Chapter 30: Dazzled Yet? (6)

This sentence sounded… sarcastic?

As if implying our luck had run out.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click! Click!

Sure enough, as soon as they entered, a large group of fully armed special forces soldiers swarmed out.

Dozens of assault rifles aimed their dark muzzles at the two of them.

They wouldn’t go easy just because you were a mage.

“Sister Fuling…”

Laige Lingxiang immediately trembled with fear, curling up into a ball, showing no sense of responsibility.

“Dorothy actually sent two little kids to me.

Does she take me for a babysitter?”

Suddenly, a scarred woman in a military coat with a wild hairstyle stepped out from the crowd, holding a black pistol and swinging it around, sneering.

“Rule one: your Magic Armor’s protection level must block 9mm bullets to be qualified to join the Strategic Logistics Department.”

But Laige Fuling, after hearing this, instead shook her bangs disdainfully, calmly put her hands in her pockets, looking extremely relaxed, and said in a nonchalant tone,

“You can all shoot at once.

Go ahead and try, mortals.”

The field soldiers were also confused.

They felt it was already arrogant enough to point guns at mages, but they didn’t expect the other side to be a hundred times more arrogant than they imagined.

And the scarred woman in the military coat actually pulled the trigger without hesitation, pressing the muzzle close and pulling the trigger decisively at point-blank range.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Followed by a series of deafening gunshots, she emptied the entire pistol magazine in one breath, only stopping after the firing pin made an empty click.

“And I’m not targeting you.

I’m saying that even if everyone present empties all their bullets, they still can’t break my defense.”

The melancholic girl still stood with her hands in her pockets, not moving half a step, completely unharmed.

Not even a corner of her clothes was ruffled.

Her cold gaze swept calmly ahead, exuding an unfathomable calm.

Diamond-shaped crystal shards quietly floated in the air, precisely intercepting the incoming pistol bullets and blocking them with ease.

The bullets hit the surface of the crystals but didn’t even leave a tiny scratch.

Crack~ Crack~ Crack~ Crack~ Crack~ Crack~

Those diamond-shaped crystals multiplied rapidly, completing construction and arrangement in the blink of an eye, ultimately forming a 360-degree all-around magic barrier without any blind spots.

“What are you waiting for?

The gun in your hand isn’t a toy, is it?”

Laige Fuling sneered disdainfully.

“Fire!”

The scarred woman in the military coat couldn’t save face and gave the order directly.

In an instant, dozens of assault rifles simultaneously spewed blazing tongues of fire.

Muzzle flashes flickered in the darkness.

The dense gunfire was deafening.

Gun smoke rose with each shot and filled the air.

But the result was obvious.

No matter how many bullets, they couldn’t penetrate Laige Fuling’s Void Shield.

They simply slid off and ricocheted, causing no damage.

But just as Laige Fuling was standing with her hands in her pockets, maintaining her melancholic-girl character image while actually feeling smug inside, that annoying little tortoise suddenly appeared at her feet.

[Knock the female lead to the ground!]

[Quest Requirement: Must be done in full view of everyone.]

[Quest Success Reward: Maximum Mana Value +1.]

[Quest Failure Penalty: Turn off your shield.]

And then that damn System Quest immediately popped up.

But Laige Fuling looked at Lingxiang beside her, who was scared by the gunfire and crouching down covering her head like a tortoise.

She immediately had an idea.

In an instant, she made a side jump, a stomp step, and a butt impact, smashing her backside into Laige Lingxiang’s face and knocking her to the ground.

“Sister Fuling?”

Laige Lingxiang looked wronged from the collision.

“What are you kneeling on the ground for?”

Laige Fuling imitated the eldest sister’s tone and scolded fiercely.

“Are you going to hide behind my shield and watch me get shot?”

Laige Lingxiang, after being scolded, suddenly looked determined.

She slowly stood up and immediately knew what she had to do.

Of course, she also forgot about the incident of being knocked down by her third sister’s butt, thinking it was just a lashing of family affection.

So Laige Fuling’s System Quest was completed in an instant, effortlessly.

“Mist, O Harm-Spirit, born of five boasts,

[Summoning: Black Hound].”

And Laige Lingxiang had already begun chanting a difficult summoning incantation.

Every syllable contained ancient magic power.

As the spell progressed, a dark and deep magic circle instantly formed under her feet.

Complex and mysterious runes flowed within it, emitting a frightening dark mist.

In the next instant, several agile black hounds burst out from the surging black mist of runes.

They passed through the crystalline Void Shield like phantoms, pouncing on the surrounding armed soldiers, tearing at their hands and weapons.

From this, one could see a detail:

Lingxiang’s Divine Summon Art and Fuling’s Void Shield actually had some kind of synergy.

Think back to when Big Sister Caicai fired Air Slash Bullets.

The Void Shield had to open for the teammate’s attack spells to fly out.

But the summoned black hounds could directly pass through the Void Shield without Fuling needing to perform any “open door” operation, reducing defensive gaps and preventing enemies from exploiting them.

The reason was simple:

Because Divine Summon and Void Shield originated from the same source, sharing some ancient connection, though it was no longer clear now.

“Enough, stop.”

The scarred woman in the military coat saw the situation was bad and quickly called for a halt.

Otherwise, even she would be bitten by the dogs.

Laige Lingxiang, being very obedient, made the hounds stop attacking immediately.

She didn’t actually harm those armed soldiers, just disarmed them, acting with great martial virtue.

“Big Aunt, did we pass?” Laige Fuling asked calmly.

“Auntie…”

The scarred woman in the military coat twitched her mouth, then forced herself calm and introduced herself.

“I’m Luoleilai Lainaerduo, a plainclothes detective from the Strategic Field Operations Department.

You’ll be under me from now on.”

“Are you a mage?” Laige Fuling asked.

“I’m just an Esper,” Luoleilai replied.

“Hello, Detective Luoleilai.

I’m Laige Lingxiang, and she is my third sister, Laige Fuling.

Nice to meet you.”

Laige Lingxiang hurriedly introduced them, afraid that if her third sister said more, the atmosphere would become even more awkward.

“Let’s talk inside,” Luoleilai said.

She gently waved her hand, signaling the fully armed soldiers to retreat.

The soldiers immediately understood the order and dispersed quickly and orderly, restoring peace around them.

Then the two followed the female detective to a barracks with a plain appearance next to them.

However, when they stepped inside, they found it was an elegantly furnished high-end office.

Many high-end collectibles were arranged neatly, giving the impression that she had embezzled a lot of money.
