"Don't take this one. It's too heavy, and it's not flexible at all." Li Huowang took the rebar spear from Qian Fu's hand, then turned to look at Wu Qi nearby.
"Fifth Sis, didn't those guys make us seize a bunch of weapons before? Bring them all out."
Hearing Li Huowang's words, Wu Qi used a key to open the storage cabinet above the toilet and piled all the previously seized items onto the table.
Li Huowang reached out for two hefty pistols. These guns were a bit different from the ones in TV dramas; their stocks were very long and looked like they could hold a lot of bullets.
After weighing them lightly in his hand, Li Huowang raised his chin toward Qing Wanglai. "You should have some time now, right? Teach me how to use a gun."
Li Huowang had just been unable to use a gun before, but that didn't mean he didn't understand the value of firearms.
A gun is fast beyond seven paces; within seven paces, it's both fast and accurate—that wasn't just empty talk.
He didn't know what the gun corresponded to, whether it was a Sighting's use of the Heavenly Dao or some weapon of a Sighting.
But Li Huowang understood one thing, and that was enough: this thing could kill his enemies, no matter what they were.
"Um, Li Huowang, we're going to negotiate, not to have a shootout." Qing Wanglai looked at the table full of weapons and said helplessly.
"Just because we say it's negotiations doesn't mean it will be. With these things, the chances of successful talks might even be higher."
"Sigh, we have their people in our hands, so their willingness to negotiate this time is very high."
"Why are you saying so much? Teach me how to use a gun. What, you're holding back even on something like this?" Li Huowang said to Qing Wanglai in front of him.
But as he watched, Li Huowang's expression suddenly grew serious. Holding the two guns, he walked up to Qing Wanglai, staring intently at his face with utmost persistence, scrutinizing it carefully and comparing it to the Sightings he remembered from before.
Suddenly, Li Huowang's pupils contracted to pinpoints. "Zhuge Yuan? Qing Wanglai? You're... you're the Three Pure Ones!"
"My god, this guy's completely lost it. You're right not to teach him how to use a gun." The others quickly gathered around, holding Li Huowang back a few steps and taking the guns from his hands.
"What are you doing? I'm not crazy!" Li Huowang irritably shook off the hands steadying him with force. If he hadn't been so shocked just now, he never would've blurted out what was on his mind.
They thought he was having an episode just because he'd spoken the truth, but these people had no idea what the real world was truly like.
"Wait... the other Sightings should know that Qing Wanglai is the Three Pure Ones. Why are they acting like this?" Li Huowang's face flickered with uncertainty as he looked at the others.
He was over here, so at this moment in the White Jade Capital, why were the other Sightings surrounding him? What event was this a reflection of?
"It's fine, everything's fine." Yang Na stood in front of Li Huowang. "He's taken his meds. Just a few more treatments, and he'll be better soon."
Wu Qi leaned her back against the wall and let out a deep sigh. "What kind of people do I have around me? Not a single normal one."
Hearing this, Li Huowang gave up on explaining. No matter what he said, they would always twist his words.
In the future, if he wanted to communicate with them about anything, he'd have to do it in the way of this projection. As long as the big picture was uniting against the Dharma Sect and the Child God, the rest could be set aside.
"Qing Wanglai, Chen Hongyu was right before. Think about it carefully—what if this is a trap? If we don't prepare thoroughly, what if they wipe us all out?"
Hearing Li Huowang's words, the others fell silent, looking at him in confusion. What was wrong with this guy? He kept flipping like this.
"Don't worry." Qing Wanglai patiently explained to Li Huowang, "Since I agreed to negotiate, I've naturally prepared everything properly. You don't need to worry."
"Good, that's all I needed to hear. Now teach me how to use a gun."
"Didn't I just say not to worry? Why do you still want to learn to use a gun?" Qing Wanglai seemed a bit troubled by Li Huowang's request.
"I'm not worried about the negotiations, but I have to worry about trouble afterward. One more skill means one more path. Why are you being so stingy and not teaching me?"
Li Huowang stared intently at Qing Wanglai's demeanor, trying to figure out why the other man refused to teach him how to use a gun.
"What Sighting is Qing Wanglai? Why is he wary of me? Does a gun like this reflect something specific?"
"Because this thing isn't as simple as yours, and it's not as easy to use as you imagine. In movies and TV dramas, they just raise it and hit— that's all fake."
"Besides, this thing is extremely sensitive. If anyone sees it or it's caught on surveillance, that's big trouble."
"Don't put it like that. We can't have me charging in with a knife while others shoot guns at me from now on." The more Qing Wanglai explained, the heavier Li Huowang's suspicions grew. What exactly was this guy guarding against?
"Actually, Li Huowang, I've prepared something even more suitable for you than these."
"What?" Li Huowang's brow furrowed at those words.
Soon, Li Huowang saw a black motorcycle protective suit appear before him, but when he picked it up, it didn't quite feel like one. This piece of clothing was extremely heavy, weighing a ton in his hands, and it seemed to have some hard inserts inside.
"This is..."
"Try it on." Li Huowang glanced at him, then at the others, and quickly changed into the heavy garment.
Once he had it on, Li Huowang felt his breathing grow a bit labored. This thing probably weighed more than forty pounds.
"What is this?" As soon as Li Huowang asked, Qing Wanglai pulled a pistol from his pocket and, before anyone could react, fired several shots—bang bang bang—right at his chest.
The utterly shocked Li Huowang was knocked straight to the ground by the powerful impacts.
But when he quickly reached for his chest, he found no blood, and the pain there wasn't worsening—it was actually easing.
"How about it? With this level of bulletproof vest, as long as you wear this suit and pair it with your close-combat skills, you'll be Lü Bu reborn. Oh, and I even got you a helmet."
Just as Qing Wanglai picked up a helmet even bulkier than a motorcycle one and was about to explain, slap! Yang Na rushed forward and landed a hard slap across his face.
Trembling with rage, Yang Na stood in front of Qing Wanglai, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at him, looking like she wanted to devour him whole.
