouble
However, Jiang Xingni didn't have time to carefully study his newly discovered ability before he heard the sound of a bullet leaving the barrel.
Time seemed to slow down in that instant.
A series of techniques she had learned before on how to dodge bullets flashed through her mind.
Dodging bullets doesn't mean dodging bullets that have already been fired.
Instead, they focused on observing the source of the bullets and avoiding the shooter, rather than the bullets themselves.
Jiang Xingni's own voice echoed in her mind.
No one ever taught Jiang Xingni what to do, how to fight, or how to dodge oncoming punches if she wanted to survive.
Jiang Xingni had to figure things out on his own, learning from good luck and battles to develop his own set of strategies.
Including dodging bullets now.
Bullets are fast, and it's almost impossible to dodge something the size of a finger traveling at nearly 1,500 kilometers per hour.
Therefore, what Jiang Xingni learned was never how to dodge bullets, but rather how to be a gunman.
With tactical clothing and masks concealing their presence, it becomes even more difficult to discern the other side's gaze and target.
The good news is that Jiang Xingni doesn't need to worry about these issues now, since she has the Eye of Truth to assist her.
She ignored all the panels in her field of vision that might distract her, focused her gaze on the other person's gun barrel, and then dodged to the side.
The first shot was fired, followed by the second and then the third.
She couldn't hide behind the bed and ignore the emotional significance of the bed to Jiang Xingni. At such close range, a bullet could penetrate the bed frame as easily as it could penetrate butter, offering absolutely no protection.
Therefore, Jiang Xingni could only hope that he could escape.
"Whoosh."
The sound of something cutting through the air successfully slid past Jiang Xingni, leaving a hole in the black cloak she was wearing.
Shan Qing's movements were a few seconds slower than Jiang Xingni's.
This brief moment was enough for Jiang Xingni to leave the range of the pistol's fire.
She didn't run out of the bedroom.
Before Shan Qing could pull the trigger a second time, he grabbed the other person's wrist tightly.
Her wrist twisted toward the ceiling following her force. Before Shan Qing could react, her finger pressed the trigger due to inertia.
The bullet missed.
Only then did she belatedly realize the sharp pain in her wrist, which Jiang Xingni had been gripping.
"...!" Shan Qing's eyes widened, and only then did she begin to struggle, but Jiang Xingni increased her strength, pinning her down completely. "You bunch of cripples who only rely on supernatural abilities...!"
Jiang Xingni controlled the force so that it didn't really cause Shan Qing any serious harm. The force was just right—not enough to make her break free easily, but also not enough to cause any damage.
Jiang Xingni didn't care at all about what Shan Qing had just said.
The direction of Shan Qing's attack was fundamentally wrong. Jiang Xingni really didn't care whether he won because of his supernatural ability or because of his physical skills.
For Jiang Xingni, even with the assistance of the Eye of Truth, the entire process still relied entirely on her physical skills.
Whether it's assessing the situation or making swift responses within a few seconds to bring the situation back under control, it's all the result of Jiang Xingni's years of training.
The whole process was fraught with risks, and it was by no means an easy task for Jiang Xingni.
However, for the surrounding onlookers, especially Shan Qing—the one who was directly confronting Jiang Xingni—it was a completely different story.
The moment Shan Qing drew his pistol, Jiang Xingni seemed to have already predicted the point where the first bullet would fall. Without hesitation, he used his cloak as cover to pull himself out of the attack range, leaving only half of the cloak that had been burned and torn off by the bullet.
Immediately afterwards, having bought herself a few seconds of safety, she neither sought cover—although even Shan Qing herself didn't know if, under the circumstances just now, she would have been destroyed along with Jiang Xingni—nor did she use those few seconds to escape.
Instead, they seized the opportunity and in the blink of an eye took the gun from Shan Qing's hand.
The second bullet flew futilely towards the ceiling, leaving everyone with nothing but silence, except for the sound of the bullet leaving the barrel.
Jiang Xingni snatched the pistol from Shan Qing's hand, twirled it in his hand, and then held it in his palm.
According to Jiang Xingni's own estimation, the pistol was not fully loaded. When it was taken out, there were probably only two bullets left. The masked man next to him hadn't had time to reload, and now all the bullets inside were empty.
After confirming the situation, Jiang Xingni felt relieved.
Without hesitation, she switched the pistol to the other hand, pointed the muzzle at the man's temple, and pulled the safety, not at all worried that it might accidentally go off.
—There was no fire to go on anyway.
"..." She lazily curled the corners of her lips, looking at the group of people in front of her.
Only two of them had the insignia of superhumans on their heads, while the other two—plus the one who fell into Jiang Xingni's hands, making a total of three—were all ordinary people.
The bodies, covered by tactical uniforms and masks, make it impossible to tell the gender of each person from the outside, but once the Eye of Truth is activated, things become much easier.
There were two women and three men, including the woman he had subdued.
She was about to say something, such as that the information was indeed in her hands, and if they were willing to cooperate, for example, by revealing the purpose of their trip and who was behind it, Jiang Xingni was not unwilling to provide that information.
But just as he was about to say those words—Jiang Xingni had even opened his mouth to speak.
The system's voice rang in Jiang Xingni's mind.
"Lu Ming is in trouble," the system announced.
The cry of a deer...?
Jiang Xingni rummaged through his mind for a moment before finally recalling which character the name belonged to.
Not part of the main group, but just someone Jiang Xingni met by chance, but Jiang Xingni saw his own reflection in the other person, so he told the system to pay more attention.
The good news is that Jiang Xingni's premonitions are always very accurate. Sure enough, Lu Ming got into trouble. The system also listened to Jiang Xingni very well and reported to him in time when things were about to show signs of trouble.
The bad news is that now is really not a good time to deal with this kind of thing.
Whether it's the "Dragon Group" members who are still unresolved, or Jiang Xingni's suddenly evolved superpowers for some unknown reason, they are all enough to give Jiang Xingni a headache.
And now, even Lu Ming has interfered.
