I have a Tantric panel

"Oh, you've arrived!"

As soon as he stepped into the training building, a large hand landed on Xia En's shoulder.

Wearing a top hat, Hughes smiled warmly.

But Shane frowned.

"Uncle, your face..."

Yu Ge had a bandage on his forehead that was quite noticeable.

"Oh, it's just a minor injury, a shrapnel grazed me. At most, it'll leave a scar."

He waved his hand, not taking it as a big deal.

"Compared to those colleagues who sacrificed their lives, this minor injury is already very fortunate."

Xia En fell silent for a moment.

This visible wound made him even more aware of the dangers of the Night's Watch.

"Let's go, let's go get our training guns first."

Yu Ge quickly got straight to the point.

Unsure, Xia En asked, "Can't we use [Silent Grip]?"

"The Silent Grip is special."

"My advice is to get used to regular firearms first, and then try using this to fire a shot."

As a novice, Shane chose to follow his uncle's advice.

Yu Ge is very familiar with the procedures at the firing range.

He first went to the front desk to register and then retrieved the ammunition box containing bullets.

He then went to the cabinet next to him and took out a Beaumont Adams revolver used for training.

This is the standard sidearm used by the police.

However, the Webley revolver has already been released and may be phased out in two years.

"Here, hold it and try it."

Hugh casually handed the gun to Xia En.

After taking the pistol, Shane weighed it in his hand and felt it was lighter than the [Silent Grip].

But there is still a sense of security, which makes people feel very at ease.

That's the allure of firearms.

The two men carried the ammunition boxes down the stairs.

The shooting range in this building is located in the basement.

There are six firing positions in total, separated by steel plates.

At the end of each row were cardboard boxes with human figures drawn on them.

The innermost shooting position.

A detective was aiming and firing intently, his posture meticulous.

A series of muffled gunshots rang out.

Yu Ge didn't disturb him, looked at Xia En, and pointed to the ammunition box.

"Do you know how to load a gun?"

"Yes."

When her great-grandmother gave Shane the [Silent Grip], she also gave him a box of bullets.

A few days ago, having nothing to do, he figured out how to load bullets.

It's just... a bit slow.

"Okay, then watch me fire a few shots first?"

Yu Ge walked to the firing position, drew his sidearm from his waist, loaded it, and aimed in one smooth motion.

Followed by.

His demeanor had changed; his easygoing and relaxed air had been replaced by a chilling and ruthless air.

Xia En couldn't help but think about it.

How many enemies did my uncle kill with this gun in the past?

How many evil spirits behind the scenes have you dealt with?

boom! boom! boom!

Gunshots rang out, with a unique pattern and rhythm.

Xia En observed very carefully, mainly focusing on his posture and movements while holding the gun.

He even noticed the slightest tremor in his wrist from the recoil, storing it in the memory palace of his mind.

After the gunfire subsided, the smoke cleared.

Xia En looked at the human-shaped target in the distance.

The bullet holes landed precisely on the target paper, at the center of the forehead and the heart, with the accuracy of a scalpel.

"Good marksmanship."

He praised it sincerely.

Yu Ge casually remarked, "There's no special trick to practicing shooting; it's just about practicing more and shooting more."

"The feel of firing ten, a hundred, or a thousand shots is different each time. As long as you practice enough, you will eventually develop good marksmanship."

"Come on, you try it."

Then, Yu Ge spent some time instructing Shane on his stance and how to hold the gun.

After at least superficially appearing respectable, he nodded to Shane.

Xia En understood immediately and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The bullet was fired, but it did not leave a bullet hole in the target.

The first shot missed.

"No rush, take your time."

Undeterred, Shane fired his gun repeatedly.

Each shot was fired with a pause in between, to allow time for aiming and to feel the recoil.

The first few shots were all off target, barely landing on the edge of the human-shaped target.

But gradually, Shane's [Perception] began to take effect.

[Perception (1)] allows him to see more clearly, aim more accurately, and even vaguely sense the so-called "gun line".

After gradually mastering the relationship between the aiming point and the position of the muzzle, Shane's accuracy improved significantly.

The last three bullets almost all landed on the target's chest area, colliding almost simultaneously.

Although there was an element of luck involved, the progress is clearly visible compared to the initial misses.

"Um?"

Yu Ge's eyelids twitched: "You kid, is this really your first time handling a gun?"

Xia En was very honest: "I've touched it before, but this is the first time I've fired a gun."

"Take a break."

Yu Ge stroked his chin, considering for a moment.

"Perhaps we can try using [Silent Grip] today."

While Shane relaxed his muscles, Yu Ge continued his explanation.

"Your grandmother only gave you a box of regular bullets, right?"

"Yes."

Yu Ge took a small metal box out of his pocket, opened it, and presented it to Xia En.

The bullets in the metal box were clearly different from ordinary bullets.

Its surface gleams with a faint silver light, and the bullet head is engraved with a series of mysterious runes that are linked together.

"This is called the Silver Demon-Slaying Bullet."

Yu Ge picked one up and placed it in his palm.

Xia En looked down and saw what was in his field of vision.

The bullet was surrounded by a layer of silver ethereal field, faintly exuding a sharp and holy quality.

He thought of a problem.

"Is this the only type of bullet that can kill the living dead?"

"That's right."

Hugh explained in a low voice, "Although the living dead may still have biological characteristics, they are essentially evil beings driven by ether."

"Only the Demon-Slaying Bullet can dissolve the etheric core within the living dead, granting them true liberation."

"I see."

Xia En looked enlightened.

Only ether can deal with ether.

Only magic can counter magic.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xia En realized...

If there were other methods, such as directly injecting ether into the undead to destroy their so-called core, it would probably be possible to successfully eliminate them.

The value of this "secret transmission" lies precisely in this.

Yuge closed the tin box and handed it to him: "Grandma asked me to give this to you."

"I was originally planning to wait until you were more familiar with the firearms, but now it seems you're ready to own one."

He paused for a moment, then said, "You can try the Silent Grip."

"But remember, you can only fire one shot with it today."

"Only one shot can be fired?"

Xia En felt a little strange, but still decided to do as instructed.

He knew that behind all sorts of strange and unusual rules, there were often tragic cases.

He took out the [Silent Grip] and loaded and chambered a regular bullet.

Xia En aimed at the target in front of him and slowly pulled the trigger.

clatter--

An extremely faint gunshot rang out, like a muffled sigh, almost imperceptible unless you listened very carefully.

The instant the trigger is pulled.

Xia En noticed that it was different from others.

As if drawn by an invisible force, a stream of ether was drawn out of his body's circulation.

It flows from the palm into the gun, then through the explosion of gunpowder and the transmission of power, it adheres to the bullet at the muzzle and is fired together.

Where the bullet passed, a brief vacuum was torn open in the air, and all sound was swallowed up by this crack.

A small black hole appeared between the eyebrows of the humanoid target.

After that moment of silence.

Xia En suddenly realized what was happening.

That's right, the Silent Grip is special.

It resonated with the ether within the gunman's body, giving the bullet a strange and extraordinary property.

This characteristic can obviously be combined with special bullets.

If ordinary bullets can have this effect, imagine the effect of anti-magic bullets...

Xia En was lost in thought.

It was at this moment that...

The incessant gunfire from the innermost firing position finally ceased.

The detective lowered his pistol and walked towards the two men.
