At the same time.
While Zhang Wei was explaining to the monks how to use the Barrett.
In Great Xia, on Mount Wutai.
Wu Nian was walking on the mountain path of Mount Wutai, following his uncle-master's instructions to go down the mountain to arrange things for Master Kong Jing's funeral.
Beside him was a girl wearing a crop top and shorts. Her bold and fashionable attire, coupled with her above-average beauty, attracted the attention of many pilgrims going up and down the mountain.
It couldn't be helped.
The scene before them was too peculiar.
A handsome young monk walking side-by-side with a beautiful young woman, chatting as they descended the mountain.
This scene.
Made people unable to help but glance over.
As the beautiful girl proactively linked her arm with Wu Nian's, her chest pressed against him, making Wu Nian clasp his hands together and chant Amitabha.
Inevitably, a young pilgrim enviously said:
"It's really good to be a monk now, to have a beautiful woman accompanying you. I want to become a monk too."
His companion rolled his eyes at him:
"Give it a rest. You'd need that kind of looks. Look how handsome that monk is. Honestly, if Fahai looked like this in the Legend of the White Snake, Bai Suzhen would have fallen for Fahai long ago and would have been madly breeding with him."
Wu Nian did not hear their conversation and was talking to the beautiful girl beside him:
"Amitabha, Benefactor Xia Mei, this humble monk has said that you don't need to help. Besides, men and women should not touch each other. It is a sin, a sin."
The beautiful girl named Xia Mei winked:
"I won't listen, I want to link arms, hee hee. Who told you that you were going to train the disciples of Mount Wutai? I came specifically to watch, but I didn't get to see it. I can't have come for nothing, so I followed you."
"By the way, Wu Nian, you can't train those disciples, so what are you going to do? Are you just going to leave them hanging over there? That doesn't sound like you."
Wu Nian clasped his hands together:
"This humble monk has asked others to train them."
"Aren't you afraid they won't train well?" Xia Mei said.
"Amitabha, no. That is one of this humble monk's best friends. He is also helping with the training. You know him too, it's Zhang Wei."
Mentioning Zhang Wei, Wu Nian's poker face rarely showed a smile:
"This humble monk believes Zhang Wei can train his senior and junior brothers well."
...
On the other side.
It was night.
In Xiamen City, at Wan Ling's apartment.
"Xiao Pei, aren't you scared?"
Wan Ling sat on the living room sofa, leaning tightly against Xiao Pei, her other hand clutching the pendant on her chest.
Even though Xiao Pei had come to accompany Wan Ling to ease her fear, and she had turned on all the lights in the house, making the living room brightly lit, Wan Ling was still scared. Especially when she looked up and saw the digital clock showing 11:50 PM. It was getting closer to midnight, and according to folklore, midnight was the time when ghosts liked to appear the most.
Xiao Pei patted her hand:
"Wan Ling, don't be scared. With Brother Wei here, nothing will happen. And he said he's nearby."
"Really? Is that Brother Wei really that powerful?"
"Yes, Brother Wei is really..."
Before Xiao Pei could finish speaking.
The TV screen in front of them flickered with static, like an old television. Accompanied by the crackling static sound from the TV, all the lights in the house flickered erratically, as if short-circuiting.
The sudden eerie situation caused Wan Ling, who was already on edge, to scream in fear.
"Ah!!!!"
Even Xiao Pei was startled, losing her previous composure.
The next second.
All the lights in the house went out, one after another, like dominoes. The living room plunged into darkness, with only the moonlight from the floor-to-ceiling window casting a faint glow.
It was at this moment.
"Ah!!!"
Wan Ling and Xiao Pei screamed in terror, their faces filled with panic.
The moment the lights went out, five chilling figures appeared around them without warning. Their skin, mottled like a corpse's, and the cold emanating from them, all proved they were not human, but ghosts.
Looking at the grinning smiles on their death-like faces.
Wan Ling was terrified to the extreme. In her panic, she raised her protective amulet, hoping to drive away the lecherous ghosts:
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer!"
In response.
The lecherous ghosts were not only unfazed but their smiles widened:
"It's useless. Your protective amulet has been almost completely eroded by our Yin energy. It can no longer protect you."
One of the ghosts said, its gaze falling on Xiao Pei beside Wan Ling. It licked its rotten lips:
"Heh heh, I never expected this. Tonight, I won't just get one. Now I have an extra bonus. We have a lot of fun tonight. I want to shoot to my heart's content."
With those words.
The lecherous ghosts moved closer to Wan Ling and Xiao Pei. The ghost that had spoken earlier, impatient, reached out to grab Wan Ling.
Just as its hand was about to touch Wan Ling.
[System points +8000 for enhancing Barrett sniper rifle]
As the system prompt sounded.
Bang bang!!!
Two gunshots rang out, startlingly loud. Two meteor-like bullets streaked through the darkness of the night, blasting forward.
Ghost blood splattered like fireworks.
The hand that the lecherous ghost extended towards Wan Ling was hit by one of the bullets. Instantly, its hand was shot off, arcing through the air before hitting the floor, a severed hand.
The lecherous ghost froze.
Looking at the bloody stump where its hand had been.
[Ding! The lecherous ghost is stunned, what's going on? My hand is broken?!]
[Host gains system points +30]
The other ghosts were also stunned. The unexpected situation left them dazed, unable to understand what had happened. It seemed something had shot past, and then their companion's hand was broken.
Instinctively.
They looked towards the smoking spot on the floor. They could see a bullet hole, with a bullet inside.
[Ding! The lecherous ghosts are dumbfounded, bullets? Someone is shooting at us with a gun??]
[Host gains system points +80]
The lecherous ghosts' expressions changed. Although they didn't understand why bullets could harm them when they were ghosts, they knew there was an ambush, and someone nearby was shooting at them with a gun.
[Ding! The lecherous ghosts' expressions change, what the hell, we haven't even shot yet, and we've already been shot at?!]
[Host gains system points +90]
However, before they could find the ambush.
"Ah!!!!"
A piercing scream erupted.
They looked in the direction of the sound. It was the lecherous ghost whose hand had been shot off earlier. It was clutching its crotch and screaming. Its crotch was bloody.
[Ding! The lecherous ghost realizes belatedly, feels the pain in its crotch, and discovers that not only was its hand shot off, but it was also critically hit.]
[Host gains system points +40]
The intense pain and the location of the wound caused the lecherous ghost to collapse on the ground, screaming its lungs out.
[Ding! The lecherous ghost screams, my balls, ah!!! My balls!!! My balls!!!!]
[Host gains system points +50]
At this moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of gunshots echoed continuously. Bullets streaked across the sky, each one precisely hitting the area below the lecherous ghost that was painfully clutching its crotch.
Even though the lecherous ghost was writhing in pain.
Even though the lecherous ghost tried to get up and escape.
But without exception, it was precisely hit.
"Ah!!!!"
Piercing screams echoed through the room.
This scene.
Left the other lecherous ghosts stunned and terrified.
Without time to think about where the ambush was, or what happened to their companion, they turned and ran.
[Ding! The lecherous ghosts are terrified, run!! Run quickly!! There's a sniper, there's a critical hit sniper!!!]
As the system prompt sounded in his mind.
Zhang Wei, who was aiming his gun on the rooftop, murmured:
"Now I kind of understand why ADCs like to build critical strike items, because critical hits, especially on the groin, feel really satisfying."
