Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 438 A Brief Trial
Day three.

"You haven't changed this suit before?"

Song Shi casually put a cross on the application document for the Security Bureau to hold a farewell banquet, and turned to look at the man not far away.

From the time he reported for duty until now, the three-piece suit seems to have grown on him forever, and no matter where he goes, he is always dressed in straight black and white.

"Mr. Supervisor, I will serve as your adjutant on this trip." Anthony put down the data pad, on which words such as plan, regulations, and tentative were faintly visible: "This is one of the standard uniforms."

"Oh"

Song Shi touched his chin. Strictly speaking, in the past three days, except for killing Mendan Lorati on the first night and issuing several instructions, he had nothing to do.

Anthony was in charge of the lower-level government affairs processing and handover work, because the killing or arrest of a bunch of people and the subsequent receipt of illegal assets were always handled by Lapis Lazuli.

"Have you ever met the Lord of Ye Nan?" Song Shi suddenly thought of something: "Of course, according to your Second National Assembly, that is the 'Speaker'."

"I took the oath of office in front of the Speaker's portrait."

Anthony answered, then shook his head: "But I have never seen him in person. My original department is not in the First Court, but in the Outer Court. Do you need me to explain this further?"

"That's not necessary." Song Shi touched the texture of the mayor's desk and said, "Well, I don't know much about Ye Nan, but I'm probably more familiar with him than you think."

Ye Nan regards the "First Court" as the undisputed ruling center. It is both a palace and a parliament, and also serves as the company's headquarters, the Vatican Cathedral, the production core, the Golden Tent, the Governor's Office and a series of other names.

However, the [First Court] is divided into two courts, the inner court and the outer court. The inner court is the real residence where the Lord of Ye Nan personally sits, and the outer court is the subordinate ruling agencies such as the Ministry of Energy, Justice, Military, and Commerce.
Of course, according to the theoretical laws of Yenan, the latter only has the right to make suggestions but not the right to make decisions, and all decisions belong to the Lord of Yenan.

However, in actual practice, unless there are particularly important matters, most of Ye Nan’s affairs are still handled by these outer courts that work day and night.

According to Anthony's opening remarks when he parachuted in that night, he previously worked in the Ministry of Justice under the Outer Court, in a subordinate office, as an assistant to the director of the office.

At the age of just over 30, he has got this position, which means he has a bright future.

"Anthony, your psychic power has reached the second level, right?" Song Shi turned around and looked at him, "But have you been too restrained in the past few days?"

Although during these three days, the other party transformed into a terrifying administrator and worked without a moment's rest to deal with the turbulent wave that had arisen in Panyan City after the inspection tour.

But Song Shi noticed it the first time he saw the other person.

——This Anthony Sally actually possesses psychic power of the second level!

If you look deeper into it, that feeling like a skilled hand plucking strings, if nothing unexpected happens, the path is [balance].

"Your Excellency, I am not hiding anything."

Anthony had a stern look on his face, but his tone was extremely calm: "It's just that during these three days, with you, Lapis Lazuli, and the Security Bureau here, there was no scenario where I needed to use force."

"I'm not trying to restrain myself." He tapped his temple. "Without the transformation of psychic energy, I can't bear the current level of transformation and enhancement of my prosthetic body. It's just..."

He paused for a moment and looked directly at the young man: "I am a psyker of the Path of Balance, but before that, I was Anthony Sally of Yenan."

Song Shi did not show any surprise.

Psychic power is created by "psychics". Even the same psychic skill will have different effects, big or small, in the hands of different psychics.

With Song Shi's perception of psychic energy, he had already been able to get a glimpse of the whole situation and perceive some deeper things. What's more, Anthony had nothing to hide and had always faced him frankly.

"There is no right or wrong choice. It doesn't matter." Song Shi walked down from the armchair and couldn't help but smile.

"——Let's try it first."

There was no surprise in Anthony's deep blue eyes.

He put the data tablet down completely and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a prosthetic limb covered with artificial skin.

"Monitor Your Excellency, the Environment"

"It's okay, right here." Song Shi smiled calmly, with a wisp of flame lingering around him: "I still have a little control."

This temporarily requisitioned office of the mayor of Panyan City suddenly lit up with a fierce red-gold light, and then with a click, the fire sensor was triggered, and a fire sprinkler flipped out of the ceiling, spraying water violently.

With a "puff" sound, the water was burned up by the raging fire before it fell, turning into steaming mist, and then even the mist disappeared in the scorching heat of the psychic flame.

Neither party present paid any attention to him.

"Your Excellency, the Supervisor."

Anthony raised his right hand, and the etched circuit that extended across his wrist flickered with silver light. "The area of ​​my spiritual energy balance is 'flow'."

The man spread his five fingers slightly and slowly moved them forward.

Song Shi raised his eyebrows, and when Anthony made this gesture, the air flow in the office changed.

Like a hard-bristle brush brushing across the messy mane of a wild horse, as the other party's five fingers swept across, the atmosphere in the entire office, which had originally become chaotic due to the flames and water mist, suddenly became smooth and flowed in the same direction.

Anthony clenched his fist.

The airflow that was originally like water satin suddenly collapsed, as if it was shattered on a bluestone slab, and fell to the ground with a crackling sound, dividing into countless directions and dispersing.

Song Shi raised his hand and grabbed a handful of air, feeling it carefully, and understood: "The force is OK, ordinary individual thermal firepower, as long as it is not at the level of close-range metal jets, it will hardly pose a threat to you."

"But in this case, the defense is obviously stronger than the offense. How do you rely on offensive power? Thermal weapons?"

"Yes."

Anthony lifted the hem of his suit, revealing a pair of hard iron-colored pistols hanging on each side of his waist. The one on the right was dark gray and heavy, while the one on the left was black and slender.

"'Stardust' energy pulse pistol, the attack medium is pulse laser." He introduced them one by one, first pointing to the slender black one, then pointing to the dark gray heavy one: "'Cross Sword' precision kinetic pistol, the advantages are range and accuracy."

"I can make the pulse laser 'divide' or 'merge' according to the application scenario. The Cross Sword precision kinetic pistol is designed for scenarios where live ammunition shooting is required."

"Well, overall, defense is better than offense."

Song Shi nodded, first raising his index finger, then his middle finger.

He put his two fingers together to form a sword, and the red-gold flame spontaneously emanated and lingered around him.

"——I'll attack and you'll defend. Okay, here I come."
