Love, Gun, Cupid

Lin Jiade slept exceptionally soundly. When he woke up, Jasmine was reading a book beside him. Seeing that he was awake, she asked, "Are you alright?"

"The experience was quite amazing."

After briefly explaining the situation, Lin Jiade added, "With the example of Kapok before me, I seem to have accepted the idea of ​​someone I know undergoing gender reassignment quite easily. I'm going to talk to him today."

“You’re getting into more and more trouble,” Jasmine said. “Don’t do things beyond your capabilities.”

"On the contrary, I feel wonderful right now... Oh, by the way, I still hope you can represent me at tonight's meeting with Kapok."

"no problem."

Lin Jiade and Mu Mian still have common interests to discuss, so they meet once a week. This week, Lin Jiade didn't want to go. Moreover, Jasmine always stayed alone in her room when he was on a mission, and Lin Jiade felt a little sorry for her, so he took the initiative to involve her in his affairs.

In the evening, the two of them set off. Jasmine went to see Kapok, while Lin Jiade went to find Old Mu. He caught up with Old Mu at his girlfriend's clinic.

Old Mu looked flustered; his only hope, his girlfriend, was busy treating patients and had no time for him. Lin Jiade smiled, pulled a revolver slightly out of his pocket, the threat quite obvious.

Old Mu went out nervously, and the two entered the campus, picked the lock, and went to the roof of the main teaching building. Lin Jiade asked, "Can we talk now? Or should we transform into magical girls and fight each other?"

Old Mu argued, "We are not magical girls, but guardians of the holy land. We just happen to wear clothes that look like magical girls."

"Guardians of the Holy Land... It's clear you're protecting the Holy Land. But what is the Holy Land?"

"I don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."

"Then tell me what you can say: why are you the guardian of the Holy Land?"

"The Holy Land will select people within a nearby area, grant them power in exchange for their protection... at least that's what the captain said."

The Holy Land of Fuxing City chooses women as guardians, but I am an exception. I don't know why I was chosen, but as you can see, when I use this power, I transform into a girl, both physically and mentally. So for all these years, my teammates have never known that I am a man in disguise.

“Uh, you’re quite pretty as a girl,” Lin Jiade said.

"Thank you, but I'm not happy at all. This force has made me look like this, and it has also affected my behavior. I know very well what you will say about me behind my back."

"What is your professional title? Which department do you belong to?" Lin Jiade said. "I have never known of your existence before, not even the senior professional titles I know."

"Because we belong directly to Brilliant City, protecting the city in the darkness. Your superhuman ways of living in the sunlight don't work here. We protect the city, not distinguishing people by titles or the magic we've mastered. We are all nameless heroes."

So this matter..."

Old Mu was a little awkward. The way he lowered his head vaguely resembled his feminine form. Lin Jiade felt that a new door had opened a crack in front of him, but he closed it himself.

“I understand, I understand, it’s a secret, right?” Lin Jiade asked, “Does your girlfriend know about this?”

“She’s an ordinary person, how could she possibly know about this? Every time I’m about to go out, I have to make sure she’s fast asleep beforehand, and then I run to the living room and transform myself with trepidation.”

"Oh, is this job dangerous?"

"As you can see, those monsters only appear on the night of the full moon, and only once a month, so I only have to work hard that one time a month."

"It would be terrible if the monsters stormed the holy land, but I can easily wipe them out before they get in. You can have a peaceful dream, thanks to my years of hard work."

"Thank you," Lin Jiade said.

Old Mu smiled in response, but his expression quickly turned serious: "So, how exactly did you get in?"

Chapter Fourteen Cooperation

"Last September, I was attacked by a witchcraft creature, which was the beginning of everything. This January, I took the exam to advance to the intermediate level, which required me to capture this witchcraft creature."

Yesterday, after I finished investigating the clues and was returning home, I was attacked by this thing. It sucked me into a tunnel, and as I walked, I ended up back in Fuxing City—but not the one I knew.

After hearing this, Old Mu turned pale and asked, "What does that thing look like?"

"A black cat that can pass through witchcraft and magical shields; gunshots have no effect on it, but witchcraft can harm it."

“It’s those monsters you’ve seen,” Old Mu said. “I’ve told you before, haven’t I? After those monsters rushed into the Holy Land, they gained the ability to kill all living things in the city. That is, they can appear in the city at any time except from midnight to four o’clock on the night of the full moon and kill people with their own power.”

We usually don't interfere, since the number of monsters that storm the holy land is extremely rare, and the superhumans in Fuxing City also handle monsters and maintain order. So most of the time, we just report it to the police station and let the professionals handle it.

Lin Jiade replied, "Obviously, the police did not receive your notification."

"That's the problem. That monster lurked in Fuxing City for at least five months without our knowledge, passing through the Holy Land."

Old Mu scratched his cheek: "Could we step aside for a moment? I need to report information to the captain, and I need to use the Guardian form."

Lin Jiade nodded and turned around. A few seconds later, he heard Lao Mu reporting the situation to the captain in a woman's voice. The thought that his friend, with whom he had played football, had actually turned into a woman made him feel uncomfortable, so he walked away a little.

Ten minutes later, Old Mu... Mu Xiu called him back and told him that the captain had sent her to assist him, first to confirm whether the clues about the black cat on his side were true, and at the same time, they had reported the information to their superiors. While waiting, they would take action first.

“We still need to go and check on Teacher Yang. Those monsters might fool your eyes, but they won’t fool mine. If this proves that Teacher Yang’s pet is just an ordinary black cat, then we can all rest assured,” Mu Xiu said.

"The two of us?" Lin Jiade expressed doubt. "That monster killed me almost instantly, even if you were included..."

Mu Xiu shrugged: "Am I being underestimated? The Guardians' power is indeed not good at fighting humans, but we are professionals at fighting those monsters that emerge from the darkness."

"Sorry, I have to think about my own life." Lin Jiade held up his phone. "Don't mind if I call in some backup?"

Mu Xiu asked warily, "Is he someone I can trust?"

"They are from the Special Tactics and Rescue Services team."

“Then that person is not someone you can trust,” Mu Xiu said.

"why?"

"The Special Tactics and Rescue Services manages the city's supernatural affairs, which is tantamount to managing the city. If you were the manager of this city, would you allow an independent and mysterious force to exist on your territory?"

In the past, there have been precedents of superhumans attempting to bring the Holy Land and its guardians under their control, and that incident caused quite a stir. If I were to agree to your reinforcements without my consent, I suspect the captain would be furious with me. The captain is stubborn; going to her won't help."

"So, we kept quiet and teamed up on our own to investigate leads?"

"Don't worry, we may not be able to win, but at least I'll keep your life safe."

Lin Jiade watched his classmate with great interest. Mu Xiu, a woman, was more assertive, confident, cheerful, and talkative than the men, probably because she possessed power.

"Okay, let's go eat first, then we'll set off. Old Mu... uh, what should I call you now?"

"An ice cave, like a flower yet not a flower, perfectly describes my life." The guardian of the holy land stretched out his hand, "Let's get to know each other again."

"My registered name is Lin Huang."

Lin Jiade grasped the hand in the ice cave, its surface smooth and soft to the touch. As they released each other, they both looked at their palms with a strange expression.

Lin Jiade asked uncertainly, "Were your hands always that small?"

"After the transformation, I was only about 1.6 meters tall, which is amazing, isn't it? Although the memories are shared, every time I recall my transformation, I feel like I'm a completely different person."

Mu Xiu walked up to Lin Jiade and gestured to him. She was only up to Lin Jiade's chest, which made her look even smaller in comparison to his tall and strong physique.

She reached out and pinched Lin Jiade's arm: "It's so hard, but it didn't feel that hard before."

"This is the magic I'm learning. I'm forging myself. My goal is to make every part of me as hard as iron... Of course, that's just a figure of speech. There's no limit to the path to becoming stronger."

Ice Cave retreated: "Let's go, and by the way, tell me how you became a superhuman."

"Ah, this all started last September..."

They went to a nearby restaurant because it was easy to run into acquaintances from school. Since Ice Cave's face was a female version of Old Mu, it was easy for people to recognize her. So they chose seats on the side, with Lin Jiade sitting on the outside, his figure blocking the woman on the inside.

As the distance closed, his senses inevitably began to capture the image of the ice cave. He watched as her profile was enveloped in a warm glow, her long black hair cascading down her back, with a few strands clinging to her pink dress. As she moved, the hair clips on her head swayed.

Underneath the ice cave dress was a creamy white slip dress, elaborately and delicately decorated, from which her slender neck and hands peeked out from the neckline and cuffs.

"She's totally a girl," Lin Jiade thought. "There's not a trace of a man in her."

Lin Jiade treated Bing Dong to a meal, and the latter ate his food in small, refined bites while listening quietly to him speak. Of course, regarding his own romantic situation, he only mentioned his relationship with Jianlan.

After listening, the ice cave asked, "Do you regret living this kind of life after you gained power?"

"there has never been."

"Then I am filled with regret. If I had been able to reject that force back then, I wouldn't exist now."

“There’s no need to deny yourself, Miss Hero. You’ve protected this city.” Lin Jiade stood up. “Alright, we should go now.”

Ice Cave stood up, and Lin Jiade in front of her suddenly stopped. She bumped into his back, staggered backward, covered her nose, and her eyes welled up with tears.

Why did you suddenly stop?

She peeked out from behind Lin Jiade with a hint of resentment and saw two unfamiliar women standing opposite her, both staring at Lin Jiade.

Chapter Fifteen: Reversing the Alliance

A while back in time, Kapok eagerly awaited Lin Jiade's arrival at a restaurant near the school, but instead, she was greeted by Jasmine.

Kapok's eyes were full of disappointment, while Jasmine looked Kapok up and down, and the first thing she noticed was the swollen curve of Kapok's breasts.

In terms of bust size, Mumian is definitely not as good as Jianlan, but in terms of cup size, the key data that determines fullness, Mumian is even better than Jianlan. In addition, Mumian's full thighs and buttocks make her a powerful tool to awaken male hormones.

Jasmine looked down at herself and sat opposite Kapok with a gloomy mood. Only then did she notice that Kapok was dressed in men's clothing, with no makeup or accessories on her face.

"If only we could switch bodies," Jasmine thought.

She said, "He had something to do, so he asked me to meet with you."

"what's up?"

"It involves matters related to professional title promotion."

Mu Mian nodded: "Do you remember FN Company? The arms company that sponsored me. I have become the heir of the Hart family, and my brother has also stabilized the situation of the branch company, so they plan to increase their investment in me. This involves Lin Jiade."

Jasmine said with undisguised pride, "This is not surprising. After all, my boyfriend has his moments of glory, and investing in him has a great advertising effect."

"Once he is promoted to intermediate rank and learns the corresponding level two magic, they will make him a special combat suit."

“I think he will agree,” Jasmine nodded, “Next.”

"Hehuan's family has been released on bail, but their ultimate fate depends on the power struggle among the big shots. Before their accounts are frozen, they have already begun to divide the assets."

If Lin Jiade is interested, he can try to take over Hehuan's properties in Fuxing City.

Jasmine frowned: "I've seen similar scenes when I did the dirty work for the previous lord. This kind of free property is actually a hot potato."

“From the very beginning, Lin Jiade was seen by outsiders as being in cahoots with Hehuan, and he can’t shake off that label,” Mu Mian said. “At the same time, I will combine what I can get with what Lin Jiade gets in exchange for his formal commitment: to take care of Hehuan for the rest of his life.”

Jasmine was somewhat surprised: "So fast..."

"You must be prepared for everything."

"Why aren't you the one taking care of Hehuan?"

"Because I am a woman, and Hehuan is not a homosexual."

At this point, Mu Mian's expression turned sour, as if being a woman was a terrible thing.

"Is there anything else?" Jasmine asked.
