"Now we are going to conduct a shooting contest. By default, two pistols will be fired at the same time. First, roll the shooting points. Only when the sum of the luck and agility points of one party exceeds the shooting points of the other party can the party be exempted from injury. If the sum of the luck and agility points is less than the shooting points, the injury status will be determined based on the difference in the points."
On the second floor of the Prophet Association, the tense situation made everyone subconsciously hold their breath. The scene of guns being drawn and shot at each other on the desktop looked very much like a duel scene from the old days.
The three princesses who were familiar with gun duels in the old times knew that even in the modern era with advanced gun manufacturing technology, it was almost impossible to kill the enemy with one shot without any preparation. In any case, Shade would probably be shot several times until one of them was completely incapacitated due to the injury.
"Throw the shooting points first."
Following the words of the Secret Keeper, Professor Ans, who had lost his companion, picked up the dice. He knew that the current situation was very wrong. Everything made sense, but it was just wrong. However, since he had chosen to give up the mission and prepare to escape, he had to kill another character in the story.
Clang clang ~
Under the nervous gaze of the church's ring sorcerers, the middle-aged man threw an almost impossible number:
"100 points."
Ajelina held her sister's arm tightly and felt that her sister was equally nervous.
Professor Ans exhaled slowly, then lowered his head and read the contents of the parchment, looking for bonuses that could be used:
"Jogori Deus, the stalker in the dark, has a basic shooting skill bonus of 67 points. The Secret Keeper-level relic, the Mystic Eye, grants a shooting bonus of 40 points, and the .45 semi-automatic pistol has a shooting bonus of 30 points."
He paused, his lips trembling:
"Because the Night Stalker Chogori Deus was seriously injured, affecting the stability of his hand, his shooting score was reduced by 34 points, and the symbol 'Broken Bugle' added 12 points. The total shooting score is 215."
Yin Luna breathed a sigh of relief. The value of 215 was not very high.
She also rolled the dice, and when the clanging dice became stable, the seventeen-year-old girl began to read the parchment:
"Points: 71, basic shooting skill bonus: 61, Luger revolver shooting bonus: 24, symbol bonus: 10."
"Mr. Hamilton is a very good shooter."
Someone in the crowd muttered something. Yin Luna held her breath and concentrated, ignoring the list of unreadable content, and found the barely acceptable items:
"Character special ability · Special auxiliary aiming skills, added value..."
She saw that the value was jumping rapidly, just like the "basic investigation" just now, ranging from two digits to three digits. In the end, Yin Luna chose to read out a certain number directly when it appeared:
"50. Total shooting points: 216."
Shade's total shooting score was just slightly higher than that of the seriously injured first-ring warlock. Everyone agreed with this result. After all, it was normal for a detective to have good shooting skills. Yin Luna's eyes swept across the "Shelter of Night" and "Darkness's Dark Vision" behind. She knew that the challenge was not over yet. She had to roll the agility and luck to know who was shot.
Professor Ans picked up the two dice and continued to throw them. This time, he threw each dice twice:
"Luck 42 points, Agility... 3 points."
The middle-aged man took a deep breath, with a strange expression on his face. He muttered softly:
"Luck is really conserved."
“It’s superstition.”
Yin Luna said what Xia De often said, but Professor Ans ignored her:
"The character's basic luck is 65 points, the injured state has a 40-point dexterity penalty, the 'Inspiration Potion' provides a 10-point dexterity bonus, the character trait Night Walker provides a 21-point luck bonus, and the spell 'Crisis Sense' provides a 0.6-fold dexterity bonus..."
Clang clang ~
He rolled the dice again:
"45 x 0.6 = 27 points."
"The magic 'Protection from Arrow Missing' provides a 1.5 times luck bonus..."
Clang clang ~
"30 x 1.5 = 45 points. Total points for Luck and Agility, 173 points... ...less than Hamilton's shooting points of 216. He was shot."
Yin Luna smiled, picked up the dice and threw them. Her voice was very calm, and people admired her psychological quality:
"The dice roll has a luck score of 53 and agility score of 47. The symbol bonus is 10 points and the character's basic luck is 97 points. The champion of the big city player is indeed a lucky guy."
Yin Luna said, her mental arithmetic skills were quite good, the total value of these four items was already 207, and she only needed 8 points to completely dodge the enemy's bullets. She scanned the parchment, selecting the abilities or traits that Shade could name, which made her feel like she was picking cheap vegetables in the market, because there were so many, so she quickly found the target:
"Professional detective provides a 10-point agility bonus. Shad Hamilton's total luck and agility points are 217 points."
Yin Luna and Professor Dion both looked at the keeper in the black robe, and the hoarse voice in the darkness gave the result:
"In the dark night, the brave men drew their guns and shot at each other. This was a real contest. The darkness blessed Shad Hamilton, and the bullet from his injured opponent did not hit him. The young detective pulled the trigger steadily, and the bullet hit the lung of the stalker in the dark, Georgy Deus. This was a minor injury, but since he had been seriously injured before, he temporarily lost his ability to move after this round."
Yin Luna smiled and was about to direct the next move when she heard the keeper continue:
"Two consecutive gunshots in the silent night went unnoticed because of the effect of the Silencing Spell. But both Shad Hamilton and Georgy Deus knew that they had little time left. Jack the Thief was about to complete his theft. Those who wanted to gain merit by catching criminals had to act quickly.
This is the keeper urging the two men in the "duel" to get the story back on track. After all, the theme of this dice story collection is to catch a thief, not two men dueling at night. The rules that Yin Luna got after sitting down just now mentioned that if the theme of the story is ignored for a long time, then the story will change terribly.
"Jogori Deus uses a spell!"
Professor Ans spoke before Yin Luna did. Sweat was pouring down his forehead, but there was still a firm light in his eyes:
"The Chosen One, maybe you were lucky this time, but I won't lose to you next time."
"What else do you want to do?"
Yin Luna asked suspiciously, and the middle-aged professor shook his head:
"Ordinary people can't fight against a ring wizard. Do you think I didn't anticipate this situation when I asked him to kill Hamilton? I know that Rejade's Hamilton is a detective, proficient in shooting, reconnaissance, and fighting, but the loss of the ring wizard's ability to move does not mean that he can't continue to fight. Chogori Deus used the spell-moving object to snatch Shad Hamilton's gun!"
He spoke quickly:
"By the way, this spell was originally prepared for Jack the Thief. Deus's moving objects were affected by the relics. Even though he is a first-ring, his power of moving objects with his mind far exceeds that of an adult ox. The only drawback is that it must be used in a stationary state, with concentration and preparation in advance. Fortunately, the conditions are met now."
This is indeed amazing. When Shade was at the first level, the power of the basic spell "Move Object" could only move a small piece of paper. Even now, this spell of his is not enough to wrestle with a plowing ox.
"Let's have a power confrontation!"
Yin Luna said hurriedly, and was about to throw the dice, but she didn't expect the keeper to interrupt her:
"Perhaps it was because of the previous exchange of fire that Shad Hamilton was overly frightened, or perhaps it was because he had never thought that an invisible force would snatch his gun. The lucky ordinary mortal Shad Hamilton, who had never seen the mysterious and the extraordinary (note), did not resist at this time. The spell - moving objects was used directly and successfully, and Shad Hamilton's revolver was obtained by Chogori Deus."
"Shad Hamilton conducts..."
Yin Luna hurriedly wanted to give Xia De the next instruction, but it was obvious that she couldn't interrupt the keeper's words:
"Jogori Deus, the stalker of the night, acted first."
"shot!"
Professor Ans said immediately, but his subsequent judgment was a bit strange.
"The guns that were hastily snatched were unfamiliar to the stalker in the dark, Chogori Deus. In order to successfully fire the gun, he had to make three lucky judgments to determine whether there was a bullet in the gun, whether he knew how to use this type of revolver, and whether Shad Hamilton would immediately return fire. If the sum of the three points was greater than 99, he could fire normally and then make a confrontation judgment with his opponent."
It is easy to add up the points three times to more than 99, after all, there are other points added. Professor Ans immediately picked up two dice and prepared to throw them. He did not notice Yin Luna frowning slightly across from him, as if she had thought of something, nor did he notice that the red-haired princess in the dark pursed her lips to prevent herself from smiling:
"Shad can't just stand there because of the 'Move Objects' spell. He must have changed..."
Clang clang ~
Points 1.
Clang clang ~
Points 1.
Clang clang ~
Points 1.
"Um?"
Professor Ans stood there in a daze, feeling that this story was becoming increasingly strange. Although it made sense, it was strange.
He looked at his unconscious companion and suspected that he had temporarily switched sides to the church. Everyone in the church was also surprised that the professor of the Truth Society had such bad luck.
He didn't have the chance to add extra points. A hoarse and cold voice rang out from the darkness. At the same time, everyone present seemed to hear the sound of gunfire:
"All three rolls were 1 points. According to the rule of 'three consecutive 1 points, the result is considered a big failure', and the story character suffered a bad luck penalty. Therefore, the night stalker Chogori Deus was hit by a ricochet bullet from the pistol. Because he was already seriously injured and unable to move, the attack ignored dodge, luck and defense, and the night stalker died."
"Miss Pavone said after the Lakeview Manor banquet that no matter how clear the probability is, it cannot defeat fate..."
Professor Ans, who was wearing a neat suit, fell to the ground after the gunshot. The parchment scroll, which represented the identity of the stalker in the dark, was ignited by the flames during the fall, and only ashes were left when it fell into the darkness.
Ajelina was shaking with excitement, Leisia pursed her lips and smiled, and Princess Margaret was also excited about this wonderful story, especially since Shad had helped her before.
"Maybe I should contact that detective again, he's really amazing."
The princess of the Southern Kingdom said in her heart that she was sure that the three consecutive times were definitely related to the detective who had demonstrated powerful strength.
Yin Luna was the only one sitting at the table under the light. The 17-year-old girl tried hard not to laugh. She held the parchment in one hand and supported her chin with the other, staring at the table decoration with a frown, but she couldn't help but smile faintly.
This smile seems so calm and confident to people.
I don't know who started to applaud first, and then there were whispers of praise amid the applause:
"It's really wonderful, worthy of being Yin Luna Bei Yasi."
Although people don't know how she did it, the admiration came completely from the heart.
