Before the girl realized that the person in front of her was not a waiter, the person in the waiter's uniform had already pulled the trigger.
The bullet shot at the girl who was caught off guard at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
However, almost at the next moment, the bullet suddenly stopped in mid-air, going from a high speed to a standstill. Then, it shot back into the barrel of the pistol at three times the speed!
Because the whole process was less than 0.1 seconds, neither the girl nor the assassin could react at all.
Then, almost as if it was a matter of course, the pistol's barrel exploded just like that.
The assassin was blasted into a bloody mess, covered in blood and half-dead as he leaned against the corridor wall, and then slowly slid to the ground.
"Oh, oh." Obviously, she was being assassinated, but the girl's face was full of surprise. She turned her head, dense air swirling in her eyes. "Is that the 'Ward'?"
"You can see it?"
This time, it was Xu Shenxing's turn to be a little surprised.
Yes, after all, the enemy this time was a fragile human. Because he did not want to see too much of a strange death, Xu Shenxing did not intend to do it himself, but just at the moment when the assassin pulled the trigger, he cast a 'Ward of Retaliation' on the girl.
It was a defensive ward that could double the enemy's attack. Xu Shenxing used this ward to play 'Rebound, rebound, rebound again, rebound your rebound' with a demon king in a certain lattice world who was proficient in rebounding magic. It was a battle routine that was like a primary school quarrel.
"I can't see it at all!" The girl said proudly for some reason. "Because I'm blind!"
"Is that something to be proud of …"
"But …" The girl lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting dense shadows on her fair face under the dim ceiling light of the KTV. "It's vaguely understandable."
"…"
"In order to obtain this power that surpasses common sense …" The girl's eyes were clearly unfocused, but Xu Shenxing had a feeling that she was looking at him. She said softly, "What price did you pay?"
Xu Shenxing fell into a rare silence.
After a long time, he said.
"If you don't call the ambulance, that guy will die."
"Eh, so you care about the life and death of a mere human? You don't show any mercy when killing monsters? "
"Monsters have no human rights." Xu Shenxing said firmly.
To be honest, he did not care about the life and death of the assassin, but if someone died in such a lively place, it would be more or less troublesome to suppress the matter.
Monsters were different.........................................................

. If Xiao Zhengyi was still here, then the best choice would be to hand the assassin over to him. But the problem was that the guy was still lying in a hospital bed. Although a lot of things had happened, according to the normal timeline, only a day had passed since Xu Shenxing went to see him. Even if Xiao Zhengyi's body recovered faster than normal people because he bathed in more spiritual energy, he did not have the blood of the Nami Star. If he wanted to completely recover, he would need to recuperate for a period of time.
Besides him, Xu Shenxing did not know anyone else in the Jiang Jin police station.
Just as he was still distressed, an acquaintance appeared at the corner of the corridor.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xu." The other person nodded slightly to show respect. "Let me handle this guy."
"From the meaning of your name, you are also Mr. Xu, right?" Xu Shenxing sighed. "Didn't you get promoted to Tianjing? Why did you come back to Jiang Jin? "
The person who came was naturally the former director of Jiang Jin's Super Administrative Office, Xu Feng.
"Of course it's because there was a big mess in Jiang Jin. Even that brat Xiao Zhengyi was hospitalized. I had no choice but to come over and replace him …" Xu Feng sighed. "The other reason is the guy in front of you."
"Hmm, sure enough, it's not that easy to escape from the hands of the 'mechanism'." The legendary girl A had a serious expression. She took out a phone and placed it next to her ear. Using a very soft voice that Xu Shenxing and Xu Feng could clearly hear, she said, "Hey, hey, that's right, it's me. I'm being monitored by the mechanism, but it doesn't matter. Now we're going to execute the third backup plan. I wish you all good luck … el psy congró! "
"Ah, my phone … when did you take it."
Xu Shenxing frowned and said, "Also, it ran out of battery a long time ago. Why did you call!"
"Great Master Yun, please don't do this kind of strange childish action again. The officials at the Imperial Astronomer's headquarters are already unhappy with your previous behavior of running away. They even issued a letter of accountability."
Xu Feng said to the girl with a wry smile.
The girl threw the phone back to Xu Shenxing. Then she pulled the corner of her mouth and made a face at Xu Feng.
Although Xu Shenxing could only see the girl's back because of the angle and couldn't see the face, from Xu Feng's mixed helpless smile and voice that made people want to beat him up, he knew that the face was definitely very interesting.
"If you're with Mr. Xu, then I can reluctantly accept the security. Considering that you really haven't come out for a breath of fresh air in a long time, it's fine to let you play for a while … But please don't forget your identity. At night, I'll come and pick you up."
In the end, the confrontation between the two ended with Xu Feng's concession.
"The password is 123456. The rest of the money will be Mr. Xu's reward."
He put a bank card on the table and then waved his hand. A few men dressed like super black special police came out from the shadows and carried the assassin away.
And Xu Feng also saluted the girl and left in big strides.
"What did you say you'll pick me up when it's dark … Isn't it already dinner time!"
The girl said angrily.
"Isn't that good?" Xu Shenxing had an indifferent expression. He picked up the bank card: "After dinner, remember to tell me everything I want to know."
"Wow, is this how you treat the beautiful girl who accompanied you the whole afternoon so coldly!"
"I'm just coldly treating the guy who wasted my afternoon."
"Damn it, I want to go to the top floor of Jiang Jin's Fashion Building for a luxurious meal!"
"Do you know … There's a saying in this world called the experts among the people." Xu Shenxing seriously suggested: "So why don't we go eat at a food stall? I know a place that has a really good food stall … "
"… …"
☆
Jiang Jin's Fashion Building. Although it was called a building, it was actually a tower-shaped building that imitated the Oriental Pearl Tower. Although it couldn't be compared to the real thing, the entire building was about three hundred meters tall. In addition, it had a very fashionable appearance, so it had vaguely become one of Jiang Jin's landmarks.
The most fascinating place was the luxurious restaurant at the top of the Fashion Building … It was said that the lowest cost there was five figures. It was definitely not an exaggeration to say that a single meal would cost a normal person a month's salary.
However, such a high price still couldn't stop people's footsteps. After all, this era didn't lack rich people and people who wanted to pretend to be rich.
In addition, there was a metaphysical saying that 'the success rate of eating here with a blind date is higher', which caused a lot of couples and prospective couples to flood in.
"Are you kidding me? Boiled cabbage actually costs a few hundred yuan? You must be kidding me! "
When he saw the menu, Xu Shenxing was shocked. Usually, he was the one who reshaped other people's worldview, but today, his worldview was on the verge of collapse. A dish that cost more than two thousand yuan (and it was seafood) was far beyond his common sense.
"That's the famous Sichuan dish, boiled cabbage, okay …" The girl pretended to look at the menu and complained in a low voice.
"I don't believe that this thing is much better than boiled Mandrake!"
"Isn't Mandrake poison …" The girl muttered.
"No, I mean the kind that grows into a human shape and cries when pulled out of the ground."
"… …"
"Nonsense, this snail is more expensive than the meat of a rainbow dragon!"
"Because it's a famous French dish … Wait, dragon meat?"
"Oh my god, the price of foie gras can buy a lot of geese …"
The more Xu Shenxing looked at him, the more he felt that he was not suitable to come to such a place.
Fortunately, he also knew that it was not a good thing for him to act like a country bumpkin, so he spoke softly. Otherwise, he would have attracted the attention of the surrounding people … Even the waiter who helped them order could not help but show a look of disdain on his face.
However, when the French dishes were served, Xu Shenxing's etiquette became very authentic. Without considering his T-shirt and beach pants, he looked like a noble who was eating elegantly.
After all, many of the worlds that Old Xu had transmigrated to were more fantasy worlds, where the western nobles' etiquette (or something similar) was not out of date. Plus, as a hero, it was normal for him to participate in some grand royal ceremonies. Over time, he became familiar with such etiquette … It was just that he usually did not use it.
Therefore, the waiter who was full of disdain was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped.

"This is the first time I've spent five figures on a meal."
After dinner, Xu Shenxing still had a look of lingering fear.
If Xu Feng did not leave behind a bank card with a hundred thousand yuan in it before he left, he would have to think about how to wash away his image of a dine-and-dash.
"Hmm, the ingredients in this restaurant are just so-so." The girl pursed her lips and seemed to be a little dissatisfied as she commented.
To this, Xu Shenxing just rolled his eyes.
After dinner, the two took the sightseeing elevator to the top of the Jiang Jin fashion building, which was a spherical structure.
This was actually a place equivalent to a lookout. From here, one could almost overlook the entire Jiang Jin. At this time, other than Xu Shenxing and his group, there were also a few people who seemed to be lovers gathered together in twos and threes.
Although Xu Shenxing used to overlook Jiang Jin's city from other buildings when he was in the military, compared to here, it was clear that the shock from those places was much weaker.
The sky had completely darkened, and the bright moon in the east was hanging in the pitch-black night sky. Only a few sparse stars accompanied it in the night sky.
Instead, it was replaced by the bright river on the ground that flowed endlessly.
"Aren't you blind?"
Xu Shenxing looked at the girl whose entire face was almost stuck to the glass and laughed.
"But I can use my heart to see … Or rather, the scene that I can see is definitely more beautiful than what you can see …" A faint smile appeared on the girl's face. It was completely different from her crazy appearance all day, and it made people's hearts beat faster.
"Is that so?"
"Of course … I can see the process of this city gradually changing from a small fishing village to what it is now. Many fascinating stories happened one after another on this land like bamboo shoots after the rain. They overcame one difficulty after another and thrived, and finally became the lush bamboo forest called Jiang Jin. " The girl said softly, "Although there was sadness, disappointment, pain, and chaos, it is because we have overcome all of this that we can now see such a beautiful scene. So I … "
Speaking up to here, she suddenly stopped, and a lonely expression appeared on her face.
The next moment, the special glass that the girl was leaning on was suddenly full of cracks, and then it exploded into countless small glass shards that wouldn't hurt people because of special treatment.
And because the glass that supported most of the weight of the girl's body collapsed, her body involuntarily leaned forward, and she fell out of the watchtower from a height of more than 300 meters into the night sky!
It was a substitute attack … Ah no, it was a terrorist attack!
Xu Shenxing didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the girl seemed to have a relieved expression before she fell out.
But he didn't have time to think too much. He took three steps in two, jumped out of the gap, and chased after the girl!
Galileo once told us that under the same external conditions, the acceleration of two objects falling from the same height would be the same regardless of their weight.
So in theory, Xu Shenxing couldn't catch up with the girl.
Although there was also the option of increasing speed by changing his movements to reduce air resistance, Xu Shenxing wouldn't be Xu Shenxing if he was bound by the mere laws of physics.
He gathered cloud scales behind his back, and then suddenly burst out, causing his falling speed to increase by several times!
So he finally caught up with the girl and hugged her in his arms.
"Ah ah, how delightful." The situation was obviously urgent, but the girl in his arms still had time to smile. She said, "Finally, I guessed correctly for once, Mr. Anomaly."
