The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

Chapter 180 - 148 Shrimp and Pig’s Heart Oh Fox_2
Chapter 180: Chapter 148 Shrimp and Pig’s Heart Oh Fox_2Thinking of this, Kirie’s heart skipped a beat at the thought of Gordon.

”These kinds of monsters can actually be summoned...”

Based on the simple data she had come to understand, it was easy to infer that the combat strength of a single monster serpent would be at least at the T1 level in the Combat Sequence.

And for T0 in the Combat Sequence, that was a level unreachable by human strength, basically requiring external Armor, like the Standard Mecha called Tianxuan.

”But now, this situation... is a bit passive.” Wolf looked outside the cover, where the transparent barrier remained unmoved by the bullets, ”I have no idea what the Deception Group is really trying to do.”

”No problem, the longer this drags on, the better for us,” Jiang Shu confidently said, ”Just don’t know where the people from Deception Group are right now.”

”Police Chief Wolf, each person has an average of one base unit of ammunition left, should we...” At that moment, a police officer came up to Wolf to report the situation.

”Then let’s not waste the bullets.” Wolf replied quickly, ”Everyone, stay alert.”

The sound of gunfire finally dwindled, while the mechanical disciples behind the transparent shields slightly raised their heads, looking in the direction of the barrier.

Probably... it’s the Key Master’s ability?

Jiang Shu looked at the gradually calming barrier, pondering, and then he looked at the new pistol strapped to Wolf’s waist with a surprised expression and reached out to take it, ”Is this a new pistol? It looks pretty good.”

Wolf’s previous weapon was a revolver with a Wild West style, but now he wielded a red and black, angular, high-tech looking pistol that seemed quite impressive.

”Hey!” Wolf was startled and tried to stop him, but then looking at Jiang Shu, he let him take his sidearm, grumbling, ”Just to look, okay?”

”May I fire a couple of shots?” Jiang Shu asked, staring at Wolf with sincere eyes.

Since a gun is a police officer’s second life, Wolf turned aside, reached out to another officer, snatched their pistol without explanation, and then placed it in front of Jiang Shu, ”That’s enough, use this one.”

”My pistol is a newly developed laser pistol, every shot is recorded,” he pointed to a small square attached to the side of the laser pistol’s barrel, ”Here, this thing.”

Wolf had already used this laser pistol to shoot at the protective shield earlier, not even causing a ripple, seemingly less powerful than ordinary kinetic weapons.

Jiang Shu, on the other hand, took the pistol, inspected it, and then fired five shots at the transparent protective shield in front of him.

”Bang, bang, bang, bang-thud, bang -”

Five shots, six sounds, because, during the fourth shot, he really couldn’t control the trembling of the pistol...

Due to a man’s natural tendency, he had held great expectations for these firearms, but now, upon reconsideration...

”Forget it, I’m not suited for this.” Jiang Shu handed the gun back to the original officer. He wanted to test the compatibility of firearms with the ”Shadow Cutting” technique, but it didn’t seem promising...

Paper Card Technique is still more appealing, much more so.

The mechanical disciples made way, and two figures stepped forward, a familiar combination, familiar masks, yet it was the first official meeting between Jiang Shu and Wolf and the two members of the Deception Group they had been chasing.

”Police Chief Wolf, Great Magician Jiang, and Miss Kirie as well as the gentlemen of the police we don’t know, good morning,” the Fox greeted from a distance, waving at everyone with his half-fox mask, which allowed everyone there to see his radiant smile.

”Fox... and also Devil Wind.” Wolf said in a low voice, hesitating, unsure of what to reply.

It always seemed like whatever he said would make his side appear to lack momentum.

But Jiang Shu thought of a quip, and with a similar smile, and the same wave, he asked back, ”Good in what way?”

”The weather’s good, people are good, and it’s good to see you,” Fox answered without hesitation, then smiled gently and said softly, ”Here are ten mechanical disciples with full Internal Armor from Hercules; obviously, they could easily rip you apart, but I don’t want to do that. I dislike unnecessary slaughter.”

His voice was soft, but the corridor was very quiet at the time, so everyone could hear him clearly.

Wolf originally wanted to issue a stern retort, but after careful thought, decided there was no need and listened quietly to what Fox had to say, curious about what he really intended to do.

”But if it had been someone else today, clearly, you would have died because of those ten people,” Fox continued, his voice still unhurried, with a difficult-to-describe charm, ”You might want to think about it, for ten insignificant or even most likely criminal guys, is it really worth it?”

”We’re police, to die for this is fitting,” Wolf suddenly spoke up, then scoffed, ”That kind of feeling, you people wouldn’t understand.”

”Is that a fitting death?” Wolf asked, repeating Wolf’s words, then continued, ”So now, between the two kinds of people, those who kill evildoers and those who protect evildoers, tell me, what is justice?”

Oh?

Jiang Shu blinked his eyes. This question was a tough one.

B: I asked you to translate, what the hell is justice!

”...”

Wolf, however, was not influenced by Kirie at all. He answered in a grave voice, ”Apart from the court, no one can subjectively judge guilt. What we protect is never the victims, nor so-called justice; what we protect is the law. Only by upholding the law can we protect the majority of people in this society.”

Jiang Shu looked at Wolf with newfound respect.

It was a simple concept, but not many people would truly accept it.

And this scene was captured by Devil Wind’s Prosthetic Eye and uploaded in real-time to...

The commercial display screen on the building opposite the Keyin Company.

The protesting crowd intuitively looked toward the source of the sound. Wolf and Kirie’s conversation was transmitted clearly and accurately into everyone’s ears.

They stared blankly at Wolf’s face on the big screen, and after carefully pondering Wolf’s words, they began discussing with the people around them.

Meanwhile, inside the Keyin Company, Police Chief Charles also saw the display screen through the top-floor window. He reacted quickly, immediately instructing the officers around him, ”Contact Wolf quickly, tell him not to talk nonsense! Wait a second...”

He suddenly remembered that they hadn’t been able to reach the police station since just a moment ago.

”Police Chief Joyce, take a team to that building and shut down that damned display!” Charles ordered quickly, frowning.

At such a critical time, if Wolf said something he shouldn’t have, it could very well lead to a wave against the Seventh District Police Station under the rhythm of those with ulterior motives, and...

Kirie’s goal was likely just that!

He would surely lead Wolf and then twist his words...

Damn it, Deception Group’s real target isn’t just the people at Keyin Company, but also the Seventh District Police Station!

But now, the police station’s main force was deployed in defense at Keyin Company, and the crowd of protesters had surrounded the area so tightly that they couldn’t quickly return to support the station; their only option was to call for a helicopter to pick up people...

However, to move so many officers, an ordinary helicopter wouldn’t have the capacity, and only the Three Major Groups’ Combat Sequence had large transport helicopters...

It was a difficult problem.

”Is that so? Then I’ll tell you, I have evidence that proves who among those ten is the true criminal,” Kirie continued, glancing at Devil Wind.

Devil Wind understood, and he displayed the evidence provided by Albert, along with Albert’s video, using his wristwatch.

”Look, you really are covering up for criminals.” Kirie shrugged his shoulders, a sarcastic smile on his face, ”And I figured out who was truly guilty and who was innocent in just a single morning. Incompetence is also a sin, isn’t it? It’s been a month, and you still haven’t caught me or found the mastermind behind Keyin’s case, so how many cases are still buried without justice?”

He continued, his voice still steady, ”Tell me, is this what you call upholding the law, what you call protecting the majority of people in society?”

Jiang Shu listened, his tongue clicking in amazement at Kirie’s words...

This was a ballsy move!

A smaller mecha tugged at his sleeve and showed Jiang Shu a silent video.

The video showed the live scene near the Keyin Company, where the crowd was stirred up by Kirie’s words.

Jiang Shu tugged at Wolf, wanting him not to speak without thinking, but Wolf shrugged him off. He just stared directly at Kirie, silent.

At this moment, everyone was waiting, waiting for Wolf’s response.
