We are from the future ark

It is impossible for Jessica to follow them all the time. If she was really an ordinary newcomer, it would not matter, but she is not. Not only that, in a sense, she is also the big money behind Black Steel International.

The capital behind Jessica is ridiculously huge, and Black Steel International can't afford to offend her at all. To put it mildly, Jessica is here for training. To put it bluntly, Jessica is just a young lady who goes to the countryside to experience life.

They and Jessica are not from the same world. Sooner or later, she will leave, and sooner or later, they will leave too.

Jessica - You have to be on your own.

"Besides...hasn't she been silent all this time?"

Razer's faint voice came slowly, and Franka subconsciously looked at Jessica who was smoking silently and looking at the big screen in the corner, and nodded lightly.

"Come on... Cathead."

"You are now the closest to your wish..."

……

"Huh...huh...huh..."

In the simulated battlefield, Jessica was hiding behind a bunker. In her hand was an extremely sophisticated sniper weapon, which she had asked her family to make for her at a high price from Thor Industries.

Even the bullets are special models, which can be said to be a truly customized firearm.

However, this time, they did not use bullets, but a mass-produced paintball, which would cause a sense of impact when hit, but would not cause any injury, in order to simulate combat.

And at this moment, opposite Jessica was Graythroat.

One-on-one combat... was what Jessica was least good at, but at this moment, she obviously had no way out.

There was no teammate to cover her, and no messenger to give her orders... At this moment, the simulated battle was taking place on rooftops, which made her even more lacking in cover.

Fortunately, Jessica is petite and as a film girl, she is naturally agile. At 147 cm tall, it is much easier for her to hide her figure.

However, Jessica would not forget that the Graythroat on the opposite side was a genuine Liberian - known as one of the races most suitable for sniper operators.

Their naturally sharp eyesight and all-seeing hearing allow them to be sensitive to the slightest movement on the battlefield.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death... We must first find out the other party's position."

Jessica forced herself to calm down, constantly recalling the contents of the Black Steel International sniper operator tutorial, muttering to herself:

"The tutorial says... when you are in a stalemate with the enemy sniper, you should try to find out the enemy's position without exposing yourself..."

"——Unfortunately, you have been exposed."

However, just as Jessica was muttering to herself, a female voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

"boom!"

"Clap!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out, however, whether it was due to Filin's innate sense of crisis or something else, the shot did not hit Jessica herself, but hit the gun in her hand.

However, the impact of the paintballs caused the frightened Jessica to lose control of her hands, and the firearm in her hand was directly knocked out.

Looking at the gun with several parts falling off, Jessica had no time to cry out, but subconsciously pulled out another gun from her waist.

——This was the firearm Jessica used to use most often. She would always carry it with her in case of emergency.

Jessica silently loaded the gun and hid in a corner, suppressing her breathing, trying to catch any clues of Graythroat.

"——hidden away?"

"But now that you've been exposed, I won't give you a chance."

Gray Throat's voice came slowly from somewhere, and the next moment, a lot of gas with white smoke suddenly flew out.

Naturally, this scene was also seen by people outside the big screen.

"Isn't this a smoke screen?! Cathead's specialty!"

Franka couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing this scene, and Razer also said after his pupils condensed:

"No, this is not Jessica's [Smoke Screen], that is something that can only be achieved with Jessica's Originium skills, Graymaw shouldn't be able to do that."

“——This is a smoke bomb.”

However, at this moment, Jessica, who had been smoking silently, spoke lightly, interrupting Razer and Franka's conversation and explaining:

"This is a special type of odorless smoke bomb that can be used as a cover for [smoke screen]. Under the cover of these [smoke screens], you can move quickly, making it difficult for the surrounded to know their location. It also allows the surrounders to move at will."

"Cat head..." Jessica's explanation had obviously let the two girls know how difficult this smoke screen was. Franca's pair of beautiful eyes were fixed on the big screen, revealing her undisguised worry.

Even Razer found it a little tricky. In such a situation, even she... didn't know how to break it.

……

"【Smoke cover】?"

After seeing this scene, Jessica couldn't help but mutter to herself, but she immediately covered her mouth to prevent herself from making the same mistake again.

Although he was surprised why his skills were learned by Graythroat, he felt relieved when he thought that the other party was Miss Jessica's student.

"——Jessica, your code name is exactly the same as my teacher's."

Gray Throat's voice was heard again, but this time, the direction of her voice had obviously changed. Apparently, she was now shuttling through the smoke, constantly changing her direction.

This was Miss Jessica's technique - and Cathead knew it.

"But you and the teacher are completely different."

"You have the same code name as the teacher, but the gap between you and the teacher is too big."

When Graythroat said this, there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

I thought she could give me a surprise.

However, now it seems that he is just a coward.

Defeating such an opponent... I don't have any feelings at all.

"..."

On the other side, Jessica, who was huddled in the corner, seemed to have understood the situation she was facing at the moment and slowly relaxed.

——No, it’s better to say that I’m a little discouraged.

She slowly closed her eyes. Jessica heard everything Gray-Hoo said just now. At this moment, she was indeed a little depressed and even had some self-doubt.

Is she... really that different?

What can she protect like this? How can such a cowardly person get the favor he wants?

Jessica fell into a long period of self-doubt...

Chapter 82: Jessica finally took the first step towards becoming stronger

Cowardly, timid, fearful, cautious... these kinds of impressions exist and manifest in Jessica, and are also the inherent impressions of her by almost everyone who has come into contact with her.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

No one knows why Jessica, the eldest daughter of a mysterious wealthy family, is not spoiled and willful, nor does she show much aristocratic style, but is such a timid image. No one knows what she experienced in her childhood and past.

Of course, no one would understand that most people are naturally separated from young ladies like Jessica by a sad barrier called "class" since birth. People are only willing to see what they want to see and only want to know what they want to know.

Jessica is a young lady, not because she is, but because people usually think so.

Similarly, Jessica is a cowardly person who can't accomplish anything great - this is not who Jessica is, but everyone's impression of her.

[Will never amount to anything great] [A coward] [A timid person]... These were the descriptions that everyone around Jessica kept repeating, openly and secretly.

"I……"

Jessica had her eyes closed, but for some reason, the fingers that were slowly lowering the gun exerted a little more force.

"I want to... stand on my own."

"I want to be like Miss Jessica!"

Perhaps in the past, Jessica's life was down-to-earth, step by step, but she didn't know the goal or the destination, and she just took one step at a time and lived from day to day.

So, from that day on, Jessica finally found the real goal in her mind.

Capable, ruthless and efficient, he seems like the most reliable person who can be trusted with everything!

That was her dream, the person she truly wanted to be!

"I will never live up to the code name 'Jessica'!"

"Ms. Jessica and I have the same code name!"

Following waves of cries in her heart, Jessica opened her eyes, and a sharp light flashed in her filmy pupils!

The people of Liberi are naturally gifted with sharp vision, hearing, and perception, as well as agile movements.

However, how could Jessica, a Filin, be weaker in these aspects than the prototype of the bird race, Liberi?

Feilin is a cat, and how could a cat be afraid of birds?

"...have you come to your senses? In the face of adversity...do you have the courage to go against the current?"

Gray Throat, who was hidden in the smoke, seemed to have noticed Jessica's changes. After a slight pause, he still said calmly:

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, you're about to lose."

"You can't fool me." Jessica hid in the dark and answered in a slightly calm tone for the first time, while scanning the only few smoke screens in her field of vision with her pupils.

"[Smoke Screen] is my specialty. I know how to break it."

"That is - turning into a smoke screen!"

As soon as Jessica finished speaking, she suddenly jumped up! Gray Throat was startled and fired subconsciously, but it was empty.

However, this failed, and the next moment, Jessica was completely trapped in the [smoke screen] she had created.

I was careless... This woman also knew how to blend into the [Smoke Screen] as a cover!

"Now... we can't see each other."

Jessica's voice came again, and this time Graythroat was no longer careless. They couldn't see each other. At this moment, in the smoke, they could only judge each other by the sound of each other's movements and voices.

However, Graythroat no longer dared to shoot casually. Shooting meant exposing themselves first, and shooting based on the changes in sound... With their race's speed, they simply couldn't catch up.

You can only predict... and then rely on some luck.

In the smoke, the two women who seemed to have turned into ghosts in the smoke continued to be in a stalemate. The sound of their movements was extremely light, almost to the point of being unnoticeable.

The sense of crisis began to intensify, and Graythroat also began to feel nervous, with sweat pouring down his face.

"--boom!"

Suddenly, in the smoke, a gunshot rang out, followed by the sound of someone being hit, announcing the complete end.

No one knew the outcome. People watching on the big screen only saw the end of the simulation displayed, but did not know who hit the other.

It was not until some time later that the smoke screen created by the smoke bombs slowly dissipated, and then everyone saw the two figures slowly emerging from the same smoke screen...

A girl from the Filin tribe, still in a shooting posture, aimed at the Liberi girl in front of her who was covering her chest with her palms.

...won?

An atmosphere of disbelief gathered on the side, and everyone at this moment could not believe their eyes.

Cathead... won? In a solo operation, which was her worst skill? She won with a huge disadvantage?

Even Jessica at the side was slightly stunned, revealing a puzzled expression, as if she didn't quite understand.

"Why did you know I was here?"

Graythroat looked at Jessica in front of him in disbelief. If the shot just now was a real bullet, then Graythroat, as a sniper, would have been shot in the heart by Jessica, which would be the most frustrating way to die.

Such a result...Graythroat couldn't accept it, she wanted to know the real reason.

Is it luck? Or... something else?

"...I'm not guessing." Jessica put away her pistol and explained to Graythroat:

“Because I [smelled] it.”

"……smell?"

Graythroat was slightly stunned when he heard this, and the people on the big screen were also stunned after hearing this, and found this answer a little difficult to understand.

Only Miss Jessica on the other side seemed to suddenly understand something.

"...You have the [smell of cigarettes] left by Miss Jessica."
