V4 7 - Part D:

The guy continuously shoots at me while I am taking cover behind the crystal wall that I synthesized.

Bang* Bang* Bang* Bang* Bang*

I am trying to think of a way to get out of this situation, but my brain is scrambling right now due to the pain, anxiety, and tension.

I don’t think I could do some complex Atomic Synthesis since I am having a hard time concentrating right now, let alone use Brainwave Manipulation.

I could only do the basics, which are to generate electricity and heat.

What the hell am I supposed to do now?

All of a sudden, the gunshot stopped.

Did he run out of bullets?

Or is he just trying to trick me into revealing myself?

As Uncle Huck said in his classes, never assume what your enemies are going to do. Always make sure that you know what they are going to do in order to plan and get the upper hand.

While I was thinking to myself, I heard the guy scream.

"Shit!"

Following the scream is a metallic clicking sound.

Click* Click*
