147 Isn't it a bit strange?
◎Passing clues◎
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qi Qiuxue went to the training ground with others.
She had just been injured and was in very bad physical condition. The training ground was dark and cold, not a place suitable for a wounded person like her to stay for a long time.
But Qi Qiuxue insisted on coming along no matter what, and no one could persuade her, so they had to agree.
"Sister Xue, your wound hasn't healed yet, so you absolutely cannot do any strenuous exercise," Wu Shanyue repeatedly warned, worriedly. "Just watch from the sidelines, but don't go on stage."
"Yes." Liu Ge nodded in response, "No matter what, give priority to your own physical condition."
"According to what you said, Sister Xue, the masked figure even copied Sister Liu's weapon. So, she's probably figured out what kind of weapon I have," Su Wen muttered as they walked. "If that's the case, there's no need for me to hide it. Next time we encounter it, Sister Liu and I can go at it together."
"Don't worry." She didn't want Qi Qiuxue to harm herself by worrying too much about this matter. "We are here."
"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue subconsciously wrapped her coat tightly around her body and said softly, "I understand."
Her condition did not improve despite everyone's comfort.
Everyone looked at each other silently and sighed in unison.
Qi Qiuxue has always been the one with the strongest mental strength among them, the smartest and the most rational, and she always notices many problems that others don't notice.
Faced with her troubles, no one could resolve all her worries. They could only respect her decision, try not to disturb her as much as possible, and leave Qi Qiuxue with appropriate private space.
Li Yiqing placed a soft blanket on the chair and helped Qi Qiuxue sit down.
"Tell me if you need anything, and tell me if you feel uncomfortable anywhere." She leaned over and spoke to Qi Qiuxue in a gentle tone, "Okay?"
Qi Qiuxue responded to her words: "Okay."
Li Yiqing raised his lips and smiled: "Then I'll go."
"Um."
“…”
The first to take the stage were Wu Shanyue and Su Wen.
Qi Qiuxue sat aside and watched the two of them fighting back and forth, evenly matched. In the past few days, there had been frequent incidents, and everyone felt like they had a heavy stone weighing on their hearts, so they had to train much more seriously than before.
Wu Shanyue's shooting speed was extremely fast, so if you wanted to dodge her bullets, you had to shoot even faster. Su Wen tried his best to dodge while trying to get close to her, and he was extremely focused.
Perhaps in order to use up Wu Shanyue's bullets as quickly as possible, Su Wen would sometimes make some fake moves to confuse the enemy. Her feet were very steady, and it seemed that her body was about to move to the side, but in fact her feet were still standing still. Wu Shanyue would occasionally be disturbed by her behavior, and her attacks would fail.
Su Wen thus got the opportunity to move one step closer, but Wu Shanyue, who had reacted, was also difficult to deal with. Before Su Wen could swing his sword at her, she took action first. The bullet deflected Su Wen's sword, and she followed closely and kicked sideways.
Seeing this, Su Wen quickly leaned back and avoided Wu Shanyue's attack with an incredible arc.
Until now, her feet are still steady.
The two fought for a long time without a clear winner, but Wu Shanyue's strength was exhausted first and he raised his hand to call for a stop.
So Li Yiqing and Liu Ge came on stage for a new round of practice. They were the oldest people in the facility except for their mother, and they were relatively experienced. The fight was very intense.
Just like everyone has their own favorite weapons, everyone also has their own favorite moves and reactions. Qi Qiuxue summarized hers in detail during the twenty-one repeated battles with Li Yiqing that night, and now, she forced herself to memorize others' as soon as possible.
Summarize, organize, learn, and then apply.
“…”
Qi Qiuxue watched them train quietly, and at the same time she was replaying the battle with the masked man in her mind. Gradually, a strange feeling filled her heart.
——She saw the shadow of the masked man in everyone.
The pain and frustration were unforgettable. Even though the incident happened suddenly and Qi Qiuxue's mind was in a mess, the battle with the masked man was like engraved in her mind, and she would never forget it.
She remembered every attack and every stab from the opponent, its movements, techniques, and reactions. Qi Qiuxue had reviewed them in her mind thousands of times, so when she saw others using the same techniques at a certain moment, she felt a strong shock.
Qi Qiuxue stood up suddenly, and the chair was accidentally bumped into by her movement, hitting the ground with a loud "clang".
Li Yiqing and Liu Ge stopped training upon hearing the sound and looked in her direction: "Axue, what's wrong..."
They didn't finish their words.
Qi Qiuxue quickly stepped forward and spoke in a rare, uncalm tone, saying to Liu Ge in a firm tone, "Do what you just did again!"
Liu Ge was confused by her: "Which one?"
"How did you dodge Sister Qing's attack just now?"
"Are you talking about this?" Although Liu Ge didn't understand what she was going to do, she still cooperated and demonstrated it to her again. She ran a few steps and kicked the white wall in front of her. She jumped with the help of the reaction force of the wall, and completed a beautiful somersault in the air to avoid the oncoming arrow.
After landing, she kept her left foot still, took a step back with her right foot, and dodged Li Yiqing's attack again while rotating her left foot inward. Her right foot then stepped back again, and she came behind Li Yiqing.
This was the time when Li Yiqing's back defense was the weakest, and it was also the best time to attack. Liu Ge took advantage of the situation and drew his knife, and the blade was against Li Yiqing's heart at a rapid speed.
If Li Yiqing had not reacted in time, the blade would have been enough to kill her if it had moved forward just a little bit.
Qi Qiuxue watched this scene silently. Before Liu Ge drew her knife, the masked man made exactly the same moves as her, but at that time Qi Qiuxue sensed the approaching danger and avoided the opponent's attack in an extremely awkward posture, thereby widening the distance between the two of them. So the masked man immediately changed his approach and used other methods to attack her again.
Its next attack, if I had to summarize it, was a combination of Su Wen and Liu Ge's moves.
It is impossible to copy not only their weapons but also their usual combat modes.
“…”
Qi Qiuxue fell into a long silence, and then, in the silence, she made a somewhat risky decision.
"We only have enough food for two more meals, right?" she asked suddenly.
"Yeah." Su Wen, who was in charge of cooking, nodded in response. "Sister Liu, Shanyue, and I have made a plan. We will go out together to look for ingredients tomorrow morning."
My mother told me that the forest in front of the facility is foggy year-round. But after this lesson, the three of them decided to be more cautious when going out. "We've roughly calculated the time and will wait until the fog is less dense before going out. We will also bring back as much food as possible and will not go out unless necessary in the future."
"No need." Qi Qiuxue shook her head and said, "You guys should still stay home and take care of mom tomorrow. I'll go by myself."
She had a premonition that the masked man might appear again tomorrow. Even though Qi Qiuxue still could not directly determine his true identity, as she came into contact with him more, she would gain more and more information.
——It’s a bit strange, isn’t it?
Although they seemed to be on opposite sides, Qi Qiuxue inexplicably felt that it seemed to be quietly conveying some clues to her.
