24 Hours to Save the World

Chapter 56: threaten

Views:

Zhu Shijiu kept thinking about what he could do.

Honestly speaking, it was quite difficult for him to kill a man in black with his current archery skills. His peak performance before this just turned into a sloppy battle with an unknown outcome.

If he had the same steady and accurate archery skills as Coach Du, he would definitely be able to achieve greater results.

But now he didn't have to worry, because he directly pulled Coach Du over. If he had Du Fei's help, he would definitely be able to kill the group of men in black at least once.

At about six o'clock in the evening, Zhu Shijiu entered the park with the Moying bow and matching arrows.

At six o'clock in the evening, the park was cool and the people were coming and going, and it was quite lively.

A young couple was walking and chatting in the evening breeze.

"… So your chess club comes to this park every night to practice archery?"

Next to Zhu Shijiu was Du Fei, who was wearing casual clothes with her hands in her pockets and carrying a bow bag. Zhu Shijiu had invited her to the park, saying that she would come to guide the new students in their chess club in archery practice in the evening.

Du Fei knew this park. There were a lot of people there at night and the atmosphere was quite lively, so she was not worried about what would happen to her - of course, a girl still had to be prepared when meeting a strange man alone at night. She had a bottle of pepper spray and a stun gun in her pocket, and she had practiced a little fighting, so she dared to come to the appointment.

If it was really just practicing archery, it would be fine, but if Zhu Shijiu had any bad intentions, she would definitely not be polite.

Zhu Shijiu had no idea what was going on in Du Fei's mind. He was still thinking about the battle that was bound to take place soon.

After hearing Du Fei's question, he corrected it after a while: "It's not 'you', but 'we'. Coach Du, you are now also a member of the chess club."

Du Fei did not comment.

"But it's not every night. We come here occasionally to practice archery, and we don't get together often. But today, after hearing that a provincial champion is coming to teach us archery, everyone said they wanted to get together."

"Why do you practice archery at night?"

"Because everyone is in school or work during the day, we can only practice archery at night."

There are students among them... Du Fei relaxed his vigilance a little.

She continued to ask: "Why choose the park instead of the archery hall? Our archery hall is open until 10 o'clock in the evening. If you can't find a place to practice archery, you can come to the archery hall. Besides, the light in the park is not good, which will affect your archery condition."

"Because practicing archery outside saves money."

Zhu Shijiu's matter-of-fact answer left Du Fei stunned for a moment, but then he developed some good feelings towards these members whom he had never met before.

They practiced archery outside to save money, but they did not hesitate to raise 5,000 yuan a month for her to teach archery... These people are too enthusiastic about archery. She was a little touched and wanted to return part of the money.

... Of course, it was just a thought. She would not be willing to do it if she really wanted to.

"Coach Du, do you know any archery experts in the archery circle who are better than you?"

"Hey, I've long left the professional circle, how can I know any big shots?"

Du Fei's answer was within Zhu Shijiu's expectations. Zhu Shijiu was not disappointed. He smiled and complimented him, "I thought that big shots have their own circle of big shots. Coach Du, you are such a great archer. It should be easy for you to get along with other archery big shots."

"No, no." Du Fei said modestly. Perhaps feeling embarrassed, she turned her head and looked around.

"By the way...are we getting further and further out of the way?"

"Oh, it's always like this here. We usually practice archery in the southeast corner of the park, where no one will disturb us."

Now the two of them were walking on a path paved with stone slabs, surrounded by green forests on both sides. Although the environment seemed very quiet, Du Fei began to feel a little nervous.

I don't know why, but when I met Zhu Shijiu at the park, he was very good at chatting with her. He always caught the point that interested her the most and continued the conversation. Sometimes they would even go further to talk about topics other than archery. I always felt very comfortable chatting with Zhu Shijiu.

Because of this, she gradually relaxed her inner guard and unknowingly walked with Zhu Shijiu to this remote path.

Is it too late to go back now

She thought to herself.

A call interrupted Du Fei's thoughts.

"...Coach Du...Coach Du?"

"Ah, what?" Du Fei was so focused on the surroundings that he ignored Zhu Shijiu beside him. After realizing what was going on, Du Fei asked in panic, "What did you say just now?"

"I didn't say anything just now." Zhu Shijiu shook his head and looked at Du Fei with a worried look on his face. "Coach Du, why are you distracted? Are you feeling unwell?"

Du Fei was stunned for a moment and then said: "No, it's... that..."

She couldn't find any excuse for a while.

The atmosphere was awkward.

Zhu Shijiu suddenly slapped his head and said, "Oh, look at my brain! Coach Du, you must be scared, right? After all, a girl meeting a strange man at night, and in such a remote place, she will definitely be worried! Blame me, blame me."

Du Fei was so embarrassed that she waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, of course not! I just... caught a cold in the evening breeze."

"Is that so? Coach Du, you don't look like..."

Du Fei interrupted Zhu Shijiu: "No! I just caught a cold! Really!"

What a joke, she had collected the money and was almost there, but she turned back because she was afraid? She felt that she would be a terrible person if she did that. And Zhu Shijiu always seemed to be thinking about her, which made her feel that she was making a big deal out of nothing and felt a little guilty.

"Are you feeling cold?"

Zhu Shijiu's concerned eyes made Du Fei's face slightly hot.

The next second, Zhu Shijiu took off his coat and put it on Du Fei before she could react.

"Coach Du, I'll give you your coat."

There were no extra words of concern, only actions. Zhu Shijiu pretended to be very calm, but Du Fei's heartbeat quickened instantly.

—The coat, which still carried her body temperature, gave her a warm feeling, and she suddenly felt dizzy.

What's going on

What's wrong with this person

To be honest, Du Fei now feels that the surrounding environment is no longer so scary, but rather quiet and somewhat ambiguous.

The scene of Zhu Shijiu naturally taking off his coat and putting it on her was still echoing in her mind. In the scene, he looked like a real gentleman, and his behavior was not at all artificial.

But...the two of them have only known each other for less than half a day.

Although she seemed to get along well with this man, she didn't actually have that kind of thought in her mind.

Could it be that this person is interested in her

Du Fei couldn't help but think so. After all, Zhu Shijiu's actions just now were too easy to arouse people's imagination.

Just when Du Fei was daydreaming.

Zhu Shijiu suddenly said, "By the way, Coach Du, the other members shouldn't be here yet, why don't we go to the woods to warm up first?"

"W-Warm up?!"

Du Fei screamed at first, then saw Zhu Shijiu pick up the bow bag.

"Oh, so it's just a warm-up. Ahahaha."

Zhu Shijiu looked puzzled: "Coach Du?"

"Nothing! Nothing! Okay! Let's warm up first!" Du Fei's face flushed, and she opened her bow bag awkwardly, not daring to look at the man next to her.

Zhu Shijiu found it a little funny. Although he had deliberately created this atmosphere, he almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Du Fei's flustered look.

He had long noticed Du Fei's nervousness and vigilance. In order to eliminate this vigilance, Zhu Shijiu kept chatting with Du Fei, trying to make her relax her guard.

There was an effect, but it was not great. Especially when the surrounding environment gradually became less populated, Du Fei exuded a feeling of tension all over his body.

Zhu Shijiu had no other choice but to resort to this last resort. As expected, Du Fei's guard was completely shattered by the ambiguous atmosphere he created. This made the next thing to do easier.

The two assembled their bows, and Zhu Shijiu brought Du Fei into the woods.

At this moment, Du Fei was no longer vigilant. Instead, his face turned red and even his steps were a little stiff.

"Coach Du, are you feeling well? Do you want to take a break?"

Zhu Shijiu's caring words sounded like hypnosis to Du Fei, making Du Fei, who was already feeling quite helpless, even more stiff.

Du Fei felt that his voice was a little distorted: "No, don't worry! I can do it!"

"Really?" Zhu Shijiu confirmed.

"real!"

"That's good."

After saying this, Zhu Shijiu pulled out an arrow from the quiver and naturally drew the bow and pulled the string.

—Then aimed at Du Fei.

“Coach Du, don’t move or scream, just cooperate with me. Believe me, at this distance, even a novice like me won’t miss.”

Du Fei was stunned.

Under the cold moonlight, the two men confronted each other - no, it should not be said as "confrontation", it should be said as unilateral threat.

Zhu Shijiu threatened Du Fei with a bow.

The bowstring was equipped with hunting arrows, which could definitely penetrate a person's hard skull at close range. Although Du Fei herself had not tested it, she had seen her grandfather hunting in the forest with the Moying bow and hunting arrows when she was a child.

No beast can withstand the power of an arrow.

All the beauty in Du Fei's heart disappeared without a trace. Any ordinary person who encountered such a thing would just stand there in a daze with a blank mind. She was a little better and could still think about the reasons why Zhu Shijiu did this.

"… Why?"

Du Fei asked, his hands and feet cold.

Zhu Shijiu approached Du Fei who dared not move step by step, and said helplessly: "Coach Du, there was a road surveillance outside just now, so I couldn't behave too abnormally. But now there is no surveillance equipment in this woods, and there are only two of us, so I dare to prepare you to tell the truth. But I am worried that you will leave halfway through listening, so I threaten you like this."

"I'm going to say something like this that may make you think I'm crazy, so please believe me. But if you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. We'll both die in a little while... Of course, I'm also prepared for you not to believe me, so I'll just use a different method next time."

Du Fei looked at the man who was mumbling something inexplicably, and calmly reached for the quiver at his waist.

brush!

Zhu Shijiu shot an arrow, which brushed Du Fei's face and flew into the woods behind.

Good opportunity!

Du Fei, who was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, was about to draw his arrow.

However, Zhu Shijiu's movements were faster than hers. He was extremely skilled in drawing the arrow. Before she could draw the arrow out of the quiver and draw the bow, he had already put the arrow on the bow! When Zhu Shijiu drew the bow again and aimed it at her head, her heart sank.

"Coach Du, I sincerely advise you not to move."
