Chapter 346: 268, True and False

“`

“Unable to judge the level,” Lu Ya replied.

“How is it possible that you can’t make a judgment?” Li Si asked in confusion in the group chat, “With such high-intensity combat, one’s strength would definitely be revealed, right? Like speed, for example, or strength. If he’s an Awakener, then his abilities would also become apparent.”

To everyone, the incident on Xingshu Road seemed so huge, with so many casualties, that it must have been an incredibly fierce battle.

Yet Lu Ya dismissed the idea with disdain, “He was using a sniper rifle, single-handedly crushed dozens of people, and forced everyone to hide behind utility poles, how do you tell me to judge strength? All I can make out is that he was shooting from the rooftop of the Kai Lai Hotel, roughly over 900 meters away from the target area. A sniper like that, at such a distance with an anti-materiel rifle, even a B-Class Expert would die if they didn’t dodge the bullet trajectory in time.”

“Wait, are you saying he was alone?” Li Si was stunned for a moment, “The photo sent by Chuang Wang, was it really made by a single person? One person killed that many?”

“Yes,” replied Lu Ya.

Li Si was shocked, “Then has no one gotten close to him?”

“There was someone,” Lu Ya responded, “I saw someone sneaking towards the direction of the Kai Lai Hotel, but then there was no further news from them.”

“In other words, those who have seen him are all dead,” Li Si deduced.

Lu Ya knew that Qing Chen had encountered enemies on the rooftop, but the problem was, he didn’t get a good look.

At that moment, he had just run up to the rooftop and was about to lift his binoculars when that terrifying sniper had him in their sights. If it weren’t for his quick reflexes, he probably would have died there too.

Every time he thought about this incident, Lu Ya felt an irritation in his heart…

At that moment, Lu Ya even thought the opponent might be an A-Class expert, considering how sensitive they were to his presence.

That kind of perception was something only A-Class experts had.

However, after pondering it, he figured the likelihood of the sniper being A-Class wasn’t high because if they were truly A-Class, they wouldn’t need to resort to such long-range sniping tactics.

Nevertheless, the information Lu Ya revealed was very significant: a sniper capable of accurately hitting targets over 900 meters away could kill a B-Class Expert.

Any organization that possessed such a sniper would easily earn a place amongst the Time Travelers.

Because it was an ability to kill with one shot.

Now came the question, asked by Chuang Wang, “Is there anyone in the group who has been a soldier? I want to know, how long does it take for the military to train such a sniper?”

“Three years.”

In the group, an ID “Jing Shan” that seldom spoke said, “At least three years to develop the capacity to dominate the battlefield. There are indeed such people in the circle of Time Travelers, as far as I remember, they should be in Kyushu.”

Suddenly, many started speculating that Jing Shan was a former soldier, and such individuals were now mostly concentrated in Kunlun and Kyushu.

Having people from Kunlun and Kyushu in the group wasn’t strange at all.

Chuang Wang asked, “Since snipers are so hard to train, then you should also know, it’s only been just over two months since we traveled here. Even if he started training from the very first day, he definitely wouldn’t cut it, which greatly narrows down the range of identities for the sniper.”

In this domestic environment, how could Ordinary People have the chance to become snipers? Thus, it was highly probable that this sniper was a military figure, of a more advanced age.

Here, everyone missed a piece of information, namely Qing Chen’s learning capabilities, as well as the ‘Mysterious World’ where ‘moral influence’ is exercised.

Consequently, everyone’s speculations began to stray off course.

Students like Qing Chen were instead the first to be ruled out.

Li Si became curious, “Could it be that Kunlun and Kyushu have gone to war? Otherwise, why would they use a sniper!”

Jing Shan replied again, “No.”

The group fell silent.

At this point, another photo was sent out.

Yue Er, “I found a photo posted by a netizen on my end. Good thing I screenshot it quickly because it has now been deleted.”

Deleted meant that it couldn’t be verified anymore, and no one knew who took it.

In the photo, the Chen Siheng that Qing Chen had been controlling at the time was just getting attacked, and faintly, the group could make out the blurry figures of two people, one in front and one behind, standing on the rooftop. The person behind the sniper had raised an arm, appearing to hold a gun.

The photo was very blurry, but one thing could be roughly discerned: the sniper was under someone’s control.

“The sniper is dead? Isn’t that a bit hasty? Didn’t he have any protection around him, allowing someone to get so close,” Li Si wondered curiously.

Then, something unexpected happened. Huan Yu actively spoke up in the group, “He’s not dead.”

After those three words, the ID Huan Yu fell silent again.

Everyone suddenly realized that one of the parties involved in tonight’s battle might very well be Huan Yu!

And it was highly likely that they were on the losing side!

The next moment, Zhang San, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, asked, “Actually, aren’t all the photos taken by you guys, pretending to be screenshots from netizens, but you were at the scene at the time. Tell us what happened afterward.”

Yue Er, “Mine was really found online. As for whether Chuang Wang’s was or wasn’t, I don’t know.”

Chuang Wang’s teeth ached, “You’re just clearing your own name, what’s the deal? Can’t there be a bit of camaraderie in the group? Aren’t we discussing important matters right now? Huan Yu is known to be the holder of the Devil’s Stamp, and his sudden appearance saying the sniper isn’t dead clearly indicates he knows the inside story. So whoever has been having a fierce showdown with this holder recently is most likely the main character of tonight’s events.”
