“But with that, I had exposed my location. That Haihe Military University guy found out where I was hiding, so he fired a shot at me first.”

“As for that person I missed, his response was quick… extremely quick. In that very instant, he finished off that Haihe Military University guy.”

“We both were eliminated like that. I guess you can say we were lured out.”

After Zhu Yuan finished speaking, Lu Yimei’s brows furrowed deeply.

Lu Yibin revealed a look of disbelief. “Those last two gunshots we heard at the end, that was both of you getting hit. They nearly sounded at the same time. According to what you’re saying, when that Haihe Military University guy fired at you, he exposed his location too. There was less than a second between those two shots…”

“In less than a second, the person who lured you hit that Haihe Military University guy?”

Lu Yimei shook her head. “I don’t believe it’s Gu Qingjiu.”

She determinedly said right away, “It’s impossible for her to do that! I saw her train before. When she was hitting a moving target, her response time was at least two seconds and above.”

“But don’t forget, that’s when she was aiming for the bullseye.”

Lu Yibin voiced his disagreement. “How can you compare the surface area of a shooting target to a human? A human has a much larger surface area than the entire shooting target. Moreover, it was at an up-close distance.”

Lu Yimei’s countenance changed.

The members’ countenance changed as well. Lu Yixin couldn’t resist butting into the conversation. “That means, the issue isn’t whether Qingjiu can hit the target, but how fast her response was! In less than a second, that Haihe Military University fellow didn’t even get to dodge before he was finished off.

“But she didn’t shoot at Zhu Yuan. With this person’s response speed, it’s impossible that he didn’t have the time to shoot at Zhu Yuan. Unless she realized that Zhu Yuan is from the National Military University of China.

“The only reason this person didn’t fire at Zhu Yuan was that she belongs to the same school as him!

“In our department, there’s only one newbie right now, and that is Gu Qingjiu. She’s the only one we don’t understand. Sister, you know it very clearly—both you and Brother have this response speed. But in the darkness, neither of you can achieve that! None of us here can achieve that!”

After Lu Yixin spoke, everyone fell into a daze.

They had known that when Gu Qingjiu entered, Instructor Xiong said she was a genius.

But everyone only thought that Gu Qingjiu was on par with them.

After all, all of them who managed to enter the Shooting Department were outstanding talents.

But if Gu Qingjiu was indeed the one behind all this tonight, her level of talent was truly terrifying.

In the darkness, where one’s vision was impaired, she had the guts to lure others to fire at her, and also could distinguish if the other party was a teammate or an opponent. Plus, she could finish off someone in less than a second based on the sound alone.

How goddamn terrifyingly sharp were her senses for her to achieve that?

She was treating this place as her playground!

Lu Yimei was stunned as well. If this person truly was Gu Qingjiu, their department had been too lax in the way they groomed her.

“Zhu Yuan, fall back in first!”

Lu Yimei was a Commander, after all, so she calmed down very quickly.

She glanced at Lu Yixin, and she said, “This is merely your speculation. We can’t take it for real. It’s hard to say if there’s someone like that in the other two schools. After all, National Defense University is most likely to groom such a talent. We’ll find out everything after the competition ends.”

Ultimately, she still didn’t quite believe it.
