Chapter 16: Dodging Bullets?
Chapter 16: Dodging Bullets?
"This matter requires careful consideration. The relationships among the high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Security are complex, making it difficult to uncover the truth quickly."
Lucy picked up her coffee from her desk and quietly expressed her thoughts to Qin Wuying.
"You haven't been sleeping well these past few days, have you? Why don't you go and get some rest?"
Qin Wuying didn't continue the previous topic, but instead noticed Lucy's tired expression.
Previously, every time they met, it was either during a mission or due to time constraints. Now, Qin Wuying truly realized—
Lucy is a truly classic Western beauty.
Are you staring at my face? Heh.
"Uh... I'm just concerned about your health."
Seeing Qin Wuying blush slightly, Lucy couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, Mr. Qin, I won't tease you anymore."
Lucy took another sip of coffee, pulled a card from the drawer, and handed it to Qin Wuying.
"What is this? The key to the next mission?"
"I've found you a private training room; here's the access card."
"Really?! You're so kind!"
After working at Stark Industries for a few days, Qin Wuying was worried about where to practice his magic.
Ah, it's so great to have met Lucy. Is this what it feels like to have someone protecting you?
As he walked out of the young lady's office, several men of considerable rank were watching him from a distance.
On her first day at the company, Qin Wuying noticed that Lucy was very eye-catching and was probably the object of admiration for many male employees.
"Beep—Identity verification successful. Welcome, Mr. Qin."
Place the access card on the recognition area at the entrance, and the automatic doors to the training room will open to both sides.
The training room was very empty, with only a pair of tables and chairs, a cabinet, and many cameras-like devices on the ceiling.
Qin Wuying hung his coat on the chair and then put on the glasses that were on the table.
In an instant, the mirror reflected various information, including his physical condition, the training mode he had chosen, and so on.
This reminded him of the glasses Tony Stark gave Spider-Man.
However, this technology isn't quite that advanced yet.
"Activate Hell Mode." Qin Wuying issued the voice command to begin training.
As a mage who has mastered unique skills, those low-difficulty challenges are simply beneath his notice.
As the system started up, the room's environment changed rapidly.
Through the glasses, you can see that the original training room has now become a small open space between buildings.
Then, suddenly, dozens of masked terrorists appeared in front of him.
"They look so familiar...aren't these Phoenix Warriors?"
The enemy was carrying an identical AK47, with the muzzle pointed at Qin Wuying.
"Holy crap, am I playing Counter-Strike?"
Qin Wuying looked down at his hands; he didn't even have a dagger, let alone a rifle.
"You have selected Hell Mode, which requires you to successfully dodge all attacks from the simulated enemies and defeat them."
"Huh? Then at least give me some kind of weapon, okay?"
"Hell mode has no weapons by default; if you need them, it will be considered a training failure."
What kind of training is this? Aside from superheroes like Captain America and Iron Man, who could possibly pass this?
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The system's countdown had begun, and Qin Wuying quickly looked around, trying to find cover.
"Two...one! Training begins!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat...!" In an instant, the violent sounds of AK47s firing rose and fell.
Qin Wuying lay prone behind a fallen pillar, trying to catch the enemy when they were about to reload.
But speaking of which, what is the red indicator above the field of view for?
Looking at the feedback that resembled a hit effect, Qin Wuying was somewhat confused.
"Okay, now!" The moment the gunfire subsided slightly, he flipped over the pillar, rolling several times in succession—
"Unfortunately, the challenge has failed, and your health points have been depleted."
"Huh? You're kidding me!"
During a temporary replay of the training, Qin Wuying realized that the bullets from the other side could penetrate walls, and that he had already been shot multiple times while hiding behind a pillar.
"Such high values? Only vibranium could block that, what kind of design is this!"
Qin Wuying couldn't help but complain. If he couldn't use cover, then with the enemy's numerical advantage, no matter how he moved, he would just be a sitting duck.
After trying four or five more times, all attempts still failed.
Even using the ability to teleport is of no use.
The terrorists didn't care about the casualties of their teammates; once they located Qin Wuying, they opened fire indiscriminately.
On one occasion, he even teleported to the building next door and was "killed" by a sniper.
After taking a shower after training, Qin Wuying returned to her room.
Lucy found him an apartment near the company building; it wasn't luxurious, but it was quite comfortable.
"Sigh, this thing is useless."
Looking at the blank pages in his hand, Qin Wuying sighed.
Since the last time I learned teleportation, the contents of the Book of Space have only been updated slightly.
Moreover, the so-called riddle of "stay in one place and you will be everywhere" is baffling.
Space-type master Davis is quite an eccentric person.
To solve the riddle described in the book, one must be "both here and not here".
No matter how you look at it, this is completely contradictory, isn't it?
For the first time since arriving in this world, Qin Wuying felt somewhat tired and lethargic.
Once the novelty wears off, all that's left are endless tasks and pointless plans to save the world.
What would they do if it were their favorite hero?
Qin Wuying thought of Doctor Strange, Ryuki, Naruto and Kakashi...
Wait a minute!
Qin Wuying suddenly sat up in bed.
Kakashi?! The eye technique called "Kamui" flashed into his mind, which could distort the space of the opponent.
In contrast to Kakashi, Obito's Sharingan can achieve "hollowing out".
Now, he excitedly jumped out of bed.
Blurring, what a perfect word. How perfectly it fits the requirement of "being here and not here" in Space's book.
Qin Wuying concentrated his mind and attention, trying his best to imagine an independent space in his mind.
If I could create something like Obito's "Kamui Space," wouldn't I be able to achieve Hollowfication as well?
Before long, Qin Wuying felt a gentle breeze on his face, and the air was filled with the scent of grass.
He opened his eyes and tentatively took a few steps across the vast grassland.
Based solely on his most instinctive feeling, the alternate dimension he created was this grassland.
In a way, this may be the deepest desire in the heart of a working person.
"Hmph, with the ability to blur, dodging bullets is now a 100% certainty."
A familiar, melodious song drifted from afar.
Qin Wuying listened intently. Hmm, how wonderful! It's like... like the ringtone he set for Lucy!
Startled, Qin Wuying immediately returned to the real world and pressed the answer button.
"Qin, I need you to come and help me right away!"
