This bunch of idiots, is this going to end?

As a Starfall City with relatively tight security, weapons generally do not leak out. However, its own special nature still makes it normal for people to carry weapons here.

What's more, as more and more leaders arrive on the island, the groups responsible for defense along the way need to be fully armed.

This also means that if someone really wants to do something, it is easy to obtain personal weapons.

In the past, this was not a problem, because magical girls are actually of the same nature. Each of them is equivalent to a lethal weapon with a bomb attached to her body. In comparison, it is a piece of cake for An Jianyuan to carry a gun.

However, with Ji Hui present, those weapons became unstable factors that could easily cause danger, allowing everyone to secretly cause some chaos.

Maybe I should consider talking to my superiors about taking control of the weapons depot management and personal equipment.

While flying towards the destination, Leona couldn't help but think in her heart.

Otherwise, relying solely on them and other security personnel would be too much to handle, not to mention adding more personnel. This would make it easier for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of their positions and do more dangerous things.

A faint flash of light emerging from the block below startled Leona. After signaling others to go first, she also flew down from the sky and landed towards the alley where something strange had just happened.

This is a fluorescent plank road. For aesthetic reasons, fluorescent forest lamps are pasted on the walls, making it look like a theme park.

Although nothing seemed unusual, Leona still raised her wand, stroked the gem on the front, and let the magic wave spread.

She trusted her intuition very much, so when she found that there was nothing wrong, she did not relax, but just kept her eyes on the things around her.

The next moment, she raised her wand and fired a magic cannon at the empty wall.

"whispering sound"

The magical girl who was hiding there couldn't help but be slightly shocked. She didn't dare to take on the terrifying power head-on. She could only reveal her figure and quickly flew up, trying to escape.

"stop!"

The fact that she was able to dodge her initial magic detection showed that her opponent's strength was not low. Therefore, when Leona saw her flying straight towards the building, she rushed up without any hesitation, and let the magic power dissipating from her body turn into steaming purple airflow, wrapping her up.

Obviously, the original plan was disrupted, so the magical girl no longer had any concerns. She just vented her magic power all at once, letting the magic bullets fall like raindrops.

Leona had to wave her staff and use a barrier to block the magic bullets before they fell to the ground and destroyed the surrounding buildings.

However, the noise of the explosions also affected many residents, waking them up from their sleep and allowing them to see the battle from outside the window.

Some of the magical girls instinctively transformed and chased after them, trying to stop the magical girl who was acting like a madman in the city, not distinguishing between innocent people and just trying to stop the security team.

As a result, the conflict, which was originally limited to a small area, intensified and chaos spread.

Due to the obstruction of several magical girls, she didn't last long and couldn't even get close to the original building before she was tied up tightly by several magical chains.

The words she was originally shouting were completely blocked in her closed mouth, so that the incessant and irritable voice did not push the situation to a worse state.

However, allowing the people in this neighborhood to be affected could be considered a failure on another level, so when Leona took the magical girl back to the management office, her face turned ashen.

"Deputy Captain, we've dealt with the copycat and the bomb has been defused."

"However, the criminals this time have committed suicide by gunshot. We are still trying to identify them. Judging from their faces, they are probably not members of the Dark Mace Garden on this island. They are probably from the group that returned from the expedition abroad."

"I understand. Please pay more attention to your safety. Also, have a group of people continue to patrol around the building."

Enough of these crazy people who only make things a mess.

Chapter 533 Confiscating Weapons

"What do you mean?"

Looking at the people putting away their weapons, Roy frowned deeply, subconsciously stepped back a few steps, and made a warning gesture.

Not only him, but his other companions also took precautions.

"I'm sorry, but I still hope you can cooperate. Starfall City is currently under martial law. We are collecting your weapons for the sake of stability and safety."

The security guard closest to him spoke calmly, explaining to his companions who had accompanied the person in charge to Starfall City.

"There have been multiple explosions and attacks targeting the extraterritorial demon Ji Hui, several of which have affected residents. To prevent escalation of conflict and for the sake of the city, we are currently managing and restricting weapons. This also applies to all magical girls. Please register and report."

"We are targeting the extraterritorial demons, so we need to restrict our weapons?"

Roy's tone was filled with obvious suspicion and dissatisfaction, and he gripped the pistol at his waist even tighter.

"Have you guys mistakenly thought about something? When did Starfall City become a place where you have to castrate yourself just to flatter the demons from beyond the realm? Have you ever considered how we would respond if a problem really arose?"

"It's not that weapons are completely restricted, but they need to be managed to a certain extent. If a conflict arises, we will distribute them, not to mention that there are security personnel."

The obvious alert actions of him and other personnel also made the security personnel's tone heavier. At the same time, they asked others to slightly raise the explosion-proof shields in their hands, ready to stop them before they could suddenly attack and hurt others.

"Please cooperate, and please be aware that this is Starfall City. Your suspicion itself is an insult to us."

"Insult? Coming up and confiscating our weapons, is that considered an insult?"

"If it weren't for these things, we would have died on the way. We narrowly escaped death, and the first thing we get here is to hand over the things that saved our lives?"

Another member couldn't help but ask angrily, making the security guard's tone even colder.

"You seem to have misunderstood something. We are taking back and controlling weapons precisely for the safety of more people. Or are you waiting until conflict breaks out again or even escalates before you start to regret it?"

It seemed that they were no longer going to waste time, and the others came over, ready to execute the order directly by force. Roy and the others immediately took out their weapons and raised their guns.

"enough."

However, the old and calm voice turned the conflict that was almost on the verge of collapse into a tense and oppressive situation.

"Mr. Luo"

Surrounded by a group of guards, Luo Mi looked at the security personnel in front of him who were holding explosion-proof shields, and gently tapped the ground with the crutch in his hand.

"Put the safety on to prevent accidental discharge."

Those words, which seemed like an implicit admission of fact, made the guards' eyes widen slightly, and they looked at him in disbelief.

And under his silence that seemed to show no intention of changing his mind, they could only put down their guns again after hesitation.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Their actions did make the security officer feel relieved. Even though it was a work matter, he didn't really like the feeling of pointing a gun at his colleagues.

"Compared to this, it seems that the extraterritorial demon has already arrived at the Starfall City."

While the others were handing over their weapons, Luo Mi slowly asked, causing the security guard who seemed to be the team leader to nod slightly.

"Yes, he came to the island with Mr. Duncan a few days ago and seems to be touring the Starfall City with some guards."

“How does he react and behave?”

After thinking for a moment, the security guard also answered.

"I'm not sure about the details. After all, I haven't had much formal contact with him, but he seems to have been in the arena recently, fighting with others."

"As for other matters, basically all of them are reported on the Starfall City intranet. They should be more detailed than what I've described. You can find out by just browsing through them after you rest, Mr. Luo."

After a few seconds, Luo Mi nodded slightly, not knowing whether he was distracted or thinking about something.

"That's it, I understand."

"Well, now that we're done, can we leave?"

His inquiry prompted the security guard to check everything. After confirming there were no other issues, he spoke.

"Well, there's no problem now. Please be careful, Mr. Luo."

Luo Mi just waved his hand without saying anything more. Accompanied by others, he got in the car and drove away from the airport.

"Mr. Luo, it's still early. Why don't we go to your yard and rest for a while? The attack on the plane probably didn't allow you to rest well."

The driver's question made Luo Mi shake his head slightly.

"No, let's just go straight to the headquarters and speed up."

The somewhat unexpected answer made him slightly stunned, but the calm yet serious expression of Luo Mi revealed through the rearview mirror made him step on the accelerator a little harder after responding.

"Shang Jiao."

"exist."

Shang Jiao responded quickly when his name was mentioned and turned to look at the old man sitting next to him.

"Retrieve all the information on the intranet about that extraterritorial demon."

"Yes."

After responding briefly, she took out the tablet computer from her backpack. After searching for a while, she retrieved all the information related to the words "Extraterritorial Demon" and "Ji Hui".

But then, looking at the photo of herself being taken to the police station, she couldn't help but be stunned and showed a strange expression.

"Ok?"

However, Luo Mina's words seemed to be urging her, which made her come back to her senses immediately. She nodded and handed the tablet to him.

Luo Mi's eyes stayed on the photo on the front page for two or three seconds, then dropped down and he flipped through the information on it bit by bit.

The silence that lasted for almost five minutes made Shang Jiao, who was watching from the side, unable to help but ask.

"Mr. Luo, is there anything unusual?"

As an assistant who had not been in the position for too long, her experience was still relatively immature, so she seemed a little nervous after arriving in Starfall City.

Luo Mi just raised his hand slightly, signaling her to be quiet for a while, and continued to read the information silently.

squeak----

It was not until the wheels of the car came to a stop and made a friction sound against the ground, and their car stopped in front of the headquarters building, that Luo Mi finally put down the computer in his hand and sighed slowly.

"We were attacked."

Chapter 534 Invisible Attack

Duncan's face became very gloomy, and he placed the information in his hand directly on the table in anger.

“We are under attack.”

"what?"

Because of his sudden call, the people who gathered in the conference room were stunned and subconsciously looked around.

"Attacked? Where?"

Sha Hongyi's expression showed a hint of confusion. He checked his mobile phone and found no other reports of attacks.

"It's not a physical attack, but an intangible, spiritual impact."

As Duncan spoke, he distributed the documents that had been copied in advance to other people.

"At the very beginning, there were rumors that Ji Hui's presence indirectly led to the attack on the members of Anjianyuan."

"The next thing was that the Dark Mace Garden did nothing and allowed him to roam freely in the Starfall City."

"Add to that the fact that some magical girls and members of the Dark Mace Garden appeared in various regions, unable to distinguish right from wrong and attempting to drag innocent people with them, causing the guards to become exhausted both physically and mentally."

"Among those magical girls who came on the expedition, there were also various rumors about Anjianyuan's incompetence and cowardice."

"And now, because of the weapons control, there has been discord and conflict between the new group of people coming to the island, the security guards, and even the people on the island who originally opposed this request."

As he spoke, the others also looked down at the organized information.

However, they had already seen a lot of these things in their daily work, so the only one who really browsed them carefully was Kawauchi Sae, who had safely reached the island later.

After roughly understanding these things, he slowly raised his head and looked at Duncan with his middle-aged face, which was already stained with some traces of time.

"Is there any substantial evidence? If not, then with all due respect, this should be within our expectations."

"After all, satisfying everyone is impossible. Furthermore, you actually brought that controversial extraterritorial demon with you. I find it unlikely that these rumors wouldn't spread."

"There's substantial evidence. My people are investigating as best they can, but the proportion of these rumors is already 20% higher than others estimated."

Duncan took a deep breath and explained to him.

"Haven't you noticed yet? Starfall City has become increasingly noisy and boisterous. Ji Hui has been at the arena all this time. He should be a suitable outlet, allowing most residents to reasonably and safely vent their negative emotions and their prejudices against him."

"However, the dissatisfaction and attacks against him have not diminished in the slightest. Instead, they've intensified, even targeting Dark Mace Garden and the magical girls themselves. They're even leaning towards a split. This clearly goes against normal rules."

"Someone is deliberately stirring up trouble behind the scenes and trying to let the rumors continue to spread, using a knife to kill someone else and causing Starfall City to become increasingly chaotic."

"They are not targeting our military force, but our management system. They are trying to create chaos and make our information increasingly redundant and mixed, thereby undermining public credibility and even paralyzing it, causing greater chaos."

After tapping the table lightly with her slender fingers for a while, Rebecca maintained a serious expression for a rare time and spoke to Duncan.

"But, you need to consider one thing."

"Even if we consider all of this as a factual situation and vigorously crack down on these rumors, even if we jail all the rumormongers and pass the responsibility down to the public, it will only make more people think that we are angry and trying to silence more people, thus further affecting the entire Dark Mace Garden."

"And the other party doesn't need to put in any effort at all, or even actually show up. They just need to complain like an ordinary person in a store or somewhere else, as if chatting casually. They don't even need to think about their words in advance. They just say whatever comes to mind and come up with some nonsense that sounds convincing. The cost is almost zero."
