Chapter 117: Sensitivity × time × handling
Joey kept recalling every detail since the battle began.
He even recalled every second ticked off by the hands of his wristwatch. After all, only about four minutes had passed since the battle began.
Since the battle at the palace, and especially since using Bites the Dust, Joey had become extremely sensitive to time.
When the bullet struck him, Joey had checked the time: 3:17:34.
The second bullet arrived and was blocked by Gold Experience at 3:18:33.
The interval was fifty-nine seconds. The discrepancy of less than a second should have been caused by Big Cat Pounce. In other words, under normal circumstances, that bullet would have struck him at 3:18:34.
One minute!
Was it a coincidence?
No!
Because the third bullet arrived at 3:19:34.
Again, exactly one minute.
After he dealt with the bullet, Killer Queen annihilated the opponent, and Joey rushed out. That entire sequence should have taken around thirty seconds.
In other words, the deprivation occurred again one minute and thirty seconds after the second bullet was fired.
Then when would the next deprivation of his six senses occur?
3:21:04.
Joey calculated that he should have another forty-seven seconds before one of his six senses was stripped away for the third time.
Meanwhile, in another seventeen seconds, the fourth bullet would strike him.

And how could he dodge the fourth bullet?
His opponent would probably anticipate his movements, most likely by judging the flow of his aura.
In other words, once he intended to dodge, the flow of his aura would tell his opponent how to adjust to ensure the bullet hit him.
The previous three shots showed that his opponent was definitely a sharpshooter.
He judged what would happen after each shot
